Ruu and Lin were approaching the town called Wildelia - a small town where young adventurers could sell the monsters they caught for silver gold or even platinum coins if they were good at hunting powerful magic beasts.

The weather started to change. The clouds began to form above the ground. You could immediately tell it will rain as the dark clouds were closer and closer. The rain was getting more and more intense.

"Are you alright my princess? It looks like we ran out of luck today. The weather here is really getting bad".

"We should hurry and find a shealter before we get caught in even more scarier situation than this. Strong monsters might attack us along the way to the town".

"Hur..ry ...upp then. I'm getting scared"

The former princess couldn't resist to show her fear to our adventurer. Lin was kept inside of the kingdom capital for her whole life. She never seen those monsters so its natural for her to feel those emotions.

"For the name of the greatest adventurer ever lived "Ruu" I shall vow that I will never let anything bad happen to my newly-optained princess" He was kind of serious for a moment but he lost it at the end. They were both laughing. They completely forgot about the stormy weather

Skill acquired: "The king of laughs"

"Look Ruu there is an inn there!!!" They were near the town's entrence.so many buildings were sighted as they walk closer and closer.

"You have a good eye Lin. That might be the place we were looknig for", They both were soaking wet. Ruu thought that the princess might get a fever because of the cold rain. So he took her hand and began to ran to the sighted place.

"Why are we running Ruu?" We are already wet, so whats the point?"

"There is a good reason my princess. We need to hurry up"

Lin was clueless. She couldn't understand him at all. They were in front of the inn. "Collin's Inn", that was written on the the sign in front of them.

"Is someone there please. We're looking for a place to stay" As he was knocking the fron door one young green haired girl with ponytail oppened the door

 "Hello there. My name is Collin. Me and my father run this inn, if you'd like to have a stay in our inn this is the way inside".

"Yes we really need a place to stay. The weather is bad we can't be outside right now"

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

"Yeah I absolutely understand you. Lets  hurry up and get the girl with you to warmer place, she might get a cold".

The place wasn't that big. A typical small inn managed by family members. But it was enough for passing adventurers like Ruu and Lin"

"Hmm do we have new guest my beautiful Colly?"

"Yes father these are our new guests" She spoke those words with lots of respect towards her parent.

"Ohh how lovely.Please come here so we mans do our job as my daughter takes care of your partner." He saw that Lin was in a bad shape so he suggested help.

"Sounds good to me Boss"

The manager took Ruu to the table next to them and started to ask him few questions. Meanwhile Collin took away Lin to the bath.

"So I must ask you what kind of a room you want. I'm guessing that you will need a room for two right?"

"Thats correct manager. I need room big enough for me and my princess." The manager  was intrigued by those words. He had confusing look on his face as he couldn't understand the meaning of him calling his parnter a princess.

"Okey, I need you to write your names on this paper. The price for one room for two is 20 coins"

"Isn't that a little bit too much Sir" We just need a room big enough for two of us really"

"Let me think about it for a second." He went back to calculate the new price for the service for our adventurers.

"What about 18 with two meals every day for one week? Does  that sound good for you?"

"Hmm. Can you do it for 16 silver coins. We won't really stay for one week here".

"You are one heck of a merchant boy. Fine you got me, let it be sixteen then" He didn't want really want to lower the price but Ruu forced him to do so. Ruu has been to all sorts of places so he knows a lot about selling and buying.

Skill acquired: "The next level merchant"

Meanwhile Lin was taking a bath. She immediately felt better as she was relaxing in the warm water.

"This feels so good! I never imagined that I'd take bath outside the palace It feels completely different"

Collin was coming in with new cloths. "Here are new cloths for you to wear miss Lin".

"I took the old ones to fix them so please use these, You don't need to return them, think of them as a present from our inn.

"Thank you. I really don't have words to describe my gratitude miss Collin". Lin had really no words to show her thanks to her but Collin understood her even without the spoken words

"Anyway we are almost done with prepairing  your meal so when you finish your bath please call your parnter to join you",

"Okey. I'm almost done I will inform my knight about the meal"

"Cool. We will wait for you downstairs". Collin was intrigued by her words.

"Why does she call him personal knight. Maybe she is just trying to hide it that he is her lover. I need to know what kind of relationship is it. So interesting!!".

A couple of minutes have passed. She got upstairs to their room.

"Ruu, I'm coming in." When she entered the room she saw him dressing up. The princess was so embarrassed after she saw his bare chest that she instantly looked away.

"Don't let it bother you, my princess  It's natural for girl like you to give that kind of a innocent reaction.".

"Hmph, I can prove you wrong adventurer". She was a little bit frustrated because of him.

"See, I can almost see you from here".

The youngster started to laugh.

"Ohh my. Thats so brave my princess. I totally believe that you aren't as innocent as i thought". He was trying to mock her in funny way. After all, thats the thing he does. Soon after both of them were laughing inside of that small room.

"I almost forgot to tell you. They are waiting us downstairs, the meal is ready",

"Finally! I'm dying here. Lets go and eat, my princess"  As she noded her head he took her hand and went downstairs.
