Upon entering the Inn, I was amazed at how clean and organized it was.
From the outside, the inn looks snug (cozy), intimate and well maintained. Hard wooden planks and thick, stone beams make up most of the building's outer structure. It's near impossible to see through the small, stained glass windows.
As I entered the inn through the hard wooden door, I am welcomed by a nice aroma of something sweet.
I looked at Alice who's just released from her grandfather's hold and asked,
«What's the smell? It's good~»
—«I-it's the cookie I b-baked»
Alice answered,
«You don't have to be nervous around me, *whisper* your grandfather is scarier than me»
—Giggle
I got a cute giggle from her. How could an extra be this cute?
I heard a 'Mmm?' sound from my right, so I looked towards my right only to see the old man staring at me with his razor-sharp eyes while sitting on a chair.
«Hehe~ oops»
I awkwardly rubbed the back of my head then continued admiring the place.
Several walls support the upper floor and the huge lamps attached to them. The walls are littered with so many different nature painting.
Even if I know the reason why this place is not occupied with people, I still asked the old man,
«Err...this place is nicely decorated and clean but why isn't there a single customer?»
—Silence
The entire inn got silent.
«Err...you don't have to tell me if it's a sensitive subject»
Using this line that most of the protagonist used, the other party will definitely open their mouth hehe,
—«It is, so don't talk about it. Alice, can you show this brat his room?»
I was stunned, he simply rejected it off like that?! Should he sigh the explain the situation like many they did to many main protagonists in all kind of novel? Geez, This old man really break the logic.
—«Yes, f-follow me»
Alice came in, nodded her head to her grandfather then asked me to follow her,
«Sure~»
I followed her to the second floor. Without me knowing, the old man is looking at us with a smile before he muttered to himself,
—«Heh, to think that he is the first stranger Alice talked to after a year. What an interesting brat, a mage at such a young age. Let's see if you have all the qualities to inherit my technique brat. I hope you won't disappoint me»
He smirked with expectation in his eyes at the end of his sentence.
...
On the second floor was different from the first floor as this floor only have rooms and some painting. Walking past many rooms in the corridor, Alice stopped at the last room at the end of the corridor.
—Creak
Alice opened the wooden door, before entering it and said without stuttering,
—«This is your room, it also has a nice view for you to enjoy»
«That's nice, and you didn't stutter this time. Are you getting comfortable around me~»
I teased her, making her face turned red. How could a person's face turn that red?! Is she okay!
