We entered the room and sat at the dining table for four. As expected from a fairly reasonably priced inn, the chairs were quite comfortable. "Sakyura." "Yes." "Did you sleep well?" "Yes. Thanks to you, I slept well." "I see. That's good."
"Charles, you seem to have been awake all this time. Aren't you tired?" "When I was exploring the dungeons, it was common to stay up all night for several days. If you compare it to that, it's no problem." "I guess being an adventurer is tough..." "It was tough, but I did it because I liked it. No one forced me to."
In my case, it wasn't so much to earn money, but rather to seek out strong opponents. Even though I knew it was a bad habit. As we was talking like that, there was a knock on the door.
It seemed the waiter had brought some snacks. I thanked him and accepted them. "It's been quite a while since you last ate. Are you hungry?"
"Well, maybe I'm getting a little hungry."
"In that case, let's eat right away. I'm starting to feel hungry too." So after washing my hands, I reach for the light meal of thinly sliced meat and vegetables sandwiched between bread. I chew it slowly, savoring the taste. It's quite expensive, but it's delicious.
The vegetables were fresh, and the meat was of high quality and carefully processed. "Sakyura, does it taste good?" "Yes, it's delicious. I can't believe it was made so easily."
"That's good. I'm glad to hear that the Braidea territory is doing business honestly." I answer while savoring the food. "As Charles says, the Braidea territory is a relatively wealthy region, but what about other countries?" "That's right. In some countries, half the population is poor, there are very few wealthy people, and the rest are middle class. The wealthy people literally live a life of leisure." "So, there are countries like that..." Sakyurama has a sad look on her face.
"The rich will continue to prosper, while the poor will starve to death. Unless we stop the exploitation by the wealthy, there will be no bright future.”
"We were lucky enough to be able to live a decent life even as orphans..." "The king is someone who looks to the future above all else. Even if we're not completely satisfied, I think he's made sure we can live with the bare necessities."
"As Charles said, there were some inconveniences, but we weren't so hungry that we had nothing to eat."
"Hmm. So, are they getting enough to eat?" "Yes. The girls are. I often hear that the boys don't have enough." "They're still growing. I appreciate your valuable opinion. I'll think of something." "Yes. Thank you." "Anything else?"
"The thing we were missing the most was clothes. And bathing for the girls."
"I gave the clothes today, so I'll put that aside for now. Tell me more about bathing." "Yes. It's fine for the boys, because they can go to the river or somewhere else during the summer." "Yeah."
"The girls cannot afford to do so. They really need to take a bath."
"I suppose so." "We gather firewood together, but that's not nearly enough." "The immediate task is to prepare meals for the guys and give the girls a bath. I'll think about it." "Thank you."
While we were talking like this, Sakyurama and I finished off half of our snacks. "Well, now that we've had our fill." "Yes." "Shall we go to bed?" "Yes..."
Sakyurama's cheeks flushed as she replied. After our date, she seemed to have gotten used to me, or rather, to men, but she couldn't hide her nervousness at the thought of what was to come.
And so, we decided to entrust our bodies to the bed.
