「Now then, Amelisama"s party is fine with one room. What will do you about breakfast?」
「Aah, we don"t need it since we"re going to eat at the food stalls.」
「Understood. We will lead you to your room, please wait a moment.」
Right now, we were standing in front of the reception desk at a certain inn.
It seemed like a good inn, and we were all relieved.
Actually, just a moment ago, Amelia said that she was hungry, and we entered a nearby restaurant-like shop.
The manager was a cat-type beastmen, perhaps the breed was a calico cat.
It was a trendy British style shop that was similar to that of a coffee shop.
Other than things that beastmen can eat like silver vine, there was also food and there were also customers who seemed to be adventurers as well.
It seems that there were more and more customers coming in.
Amelia, who ate more than me, got along well with that manager as she ordered various things, and it was this place that the manager recommended when we tried asking them.
It seems that, the manager also knew about the rumor that I had intentionally spread around town, and she referred it with the fact that Amelia was a high elf in mind, but just like the Adventurer Guild, there were a lot of buildings of the beastmen where the exterior and interior were completely different, even though the exterior wasn"t bad, the interior and the service was the worst…it seems that these types of things were common.
Maa, it seems that there were proper shops as well, the manager"s recommended inn, the "Ten Thousand Cranes", seemed to be inn where the first floor served as an izakaya, and the bird beastman innkeeper with the sloping shoulders was a good person.
TN: an izakaya is a type of j.a.panese pub or tavern where you can drink as well as order food to eat
He wasn"t really afraid of Yoru who was feared by beastmen either, and even treated Amelia properly.
「Nice to meet you, I"m Haru. I"ll guide you to your room.」
Coming out from behind the sloping-shouldered innkeeper was our guide, a cute human girl with a snaggletooth.
Moreover, her hair was black, and if her eyes were not green but black, she would be a j.a.panese person.
Her name was j.a.panese-ish too.
「Hey, she"s the princess of the elves, you know!?」
Haru, who enthusiastically gave a friendly greeting, was chided by the fl.u.s.tered sloping-shouldered innkeeper.
Amelia stopped the innkeeper, who was about to bow his head.
「We have yet to greet the beastman king, and we are currently traveling incognito. There"s no need to go out of your way to welcome us.」
「But….」
Amelia gave a suggestion to the innkeeper who looked unconvinced.
「Then, recommend some restaurants to me, just that is fine.」
「Yes, then let me make a list of a few places and I"ll have it sent up to your room.」
Amelia nodded, and urged Haru.
Haru changed completely from how she was just now and guided us with a serious look on her face.
「Well then, we"ve arrived.」
As Haru showed us the dining hall and various other places, she stopped in front of a large, exceptionally designed room.
「…this is the room for Amelisama"s group. If by any chance something happens, the emergency exit is this way. If you need anything, ring the bell over there.」
The room that we were guided to was, most likely, the safest room in this inn, and furthermore, it was clean.
「Ah, the walls are perfectly soundproof, so you can enjoy the night without worries–.」
Leaving those words behind, Haru left.
This girl, even though she earnestly corrected herself and was polite in front of the sloping-shouldered innkeeper, she already went back to normal, how dislikable.
She didn"t reflect at all.
『…Master-dono, I am a monster that can read the atmosphere, so I will leave the room at night, so don"t worry. Ah, I won"t eavesdrop telepathically either.』
「Yoru, you think I would do those kinds of things to Amelia?」
『No, but there"s the saying that one is not a man if one does not eat the meal before them.』
「Where did you learn that.」
『Demon king-sama said it!』
「My impression of the demon king that I have yet to meet had just fallen.」
As the two of us were talking while I was cuddling Yoru, Amelia suddenly appeared right in front of me.
「What are the two of you doing so sneakily?」
「『Nothing.』」
We responded at the same time and when we did so so perfectly in sync that even synchronized swimmers would be surprised, Amelia have a hmph, and the look on her face told us that she didn"t believe us, but she didn"t pursue it.
Yoru and I have a sigh of relief.
Next time, let"s have these kinds of conversations telepathically.
Coming to such a decision, I joined Amelia who started unpacking the small bit of luggage that we had and sorted them out.
「…I don"t mind being eaten if it"s Akira.」
I did not know that Amelia, who was next to me, had muttered that.
「Is it tasty, Amelia?」
「Nn!」
I felt the corners of my mouth curling up, when I saw Amelia stuffing her cheeks with food.
After that, she hummed with happiness and the fatigue from the long trip was cured.
Just in case, I checked the entire room, every nook and cranny, and wanted to see if they had planted anything with magic, but there was nothing.
Because there had been many times snce coming here where I was close to death and was almost killed, I may have become too sensitive about it.
Maa, normally, it"s necessary to be this cautious….
「Now then, what should I do about that guildmaster"s troublesome skill.」
