Seein how my plan went awry, Ive decided to teach her the basics of adventurin myself. For me itd be no biggie to stay in a high-rankin inn, but since itd be bad for her education, I gritted my teeth and chose a cheap inn.

Its an inn where folks round D-Rank would stay, so its kinda iffy whether its the right place for a G-Rank, but I dont wanna stay at a really cheap place.

Anyway, apparently full of curiosity, she entered the inn cheerfully, and then opened the door while bein fidgety.

So she does have some cute parts, doesnt she? That behavior of hers perfectly fits her age

And then she suddenly slammed the door shut, and slowly looked up to me.

Tremblin like a newborn lamb.

No. Definitely, no! I cant stay in such a small and dirty place! Small and dirty is impossible for me.

Come on! Theres gotta be a limit to cleanliness, right!? If you had partied with those girls, youd be stayin at places much shabbier than this!

Just when I was about to scold her, tears welled up in her eyes all of a sudden.

Eh?

Shes cryin while quiverin all over!!

I want to go back to the forest.

G-Gotcha! Lets change inns. Its okay, Im an S-Rank, so we can stay at a higher-rankin inn. It should be okay over there!

Pullin her hand in panic, I rushed out of the inn after yellin, Sorry, were cancelin, in passin.

Shes loudly sobbing.

Whoa, just a sec, you didnt cry when bein abused, runnin across ferocious monsters, or gettin into a fight with a violent guy, but just because the rooms dirty, you start bawlin?

I felt flabbergasted, but to be honest, her finally actin appropriate for her age as a girl was cute.

Taking a cryin girl long with me earned me some harsh looks by the people round us. After walkin for a bit, we arrived at the high-class inn.

The folks at the reception scrutinized me, as might be expected, but I made them shut up by showin my card.

Give us your best room.

As you wish.

And then, after gettin there, I slowly opened the room.

I-Is this place goin to be alright?

She finally lifted her face and scanned the room. Timidly approachinshe suddenly let off some kind of magic art.

Hey!

Even while I tried to stop her, she cast one spell after the other.

Disinfection, Cleaning, and Washing finished. With these, it somehow passes.

When she was done, the room was so clean that it looked like new and would likely startle even a noble.

Lets camp outside from now on, after all. Its a waste to pay money for this room. If we use magic and tools, camping out will be much more pleasant than this. Lets do that, okay?

Gotcha. I dont care anymore, so do as you like. Sword gave me that irresponsible answer when I was sitting next to him, clinging to his arm while desperately persuading him.

I feel sorry for making him pay money because we didnt stay at the previous inn, but that one was a no. It was small, had no window, stunk, was dirty, and Im absolutely sure it was full of bugs.

Isnt it weird to take money for something like that? Youve still got space on your plot of land, so make the rooms bigger. Also, clean the damn place.

When I thought that, Sword grinned broadly.

Whats the matter?

I just thought that you finally act like a noble lady your age. To cry over somethin like a room bein dirty

Being reminded of it, I got scared and cried again.

Wai-! Im sorry! I wont tease you anymore! Sword was in panic.

Dirty and small is scary.

Gotcha. I understand, so dont cry anymore.

He frantically stroked me.

(Note: Going by standards of the other world, Indra is quite obsessed with cleanliness. Even during her time at the mansion, she used her cleaning magic for the rooms and toilet. Shes pretty good at tidying up with magic. But, there are limits when it comes to dirty rooms. If they arent clean to some extent, she wont even feel motivated to tidy them up herself.)
