In the evening, I carefully counted my belongings on the counter.
Thirty-four copper coins and twenty-three silver half coins.
Seven of them were half silver coins.
This is also a very common practice among civilians in this world, but it seems very strange to me.
Because the coins here are not in decimal system, but in hexadecimal system, that is to say, 1 silver coin is equal to 20 copper coins.
For most people, copper coins are not only heavy but also have low purchasing power. However, there are many situations where 10 copper coins are needed - for example, to buy a cup of ordinary ale. Therefore, when private currencies are circulating, some people will use official coins. Payment was made by issuing silver coins cut in half.
However, this currency is not officially recognized and is only used as a "counterfeit currency" among merchants. In other words, if the authorities really want to trace it one day, the people holding these silver coins will be in bad luck.
But judging from my current situation, it seems that it is not the time to complain about these things.
"Does it look like you made some money?" Teasing words came from behind.
Listening to this tone, I knew who it was without looking back.
"It's easy to be mistaken for a ghost if you show up in this way at night."
Aidolu came over, folded her hands and said, "You seem to have killed a brave man today? You seem to be quite conscientious."
"That kind of thing-"
"If you hadn't done anything then, you would have appeared in the swamp and been eaten by a crocodile tomorrow."
You're going to die if you're just a little polite.
"We can be considered colleagues for the time being. How about a nice talk?"
"I have never regarded you as a colleague." He said those words in a very bad tone, "If it weren't for the Demon King who still needs you, I would throw you into the swamp and get you right away!"
Do you have any strange obsession with the swamp? Why do you use the same words every time you threaten?
"Okay, okay, I understand." I waved my hand perfunctorily, and I really didn't have the energy to continue arguing.
"Hmph." Aidolu curled her lips, her body gradually faded, and finally disappeared into the air.
The projection, it turns out, is not from the body.
But it can be considered a good start.
Although there is still no guest today, the hotel has its first income.
This is a good thing.
There is one more thing.
The body of the brave man needs to be disposed of.
So he picked up the hero's body from under the hotel counter, picked up the shovel, and ran out the back door in the dead of night.
There are only two roads in this village, a big road in the middle, and a small street running across both sides.
The hotel is right on the street, so when you walk out the back door, you're in the middle of nowhere.
After adding a blast to myself, I ran to a more remote place.
"There's probably no one around here..."
Even though it was night, I felt quite guilty doing such a thing no matter what.
I secretly dug a hole and threw the brave man into it.
Since I don’t know his name, I’ll just call him Brave Number Two.
Of course I am the brave one.
Bury the soil, and then use natural magic to make a clump of grass grow here, so that it looks no different from other places.
No one would think that there is a brave man buried here.
Just when I wiped my sweat, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go back to sleep, a very crisp voice suddenly sounded behind me.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
The heart rate soared to 180 in an instant.
"It's time to take a walk!"
No, wait a minute, it’s late at night in the wilderness again, where is this cute girl?
Could it be that--
Have you seen a ghost? ?
I turned my head stiffly and found that in front of me was a girl dressed quite innocently.
Brown hair, dazzlingly fair skin, an angelic face, and a well-proportioned figure wrapped in a white knee-length skirt.
and red eyes.
In most knight novels, those with red eyes are mostly from the villain group.
"who are you."
"I still want to ask uncle." The girl looked at me with innocent eyes and said, "Uncle looks quite healthy. You can go to a place like this for a walk at night."
“By the way, hunting helps support the family!”
"Huh?" The girl was stunned for a moment, "Is that so?"
"Yes! I was feeling upset just now because I couldn't find a suitable prey!!!"
Please just believe it!
"But, this place smells of death." The girl showed a confused expression, and she seemed quite puzzled.
"Yeah, what kind of smell is that? Hahahaha, it's really weird!" He rubbed the back of his head and was sweating profusely, trying to get rid of this.
"Hey, uncle, why are you sweating so much?"
"Because walking is also a form of physical exercise, so of course you have to sweat a lot, haha."
Can you please stop asking? I can’t make it up anymore! !
"Oh~" the girl showed an expression of sudden realization, "So that's how it is."
I can't figure it out now.
"In this case, I will go back first!"
"Uncle, let me go with you."
"This is-"
"In front of the wilderness, I don't know whether there is a shop behind the village. Uncle, can you really bear it?"
I can't bear it!
But it was impossible to say the words.
"Okay, okay, then come with me."
So after another long journey, I finally returned to the back door of the hotel.
Then the girl from before followed beside him.
"You are the owner of the hotel. What a coincidence." The girl clasped her hands together showed a happy smile, "This way you don't have to sleep in the wild anymore!"
······Didn’t a strange word pop up just now?
Or a weird ending.
But after staring at her for a long time, I didn't find anything strange.
"What's wrong, uncle, is there something dirty on my face?" She tilted her head, looked at me and said curiously.
"No...no."
It's probably some weird oral habit, this kind of thing happens occasionally.
He unlocked the door that was so rotten that it was just a shell, and returned to the hotel.
The moment she entered, the girl's body suddenly stiffened.
Then the whole expression on his face changed.
"This smell is-"
He raised his head and squinted his eyes slightly to look in a certain direction.
Then he showed a surprised expression.
"Little, little bat?!"
Suddenly a black bat jumped up from the eaves and rushed out with a loud scream.
"Smelly dog! Why are you here!"
······This is nothing.
Where did the bat come from? And why is this girl so affectionate with the bat?
besides--
There seems to be a familiar aura about this bat.
