Failed.
A complete failure.
In the morning, quite a few villagers who got up early to work looked here many times, but no one had the intention to come in.
Later, I couldn't help but stopped a villager and asked why.
"Are you the new owner of the hotel?"
After the usual pleasantries, he finally talked about the reason why I wanted it.
"Ah, you are such a good person. In order to prevent others from being lazy, you specially put up a sign asking people to work 'early' in a place where everyone can see it. You are very kind, but most people here People are all rough, so it’s hard to understand them.”
······What?
After hearing his reasons, I was completely stunned.
No, it’s true that the human lingua franca here doesn’t have the habit of using “breakfast” to mean breakfast.
Then again, even if he writes it correctly, it's just like what he said, and there's absolutely no chance that it will be understood.
What a mistake——
Just when I was secretly feeling sad, a rather strong voice came from the door of the store.
"Boss, do you have a spare room here?"
Business is coming!
After hearing this sentence, I immediately became energetic.
"Oh, there are a lot of rooms!"
"In that case, please give me a guest room."
I immediately recovered from my sadness and carefully looked at the person in front of me.
A strong and courageous face, paired with firm eyes and who knows which village has the best sword and armor - isn't this the perfect warrior character that is very popular these days?
Although I already had a feeling of déjà vu, I still decided to ask for confirmation.
He pretended to ask casually.
"Is the guest a traveler? If you go in the wrong direction, you will end up at the Demon King. I heard that there are quite a few terrifying monsters in that place."
"Don't worry." His voice was low and solid, "I went here this time just to solve this matter."
"W-what?"
"I am a brave man, a brave man who wants to defeat the Demon King."
No, what I actually mean is that for a weak guy like you, if you run to this place, you will die.
In order to prevent this big brother from being cut into pieces and thrown into the swamp, I kindly gave him a reminder.
"There was a brave man who was invincible and powerful in the universe. He came to this place to defeat the Demon King but failed!"
I'm not talking about myself.
"It doesn't matter!" After hearing this, his mood became even higher. "I'm different from that guy. I will definitely kill the devil and rescue the princess in the end!"
You have to know that the guy in your mouth is me. Are you afraid that there is no sweat medicine in the wine glass tonight when you say bad things in front of me?
but--
This guy has quite a lot of courage, but I'm more concerned about another thing.
"Princess, what's going on?"
"Because everyone is saying that the devil kidnapped the princess! So it is our duty as heroes to rescue the princess!"
How can there be so many princesses in the world to save you?
And isn’t the Demon King a woman?
Could it be that--
Is the Demon King a [DATA EXPUNGED]? ?
So shocking.
But as expected, if you say so, there is no way I can let you pass.
"In that case, come and register."
He took out the accounting book from under the counter and hastily drew a table on it.
"Registration...what is it."
"Just write your name on it."
You are the first user of this book.
And I am going to name this book "Lin Zhihe's List".
It is a pity that this list is different from the famous rescue list on earth. Everyone on this list will find their place in the wasteland on the mountain behind the village.
I have understood one thing from before.
Gatekeeper.
It's not as simple as running a hotel well and then paying the money every month.
What the Demon King said was——
"Let it be the first stop to enter the Demon King's realm. Stop all those annoying flies and relieve the financial pressure."
In other words, from that night on I was already on the opposite side of my former self.
The task I have to do is to do my best to stop or even kill the hero.
If words can't change the minds of these guys who read too many knight novels, then the easiest way to dispel their thoughts is——
Drugged.
I'm a tired person, so if I can avoid things like fighting, I'd rather avoid them.
So I put on a professional fake smile.
"If that's the case, then thank you." He casually took a cup from the counter, and then threw in the arsenic found in the store for some reason under the counter.
"To express my gratitude, the shop will give you a glass of ale."
Brave man, come and drink.
"This ale looks very fresh and bubbly!"
The brave man made a sound of surprise.
Yes, because the arsenic was just thrown in.
"What's the name of this wine?"
"Arsenic trioxide."
"...Three-yang flowers are deep? What a strange name."
I'm just bullying you for being uneducated.
So under my calm gaze, the brave man drank all the ale in his hand——
"Good, good wine! But it seems very strong." He walked towards me unsteadily, "Boss, I don't feel very good. Can you help..."
Gudong!
As a result, before he came over, he had already fallen to the floor.
Comatose.
Although you made that request, I will not respond to other people's expectations casually.
I can’t be called a bad person, because I sometimes watch certain things happen because I am timid.
He dragged the brave man behind, then took off all his valuables and gadgets that could represent his identity, and added a lethal shot of magic along the way.
Now we just need to wait until night to dig a hole in the wilderness and bury him.
Thinking of this, I opened the partition of the counter and kicked the brave man in.
Although I knew no one would come today, I still felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt for doing such a thing during the day.
So, as expected, I still want to be a serious innkeeper.
So he happily began to count the brave man's money.
Then disappointed.
"What? It turns out he is a poor man."
Although there seemed to be a lot of coins found, in fact they were basically copper coins and silver coins, and there were no gold coins.
Not to mention there were quite a few half silver coins mixed in there.
"well."
Life is not easy.
The owner of the hotel didn't have any business coming to the door today.
