After flirting with Eleonora a bit, I bring everyone inside the inn. I do this for Eleonora's sake than everything else. We've gathered the attention of passersby, and Eleonora has become conscious of it to the point of lowering her face deeply to hide her face from everyone.
I can't believe a mature lady would act like a shy and timid girl. But, I find Eleonora's shy behavior enticing. I really want to push her down, but I hold that desire.
She's almost at her thirty but never experienced a masculine touch in her life. It's so sad, and as a hero, albeit unheroic one, I shall save her from her loneliness. I feel confident that Eleonora won't reject my advance. As long as I don't present myself as an asshole in front of her, she won't be repulsed by the idea.
As we walk to the receptionist's desk, my group gathers the attention of everyone in the room. Everyone in my group, except for Eleonora, easily disregards their stares. Eleonora is walking so closely next to me as if hiding herself from the attention.
We stop in front of the female receptionist who greets us amiably.
"How could we help you?"
"How much is the fee for one night?"
"We have a couple of choices. There are normal rooms with 5 pieces of silver per night. For the luxurious room, we rent them for 50 pieces silver per night."
"Could you explain the difference and what I can expect with each choice?"
"Well..." The receptionist answers my inquiry patiently.
I find that the luxurious room has a bathroom, air conditioner artifact, exclusive room service, queen-sized bed, and other features that fit its expensive price. Meanwhile, the normal room is no different than the rooms rented in other inns at a lower price. Normally, the normal room only costs 1 piece of silver per night. The reason why it's expensive is due to the security of the inn.
"Alright," I make up my mind, "We shall rent two luxurious rooms for two days and two nights."
I discretely create several gold coins under my coat and place them on the counter.
"Very well, then. Could you write your name in this book?" The receptionist opens a heavy book on the counter and pushes the inkwell with a quill to me.
I nod noncommittally and start writing my name. After that, the receptionist hands over two keys to me, calls another staff, and tells them to lead us to our room. Then, we follow the inn's staff.
"Should we really rent the luxurious room, Your Holiness?" Eleonora asks on the way.
I turn in her direction, noticing that she has a troubled expression.
"Don't worry about it. By the way, here's your room's key. You will share your room with Mei while I share mine with Artemis. You wouldn't mind, right?"
"I don't mind."
"No."
Eleonora and Mei answer easily.
We arrive in front of our rooms. They are facing each other. After the inn's staff left, I speak to Eleonora and Mei. "After you two finished settling in, go to my room. We need to talk."
After they agreed, I bring Artemis into our room. Eleonora and Mei enter their own room. Artemis quickly releases her hold on my arm and makes her way to the bed. She collapses on the bed.
As Artemis is making herself comfortable in the bed, I inspect the room. There are many interesting things to discover, such as the air-conditioning artifact that needs magic energy to active.
"Hero," I shift my attention to Artemis after hearing her call, "Are we going to have sex now?"
I almost slip off because of her blunt question. I look at her in fond exasperation. Despite her flat expression, her amber eyes are shining with expectation.
"Tonight, maybe..."
"Tonight..."
I have a hunch that she feels disappointed. But, it's hard to discover from her bland tone and emotionless expression.
"Promise me..."
"I promise. We can have sex tonight."
"Okay..."
I heard a sound of knocking and turn in the door's direction. When I'm about to ask who's that on the other side, I hear Eleonora's voice.
"Your Holiness, may we enter?"
"You may."
After my answer, the door is open. Eleonora enters my room, followed by Mei. I invite her to sit down on the chairs around a small tea table in the corner.
After we, except for Artemis who stays in the bed, settled in our seats, I ready myself for the talk.
"Let's talk about our schedule." I receive their undivided attention, "Since it's almost noon, we won't hit the field today. However, there are many things to do. First, I need to arm you with proper gear."
I create equipment for them. It's not normal equipment. If they appraise the items, they will find that every piece has Legendary Rarity with ridiculous equip bonus.
For Eleonora, I create a sexy outfit that shows her cleavage and has two slits on the lower part that show her meaty thigh. There are also a headdress, white stockings, and a pair of white boots. I base the outfit appearance from Dress of Heaven used by Caster Irisviel from Fate/Grand Order. I also add a skintight leotard to keep her off refusing the outfit because of how much her skin will be shown off.
Then, I create a short scepter that will boost her magic, MAX MP, and MP recovery. Since I never planned to use it for fighting, I'm not violating the Legendary Weapon's regulations. Still, I sense a sharp gaze from the bed.
When I turn in the direction of the source of that sharp gaze, I find Artemis watching me with an intense look as if daring me to use the scepter to fight. I can't help but smile wryly.
She's extremely possessive!
I avert my eyes away from her, looking at Eleonora. After placing the scepter on top of the pile, I say, "They will be your equipment. You can appraise them."
Eleonora hesitantly takes the scepter and appraises it. She immediately fumbles and almost drops the scepter. She timidly puts the scepter, gives me an incredulous look, and then inspects other items. She reacts exaggeratedly and shoots me a disbelieving stare after inspecting each piece.
To be honest, I like the feeling of having 'wow' her.
