Even now, he was quite scared, his chubby face turned slightly pale.
Then he noticed the old and young pair who suddenly appeared like ghosts were the same two people who came to the inn last night and gave him a hard time about the price. He breathed a small sigh of relief. The young man now had a Barrier Blade with a wooden handle and copper sheath at his waist, which suddenly hit the table with a not-too-loud but noticeable sound.
The shopkeeper's mouth twitched, and a thought arose in his mind.
Could it be that the military men who went up earlier today blathered about and revealed the room rates? And now these two are coming down to settle the bill?
Settle the bill?!!
It would have been better if two ghosts came instead!
He regretted it in his heart.
