Apparently, a nobleman is staying at our inn.
　It is customary for noblemen to stay at more luxurious lodgings, but it seems that they have known the nobleman for a long time.
　.........to be exact, my parents once received a request from him as an adventurer.

　From that connection, he seems to have known my father-in-law, the owner of this inn, as well.

　I've met him too, but that was probably before I was five years old.
　So I didn't remember it at all.

''Lelius, have you finished cleaning room 201?

　My father-in-law looked somewhat nervous about the fact that a nobleman was coming this evening.
　The room I prepared was room 201.
　It's the room where I made the bed again before.

　Well, it's not the only room I rebuilt. It's all the rooms.
　But room 201 was the only one with an S bed, and the others were B and A beds.
　The most comfortable bed was the S-rated bed, so I had left room 201 for the nobility.

　That said, I was uneasy.
　........All of the furniture in this room was rebuilt by me.

　I had made them all S-grade top-of-the-line, but would they really be accepted by the nobility?

''All the furniture Lelius has prepared for me is a great hit with the guests, so it's fine.

　My mother-in-law tapped me on the shoulder with a ton and smiled.
　

''Our usual guests are adventurers, but the ones who are coming are nobles.......''
''Don't worry, it's okay, even the A-ranked adventurers raved about it!　It's more comfortable than the beds in the fancy hotels I've stayed in before!　The chairs are very comfortable!　The food is just average!　She said!

　Hearing my mother-in-law's words, my father-in-law slumped his shoulders.

The ingredients are all different from those in a fancy hotel.
Oh dear. Your food is good.

　My mother-in-law smiled and I nodded.
　Then my father-in-law finally regained his energy and scratched his nose.

'They're going to be here soon, everyone get ready!

　We took my father-in-law's words as our cue and headed outside to meet him.
　Today, our inn is reserved for all.

　I've heard that not only the nobles are planning to stay, but also their knights-in-arms.
　Because of that, my father-in-law was fired up from this morning.
　He would definitely have to make it a success.

　I glanced at Mea-san who was next to me.

''Mea-san, please don't be nervous.
"I know what I'm doing...!

　........I guess not. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has been entrusted with the task of welcoming them in this way, since Mea-san is the most handsome in our inn.

　A carriage runs through the city in the dark.
　It was slowly coming towards us. The carriage with the family crest on it was definitely the carriage.
　It belonged to the Schells family.

　I heard that he's a nobleman of a viscount, and he's the one who's been entrusted with the administration of this region.
　He's currently making the rounds of the territory.
　The one who came down from inside with the knight was a young man of about twenty years old.

　........He's younger than the person I've heard about.
　Maybe it's your son.

''........Oh!　Is that face any chance you're Lelius?
Well, uh yes, I'm Lelius.

　He smiled like a boy and approached me.

'I'm Crya Shels. It's been a long time. We used to play together when we were little do you remember?
Uh yes, sorry. I don't remember.
Ha, that's all right. You were about three years old at the time, weren't you?　You got your father's eyes.
...I see.

　They say a little bit of happy.
　But I can't stay happy.
　She glanced at Mare and grinned at the inn with a drawn-out smile, pointing her hand in the direction of the inn.

"Oh, that's right!　Hey, over here!

　
　But it's not like he's angry.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

It's been a long time since I've seen you. I used to have not many girls who would play with me, so I miss it.
...Is that right?
Yes, that's right. I'm a nobleman, even though I'm a viscount. The children of the fiefdoms still kept their distance. Their parents didn't get too involved in it.
That's true........but don't you think it's inevitable that we get nervous when we hear the word "aristocrat"?
Don't say that. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a good thing that the previous nobleman who was in charge of our company was a badass person, and that's probably one of the reasons why everyone is so scared of the nobility.
''Well that certainly might not be an option,''
"So, well, my demons and Relius were the only people I played with. It was really fun having your parents take me monster hunting with you... Oh, I'm sorry about that. I've often been called insensitive.
No, it's fine. Just don't worry about it.

　It was clear enough from the last few minutes of the exchange that he didn't go there with any ill intentions.
　He is a man who likes to talk, though, so he ends up showing me inside while I'm listening to him.
　He takes me to the dining room and brings the food there.

　It's like a light banquet, including the knights.　
　The whole time I'm seated with Mr. Cryer, listening to him talk.
　The alcohol seemed to have already gone around, and Mr. Cryer was looking at me with a red face.

''Well it's hard to be an adventurer, isn't it?''
'Well......... I'm a 'blacksmith'.
That's ... unfortunate. Come to think of it, the child of this inn was a 'brave man' as I recall, right?

　As expected of his own territory, he seems to know a lot about it.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

''Yes.''
We've found a lot of other 'brave men' this year.
Everything seems to be getting pretty exciting upstairs.
'Well, yeah. I can't help but wonder if it's a sign of something terrible happening.
No way, sir?
Yeah, it is. Why do you think God gave us jobs and tools?
Because we need that power in this world?
Yeah, that's it!　So that's it!　What's going to happen in there that might require the power of a hero!　And five of them!

　...that's for sure.
　If you think about it the other way around, that's a possibility.

Well, I hope it's a groundless fear on my part. Huh........I'm getting sleepy....

　Mr. Cryer stretched as he put his hand over his mouth.

''The room you'll be staying in today will be room 201. Would you like me to show it to you?
Hmmm, sure. It's time to go to sleep.

　Mr. Cryer stretched and then stood up.
　Quickly, two knights came to support Mr. Cryer.
　I show them to room 201.

　As soon as I enter the room and carry Mr. Cryer to the bed, he closes his eyes.
　When the knight saw this, he looked at him in surprise.

''Kuh, you said that Mr. Claia fell asleep in an instant?
''........Is it really that surprising?''

　The knight sounded surprised and then held his mouth.
　They quietly left the room, and I followed suit.

''Well Master Cryer is quite a nervous person. He couldn't sleep if the pillows were changed, so I had to get them ready for him.

　...I see. That's a bit surprising.
