The hotel’s name was apparently Flagship, but I didn’t care about that too much.
Regardless, after five hours of travel, even in a comfortable chair, my body had stiffened up from sitting.
(Thinking back, was the back scratcher meant to improve blood circulation?)
Fortunately, the top-floor suite was available.
The largest bedroom had one grand, Harem-style bed – yes, they understood perfectly,
and the adjacent room had a regular king-size bed. Although, calling a king-size bed “regular” sounds strange.
(This setup allows for about one person on each side, to be… taken care of.)
Then there were two more rooms with beds, and another with three.
So, counting only bedrooms, that’s four rooms. Now, how to assign them?
“Huh? Didn’t they say eight people maximum at the front desk?”
“They probably have extra beds hidden under one of the larger ones.”
“Ah, slide-out ones! Or maybe the living room sofa transforms into a bed.”
Our current party consists of six people. By the way, right after we entered the hotel,
perhaps due to Nastasia’s intimidating gaze, Sil-neechan had stored Helen in subspace.
“Deles, what are we going to do?”
“Um, the very largest bed will be for Nina, by herself.”
“What, you’re not sleeping together?” “So she can rest and heal from the fatigue of travel without any disturbances.”
Unlike us, she had been awake the whole time.
I want her to rest completely, even if it means waking up late.
“I see, so sleeping alone is my punishment this time? I shall accept it resignedly.”
“No no no, that’s a different matter entirely.”
“Is that so? Then at least let me join you for a bath.” “Perhaps later.”
Then, the second-largest bed next to it will be mine.
The rooms for two will be for Clarice and Anju,
and the room for three will be for Helen and Nastasia.
(If that’s the case, Sil-neechan could have slept too… though that would be pointless!)
I wonder how Summons handle sleep.
Do they even need it? I’ve never heard of them being summoned in the middle of the night to sleep.
As I was contemplating this, Nina, as our leader, addressed us.
“Tomorrow, we’ll head to the villa in the afternoon. Until then, it’s free time.
However, try to stay in groups as much as possible. You can sleep the entire morning if you wish. That is all.”
Yes, we were a bit reluctant to stay at the front desk until noon, as we arrived late.
But once I showed them my golden Adventurer Card, they immediately agreed. Truly the work of a golden hero.
“Bye-bye~ Sleep well~”
“Anju, you were already asleep!”
I blurted out as Clarice said that, with my eyes closed on her back.
Well, in a sense, lying down was correct, but I wonder if she doesn’t need a bath.
(She’ll probably take one when she wakes up. Or rather, Clarice will make sure she does.)
“Then we will take our baths later.”
“Ah, yes. Helen, Nastasia too. Good night.”
“Then, Deles.” “Yes, yes.”
So it ended up like this, a bath with Nina.
I merely admired her robust physique. I emerged clean and warm.
Yes, it wouldn’t do to let it affect tomorrow’s, or rather, the afternoon’s activities.
“Normally, I’d want to take you to my bed, but it’s a punishment, so I have no choice. See you.”
“Yes, but don’t think you’re done with me just because of this! Good night.”
And so, I lay down on a bed that was too large for my small body.
(Mmm, I can finally sleep properly!!)
I can’t get a deep sleep with “Dragon Express.”
I can roll over and toss and turn as much as I want.
“Finally, our destination, the villa. But still…”
I look up at the ceiling.
I was excited when I bought it at the Auction, but considering that I later acquired Nina Castle, mansions, and Clarice Castle…
(It’s good to have plenty of bases, but perhaps too many?)
If I don’t like it after seeing it, I can re-list it at the Auction next month.
However, it faces the sea, and if by any chance the Teleportation Magic Circle was easier to connect to the outside…
“I don’t really like the Empire as a country…”
But it probably has the most Dungeons on the continent,
and even though they’re discriminated against, foreign adventurers still come in droves.
Even if I defeat the two of the Seven Great Demon Lords residing in the Empire, there are still…
Knock, knock.
(Huh, who could it be?)
“Please come in.”
“Um, excuse me.”
It was Nastasia, in her bathrobe, after her bath.
“W-what is it?”
“Um, I am a slave. So, for Deles-Master, I am here for… ple-pleasure…”
“No no no, I’m sleeping alone today.”
Ah man, she came in.
“I don’t think slaves should be counted towards the numbers!”
“Th-that’s not the point!”
“I-I can’t hold back any longer!!”
She’s pushing closer and closer!!
“Ah, Nastasia, you were awake the whole time during the transfer, right? You need to rest.”
“I’ll rest once we’ve… done what needs to be done. I don’t mind going back to my assigned room, so…”
“No, no, I want to rest too.” “If so, Master Deles, you don’t have to do anything!”
This is bad, I’m being pushed!
“Master Deles, if you dislike it, please tighten this collar.
Then I will give up. But, but if you don’t… then…”
*Ugh…*
I raised my hand,
but I couldn’t bring myself to tighten it.
And then I was pushed down…
“Ah, Aaaah… My beloved, Master Deles…”
(Well, she was a prime candidate for a Lustful Berserker.)
Is “too kind-hearted” what they call this? Oh well.
