I could hear birds chirping. Milwa slowly opens her eyes.
The morning sun was shining through the window. Is it morning already? He stretches out in his bed, muttering to himself.
The blankets are warm. The temperature in the room is a little low, but not too cold. In other words, it is kept at the most comfortable temperature.
In a daze, Milwa thinks. What the heck is this contraption?
It was full of surprises. This hotel was full of tricks that she had never seen before.
The first thing that surprised her was the hand wash. The first thing that surprised her was the hand wash.
I have traveled to many places in my life, but this was the first time for me to see a hand-washroom with a flush system. I had seen hand-washing facilities built on the river, but this was the first time to see such a device in a room.
Most hotels and inns usually had hand-washing facilities outside of the rooms. In some cases, there were no hand-washing facilities and one had to use them outside the room. Here, however, they have them inside the rooms. That alone was enough of a surprise to Mirwa, but here, when you turn on the faucet, the water flows with great force to flush away the filth. ....... It was by far the cleanest and most comfortable.
The next surprise was the bathroom. Here, the hot water would rush out when you turned on the faucet. The amount of water could be adjusted by the faucet, instead of gushing hot water like in Hotel Krumphal. She had no idea how the hot water was made to come out.
Still, as she soaked herself in the bathtub, stretching out her arms and legs, she felt as if all the fatigue in her body was being removed. I knew this was it. When I decide on my next place to live, I will definitely install this device. I mutter to myself.
As I soak in the hot water, the desire to make the Hotel Krumphal my own begins to grow in my mind.
As I recall, I heard that the management of that hotel was in the hands of the King of Agartha. If the king dies, we will have a chance to get that hotel. It would be great if we could get that hotel and live there. If we could add this trick to that one, we could have the best days of our lives. I couldn't stop the excitement of imagining a life where I could do what I wanted to do and eat what I wanted to eat every day.
Feeling satisfied, I get out of the bathtub, wipe my body with a towel, and fall into bed. Lying on her back, she gazed at the ceiling in a daze, and soon fell asleep. She surrenders herself to it, turns off the light in the room, covers herself with a blanket and falls asleep.
I wonder how long she slept. She must have slept for nearly ten hours. Her body felt a little sluggish, but her mind was full.
I slowly sat up, picked up the glass that was beside me, and poured water from the china that was placed right beside me. As I sipped it slowly, it tasted a little sweet. I wondered if water is supposed to taste like this. Thinking of this, you slurp it down and drink it.
You take a deep breath and look around. The slightly chilled air feels good against your skin. She gets off the bed and stands tall once more.
......Somehow, all of her senses seem to be sharpened. I feel like I can do anything. She felt like she could do anything. She felt energy welling up from within her body.
I changed my clothes and looked out the window. The morning sun is beautifully decorating the landscape of the Imperial City. The streets are paved with cobblestones, giving a sense of tradition. The atmosphere conveys the dignity of a world power. The thought of wreaking havoc in such a town is not a bad idea, and it makes me feel excited. The sight of people suffering, people screaming at the sight of people falling to the ground....... The face of the Heedata empire, the world's most powerful nation, will be destroyed. It is truly exhilarating.
Just then, there is a knock at the door. You can tell by the sound that it is not Albe. When I ask to enter the room, the maid from yesterday is reverently waiting for me. They said breakfast was ready and began to prepare the meal. The menu consisted of bread, salad, soup, and meat dishes.
It was the first time for me to be served meat in the morning. I thought it was the most appropriate menu for me, as I was planning to start some activities. Milwa was surprised at the attention to detail of the hotel, but she did not hide her happiness and smiled with satisfaction.
She immediately put the meal in her mouth. Delicious," he mutters to himself. It tastes as good as the one at Hotel Krumphal. The taste of the meat is especially good. The more you bite into it, the more the juices overflow. Reset the fat with bread and salad.
After savoring all the dishes in a blink of an eye, an indescribable feeling of satiety envelops her body. Everything feels ready.
Just then, there is a knock at the door. With her heightened senses, she knows instantly that it is Albe. I ask him to enter the room, thinking that he must be a bit clever to come at this time. He was standing in front of the door with his head down.
He is still a bitter man, I think, but the comfortable feeling of being surrounded by him right now is keeping my anger from boiling over. Mirwa gets up and walks over to him, calling out as she passes him.
I thought I heard Albe giggling behind me, but I paid no attention. He was probably talking nonsense about what happened to his luggage and how he was going to pay for the hotel. My luggage was already in the infinite storage, and the payment for the hotel was not important in view of what was about to happen. She left the hotel without looking back.
She wanders around the town, looking for a place to spread the poison. It would be better if a lot of people die anyway. It would create more commotion and make it easier to escape in the chaos. Then, a big well would be good.
However, no matter how hard you search for a well, you cannot find one. Usually such wells are located in the center of the town, but there is no such well. Mirwa stops in front of a store that catches her eye.
"Come in."
I'm sorry, but I need a glass of water.
We're not a restaurant.
I know. I want a drink of water, but I need you to tell me where the well is.
A well? There is no such thing.
No well? What are you doing with the water?
Water? That."
The owner squares his jaw. He looked and saw a cock that had been installed in his hotel room. It seemed to work in such a way that water would come out when the cock was turned on.
"Are you travelers? Here in the capital, you have to twist that to get water. If you're thirsty, you can drink it on your own.
What the hell is that, ......?
"I don't know the details, though. There's a magic stone in it. It's used to pump up the water that flows underground. They used to use wells in the past, but since His Majesty the Emperor ascended to the throne, they've been pumping water from the ground. They did that work for free, so thank you very much.
Mirwa's eyes are black and white as she only understands half of what the owner has said. The owner explained to her as if he were chewing her words.
According to him, there is drinking water flowing underground in the capital, and the houses in the capital draw water from there. When Mirwa asked where the water comes from, the owner explained that the water is collected in a building behind the palace.
"...... Then let's throw some poison there."
After leaving the owner, Mirwa muttered to no one in particular. She continued her words with a smile as she stared at the Emperor's castle looming in the distance.
"The castle is probably heavily guarded, but it will be easy to sneak in with the help of my spirit. There, I will spread your poison. I wonder how many people will die. Hey! Sprinkle all the poison you've made! Okay?"
"The ......"
What is it?
"I couldn't make ...... the poison."
What?
We didn't have enough chemicals to make the poison.
Mirwa stopped and looked back. She had a look of dismay on her face.
