Chapter 57 Eagle Eye Pavilion
By the time I left the school after explaining to Professor Lembert in the research building, the eastern sky had begun to darken.
If we didn't find a place to spend the night, we would have to camp in a corner of Ibro.
I chose one of the three inns introduced by the guild called "Takametei", and it has the lowest room rate.
It's a bit far from the city center, but not too far from the school, so it's not too far away.
Following the guild's instructions, I saw a sign that looked like an eyeball.
Kometei is a slightly older building, but it doesn't feel dilapidated.
"Good evening"
When I opened the creaky door and walked in, there was an old dog man with a beard sitting on the counter in front of me.
The old man asked in a hoarse voice after deciding on the project, facing me with three white eyes.
"What do you want?"
"Is there a room?"
"What day is it?"
"For now, tonight"
“... Rice? ”
"Please"
"And breakfast?"
"Yes"
"Four silver coins, an advance payment, and an ID card"
There was no smile on the uncle's dog man's face.
I thought I was mistaken, but there was a good smell wafting from inside.
Behind the first floor seems to be the restaurant and bar of the inn, and there are already two groups of people drinking.
Although the old man was not friendly, the meal must have been good.
When I took out my guild card, the old man who saw what was written on it looked at me with a look of surprise.
Again, I made a judgment from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, with slightly cloudy eyes.
"Are you the one who defeated the Bronze Wolf?"
"It's not just me."
"Hmm..."
After paying four pieces of silver, the old man handed out a key with a wooden plaque on it.
"Just use the first room on the second floor, and if you want to take a bath, the well is just outside the door and under the stairs."
"Thank you"
"I have a lot to say, but it's more important now to make sure there's a bed."
On the second floor, there are five doors at the end of the stairs and two doors on the other side of the hallway.
"Maybe the size of the room is different."
I listened carefully and heard some voices, and it seemed that there were other guests.
When I opened the door closest to the staircase and entered, I found myself in a monotonous room with only a bed, a small table, and a chair.
The windows weren't even hung with curtains, but they seemed to have been cleaned as recommended by the guilds.
The light wasn't a magic weapon, just a lamp hanging on the wall.
It looks like it contains oil, but it stinks when burned, so I made a light magic tool out of celestial magic.
"I use magic tools every day for lighting, so I have the freedom to adjust the size and brightness."
After lighting up the room, we started using the magic circle we had just learned.
The magic circle I got today was lightning and temperature control, but I used temperature control.
So far, I've mastered the cooling magic tool by copying the magic array in Mr. Zeor's fridge, but the only way to warm it up is to use the fire magic tool.
I made a hair dryer out of a combination of fire and wind magic, but if I got too close or the power output was set incorrectly, my hair would get burned.
In addition, fire-based and water-based instruments are incompatible, and even if you can heat the water in the pot, the fire will go out when combined, so you can't make hot water.
"So, a magic tool for heating you?
When the air containing magical power solidifies into a warm magic array, the temperature rises.
When I made it with the image of compressed air to increase the amount of magic essence, the temperature rose even further, and the shape of the magic circle became red-hot.
By changing the compression ratio and thickness several times to determine the standard, and then combining it with the wind magic tool, the temperature of the dryer is adjusted much easier.
If you want to lower the temperature, you can reduce the number of ritual instruments that heat it, and conversely, if you want to increase the temperature, you can increase it.
"Alright, let's do another job before dinner."
I made a box with a grid at the bottom and threw a futon and a pillow inside.
"Let's go in tick mode!"
I put the dryer under the box and heated the futon along with the pillow.
If I'm not mistaken, mites don't die if they dry in the sun, but they do if the temperature exceeds 60 degrees.
If you keep it in this state for a few minutes, the mites are eliminated and the water is removed and it becomes fluffy.
By applying this function, it is possible to dry clothes even on rainy days.
As I got rid of the ticks, I cleaned up the bed itself, and as I was making up my bed for the night, I heard a voice downstairs telling me that dinner was ready.
"Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is ready! [It's not delicious when it's cold, so please eat it quickly!] ”
The voice sounded like a middle-aged woman, presumably the proprietress of the inn.
I didn't expect it to taste as good as the Marur meuniere I ate during the day, but my stomach had been complaining for a while, so I decided to go to the cafeteria immediately.
When I opened the door, I was startled by a man who was walking down the stairs.
She has long jet-black hair, just like the one seen in the shampoo commercial, wears a black leather jacket and pants, black leather combat boots on her feet, and a dark-skinned panther woman tall enough to look up. At.
"Ah, that, you say."
The Black Panther Woman glanced at me, but immediately looked away and went downstairs in silence.
"Even though I was wearing heavy boots, I couldn't hear the footsteps coming down the stairs."
A dagger with a black scabbard hung from his tight waist.
When I tried to touch that smooth, fluffy tail, I felt like I was going to be beaten and it was too fluffy.
"My tail is great to the touch, but that seems to be better."
Because he was dressed in black, I thought he was an assassin at one point, but he was most likely an adventurer.
On the other hand, my clothes are cargo shorts and a regular button-down shirt, just like any kid out there.
Holding a knife may make you look more like an adventurer, but you can craft as many knives as you want with celestial magic and don't need to worry about maintenance.
"Moreover, if you don't have a weapon, the other side will let down their guard, so it seems that there is no need at all."
Lock the door for the time being and go down the stairs.
I didn't want to lose, so I used my cushioned footsteps and didn't even make the slightest sound of footsteps.
There is a Celestial Attribute Shield installed on the inside of the room door and on the front of the room cabinet, so if you try to break it, you will know that there is no need to worry about it being broken unless something is serious.
There are 4 tables for 4 people, 3 tables for 2 people, and counter seats for about 6 people.
I hesitated, but sat down at the other end of the counter.
"Please"
"Boy, you're a new customer, I'm the proprietress Nerva, what do you want to drink?"
On the other side of the counter, Miss Nerva, standing in the kitchen, was a sturdy boar girl, probably in her forties.
"Add milk."
"Ouch!"
"I was hoping that the bar would grow, but no one seems to have heard of it."
The Black Panther didn't look at me either, and tilted her glass.
"Yes, please wait!"
Mr. Nerva served the dinner on a tray to the Black Panther Woman, and then brought it to me.
The menu includes steamed potatoes, tomato stew, and brown bread.
The Drum potato is similar to the eight-headed potato grown in the village of Azca and is characterized by a strong flavor.
"With butter, it tastes even more delicious."
This tomato-based stew is made by simmering organ meats with carrots, cabbage and beans.
I don't know what kind of offal it was, but it was cooked soft and melted.
“Umya! But it's hot! Yo, it's melting, the guts are melting, Umya! ”
"He's a noisy kid, but it seems to suit his taste."
"Miss Nerva, what kind of entrail is this?"
"It's oak offal, it's been boiled twice and has been simmering since last night."
"Really thick and tangy, I've never had a stew like this hot, but it was too hot!"
"Hahahaha, the stew won't run away, you eat slowly."
As I was talking to Miss Nerva, I glanced to the side and saw a panther woman with a spoon putting stew into her mouth.
"I was stared at, but I quickly looked away and pretended not to know."
"He looks cool, but he has a cat tongue."
I ate another stew and even added brown bread and enjoyed dinner until my stomach was full.
While I was talking to Miss Nerva, the Panther went back to her room first.
As they walked behind me, I smelled a faint scent, but I didn't hear any footsteps.
