Leon and The Soldier chatted while enjoying the services at the Midnight Inn. From him, Leon knew that this place had existed for a long time. Even after ten years of visiting this place, not much has changed.

'He' invited many people to this place. Whether it was a great noble, a solitary traveler, a noble, or a slave, they were all invited as long as they had permission from Him.

But not everyone comes to this place with good intentions.

Some people tried to investigate it but had no significant results. It's as if this place doesn't exist in the world.

Some tried to test the waters and attack the Innkeeper but they were killed so cruelly.

"You have to be careful and behave yourself when you are here. You have no idea how terrifying the Innkeeper is." The Soldier witnessed for himself how the Innkeeper mutilated each person's body with a kitchen knife while forcing him to stay alive.

The one he knows best is the person with the Codename, The Stupid Clown. He boldly said harsh words towards Midnight Inn. Even after being invited as a guest.

"We all know that this person has bad intentions and wants to test how deep this place is. However, the Innkeeper seemed unaffected by this and continued to carry out his duties. Just as he was about to mention the owner of this place, the Innkeeper immediately finished him off."

"I saw with my own eyes how it happened. After the Innkeeper mutilated the person, the Innkeeper didn't stop and started skinning The Stupid Clown. All the flesh and skin was slowly sliced off with a kitchen knife in his hand and tortured him alive." The Soldier explained in a trembling voice as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in his life.

Before continuing, He ordered a simple drink that looked like a RootBeer and downed it to get rid of the fear he had when he witnessed that. Even his hands seemed to be shaking when he told Leon the story.

"Even though the Innkeeper seemed to have no eyes, when he brought his face closer to The Stupid Clown, I could see a deep hatred. His flat, featureless face appeared to be covered in blood as he lifted The Stupid Clown into the air."

The Soldier described it with his magic so Leon could see for himself. From his hand, a three-dimensional visualization of The Soldier's perspective was formed.

"This…" Leon was speechless. He was even speechless seeing how a faceless person lifted a piece of body that only had internal organs and ribs left.

Despite not having a mouth, the Inkeeper spoke to the lump of meat in his hand.

'It's trash like you that disgusts me. But you know, I'm a good Innkeeper. 'He' forbade us from killing the guests on the list. So I will congratulate you on the gift you are about to receive. I hope you enjoy the special service I provide.'

The Innkeeper's words shook The Stupid Clown's heart. His eyes trembled and he let out a blood-curdling cry. He opened his mouth and tried to speak but his throat was slit and the Mana in his body was suppressed by the Innkeeper.

After saying that, the Innkeeper took the poor fellow to the back without saying anything.

"After that, the person was never seen again. I don't know what happened, but I can say that he is still inside this place." The Soldier said as he closed his fists.

He gulped down the drink in his hand and called an Inn waiter to order a few more glasses. Leon also ordered another best Menu and ordered what he had eaten before.

The Soldier who saw Leon seemed to smile. Never in this world had he seen people who would actually waste their wealth just on expensive food and drinks here.

This immediately increases the value owned by Mr. Error in his mind.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Little did he know, Everything he ate today was paid for by the Innkeeper. So Leon didn't hold back and enjoyed all the best food this inn had.

The Soldier also enjoyed this quiet evening while talking about other things with Mr. Error.

Without realizing it, the Innkeeper came to the two. He bowed slightly before speaking to Leon and The Soldier. "I apologize for having to inform you that the Inn will be closing soon. If you want to stay longer at the Inn, you can book a room or stay in your room until the following night."

"Don't worry, I'll leave after finishing this drink for the last time." The Soldier said that while taking a large sip from a glass and stomping it onto the table. He burped as he took out a gold PocketWatch.

"Okay Error, see you. I hope we can meet again another time." After saying that, he disappeared.

"We look forward to your next visit, The Soldier." The innkeeper nodded his head and called the waiter to clear the table. His body immediately turned to face Leon.

"Mr. Error, does the service provided by Midnight Inn satisfy your taste?" The innkeeper asked kindly.

"It really exceeded any expectations I had. What you guys have here is truly amazing. I will definitely come back here again." Leon smiled as he slowly got up.

"Your satisfaction is happiness for us. Mr. Error, before you come back, I have prepared what you asked for." The innkeeper handed over a small book. He had accepted Leon's request when Leon entrusted it to one of Midnight Inn's servants.

It was a simple request and the Innkeeper didn't mind it. Mr. Error only asked to record the location and all information owned by Maple City. Who knows what the purpose is, he doesn't care.

What is important to him is the satisfaction of Midnight Inn's guests.

Leon received the book and sent it to the Babel Domain. After everything was finished, he left this place.

The innkeeper once again bowed. "We look forward to your next visit, Mr. Error"

Ring…

The sound of the bell and the door closing filled the entire room. The Innkeeper immediately went to the back and the Midnight Inn closed until midnight the following night.

Outside, Leon returned to the same place as before. He saw that the building behind him had disappeared, leaving behind an empty courtyard that had no owner.

"The experience was truly amazing." Leon walked away with a faint smile on his face. It was a smile filled with happiness that he rarely showed.

If John saw it, this was the smile Leon showed when he successfully climbed Mount Everest.

If Alex saw it, this was the smile shown by Leon when he was exploring the beautiful cave under the sea.

If Tsukishima saw it, this was the smile Leon showed on his wedding day.

They were all in different places and watching it in different places. But one thing was for sure, it was this smile that made the trip with Leon seem so worth it.

"There's still time until… are you still here?" Leon looked at the empty street in front of him.

Even though there was no one in front, just with magic sense alone, he could see that 10 people were waiting for him in front while hiding themselves with magic.

Each has 2 rings surrounding them and one person with 3 rings.

"You finally showed up." The man with three rings walked out and removed his concealment magic.

"So it was you." Leon looked at the man in front of him. Even though he only met once, he remembered this person. It was the person who rampaged in front of the Betlam Family mansion earlier.

Why is he here? Leon asked in his heart. He didn't remember ever looking for trouble with this person.

"I don't remember that I offended you before. So what does this mean?" Leon looked at them while holding his wand. He tapped the crystal while waiting for the other party.

"It is nothing. We don't have any grudges. But I want you dead." The man smiled and began to cast his magic.

He casts a magic that is so mainstream and so cliche that all fantasy wizards use it.

Fireball.

"10 seconds." Leon estimated how long it would take the man to finish casting his magic.

"It would be a disaster if he released that magic here," Leon said as he raised his staff to block the attack from one of the people who attacked him.

Even if they hid themselves, Leon could see them without exerting the slightest Mana. The magic sense that developed from magic techniques, the basis of the quest for perfection turned all the senses he had into something called the perfect Eye.

It was a foundation that could be developed so widely and become what Leon wanted.

The 9 people surrounded Leon and attacked him from all sides. Strangely, they don't even use magic or Mana in their bodies. Therefore, Leon could easily overcome it.

With magic

"Restrain." Leon said one word in a language he called Unification Language. It was a common language used by those living in the Babel region.

That language is not something that should exist in this world. Since no one knew about it, then it was very suitable for him to use at the moment.

The 9 people were silent and couldn't move an inch. No matter how hard they tried to move their bodies, something strange restrained their actions.

They looked at Leon with frightened expressions. Just one word from Leon caused them to be unable to move their bodies. They shouted while begging the person behind them.

Leon didn't move an inch and just looked at the man who was casting Fireball. Their eyes met but neither of them moved.

A long 10 seconds had passed but the man didn't move at all.

"It's a trap," Leon muttered in his heart. Even when he found out, Leon still didn't move an inch.
