Lazy Dungeon Master

By the time I got back to the Adventurer Guild, the sun was already completely down.

"... Yes, congratulations on accomplishing your request. Here are eight copper coins for the reward."

A receptionist who stares at me through heartlessness. Copper coins did contain eight pieces.

Yeah, I don't think Nik's treatment would get any worse if he was so impressed.

"And for the lady, I'm adding an extra piece of copper coin as a special reward. My client told me to give it directly to my daughter. Go ahead."

"Heh, good for you, Nik."

"Yes, sir"

Nik receives the offered copper coin over the counter.

Because Nik is small, the receptionist was riding out a lot to give him.

"... your husband, please"

And take it or not, or they'll give me that copper coin.

... No, shouldn't I take that?

"... you can use that to your liking."

"Doh, go ahead."

I'm going to give it to you.... You'll always be in the way if you do this in front of the counter. It's the only way, let's take it here. Can I give it back to Nik as a penny later?

"Okay, thanks"

"N…………"

I will accept the copper coin and give you my head. Nik looks really happy. The dog tail is stuck.

Oh, hey, receptionist, don't stare. I'll be right back.... Oh, yeah.

"I'd like to take an inn around here, but isn't there a good place?

"If it's a slum outside the South Gate, you can secure your bed with four copper coins, I won't guarantee your safety... oh, what can I keep for you lady? You can have it for free."

"No, I won't..."

Hey, what are you up to, you receptionist? I mean, didn't you just stay away from me?

And what are you going to do to Nik?! Maybe you're willing to keep it overnight and do terrible things?!

Shit, I don't know, but the receptionist looks like he should be on guard.

"... one night, a sleeping accommodation with no more than forty copper coins, I hope it's a good meal"

"Around here, then, 'Sleeping Bird Pavilion' would be good: 35 copper coins per night, with one meal"

That sounds pretty good. The receptionist who does a good job is the receptionist's book.

Let me see the map. I just decided to go where I found it.

Originally, an adventurer with eight daily bronze coins wouldn't be able to stay, but the Dungeon Master is a trivial thing for me in the main business. Well, I don't actually condone the funds.

... Ah, let's make some more money from tomorrow. I just signed up for the guild today as soon as I got to town and worked a little bit on that one... oh, but I did the job though it would be so light.

Don't work. I was wondering if I could just get the safety and money...

Even if you are based in a dungeon, it is difficult to take a day trip because you are away for about half a day running at all costs. I think it would take a day to walk away.

I really need one night... and this is the Sleeping Bird Pavilion.

It's a beautiful wooden inn. I appreciate the receptionist's recommendation. I don't know what you're up to.

When I opened the door, my wife was sitting at the reception.

"Excuse me, I've been introduced to you in the Adventurer Guild, are you in a room?

"Yeah? Yeah, I'm free. An introduction to the Alliance? Are you a customer adventurer? We're 35 copper coins a night with rice... hmm? Your child is a slave. What about slaves? If you're in a barn, I'll lend you five copper coins."

"Oh, this guy wants to sleep in the room with me...... do you want an extra charge?

"... there's no extra charge for that. What about the slave rice? Two copper coins, though."

"So then. I'll have one night, please."

I was running out of copper coins, so I tried to give you one silver coin and seven copper coins, and when it comes to that, I realize that all of your coins are copper coins, and I only give you one silver coin.

You said 63 copper coins... This is a hassle to count, but I used tools like coin purses to count 10 pieces at a time, and it wasn't that much trouble. You have a handy tool. However, I was slightly concerned about the procedure of issuing 100 copies of copper coins first and pulling 37 out of them.

"That's one night. Uh, should I take the rice to your room?

"If you can ask for it"

"Okay, so that's what I'm saying...... yes, I'd appreciate it if you would leave about 'purifying' the sheets before you leave the room. Then this is the key. Room number's on the back of the seventh or first floor."

Pick up the keys and head to the room.

When I opened the door with the number "7" and the number in this world, it was just a room inside.

The windows... oh, not the windowsills or anything, but the wooden planks. Looks like a kannon door. Speaking of which, is glass the world over here? Without it, I feel the value of the water golem would explode.

Lights were equipped with magic props of light. They say when you put down the demon stone, it will switch on and light up, with the eyeballs of this inn. Looks like you can either prepare the Demon Stone in front of you or use what you sell at the inn.

Note that even without the Demon Stone, if you shed magic in front of yourself, you can make it lit... but you need to keep flushing.

By the way, I've never heard of it before, but the demon stone seems to wear out when I use it and disappear at the end. Seems like they say that if you let the magic flow through you on a regular basis, it will last.

And it was like a bed at the heart, but a thin sheet on a wooden box. Much stiff. Or almost board. Here.

Isn't it somewhat better than a park bench for a few layers of cloth?

The 5DP 'Offton' is starting to seem like a very good bedding. Actually, you must be superior.

"Am I on the floor, sir?

"No, shall we sleep together? It looks cold."

Let's get some sleep today when we have dinner.... Actually, I've had quite a bit of muscle pain since earlier.

Tomorrow I won't be able to stand the severe pain and I need the cloth golem to move my body forcefully so I may not be able to move...

While I think so, 'purify' myself and Nik and wait for the rice.

"Oh, yes, we have to distribute today's rewards."

I take out five copper coins and give them to Nik. Split + extra rewards.

"Come on, I can't have this much! I didn't do anything."

"You told me Nik would find a request and that my 'purification' would do it, right? So it's okay, take it."

"So, but..."

"I wish the skewered BBQ was just five copper coins... I want to have skewered BBQ with Nik"

"... I'll take it too"

Because we talked about skewered BBQ, I heard a belly bug squeal.

It's not me. It's Nik.

... Speaking of which, I didn't feed you anything since Zia came along. Just breakfast.

I'm just a little guilty of eating apples.

After a while, the innkeeper brought the rice to my room.

I only have two loaves of bread, vegetable soup, and two loaves of bread for Nik. I see, is there such a difference?

I halved my vegetable soup amicably with Nik and forced hard bread into the back of my throat.

The vegetable soup itself was quite delicious. Yeah. It tasted thin, but it felt like vegetable umami was coming out.

*

Okay, I'm leaving the room overnight. My body was tight and stiff, but my muscle aches weren't even that severe, it was helpful.

This time, Nik was also able to serve as a solid pillow without bringing. The bathroom before bed is important, isn't it? I stopped thinking it would just be out trying to take my clothes off when I slept with you.

Speaking of which, I remember you telling me to 'purify' the sheets before I left, and I just kept them clean. I'm used to 'purifying' too.... You must be adorable that the whole room was accidentally cleaned by the aftermath. Ma'am, well, you shouldn't mind for it to be beautiful.

"Nik, have you forgotten anything?

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, so why don't you buy something at the stall instead of breakfast?"

"Ha, ha."

I returned the keys to the "Sleeping Bird Pavilion" clerk and left the inn.

This is an affordable general lodging...... this is also the result of gathering information.

Speaking of which, would Rocco have been fine by himself in the dungeon...... I guess he would be fine. I was alone before I got here.

It's time I missed the master room in the dungeon.

Let's just gather more useful information and go home...
