âAnd here is the room youâll be staying in Sir. Hereâs the key so please make sure to keep your room properly locked for safety purposes.â
âThanks for the guide.â
âWell then, Iâll leave you to it. Please enjoy your stay.â
With a deep bow, the attendant who guided us here to our room left us to ourselves.
Soon after, I opened the room with the key and entered it to check it out.
âUooh!! The hell is this room!? Holy shit look at this bed! Itâs so damn fluffy!!â
âThis is incredibleâŠâŠ.Even the view from the room is beautiful. Is it really fine for us to stay in a place like this?â
I could understand their surprise and excitement, as the room was just that clean and spacious.
On top having an attached shower and toilet, there was even a magical item that could use Air Control magic to modify the temperature.
This was basically heaven in comparison to [Shangri-la hotel].
Honestly, I was doubting whether this was really the lowest rank room they had.
âWeâve worked hard to get here, a reward is only natural no? Once we return to Realzard, itâll be back to earning money day in day out as always so letâs treat ourselves and enjoy while weâre still in the capital.â
âI suppose thatâs trueâŠâŠ..right?â
âUnâŠ.Say, I have never really âtreated myselfâ so I donât really know what I should do though.â

Well to be fair, I havenât done so before either though.
I wonder if me staying in Peixa forest and gathering plants counts as âenjoyingâ but I have a feeling a place with killer wild monsters and poisonous plants doesnât exactly qualify in that regards.
âWell, Iâm not that experienced in such things either but just relax and donât be on guard all the time I guess. Like, how about we start with taking a good shower in turns.â
âAh, Iâll happily go along with that. An attached shower really is the best!â
âWell on normal busy days, sometimes you just have to make do with a wet towel to wipe your body. Though I guess that was still better than when we were living in that dilapidated house.â
âWe should consider changing bases when we promote to silver rank. Itâs not like we made some great connections while here anyway. Iâve been thinking of moving to [Dove Inn] for some time now.â
âSounds nice! Though I suppose [Dove Inn] is our limit as far ânice placesâ go eh?â
âNot really. If we want we could aim much higher. Once we donât have any reason to save money like for the grimoire or Ralfâs surgery, weâll have much more free money on handâŠâŠBut, my final goal is to buy an actual house all to ourselves sometime down the line, so I guess âsavingsâ will have to continue.â
This is just my personal wish, but who doesnât want their own âclan houseââŠâŠâŠâŠ.Also, I want to be able to grow my own poisonous plants safely.
âA house!? You love dreaming big huhâŠâŠ.Not that Iâm against it or anything.â
âI am wholeheartedly in favour as well. Itâll really feel like we have âmade itâ once we can buy our own house, wont it?â
âGood to see some excitementâââbut we digress, so whoâs going into the shower first?â
âBy all means, please go first if wish Chris-san.â
âI donât mind Chris having first dibs either.â
âThen, Iâll take you two up on that offer and head in.â
Since they gave me the option, I happily decided to wash off my sweat.
But still, to think weâve got to a point where we can realistically start thinking of buying a house.
Only a couple months, these two wouldnât have even dared utter something like this. But they are growing after all.
I thought of such things as I picked my spare clothes and headed to the bath.

âChris-san, is he finally in the bath?â
âI can hear the shower so probably.â
ââŠâŠ.itâs amazing isnât it, that we could actually stay in a place like this.â
After confirming that Chris was in the bath, Esta muttered with deep emotions as she stared outside the window.
It was a scene she couldnât even imagine before she had met Chris, yet here we were. It was real.
âWe talked about this while on the way here but, our lives really got changed.â
âYeah. We used to think our days of grovelling on the ground would end when we undertook the [Heavenâs Blessing] butâŠâŠ..that didnât happen. Yet he did it, singlehandedly changed our entire lives.â
âAnd to think we tried to steal from him eh?â
âTrue. Sometimes my heart hurts just thinking back on that day. More so because even then, he was originally trying to be kind and help me before I attacked him.â
âChris might say âdonât worry about itâ if he heard this butâŠâŠâŠI donât think we can ever repay this debt, even with our lives.â
âThe day he took us into our partyâŠ..no, even before that. The day he accepted living with us, our fate was already decided. We, are going to live for his sake.â
With a completely serious gaze, Esta spoke so.
Chris will definitely hate it if he heard this, and even Iâd be embarrassed to openly say it like her, but the fact is that I too have already resolved to devote my life to Chris.
âEsta, you and me, no matter what happens in the future will always be Chrisâ allies.â
âGoes without saying. But before that Ralf, you need to get your injury treated and quickly start being of help to him and the party okay?â
âIf only I could make that happen with just work ehâŠâŠ..But, if I really get healed, Iâll train enough to kill me, just to get stronger.â
âAnd I too, will train in magic like I could die any day. And Iâll study other things as well.â
As we reaffirmed our resolve and will, the sound shower stopped at the same time.
To make sure Chris doesnât even get a hint about this conversation, we quickly exchanged glances and started chatting about random things as if the previous talk never happened.
