Chapter 23: INN

- I, Hiragi Seiichi was not liked by creatures on Earth.

Humans, of course, but even the dogs and cats (didnt like me).

If I got close to cats or dogs, they would threaten me with erect hair, or bark like crazy. Most likely, it was because of my smell.. I wanted to think it was that.

But, such a reaction was fine until then, but when I got close and they fainted I still felt like crying a bit remembering. I even killed a Clever monkey with my odor.

Well right now Saria is following me happily, in short I was marked as someone to be hated by animals in the past. Of course I thought of Kenji and the guys as friends, they didnt hate me Un, thats what I want to believe.

Well, I could continue with how hated I was but, I basically loved cats and dogs. And I wanted to take a walk with them.

But because of that, I didnt have a pet in house, so how could I dream that this request was to walk a dog around?

Just, I wonder why. The dream of walking a dog being realised, doesnt make me happy.

Uooooooooooooh!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

- Because, my idea of walking a dog is a bit different.

Right now, by a 5m large white dog By Milk-chan, I am being chased at full throttle.

Are? Weird. Walking a dog means, following the dog thats bind by a collar, no? what remains of that heartwarming scene? Me sprinting at my best? I wonder when the concept of a walk has changed radically without me knowing it?

After all, its weird!

Uoooooooon!

Being chased by a dog is certainly not a walk! Furthermore, the one being chased is me!

Whatsmore Milk-chan cries are not of a dog! Theyre a wolfs!

Is Milk-chan really a dog!?

It doesnt stop running even if said so. If I stop my legs It will eat me! I got that feeling.

By the way, the place I am sprinting desperately right now is Adrianna-sans garden, thats why I am not going at max in order to avoid destroying the place.

If I ran without thinking in Adriana-sans garden, by now the garden would be full of craters.

Like this, I keep running, not forgetting to continue holding my hood so that it does not fall off.

The bustling movement, I continue to be earnestly pursued by Milk-chan while Altria-san is watching.

That guy Seiichi Amazing speed

Thats your impression in this situation!?

Dont you have a different impression!?

Thats true You have endurance as well

I was an idiot for having expectations!

Shit! Can you say something about what to do in this situation.

Well, Altria-san is my test supervisor, so I know I cant ask for help.

Gururururu Uon!

When I was desperately running away while worrying about the garden, Milk-chan suddenly jumped.

Uooo!?

I managed to avoid it by twisting my body, but I wonder why Milk-chan jumped at me?

I dont want to think about it, Milk-chan.. It cant be, do you want to kill me?

Gururururu

Waa Its intimidating me

Her eyes are bloodshot. Shes growli~ing. Scary~y.

However, because I dodged her previous attack, shes looking at me while maintaining distance.

Heck, is Milk-chan really a dog? Thats absolutely wrong, no?

Since such a thought crossed my mind, I activate [Advanced Appraisal] on Milk-chan.

Snow Wolf Lv: 180

I knew it was a woooooooooolf!

Adrianna-san you liar! Isnt it completely a wolf! Whats more, with a high level!

Since walking a wolf is outside my predictions, I ask help from Altria-san.

Altria-san, Milk-chan is not a dog you know!? Its a wolf!

I can see that

You knew it!?

Of course. To begin with, does it matters whether Milk-chan is a dog or a wolf? Its the same dog family

Its completely different! Its attacking me like crazy! In the first place, isnt it unreasonable to walk a wolf!?

It isnt impossible. And arent you doing it properly?

its a different from the walk that I know!

Try your best. Anything is experience

Quite the convenient words!

The word experience I think is too cunning. Especially for beginners.

The result of asking for help, a decent answer did not come back.

Oh I forgot, in the case you get eaten, protect your head

At that time, help me!

To my tsukkomi, Altria-san wears a charming small devil-ish smile.

Wow so cute.

At first she didnt smile at all, so like this that she smiled honestly make me happy. (TL: I see. You sure you wont make the receptionist Eris-sama your second heroine? This Maso MC)

As I was having such a thought looking at Altria-san, Milk-chan who was looking at me took the chance and jumped at me,

Guruu~on!

Wah!?

Since she jumped so naturally, I was a second late to react, but I still managed to dodge somehow.

Well, even if it hit me its unlikely that it will do any damage butWhen you are avoiding things, make sure to avoid them well. I will be in trouble if I get in a pinch and my body wont react.

The next stage of chasing, is the combat

There is not a trace of the walk I know. Walk going wherever. I think this killer walk should not exist.

Moreover, this unfair battle where I am caught dodging in a one-side tag game. If I attacked Milk-chan Lets stop thinking about it. What happens after that, everyone will be happy if they dont know it.(TL: This is about the Slime trauma.)

As I had an stiff expression, with cold sweat flowing out, Adrianna-san came to the garden.

Seiichi-san and Milk-chan sure are having fun!

You are joking!

Do you see this situation as fun!? You should go to the ophthalmology!. Ah this is another world. There is no ophthalmology

Altria-chan, I brewed tea, want some?

Oh, I will help myself

It cant be Tea Time!?

Even though I am desperate here!

I couldnt do my dreamed walk! And the collar you gave me at the start is useless!

Daa ah ah ah! If it come to this Ill be your opponent with my all! Come, Milk-chan!

Gururururu U~ooon~tsu!

I threw away the collar that was in my hand, and spread my hands as if to accept Milk-chan.

Then, while I was like that, milk-chan jumped at me.

Huh, huh, huh!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Milk-chan and I were lying down in Adrianas house garden.

I who became desperate, played with Milk-chan at my best. Thats why; I ignored the request to walk her.

Being chased by Milk-chan, dodging or parring her attacks, without realizing it, the sky turned red.

Thinking it really carefully, I dont think this was a game at all between I and Milk-chan. Because it was me that is proud of my monstrous stats, I could treat it like a game, but normal people would die.

But, as a result of the exchange between I and milk-chan that from the perspective of others would be life threatening, surprisingly, in my heart appeared a feeling of having fun.

Of course it is not an M constitution, it was like the freshness after youve genuinely enjoyed sport.

Oioi Seiichi, you, what type of physical strength do you have

Truly, When I made the request, I didnt think that you could stand toe to toe with Milk-chan

Se,seriously.. Furthermore, thats not something that Adrianna-san should say.

To begin with. I got confidence in my stamina..

I somehow answered it even while breathing errantly.

No, even so its weird . Milk-chan attacks, you have been parrying them?

Survival instinct had been Fully activated

How desperate were you.

You girls be prepared! Thats what I thought, but they didnt come from my mouth.

Whatsmore, I was so impatient in order to not let my status know. Being appraised is a direct OUT. Such stats were no good.

But exactly by being so desesperate, I was able to cheat Altria-san

Well, its fine, thanks to Seiichi-san, a Milk-chan enjoyed it so much

So said Adrianna-san with a smile.

She sends such a smile that is filled with poison,and Milk-chan that seemed to recover, approached me.

Then, she licked my face thoroughly.

Uwa~tsupu! Wai-! (TL: This is Seiichi trying to said wait while having his whole face licked by a 5 meter wolf)

It was surprising to be licked suddenly in the face, but I somehow held the hood that was about to come off.

My, my! To Milk-chan to open her heart to someone other than myself..

Looking at me with a face sticky with drool, Adriana-san spilled those words.

Please wait a minute. Then, what about the people who had been taking care of Milk-chan until now ?

They did not open her heart at all. All the people didnt come the next day. So I wonder if they got hurt?

No wonder! I think they definitely got hurt!

Dead or serious injuries didnt come out, its all right!

No, no No, no! Please give more thought about the employees!

They were betting their life!

While feeling sympathy to the people that I do not know the face, the fact that I have been liked by the dangerous Milk-chan gave me a sense of accomplishment in secret.

Depending of the request and the effort, both the sense of accomplishment and a sense of fulfillment will be different

I, realising something obvious, asked the thought I just had.

Thinking about it Where did Milk-chan and Adrianna-san meet?

Milk-chan is strong and high level. Thats why, it seems strange that Adrianna-san who is a normal person to have her in this place as a pet.

To my question, Adrianna-san told me the answer with a smile.

It isnt that big of a story. Due to my husbands work we went to a certain snow country. While we were in that country, I met the puppy Milk-chan wounded She didnt have parents, so after treating her injuries we took her back.

Hee

The being called monsters, if they are touched by human kindness they can befriend humans.

This fact,I wonder if is the Bellfille teachings that Altria-san was talking about?

Well, even if it isnt, it just worked in reality.

Then, with this my request is done Now, to get the reward

From her purse, Adrianna-san passed me a heavy bag, I used both my hands to receive the gab feeling its weight and answered fast.

Eh?

It may be rude, but I instinctively checked the inside of the bag, and muttered that.

Thats because, a large amount of silver and copper coins are packed in the bag.

Th, This is

Like I said, the reward, take it please

Eeeeeh!? Isnt it too much!?

Is fine, this. Furthermore, Seiichi-san worked hard this time. My evaluation was very good, so please take this

I intended to return the large amount of money, but Adrianna-san refused it.

Iya, certainly I worked hardBut isnt it a bit too much? Are there around 90 coins of both silver and copper?

As I was confused by the ridiculous amount, Altria-san said to me.

Its a reward given by the customer. Dont you think that rejecting it is rude? So take it

If, if you say so

As Altria-san said so, and its rude to return it, I will obediently receive the reward.

Fufufu. Being obedient is nice. In addition, when I do the request again, at that time can I count on you?

AhYes!

In response to my answer, Adriana-san was all smiles.

Upon exiting from Adrianna-san house, we headed to the orphanage in order to go to pick Saria.

I am glad Seiichi. Didnt you just make one customer

A customer?

Thats right, For a adventurer who did a good job, its possible to the customer to appoint it personally. By that way of making a relation of mutual trust, its possible to get a stable income. Thats why the customers are an important stat of a first class adventurer

Indeed

The things that Altria-san said are really a great help. Altria-san also said that to get a daily income, it is important to do other works besides being a adventurer,

Then, we arrived but

While having such an exchange, we reached in front of the orphanage.

Then, Altria-san entered the church without hesitation.

When she entered and called, the ones that appeared are the director of the orphanage Claire-san and the apron wearing Saria.

Ah, Seiichi!

Ara Altria-san. Is Seiichi-sans job done?

Yes, it is finished.Then, we came to get Saria but How was Saria?

Fuu

To Altria-san question, for some reason Claire-san closed her eyes.

That look, as if saying Such a stupid question I wonder why.

Then-

Perfect! Excellent! Too excellent!

To the suddenly high tension Altria-san and I were stunned.

The snacks she made for the children were delicious, she chose the best to position to see and made sure the children didnt get hurt when I was cleaning. She made sure to scold the children if they did bad things and she is very popular with the children!

To make a point to Claire-san, a lot of children came from inside the church.

Saria onee-chan play with me!

Ah, unfair! This time play with me!

Look look! A drawing I made!

Saria-oneechan toileeet!

The children began to flock to Saria as soon as they come.

AmazingShe is truly popular. To my side Altria-san was stunned. Furthermore, Saria is not a toilet.

To us two that were surprised in front of our eyes Saria said to the children.

Koraaa! There are visitors you know? First is greetings no?

While saying with a gesture like a mother, the children said cheerfully hello to us, how do I say it she seem like a mother or a teacher of the nursery school and kindergarten.

And, sorry, for today I have to say byebye to all of you

Eeeeeeeeeh!

At Saria voice the children raise a sad voice.

Its fine! I will come play againne?

To those words the children made a dissatisfied face but somehow understood.

Its fine! I will ask again for Saria in the next request!

Then, Claire-san said so to the children. It seems that somehow Saria managed to make a customer too.

Then Claire gave a small bag of funds like Adrianna-san gave me.

Only, this is not such a big bag like mine, it was large enough to fit in one hand.

This is the work reward,. Sorry, I wanted to give you more but this

Its fine! I got to meet everyone and played with all of them! There is no better reward than that

Claire-san was thrilled from Saria words. We did not leave for a while,and that showed the child-like appearance of Saria. But, well I think I have a childish side as well.

Thank you Saria-chan! And, when I put a request again can you take it again?

Of course!

When Saria answered cheerfully to the words of Claire-san, we left the orphanage.

Look, this is the reward for demolishing the building

When we return to the guild surrounded in chaos, Eris-san was giving the reward to Altria-san.

As expected, the more dangerous the job, the better the money you receive, I am lucky to have received so much money from Adrianna-san no matter how dangerous that was.

Hahahahahahaha! The first request It seems you did it well!

Thank you for your work

Eris-san and Gassur-san, came to the place we were. That bastard Gassur, is he working properly?

When it comes to adventurers, the hunting type are more famous because of the high reward. But, this time you guys took one of the chores as your job. So did you get this times request?

Yes

Un!

To Gassurs unexpectedly serious words, Saria and I answer readily.

It can be an ordinary work, but its still admirable. Thinking it is useless because it is ordinary is bad No matter what the job you got is its very important to do it seriously.

To our immediate answers Gassur-san opened his eyes for a second surprised, before speaking with a gentle smile.

I see! If you got it is fine! My muscles are happy!

As always I dont get it.

Even though we finally got a rare serious atmosphere, in the end we returned as always.

As I was surprised by Gassur, Eris-san was passing me and Saria a palm sized white plate.

This is, a provisional Guild card, for the people that are not fully registered. Though it is provisional, it works as an ID card, so please dont lose it, ok? (TL: They are registered but I think the author know well the pain in the ass that are memberships, you are not properly a member until you dont get the card so thats what Eris-sama means the register is done)

Looking at the white plate I received, in the front Provisional Guild Card is written in simple style..

Then, now that your chore quest is done, how about tomorrow you start with a collection quest?

AaAhh

N? What happened?

After answering to Gassur words, I realized one thing.

We, dont have a place to stay

So its like that So want to come to my place then?

Eh?

Its a first class Inn with reasonable price, security is good, and the food is delicious

Lets stay there

We accepted Altria-san invitation immediately. Its not because the delicious food its not! Ah, its the result of thinking about safety!

While thinking such a thing, Eris-san and Gassur-san ere looking at Altria-san, with eyes wide opened, Why?

Nja, Then lets go fast. I am tired

Eh? Ahplease wait a bit!

While thinking , I was tilting my neck in doubt, when Altria-san went out of the guild.

If we get separated here then we dont know where is the inn, so I and Saria exchanged greetings with Eris-san and co. and dashed after Altria-san.

Eris-kun. Altria-kun invited them to the same inn

Y,yes If it is the same Altria-san then she would have them introduced to an inn, in another place Did something happen?

UmuWell, this is going in a good direction. My muscles are happy

Well, lets work

Are? Lets?

We had no way of knowing it, that such such an exchange occurred after leaving the guild.

Here is the inn I stay at.

Oh

The place we were lead to was an inn, which has a tag with Tree of Peace written.

It doesnt look flashy, and is in a good position the distance to the guild is perfect,

Go rent a room, hurry up

Ah, yes.

When we enter the inn, its very lively inside.

Its not very wide, but it got the just perfect feeling for a lot of reasons.

As we were looking the surroundings, a lone woman approached us.

Ara? Welcome back, Al-chan

Oh?

Al, Al-chan? I wonder if is a nickname?

While we were tilting our necks from the woman words, she seemed to notice Saria and me.

Un? And these people are?

These are rookies that I was the supervisor of the exam. Prepare a room for this two

Maa, that Al-chan. Right now we are full and only have just one two-person room is that fine?

Even thought sharing a room with a girl is bad in many ways, When we travelled to Telvier we slept together all the time, so I dont really care.

Thats why, Saria and I express or agreement.

Its not a problem

I am okay!

Then how many days are you gonna stay?

Lets see For the time being rent it us for a month

I understand, then, that will be 50 silver coins, is that fine?

At this time, one month is fine, it seems there is not really any difference in the moon based month here and the earth. Wait, wasnt 10 silver coins enough to live for a year according to gods knowledge? 50 silver coins should let me live for around 5 years.

Its the knowledge got from something in the past? (TL: Let me explain. This idiot here is in the IMPERIAL CAPITAL in any other manga or novel the source of corruption and place from nobles, so its common sense that in the capital everything is more expensive,just pick any game, novel, manga, and in the capital the inn is always more expensive.)

Anyway, since I am completely fine financially, I take 50 silver coins from the item box.

Ah, its completely fine. Here

Yes, I received it. Ah, my name is Fina. This place is managed by my husband, daughter and me us three. Its a pleasure?

I am called Seiichi. Etto Its a pleasure to meet you

I am Saria desu! Please take care of me

Seiichi-Kun and Saria-chan. Then lets me explain the inn briefly. There are 3 meals a day. The time is not fixed, When you are hungry, my husband will make a meal, the dining room is empty So lets have you meet everyone. Darling! Can you come here for a moment!?

The husband I wonder what type of person he will be? A bearded man or maybe an ossan?

Although my concept is biased, that image is strong in my mind.

Then, Fina-san, is a very beautiful woman, Un?.. I wonder if inn keepers being beautiful is common sense?

Either way, at this point I completely imaginated Fina-san husband as a total Macho.

However, my imagination was shattered in an instant.

Did you call?

Ah,there you come, this two are the ones that will be stopping at our inn for a while

I see I(boku) am the one in charge of the meals Lyne. Pleased to meet you?

Eh? AhYes. Etto I am Seiichi

I am Saria!

The Husband that Fina-san introduced Its a refreshing ikemen.

Wearing an apron, he was the very image of an ikemen in earth.

Who was it? That decide that the inn husband was an ossan? Isnt Lyne-san a complete ikemen?

Seiichi-kun and Saria-chan too, when you are hungry do tell me ok? By the way, 3 meals are included but if you want a four you got to pay it. Be careful ok?

I see. I am happy being able to eat anytime I want.

Heck, everything Lyne-san do is refreshing.Ikemen are unfair.

Yes yes, there is no bath, but if you want to clean yourself with a towel ask me, the same with cleaning and washing clothes, tell me and I will do it

As I was getting jealous of ikemen on my own, Fina-san said so. (TL: just look at a fucking mirror!)

Thats amazingly inconvenient. But, I got the Life magic wash so I should be fine.

Then, here. The room keys. When you go out please give them to me. Now my daughter will lead you

Fina-san give me the key, a 301 was written it.

The room next to mine

So, Altria-san said in a mutter.

Well, if you had any trouble come to my room

Thank you so much!

Un, Altria-san is a good person.

As I was impressed by Altria-san kindness, a single girl came from the back of the inn.

This child is our daughter, Mary

The new visitors yes!? Best regards!

I am Seiichi. Regards

I am Saria! Nice to meet you.

Mary has green hair tied in a pony tail and red eyes. As expected from Lyme-san and Fina-san child she is an amazing bishoujo.

Age wise she seems to be like me but its true, a child born from a marriage between a pretty man and a pretty woman, will be pretty as well.

Then follow me! I will lead you

When we are following Mary, Mary stops suddenly, and pointed to a certain location.

This is the dining hall. Dad is always working here, when you are hungry come here ok?

Mary continued easily explaining about the inn .

Certainly it is easily explained, I understand everything easily.

There shouldnt be much age difference, but Mary is properly working.

Thinking about such a thing, at some point we stopped at a certain room.

This is Seiichi-san and Saria room

This is

Mom should have explained about the inn, but if you dont understand something feel free to come and ask me! Then, I got more work to do so byebye

Thanks

I say so to Mary, and Mary went away with a smile.

Then, its time I go back to my room and rest. Good night

Ah, good night

Night!

Altria-san gave a yawn as an answer, and went to the room next to ours

Well, lets enter our room as well

Un!

When we open the door with the key, and enter inside a big space open our eyes.

There are properly two beds, there are chairs and tables too.The facilities are pretty good.

Looking around, Saria who was beside me made a big yawn.

Fuaaaa

Whats wrong? Tired?

Well A bit

But we still didnt have a dinner

I dont have the stomach for such a thing

That so then lets sleep?

Un

Saria while rubbing her eyes, went to a bed and fell dramatically to the bed,.

After a while a quiet sleeping breath is heard.

. She was very tired

I certainly had been running around all the day, but Saria too against the kids its tiring in a lot of ways.

I who is worried about Saria that fell dramatically.

Took a blanket and used wash on her before covering her.

HuummSeiichi

Saria who call my name sleep, calmly, but very clearly said it.

SeiichiI love

That murmur, I heard it and went deep red to the ears.

You, go as far as to dream with me

That fact couldnt be more embarrassing, but the feeling of happiness couldnt fill more of my chest.

good night, Saria

I muttered finally, and went to sleep without even having a dinner.
