Chapter 77 (1/2)
I entered a simple private room with stone walls.
I opened the window and there was a raging river right below me.
Countless stores and people can be seen on the opposite wall.
Pione told me that the night view here is really wonderful.
I can't wait to see it at evening.
However, I was both excited and nervous.
”I'm the only man here...”
I sat up in bed and remembered the scene from earlier.
On the way to the room after finishing the reception, I passed a woman several times wearing only a towel around her naked body.
However, she didn't seem to mind and walked past me as if I didn't exist.
I was suspicious of my own existence for a moment.
”All right, I'll try not to go out alone while I'm at the inn. If I do, I should be safe and sound. That's settled.”
Someone was knocking on the door.
Seconds later, the door opened and Kaede appeared.
”Master, Pione says there is someone she would like to introduce you to.”
”All right.”
”I'll tell her to visit you when you're ready.”
After saying that, Kaede did not close the door.
She seemed to be watching the room from every corner.
”What is it?”
”Nothing, it's just that this place is very different from the women's room.”
”How different is it?”
”Our rooms are very beautiful with flowers on the walls.”
Well, it's not for nothing that they say they give women preferential treatment.
It's the little things that seem to make the difference.
But for me, I prefer a room as simple as this one.
I don't like it when they needlessly decorate something.
”This room is not suitable for my master. I will go ask the receptionist if there is another room.”
”Wait, I don't mind staying here. I'm perfectly happy in this room.”
”If you say so, Master...”
Kaede seemed a bit dissatisfied. But I was able to convince her.
As long as I can sleep comfortably, that's good enough for me.
”Besides, this room has a bathroom, as far as I'm concerned - this place is already a luxury!”
Drinking sake after a hot bath must be delicious.
I am looking forward to it.
Pione took us to a mansion.
Unlike the buildings we saw before, this one is built between the walls.
In addition, it seems to occupy a considerable area of the valley, and goes back and forth across a bridge between either side of it.
It looks like the person she wants to introduce us to lives in the bottom layer of that place.
After descending the narrow stairs, we finally arrived at a large decorated door.
”Stop! Who are you?”
”I don't recognize you, go back where you came from.”
Two men who appeared to be guards stood in front of the door.
Pione took a step and showed her face.
”Pione-Sama, is that you?”
”Yes. And these demons are with me, is Mugen-Sama home right now?”
”A moment, please.”
One of the guards enters through the back.
After a few minutes, the door opened.
”Mugen-Sama is waiting for you in the back. Please proceed.”
”Thank you.”
The mansion where this Mugen person lives is bright even though it is inside the wall.
There are many pictures hanging on the walls, and there are stone statues of men and women everywhere.
At the far gate, a guard stands up and opens the door as soon as he sees us.
”Welcome, Pione.”
”It's been a few months, Mugen-Sama.”
”Um, really?”
In the courtroom, Pione and I bowed to a figure sitting in the chair.
