The morning greeting, "Let's have another day of hard work," as has become customary since the number of employees has increased, has been completed, and just as the breakfast for the guests has begun to settle down, it has come just as I thought it was time to start cleaning up.

　With the recent expansion of the inn, the road in front of the inn, which had recently been reviewed and was a bit of a big road, had been reworked - not as dimly lit as the back streets, which made it harder to be investigated and infested, and the criminal gangs' hideout around the inn, in the name of royal city health. The road in front of the inn, which was easy to demolish because it had been razed by Kyle and Kara, and the number of vacant houses had increased - the road in front of the inn, which had been demolished and widened to about the size of a main street.
　That road, a huge, dazzling, glittering, shiny, flashy carriage so huge that it looked like it might fill up, and the "If someone a little big enough to ride it, the axle would break, wouldn't it? Two ragged carriages arrived, accompanied by a pair of carriages that I was tempted to say, "I don't know what they are.

　The carriages, with their familiar symbols and familiar reliefs, stopped on the road in front of the inn, accompanied by a large number of onlookers.

''What's going on?!'' And as all the employees were walking out of the store, a man in another flamboyant costume got out of the flamboyant carriage.
　The flashy man gets out of the flashy carriage and goes straight to the raggedy carriage and opens the door of the raggedy carriage with a pompous motion.
　It's like a stage play.　The doors open as if to show the audience.
　When the door was completely open, the flamboyant man stepped back and hung his head reverently.

　At that moment, a murmur of onlookers spread through the city, which was beginning to come to life a bit.
　Yes, they all noticed.　Who the figure in the carriage was.

　Who the high priest, the head of the church, who comes to preach and is often seen, has to hang his head.


　The tension grows.　It would be obvious, another head of the church that we don't usually see is now about to appear before us.
　The four women who came out in front of the inn also show signs of nervousness.
　One woman comes out of the open carriage door and swoops out of the open carriage door.　That's right, it's [Goddess Priestess] 'Pamela'.
　Her every movement is elaborated and well-trained, exuding a gracefulness.　The church's proud disciplinarian must be a very good hand at making Pamela, who was originally a mere mortal on the streets, perform such elaborate movements.

I'm sure the church is very proud of its trained personnel. And so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on. I remembered a scene from a story I used to read in modern Japan, and muttered with a sigh.

'Huh, it seems to be a very common development....　I feel like it's very late...''


◇◆◇◆◇


　Pamela was puzzled when she got off the carriage.

　Hearing that there was a proprietor who had named his own inn with an incredibly profane name such as 【Goddess' Inn】, and who was amassing a fortune by committing to the full extent of his vices, he came to the royal capital with great vigor.　The exterior of the inn was not flattering, and by all accounts it did not look like an inn that people would flock to.
It looks as if "this is the inn of the goddess," or something like that, to attract customers, so Pamela headed for the inn with more enthusiasm.
　However, when we arrived at the inn in question, the first thing that came out was four good-looking women.
　Pamela, who was on the beautiful side, as she was said to have an appearance that somewhat resembled that of a goddess herself; Pamela, who knew that she was well-groomed and had no intention of being particularly modest, was the first to admit that even with her, she was a beautiful woman.
　They didn't look like the most vicious people by any means, and a little bit of justice in Pamela's mind wavered.

　It was all right until they dismounted from the carriage, but there was nothing they could do from there, and in a state of confusion, the best looking of the four women stepped forward and
　Welcome.　This is the Dragon Emperor's Lodging Tree.　I'm sorry.　If you're staying here, you'll have to make a reservation, but...
　I told her so.
　It was only that to the guest, and although she didn't have an ounce of respect for us, somehow it seemed to Pamela that the woman in front of her was a very nice person.

　The flame of justice that was in Pamela was slowly being extinguished, and she glanced at the High Priestess as if she didn't know what to do.　The High Priestess has been taking care of Pamela in some way since she was still a mere village girl, and even now that Pamela is a priestess of the Goddess, she still has the utmost confidence in him.
　Pamela gazes at the High Priestess with emotions like, 'Isn't that not what you said?　The High Priestess was there without wavering, even under her gaze.
　The High Priestess, who should have been aware of Pamela's gaze, seemed completely oblivious and kept her head bowed reverently.

　Having used plenty of time, the High Priestess begins to move slowly when the gazes are gathered on herself.　Yes, he returns one nod to Pamela, who gives him a puzzled look, and moves closer, whispering something into his ear.

　Each time the High Priestess whispers something, Pamela's expression becomes more and more grim.
　This was the moment when the flame of justice within her was rekindled.

　Pamela looks up and glares sharply at Kara.　For Kara, it was sudden and she didn't know what was going on, but thinking that it would be a nuisance to the guests who come to the inn if they were to be occupying the street in front of the inn for any length of time, she decided to wait for the other party to come out.

''I've found out that this place operates under the profane name of [Goddess' Inn]!　I hear you can't get enough of fooling around in the name of the goddess, and you're making huge profits from it!　As a priestess of a church that values poverty, I can't let you guys get away with it!　Get back in there!
　Pamela speaks up in one breath.
　Naturally, Kara had no idea what they were talking about, and the employees and onlookers all looked confused.

　So, thinking that they wouldn't listen to us in the first place if things went like this, Kara tried to argue with them.

I don't know what you are talking about.　To begin with, I said earlier that this is the 'Dragon Emperor's Lodging Tree'.　I don't remember flaunting it as the Inn of the Goddess, and we are not in the business of making enormous profits in the first place.

　It's an entirely reasonable response.
　And Carla's words are also true.　The rates are too cheap for an inn.　The employees also asked, ''How do you keep running the business? It's not an exaggeration to say that they were running a deficit, because the food they were serving was more expensive and not balanced.
　So Pamela's words raised a question mark in the minds of everyone, including the employees who knew the price of the inn and the townspeople who had come to watch the show.
　Kara's overly reasonable words of rebuttal, even after hearing those words, the flame of justice within Pamela did not waver even a millimeter.

'Ho.　Are you still going to cut your lashes at this point in time........

　Pamela's voice dropped a notch in tone and was surrounded by an intense divine spirit.
　If it was an ordinary demon, it could be erased with the pressure of words alone.
　In fact, there were some onlookers who fainted after being struck by the divine air.　It wasn't like they were directly hit by the divine energy.　You can imagine how strong the ki was in them.

　Well, I don't know what exactly brought him to this point in time, but I don't know what Pamela said....

　As expected, Kara isn't in a good mood after having the brunt of her anger, which makes no sense at all.　She thought about blowing him off immediately, but then she thought back and changed her mind, saying she had to talk to him properly once again.

　But before Kara could say anything else, Pamela moved.

　Quickly, she raised her hand and pointed it at Kara.

'Enough.　I'm here today to inflict [divine punishment] on this inn that has been certified as diabolical.

　Yes, I said it.
