Back To the Beginning
What's with this Inn?

Some conversation happened with Chloe next. Seeing that his condition was still not so well overall, I told him to rest first for his recovery, while waiting for the return of Grandma, Milin, and Noland.

By the way they've been gone long enough, did they manage to find the doctor? even though Chloe is already conscious, it is better to let the expert who examined her further to find out the illness she suffered. I lack insight into the diseases of this era.

And after he has improved, I will ask what his previous attitude meant.

I left Chloe so she could rest in Grandma's room, and I went to the living room to wait for their return.

Unexpectedly, arriving in the living room I could already see all of them I was waiting for at the door. Noland, Milin, and Grandma were now in front of me with faces very confused by the conditions in front of them.

"Hello all of you, welcome back," greeted me calmly as if nothing had happened.

The door's broken, the floor's cracked, the table's smashed, maybe those things are what they saw. Huh, we're starting again.

"Arthurian... What's going on?" tanya Noland first raised a question while looking at the surroundings.

I was surprised because Noland asked first, not Milin who usually often wondered. He now only saw what was happening and slightly lowered his head. The grandmother behind him could only be stunned in silence.

From their attitude, it could be true that this has often happened to them but they do not know who did it clearly. I feel a little sorry for them. They don't know the culprit, they don't have evidence, and they have the money to report.

Not yet had time to answer the question from Noland, Grandma who was behind suddenly walked forward and lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Arthur, for showing us something inappropriate" she said, apologizing, accompanied by Milin's attitude towards Grandma.

Unable to see them bow, I quickly made up the topic so that their attitude was normal.

"Eh?! Its alright. I haven't said anything that happened, have I? So it's not your fault yet?"

"No, Mr. Arthur, this is certainly our negligence in providing comfort to you" Milin replied.

"Em, what is this?" ask Noland.

Looking at Noland who seemed to know nothing, I finally told him what happened earlier, with a little change in some of the events.

"HUH?! Anyone want to loot this inn?" noland exclaimed in shock after I told him some parts.

Grandma and Milin were silent.

Now we are all in front of the table to make the conversation more comfortable and relaxed.

After I finished telling you everything I looked up at Grandma and Milin and started asking them.

"Miss, and Milin. Has this ever happened before?" I asked by trying not too hard.

"Yes, Mr. Arthur. We have experienced this several times" Milin replied. "... But at that time there were no broken items, just a mess. It must have been worse than usual" Milin said.

Well actually if I hadn't provoked their anger earlier to find out the truth, there could have been no damage like this. In retrospect, this is also my fault.

"Luckily, they ran away when they saw Mr. Arthur, so at least it didn't put your life at risk" Granny said.

"Thank God, Arthur." Noland who already knew the story that I changed some parts also believed in it. They all trust me.

If I remember, I lied a lot today. My heart feels bad.

"So, Grandma. If I could know. What are those looters really after? it seems that they keep repeatedly trying to find something here" I asked him the main topic.

"Maybe for Mr. Arthur and Mr. Noland it's okay" Grandma said after exchanging glances with Milin.

"I'm sorry, because Grandma doesn't hold that thing right now, so Grandma can only tell you in words" she said.

They didn't not trust me, but it seemed like the place where something precious was so difficult it would even be very troublesome to take it and just show it to me and Noland.

"It's okay, Grandma, I've been very grateful if grandma wants to tell us that precious thing" I replied.

"As Mr. Arthur and Mr. Noland knew. We were once invited to the kingdom to ask for some advice for our lodging. Of course we were given very detailed advice and that's not all. We were given a gift. A gold necklace that was like embedded precious diamonds that there were only a few in this city," Granny explained.

"So, most likely... That's what the looters are after..."

Grandma nodded and continued her words.

"most likely. Because that necklace if it's sold for a price can buy up to a quarter of the city."

What a wonderful gift! Why the kingdom, em. princess. Why did the royal princess give such a spectacular gift to Grandma and Milin. Who hasn't even met him all day? Instead of being a solution, the gift even threatened the lives of Grandma and Milin.

If the prize is not given to the right hand, it will be very dangerous. What happened to the princess' brain?

"Thank you for the explanation, I've understood the whole thing, Grandma. And Oh-yes, for the repair of all this I will pay for it."

"Heh?!! Not Sir Arthur! it's all our responsibility." Milin, who had been listening to our conversation, suddenly stood up and refused my words. He also represented a surprised Grandma beside him.

"Hehe, I've contacted the hardware store and paid them to fix all this... Things like this don't matter! isn't that Noland?"

"Yes! It's okay! this is also to thank you for the dinner before!" noland said with pleasure.

"Heeh?!" Milin seems confused there.

Without giving them a chance to reject him any further, I immediately changed the topic.

"Oh yeah, what about the doctor? have met?" my many.

"Yes, he'll be here in a few hours. How's Chloe doing?" ask Noland.

"Hihihi, you won't believe it! He was conscious and he could already talk a lot. But things are still not good, so get him to talk slowly."

"HEY?! REALLY REALLY?!" exclaim Milin. "I want to see it!" After saying that, Milin immediately jumped out of his seat and ran towards Chloe's place.

"Hey, slow down Milin!" said Noland followed Milin behind him so that Milin did not cross the line.

I'm sorry Chloe, but you're gonna deal with those two guys.

After the two of them left, leave Grandma and me here. We looked at each other and Grandma started talking.

"I say again, thank you very much, Mr. Arthur."

"No problem, Grandma."

After I answered Grandma's thanks again, I immediately asked permission to leave the inn to take care of what I said earlier.
