171 Lesson 171

The man guided me to a place that was certainly an inn. Slightly old-fashioned, interesting, uniquely atmospheric, and many other expressions, but in short, it was a vague inn.

"This is our inn. It may look a little arrogant, but the service isn't so bad."

There was only one option Atal had for the grand innkeeper.

"You'll be in trouble for one night."

There was no other inn until I got here, so it was only natural for me to get this reply. The Caros did not dispute in particular that it was Atal's decision.

"Thank you every time. I'll be ready for you in the entrance as soon as I can."

The door opens with a slightly tight sound, and the Ataru wait in what was called the entrance.

"Entrance...... hey"

Atal looks around while they wait. It wasn't a place you could call an entrance before reception, it just had a counter and a worn out chair and table to say sorry about.

"Something's amazing"

The bittersweet caro is also cloudy with words, but it was clear he didn't have a good impression. Even if he is tolerant of the poor environment in his slave life, he seems to wonder how this place might be called a lodging house.

"... for now I just have to thank you for the rain dew"

I was forced to convince myself that I also had no choice but to Atal, who understood that everything would not go with comfort on the journey.

I don't even feel like sitting in a chair that's about to break even now, and the innkeeper returns as I stand.

"You kept me waiting. It's the deepest right-hand room up. This is the key."

Without explaining the fine conditions, my husband pulled straight into the back of the counter when he only gave me the key.

That made the Ataru's hearts even worse.

"... what do we do?

"... what shall we do?

'Aren't you going?

Balkias, with a decent look on his face, had already tried to raise the stairs, but leaned his neck against the two who remained standing up.

I was also hesitant to head to the room because I hadn't heard about the usual rates, length of stay, and detailed service if it was a lodging. But there's no sign of my husband coming back, and Balkias is willing to head to his room, so the Ataru have no choice but to go upstairs.

"Here."

The room appreciated was the only one with the room number on the door and also matched the number on the key.

When I opened the key and went in, I had two new sheeted beds available that didn't look good in the old room. Only the bed can be seen as a floating presence in this room.

"Well, I need you to do this..."

"But your room is beautiful! Look, open the window... that?

Caro tries to open the window to change the air, but it didn't seem to open because he wanted to.

"... leave it intact so it doesn't break"

There was no lighting and the only light I had was a lamp that I was sorry about.

Sighing, Atal sits on the bed.

"In the meantime, is it time to eat dinner in your room and get some rest, as the sun goes down"

"That's right, I'm a little nervous even if you served me dinner honestly..."

Caro agrees with Atal that he didn't think he could have any expectations, either hygienically or tastefully.

"I'm hungry too!

Balkias was opening his mouth and moving his tail up and down as soon as possible because he didn't care about that.

"Ha ha, is Bal that hungry? Ok...... brighten it up before then"

Soothed by the innocent Balkias, Atar launches to wait in the ceiling when he magically creates balls of light.

"Now you're easier to see. Let's say we serve a meal."

I took a meal for three out of my bag and said hello to everyone before putting my hands on it.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

"It's delicious."

As soon as he got his hands on the smell of appetite filling the room, Caro smiled relieved by a delicious meal, and Balkias had a melting look on his face.

"Okay, so am I... who?

Atal, who was looking at the two faces with serenity, felt the sign of someone outside the room, so he stopped the hand of the meal and spoke to the door.

But I didn't get a response from the other side just because of the rattling noise.

"... you want to see"

The vigilant Atar knew the signs had gone away, but he looks softly out the door just in case.

"People, that's more than one, too. Look after your shoes. You're not the owner."

When I looked at the floor, it was quite dusty because I didn't do much cleaning, leaving behind the shoes of the person who would have been here earlier.

"Do you understand?

"Oh, the shopkeeper's shoes were shoes with flat soles. The rest of these shoes are like a traveler wearing."

Neither features much, but Atal found that it was new thanks to the dust.

"Kun-kun, something smells weird"

Balkias, who kept his nose close to the floor while being careful not to inhale dust, was feeling a different smell from the body odor of the average person.

"Did you see how it went or did you try to find us... we'll leave early tomorrow"

The two nodded and returned with similar thoughts on Atal's words as he closed the door.

Sometimes during the meal, the three of them decide to take turns, considering that there are enemy attacks at night. Each of them was well suited to keeping an eye out because of their ability to detect signs.

Next morning.

In a room slightly illuminated by magical light, Atal rises without loosening his guard around him, deciding that he would have had his morning in physical time. The last person in charge of the watch was Atal, so I'm going to wake them both up in order.

"Caro, Bal, get up"

I shake my body gently in turn, speaking softly to both of them.

"Ugh, yeah...... good morning"

"... ohhhhh"

They both slept shallow because of the restless environment, and they wake up soon. I breathe that I was greeted with a morning without anything ever happening for the first time.

"It's not long till night, but it's time to get ready."

Atal is already in good hands and both of them will finish dressing soon. It was only minimally removed, such as armor, so it was completed immediately.

"Well, I don't know what's out of here... let's go"

When you open the door to the room with the feeling as if you were before you went to the fight, you head to the reception downstairs. Still dusty and overall dirty.

"Oh, are you guys leaving early this morning? Then please settle the charges first. There will be three silver coins."

I bowled in with the man who was just at the entrance when the Atals came down. Atal decides to pay for it, as it was not particularly serviced, but this amount would not be at an extrajudicial price.

"Oh, that's just it. I took care of you."

"Thanks every time...... take care then"

Though caught in the tone of his master's words that made him contain, Ataru and his men left the inn.
