After touring the city of Kikka to the fullest, we ended up staying at the luxury inn that Tory had arranged for us that day.

'It's been a long time since I've had a bed.......!

　After the employee giving me a tour of the room left, I dove into the fluffy bed.

　The bed catches my weight and makes a creaking sound, making my body rebound.

　I pounce on the bed, savoring the feeling of such a bed's unique elasticity and soft bedding.

　As expected of a high-class inn for nobles and merchants. Not only is the room spacious and has a soothing atmosphere, but the bed is large.

　There is no problem for two adults to sleep together, and the beds are large. Two such beds.

　It would make a bigger bed if we joined them together.

　I came up with such a wonderful idea and pulled the extra bed together with an unmagical psychic.

　And connected. This made the bed, which was only a large one, into a wider one.

　I roll around in a rumble to check the size of it.

　The feeling of the futon sinking into my body as it wraps around me is comforting.

　When I lay on my stomach, I could smell the pleasant floral scent and the faint scent of the sun.

　Just smelling this fragrance is enough to relieve the fatigue of the trip.

　I've been sleeping in a simple tent or a blanket after leaving the village of Koliat. I didn't feel well-rested.

　I can sleep anywhere, but I'd rather have a bed with soft bedding. It's indoors, so I feel safe and there are no bugs.

　Well, I enjoy sleeping, even in inconvenient places, as much as I can, but there were times when I got sore in the middle of the night because I'm still a child.

　However, this bed will allow me to sleep well tonight. I wouldn't have to wake up and moan about my back hurting or my back hurting.

　He shifts from his prone position to a gurgling position and turns onto his side.

　When I look out the large window, the sun is already tilting and the sky is becoming darker.

　You can see the light from the magic tools gradually popping up from the buildings that line the street.

　It's fun to watch the light come on one by one.

　While I was lying in a daze like that, gazing at the night scene, I heard a noisy voice from the corridor.

''Oosh!　I'm in the back bed, man!

'What?　Don't be silly, Irvine. You're not a good sleeper, and I'll be in the bathroom in a minute, so just use the one at the entrance.

It's good!　That's what you said, and you made me stay near the entrance the other day, too. This time I want it in the back!

　Apparently, Irvine and Malt are tangling over which bed to use.

　It seems that it's the same in other worlds, too. It sounds like a fun school trip.

　But I don't want to sleep with those pushy people.

Then I'll take the middle bed.

"'Wait!　Mr. Rumba, please go to the back!

Oh, yeah?

　A single voice from Lumumba solidified Irvine and Malt's opinion.

　Rumba is a great snorer. They would want to keep him away from it as much as possible.

　So I suppose the remaining two will have to fight for the entrance to get as far away from Roomba's snoring as possible.

'I'll take the entrance bed then. I'm not a good sleeper, and I'm close to the bathroom.

'No, no, no, no, last time I saw you, Irvine was the entrance.　Then this time, Irvine should be in the middle. You wanted to use the back bed, didn't you?

Hey, you just said something different...

You're the one who wanted to go in the back...

　........haha, it's an ugly argument.

　I let out a sigh in anticipation of the conflict that is about to rage.

　By the way, the ladies are upstairs, so they're probably changing into their pajamas and having a glamorous conversation right now.

　Amidst the ugly cursing, the corridor suddenly went quiet as I imagined the flower garden on the upper floor.

　Oh, is it over already?　My prediction was that it would devolve into a drinking contest or a pillow fight to settle the matter?　

　No voices came from the hallway at all. Even if there was some kind of negotiation, it's those guys, so they'd be making some kind of noise about it.

　.... strange. It's like the calm before the storm. However, as if to blow away such doubts, my sixth sense, which was cultivated during the battle with Elinora Sis, is sounding the alarm bell.

　Following my sixth sense, I immediately jumped out of bed and stuck to the door in my room to listen.

''........Alfried-sama's room should have had two large-sized beds. If we joined them together and lined them up, there would be plenty of room for the two of us to sleep in them.

'I see. If it's the child Alfried-sama, it's small and there's enough space for us to enter....... But is it possible to share a room with a nobleman?

'Master Alfried is a generous man, unlike some of the bad aristocrats out there. Maybe you can go.

I see. I guess they'll just let me sleep it off, once I've broken into the room.

　I can hear the sound of a robe rubbing with whispers such as

　That bastard, he's trying to invade my sacred territory.

　Moreover, he's trying to use the bed in the confusion, taking advantage of my kindness.

　We're going to have to come up with a workaround. You can't let them in my room.

　I took my ear off the door and locked it immediately.

　The sound of the lock slamming echoes down the hallway.

''Ah!''

　Then he immediately turned off the lighting by the mages and dove into bed, hearing the slightest bit of surprise from Irvine and Malt.

　Then there was a slamming sound down the hallway.

'Hey!　Master Alfried, are you awake?　Hey!

'I've got a fun game you might like to try.　I think Master Alfried would fit in too!

"So open this door!

　They slam the door and raise their voices as they slam the door. They are desperate to ensure a comfortable sleep.

　Of course, there's no need to go along with it, as their true intentions are obvious. Let's just decide to go to sleep in a raccoon dog. I want to get a good night's sleep, too.

"Hey!　I know it's still happening!　You're a smart guy!

'Locked up and turned off the lights less than ten seconds ago!　You sleep too well!

　I'm a kid. I fall asleep very quickly. I've always been a good sleeper.

　I lay in bed like that for a while, closing my eyes for a while.

Sir. Please be quiet for the sake of the other guests.

I'm sorry.

　The two of them were shouting noisily in the corridor and were naturally warned by the hotel employees.



　◆


　The next morning.

　After breakfast at the hotel, we left the city of Kikka for the port city of Esports in the Kingdom of Ardonia.

　We said goodbye to our cozy bed and spent another four days wrapped up in blankets and sleeping in a simple tent. And a week of sea travel from there.... Even if it's for the sake of Japanese food, there's a big wall standing in the way.

　It's tempting to go back to the mansion for the transfer.

　Thinking about that, I climbed up to the top of the carriage to distract myself, and I found the first guests.

　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

You're not looking good, are you?　Did you get any sleep last night?

"...you son of a b*tc*. How dare you stay awake yesterday?

　When I casually called out to him, Irvine turned his pale face to me.

　Maybe it's because he has an old face to begin with, but he looks even older.

　Malt also has a similar look and is rubbing his eyelids sleepily.

　It was obvious that the two of them hadn't been sleeping well.

'Then I came back to my room and found Mr. Roomba had linked the beds together and set up in the middle.

　Perhaps one stranded Roomba would make a big bed if this bed was coupled together!　He must have come up with a target.

'He's snoring so loud, he's rolling around and tangling around in a rumble. I didn't get a wink of sleep....

　Molt muttered with a somewhat distant look in his eyes.

　It was easy to imagine the way Rumba's huge body rolled over the bed and entwined his arms and legs around me.

　That huge body was on top of me, but it was the last. It's not going to be easy to pull it off.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out if the three of you bastards slept together on the river.

"....oh, no.

　They answered in a somewhat lifeless voice.

　A breeze blew on the roof, and drops trickled from Irvine's eyes.
