Tsukasa walked to the inn's front desk with some trepidation.
By the way, what was the registration process for an inn in another world?
Had she just made the wrong choice?
They wouldn't need an ID card, would they?
No, no, no, this world shouldn't be advanced to that point yet.
"Guest, how long will you be staying?"
"One night."
"One night is 5 gold coins. If you want dinner and breakfast included, it's 6 gold coins."
She took out six of the gold coins she had conveniently picked up earlier and handed them over. She then received a card and a key with a room number on it. It seemed that was the entire registration process. Tsukasa's originally nervous mood relaxed; she had long said that the humans in this other world didn't have a very high sense of security, otherwise the defense measures at the city gate wouldn't have been so crude.
"Wait."
"..."
Tsukasa was just about to turn and leave when she was suddenly called back by the clerk.
"What is it?"
"Would you like your dinner delivered to your room?"
"Yes."
"Alright, sorry for the trouble. Your dinner will be delivered within twenty minutes."
Tsukasa nodded.
Feeling somewhat
uncomfortable staying there, she headed to the second floor. After finding her room, she used the key to open the door and immediately locked it from the inside. Eidor deactivated her invisibility after entering the room. She looked at Tsukasa, who was nervously heading straight for the bathroom, feeling a bit puzzled. Without using Mind Reading, she really didn't understand what Tsukasa was so nervous about.
Tsukasa, who originally just wanted to wash her face in the bathroom, was momentarily stunned after seeing what it looked like inside. It wasn't because it was ugly, but because this bathroom was actually not much different from the one in her previous world. Although it was still a bit more backward, why was there a toilet here, as well as a vanity, and even pipes and faucets?
This was too unreasonable!
Although the exterior of the inn looked like a medieval style from the outside.
The interior was so luxurious.
That's right, she could only use the word 'luxurious' to describe it. After all, when she lived in the village before, there were no toilets there. Otherwise, why do you think she adapted so quickly upon entering the Monster Mountain Range? It was because her life in the village wasn't much better. She had originally thought the overall level of this world was medieval, or even more backward than the Middle Ages.
But—
She truly was a frog in a well.
Was life in the big city actually this blissful?!
Wow, this is just too blissful.
It's been so long since I used a toilet.
This feels great.
Turning on the faucet.
What a convenient design.
Why didn't I know how good these things were before?
Damn it.
There's no way she can go back to that frugal life in the mountains now.
Eidor saw that Tsukasa had only gone into the bathroom once, and when she came out, her entire vibe had changed.
Tsukasa ran to the bedside and jumped onto it.
"Hoo~ Hoo~"
A soft, fluffy big bed.
Ah, is this heaven?
These damn people of the other world actually know how to enjoy themselves so much.
It's simply too decadent!
If just an inn provides such a high-end experience, one can only imagine what kind of life those nobles enjoy.
She became even more firm in her previous idea.
The execution of the plan could no longer be delayed.
*Knock knock.*
Fifteen minutes later.
A knock sounded at the door.
The middle-aged Adventurer opened the door.
The clerk delivered his dinner to the room.
"You can contact the front desk if there are any issues. You can just leave the finished dishes at the door."
Leaving behind those words.
The clerk tactfully exited the room.
Tsukasa looked at the incredibly sumptuous dinner on the table.
An extra-large piece of beef, thicker than a fist and larger than a face.
A cream-filled bread that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
A thick soup made with corn kernels and some unknown meat or offal mixed with milk.
A fruit platter made from a mix of various fruits.
And an unopened bottle of ale.
While Tsukasa was surprised by the lavishness, she also thought of some details. She seemed to have underestimated the purchasing power of gold coins, and she appeared to have been treated as a fat sheep and fleeced by the clerk. This set didn't look like an ordinary meal at all; it was probably the most expensive luxury set in their shop. Otherwise, who would eat such a sumptuous meal at night?
However, the wallet she had swiped earlier only contained gold coins. Just how much money did that guy have? Carrying only the largest denomination when going out without any small change. Or perhaps this was just the'small change' that guy usually used?
Tsukasa took a sip of the soup and then said to Eidor, "You eat this."
She had known for a long time that the Fairy Race were not vegetarians.
Miss Fairy's previous behavior was all an act.
She would let her have this bowl of delicious soup.
In fact, the Fairy Race, like humans, were omnivorous creatures.
"Thank you, then I won't be polite."
Eidor carefully took a tiny sip from the spoon.
She found that the taste was indeed not bad.
Tsukasa gave the soup to Eidor and kept the steak for herself.
She poured herself a glass of ale.
The ale smelled quite sweet.
But as soon as it touched her mouth, she couldn't help but frown.
How could it be so bitter?
She cautiously moved the ale further away.
She decided she would never drink such low-grade alcohol again.
As expected, only the kind of red wine kept in Baron Chronos's private collection was suitable for a person of high taste like her.
"Is it bad?"
Eidor flew over, poked her head into the glass, and took a lick.
"It's not bad."
Tsukasa stopped her motion of cutting the steak.
"This kind of wine doesn't suit me."
"Is that so?"
"Of course."
Eidor half-believed her explanation.
However, Eidor still didn't quite understand.
Because this bottle of wine really wasn't bad.
Having eaten and drunk her fill.
Tsukasa leaned against the back of the chair, looking incredibly lazy and decadent.
Speaking of which, there was a bathtub in the bathroom.
So there should be hot water, right?
"Eidor, let's go out one more time."
"Oh."
Going out this time,
Tsukasa conveniently stole a few more pieces of clothing to bring back.
This time, she didn't look for expensive ones, but instead took a few more common items.
Although the second
clothing store she found still had a decor that wasn't cheap.
Because this store was already closed, she unscrupulously found clothes that fit her size, including underwear. Thus, her expensive Wolf King Equipment could be declared retired. Although the Wolf King's fur was indeed very valuable, because she had worn it herself, Tsukasa decisively disposed of the equipment cleanly using her strongest fire magic.
She secretly returned to the inn.
Setting the hot water,
Tsukasa stripped naked and lay inside. The temperature of the hot water made her unable to resist letting out a comfortable moan: "Ah~ paradise, paradise~"
There was no going back now.
If anyone dared to make her return to that life which was worse than death, she would kill them.
Soaking in the hot water, time passed bit by bit.
Suddenly, something intruded into this domain.
Tsukasa's originally closed eyes snapped open.
She saw Miss Fairy strip off her clothes and lie down against her chest, and she couldn't help but shout immediately.
"Wait, Eidor, what are you doing in here?"
"But you looked like you were enjoying yourself so much."
"Then why are you leaning so close to me?"
"Eh~ what does it matter? I just wanted to get close to little Tsukasa."
"Wait, you're like a bug like this, it's so gross, don't come over here!"
"To say that about me, how mean!"
"Pfft! Hahaha, you—"
The two of them began to play around.
A staff member passing by outside heard the sounds from within and seemed quite concerned, because the guest inside should have been a male Adventurer. However, thinking that it was the guest's privacy, he had to pretend he hadn't heard anything, picked up the tableware from the door, and left.
The next morning, when the old Adventurer went to the front desk to check out, the staff member's gaze toward him was somewhat subtle.
