A Look About the Inn



 

Our inn, [Dancing Dolls Pavilion] . The base I built at the dungeon’s surface layer .
It’s an inn I made myself through the use of [Create Golem] . So that I could move it through the menu’s [Deployment], I made it a subdivision of a floor .
Recently I’ve been living in the Village Chief’s residence, which I annexed on to it .

[Welco—… ah, Master . ]  
“Ah, Neru, you’re on duty?”

 

A doll I picked up in the dungeon that had awareness… using that as the pretext, it was actually a golem I made to look like a humanoid figurine that the insubstantial ring succubus Neru is possessing . She was sitting at the reception counter .
I’d originally established that clay golems were helping us, so her existence here was fully accepted with a simple “Well, it is [Dancing Dolls Pavilion] we’re talking about!”

… Please continue being our inn’s patrons!

“Well, there’s so many golems here anyway… People probably don’t care too much about seeing a single extra doll . ”
[Yeah, it’s to the point that people want to shake my hands . ]  
“Neru, did you turn into a tourist attraction…?”

I headed past the reception desk and into where the dining hall and guest rooms were . There wasn’t much to say about the guest rooms . They were just fifty copper a night, no meals . They had a futon and a light magic tool in it .
And as for the dining hall… well, it was a dining hall . It used a food ticket system to serve guests their food . The food itself used to be stuff we bought with DP, but nowadays we have Kinue-san cooking practically all of it .
The midday rush is over so it’s mostly empty now . Today’s waitresses are—right, the two part-timers, Setsuna and Nayuta .
I knew that the two of them were dungeon-related individuals, but they didn’t know that we had anything to do with the dungeon at all (with the exception of Nerune’s coming out about it) . Let’s have a conversation with them .



“Ah, Village Chief . Hungry?”
“Hmm? Yeah, a bit . ”
“Goshujin-sama, Goshujin-sama, me too~”

Ichika popped up and begged like a starved racehorse when I responded to Setsuna . Alright already, you can back off, I’ll order you some too… rather, aren’t our employees supposed to be given meals?

With that, we ate some simple sandwiches .
By the way, Kinue-san learned the unique skill called [Cooking], a great skill for a silky—that is, for a house fairy that loves house chores .
… Oooh! Kinue-san, you got even better . Aren’t you more skilled than the Sia lord’s cook at this point?

Now that I’ve filled my belly, let’s take a look at the rest of our inn’s facilities—the onsen and the game room, I guess?
The onsen should be alright… other than the massage chair golem I have there, it’s pretty much just a standard onsen . There’s no culture for bathing in the nude here though, so wearing a bath towel’s become the default—ah, but I think there was talk about occasionally entering nude? It’s fine either way, honestly .

“By the way, Goshujin-sama . Do we have pocket money to spend for uhh… testin’ the game room?”
“Obviously not . ”

Sorry Ichika, but no .
We entered the game room .
The game room now has two tables to enjoy yourself on with things like poker and dice, as well as two varieties of rat races . The slots are all over at the bar now, just being able to earn money from them through the rental fee alone is good .

“Ooookay! Time’s almost up to place your bets… oh, Master . ”
“Rei? You had a shift here today?”
“Yes . Ah, will you place a bet?”



When I took a glance to check out the runners—the rats—our eyes met .
… Translation Function ACTIVATE!
Allow me to explain . This translation function I acquired upon coming to this other world allows me to understand even a rat if I activate it consciously!

[Hooray! Master’s here! Now I can win!]  
[Hey now, who said you’re gonna win? Only one of us can, Deppa . ]  
[But isn’t it better for the one Master puts down on to win? Definitely would make him happy . ]  
[No, hold it . Shouldn’t we go as always? I mean—]  
[Nn? In that case, Faito is next up to win, yeah?]  
[Wait up . Wouldn’t it be bad for the one Master bets on if they lose? Have to reject that . ]  
[Faito, did you happen to forget that you were meant to be first?]  
[N-no way, definitely not… I am wise!]  

 

Yep, the rats seem well today . Let’s not place a bet .


“I’m thinking about playing some dice today . ”

[[[[[Eeh—]]]] … ho—]  

 

Whoops, Translation Function cancel—there we go .
I then tried moving over to the suitable table… ah, looks like there’s a guy on a winning streak here . He looks well dressed, probably not someone from this village… alright, time to take away his stuff .

“Mind if I join?”
“Nn? Sure, I accept anyone’s money!”

How motivated you are . Sorry, but those dice are my golems .

 

*

 

Phew, this guy was crazy lucky . He never rolled below a three . Maybe he has the [Luck] skill?

“No way… I… lost? What cheat did you use!?”
“Come on, there’s no need to accuse me like that . ”
“Shut up! There’s no way I lost, you absolutely cheated! I’m not going to pay a copper!”

Woah, an annoying person .

“Ah, you’re not a resident here are you? … Did you know this, then? In this village, cheating is allowed so long as you don’t get caught . Those who shirk their debts are treated the same as thieves . In other words, if you say that you won’t pay, it’s fine to treat you as a slave and take your possessions . You can check with the Village Chief on it if you want . ”

When I said that, one of the villager-adventurers closed the entrance . Nice one . I’ll give you a pudding later .

“Haah? You think I’d f*ckin let you make me a slave? Don’t make me laugh, I’m a B-Rank adventurer—a noble!”
“Yeah, I don’t care . Are you going to pay up or not—are you a thief?”
“I’m not a thief! Rather, I’ll have you executed for going against the crown! I’ll forgive you right now if you give me your woman, how’s that sound?”

Ahh, so he’s bluffing .
Rather, isn’t it even worse for a B-Rank to be a thief like that? Honestly, only the ridiculous S-Rank heroes can do as they please, and even those get purged by Haku-san if they’re too outrageous .
The Adventurer Guild is strict with its members that commit crimes .
While on the subject, it’s a heavy crime to impersonate as a noble .

And above all, starting a fight against me or anything that’s mine is an auto out .

“Right, so you’re saying that you don’t intend to pay?”
“Obviously, you f*cking cheat!”

The self-proclaimed B-Rank adventurer pulled out his sword and stabbed it into the table .
Oh, I’m going to have you pay me that back too .

“… Yeah . I’ll give a pudding to whoever deals with this guy . ”

“Hyahaah! I was waiting for that!”
“The pudding’s mine! Practically been bouncin’ outa my shoes waitin’ here!”
“I’ll have this shit give me back some of the money I lost!”
“Wha—hey—wai—-!”

Hearing my order, adventurers popped up and attacked him all at once, capturing him in just a few seconds .
Ah, you third guy… you’ll be a thief if you actually do that . Even if he cheated, it’s valid if you can’t figure out why .

By the way, Ichika participated even though his capture was already guaranteed . Guess she wanted some pudding, too?
