453. Suite room




 At night, with the lantern lights flickering quietly, I was facing the cell in what appeared to be a living room.

 I say "seemingly" because this is an inn.

 Probably the room that is on the top floor of the tallest building in the city and occupies one floor.
 Inside the room is a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom with a king size bed.
 There's also a bathroom, and what a rare shower it has.

 Speaking of space - it's roughly close to 100 square meters.

 A suite.

 The moment I entered the room, that word came to mind.

 I'm sitting in that suite, facing the cell.
 On the table between us are the bills I've been dropping and raking in with californium.
 There were other large strawberries on a plate, but after eating one, I moved it to the side for now.

'In other words, it's an admission ticket - or a challenge ticket(,) I guess. Collect them and make that monster emerge with californium and knock it down to produce paper money. Is that right?

 He summed up the situation and asked Cell for an answer.

'That's right, Satou-sama. I fear for your wisdom.
There's nothing to be wise about.
By the way, it's something that nine out of ten people don't understand when they see it in person.
That much?
So much.

 Cell nodded with a straight face, a face that didn't feel false or exaggerated at all.
 Is that what it is ......?

'What Satou-sama described as an admission ticket is a fermium drop. And a rare one at that.
That's a pain in the ass.
'Exactly. That's why I'm asking you to do something about it, Satou-sama.
I see. ...... Then I'd like to see the fermium tomorrow. I can't decide what to do if I don't see it in person.
I do. ...... That's one of the reasons I invited Master Sato to join us.
Hmm? What do you mean?
You'll understand that in person, too.
Okay.

 I didn't ask any more.
 If you can see it in person, there is no need to question it here.

I'll see you in the morning.
Yeah.

 Nodding, Cell tried to get up and--

 Goton.

 A figure-sized statue fell from his pocket to the floor.
 Cell hurriedly picked it up, but it looked perfect.

'You work fast as always,'

 I chuckled.
 The statue is of the sight of me holding a carrot and giving it to someone else.

 I guess it's when I give the reward carrot to Eve, who I asked separately just now to open the transporter room.
 It's still quick, as usual, and I can't help but smile bitterly at the thought of when they're making it.

 Cell left the room with a mended smile on his face.

 I was the only one left in the large suite.

 The scene is quiet and still, and because the room is large, I feel a little lonely.
 I've grown accustomed to the saloon in the mansion, but it's a bit lonely to be alone in such a large room.

 Well, I guess I'll just take a bath and quickly go to sleep.

 I headed for the bathroom.
 It was a luxurious bathroom with glass walls and a night view.
 There were two bathrobes and four bath towels in there.
 Not only that.

'Awesome: ......'

 There was a large amount of toiletries that were prepared to the point of being a bit of a letdown.
 From toothbrushes, razors, and soap to cotton swabs and combs, they are all available.

 Moreover, everything is three at a time.
 It's like they even have a spare one.

 I somehow turned around and looked at the bedroom and living room connected to the bathroom.

 Everything is "over-serviced".

 Everything is overly prepared, even if you don't need it if you just want to stay overnight.

 It's luxurious - or rather, the word luxury fits well.

''Huh?''

 I was once out of the bathroom when something suddenly struck me.

 What an increase in the number of large strawberries that had been placed on the table when I came into the room, the welcome fruit - or should I say, the large strawberries, had increased.

 No, they were back to normal.
 When I walked into the room I ate one of them, leaving a spatula behind.

 That spatula was gone before I knew it, and the number was replenished to its original level.

'When did it happen ...... no way,'

 An idea popped into my head.
 I headed into the bathroom again, grabbed a razor from the toiletries and made a quick face.
 As it was, I took off my clothes and got into the hot tub, which was filled with hot water.

 After relaxing in the bath for about fifteen minutes, I got out - the razor I used earlier was gone again and a new one had been replenished.

'Awesome: ......'

 All the services are excessive and extravagant.

 The seriousness of the cell, the expectations and demands on me.
 That's where I felt it was jarring.
