The next day, Nahida was not at Rimuru's house, so he did not see the generator start working. The generator made a strange noise and had a small "screen" signaling it was working.

It was generating power.

"That's great. Now we must wait a little longer until we can use the energy. I wonder if Nahida has already bought the computers and televisions I requested." Rimuru left his house and was surprised by Souei.

"Rimuru-sama." He suddenly appeared.

"What is it, Souei?"

"It's about that man. Are you sure it's okay to trust him?"

"Yes, don't worry about him. Nahida came from the same place as me; I trust him."

"From the same place as you?"

"It's a long story... But you don't have to worry; we won't have a problem with him. Oh, and speaking of him, he will be here at my home for a few days starting today. Also, I need you to get someone good at serving customers."

"Someone good at serving customers? Can it be one of the goblins?"

"Yes. Nahida is worried about his inn, so he asked me to get someone to stay in the reception while he is away. He asked for someone smart and who learns things quickly."

"It will be hard to get someone like that. How about Nazuna?"

"Nazuna... I don't remember her."

"She's one of the goblinas. She's the same one you sent to your friend's room while he was sleeping in your house."

"Ah, that girl. But are you sure she can handle a job like that?"

"Yes, I'm sure. She's a very clever girl, though she doesn't look it."

"Right, call her over here. I'll take her to Nahida's inn."

"Right." Souei disappeared, and after a few minutes, Nazuna appeared. She was nervous as Souei had not explained why Rimuru had called her.

"No need to be nervous." Rimuru put his hands on his waist and smiled.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No, of course not." Rimuru waved his hand as he laughed. "I want you to come with me to Nahida's inn. You remember him, don't you?" Nazuna's face turned red at the same instant.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Despite the green color of her skin, the redness in her cheeks was so evident that it was clear she was dying of embarrassment. The night they spent together instantly came to her mind when she heard Nahida's name.

Rimuru tilted his head.

"What is it? Didn't you like him?" Rimuru thought Nahida had done something to her, but Nazuna denied it

"No, no, no. Of course not! He is a very kind man." She shook her head quickly, clearly stating that Nahida had done nothing.

"I see. So, do you want to come?" Rimuru wouldn't force her, but he knew she wouldn't refuse even if she didn't want to.

"Of course! I want to go. But why?"

"He'll explain everything when we get there. Shall we go then?"

"Can I put on some better clothes first?"

"... Sure, go ahead." Rimuru understood what was happening.

Sometime later, Rimuru and Nazuna arrived at Nahida's hotel. Nahida was at the reception. "Welcome. So you brought her." Nahida remembered Nazuna very well.

There was no way he could not remember.

"Yeah, any problems? Souei said she's a smart girl. I trust him." Nazuna was quite surprised to hear that Souei had complimented her. It was something she had not expected.

"No problem at all. I'm glad she's the one here. So, Nazuna, are you ready?"

"Ready?"

"Yes, prepared to study."

"Study?"

"That's right. Until the afternoon comes, you will have to learn how my inn works. It is very different from any other inn in your world."

"Well, I think I'm ready."

"Right. Rimuru, come back here in the afternoon. By the afternoon, she'll be ready to take care of everything here."

"Right. Work hard, Nazuna."

"I will!"

Rimuru left the hotel, and only Nazuna and Nahida remained at the reception. Nazuna looked away; she couldn't look directly into Nahida's eyes because of what had happened between them.

Nahida noticed this and giggled. "Don't be so nervous. So, shall we sit down? I've already prepared some things to teach you." Nahida had grabbed a notebook and a pen.

"Right..."

Nahida and Nazuna sat down at one of the tables.

The first thing Nahida did, was explain how his hotel worked. He told Nazuna that his hotel received guests from many different worlds. She had to learn about the prices of his hotel.

For people coming from Japan, it would be 4,000 yen.

For people from her world, it would be three bronze coins.

They were very different values. On top of that, there was also the value of the plates of food at his hotel. Nazuna had to learn all this.

Nahida explained very calmly while writing down the prices in a notebook. In addition to writing the prices in the currencies of the world of Dragon Ball, Japan, Fate, High School DxD, and Fairy Tail, Nahida wrote prices for many different worlds(Approximate values), just in case.

Nazuna understood his writing even though it was in Japanese. Again the theory of everyone speaking the same language inside the hotel was confirmed.

And about Nahida, since he went to Rimuru's world and could talk to everyone without a problem, he may have gained a universal language ability.

"In addition to prices, you also need to learn about the cities in these worlds. Whenever a new customer comes in, ask which city they are from, so you can identify their currency. Or you can ask what currency they will be paying in... It's most simple that way."

"Right."

So, after a few hours of studying, Nazuna was finally ready for her first day of unpaid work.

Rimuru arrived at Nahida's hotel, and Nazuna was already sitting behind the reception counter, ready to start her work. And just as the two were getting ready to leave, Shirou arrived at the hotel.

He entered and was surprised to see Nazuna sitting behind the counter.

'Green skin and pointed ears. What?' Shirou had read fantasy stories before. The girl's skin color was the same as the skin color of the goblins from some stories he had read.

Her ears were also similar.

But besides that, the girl had no other characteristics of a goblin. She was a pretty girl, similar to a human girl.

"Shirou, this girl's name is Nazuna; she will be working at the reception for a few days."

"Hm? Why?"

"I'm going on vacation. You will be primarily responsible for the hotel while I'm away. Please don't disappear like the last time I asked you to stay at the reception."

"But my working hours will still be the same, right?"

"Nazuna and Lucky will take care of the hotel while you are not here. Even if you are the main person in charge."

"Okay, I get it. But this girl..."

"Huh? Is there something wrong with me?" Nazuna asked. She knew Shirou came from another world because of his clothes, but she thought he already knew her race. But that wasn't the case.

"She's a goblin."

"A goblin..." Nahida hadn't explained how the hotel worked to Shirou, so he kept being surprised and tried to digest it all slowly.

"Shirou, I'll explain everything to you when I return."

"Right..."

"Then shall we go, Nahida?" Rimuru said.

Rimuru closed and opened the door again. Shirou saw the outside and was speechless. He blinked and shook his head, not understanding what had happened.

And before leaving, Nahida approached Shirou again.

"Take good care of Nazuna. People might do something stupid. Protect her."

"Right, I will," Shirou replied.

'I got a job in a strange place.' Shirou thought as he watched Nahida and Rimuru leave the hotel.

He grabbed his apron and got ready for his work. Nazuna smiled as she waited for the first customers to show up.
