The next morning when the weather was nice. Despite the normally lazy morning hours, there were a lot of voices outside the inn.

'We'll take it to the south port after we load it up!　Mr. Douglas and the others are already waiting for you!

"Yeesh!

　Under Tory's direction, the merchant members load the cargo into the carriages one by one.

　When the carriage is nearly full, the merchant member drives the horses to Mr. Douglas, who is waiting in the harbor. Then the sailors would load the cargo onto the ship.

　In other words, the ship can't leave the harbor unless we get the goods from here to the harbor quickly.

　The members of the Chamber of Commerce seem to be in a hurry.

　The members of the Chamber of Commerce seem to be in a hurry to get to the port, and I'm sitting in the corner of the entranceway, having already eaten my breakfast and packed my bags.

I said, "Hurry up, Irvine!　They say you won't make it at this pace!

I know!　I know, but this rice is so heavy!

　Irvine, who was carrying a bale of rice that looked very heavy, howled under his breath.

　The two members of the Silver Wind also seem to be forced to help in this way due to a lack of hands.

''If you have time to scream, then get on with it!

'Godd*mn it!　How many pieces of f*cking rice do you think I'm carrying?　Hey, Malt!　I'll take the lead for a minute, so you can take over!

'No!　I'm not going to have anything that heavy. If you're going to resent me, resent Master Alfried for buying a lot of rice.

　Hey, hey, you're waving it at me here.

　Irvine, who was carrying the rice, glances at me, but I just avert my gaze as if I don't know anything about it.

　Hmmm, no matter how much you complain about me, I'm just a little seven-year-old boy.

　It is useless to complain when you can't even call for help in carrying it.

　However, it's not good to say that the person who has made things so busy is not going to stand still, so let's at least give him a pep talk.

Good luck, Irvine!

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!　Besides, when you say that to Alfried-sama, the source of the problem, it seems like you're being agitated!

　Irvine says such horrible things about me, even though I supported him with all my heart.

'It's because you've got a crooked mind to think like that. Come on, take a lesson from Roomba!　Rumba is carrying two big ones at once!

　I point my finger at a Roomba carrying bales of rice on its shoulders.

　The amount of rice he carries on his shoulders is completely different from Irvine's. A single bale of rice looks like it weighs at least four times my weight.
Na.

''Don't do that with Mr. Roomba, who usually carries a big f*cking sword on his back!

Mr. Irvine, your hand is stuck. I need you to hurry up.

　A word of caution comes from Tory, probably because Irvine was only moving his mouth without moving his hands.

　Then, Irvine re-carries the rice while being miffed.

'..........In the first place, we are supposed to be guards, and this kind of chores are not part of our job!

Oh, no, no, you said at the beginning that you'd help me out a little bit.

　I'm sure Irvine said it in a casual way.

　This is why you shouldn't do something called a cheap contract at work.

　This kind of thing happened many times in the past life.

It's not a good idea to go on like this, though. We're behind schedule due to the fact that there are more packages than expected and they're heavier than expected.

　When I'm reminded of the corporate life of my former life, Tory gives me a somewhat reproachful look.

　Following that, Irvine, Malt, and even the merchant members give me the same kind of look.

　As I was looking for a place to escape their gazes, Tory unexpectedly came in front of me.

''What.......is it?''

Master Alfried, could you help me with this?

'What would you expect a helpless seven-year-old to do?　There's no way I'm going to be able to carry all that stuff--

I don't like it. Alfreet-sama has magic. You see, he's an unmagical psychic who can lift even heavy objects!　Don't you think that would make it easier to carry your stuff in an instant?

Psychics, you see, are a very difficult magic to deal with.

'I heard they used to psychic hundreds of snowballs in the village.　And Mr. Lumumba said he was floating a big rock the day before yesterday.

　I tried to duck lazily, but Torrie seemed to have figured out what level of psychic I could use through careful research.

　d*mn you, Roomba's blabbermouth.

'Oh no, if it were true, I should have finished unpacking earlier, right?　Someone is going to buy more stuff than you expected--

'Ah!　I get it now!　I'll help you, don't be so nebulous and attack me!

You're a lifesaver.

　When I agree to help, Tory, who had been smiling and saying things in a deliberate way, smiles innocently.

　Is this Tory's bargaining technique as the Chairman of Commerce?　

　That was a much more disgusting way to say it than I thought it would be.

　Is this level of stinginess and blackness still necessary to lead a large business association?

　Thinking about this, I stand up.

　When I see the packages placed in the yard and the front door, I psychic them all.

　When I put them under my magical control, I move them all at once and load them into the carriage.

　In the blink of an eye, the carriage was full of luggage.

　Of course, the heavy items are put down and the fragile dishes are placed neatly and gently on top. The consideration for the luggage is perfect.

'Is this good?'

''I thought it was a lie that you were controlling hundreds of snowballs with your psychic, but it's true.

　I turn around and ask Tory about it, and he says with a stunned look on his face.

　What, you didn't believe me?

　When I looked around, I saw that Malt had an anguished expression on his face, and Irvine was muttering as if he was rambling, "What the hell was my work.......

　That's what would happen if the magic ended it in an instant after all that hard work.

　Well, now I've met my responsibility for my overbuying.

　Now I won't be late for my schedule.

''Alfried-sama, if you have trouble eating in the future, you can always come to my house, okay?　You're hired to carry the bags.

That's not a very nice thing to say to a nobleman, is it?

　I'd rather work in an easier line of work. I'm afraid that if I worked as a packer in Tory's trading company, I'd be working myself to death.



　You know.



　After we finished sending our luggage to the port, we lined up to greet the landlady and other employees of the inn.

Thank you for all your help!

Thanks for your help!

　The voice of Tory, the representative, was followed by everyone bowing their heads.

'Thank you for your kindness, thank you too.

Thank you!

　When the landlady bowed her head in return, all the employees, including Sanosuke, bowed deeply.

　The gestures were so beautiful that we could not help but admire them.

　The inn is quiet and vaguely elegant, the employees are very witty, their gestures are beautiful, and yet they are happy to play table tennis with you.

　It was the best day when I could spend the days surrounded by such people. My stay was only about a week, but I feel like I could have stayed longer.

　That's how peaceful my time at this inn was.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.

"...When I come to Kagura again, I want to stay here, but I'd also like to stay at an inn that has something called a mixed bath.

'Yes. Maybe I'll invite some other male adventurers to go with me sometime.

Yes!

　It seems that Irvine and Malt still have a mixed bathing experience in mind.

　But if you invite other male adventurers, it will only increase the ratio of male adventurers, which is extremely uncomfortable.

　Well, let's not say anything about that.

　I sent a message to Irvine and the others in my mind, but I also wanted to thank the landlady in person, so I headed to her.

I'd like to thank you for this time, landlady. I'm an aristocrat, so it must have been hard for you to care for me, right?

It was easy for us to take care of him because he was so friendly and gentle, even though he was a nobleman from another country.

　The landlady smiles and says so with a smile.

'I just couldn't take my eyes off her because I didn't know what she might do, mixing in with a large group of pillow tossers without a care in the world, or suddenly using magic in the garden, but...'

　Oh, and speaking of which, I feel like the landlady or Sanosuke was definitely close by my side from the next day after I finished throwing the pillow.

'Eh, but when I say I can't take my eyes off him, isn't that Rumba or Irvine or Malt?'

'It's hard to say what they do in general, but it's still within the realm of common sense...'

　That makes me sound like I'm the most problematic person in the world, but is it my imagination?

　Well, okay. Now there's more to ask than that.

　It's about the ping-pong table.

　I had heard from Tory that it didn't need to be removed, but the landlady hadn't told me about it directly.

　I'm sure they could remove it without me, but it would be easier for me to do it without much effort and
Ruh.

'Oh, I just magically remembered that the ping-pong table I built in my garden really doesn't have to be removed?'

You can't just take them down!

　When I ask her that, the proprietress shouts in a screaming voice.

　Then all the eyes of the people around me gather around her.

　The landlady involuntarily blushes at the embarrassment of having shouted so loudly and the gathering of gazes.



'Yes!　We don't have permission from Nord-sama yet, so we can't really move around, but we can at least see how the guests react when they come to stay here!

Yeah,

　By allowing guests to play ping-pong at the inn, Tory could obtain data about the guests' impressions of the inn. The inn could provide guests with an unusual pastime, which could attract more guests.

　It is a win-win situation for both parties.

　The fact that the landlady and her staff like it has a lot to do with it, though.

When I come here next time, let's play table tennis together, okay?

'Yes, I'll be glad to have you on that occasion.

　The landlady and I laugh at each other.

　After we exchanged a final greeting, it was finally time to head to the harbor.

　We packed our bags and put them on the carriage, and then we got into the carriage ourselves.

''Well then, let's head out to the harbor!

　Then, as they all ride in, Tory raises his voice with authority.

　Then Gosha cracks his whip in unison and the horses begin to advance.

''We look forward to seeing you again,''

　The inspectors lined up in front of the inn and bowed deeply.

　We reached out the window of the moving carriage and kept waving to the inn and its employees.
