The old man's super friendly!
Beds are clean.
Unlimited water usage.

The capital's best-kept secret!
Thanks to the old man, I even befriended locals.
A bit hard to find, but that just adds to the charm.
B-Rank Adventurer (Rildo Fan)
★★★★★
No better base in Ostria!
Slightly off the main streets—perfectly quiet.
F-Rank Adventurer (Haunted by Rildo's Energy)

Stumbled in by chance—way better than expected!
Old man's a little too energetic, but it's the kind of thing you laugh about later.

"Yaaawn... sleepy—wait, Milfie!?"
"Zzzzz..."
I woke up in a fluffy bed. Private room, welcome drink included.
And Milfie was sleeping right next to me.
There was another bed, but she'd crawled into mine instead.
… Does she like me? Like, like me?
Maybe I’m just that handsome now. I do look pretty cool.
Yeah. I’m a dangerous man.
"—Hhhtchuu!"
Then it hit me.
"... You were cold, huh?"
"Meow~... mornin’, Tabito~"
"Morning. Why my bed?"
"Was cold... Tabito’s warm, meow~"
As she stretched, her perfectly proportioned assets swayed.
… Had she been snuggling against me all night?
Guess I’m staying up late tonight.
Milfie yawned and started stretching—insane flexibility. Catfolk things.
"This place is great, isn’t it? Hard to believe it’s only five copper coins per person.”
"Yeah. Just like the reviews said. Everything’s—"

"Gahaha! First time in the capital, eh? Eat up! C’mon, take more!"
Downstairs, jacked old man Rildo had prepared breakfast.
Fresh milk bread, creamy soup, and unlimited salad—all free with stay.
Absolutely perfect. Just like the reviews promised.
"Elder Rildo, this place is amazing."
"Damn right! Built it myself!"
"It’s a really good place~ I love it here, meow~!"
"Hah! Y’all are good kids! Here, eat more!"
He piled extra bread onto our plates. I’ll praise him a hundred more times.
"But why so cheap?"
"Used to be an adventurer. Saw how lodgings scammed rookies. Wanted to make a fair place."
"Makes sense. Other places were crazy expensive..."
Last night, we’d checked reviews while wandering. Most places had complaints—overpriced, last-minute cancellations.
We stumbled onto this gem. Even at night, Rildo greeted us with energy.
"Stick around the capital awhile? Ol’ Rildo’s got your back! Retired, but I’ll teach ya everything!"
"Thanks, Elder Rildo."
"‘Old man’ works too!"
"Thanks, old man."
"Fast learner, ain’tcha?"
Absolute legend. But then I noticed—his right leg was prosthetic.
The reviews mentioned it. Failed mission injury.
Adventurers seem cool in stories. But this world? Not so forgiving.
Rildo’s cheer was infectious, but it also reminded me—stay sharp.
"Tabito, ready to go!"
"Yeah, let’s head out."
Today’s plan: sell monster parts, explore the capital.
With the reviews, we’ll learn even more.
"Hold up, kid."
"Hm?"

"GAHAHA! Lookin’ good!"
"Whoa, it’s easy to move in."
"Tabito, it suits you so well.”
"Old man, really giving these to me?"
"Your old rags were bloodstained. I’ll wash ’em for ya."
"You’re too good to us."
"Gahaha! Call me ‘Big Bro Rildo’!"
"Thanks, old man."
Now dressed in brown adventurer-style gear (Rildo’s old gear), I checked the fit.
"Wait, the right pant leg’s shorter... don’t tell me—"
"Gahaha! Don’t sweat it!"
"Well, gives it that ‘distressed jeans’ look.—Alright, we’re off."
"Atta kid!"
[Milfie] ★★★★★Bed was so fluffy, meow~!
Huge breakfast portions right in the morning, meow. [Tabito] ★★★★★
Cheap, comfy, perfect hospitality.
Old man’s energy is unmatched.
And the slight chill? Perfect for cuddling.
