Isekai ni Demodori Shimashita? Chapter 13 (1/2)

Chapter 13 –  The End of a Day

I’m just going to a.s.sume the innkeeper is a middle aged guy.

“I have returned.”

After walking around the grocery store and the stores that deal in travel gear, I ended up finding more spices and herbs than planned, and returned to the inn with a pleased expression.

“Welcome back. Was everything fine?”

The innkeeper poked his head out from the kitchen and welcomed me back.

“Yes. I managed to buy a lot!”

I lifted up my spoils to my face level and told him.

“That’s great. Are you going to take a bath? It’s free right now.”

At his words, I roughly recalled the plans for tonight.

Right now it’s roughly past 8. Is the Prince in his room? I need to bring him the ballpoint pen and notebook. After that, I’ll take a bath and then, ahh, I need to do the laundry as well.

Speaking of which, I’m going commando right now aren’t I. I have to hurry up and wash my underwear.

I should probably talk to the innkeeper about tomorrow’s breakfast as well.

“I’ll be returning to my room first and then dropping in the Prince’s room. I’d like to take up your offer about the bath after that. It won’t take long so I think that 20 minutes-, ahh, a quarter of a koku will do. Also, I’d like to wash my clothes, but would it be all right to do so at the bathing area?”

I think it should be all right, but it would be better to make sure just in case.

“A quarter of a koku, then. There’s no problems with doing your laundry. Do you need soap?”

“If you would be so kind to lend me some, that would be greatly appreciated. And about breakfast tomorrow, would it be all right if I prepared the knights’ portion? I’ve made a promise with the Prince, you see.”

And while I was at it, I asked about the matter of tomorrow’s breakfast as well.

“That’s fine but, will you be fine? I think it’ll be quite a large share.”

The innkeeper looked at me a little worriedly.

“Yes, even if I look like this, cooking is my strong point. I’ve always done the cooking at home, so it will be fine. Also, I’d like to use your ingredients, but of course I’ll pay.”
