Well... Not what he expected. Rena seemed to be a bit too tired today for his jokes. Noboyuki seemed a bit annoyed that she felt like that, but nevertheless, he'd leave her alone for the time being. He better than anyone knew just how much people hated being pushed around when they didn't feel all that well. So, he just walked to the hamlet alongside her, just as silent as she was. At the very least, it wasn't an uncomfortable silence. They walked all the way there and Rena, being a little too secretive, talked to the owner. Well, now what the hell should he do now that Rena started flirting with the elderly owner of the inn? He leant against a wall, waiting for the next thing to happen while he waited for Rena. Still, it sure was nice to finally have some kind of actual place to stay in, unlike most of the times that they camped outside. Being a hero had its perks, every now and then. For instance, if he were to go to a bar and say he was the hero, a lot, and he meant, A LOT, of women would start swarming him. Whether they searched for political power, money, or simply liked a man with status, didn't matter. At the very least, it made Noboyuki feel relieved. Maybe he'd do it again one of these days. Not today, though. He was just as tired, and he needed some rest before the monster hunt for the night. Finally, Rena came out and they went to their room. It always disappointed Noboyuki immensely that there were two beds in the room, though. [B]"Hey, Renaaa...."[/B] He protested, much like a child. [B]"How much did this cost? I bet getting a double room was expensive. Why not have a single room so we can cuddle closely together?"[/B] Even though he said so, he was already making his way to the bed. [B]"But, not that it matters anymore. You should also get some rest, we are busy during the night."[/B] He said, and didn't realize until later that what he said could be badly misunderstood. But he didn't care anymore. The fluffiness of an actual bed swallowed him whole and his eyes became heavier by the minute. Soon enough, he was asleep. Well, if the princess had something to thank Noboyuki for was his lack of snores during night time.
