Standing at the center of the Martina Laffinato Hotel’s oversized lobby is a large, grand staircase. It’s luxurious enough to be used as a movie set, making it one of the highlights of the hotel.

The deep-blue carpet enhances the luxurious quality of the lobby and staircase. After we climb up the stairs to the fourth floor, the highest floor of this hotel, what leads before us is a corridor to the most lavish suite.

The suite that occupies more than half of this floor.

The head chef even personally serves us dinner in our suite.

The various dishes on the table look quite extravagant and appealing. Definitely enough to put a hole in the pocket. I don’t really remember the taste of them, too nervous throughout the entire dinner, but they’re probably delicious.

The leather sofa is also soft and yielding, enough for my butt to sink into.

A large window with a terrace hangs from the wall, the night view of the town visible.

Apart from this room, the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen, there are also rooms for reading and partying purposes. The paintings and furnishings displayed here have been specially ordered from the royal capital. At least, that’s what the chief said with a puffed out chest while serving us prior.

I inwardly vow to stay away from all things artsy.. I can’t even begin to imagine what would happen if my hand slips and breaks one of these treasures, the terrors I’d face. Thinking about the reparations already makes me feel dreadful.

And the other amazing thing about this suite is how it has its own water supply for the bathroom, washroom, and hall.

Even the magic-powered facilities work better than I would expect.

The town owns a water distribution pipe system capable of conserving and purifying water and directing water to designated areas on its own. By paying a monthly fee to connect to the pipe, a person would have access to the water. If they rather not spend money, they could either visit a public water distribution center or use their own well.

However, if someone wants access to water in their whole abode, they would need a large custom pipe system. It goes without saying that it’ll be expensive.

Many hotels can’t afford to supply all their rooms with water. However, the Martina Laffinato pays an arm and a leg each month for access to the thickest pipe from the municipal water distribution system. As such, all facilities and rooms are fully equipped with expensive water purification and distribution systems to ensure the uninterrupted supply of water.

In terms of comfort, this hotel is no different from the luxury hotels in my original world. Well, that’s my assumption. I’ve never stayed in a luxury hotel before.

Basically, the suite I’m in right now is meant for celebrities, a suite that can only be reserved by a rich person.

I can’t calm down at allllllll!!

I want to go home quickly. No, I want to go home now!

Ah, I need to bring my thoughts back to the present..

Sitting across an ornately sculpted low table from me, on another leather couch, are Captain Serpentine and Vice Captain Tetar. They’re talking to one another, voices low, the words escaping my sense of hearing. Perhaps they’re speaking of private matters.

Hey, don’t have secret conversations in front of other people. I feel curious now.

After they finish talking, the vice captain sighs before shrugging his shoulders. Then he stands up and makes for the kitchen.
