Black Haired King

"This is the wind pavilion where I'm staying!

Ares proudly introduces herself to the accommodation she is staying in, with her chest stretched out. Anything, it's been a month since Ares came here, but this inn, the general says, is sweet, the food is delicious, and the price is cheap. It does smell good from the inn.

"Come on, let's go in!

I was prompted by Ares to enter the wind chime pavilion. When we get inside.

"Welcome... Oh, Ares, welcome back."

And a woman who supposedly is the general here looks at Ares and waves her hand pretentiously. A blonde with wavy shoulders and an atmosphere of kindness. Most importantly, my eyes go to my chest so big that I think it looks heavy.

"Oh, I thought Ares told you not to! I thought you said I was a man!

Ares overreacts to the word "Ares" by the general. Well, you're a man, but you don't like to put it on. But the general has a grin without looking like she cared about it.

"Huh, already, Mr. Mel... Mr. Mel. It's like he wants to stay today, is the room available?

And Ares introduced me to him, even though I bumped into him.

"Oh, it's so rare to have dark hair. Can I touch it?

... Huh? I had no idea what they were talking about at first. I don't know if I can touch it because I have dark hair, because it's the first time I've been told.

"Oh, uh, yes. It's okay."

I replied without understanding why. Mr. Mel laughs Ugh, but he comes over to me and strokes his head.

... It's been a long time since I've been able to stroke your head. Was it the last time you were caressed by your mother? I can be caressed but still be caressed. Then a few minutes later.

"Ugh, thank you"

and Mel thanked him and went to the reception. I didn't know why you stroked my hair, but I was happy to be stroked unexpectedly. He said I thought so with my own hands touching where I was stroked.

"... what are you deluded about? He's got a husband and a kid."

and Ares says so in a grumpy voice. I don't know why you're so grumpy, but, well, I guess that's what Ares looked like. I didn't mean to be deluded.

"So how many nights are you staying?

That's what Mel asks when me and Ares go to the reception. What shall I do? I just want to get out of here, but I want to buy everything I need. I can't believe it.

"In three days, please"

"What!?

When I say the date, Ares shouts a surprise for some reason.

"Redius, are you leaving here in three days?

"Hmm? Yeah, I don't have anything in particular for you here. I plan to leave when I get all the stuff I need in this city. What's wrong with you?

"Yes, no, nothing"

It's not like it's obvious, but I'm afraid I'll have to finish the reception. This inn comes in the morning and comes with hot water to wipe your body. Two small silver coins a day. That's cheap, for sure. A regular inn would take this double.

I give out one silver coin and one small silver coin in three days. Then they asked me to write my name on the roster, so I write my name.

"Oh well, that's a beautiful letter."

Couscous laughs and is praised by Mr. Mel. Don't get kind of crazy when this guy compliments you. I'm happy, but I'm not different.

"Yes, Mr. Redius. This is the key to the room. It's upstairs, up the stairs, right in the room. May, show the customers around!

When Mr. Mel called someone, he said from behind the reception, "Huh!" I hear a reply. And a cute little girl with a little face. Is this Mel's daughter? She's a pretty blonde girl just like Mr. Mel. A little younger than me, I guess.

"Your brother's staying? The place is 2-1. Over here."

May will guide me. Ares follows me, too. Apparently Ares is upstairs too.

"This is where your brother stays. Mr. Ares is next door."

Oh, my God, the next room was Ares'. I don't know if he was available occasionally, or if he put me next door because I and Ares knew each other.

"Breakfast is from 6: 00 to 9: 00 in the morning, and dinner at night is from 6: 00 to 11: 00 in the evening, so if you want to eat, show your father the keys to the room in the dining room next to the reception. Pay your mother for dinner when you go back to your room. Hot water only comes in once a day, and from now on, it will be one copper coin."

and May will explain about the inn. Is Mel's husband and Mae's father doing the dining room? Look forward to it because it's delicious! May said and went down.

"Redius, let's meet in the dining room in an hour. So I'd like to apologize, and I'd like to talk to you a little bit."

says Ares. I appreciate the luxury, and I would like to ask you a few questions about the area, so I will reply that I understand. Ares enters the room with a happy smile on the words.

... You got me kicked for a second. Ha, how many guys are thrilled with me? When I shook my head and misled, I noticed something.

... that I left my lopo in the hood. Don't fall asleep in his hood. I forgot because it doesn't move at all.

I'll hurry down. There was a figure of Mel at the reception, so this inn asks if the animals are okay.

"Animals? What kind of child are you?

I was asked, so I take the lopo out of the hood. When I hold it from around the base of my forefoot, it just wakes up or "gu" rings. Look at that lopo in your arms, Mr. Mel.

"Oh, that's cute. Yeah, I'm fine with this size. Because if it doesn't bother other customers and doesn't even contaminate the room, it's okay to let them go"

Oh, that helped. When it comes to rice, they say it would be nice to have extra vegetables. Lopo also rings in the wind saying he figured it out, so tell him it's okay.

And when you get into the room,

"Oh, that's a beautiful room."

"Gu."

In a room with one bed, one desk and one chair at a time, a box to pack, but enough room for one adult to rest. It has only one window, from which you can see the streets.

Lopo, on the bed, is jumping somewhat happily. Well, I don't use the bed now, so I don't mind.

"Phew, you're kind of tired on day one"

A lot has happened in a few hours since you left Mr. Mistrea's place around noon. When you leave the woods, you knock down the bandits, and when you go to the guild, you knock down the adventurers.

Do you have time to take care of your sword? I put the sword on my hips on my desk and take the cloth out of my backpack.

Then I was taking care of my sword until Ares came to get me.

"... brunette."

"What's wrong, Mother?

"Hmm? Ugh, nothing. I just remembered the old days. May, go help your father."

"Huh!
