"Ah, that's not a problem... Provided you pay the rental fee according to the price." Answer the female receptionist with a friendly expression.
"How much?"
"50 Gold per day... It's just the cost of renting the building."
"So we have to provide our own food?" Ask Clay who is not surprised by the price of the rental fee.
"Yes, young master." Answer the receptionist with a friendly smile.
"Well, I'll rent 1 day." Said Clay while taking 50 Gold out of his pants pocket.
Actually Clay did not take money out of his pants pocket, but rather he took money out of the system. But Clay pretends to take the money out of his pocket, so that the receptionist and the city guard Trumb are not surprised by the money that suddenly appears out of nowhere.
At once the female receptionist was curious about Clay's identity.
The receptionist did not expect that the teenager in front of him had this much money.
"Are you a noble of the human race, sir?" Ask the receptionist while receiving money from Clay.
Unable to answer, Trumb suddenly interrupted their conversation. "Did you know? This young master is a friend of the princess... That's why I dare recommend her to your place."
The receptionist was surprised to glare at his eyeballs. "I'm sorry for my stupidity, young master... I didn't know that you were a friend of the princess."
Clay replied, keeping a relaxed expression. "No problem..." Clay stopped saying for a few seconds, then he spoke again. "Then don't I have to sign anything?"
"Ah, undaunted... I forgot hehehe... You just need to fill in these data and sign here." Said the receptionist while showing her a piece of paper.
Clay began to read from the contents of the piece of paper, he read that the contents of the paper was just an agreement that Clay had rented lodging for one day and paid for it in full.
Finally Clay filled in the data and signed the paper.
After that, the receptionist lent him the keys to the inn and he immediately left the place.
"I'll be back tomorrow... We also received a food service, sir. If you need it, please contact us at the building next door." Said the woman's receptionist in a polite manner and tone, then she left Clay and Trumb behind.
After the receptionist's departure, Clay now gives Trumb a tip or payment.
"It's 1 Gold... Accept it." Say Clay gently and politely while giving 1 Gold to Trumb.
The look on Trumb's face immediately flowered, he did not expect that he would get that much money just because it delivered Clay to the inn.
"Is this not too much sir?" Said Trumb trying to make small talk with Clay.
"No, take it..."
"Thank you, sir... You are very generous..." Trumb stopped talking for a few seconds and then came back. "I'll be leaving soon, sir... If you need my help, I'm ready to help you."
Instantly Clay has an idea to hire people who are familiar with the city. "Hm, then... Do you want to work with me? Just one day... Because I'm in this town for only one day."
"It just so happens that young master... Tomorrow I am off and off duty. I'm willing to work with you." Trumb replied with a happy and happy face because one step away he would get extra money to meet his daily life.
"But there are conditions." This time Clay said with a serious look and a slightly firm tone.
"What is it, young master?"
"You have to be honest and trustworthy... That's all!"
"I am a guard of the royal city of Grandle... I will definitely do a good and proper job, sir." Trumb said confidently.
After a few seconds, Trumb asked Clay again. "But sir... What kind of job is that? I don't want it to be criminal work."
"Of course not... But before you know what to do, let me call them inside." Said Clay as he walked out of the room then called out to all his subordinates who were currently waiting outside.
"Ah right sir... Ii'm sorry. I forgot about them too."
"Hm, that's okay."
They all seemed very happy and did not expect that they would stay in this very beautiful and luxurious place.
"Are we really sleeping in a place this good?"
"Is it okay to sleep in a place like this?"
"Wahh... Am I a dream? We'll sleep in a fancy place."
"Sstttt... Don't embarrass the young master! Do you still doubt the kindness of young master?"
"No... I believe that young master is a good master."
"Then, stop acting so shamefully!"
...

The conversation between the members of the Black Dragon Guild continued for a while.
Until finally Zen said. "Do your respective tasks quickly... We're going back to looking for the monster core again."
"Okay, chief."
"Wait!" Clay stopped their work.
"What's up, sir?" Ask Zen politely.
"Let go down the personal gear and that guy alone... For merchandise and valuables, you just sell... I don't want to bother carrying all this heavy stuff."
"Good young master. We'll sell it..."
The Black Dragon Guild members immediately put down and tidied up his wares, as well as brought Vargus into the room.
While Vargus is being moved to his room with his iron cage, Trumb accidentally sees Vargus' face.
"Who is he? Why did he look so pale and had such an empty gaze... Arghh better not interfere in their affairs." Trumb said in his heart, he had not realized and realized that the person he had just seen was a royal fugitive.
After all the preparations were done, now the Black Dragon Guild members went bidding to go back to look for the monster core.
"Master, we'll go to the Guild to buy monster cores." Zen said with his polite demeanor.
"Go away... And here's the money." Clay replied while giving the rest of the money that Zen had given him earlier.
"But sir... Do we still have money from selling merchandise? You don't have to give us any more money, I think that's enough." Answer Zen who is not used to bringing a lot of money.
"No problem... What's wrong with this just in case the money is lacking." Said Clay who kept giving a bag of money.
"All right, sir."
Finally, Zen left with the rest of the Guild members to leave the place.
A few steps after they say goodbye to Clay, Clay stops them. "Wait..."
"What's up, sir?"
"Go back before sunset... I miss the party atmosphere hahaha." Said Clay with a cheerful look.
"Good, sir... Then we'll also buy some meat."
"No need... You guys just focus on finding the monster core, I'll buy the meat."
"Okay, young master. We'll be gone soon."
"Yes." Yeah."
