Restarting Life In Another World - 166 4.28 Let us stay with you

Continuously traveling and fighting with little to no rest might sound cool to others. But those who go through that know how troublesome it can be.

After I finished my dinner, I quickly rushed towards my room. The inn had several rooms, so arranging individual rooms for the four of us wasn’t a big deal.

The room was smaller than what I was used to, with a double bed at the corner. In this world, transferring large furniture was a pain, so it was no surprise that they left it here.

Even though there was nothing else in the room except that bed, in my state, it was the most amazing thing in the world. After dealing with all the potential threats, I had earned my sleep.

I stretched myself since my body was a little cramped. This was not a habit, but I had heard that this would help with the fatigue, so I decided to try it.

I then changed my clothes; I had bought a change of clothes along with other equipment necessary for the journey. It was just a simple pajama, which I rarely used to wear. However, since I was going to be King’s guest in his palace, these few minor things were necessary.

Compared to our previous journeys, I was traveling as the duke’s messenger, and unfortunately—the hero who fought against archdemons this time. Because of that, I was allowed to carry as many things as I liked.

However, since the whole city had been destroyed and there was barely anything left, I couldn’t carry much even though I wanted to.

“Well, there is a lot to do tomorrow. But for today, I guess sleep is my justice.”

Right as I said justice, I remembered Flare was keeping guards outside. She didn’t require any sleep and loved watching stars in the night sky. This was why she liked staying on the roof during the nights.

However, even though that was the case, I left the window open if she ever wanted to come inside.

Now that I had nothing to worry about, I could sleep as much as I wanted. Or that is what I thought. However, the reality is rarely as planned.

Right when I was about to fall asleep, I heard a knock on the door.

The knock was soft, which meant that we were not under some sort of emergency. And since it was unusual for others to disturb me at these hours, that must mean it could either be princesses or Markus.

Markus was under suspicion because I knew how curious nobles could be. They wouldn’t hesitate one bit to quell their thirst for knowledge. The way he was staring at me and grinning all day pointed towards that fact.

After everything that happened back in the city and on this journey, there could be a lot of things that he could be curious about.

“Nara, can we come in.”

“Give me a moment.”

I didn’t want to leave my bed, but it would be rude to just keep them on the door for long. I reluctantly left my bed and opened the door.

“I hope we didn’t disturb you,” Princess Eliane said with a smile.

I was thinking about answering, ‘maybe just a little bit.’ But then I realized it would make them feel bad, so I kept the thought to myself. It wasn’t just that; I also wanted to know their reasons for coming here this late.

“Not at all. Please come in.”

Both of them were wearing nightgowns, but the designs of their clothes were drastically different.

Princess Eliane’s dress was more on the sexy side and was displaying her curves perfectly. Her developed breasts caught my attention for a while, but I quickly averted my gaze towards Princess Anna.

However, that didn’t go very well. Princess Anna looked so lovely in her pink gown that I was just one step away from cuddling her.

The room had no furniture except my bed, so I let the two of them sit there while I just kept on standing. Since there was nothing, it was much harder to divert my concentration into something else.

Every time I try to look somewhere else, my concentration would fall on them involuntarily. If this continued, keeping myself tamed was going to be hard.

“…So, is there anything that you guys wanted to talk about.”

My eyes fell on princess Eliane’s chest as I was saying that. She noticed that, but she just smiled in response.

“You know, we had been thinking…”

It was unusual to see Princess Anna being shy like this. She was usually energetic and forward. She was the type who could speak her mind without any sort of fear or hesitation.

She looked towards Princess Eliane, who sighed in response. Up to now, I was completely clueless about what was going on in their head.

“She just wanted to say that the two of us would like to stay with you tonight.”

“But—”

I was going to say something and refuse, but before I could, Princess Anna jumped forward and hugged me.

“Please let us stay with you. You have been so distant as of late. I just want to be close to you.”

“But we aren’t married… and you guys are princesses, so that won’t be right.”

“Yes, but…”

She was going to say something, but she stopped. However, the way she was hugging me even tighter made it apparent that she still had something in her mind.

She felt warm all of a sudden, and I felt strangely attracted to her. Before I even realized it, I was hugging her back.

“Alright, the two of you can stay here… and if there is something in your mind, please don’t hesitate to tell me.”

Princess Eliane stood up and hugged me from behind. “Yes, and there are a few things that we want to talk to you about. We know you are tired, but once we reach the capital, we might not get the opportunity to.”
