Isekai Hotel

Nahida handed all the ingredients to Lucky, who stored everything in the hotel's pantry. It was a room with several shelves and a freezer where the meat was placed. After putting everything away, he walked to the 'dining room' where Nahida was.

 

"Everything's put in the pantry. Shall I start preparing food for the guests? It's getting close to lunchtime, isn't it?"

 

"I think it's about time. Prepare whatever you like. I'm sure it will be to the customers' liking."

 

"Can I make any dish I want? I have a lot of dishes stored in my mind right now, so I have several options... Let's see, with the ingredients you gave me, I can prepare a Brazilian stroganoff."

 

"Brazilian stroganoff? Isn't that a Russian dish?"

 

"Yes, it's a Russian dish, but Brazilians have modified it into a completely different food. The ingredients used aren't costly, so don't worry."

 

"I bought the expensive ingredients for you to use, too. I only care if the food served is tasty. All right, make this Brazilian stroganoff, I'm curious."

 

"Okay. I'll prepare it quickly. I'll make a small amount first for you to try."

 

"I'll look forward to it."

 

After finishing his conversation with Lucky, Nahida went to the reception. Nazuna was sitting behind the counter, clearly bored. "I told you, there's something wrong with me. Whenever I'm at the hotel, very few customers show up."

 

"I'm sure it's nothing to do with you! It's probably just a bad day and time, that's all." Nazuna said to cheer Nahida up. But he just laughed since he was only joking.

 

"Nazuna, can you open the door for me? I'm going to Rimuru's house to see how things are going. He took the three televisions and hasn't given any news yet."

 

"Sure, no problem."

 

"I'm sure he's playing video games and has completely forgotten what I asked him." Nahida left the hotel to go to Rimuru's house. When he arrived, he found the Slime fiddling with the power generator.

 

He approached and cleared his throat.

 

"What happened?"

 

"Ah, Nahida. I was playing the video game, and everything suddenly was turned off. I'm having a look to see if there is anything wrong. Apparently, It's generating more energy now."

 

"You have only a few solar panels. The power won't last long."

 

"You need to buy more of them then."

 

"Right, I'll do that. But I didn't come here to talk about the energy. I came here to talk about what I asked you. Have you talked to Shuna about my request?"

 

"Request? What request?" Rimuru had a funny expression on his face. He had forgotten about Nahida's request.

 

"I was sure you had forgotten. I'm talking about a guard, a guard for my hotel."

 

"Oh, about that. I'm going to go to her right now. Do you want to come with me?"

 

"Sure."

 

So Rimuru and Nahida went in. They arrived at a meeting room a short time later. It was a large room with a long table and several chairs—a space for meetings that could change the rules of that world.

 

'It's not that big a deal. I'm exaggerating.' Nahida thought.

 

Nahida sat down at Rimuru's request, and after a few minutes, Rimuru returned with a pretty girl with pink hair. She was wearing an elegant outfit. However, the horns on her forehead were most striking.

 

Nahida was captivated by her elegant beauty. She was different from Shion. Her aura was very different.

 

"Rimuru-sama told me about what you're looking for. Do you have a problem if the guard chosen is an Orc?"

 

"An Orc? I don't see a problem with that. Orcs are more intimidating than other races. Especially for humans, they're the majority of my clients."

 

"I see. I can get an Orc to work in your hotel until tomorrow. But will just one be enough? Don't you need a guard 24 hours a day?" Shuna asked. But before Nahida could answer, Rimuru answered instead.

 

"I don't think that's necessary since it doesn't open at night. It only needs a guard during the day, right?" Rimuru looked at Nahida, and he nodded.

 

"I see. By tomorrow, one of the Orcs will show up at your hotel. Do you need anything else, Rimuru-sama?" Unlike when looking at Nahida, Shuna had a cute smile as she looked at Rimuru.

 

Nahida let out a sigh. He knew how much Shuna and Shion liked him, so it was understandable.

 

After that, Shuna left the meeting room.

 

In the end, only Nahida had sat on one of the chairs, and Shuna and Rimuru had stood the whole time. Nahida stood up and was preparing to leave, but Rimuru stepped in.

 

"Now that we've taken care of that, we need to discuss about the solar panels."

 

"Don't you have anything better to do during your day? Why do you want more solar panels so badly? You don't need that much energy. Do you want to play video games all day?"

 

"Two hours isn't enough. Besides, what if the power goes out, and I need to charge the two Nintendo Switches?"

 

"Let's leave that for later, shall we? Just leave it at that for now."

 

"Right, right. I'll forget about the solar panels for now, but... Could you bring me some food? I'm in the mood for chocolate and some snacks. Can you bring that for me?"

 

"I went to the market today; you could have told me about it. I'll buy it for you next time I go to the market."

 

"Thanks for that. Here." Rimuru threw two more gold coins to Nahida. "Buy the things for me and spend the rest on whatever you want."

 

"Thanks for that."

 

The two said goodbye, and Nahida went back to his hotel.

 

When he opened the front door and reached reception, he met someone he hadn't expected to meet there. It was Bulma. Nahida smiled at her, and Bulma's eyes lit up when she saw him.

 

'She left a letter for me, didn't she? I completely forgot about it...'
