Su Yao had originally planned to spend some time developing the third floor of the dungeon, but now it seemed that plan would have to change.
After all, who could pass up the chance to meet the beautiful girl version of Arthur?
Not only did she not show any hostility after learning Su Yao was a monster, she even stepped forward to help her!
Not only that, Miss Arthur was incredibly strong!
It was the first time she had seen a human over level fifty, and since she was acquainted with Uzo, her identity was surely reliable.
If she could become friends with her, that would be the best outcome. Or rather, she absolutely must become friends with her!
When people mention “King Arthur,” most would immediately think of the beautiful swordswoman who shouts “Excalibur” and unleashes a gigantic beam of light, right?
Although the Arthur in front of her didn’t have a “Special Weapon” yet, if she invested now, perhaps in the future, she’d become “Saber.”
Maybe she should just hold a “Holy Grail War” right here in her dungeon town? That wasn’t out of the question, was it?
No, on second thought, she should probably forget it—the power of “Gas Leak” was far too great. Her cute little town couldn’t handle that kind of devastation.
“Please come in. This is currently the best room available at this inn. It was originally prepared for Nobles and the wealthy, so the price is quite high. But since you’re here on Mr. Uzo’s recommendation, I’ll only charge you two gold coins per night for both of you~”
Introducing rooms to customers was usually Rosa’s job, but given the special circumstances, Su Yao was personally showing Arthur and her companion the Business Room.
It was a rare chance to improve her standing with these key characters—she couldn’t let it slip by.
“No wonder this is a monster-run inn. Two gold coins for one night? Why don’t you just rob us instead!”
“Leya!”
Though Miss Arthur called out to the girl named Leya again, the other didn’t seem to think she’d said anything wrong.
She looked at Su Yao with eyes full of hostility, and when she glanced at Miss Arthur, her gaze held a trace of… resentment?
Su Yao was sure she hadn’t done anything wrong from beginning to end. Why did this fellow loli show her so much hostility—was it racism?
“Please forgive my companion’s rudeness just now. Still, I am a little curious. While this room is clean and elegant, it’s not exactly luxurious. Isn’t two gold coins a bit expensive?”
“I see. Please, follow me.”
Skepticism was only natural. When setting the price, Hilvi had raised objections based on her experience running an inn—but that was before she used the Bathroom.
In a setting like medieval Europe, even for Nobles, water and sanitation were a major hassle.
To Hilvi, the fact that this room had a Bathroom put it far above most luxury inns in this world.
But for first-time guests, unless they experienced it for themselves, they would never understand.
That was precisely why staff would introduce the rooms—so that guests could appreciate the inn’s “innovations” and willingly pay for them.
“What’s… all this for?”
Aside from the Dwarves who made them, only the guests and staff of this inn had seen the bathroom fixtures.
It was only natural that Miss Arthur and her companion didn’t recognize them.
“This is for dealing with certain… bodily ‘waste.’ And this is for bathing.”
Su Yao explained how to use the Flush Toilet and what to watch out for using colored water, then started filling the bathtub.
The entire process required neither mana nor magic, yet to outsiders, it was something only magic could achieve.
“This is truly an astonishing idea. Who invented these things? Was it the Dwarves?”
“The concept was mine; the Dwarves chose the materials and made them.”
“It’s not like you designed and made them all by yourself. What’s there to be so smug about?”
Heh, when she saw the bathtub fill with warm water, her eyes lit up, yet now she had to act all aloof.
This brat called Leya was really a handful.
With customers like these, it’s no wonder the “service industry” is so exhausting! But for Miss Arthur’s sake, she’d let it slide!
“These little inventions aren’t worth mentioning. Once you’ve finished looking, please follow me back to the main room.”
The Bathroom was just one of the selling points of this inn.
It was probably enough on its own, but thanks to her modern knowledge, Su Yao had several other “secret weapons” up her sleeve.
As mentioned before, apart from the style of decoration and the look of the furniture, all the rooms in this inn had one thing in common—comfort.
Room layout, lighting, furniture arrangement, cleanliness… All of these could improve “comfort.”
But if you had to name the single biggest boost to comfort, it had to be the “bed.”
A truly perfect bed isn’t just “soft”—it must also be “springy” while remaining soft.
The beds of this world couldn’t achieve the latter.
Under Su Yao’s guidance, the two guests entered a bedroom with two single beds.
“If you don’t mind, you can try lying on these beds.”
Fun fact: In her original world, the first Spring Mattress was invented in the nineteenth century by a company called Simmons. Before that, all beds were either too hard or too soft.
Just like this—when you lay down, the bed was soft enough to let your body sink slightly, yet bouncy enough to lift you back up.
That was the second major selling point of Su Yao’s inn.
“This is so comfortable… I didn’t say anything just now!”
Miss Arthur didn’t lie down, but just sitting down was enough for her to understand how wonderful the bed was.
Meanwhile, the brat couldn’t help but exclaim as soon as she lay down, but immediately corrected herself after coming back to her senses.
“I wonder if Miss Arthur and… Miss Lea are satisfied with this room? By the way, the two-gold-coin price includes a meal from the Labyrinth Tavern.”
“Who said you could call this lady—Miss—by her name? The room’s passable, but food from monsters? Forget it, I don’t trust it!”
“Thank you for your hospitality. The room price is fine. As for the meal you mentioned, is it mandatory?”
Damn brat! What do you mean you don’t trust food made by monsters? Now even Miss Arthur was looking wary.
“Of course not. But it’s getting late, and doesn’t Miss Arthur have an appointment with Mr. Uzo? You’d better hurry. As for Miss Lea, since the food from the Labyrinth Tavern is technically provided by me, I insist you don’t eat a single bite.”
“Who said you could use my name!…”
She threw a fit just for calling her name—forget about raising her favorability!
Brats like her were all “stubborn,” and unless you “trained” them a little, they’d never realize their mistakes.
And as for how to “train” her? That was simple. Once they got to the Labyrinth Tavern, Su Yao refused to believe that this brat could resist eating and just watch!
To borrow the name of a certain comic from her original world—Miss Lea, what comes next is the “Comic of Torture.”
