When I get back to the inn I enter through the third floor window, inside I can see Anne waiting for me.
“About time you came back, Anna’s been worried sick over you. Come on now, we were just about to have dinner.”
Alright, I’ll be back down soon, just let me unpack a few things.
She then exits the room and closes the door behind her.
A white orb then flies out from the book and forms into a dumbly smiling and drooling Lizz.
“Food…” *drip* *drip*
‘Is that all she can think about?’
“HEY! That’s really rude!” She shouts whilst pointing at me.
Did… Did you just…?
“What!? What did I do!?”
She then widens her eyes in surprise.
“Wait, I… I heard you… even though I’m not in the book…?”
*knock* *knock*
Before we can even think about it properly we hear a few knocks coming from the door.
“Hurry up already! Food’s getting cold!”
“Oh shit! Plush, we gotta hurry!”
‘*sigh*’
Due to both Lizz’s and Anne’s insistence, I go out the door and follow Anne to the dining room.
In the dining room there’s a large table, Anne sits on one side of the table next to Anna, and on the other side are…
“Heya!”

“He-hello…”
Hannah and Joanne.
All of them have already started eating.
Err… Hi?
“Hello!” Replies Hannah cheerily, greeting me for the second time, albeit this time with s light blush.
*paff*
“Oh! I get it!” Lizz suddenly shouts after hitting her hands together in realization.
“This is the quartets’ inn, so that means all four of you are sisters, righ!?”
Anne then replies in a very monotone voice.
“Woooow… Watch out everyone, we got a real smarty here…”
“Hey!” Shouts Lizz back at Anne, Anne then smiling mischievously.
Well okay, so you guys are siblings? Are all of you the only ones running this place?
“Yup” responds Anna.
“In order of age, Anne takes care of the registry and important document, I take care of room service and cleaning and such, Hanna is our bodyguard, she’s gotten a lot of experience in fighting from being an adventurer, and Joanne is our chef, she’s the one who cooked all this food.”
“Wow! You made all this!?” Asks Lizz, her eyes glittering like snow on a sunny day and a stream of drool going down her cheeks and chin.
Joanne then looks down at the floor with red cheeks.
“Ye-yes…”
“Well I’ll just sit here then!”
Lizz then sits down one of the sides of the table and starts chomping down food like it’s her last meal.
Although I had something I wanted to ask Hannah, Lizz makes too much sound while eating to have a proper conversation.
After all the food is finally gone, Anne, Hanna and Joanne immediately shuffles off to bed due to food coma, while Anna stays and cleans up the table and Lizz lays down on my head.
Hey, Anna.
“Hm?”
Do you know if Hannah is going somewhere tomorrow?
“She shouldn’t be, how so?”
I’m joining the adventurers’ guild, and since I’m new around here I could use some help to get to know where the monsters I need to subjugate are.
“Really? Are you sure you’re allowed to get help?”
Well when I was at the guid earlier today one of the staff members asked if she could help me, so I assume it’s fine.
“Well alright, I’ll tell her tomorrow, just to make sure she doesn’t run off anywhere before you get to talk.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
I then walk off back to my room and lay down in my bed after I put the book below it.
‘Good night.’
Feeling too comfortable in the bed, I drift off to sleep without realizing that I heard her speak without her actually talking, the same way that I heard her when she was in the book.
