Chapter 220
Tling-
Opening the door of an inn located in a suitable place, the innkeeper, who had been dozing off, suddenly raised his head and greeted them.
“Ooh, welcome.”
“Four individual rooms, do you have them?”
Ethan, who was the least conspicuous among the group because he was a local, stepped forward and said that. The innkeeper scratched his head, looking troubled, and replied.
“As you can see, this is a small inn, so we don’t have that many single rooms. They’re all taken right now. We do have double rooms, though.”
At those words, Ethan naturally turned around and their eyes met. Roina readily nodded.
“Then, please give us two double rooms. My wife and I will share a room.”
Except for stepping on Jason’s foot, who was about to shout something at Ethan’s words “my wife,” this time passed without any major incidents.
But despite borrowing the rooms like that, all four of them were now crammed into one double room. Roina sighed.
“If you’re going to do this, there was no point in getting two rooms. Hurry up and go to your own rooms and rest.”
“……”
Not a single person answered her words. These stubborn people. Roina shook her head. She couldn’t bear to see anyone left alone with her, but she had no intention of doing anything tonight, so she was just dumbfounded.
“Well then, I’m going to rest. Do whatever you want.”
Roina turned her back on them, took her clothes, and went into the bathroom. Thump, as the door closed, only a chilling silence remained among the three men.
‘Really… what are they trying to do?’
Even though she had clearly stated that there was nothing between them but a contractual relationship and they seemed to have accepted it, emotions were apparently not as easy as words. Roina sighed again and stroked the bathing facilities made of magic stones.
With a creak sound, water poured out. A shower with water in the middle of a hot sandy desert. This would have been impossible if not for magic.
In fact, it was because she was used to modern times that she thought this way, but it was also quite strange that magic could be used in such lodging even though there were few magic users.
‘The secrets of this world…’
If she knew everything about the events of a thousand years ago, would she be able to understand everything? Even her feelings for Lutan? Roina felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
At that moment, there was a loud crashing sound from outside, and the old lock that had been precariously holding the door fell off, and the door burst open.
Roina’s eyes widened, and she covered her body with her hands, looking towards the door. There stood Rager, with little expression on his face, holding onto the door even as Jason was pulling his hair.
“Roina-nim, I will help you bathe.”
“Roina said she doesn’t need that!”
“…Yeah, I don’t need it, so please leave, Rager.”
I said I don’t need it! Jason’s gestures became more violent. However, Rager did not leave and gave Roina a pitiful look.
“Roina-nim, I think you need to give me your magic power today.”
“Ah.”
Only then did Roina realize and look at him. She hadn’t been able to sleep with Rager because she had used up all her energy from contracting with the two men recently. That was the reason she had brought him along in the first place. Rager shook off Jason’s hand as if chasing away a fly and fixed his gaze on Roina. He seemed somewhat triumphant.
“Then, everyone except Rager, please leave. I can’t even wash…”
“Le, let’s do it together!”
Jason shouted as if screaming. At those words, the surroundings were enveloped in silence.
“…Pardon?”
“I-it’s not like we have to do it separately. We can do it together!”
Saying that, Jason threw off his top. His well-built upper body with scars in various places was revealed. Roina stared at him with wide eyes in bewilderment, and Rager frowned slightly, then took off his own top and approached Roina.
“First, I will help you wash.”
Then, he knelt down steadfastly and looked up at her as if asking for permission. Roina looked at the two of them with an astounded expression.
“It seems to be a good way to conserve Roina-nim’s strength.”
To make matters worse, another voice was heard from behind the door. Roina closed her eyes tightly in distress.
“I’m going to wash alone, so everyone get out!”
Quickly! At her shout, the three men were all kicked out and could only stare blankly at the bathroom door.
