「We have about 500,000 chrones left over in pocket, so we’re fine. Although staying a month in the most pricey room would be questionable……」

Realizing just how much money they still had on hand, Tatsuya and Makoto’s eyes flew wide open in surprise, which was to be expected. Near half of these dividends stemmed from their near monopoly on curry powder/miso/soy sauce as well as for the royal family’s love of instant ramen, which they also received payment for. Probably best that no one in the group knew this.

「When did we get so much……」

「Not by illegal means, but I don’t think you want to know.」

「Heck does that mean……」

As they continued this careless conversation in not the best location, the front desk receptionist brought along a somewhat splendid looking man out to meet them.

「Thank you for your patience. You will have the manager of this hotel guide you all to your room.」

「Pleased to meet you, and thank you for coming to Grand Forre. It is a great honor to welcome all of you from Azuma Workshop, famous and rumored about far and wide..」

The manager of the most highly esteemed hotel actually came all the way out, giving the group the best possible reception and causing them to freeze in astonishment.

「Eh, ehm. It’s we who should be thanking you for your gracious reception!」

This was very out of the blue, but they couldn’t just stay awestruck. Haruna did her best (though not perfect) to put on a professional greeting.

「Sorry for asking such a dumb question, but……」

「What might you like to know？」

「We’re very honored and all, but why does one as high up as yourself come down to greet and guide normal young adults like ourselves？」

「How peculiar of you to say something like that. There is no one in this establishment who would be so ignorant as to belittle Azuma Workshop, recognized by the royal families of Farlane and Darl for making superior products higher than even first class as being nothing more than young people.」

「Whoa……」

Haruna just groaned at the manager’s statement. It was true that both the royal families of Farlane and Darl were directly stocking themselves with goods from Azuma Workshop. However, currently, this was because no one had yet figured out all the particulars with buying from Azuma Workshop, plus for Wulls they only used ingredients that anyone in Wulls could get their hands on. Besides, although Hiroshi and Mio were exceptional by this world’s standards in the business, anyone else from the workshop had yet to leave the realm of normal craftsmen.

Honestly, they were being overhyped.

「But I feel like we got permission even before introducin’ ourselves. Are our faces all that recognizable, sir？」

「No. However, employees at our Grand Forre do not look down on anyone, regardless of position.」

「Oh? And why is that？」

「The equipment that all of you have. Although I am but an amateur in that field, I do know that your equipment is not the kind that any novice adventurer can carry around. Regardless of how you went about obtaining these items, we would never reject anyone who owns and looks the part, ad I certainly do not know of any employee who would behave in this manner.」

The manager declared with a very earnest look on his face. Indeed, it would appear that this hotel’s legacy and status was no mere decoration.
