Chapter 10 - Going to the inn

'...This magic stone.....though it's great to have one, it's dangerous as well. As soon as Patolli gets the wind that I have a magic stone, he will come after me, though on the other hand he must still be busy with gathering his other elves since that salamander contractor must still be in diamond kingdom and it's not like he will surely know that I have a magic stone.....Also it is unlikely of him to attack the town in which I live in since there are a lot of magic knights, yet since he still needs to recruit his army....should I keep this or not?'

Sekke started thinking about what to do with the stone, surely there was danger with him keeping the stone, but he also knew that it was advantageous for him to keep it, since he had a theory that Sacred gears could absorb things if their wielders wills it, like how Issei absorbed Ascalon. He just need to wait for all his sacred gears to manifest and have Vritra gain conciousness and then he would be able to do it.... theoretically that is.

"....Let's just keep it for now, it's not like he wi-....no let's not raise any flags." said Sekke as he controlled his mouth.

He took out his sword and changed its shape so as to make a space in the hilt to keep the stone hidden and put it inside that.

"Seriously you keep helping me with everything...are you sure that you are not my Waifu? Extase-chan~" said Sekke as he kissed the sword's hilt and then sheathed it once again.

Soon Zuk returned back and told him that he found a fine inn and both of them went there to check if it was fine.

On the way Zuk asked what happened to the food as he could clearly notice that some of it was missing.

Knowing that his father didn't have a liking towards peasants and poor he told him that he sold some of it to someone who asked him and showed him some of the money that he brought with him from his home. Well technically it was his earnings from the what he hunted with Will.

Zuk nodded his head and praised Sekke for finding a way for them to not waste the meat.

Soon they reached the inn which looked slightly better compared to the normal buildings of the village and entered inside ringing a bell which was connected to the door.

Sekke looked around and saw a woman standing at the reception and seeing her 'ass and assets' he could tell why she was there.

Knowing that his father would get swayed by her as he could already see him drool a bit he stepped forward to deal with it.

"Welcome to our inn, how can I help you?" asked the lady looking towards Sekke with a smile.

Sekke looked at her and thought, '...I can guess how much load is on her shoulders, forget anime those were in the realm of h*ntai.' as he looked at the button which was suffering to hold the clothes together.

Sekke took a deep breath and asked with a smile on his face, "Big sister, can me and my father get a room here for tonight?"

"Iyaa~, older sister, do I really look that young?" asked the lady holding her cheeks which were blushing.

Sekke didn't reply to he just looked at the pitiful button and thought, '...I pity you....but please break in front of me. I promise that I will catch you.'

"Ah, you wanted to book a room right? Let me see....hmm....yeah, there are rooms available. Would you like to stay for tonight?" asked the lady.

"We would love to Bah-ha." said Zuk as he appeared out of nowhere and leaned against the counter.

The lady who saw the man who came with the boy who was talking to her earlier smiled as she immediately went to her 'business' mode.

"Oh my~, a handsome man like you would be staying at our lodging....looks like we are very fortunate." said the lady with a sultry tone.

Zuk and all the other males who were nearby shivered a bit as they heard they sexy and alluring voice. Even Sekke lost his cool for a bit but soon recovered as he thought, 'Calm down Sekke, you need to make sure Dad don't mess up. Mom entrusted you with that.'

He then used his other magic which he tested once and touched Zuk whose body immediately stopped moving but still he glanced at Sekke knowing that it was his doing.

"Big sister, how much is the cost for spending one night here. We would like to have a double room." asked Sekke totally ignoring his dad.

"Oh, a double room...sure 500 Yuls for the stay although if you add 200 more we will add tomorrow's breakfast in it too." said the woman with a normal smile towards Sekke. She felt that it was better to talk normally with a kid like Sekke who spoke well with her than to engage with men who were attracted to her sex appeal.

"Really, thanks big sister. We will like to book a room here for the night." said Sekke as he took out 1000 Yul from his father's purse and gave 750 Yuls to the lady, 50 Yul extra because he still pitied the unfortunate button, 'Its alright little guy, just rest for a while. No one will be angry at you....well except for the lady, but all of us including me will praise you.' thought Sekke as he kept the remaining 250 Yul in his pocket as a fee for keeping his father in line.

The lady then wrote Zuk's name in her register and gave a key to Sekke while also giving him a wink for the extra tip. She will make sure to add a bit more in the boy's portion in tomorrow's breakfast.

Sekke smiled bas he took the key from her and pushed his father towards the room that the lady told him about.
