Chapter 59 – Incident.
A boy and a girl stood on a dirt road in a carriage. It was night, so they were both drowsy. But as they didn't want to stop there because it could be dangerous, the carriage kept moving.
It wasn't easy to sleep in there because of the carriage swaying.
"Eris, what do you say we visit that inn again so we can rest?
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"That inn we stayed in a few days ago. The inn where that guy was killed."
"But how are we going to get to that inn? It's a long way from here, you know."
"There's a way." Rudeus took the tickets Nahida had given him out of his pocket. There were several of them. Despite having passed through a small town the day before, he hadn't used any of them.
"What's this?" Eris took the tickets from Rudeus's hand. Then he took them back.
"That guy said I can use this to make his inn appear." Rudeus had seen this working before but spoke as if he hadn't seen Nahida use it.
"Is that really possible?"
"We can test it. Hey, Ruijerd, stop!" Rudeus shouted, and the carriage suddenly stopped. Ruijerd looked back and saw Rudeus and Eris close together. They were both wearing a single blanket.
"?" He kept looking at the two of them to find out what was happening.
"I'm leaving to test something." Rudeus crawled out from under the blanket and jumped out of the carriage.
"Hey, where are you going?!" Ruijerd grabbed his spear and also jumped out of the carriage. He approached Rudeus, who had walked away from the road in order to use the ticket.
"All right, that should work." Rudeus placed the ticket on the ground in front of him. After he had done this, Nahida's hotel really grew in front of his eyes, as it had before.
It was incredible.
Ruijerd was paralyzed. He didn't understand how it was possible. Eris, who had suddenly seen the hotel appear, was stunned. Then, she ran towards the door. She remembered the hotel's comfortable bed and delicious food.
When Eris opened the door, she found an equally red-haired girl. But unlike her, she was a tall girl with big breasts. Eris was just a child, after all.
"Wow..." Rudeus' face turned red, and he began to feel something grow inside his pants when he saw the woman.
Ruijerd still needed to understand what was going on. He hadn't even realized that this was the same hotel. Well, the hotel had grown a lot in size. It was understandable that he couldn't remember.
Besides, there was a beautiful woman who didn't work there when they were there the first time.
"Welcome..." Rias said with a smile.
####
It had been a few days since Rias had started working at the hotel. She had quickly got used to the job, which pleased Nahida. The only problem was that she worked only a few hours a day.
She would only arrive at the hotel at lunchtime, work for two hours, and then leave. She would only return between 6 and 7 in the evening and work for another two hours before returning home.
"At least her presence has started to attract more customers. Especially from the world of Rimuru." A beautiful woman would certainly attract the attention of perverted men. Not just humans, but monsters too.
It was the first time that Nahida's hotel had started to welcome monsters as guests. Mainly goblins.
"Rias, are you leaving already?"
"Yes, lunchtime is over, and the customers are leaving. I'll be back in the evening." Rias took off his apron and put it on one of the tables.
"I'll see you in the evening."
Nahida said goodbye to Rias, and she left. As soon as she left, new customers arrived. The rooms were almost all full, and Nahida hadn't bought rooms in the last few days.
He was saving up points.
[ Available Rooms - 2/15 ]
[ Hotel Level - 19 (2114/8000 ]
[ Guest satisfaction - 2346/10000 ]
There were only two rooms available. Even with so many customers, satisfaction wasn't very high. Nahida realized that he had a lot to improve in his hotel in order to increase customer satisfaction.
Nahida made a list of the main things he needed to improve.
Rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and also customer service. There was no one other than him, Nazuna, and Rias to attend to customers during breakfast, lunch, and dinner (Rias would only be there during lunch and part of dinner time). The customers get impatient because of the delay.
The day before, one of the guests got impatient and left without eating. It wasn't just Nahida, Nazuna, and Rias fault. It was also the fault of Lucky and the other cooks. The kitchen was too small.
They ended up getting in the way of each other, and the food took too long to be made. There were too many chefs working at the same time.
'And with the increase in guests and people coming here just to eat, things got out of hand.'
Nahida sat down with a cup of coffee and opened his upgrade system to see what he would spend his points on. Nahida wondered whether he should upgrade everything or spend it on rooms.
He had wanted to buy new rooms, but yesterday's incident and the low guest satisfaction had started to make him indecisive.
"But I've been collecting points for the rooms for many days... I'll buy the rooms." He would collect more points to upgrade what was needed. He would work harder from now on so that no customer complained.
