Chapter 71: Bathhouse And Inn
We have reached Ca.s.sau just before it got dark. People are already going their way home and started closing their shops. Other than inns, restaurants and bars.
"We"re finally here! Should we go look for an inn?"
"Yeah. I"ll also try to look for Sam and Lina to ask if they have already found us a place."
My vision is still locked in one spot. I can see many thing with my Divine Vision so I don"t have to turn my head.
Yeah, that"s right! I have the greatest vision in the world!
"Excuse me, you have been looking at our bathhouse since a while ago. Are you interested in it? If you are, feel free to come. Although it"s not cheap, we have confidence in our services."
Someone suddenly approached me as I was "looking for Sam". Annoying…
She seems to be an employee at some kind of shops.
"Well, I"m looking for my frie- Guagh!!"
As I was about to tell her that I"m looking for a friend, but Angela punched me in the gut before I finished my sentence.
"Aaaah… so that"s a bathhouse that you keep looking at… what about your friends? Have you find them yet?"
"Ugh- I"m still looking for them. Why don"t you go find an inn for us?"
I asked Angela and the others to find us an inn to stay. But before they answered, the reply come from the bathhouse employee.
"Ah! If you"re looking for a place to stay, you can stay in our place. Although it"s well-known as a bathhouse, it"s actually an inn as well. Not many people know about it so we don"t have many people choosing to stay. But the bathhouse is almost always full."
"I"ll take that offer! We will stay in your establishment for a while!"
"Thank you for choosing our inn. Please come and register first."
The employee ask us to follow her to the bathhouse inn.
"Of course Roy will agree to stay there…"
"I"m sorry! It was instinctive decision!"
"That"s what he says… What about you two?"
"I"m fine with it. I want to soak myself in a bath."
"Me too. It"s not like it will be easy to find an inn at this time."
It was Kayla first who answered Angela and then Sophie followed after.
"Aren"t you two his girlfriends? You two just fine with him looking at other girls?"
"Well, he"s Roy after all. And we can just get two rooms later. One will be Angela and me, then Roy and Sophie will be on the other room. She can just sleep with him to seduce him."
Whoa. Kayla already thought that far. Well, it"s true that I enjoy seeing girls, but I enjoy it more when they are my girlfriends.
"I"m fine with it, but why aren"t you be the one to sleep with him?"
Sophie asked why Kayla didn"t decided to sleep with me.
"I think it"s too soon for me to think about it. I will just leave it to the most experienced one among us. We will still have a lot of time together in the future."
And so we decided to get two room in this inn. I let the girls find the rooms they wanted while I"m continuing my search of Sam and Lina.
Unexpectedly, as I was just activating my Divine Vision again, I saw that both Sam and Lina are also living in this inn. Just right in front of my room. I guess I was too focused to a certain spot that I didn"t notice they are here as well.
"Seems like they are here as well. That means they haven"t found a good place yet."
"You mean the one you"re looking for is staying here? Why did you take so long to find them? I thought you would have found them sooner."
"Angela. Don"t forget that this place is also a bathhouse."
"…pervert."
Angela soon realized the answer on her own after Kayla"s reminder. Sophie was just giggling while watching the whole conversation.
Well, Kayla is right. I enjoyed watching the bath before actually searching for Sam.
"Well, I will go greet them first. Oh wait! They seem to be coming here. I think they"re about to take a bath."
Soon after I said that, we saw Sam going down the stairs and about to go to the bath. Lina also followed behind her. And as soon as Lina saw my face, her face brighten up.
"Master! You"re here!"
"Lina. Been a while. How are you?"
"I"m good! I missed you all these times."
"What are you doing here?"
Sam asked my intention in coming here.
"I"m going to another treasure hunt. And to let my party to remember the area around here. You haven"t found a place yet?"
I asked Sam but the one who answered me is Lina.
"Not yet. I found a good place for you, but our budget is not enough. Sorry to have failed you…"
"No. Don"t be so down. That means you found a good place for me, right? You"re doing great then. As for money, I will take care of that since I"m doing another treasure hunt. Just do your job like usual."
"Yes! Thank you master!"
"You"re going to the bath, right? You can go now and we can talk later. My friends also want to take a bath. You can get to know each other there."
With that, I grabbed all the girls" luggage and carry them to my room. Angela and Kayla can take them after bathing.
After taking the luggage, I also went to take a bath. I didn"t take as long as the girls so when I have done and returned to my room, they are still there having fun.
Of course I can see them.
"Since you will be here, I"ll take a bath with them."
"Sure."
Victoria appear and went to the bath. Angela, Kayla, and Sophie are pleasantly surprised to see her joining.
Hmm? I think they"re looking this way for a moment? Did Victoria told them that I"m peeking?
…that"s the truth and the girls should already get used to it. Other than Sam and Lina who"s still confused about their conversation. They must be thinking that there"s no way I can peek on them.
They left soon after and entered my room. Seems like we will have our discussion here.
"Roy! That"s your summon?"
"Yes. Her name is Victoria. You should have known each other in the bath, right?"
"But I still can"t believe it! I mean, she"s totally like a human!"
"Victoria. Show her your original form."
Then human Victoria turned into blob Victoria. Now Sam can believe it.
"A slime that have the same intellect as human? Amazing."
"Well, more importantly, how"s business?"
This is what I want to know.
"Well, we"re doing well. Although your share is not enough to buy the place that Lina want, it"s still a lot."
"Wait. What kind of house is Lina trying to get me?"
"A huge one! Master, please look outside the window!"
I look over the window and see the building Lina pointed. It"s a big three story building. I can see it behind a shop in front of this inn. No wonder it"s quite expensive.
"Although that building is good, I"m still doubtful to get Master that one."
"Why? I think it"s good. As for the price, I can get a lot after treasure hunting a few times."
"That building is the only one for sale in this city. Other than that, there are only small houses for sale."
"Then why not there?"
"…because it was haunted."
"What?!"
Then I looked again with my Divine Vision activated. Can I see ghosts with this vision?
The answer is yes. I saw a human shaped upper half body floating around in said building.
"Oooh! There really is ghosts over there. About five of them I guess?"
"You can see ghosts?"
"I see. It was an ability you got after defeating All-seeing Eye. So you can see everything in present with your eyes. But you can"t see the past and future."
Kayla calmly appraising my vision while ignoring Angela"s scream. As for Sophie, she"s grabbing my hand. She must be scared
"You"re right. Let"s go over there tomorrow."
"Nope! We will go to the guild and look for a good quest to take. You go on your own!"
"Is that so? Then it will be just me and Victoria."
"No! Nonononononononono! Why should I go with you?"
"Just accept it. Even if you don"t want to, I can just summon you when I"m there."
"…this is the first time I regretted to be your summon."
I want to go check that place as soon as possible. I"m not afraid of ghosts. Although it"s the first time I see ghosts.
"Are you thinking of exorcising the ghost? I think you should do that after you got the money. If the ghosts disappear before you got the money, the price might rise."
"I"ll do that then. By the way, if the place is haunted, why is it so expensive? Shouldn"t it be cheap?"
"I thought so too. When I asked, they say that the building is expensive because of the material to build it. I heard that it was made with better materials than other building. That"s why it"s pretty strong."
"Strong building, huh? I like it already."
"Even though the price has been lowered by more than 50% because of the ghosts, it was still expensive. I think it"s best if you have the money first before you visit the building. They might raise the price if they know you can exorcise ghosts."
"Okay. I will get a lot of treasure and bring it to Sam. Where should I take them to?"
"I rented an office nearby. Just bring them over there. I will also buy a place to be my office after I get more money. That"s why you should bring a lot of treasures."
"Will do. I"ll bring a lot of them tomorrow. Now that you"re so close here, I can bring more than I did before."
"Good. I"ll be waiting."
I guess I won"t leave Ca.s.sau until I bought a place here. That"s fine since I"m not in a hurry.
As for the haunted building… I"ll take care of it after I got the money.
Can aura be used to exorcise ghosts?
