So Natalia and I wandered from stall to stall, store to store, before buying some furniture to redecorate. We ate soup together, drank fruit juice, and looked at the clothes in the stores. After having a good time, we bought the things we needed to redecorate the house.

She returned to the inn and in the evening, the items she had bought for the makeover arrived.

Hey, Tori! When did you buy all this stuff! And to have it delivered to the inn!

No, it's not. That's what Natalia bought.

'Yes, yes, I bought it. I just wanted to change the furniture in my room.

I hurried to explain myself, and when Natalia said so, Mom calmed down.

'Oh, really? You must have been surprised by its sudden arrival.''

I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you.

In this world, mailing technology is not that developed, so it costs a lot of money to have goods delivered. The price is not something you can easily ask for, but it is a luxury.

That must have been a surprise to my mother.

You'd better tell her next time.

'Yes, sir.'

At any rate, my mother returns to work, relieved to know that I didn't buy and send it to her.

'Well then, let's go up and get your stuff.

'Okay, but will Tori be okay? These tables and stuff are pretty heavy, you know?

Natalia pokes the round table with her finger and says anxiously, "I'm sorry, but I don't know what to do.

I don't care if it's curtains or carpets, this round table looks a bit tight.

It's more than half of my body, and carrying it up the stairs is quite dangerous.

'Well, it's too much for me, and you're so strong, Mother...'

I thought of relying on her since she was right in front of me, but she gave me a sharp look.

I thought to myself, 'No, I'm not going to ask my father to ......'.

Just as she was thinking this, a black shadow appeared from behind Natalia and lifted a round table.

'Oh, Urgas. Can you help me?

'............'

Natalia asks, and Urgus nods his head.

It seems that Urgus is going to help us. It seems that a man as strong as Urgus can handle even a slightly steep staircase.

Thank you, Urgus. Then will you take me to Natalia's room?

I said this, and Urgus nodded his way up the stairs.

Natalia and I follow, carrying curtains, carpets, and a few small things.

When Natalia and I reached the second floor, Urgus was waiting for us in front of Natalia's room with a table.

Look, Natalia. Unlock the door for her.

It's okay. The door's unlocked, just break in.

No, it's not something to brag about. I mean, why didn't you lock the door?

I turned around and asked, and Natalia looked away.

'Because you lost it?

'......I warned you at the beginning that if you lost your keys, you should tell an employee, right?'

'Oh, was I right? It's been so long ago that I've forgotten.'

Natalia blurts it out, but of course I told her many times in the beginning. The keys to the inn are a matter of security and a valuable asset. If a key is lost, it must be made anew, at the expense of the guest.

Well, we can talk about this later. If you redecorate the room, you may find the key. But if not, you will have to pay for it.

'Yes, sir.'

Natalia, perhaps because she has money to spare, replies without a trace of remorse.

She is too cautious for a beautiful woman, isn't she?

At any rate, Urgus enters the room, followed by me and Natalia.

'Oh, just hang it by the window for now,' said Natalia.

Urgas was holding the table as if he were nowhere to be found, so I asked him to hang it on the wall by the window for now.

'Thank you, Urgus. Well then, let's redecorate.

I thanked him and was about to start redecorating when Urgas poked me on the shoulder.

'Hmm? What's wrong?

When I asked him what he was doing, he made a fist or made a motion as if he was lifting something.

I think that means he wants to help me.

'......!'

When Natalia said this, Urgus nodded in agreement.

'I see. Then you can help me too,' said Natalia.

And so the three of us began to redecorate Natalia's room.



Natalia's room was a mess.



Natalia's room is only a spacious one, and although it has a lot of clothes, it is not too difficult to organize them. Everyone adjusts the position of the bed and the chest of drawers, and Urgus puts the existing table into the storage room.

By the way, Natalia's keys came out from under the bed. It was covered with dust because it had been left there for a long time. It was a relief, because if I had lost it I would have had to go to the trouble of ordering a new one.

After a light cleaning of the room, I replaced the curtains, the carpet and the sheets of the bedding. The curtains are now a light green, and the carpet and sheets are a soothing navy blue. A round table like a fukusai is placed on top of it, a plant is placed at the end of the room, and small things Natalia likes to buy, such as small dolls, are placed on top of the chest of drawers.

I guess it's done now.

When I mutter something like that, Urgas claps his hands joyfully.

'...... this is my room, it's so different from before. The whole room seems to be a little brighter.

Natalia's room used to be mainly dark purple. It suited Natalia's hair color and image very well, but it was a bit too heavy.

The overall look was a little brighter, but still calm.

Natalia walks around the room with a sparkle in her eyes and lays down on the carpet in the middle.

'Oh, I love this carpet!

Perhaps because I was lying down so carelessly, the hem of my one-piece dress was turned up, revealing the most delicate parts of my body. I am a man, and there is also Urgas of unknown s*x here, so I would like them to be a little more careful. But when I see Natalia lying down comfortably, I feel like lying down too.

Come on, Tori! Isn't a carpet with fifty gold coins exceptionally comfortable?

Yes, this tousled carpet is of the very highest quality. It is made of wool from sheep-like demons and is said to be quite pleasant to the touch.



Natalia whispers devilishly to me as she hits the carpet, and I roll over.

Now to the fine carpet with fifty gold coins!

'Oh, this is the carpet that ruins people!

''Right? My eyes weren't far off the mark.'

The tips of the long, soft hairs gently caress my skin as they pass by. It's as if my whole body is wrapped in the soft fur, and once I lie down, I never want to leave.

I have never laid on a carpet like this before. This is the power of the carpet with 50 gold coins. .......

While Natalia and I were getting comfortable, I suddenly saw Urgus standing there, looking very itchy. I am sure Urgus would love to lie down on this carpet.

'Well, you can lie down after you take off your armor, can't you, Urgus?

'......!

Natalia says with a grin, and Urgus reacts with a start and then makes a thoughtful gesture.

Natalia sees him and giggles.

'Uh-huh, I'm just kidding. You can lie down here too. Just make sure you clean the dust off your armor with a cloth first.

Apparently, he was just teasing Urgas.

Urgus nodded happily as he heard Natalia's words, took a cloth from the porch and started polishing it on the porch.

'Come to think of it, Urgus' armor is always so clean, isn't it? I wonder if he takes care of it everyday, since he has tools for its maintenance in his room.

When I asked him this, he gave a thumbs-up while wiping his armor with a cloth.

Of course! That seems to be what he means.

'Oh, you've been in the rooms at Urgas before?

'Well, I'm an employee, so I go in to clean.

Oh, yeah. Then, when Tori cleans, I'll leave more underwear than usual.

'Just so you know, I'm basically in charge of Letty's room in Natalia's, right?'

Although it is not an absolute rule, the cleaning of the rooms is assigned according to the gender of the guests staying there. Well, since they are not in their rooms, they don't have to be so nervous, but it would be easier for them.

'...... I see, well then, let's show the innocent Lettie the adult tools--'

'Please, can you not teach my sister strange things?'

'Oh, what's so strange about it? Can you be more specific with your sister?

Oh, no, that's not what they say. I don't think I can beat Natalia in this kind of exchange.

As I grit my teeth, Urgus finishes wiping off his armor and lays down on the carpet nearby.

I wonder if he can tell how good the carpet feels through his armor.

'Urgas, does it feel good?'

'......!'

I ask, and Urgus nods his head.

Well, maybe the cushioning is felt, and it feels mentally elegant to think that I am lying on a carpet with fifty gold coins....

'Tori, that's a very erotic word--'

'...... Natalia. dead weight'.

'Yes, yes, I'm sorry. I was just trying to make fun of Tori.

Natalia apologizes to me, but she seems to be at peace with the situation.

Well, I'm glad you understood.

It's nice here, isn't it? I can live within the confines of this carpet with a low table in front of me without having to stand up.

'Natalia didn't seem to use the table much. 'Natalia didn't seem to use the table much.
I thought it would be better.

'That's very helpful. I'm the type of person who doesn't wear much makeup, and when I do, I can go to the store and have it done professionally.

Natalia is sometimes beautiful without makeup, and even if she did wear makeup, she looks good with a lighter look. The table was hardly ever used, probably because she would have had it professionally done at the restaurant.

So I decided to move the table out of the way and use a low round table to make the room more spacious.

'I'd rather sleep on the carpet now.

'I know how you feel, but let's sleep in a proper bed.







As I was lounging with Natalia and Urgas in the redecorated room, I heard footsteps coming from the stairs and the door opened.

'Big brother! It's time to help me work! Huh? Is this what Natalia's room looks like?''

'Letty, I know how you feel, but you have to knock when you enter a guest's room.

I know you are in a hurry because you want me to help you with your work, but don't forget your manners as an employee.

Ah! I'm sorry.

'Fine. I don't care about that.

When Letty bows her head, Natalia waves her hand and smiles, saying she doesn't care.

Did you think of this, big brother?

It's not so much that we thought of it, but we just discussed it with each other to make it easier to live here.

'Wow, that's great.

'Mmm-hmm, Lettie. This carpet is a luxury one, costing fifty gold coins, you know?

'What? Fifty gold coins! That's great!

Somehow I feel like I'm being praised more sincerely than my own initiative in redecorating.

Well, I can understand why you would think that a carpet with 50 gold coins is more impressive, can't I?

'Do you want to lie down? Comfy?

'Oh, sorry to bother you!

At Natalia's urging, Letty fearfully lies down next to me.

'Wow, ...... is amazing.'

Letty lets out a sigh. Her expression was pleasantly relaxed, and her eyes were closed as she enjoyed the carpet with her whole body.

'Hey Letty! Tori! Are we there yet!

Just when I was sure Letty had fallen too, I heard my mother's voice coming through from downstairs.

'Ha! I was! Big brother, dinner has already started and it's too hard for us to turn the tables on our own, so help me!

''Ehh.''



'What do you mean, big brother, you played outside today and had a good rest!

I lay down to sleep, but Lettie took my hand and woke me up.

I should have been bigger and heavier than her, but she woke me up easily.

I'm offended that she would play with me. I was just responding to the customer's needs as an employee.

'Just work!

My excuses fail, and Lettie pulls me out of the room.

'Oh, wait a minute, Tori.

'Yes, yes?'

When Natalia, a customer, calls out to Letty, Letty can't ignore her and stops. If I get further requests here, I might be able to skip work somehow.

Yes, I'll give you this grimoire. It's for today.

No, this is too expensive and I can't accept it.

'It's okay, because today was worth more than that to me. Thank you so much. Well, good luck with your work. Me and Urgas will come down for a bite later.

Natalia shoved the hot-water grinder toward me and closed the door behind her.

I guess it was a sign of Natalia's refusal to return it.

'I got something with hot water,' she said.

'Good for you. Mom has a stash of tea leaves, let's have tea together after work.

''Yes, that's right.''

Well, let's work hard today for a cup of tea at the end of the day.
