Chapter 212
We followed Miss Licoris through the streets of the northern district .

“…And this building to the right here is the gym…”
“I see…”
“To the left is the bathing facility . Once you have cleaned and refreshed yourself, you can go to the food district and satisfy your appetites…”
“…Right . ”
It was like being on a tour . To be honest, I didn’t care about any of this stuff at all . I wanted to get to our inn…
“…Hey . ”
“What…”
Daniela whispered in my ear . I had a bad feeling about this .
“Tell her to stop wasting our time…”
“You tell her… I’m too tired…”
“As I have said many times…there is this curse…”
“You really need to think of a better excuse…”
You go . No, you go . We jabbed and elbowed each other as we walked . Which was fine, until my foot got caught on hers and I tripped forward and fell . On my face .
“are you alright!?”
“Yeah… No problem at all…”
“Yo-your nose is bleeding! We should take you to the medical facility…!”
NO! It will be nightfall by the time we reach the inn!
“I’m sorry, Miss Licoris . But I just want to lie down and get some rest…”
“I-I see… Oh, yes . I am supposed to be taking you to the inn…”
She finally remembered her purpose for being here… Well, the damage had been worth taking then…
I pulled out a clean cloth from the hollow bag and pressed it against my bleeding nose as Miss Licoris led us to the inn…or lodging facility .
“This is the lodging facility for imperial military personnel . Please come inside . ”
A large building stood in front of us . It really was huge . Miss Licoris had been very insistent on explaining it to us on the way . According to her, the place was like a temporary dormitory . It was used by those who worked at night, or as a place to stop before patrols . It was also used as a resting area . There was a bathing room and an area to do your laundry . An all-round convenient place to live in .

The entrance was also quite large . There were tables and chairs to rest, a front desk, and a hallway to the dining hall . Also, stairs to the second floor . It all looked good to me .
We went to the front desk first . It was close to the entrance on the right side . A young man with glasses worked behind it .
“Hello, Hipericam . ”
“Hmm…ah, Licoris . It’s you . ”
He looked up at us with a lazy expression .
“Mister Asagi and Miss Daniela here need your permission to use this facility . ”
“…So they had the pass then?”
“Yes . Mister Asagi, if you please . ”
“Right, here it is . ”
I took it out from the bag and handed it over .
“Hmm… What happened to your nose?”
“I fell . ”
“Hmm… Well, it is real, I can see that . You can sign right here then . ”
And so I wrote my name on the list on the counter . Daniela also picked up the pen and signed her name .
“Good . You may now use the facility . Please remember to sign again on your departure . ”
“Thank you . I see it’s quite simple then . ”
I had assumed the process would be more complicated…
“People who have priority passes have to be treated well . Of course, the military also does what it can for ordinary civilians and tourists, but those with priority passes are a priority . ”
So that’s what it means… It still felt pretty odd .
“Here we believe that guests would prefer things to proceed quickly and smoothly . Just like in the military . ”
I guess military personnel just had to sign their names and they could use the facility .
Interesting . Stress-free . The priority pass was a wonderful thing .
“Oh, you should go to the central guard-house later . Though, it can be tomorrow . ”

“Why?”
“They will give you a bracelet in exchange for the pass . It’s much more convenient that way . ”
I see . So there would be no need to flash the card every time . They wanted things to be as smooth as possible here .
“Got it . We’ll visit it later on then . ”
“Mmm . Here is your key . It’s room sixteen on the third floor . ”
“Thank you . ”
“Please enjoy your stay . ”
He gave me the key and promptly returned to whatever he was doing on his desk . He would help us when needed but was much more interested in other things . That’s what it looked like .
We moved over to the tables with Miss Licoris . There was a magic device here that created drinking water . We filled some cups and then sat down at a table .
“Here . ”
“Thank you . ”
“Thank you, Asagi . ”
Don’t mention it . I smiled and took a seat . My nose had stopped bleeding .
“My mission as your tour guide is now complete . ”
She said with a polite bow after taking a sip of water .
“I’m sorry that it took longer than expected . ”
“No-no, don’t worry about that . We got here in the end . ”
“Yes . And we learned some very useful information that will come in handy during our stay . ”
“Hehe . I am happy that you think so . ”
After that, she gave us a brief explanation of the facility before getting up to leave . She gave a quick salute and then we parted ways . And with that, we went up the stairs and to room 316 .
The interior of the building was mostly white . The stairs, walls, and ceiling . It kind of messed with your perception of distance if you weren’t careful . It was also clean and spotless .
As we looked around and made our way towards the room, we would pass by people who looked like soldiers, but they all left us alone . Still, they seemed very alert .
“Here it is . ”
I checked the door and the key . Yes, 316 . It continued on until 320, which meant there would be rooms on both sides . So we would have to keep it down…
The door unlocked with a loud click and we entered the room . It was white inside as well . A plain, single room . Nothing really drew the eye . In fact, the simplicity of it made me think of modern-day Japan .
“Hmm… It’s the kind of room that results from taking everything out that is deemed unnecessary . ”
“It really is . ”
There weren’t any security devices either . I suppose it showed they were confident that such a thing would not occur here . In any case, we put down our belongings and fell onto the couch .
“Ahhh…we finally found a place to stay . ”
“I’ll have to thank that guy . Tames…”
“Yes, we will have to thank him if we have a chance . ”
He had even given me a Presence Block tool during the battle with Eve… Karma would not be kind if I didn’t show my gratitude .
“…Oh, by the way…”
I took out my status card from the hollow bag and brought up my status .

“Woah…”
I-I have Presence Block now…
“What is it? Have you gained some odd new skill?”
“Yeah…Presence Block…”
“What? Let me see . ”
Daniela’s head came in and blocked the screen . And so I stared at the back of her neck instead .
“Your level has risen quite a lot… It must be because of the Loup-garou and the Grendel . ”
“And in spite of all that, I mainly used the sword, so my spear skill only went up by one point . ”
But it was the spear that I wanted to improve in .
“More importantly, Asagi, you should have your rank updated at the guild . You should be Rank by now . ”
“Which is what stone?”
“Ruby . ”
Ruby . I liked those . I remember there was this game I played a long time ago where there was a tribe of people who ate rubies .
“So tomorrow, we get the bracelets, apply to increase our ranks and then enlist in the tournament…busy, busy . ”
“But fulfilling, no?”
“You know, I was just about to say the same thing . ”
There was something interesting about the idea that these casual conversations on the couch were still based on our numerous experiences together . Some time had now passed since I came to this world, and it all felt so natural to me now .
