”You only drank one cup?”
”That stuff tastes the same from second cup onward.”
”Haha.”
”The meat yesterday was good.”
”Yes. It was delicious. For that mouthful.”
”Yeah.”
The two gulped down their tea and put down the expensive-looking cups.
A quiet time passed for a while.
”Alright, let's head back.”
”Yes, let's.”

”Manager, I'm grateful for your thorough service last night.”
”Well well, Arios-sama. And I see you're with Lecan-sama. You shouldn't have troubled yourself coming all the way here, we're all at your beck and call. This is the sales money and appraisal result for the item you brought last night.”
Arios glanced at the appraisal result and handed it to Lecan.
”Thank you. We were told to stay at <Summit Honors Mansion> once we started exploring floor 100 down, and it's clear how wonderful of an establishment it is. Both the facilities and cooking, there's absolutely nothing to complain about.”
”It's an honor.”
Lecan noticed one thing as he read the appraisal result.
(Hm?)
(It's got no Depth entry.)
(What's going on?)
”By the way, there's no rule that forbids us from staying at other lodgings beside this, is there?”
”Of course not. This establishment exists only to serve its guests. You honored guests are at liberty to choose how you plan to make use of our service or not.”
”That's good to hear. We may have to come to other inns during our exploration. So there may be times where we wouldn't come back here without contacting you first, no issue with that I take it?”
”Understood.”
”We might decide to stay at other inns if we take fancy.”
”Please feel free to return to our establishment anytime you wish. But we would be grateful if you could inform where we could find your lodging for if we need to contact you.”
”Oh we don't know where it'll be yet either, we'll get back to you the next time we're here.”
”Understood. We bid you farewell.”
The manager seemed fully confident that Arios and Lecan would go back to <Summit Honors Mansion> right away, he stopped pressing for their destination.
Afterward, the two went to floor 100 and fought a battle before going back to <Rafin's Rock Terrace Inn>.
”Welcome... Ooh? Arios? Lecan too? What's wrong. Didja forgot something?”
”We're back. How many days do we have left in our last booking again?”
”Ou? Hang on. Gotta check the guestbook. Hrm. You got till the ninth of month two.”
”Then we're booking additional 40 days.”
”Ooh?”
”Oh my, Arios-chan. You're back.”
”Yes. We'll be in your care once again.”
”Nell.”
”Yes, Lecan. What can I help you?”
”Get me loads of good veggie stuff for dinner tonight.”
”Sure sure. Just leave it to me.”
”Arios. We're taking a seven day break starting tomorrow.”
”Please say that again.”
”Take a seven day break. Rest your body and mind. We'll get back to dungeon diving right after.”
