Inn, Suite Room 1

(Hakus Point of View)

[Cave of Desires] was Rokuko-chans dungeons new name.

It was decided on when Sias adventurer guild confirmed the information in the report.

But still, she was already found no, she did it voluntarily.

Well, in addition to that, the report also said that there was an inn.

I thought that making the [Inn (400,000 DP~)] would take more time and certainly not be announced simultaneously with the dungeon I wonder what in the world they did for income? A human farm? Hmm, its too early for that. Maybe they excavated some orichalcum?

And so, I used [Teleport] as soon as I could to be Rokuko-chans inns [First Customer].

*

Unfortunately, although I missed the chance to have the honor of being her [First Customer], I decided to stay in the suite.

Incidentally, I was given the important duty of assessing a fair price for it. Fufufu, many inns have been built in the imperial capital. Furthermore, to say nothing of the top class inns suites Ive stayed in around the kingdom for my duties, Ive also stayed in various inns as an adventurer. There probably isnt anyone more suited to this than me.

Now then, I wonder if I can get a hot bath without needing to wait?

Though you could perfectly clean your body with Cleanup, it feels great when you wipe your body clean with a cloth dampened in hot water. Although such a service cant be expected in a cheap hotel meant for low rank adventurers, but something that calls itself a suite room should be able to.

Ahh, um, sorry.

Oh my. I cant?

A demerit right away then? Good grief, if you dont properly improve your service, itll be hard to call this a suite

There is a bath in the room if you want hot water, so please use that. Use it as much as you like.

Huh? A-as much as I want?

There is a mechanism with levers coming out of it attached to the bath for that.

Did the [Inn] have a room with that function? Maybe there was an option to enhance it If its just the suite, the expenditure would be lowered. As expected of Rokuko-chans master.

Yeah, other than the suite, you can enter the hot spring as much as you want.

Theres even a hot spring?

Its our main attraction.

A [Hot Spring] would cost DP separate from an [Inn] I wonder how much they spent? I dont consider it that expensive, but it seems theyve splurged.

If I recall, a normal room is fifty copper coins. As for entering the hot spring as much as you want, I wonder if most of the costs went towards that? I wonder if I should have stayed in a normal room?

So then Haku Ane-sama, Ill show you to your room!

Rokuko-chan led me to the suite room This service is worth the one gold coin oops, I shouldnt allow my opinion to affect the reasonable price.

Rokuko-chan stood in front of the room she took me to Hmm, its not a normal wooden door, but surrounded by iron plating? Its also has a lock.

I wonder if it was broken at one point and they replaced it with a dungeon door? Thats probably it.

Here it is! Take you time, Ane-sama!

When I opened the door, it was bright inside. The sun was shining.

There was fantastically carved wooden furniture, as well as a bed. There was also what looked to be a comfortable chair to sit in. Hmm, what country is this engraving style from? Perhaps from another world?

There was a clock on the wall. Having a clock was convenient, it was a particularly expensive magic tool. There is a bell that rings in the town, but theres no way you could hear it out here.

And the window where the light was shining through is that a sheet of crystal inserted into it? It looks like you can even shut out the light by shutting the cloth next to it.

Indeed, in this case this suite might just pass.

Oh, theres also a restroom with a bath in it isnt there? I almost forgot about it.

Lets give it a look. The bath was made of some kind of wood.

However, there was no hot water in it Ah, these are the levers? Theres an explanation written.

I see, so this one is hot water, this one for water When I tried it out to experiment, hot water came out into the bath Isnt this a little hot? Ah, you can turn on the water one as well.

Chloe, what do you think?

Isnt this room wonderful? Its even better than the kingdoms hotels suites.

Even I didnt expect this much.

For now, lets sit down on the chair.

This chair is very comfortable, it feels great.

Haku-sama, it says this chair is a magic tool called a [Massage Chair] It seems that it will massage you when you place a copper coin into it.

Hmm? Try putting one in.

When Chloe put a copper coin into it, the chair began to vibrate.

Wha-wh-wh-wh-wha-what the heck is this!? Faaah!

Haku-sama!? A-are you alright!?

I-Im fine, ah, this, amazi fuah feels so gooood

Ahh I think I could fall asleep just like this Ive been working hard recently so that I could come to this inn ahhh

*

When I woke up, Chloe put the cloth that was next to the chair on me Hmm, this chair feels very good. Even though its light and isnt that thick, it feels warm.

This chair, I wonder if they wont finance it. Around ten gold coins

I havent seen a magic tool like this before. It might be particularly valuable, troublesome

I wonder if fifty wouldnt be enough then?

It sounds like you liked it quite a lot?

Yeah, its very good ah, I slept through meal time. I wonder if its fine now? If I remember right, they said itd be brought if I pressed the button in this room.

There is a button on the wall with a cover over it so that it wouldnt be pressed on accident. The cover is unexpectedly made of crystal, isnt it it doesnt look like theres anything holding it together, I wonder how it was made? Was it made just for this?

At any rate, I pressed the button. For a moment, it sounded like metal was striking against something.

What kind of mechanism is this? Did an [Inn] even have this kind of option?

After a while, well, after three minutes, there was a knock at the door.

They prepared the food quickly. Perhaps, did they use DP for it?

Haku Ane-sama, I brought your meal!

Please enter Rokuko-chan!

When I opened the door, Rokuko-chan was pulling a rack with dishes on it.

There were three dishes on the serving rack. They were covered with a metal covering so I couldnt see what their contents were So theyre properly using covers, this is also a high level thing Our countrys suite bring meals bare.

Oh my, I wonder whats in these square containers? Ah, there seems to be drinks inside as well. There is a spoon and a straw attached to it.

Wait, crystal glasses? To freely use it for that because of that, I can see whats inside it, lets see green? Theres something white floating halfway up it could it be a potion and potato mix? Thats somehow an amazing combination

Ah, oh my. Three?

I-I wanted to eat together with Haku Ane-sama cant I?

You definitely can! Rokuko-chan, leave it to Chloe. Sit, sit.

M-mm, I cant. Chloe is also a customer today.

Rokuko-chan diligently laid out the dishes on the table.

Drops of water were appearing outside the glass Probably from using ice magic. It looks fairly cold

Well then, lets go~. Yeah~, ta-da~!

When Rokuko-chan removed the cover, there were several things on each platter.

Putting compartments in the platter to serve multiple things per dish a novel idea.

Fufufu, isnt it amazing? Lets see, these are [Hamburgers], this is [Naporitan], and these are [Fried Prawns]! These long narrow things are [French Fries], this thing with a flag in it is an [Omelet with Rice Filling]! The soup is [Corn Portage]. Ah, right right. This green drink is called [Ice Cream Soda]! Its a drink, but its also a dessert, the white stuff on the top is a delicious cold food called [Vanilla Ice Cream]! Try and drink it before it melts okay? [1]

Hearing Rokuko-chans explanation, I immediately readied my fork.

[Hamburger], un, its meat. Its not a steak, but its a meat dish. Moreover, its beef? Theres even a superb mushroom sauce over it.

[Naporitan], its a pasta. It looks like theres tomato sauce on it? It leaves a distinct sensation on your tongue.

[Fried Prawns] I wonder if this is sea food? Just how did they cook this? A dish from another world

[French Fries], theyre obviously potatoes. I think Mm, the crispiness feels great. It feels the same as the [Fried Prawns]. Potatoes are easily obtainable, so it could be cooked so long as you knew the method to cook it.

[Omelet Filled with Rice] seems to be eaten with a spoon. Some tiny grains spilled out of it covered with tomato sauce and eggs corn? Hmm, its not bad. But whats the flag for?

[Corn Portage] is sweet and warm, the flavor is relieving. Its the high point.

The salad is also pretty good Ah, but this [Mayonnaise] is quite a thing.

We dont need to eat to begin with so we dont need to forcibly eat Ah, Chloe is eating it?

Yes, Haku-sama. Hooh, [Mayonnaise], this is can I have yours if you dont want it?

I didnt say that I wouldnt eat it you know?

Hohoh, [Mayonnaise] is wonderful. Its taste harmonizes when eaten with vegetables, so thats the condition? Chloe seems to have liked it too, I wonder if I could get some of this?

However, even if you purchased these dishes with DP, you still need to arrange each food after getting them. It could be called time consuming, but it is much easier than starting from nothing and needing to make it from scratch. My assessment for it this time is that its not appropriate to score it as a dish made by DP. In that case, considering the time needed for each dish un, its probably already worth a gold coin. I dont even have a rough idea of how much time is needed for another worlds cuisine in the first place though.

The stuff left in the corner is [Pudding]! Its a very tasty dessert with a cherry and cream decorating it!

Hmm, this is also a dessert? Come to think of it, cream is a luxury good that is occasionally made at the imperial capitals farms. The cherry I wonder where its produced?

Wakoku I think?

Wakoku? Thats far to the east To reproduce it, there would be quite a shipping expense Yeah, so an A-Rank adventurer like myself is directly delivering the ingredient through goodwill, thats the [Setting]. Things time stop in [Storage] after all.

But it feels like a gold coin might be cheap after taking that into account.

Ah, this [Pudding] is delicious. Its so sweet and bouncy, like its trying to melt in your mouth ah, that was dangerous. I almost forgot myself.

And then theres the [Ice Cream Soda]. I unintentionally kept it at a distance because of its potion-like green tint, but Rokuko-chan recommended it, so I have no choice but to drink it.

Its a drink that combines [Melon Soda] and [Vanilla Ice Cream] to become a dessert is what I was told, but what in the world is this thing? Oh, theres a cherry on this too.

First Ill try drinking the [Melon Soda] with the straw, itadakimasu!?

Sweet! And theres a tingling sensation inside my mouth! And its so sweet! What kind of violent beverage is this!?

The drink has that tingling sensation like some kind of sake. But since its cold it feels a lot stronger. And then theres the melon flavor that wafts into your nose, and its so sweet. This [Melon Soda] hits with quite a punch!

Please try to eat the [Vanilla Ice Cream] thats on top too, Haku Ane-sama. Its started to melt a little, but it tastes the best you know?

O-okay

Using the long and slender spoon that seems to have been added exclusively for this glass, I scooped up a little of the [Vanilla Ice Cream].

When it entered my mouth, it felt very cold. Then, I tasted a sweetness that exceeded the [Melon Soda].

However, it tenderized like it was fresh snow because of the heat of my mouth, spreading out as it melted.

After the [Vanilla Ice Cream] melted, its sweet savoriness spread through my mouth. The dairy texture felt amazing

Ane-sama, did it suit your tastes?

Yeah, very much so.

The motion of the [Melon Soda], the stillness of the [Vanilla Ice Cream] a drink with opposite extremes, no, this dessert, I was toyed with by it.

In the end, the melted [Vanilla Ice Cream] and [Melon Soda] mixed together it feels like I caught a glimpse at the truth of this world.

A gold coin for these? Too cheap.
