It was suggested that an inn be built in Range village
“Ah, that’s right, Hart. Don’t you think it would be best to have an inn built in this village?”
“An inn?”
“Yes. Up until now, there were few travelers, as it is far from the main road. But that won’t be the case any longer, will it? Besides, I had no place to stay when I ca here. Of course, one could always camp outside… But Lugretta is quite picky about such things.”
“You must consider your position, Your Excellency. It would be one thing if you hid your identity, but you revealed yourself imdiately. It would be a problem if you then slept outside.”
“That’s true…”
Mr. Euto raised his hands with exasperation.
When we had co to this village the last ti, it was just and Phillip, and so we stayed at Mr. Hannes’s house. But since Mr. Euto was royalty, I suppose it couldn’t be the sa place.
That being said, they didn’t have any other good place, so he ended up staying in the repaired house that we had used previously.
“Hmm. An inn… Yes, it may be necessary. If Mr. Takumi makes his herb fields, then it will revitalize the village. And there is also the wine. Travelers and rchants might visit. A place for nobles will cost a lot and take ti, though… And is probably not necessary. What do you think, chief?”
“I would hope that you did think it was necessary…but, it can co last, I think.”
Not only would the inn need to be larger, but they would have to choose the furnishings. Though, Mr. Ekenhart seed like he didn’t really care about such things.
“Umm, an inn…? Yes. We currently have houses that no one is using…”
As there were more than ten of us, we were also staying in similar houses that had been repaired.
Normally, the most important people, Mr. Ekenhart and Mr. Euto, would stay in the best house, which was the chief’s. However, they both did not want to stay there… And so Claire, Tilura and Ms. Lyra stayed there instead.
I thought that Leo would sleep with the horses like last ti, but the villagers had worked hard to make a place for her to sleep.
It was a quickly built shed, but there was straw and blankets on the ground, so she would be quite comfortable.
“However, once the fields are made, no one will be able to stay there.”
“Yes… As it was rare to receive guests in the village, they would usually stay at my house, or with Rai’s parents.”
“Rai?”
“The house that is closest to the entrance. It is a little on the large side, so it is perfect.”
Now that I thought about it, that house was a little larger than the others.
I had gotten used to living in a mansion, but tried to not think of it as the standard.
“Still, if there really will be an increase in guests, then there must be increased lodging as well.”
“And so why not build an inn, like His Excellency suggests?”
“Well, the villagers are still working to repair the old houses, so it will have to be after they are finished… But there is spare land. And so it would not be hard to expand the village to the south or east sides.”
“I see. Then it is settled. Let’s see… Sebastian. Search for skilled builders in Ractos and neighboring towns, and have them help with the inn.”
“Certainly. I was already going to gather such people for the house that Mr. Takumi and Lady Claire are to live in.”
“Good.”
“But if it is the village inn, then surely we should build it! We do not need the duke’s help…”
“No, it is fine, chief. It is best to leave such things to competent people. Yes, you should focus on Mr. Takumi’s house. Not that you have to do anything, as we will be building that as well. Sebastian?”
“Yes, I will be sure to confide in the chief and make sure that everything goes smoothly.”
“Hmm. But… There is no need to be so serious about it. I’m sure Mr. Takumi and Claire will do most of the work. Leave the work to the young. That’s what I think.”
