The plain and unnoticed me is no more

184 - Grandpa's Surprise

"I'm home. The mansion is good to run out of, but it's still the best place to settle down after all."

"Fufu, me too. This is my home now. Now, let's get to work as soon as we're done packing."

"That's right. I'll do my best to go shopping as soon as Singh and the others come back!

We were taken by carriage a short distance from the inn and walked back to the Sumitomo Pavilion.

Some people called along the way, but there was no rumor of an attempted kidnapping at the inn.

Somehow, it was thought that our holiday was due to the rupture of the water pipe in the guest room.

With regard to our absence, while we were unable to work due to repair work, we were supposed to go on a trip together with inspections of other accommodations.

My grandfather may have done that, but I wanted you to tell me before you leave the house.

Sin and Taki leave their luggage at home instead of stopping by the inn.

He said he needed to clean up because the taxi had scattered the room packing.

When I changed into my usual clothes and went to the kitchen, Chiyo opened the fridge and checked inside.

The refrigerator is just a wooden box if the magic runs out. The contents of the pot left at room temperature for a few days are definitely rotten.

I approach the refrigerator ready for a strange smell.

"Chiyo, can you get me a sauce pot and mayonnaise bottle right away?

Speak to Chiyo while wearing an apron. Then Chiyo turned to us with a jiotong expression.

"Um... Lana, it looks like someone's already done it for me."

Huh?

Looking at the way Chiyo pointed, the pot and glass bottle were neatly washed on the table beside the washroom. What a saucepan, it has been dropped to the bottom of a burnt pot and is shiny as new.

"Well....! I wonder if Grandpa gave me the instructions."

"Are you listening to us somewhere? I mean, it's really exhausting."

You're going to say it's overprotective. I didn't think my grandfather would be so sweet until I left home. Rather, he was scared and harsh.

No one would believe me if I told that story to the inn members.

"You can leave the fridge as it is. Next, let's take a look at the underground pantry."

"That's right!

"Chiyo, take note of what you bought."

"Yes."

And when I went down to the basement, there were signs of someone in the pantry.

"... Lana, you're replenished with fresh vegetables. Or has it not been completely replaced?

I think so.

Not only vegetables, but also bacon, ham, sausages, eggs and cheese.

Only raw meat is missing.

Now, if the fridge had been cold, would all kinds of meat have been jammed in the cucumber?

I kept the key to the inn with my uncle until this morning, and it seems that I brought it in early this morning because of the freshness of the vegetables. It's not just a vegetable either. They are all the same size and scratch-free first-class items that were lined up in the supermarket of the previous life.

With one straight cucumber here, you can buy three of the usual curved cumbers.

"Lana, this is all you need to open the dining room tonight. We have plenty of rice, and just buy meat and it's perfect!

"That's right... Should we make plans for customers who are waiting to open? All we have to do is clean the room."

"Um, Lana. Don't you feel like the rooms are being arranged?

"Fufu, no way. I won't go that far with the boulders."

Having grabbed the master key at the front desk, we headed to the upstairs room with cleaning tools.

Then I opened the room door and was stunned.

……

"Aha, I knew it!

The rooms that the guests were supposed to have left were kept as clean as Chiyo had expected.

On the contrary, bedding such as seasonal futons and mattresses are new.

Sadly, the repairs to the leaking roofs and cafeterias left no savings, and the bedding and furniture used by the previous owners remained intact.

There have never been any complaints, but the old man who stayed here may have been dissatisfied with the old futon.

"Bedding is new. Could it be that the futon in our room has changed?

"Come on... I don't know. I didn't care, so I didn't even look."

I checked all the rooms, but the rotten parts of the floorboards were also replaced beautifully, and every room was ready to welcome guests at all times.

The two rooms on the back of the third floor, where the previous owner had left the leakage behind, deteriorated floors and walls and could not step in, were also well repaired.

When I bought this place, I abandoned looking at the quote and fixing it.

"Wow, you fixed this room too! Even though the number of rooms is small, I thought it would be a waste to keep them open forever. You got it!

"I was going to fix it when the money was saved up... how much did I spend on my grandfather?"

"Lana, don't say such wild things. Let's be honest here. Even so, there are two more rooms at once... kufufu"

I also checked the linen room afterwards, but everything from spare blankets and sheets to towels was replaced by new ones.

Next time I see my grandfather, I have to thank him. But it was sudden, and you were able to get all these numbers together. Were you planning on getting all the bedding changed in advance, even if this never happened?

And when we got down to the ground floor, the karan and the doorbell rang.
