After Reincarnating, I Became the Son of Inkeepers

20-Natalia and the City...



\'You can stay if you want. I don\'t use it.

Natalia asks while lifting a pot-like magical tool. It is as light as if she were giving candy to a neighborhood kid.

No, no, you can\'t give me something this expensive,\' she says.

I want one so bad. With this, I might be able to drink hot water or tea in elegance every day.

But it is too expensive for me. It costs more than 100,000 Japanese yen.

With such heartbreaking bargains, I managed to clean up the room.

All the clothes that were scattered on the floor are now stored, and accessories and shoes are placed in their proper places.

Now it\'s just a matter of how to arrange the furniture and buy more.

I look around the room, wondering how I should do it.

The curtains in the room are black. The sheets on the bed are light purple, the carpet on the floor is purple. The hanging dresses are also purple, red, and black, which basically make the room look dim.

The curtains, the carpet, and the sheets have to be that color, too? Sometimes you should try a brighter color, it gives a completely different impression, you know?\'\'

When redecorating, it\'s best to start with the big things.

Changing a large object in a room can change the look of the room. So I suggested this, but Natalia\'s reaction was not positive.

Well, if the curtains are black, they can block out the sunlight, and if the carpet is dark, it won\'t be noticeable if something spills on it.

\'Okay, let\'s replace all of them!

\'Eh! Wait a minute! If you suddenly lighten all the colors, I won\'t feel at home! Let\'s make the color a little more in-between!

When I said this, Natalia looked unusually impatient.

It\'s kind of funny, and I want to crush her because I envy her the environment where she can be cooped up during the day, but Natalia has a point.

\'How would you like your room to be decorated?

\'Well, I\'m not sure how I\'m supposed to do it.

When redecorating, it helps to have a theme in mind, so that the work is less chaotic and more cohesive.

Of course, it\'s impossible to do something that requires remodeling the walls and ceilings.

I want to use white and black. Like a caf . ......\'

\'...... do you think it\'s calming?\'

Then let\'s have wooden furniture. It\'s natural, relaxing, and stylish.

Then, please do it!

When I suggested this, Natalia said so without much thought.

It seems that she has a policy of not interfering with the interior design as long as it is not too bright. It seems to me that she\'s just stopping to think about it because it\'s too much trouble.

I take my eyes off Natalia and look at the furniture in the room and try to think of several furniture arrangement patterns in my mind.

Then I draw several patterns in my mind and select the one that would be suitable for Natalia.

\'I have a few more things I need to buy, is that okay?

\'Okay. I haven\'t been shopping lately, and a trip to the city wouldn\'t hurt.

So we decided to go to town to redecorate.

We decided to go to the city to redecorate.

It\'s been a long time since I\'ve walked the streets in the daytime like this!

As we walk through the streets of Luvera, Natalia squints in the sunlight and stretches her soft body wide. The two flabby fruits that pushed up her light blue dress trembled and attracted the eyes of many gentlemen walking on the street.

For a moment, my eyes were drawn to them as well, but I shook them off with the force of my will.

\'You usually walk after dark, don\'t you?

\'Yes. That\'s why it\'s been so long since I\'ve walked in a crowded place like this.

Natalia exhales heavily and looks comfortable.

With her different lifestyle, she lives in a different time than most people.

That\'s probably why she misses this kind of everyday scenery.

\'Let\'s go to the fabric store first. It won\'t be too much luggage if we buy curtains or carpets for the first time.

What are you talking about? You have money, you can have it all sent to the innkeeper.

Oh, so this is how the haves shop. I\'m sure Hermina and her friends who are always talking about saving money are going to cry when they hear this.

So, I can finish my shopping without worrying about the order.

But first, let\'s eat at the food stall! I\'m getting a little hungry...\'\'

As I\'m thinking about this, Natalia tugs on my arm and leads me toward a food stall.

What? Where\'s the furniture?\'\'

\'\'That stuff can wait.\'\'

Natalia doesn\'t seem to be in a hurry, so I don\'t mind taking a little time.

If I go home early and redecorate, I\'ll just be wasting my time. I\'m sorry, Dad, but I\'m going to have to run the inn by myself for a while.

Natalia takes my hand and we walk at our leisure until we come across a stall selling pork skewers.

They are large pieces of pork meat on skewers with sauce. The smell of the sauce and juices wafted from the stall and stimulated our stomachs.

Natalia must have liked the smell right away.

Excuse me, can I have two pork skewers?

Oh, you\'re a pretty girl, aren\'t you? She\'s so beautiful that I\'ll give you a little extra for her: one copper and five lowly coins.

Oh, Natalia has saved us five lowly coins!

Mother and Letty sometimes give me a discount too.

Oh, really? But I only brought silver coins. ......\'

\'Oh my god! Then I\'ll take one copper! In return, you\'ll have to come back for more!\'\'

The final price was half of the original price. If I had said something similar with my face deviation, I might have been told to go home or given a tongue lashing.

Natalia offers a silver coin and the owner gives back nine copper coins as change.

Finally, when she receives the pork skewer, she smiles.

Thank you. I\'ll be back.

\'...... Oh, oh. Thank you very much.

It was a smile that even I, looking at it from the side, thought was beautiful, and the old man at the stall who received it from the front was completely taken aback.

The fact that he was still able to thank me properly must be due to his ingrained habits as a professional.

\'Yes, for Tori.

\'Thank you. I\'ll pay you five coins.

\'What are you talking about? I\'m buying everything for you since you\'re staying with me today. Of course, it has nothing to do with the interior design.

I try to pay, but Natalia doesn\'t take it and pushes it away, handing me the pork skewer.

There is no point in arguing here, and Natalia is doing me a favor. Let\'s just take it in stride here.

Okay. Thank you.

I thanked her, and Natalia nodded in satisfaction before taking a bite of the pork skewer.

\'Mmmm, it\'s hot, but it\'s delicious.

It was still a little hot, and Natalia ate it while rolling it around in her mouth.

It seems she needs to cool down a little. I understand this when I see Natalia eating, so I let it cool down a little with my breath before biting into it.

As I bite into it, a large amount of juices gush out from the pork, and the sweet and spicy sauce is mixed with the juices. The texture is pleasantly firm and elastic, and the more you bite into it, the more the pork flavor is released.

It\'s a simple but royal taste, isn\'t it?

The food at the inn is good, but sometimes I just want to eat something with a rougher taste like this.

I know that too. I just stop by to eat on the way home.

I often have a craving for these flavors.

Natalia and I eat our meat skewers in silence for a while.

Ah!

Then Natalia spills some of the sauce on her chest while she is eating.

The sauce had stained not only Natalia\'s skin, but also her light blue dress.

\'Oh, pull yourself together! It\'s a waste of a beautiful dress.

\'I don\'t care. The store will buy it again.\'

So does this mean that I will throw it away because of this stain? That would be too sad for the dress. I mean, this is definitely an expensive one.

You shouldn\'t despise clothes just because the store buys them. If you remove the stain a little, it will be clean and you can use it again.

\'Tori, you\'re like a mother to me.

\'Yes, a handkerchief. You don\'t want to leave a stain on your chest anyway.

You can wipe it for me, okay?

As I held out the handkerchief, Natalia deliberately bent forward to emphasize her breasts.

The heinous sight made me want to reach out my hand, but that would be a bad idea.

\'...... wipe yourself.

\'Uh-huh, yes.

Natalia, perhaps seeing through my conflict, giggles and accepts the handkerchief. Giggle, I feel like I\'m being played with.

Natalia, who reigns over the night world, must think that a child like me is a perfect plaything for her.

To drown my frustration, I proceed to eat the rest of the pork skewers.

When I have finished eating all of them, Natalia seems to have just finished wiping her breast.

\'Give it back to me when you\'re done,\' she says.

\'Hmmm, I\'ll wash this one and give it back.

\'However, if we use the laundry service at the inn, it will be me, Letty or my mother who washes the clothes, right?

\'That\'s rude. It\'s a lent handkerchief, I\'ll wash it myself.

When I say this, Natalia looks a little disgruntled.

I almost said, "Wow, Natalia can do the laundry," but I felt she would get angry if I said that, so I decided to keep quiet.

She looked a little discontented. You\'re making a face like that.\'\'

It\'s just my imagination.

Natalia gives me a cold stare and I look away.

Why are women so perceptive at times like this? I can\'t help but wonder.

As I break out in a cold sweat, Natalia lets out a relieved breath.

\'But with Tori, I feel like I\'m living as a normal girl. It\'s a strange feeling.

\'From my point of view, she\'s like a regular slutty sister.\'

\'...... Oh, you can\'t be sloppy--\'

\'I\'m weak in the morning. I can\'t clean up, I didn\'t bring a handkerchief, I stain a clean dress. And many other things. ......\'

\'Oh, I don\'t want to hear it. Look, there\'s some nice soup over there, let\'s go over there.

I rambled on and on, and Natalia moved away from me.
