Chapter 77 – The Nightmare Hides His Goodness #6

Only an adventurer who had never bought bread could throw stones at me now.
How much did you suffer in the cramped room for two years?
Even if I had the luxury of moving instead of fitting my equipment, I could say I was innocent.

Better living space!
A better livelihood!
For adventurers in another world, those were the ultimate goals. It means that all adventurers have a loaf of bread in their hearts. It’s all about eating and living, but it’s abnormal to match the equipment first.

‘Besides, if you think about it, it’s not necessarily extravagant, right?’

Since I was a wizard, I was proud of moving rooms.
It was only natural that the efficiency of magic training would increase in a better environment.
Even if Rebecca argues and listens, I am confident that I can refute it.

After returning to the inn.
I immediately spoke to Brown, who was sitting in the lobby.
He was the only innkeeper guarding the lobby.

“Mr. Brown, I’d like to move that room.”
“You mean leaving the room? Do you have somewhere else to stay?”

Brown must have mistaken me for moving to another inn.
But I had no intention of leaving this inn yet.

“I’m not going to another inn. I just want to move to a better room.”
“There are plenty of rooms that are better than that. But if you want to spend the money, wouldn’t it be nice to move to an inn with better facilities?”
“I don’t like to be bothered by having to move to a new inn. Don’t you remember? The first time I came here, I had an argument with the couple living next door.”
“Ah… I remember.”

Brown nodded his head as if he knew what I meant. As a dream horse, it was not easy for me to move my residence. It was clear that changing the inn would again lead to annoying misunderstandings from the residents. I’m moving to a better place to live, but I don’t want to be stressed out for nothing.

Of course, it’s not that I don’t want to leave this inn.
It would be possible to save money later and buy a whole house. Unlike modern land, this medieval land was not at a level where house prices went crazy.
Until then, I move rooms in order to live like a human being.

“Is there a room you would recommend?”
“There is a luxurious room on the 3rd floor of the inn. The monthly fee is 4 silver. Would you like to tour the 3rd floor yourself?”
“Yes. It would be better to choose with your own eyes.”

I followed Brown to the third floor of the inn.
The hallway decorated with decorations caught my eye, befitting a floor with luxury rooms. Brown showed me one empty room on the third floor. It was quite spacious for a single room, befitting a room where silver coins were paid for accommodation.

“The room that looks the best… I’d like this one.”

I chose the room at the far end of the 3rd floor hallway.
It was the largest in size, and I thought I could pay less attention to the noise when practicing magic. But for some reason, when he saw the room I had chosen, Brown made a surprised expression. I quickly threw a question at that unusual expression.

“What is it? Could there be something wrong with the room?”
“No. I swear on my balls that there’s nothing wrong with that room.”

You mean the man swears by his balls?
With those words, I was relieved and was able to solidify my choice of room.

“Then why are you surprised?”
“There’s going to be a new tenant in the room across the street tomorrow. He’s going to be your neighbor.”
“Any other new tenants besides me?”

It was something I couldn’t help but be interested in. If the person living next door had a eccentric personality, nothing could be as shitty as that. Especially if you hated incubus, you were prepared to move the room to another place immediately.
I asked Brown nervously.

“Who is that? Aren’t they strange?”
“…He’s not a strange person! I can vouch for that.”

For some reason, Brown was making a puzzled expression while glancing at me. Could it be that you’re blaming me right now? Could the person entering the next room be a psychopath?

“What’s your name?”

I casually asked Brown the guest’s name. If you know the name, you should be able to guess the gender. As a dreamer, it would be better for a man to live next door than a woman.

“Re.”
“Re?”

It was the moment Brown had just opened his mouth.
Brown, who met my eyes, hurriedly averted his gaze and opened his mouth.

“Le, Rekonslandamiya von Alkerk III!”
“…Huh?! Dammit, are you a noble?”
“Che, he’s a strong man! He’s coming to the city and is preparing to become a knight! He’s a cheerful personality, so he probably doesn’t care about you! Let’s be good neighbors! Heh heh heh!”

An aristocratic young man from the countryside who moved to the city?!
It was a neighbor with more specs than I thought!
It was enough to put pressure on me, a dream horse with no genealogy from a fucking long name. Still, being a noble isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If you get close, can’t you get a piece of rice cake and eat it?

“Okay. Thanks for the specifics, Mr. Brown.”
“Heh, heh heh! Aren’t you my regular customer? It’s only natural that you’re considerate! Move your luggage upstairs quickly! I’ll hand you the key in the lobby!”

Brown panicked and dragged me into the lobby before he handed me the key to the room. I immediately calculated the accommodation fee on the spot, appreciating the quick turnaround.
The monthly accommodation fee was 4 silver, but there was no particular problem.
Now, with that much money, I could cover it by running through quests.

“I’ll give you the key to the original room later. After I’ve moved all my stuff upstairs.”

I finished my business with Brown, went up to my room, and started to move my things. It was still late in the afternoon, so I think I would have enough time to move my luggage until night. It was because I was moving to a room just a floor upstairs.

“Huh.”

I moved my luggage one by one to the rooms on the third floor through the stairs.
After moving out around 0:00 in the morning, I fell face down on the bed and fell into a sound sleep.

*

Yesterday, I finished the quest and moved safely.
I planned to take a long nap today, but I had no choice but to wake up early in the morning. Because there was a constant noise from the hallway.
Maybe the person living next door is moving the movers?

“Leckon bastard.”

I buried my face in the pillow and let out a hateful exclamation.
What did the name of the aristocratic young man living next door say?
It was a long name, but the only thing left in my head is Recon.
The name reminds me of crispy grilled chicken.

To carry movers from early in the morning, did that young aristocrat have no conscience? Does it mean that you will discipline your neighbors from day one like a noble? I couldn’t sleep at all because of the thumping sound.

“What kind of bastard are you!”

I was forced to get out of bed.
Because I wanted to see the face of who the hell was making a fuss. I can’t treat you carelessly because I’m a noble, but wouldn’t it be possible to politely ask?
We will continue to see each other in the future anyway. There was nothing wrong with speaking up in advance.

Squeak!
I opened the door and went out into the hallway.
At that moment, the door of the room opposite opened and someone jumped out.
The moment I met his eyes, I couldn’t help but be astonished.
It was the same with the person who would be my next door neighbor.

“Les, Rebecca?”
“Luke-?!”

A familiar red-haired female prosecutor was standing in the hallway. The aristocratic youth Recon was nowhere to be found and Rebecca appeared. Even with a bunch of miscellaneous things in his hands.
I asked Rebecca with a surprised expression.

“Why are you here?”
“That, that’s it.”

Rebecca shivered as if she had been caught doing something bad.
She looked at me in disbelief.

“Why are you here? Your room is downstairs! Are you stealing?”
“I moved rooms yesterday! Fucking stealing! Do I look like that?”
“That’s right, so you moved rooms too.”
“You too?”
“Ugh.”

Rebecca covered her own mouth in her astonishment. But I could get a rough idea of ​​how things were going from just two letters. I’ll get a feel for it soon, but I don’t think I need to use my head to come to a conclusion.

“Hey-.”

I snapped her finger at Rebecca.
I meant to come into my room.

“As a boyfriend, I’d like to hear an explanation of what happened.”
“Sigh.”

No answer was heard, but Rebecca let out a sigh and nodded her head. Then, with her shoulders drooping, she quietly came into my room.

After a while.
Kneeling in her room, Rebecca gave me a full report of what had happened.
Explaining in her respectful terms, she bowed her head like a criminal.

“Eh, dear Luke. I actually planned to move into this inn from the day I returned from the subjugation quest.”
“You said you were planning to move from then on? Why? No matter how you look at it, the facilities are better there.

I thought of the inn where Rebecca originally stayed.
The size of the room was similar, but the facilities were much more sophisticated than the inn I lived in. If you’re thinking of moving, wouldn’t it be better to get a better room in the same inn?

“The facilities are better there, but I have a boyfriend here.”
“What, what?”

My heart fluttered momentarily.
Could it be that he only looked at me and moved to this inn?
Do you want to live in the same place as the person you are dating?
At my startled response, Rebecca exclaimed as she blushed.
The clumsy honorifics ended at the same time.

“I-I don’t mean that- you and I are a fixed party! It was hard to have to visit each place for every quest. If we’re going to move together in the future, we’d rather live in the same building. Am I wrong?”
“You’re right, Mr. Rebecca, who is not honest.”
“Kuk.”

As I agreed, I looked at Rebecca with her warm, lukewarm eyes.
She was well aware of her lonely nature.
Even though he talked like that in words, he must have missed people in his heart.

“Don’t look at me with those eyes!”
“Which eyes?”
“Eyes like looking at an abandoned pet!”

Rebecca threw a tantrum as she fell to her knees. But for today, I wasn’t the one who could stand still and suffer from her anger. I quickly asked Rebecca a sharp question.

“So why did you hide it from me? Quite a bit of time must have passed since the subjugation quest was over. What was the reason you kept the move a secret from me?”

As I asked the question, I finally realized the identity of what Rebecca called the ‘secret’ yesterday. Did you say there is something you really want to do with the reward? As it turned out, the job was to move rooms at an inn like me.
The moment I realized that fact, I felt very at ease.
It’s because I realized that our newbie adventurer also has the temperament of eating bread.
Then why did you keep the replacement move a secret?
Isn’t there anything to hide?

‘Is it embarrassing to buy bread?’

Rebecca opened her mouth as she welled up.

“To surprise you.”
“Is that all? That’s all?”

The moment I looked at you with an expression of disbelief.
Rebecca said, pressing her forehead to the ground.

“…Yes!”

It seemed like he was sincere.
How crazy can you be at pranks to come up with a plan like this? I started to genuinely worry about Rebecca’s personality. It was the moment I was about to give Rebecca light advice.

“Hit!”

Rebecca raised her head suddenly.
Then he started searching the pockets of her leather trousers. After a while, what came with Rebecca’s hand was a small key. A key about the same size as the one I received from Brown.

“Hey, take this.”

Rebecca carefully held out the key to me.
Receiving the key in a haphazard way, I couldn’t help but question it.

“This is my room key. Spare key.”

Spare key?
You mean the key to the room across the way?
In Rebecca’s room?

“Holy Sheeet.”

The moment I realized the identity of the key, my face turned red. I couldn’t help but have all sorts of lewd imaginations about the meaning of handing over this key.

It’s a power charge!
It’s as if I’ve just obtained a magical power recharge voucher!

“Eh, what is this…?”

The moment I opened my mouth with a puzzled expression.
Rebecca replied with her cheeks blushing.

“You can come over to my room sometimes! I’ll let you!”
