11 Ralph (1/2)

Coming back to his senses, Kiro finally understood what was happening.

The summoned person is the one who introduced the goods from his former world. Kiro could not believe that he wasn't the first person who has even been summoned to another world even though Kiro himself was transmigrated here by an unknown being. He still could not help to think why such a coincidence happened multiple occurrences. It was as if his former world and this world were connected somehow.

Biding his farewell to the clerk, Kiro went back to the Inn.

In the Wooden Hatch Pub

Alina, who is foolishly standing at the entrance hall of Inn, saw a small figure walking closer to her direction. The person has unusual Inky hair and pitch-black eyes.

It was no other than Kiro, after buying all the necessities he needed Kiro wanted to go back to the Inn and have an early rest.

Seeing Kiro is getting closer, Alina greeted him with her alluring smile.

”How is it Mr. Kiro did you perhaps manage to obtain what you are looking for?”

”Thanks to Alina, I did manage to acquire what I wanted,” Kiro said while giving her thanks to Alina.

”I am glad I could help Mr. Kiro if there's anything else you could always ask, Alina.” Said as she gives a courteous bow to Kiro.

Looking at the beauty who is so polite at him, Kiro could only give an awkward smile. He still wasn't used to it. Even if in his former world etiquette were being practiced, Kiro wasn't used to seeing such a beautiful woman like Alina being polite to him. If It were his previous world, such a woman wouldn't even bat an eye at him.

Staring at Alina, Kiro gives a slight pleasantry as he goes inside the Inn.

***

Inside his room.

Kiro asked the Inn's owner for two buckets of hot water. Kiro was dying to clean his oily body. He badly needs to rub every inch and corner of his body frame, grabbing a rag towel Kiro scrubbing his figure from up to bottom, even if the soap might destroy his hair, Kiro didn't bother and use the soap as a shampoo while rinsing his body with hot water.

After cleansing, Kiro went downstairs to grab lunch.

Inside the pub.

Kiro ordered a light meal, a single serving of tomato soup, and a slice of brown bread. While eating, Kiro couldn't help to recall the tale of the clerk. He decided that after everything settled down, he would visit the Empire that the summoned person built. Glancing around the pub, Kiro saw Alina's figure, she was serving food to the customer at this busy hour, but he saw the hand of a thug trying to touch Alina's butt.

”Please don't touch Alina so casually,” Alina said as she grabbed the hand of the thug. ”Ugh! What are you doing?!” The thug shouted.

Hearing a commotion inside the pub, the Inn owner rushes forward and sees Alina is fiercely grabbing the customer's arm, with his long experience of running a business. The Inn's owner immediately understood what was happening, going to their direction to mend the dispute between the two.

”Please, dear customer, the serving girl is still new from this kind of work. Alina is still not used for being touched by the customer.” The Inner owner said.” She is still young and pure. I hope the customer wouldn't mind her rude behavior.”

”What? Do you know how rude your serving girl is? If she doesn't want to get touched, then she should not accept this kind of job!” The thug shouted hysterically.

”Please, customer calm your anger, you are disturbing the other regulars here.”

”Who cares about them! How will you settle the account for me, huh? If a word comes out that your Inn has a poor serving, do you know how much your business will be affected?” This time the thug is trying to dig deeper. The reputation of the Inn was one of the keyways of surviving in the hospitality industry. Once their reputation has been tarnished, it will be hard to attract more customers.

Usually, In the regular cheap Inn like the Wooden Hatch Pub, any serving girl on that kind of low-class Inn is giving free service for their customers, but the owner of this Inn does not follow the traditional ways. He wanted to run his business respectably.

Hearing those words, the Inn owner flinched for a bit, but he recovered from his fright after seeing the usual glint in the thug's eyes. It was clear that the thug did it on purpose to create a commotion to his Inn.

The Inn owner's eyes could not help to darted, gazing at the thug coldly. ”Please, customer, although my Inn is small and humble, my Inn still has a policy that has to be followed. If you are looking for trouble you have come to the wrong place, please leave this place imminently.”
