Chapter 267: Sleep Together in Groups
Rosie and her group entered the city without any obstacles whatsoever. How could it not be? Only desperate people dared to cause trouble or make things difficult for a group that had the presence of two Saint-level experts and two Spirit-level knights.
Because the day was shrouded by a dark sky foreshadowing night, they would only visit the inn right away. Rosie led the way and headed straight for the five-star inn she was familiar with.
"What, full? There are no other rooms, you say? But, my representatives have booked since yesterday afternoon. I've even paid upfront for three family rooms. Am I being fooled? Please check it out once again, on behalf of Rosie Reinhard, and here's the code my representative gave me." Rosie felt confused and upset because the receptionist in front of her said there were no rooms booked on her behalf. She didn't know what had happened, but she was sure something was wrong with this receptionist.
"Then, please wait a moment, miss. Let me check it one more time." The receptionist took out the piece of paper Rosie gave her and then sat back down to check the code's validity.
"Ah, this code is valid. However, this code isn't on behalf of Rosie Reinhard, but Diego the Reinhard Family's knight? Hum?" The receptionist became confused too.
"Uhh, what a fool he is... He booked the rooms under his own name." Rosie placed her palm against her face in an expression of disbelief, shame, and irritation.
"Yes, those are the rooms reserved for us. Diego the Reinhard Family's knight is the representative I talked about earlier. He is the knight of the Knight Association I contacted yesterday. Reinhard is my family name." Rosie breathed a sigh of relief that it was just a misunderstanding because of that stupid Diego.
"I- I see... Allow me to reconfirm, Miss Rosie Reinhard. Diego the Reinhard Family's knight booked three rooms for two days... One family room and two double rooms. That's not three family rooms as you say." The receptionist straightened the wrong information from the guest's side.
"It's not three family rooms? Were the rooms in this inn almost full yesterday, hmm?" Rosie muttered softly, but the receptionist heard that.
"Yes, since the incident in Avrora Forest, this city and the inns have been busy." The receptionist took three cards and put them on the table. "These are the access cards to your rooms, Miss Rosie Reinhard. Brown for the family room, and white for the double room."
"All right, thank you." Rosie took the access cards. She was still confused about dividing 11 people into three rooms, two double rooms being the problem.
"Yes, with pleasure. Have a good night." The receptionist gave a warm smile as she waved her hand a little.
Rosie returned to her group, who were waiting behind her. "How about this? We only have three rooms, one family room and two double rooms."
"Hmm, eleven people for three rooms like that. Isn't that easy? Four, four, three?" Evelyn suggested as she lifted her index finger up.
"The problem is not that, Eve. The family room can fit about four to six people with three large beds, but the double room is only for two people with two normal beds. As you can see, we are four men and seven girls." Rosie shook her head slightly as she explained the source of her confusion.
"I have an idea." Elysia raised her hand, and she immediately got Rosie's undivided attention.
"Like this, a family room with three large beds can fit five people. Then, in two double rooms are three people each. Uh, wait, we have four men... What should we do?" Elysia suggested, but she became confused afterward.
She looked at the two knights, Fran, and the old wizard... If these four men in one room and two knight ladies were in the other, wouldn't that be fine? But she didn't dare to say that.
"Miss Rosie, I have a suggestion." One of the knight ladies raised her hand. Rosie immediately responded, asking for enlightenment.
"We don't mind having a room with Young Master Fran. Fran sleeps on the bed and we on the other bed. That way, the problem will be resolved easily. Young Master Fran, do you mind?" The knight lady turned to face Fran, who was staring at her astonishment.
"Oh, yes! Brilliant idea. Fran wouldn't dare to do anything wrong. Okay it's decided, Fran." Rosie clapped her hands with a smile, then she patted her little brother on the shoulder.
"Oh, well, I'll be there to sleep. What do you expect by doing things?" Fran took a breath and exhaled. He loosened his shoulders and nodded.
"Nothing, nothing, hehe... How happy you are, you will sleep with two beautiful ladies~" Rosie whispered to her little brother's ear.
"I'm a man of focus, don't accuse me of that behavior." The flush crept up Fran's face. He immediately took a distance from his big sister.
"Ara~ What accusation do you mean, my little brother?" Rosie put her finger close to her lips with a mischievous smile.
Maximilian gave Fran a slightly envious look. If possible, he would be willing to swap places with this lucky boy and share a room with two knight ladies. Who would enjoy sleeping in a room with two big knight men? It wasn't him.
"Granpa Max, it's okay. In the double room there is still a sofa. The one who doesn't get the bed will sleep there, hehe..." Evelyn delivered a light joke with a slightly teasing smile.
"Yeah, just one night." Maximilian heaved a sigh.
After that, they went to the restaurant in the inn for dinner, and they chose a private table to avoid the gaze of other guests. All covered by Rosie, and when they finished their dinner an hour later... They went to their respective rooms.
For some reason, Fran glanced at his big sister for a moment before they parted ways at the corridor fork. However, Rosie just replied with a wink and walked away with the girl group.
"Young Master Fran?" One of the knight ladies asked because Fran went pensive for a moment.
"Ah-uh, yes, it's half past nine. We're just going to sleep, nothing else." Fran turned and walked quickly into his room, his cheeks flushed slightly from the strange thought that had suddenly come. As far as he could remember, he had never slept in the same room with the opposite gender, after all.
"Ara, how cute~ Young master Fran's expression just now is truly- hehe..." One of the knight ladies chuckled softly, and her colleague nodded as well. They also walked to follow their young master to their room.
Meanwhile, five girls arrived at the front of their room, the family room. Rosie swiped the access card, and the door opened momentarily after.
*Zap*
The lighting suddenly flashed as soon as Rosie stuck the card into the slot near the door.
"Oh my... The bed is big enough for two people. So, if we want to sleep, then who will sleep with whom? There are five of us." Evelyn raised a question to avoid a fuss.
"I can sleep in any bed or with anyone. I'm not picky." Elysia took off her shoes and put them in her Space Bag. She didn't overthink it because she wanted to shower and change her dress to casual clothes as soon as possible.
"I can sleep on the sofa. You happy girls can sleep in the beds." Ariel spread her hands casually. Her full golden armor set released by itself from her body, then floated into her Space Bag. After that, she, who was clad in a tight suit, headed straight for the sofa and sat there.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Elysia and Elena stared in wonder at Ariel. It was so practical and cool, but how? They decided to learn something from this Saint-level holy knight later.
"Ah, don't be like that, Miss Ariel. We have three beds. How about this, we make a little game to determine who will sleep with whom?" Ella walked over to Ariel with a good suggestion.
"That's a great idea, Ella. Uhh, don't look at me like that, Miss Ariel. I've asked Ella's permission to call her familiarly." Rosie couldn't agree more than that, but she became a little awkward when Ariel glared at herself.
After getting a short statement from Ella, Ariel apologized to Rosie and returned to silence. She didn't like it when just anyone called the Holy Princess so familiar for no reason.
Still, it turned out that Rosie wasn't in that category. Whereas Elysia and Evelyn went without saying, they were already considered Holy Grandfather's granddaughters.
"All right, in this jar there are six papers marked with the numbers one, two, and three. It only comes in a pair. Please take and assign your bed mates~" Ella lifted a small jar to the center of the group.
"Shake it first and we start. Who will take the paper first?" Evelyn shook the small jar in Ella's hand to make it fair.
"Please start at the nearest one, but Ella will be last because she made this game. Eve became the one before Ella because Eve was part of the preparations." Elysia came up with a solution. She was about to go into the bathroom, but she had to join this raffle game first.
"What? Why is it like that?" Evelyn protested with puffed out her cheeks, but only she disagreed. Because of that, she lost the vote, and Elysia's proposal was accepted by the group.
"Miss Ariel, please take one." Ella chuckled lightly, while Ariel just nodded and took the paper in the small jar.
"What number did you get, Miss Ariel?" Evelyn glanced as if she wanted to peek.
"Number two." Ariel showed the girls the number on her paper.
For the next few seconds, Rosie, Elysia, Evelyn, and Ella took their papers too. Finally, the matter of choosing the bed was resolved with the game.
"Geez... Why am I the one sleeping alone?" Rosie grumbled when she saw the number three on her paper.
"Ah, please count Vann as one. She shall accompany you to sleep comfortably. Right, Vann? Do you want to sleep with Rosie for tonight?" Elysia stroked the white cat in her arms while coaxing the cat gently through their spiritual connection.
At first, Vanessa didn't want to comply, but she finally relented because it was only this one night, and her master wasn't far from her. Due to yesterday's incident, she didn't want to stay away from her master for apparent reasons. If she could choose, she would jump and sleep on her master tummy like last night.
"Alright, it's decided. Allow me to take a shower first." Elysia put her paper on the table and fled to the bathroom.
