Natalia comes down to the cafeteria in her normal clothes and eats her breakfast with a languid expression on her face.

It's delicious! But I'm so sleepy!

Her hair is neatly arranged, but there is a shadow on her face, probably due to sleepiness.

It is natural, of course, since she has just returned home in the morning and has only slept for a short time.

He was in good spirits because he had been teasing me earlier, but he seemed to have fallen asleep while he was stuffing his stomach with a delicious meal.

Still, Natalia moves the fork in a slow and steady motion.

Still, I could not get the food into my mouth because my neck was moving slowly due to my drowsiness.

She is wearing a revealing one-piece dress, and the straps seem to be slipping off her shoulders, revealing her breasts.

'Oh, Natalia! Your clothes are shifting!''

Letty notices this and rushes to Natalia's side.

She was worried about Natalia, but she felt safer with Lettie.

While Lettie was feeding Natalia, Hermina and her friends were at the door dressed in adventurer's gear.

From the look of their heavy equipment, it seemed that they were going on a mission to take down the enemy.

Here's your lunch! Have a safe trip!

Thank you, Father!

I'm off then!

Hermina and her family, who had received their lunch boxes from their father, were walking out of the house in high spirits.

They are older than me, but I am definitely older than them in mental age.

Seeing their innocent faces as they leave, I feel deeply moved as if I were seeing my own children leaving the house.

...... Well, I've never had children.

Tori! Letty! I'm going to go clean my room!'

''Yes.''

As I was seeing Hermina and the others off, my mother came in with cleaning supplies in her hand.

Mealtime is over and it is mid-morning. Many of the guests who had been staying in the room had gone to work and were no longer in the room.

Now is a good time to clean the room.

Letty and I will take care of the second floor, and Tori will take care of the third floor.

'Ugh! Third floor again?

The third floor has many rooms for two people and is sometimes occupied by couples.

Although we do not encourage nighttime activities, there are some guests who come to the inn for such activities on rare occasions.

Yesterday, there were several guests who looked like couples. Perhaps there are traces of nighttime activities. If so, it would be hard for us to clean up.

Do you want to do it by yourself? If that's the case, how about I do the third floor? I haven't cleaned the third floor much.
I've never done it before.'

'Then, please--'

'Today we had a lot of women on the second floor. So Letty, I need you to help me upstairs.

I was about to ask Lettie to do it when Mom interrupted me and politely added, "I'm not sure I'll be able to do it.

I see. Then I'd better do it. Well then, good luck cleaning the third floor.

Lettie, easily convinced by her mother's proposal, takes the cleaning supplies and goes upstairs.

When Lettie is completely out of sight, I give my mother a longing look.

'...... hey mom'.

'I'm not complaining. I'm not going to let pure Letty clean a couple's room.

'So you're saying I'm already dirty?'

''You're sure it's frayed, right?''

I protest, but she says emphatically and pushes the cleaning supplies toward me.

'Letty is ten years old now, I think it's time to teach her that kind of knowledge,' she says.

'I know, I know. I'll teach you soon.

Mom says this and goes upstairs as if she is done with this conversation.

Is she really going to tell me? Mom and Dad both have a soft spot for Letty for some reason. I'm not sure I'll be able to teach him properly. Especially my dad, he's so sweet.

Well, I'm a man and I can't see anything but trouble ahead, so I'll leave this to you.

Letty. I want you to stay pure, but I also want you to learn and climb up the ladder of adulthood. Specifically, to the third floor of this inn.

And get your brother out of this dirty work.


I'm not going to let you do it.



'...... done'.

I finish cleaning the rooms on the third floor and mutter lazily in the courtyard.

There were two rooms on the third floor that showed signs of having been cleaned.

First, I open the door of the room to ventilate the air. In the meantime, I opened the windows of the other rooms in the same way to ventilate them. Then the room is swept and dusted. The furnishings were checked and the sheets were changed.

However, these two rooms were still the main enemies and had to be carefully cleaned so that the next guests would not feel uncomfortable. As a result, it takes many times more effort to clean them than to clean ordinary rooms, since every nook and cranny has to be cleaned.

As well as being physically exhausting, cleaning such a room is also mentally draining.

It is as if my pure heart has been defiled. It is an indescribable feeling of exhaustion.

Let's get the remaining work done quickly and take a rest first.

After we finish the work on the third floor, Mom and Dad will let us take a rest for our heartache.

If they can be so considerate, I wish they wouldn't make me clean the third floor on a day when there are many couples.

I put away the cleaning supplies, grumbling to myself.

Then I gather up the laundry baskets that are placed in each room.

Our inn has a laundry service where employees do the laundry for an extra charge.

Put the clothes you want to be washed into the laundry baskets placed in each room. The employee collects them and washes them.

Of course, specialized items such as adventurer's armor cannot be washed, but ordinary clothes and towels can be washed.

We collect the baskets with the room numbers on them and leave them to Mother and Letty who are washing the sheets in the courtyard.

Natalia, by the way, does not hesitate to leave her underwear in their hands. However, Hermina, who has a sense of shame, seems to be too shy to ask even her mother and Letty, who are also women, to wash the sheets, so she washes them by herself.

This is a very funny thing to see in a woman of her age.

She is embarrassed to ask her mother and Letty to do the washing by herself. I'll take care of the washing up, so Tori and Lettie can take a little rest.

'Yeah, okay!

Then, I'll do that.



After bringing in all the laundry baskets, I was able to get a break from my mother.

She is a very strict mother, but at least she seems to be taking care of me.

I don't think I ever had such a break in my previous life at the company I worked for.

I stretch my arms upward and stretch out, now that I am free from the labor.

Ah, it feels so good to relax my stiff muscles.

What are you doing, big brother?

'Napping.'

Letty comes up to me and gives me a look of obvious dissatisfaction when I tell her once and for all.

'What? You slept enough in the morning, didn't you?''

''It's still not enough.''

Letty seemed to think she could talk and play with me.

Unfortunately, my schedule is full today. I don't have time for Letty.

'Okay, then. I'm going to visit my sister Ayla.

'Yes, yes, go ahead.

Lettie, perhaps realizing that I would not play with her, runs outside.

It seems that she has gone to play with Ira, my childhood friend.

Ira is a good friend of Letty's and their houses are not far from each other. I'm sure she'll come back after playing with Letty for a while.

I go back to my room and lie down on my bed.

Ah, it's so nice to be on a soft futon.

It's as if the fatigue of my body, which has been working since this morning, is being sucked out of me.

I roll over as if to check the elasticity of my bedding.

How wonderful it is to have a proper rest period.

After all, we are not designed to work long hours.

It is best to work moderately and live moderately. Scheduling proper breaks is the most efficient and healthy way to work.

With this conviction in my heart, I plunge my consciousness into the depths of darkness.
