"Hi." - Maria spoke. - "All good?"
"Yes ..." - answered Luciel. - "I ... come to rent a room." - Luciel said who was surprised by the reception and by Maria's green hair. "Is it natural?" Luciel wondered in his mind.
"Oh yeah, for how many days? Keep in mind that a whole day of lodging is 250 Jules, although well, seeing that half the day has already passed, I could charge you 150 Jules, in addition to that, if you want to include the use of the bathroom, 50 Jules will be added, and yes if You want the three meals per day are another 200 Jules, so an all-inclusive day is 500 Jules, but seeing as that half the day has passed as I told you, and breakfast and lunch have already been given ... I can charge you today just 270 Jules, okay."
"Eh ..." - Luciel did not know what to say, María's explanation left him somewhat surprised, after all, he did not know what was a Jule, or if it was something expensive or cheap, although according to Glover's explanation, María's Inn it was much cheaper than the Golden Galleon Inn.
Luciel had no idea how much the coins Glover gave him were worth, he did not even know if the coin he owned was worth more than the coins Glover gave her, so he decided to find out.
"Excuse me, this coin will be enough." - Luciel handed the gold coin to Maria.
"Oh, but of course yes, after all a Gold Coin is worth Ten Thousand Jules." - Maria said as if it were the most common thing in the world, although of course, Luciel still had no idea about many things.
"So, how many do you want to stay for?"
"Today ... and two more days." - Luciel said.
"I understand, all include?"
"Yes please."
"I see, then two more days, plus what is left of today ... so it will be 1270 Jules."
"Okay."
"All right." - Maria said as she began to put more coins on the table. She gave him eight silver coins, seven bronze coins, and 3 black coins. - "Here's your chance, 8730 Jules."
"Thank you."
"Ah, I almost forgot, let me see your Identification Card."
Hearing that, Luciel quickly handed him the letter Glover gave him.
"Hm." - Maria was surprised to receive the letter, but upon reading it, she understood the situation. - "I see, if Vice Captain Glover gives you the go-ahead, then I don't see any problem."
She returned the letter to Luciel.
"Although aren't you a little bit too young to be traveling on your own."
"Eh? In the letter from the Vice-Captain it does not say where I come from."
"No."
"Well, let's say I come from a faraway place where ID Cards don't exist, and well, by the way, I'm here now." - said Luciel who, although he did not tell the whole truth, neither did he tell a lie.
"I see." - Maria began to feel a bit intrigued to know more about the young man in front of her, clearly he was still a minor, and he carried with him a Gold Coin, and not only that, but he did not have any Identification Card, but still he received Glover's backing, and hearing the young man's words made her even more curious.
"Anything else?" Luciel asked.
"No, but please wait a moment." - Maria would say who then entered the room behind her.
"From what I see these silver coins must be worth a thousand Jules, the bronze coins a hundred Jules and the black coins ten Jules." - Luciel thought, who was still waiting for Maria. - 'Still, seriously, what the hell am I doing in Another World, how is this possible?'
...
When Maria finally returned, a young boy came with her. The young boy looked even younger than Luciel himself, and not only that, he had short green hair and eyes that were also green but lighter.
"Is it natural?" - This time Luciel asked himself about the young man's hair.
Maria quickly introduced the boy: "He is my son Fred, he helps me take the clients to their respective rooms, he will show you your room and where the bathroom is, he will also call you when dinner is ready to be served. "
"Hi, I'm Fred." - Said the young boy a couple of centimeters shorter than Luciel. - "If you need anything you can tell me."
"Nice to meet you, my name is Luciel."
"Well, come, I'll take you to your room."
The two began to walk towards some stairs that led to the second floor of the establishment, once on the second floor, Fred took him to the bottom of the right side.
"This door here leads to the bathroom." - Fred said that he knocked first to see if there was someone, and then open. - "You can use the bathroom as long as you have paid for its use, which my mother already told me what you have done, so I will give you a key so you can enter, but do not forget to touch first to see if there is someone, as long as you finish using it, lock the door, and please try not to damage anything. "
The two went into the bathroom, and Luciel saw something that would surprise him too much.
"This is the toilet, and the bathtub is here." - Fred then looked at Luciel who was curiously looking at the toilet. - "Any problem?"
"That ... that's ..." - Luciel said pointing to the toilet.
"It's a toilet, don't you know what it is?" - said Fred.
"No, of course I know it is, it's just that ..." - Luciel said. - 'Seeing the kind of place this was, I didn't think I saw such a sophisticated toilet.' - thought the young man.
"Well, as I was saying, that's the toilet, and here is the bathtub, here you can bathe, if you know what a bathtub is, right?"
"Of course." - Luciel said somewhat embarrassed.
"Well, here you can bathe, but there is only cold water, understand?"
"Yes."
