There was no way he could get in now, and Red could still feel the gaze of the nearby patrol teams staring at him.
Carrying a drunk person who looked like a little girl was already suspicious enough.
If he used Magic to open the door, they would probably rush over and pin him to the ground.
And so, Red began to think.
“I definitely can’t just carry her back home. If Litt comes back, it’ll be hard to explain… “
Although Litt had been very busy lately and it was unlikely she would come home, what if she happened to return tomorrow morning?
If she found an extra Monkey in his Room, how on earth would he explain that to her?
But if he didn’t take her home, how else was he supposed to settle this girl who was sleeping like Peppa Pig?
Staying here all night probably wasn’t an option, but leaving her here didn’t sit right with him either.
After thinking it over… did he really have no choice but to carry her home first?
Red’s thoughts were in a whirl, and just then, a voice sounded from behind him.
“Don’t panic, Red. I have a good idea.”
Looking back, he saw that Mason had stood behind him at some unknown point.
He adjusted his glasses and, like a strategist, gave the most reasonable suggestion.
“You two should go open a Room.”
As soon as those words were spoken, they immediately attracted the gazes of countless patrol teams.
Scared, Red hurriedly defended himself, “You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want! I don’t have any designs on her at all, okay!”
“Where are your thoughts even going?”
Mason wore the expression of a wise man.
“What I mean is, since you’re worried about Litt finding out if you take her home, why not just take her to a hotel?”
“How is that any different from what you said before?”
Red supported Letia with one hand while sticking his middle finger up at Mason with the other.
Because of this guy’s two sentences, at least three patrol teams nearby were now looking their way.
“Of course there’s a difference. Monica and I often go to hotels to sleep. Do you think I’m just opening a Room with her?”
Hearing this, Red fell silent.
Recalling the services Mason had ordered at the Roleplay shop, he silently replied with two words, “Hard to say.”
“But besides a hotel, you don’t have any other good places to go, do you?”
Red naturally agreed with Mason’s words, but he only let out a sigh.
“How could I not have thought of that? You going to a hotel with Monica and me going to a hotel with this girl are completely different things, okay?”
“Just think about it. If you were a hotel Owner and you saw someone carrying a drunk person who was only 145 centimeters tall and unconscious, could you really resist calling the police?”
“That does seem to make sense… “
Mason was also a bit stumped for a moment, while Need Red continued.
“Can’t you just help me open the door?”
“About that,” Mason immediately put on a face of extreme righteousness, “there are a lot of patrol teams nearby. I don’t want to go to jail for breaking and entering, thank you.”
“You freaking…”
Before Red could say anything else, Mason thought of a good idea.
He punched his palm and, finding a black cloak from somewhere, draped it over Red.
“Isn’t this better?”
“…Even though the cloak is large, if you cover us like this, anyone who looks closely won’t be able to hide the fact that I’m carrying someone on my back, okay!”
Regarding Mason’s suggestion, Red clearly felt it wouldn’t work.
“If I really get caught, I’ll look even more like a kidnapper! This is worse than just going in openly!”
“Emmm… I thought of a good place. Follow me.”
Seeing Mason’s confident look, Red could only choose to trust him in the end.
After all, he really didn’t dare move Letia into his own home.
If Litt saw that, he would never be able to explain himself for the rest of his life.
Under Mason’s lead, the group of three arrived at a hotel.
Mason first signaled for Red to stop, then went inside the hotel alone.
He quietly gave the Owner something and seemed to say something.
His voice was very low, and Red couldn’t hear it at all.
After a while, Mason walked out and gave Red a thumbs up.
“It’s settled. Go book a Room.”
“…… Really? Thanks.”
Although he didn’t know how Mason had settled it, Red still thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
Under Mason’s lead, he walked inside while carrying Letia.
Perhaps because he had a guilty conscience, Red felt a bit of an ordeal in his heart.
Fortunately, the hotel Owner acted as if he hadn’t seen anything and asked Mason:
“Are you staying the night?”
“Yes, … give him a double Room.”
Mason pointed at Red beside him.
“I don’t need one.”
The hotel Owner wore a fawning smile and rubbed his hands together.
“Sorry, we… don’t have any.”
Seeing this, Red also hurriedly spoke up.
“Then give us a triple Room. Money is no object.”
He just wanted to throw Letia onto a Bed and then get some good rest.
As for why not just get a single Room, leave Letia there, and run?
Because even though this was Nightbright Town, the security at night wasn’t that great, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many patrol teams.
Red also felt uneasy, so he planned to stay with Letia until she was at least a bit more sober.
“Sorry, we don’t have those either.”
The Owner’s words actually stumped Red.
It wasn’t peak tourist season, and there weren’t any religious festivals in Nightbright Town recently, so how could business be so booming?
“Then how about two single Rooms?”
“Sorry, we’re full. Single Rooms… we have none.”
“Then what do you have left?”
Having finally encountered an Owner who wouldn’t call the police immediately, Need Red didn’t want to care about anything else.
He just wanted to open a Room quickly and get some rest.
“We do have a Big Bed Room, and since you’re lovers… it shouldn’t matter if you sleep in one Bed.”
Red waved his hands repeatedly and corrected him.
“No, no, no, we aren’t in that kind of relationship.”
“Oh, it’s fine if you’re just hookups.”
Red originally wanted to argue further, but Mason stopped him and said:
“Just give him this Room. Here is the money for the booking.”
“Sure thing.”
A swift payment, a swift collection, and in less than three seconds, a Key was produced and handed into Red’s palm.
If there wasn’t something fishy going on here, Red wouldn’t believe it even if he died.
Just as he was about to question Mason, he realized the man had already disappeared.
Red felt as though he had been set up, but after carrying her for so long, he just wanted to get some rest now.
So he went upstairs, opened the door, and after placing the girl he was carrying onto the Bed, he lay down beside her.
“Whew~ this Bed is actually pretty nice.”
One undeniable point was that the Bed was indeed very large.
Even for a young couple, it wouldn’t be a problem to have a dry and wet separation on one Bed.
Just as Red’s thoughts were wandering, Letia gently grabbed his arm and let out a soft mumble like a small animal.
“Help me take off my Stockings… “
“Sleep in them.”
“Uncomfortable… “
For some reason, at this moment, Red felt like he saw Litt’s shadow in this Monkey, Letia.
It’s pretty funny that this problem is entirely due to Letia’s dishonesty and Litt trickery.
