For Our Happier Path

With autumn continuing to be at its peak, Kubota Inn didn't stop receiving guests from all over the country.

Most of them came to witness the autumn foliage of the coastal town. The festivals also were still ongoing in several different places.

"Tell the kitchen that the guests in the Camellia Room request additional dishes for breakfast tomorrow. They chose to dine in the room instead of the dining hall."

"The Chrysanthemum Room needs two extra futons. They are for the children. Don't forget to bring out the blankets too."

"The guests in the Wisteria Room will go to the festival at Asagao Shrine tonight. Contact a cab for them. They have four people in total."

Mrs. Saeki was as busy as ever. She analyzed the flow of the inn as well as the requests extended by the residing guests. Despite having reliable subordinates, she still attended to each one of the requests personally.
