  “Is that room on the fourth floor?”Bunduk asked nervously.

  “Yes.”Kant nodded, he said, “I heard that the original inn was originally a fifth-floor inn. However, after experiencing the racial war in the city, the various floors of the inn were damaged at different levels. The fourth floor was the most severely damaged, so the midget smiths in charge of repairing it planned to rebuild the fourth and fifth floors. However, this proposal was rejected by the inn owner, saying that he did not want the inn to appear too prominent on the entire street. He only requested that the fourth and fifth floors be renovated and merged into one floor. “Therefore, some rooms on the fourth floor still have the house number on the fifth floor.”


  “I see.”Abel took a deep breath and sighed. “I didn’t expect it to be because of the war.”


  “Then, why are the rooms on the fourth floor not open to the public again?”Bunduk asked in puzzlement.

  “I also asked the waiter about this question, but he also said: he doesn’t know.”Kant shook his head and said.

  “In that case, the truth about this matter should be the privacy of this inn, right?”Abel commented.

  “But that waiter doesn’t seem to be pretending.”Kant recalled the tone and expression of the waiter in the hall when he answered him.

  “Don’t worry about that for now.”Bunduk waved his hand and said, “Your Highness, what did you find in that room?”


  “The inn owner is also a member of the Dark Side. The desk in that room is filled with all the travel records after we went ashore by the sea. In the folder of the bookcase, there are a lot of information about the members of the dark side that we haven’t seen before. “I found pick and Shadow in there,”Kant explained in a deep voice.

  “How is that possible?”After hearing Kant’s statement, Abel’s heart almost jumped out of his chest. He blurted out, “The inn owner couldn’t have been framed, right?”


  “When I ate with the inn owner before, I found that his habitual hand was left-handed. “This means that he is left-handed,”Kant replied. “The whole inn, including the cashier, the cook, the waiter, and so on. “He is the only one who is left-handed. Judging from the furnishings in the room, it is indeed for the convenience of left-handed people.”


  “I don’t think we can make a conclusion right away.”After hearing Kant’s words, bunduk hesitated and said, “Let’s continue to investigate and compare.”


  “You’re right.”Kant nodded and said, “But I still want to testify on the spot with the inn owner. Let’s end this quickly.”


  “Okay.”Bunduk and Abel said in unison.

  Kant took out a information form from his clothes. The portrait on it was of Pick.

  “The inn owner will leave the town tomorrow. We must find him before then,”Kant said with a determined expression.

  “Should we mobilize our own people to search the town, or let the inn’s attendant inform him?”Bunduk asked in puzzlement.

  “You don’t have to worry about that.”Kant stood up and walked to the entrance. After hearing the footsteps and discussions outside the door, he said confidently, “We just need to wait quietly at the entrance of the stairs on this floor.”


  “It’s on fire! It’s on Fire!”The waiter who was busy cleaning the streets threw his broom to the ground when he saw the thick smoke coming out of the window on the fourth floor. He rushed into the shop and shouted, “The fourth floor is on fire!”


  The waiter who was busy in the lobby rushed to the outside of the shop and looked at the fire upstairs.

  “What should we do?”The waiters asked the waiter who was standing at the front anxiously.

  The waiter who was being watched by the crowd was Nate, who was temporarily appointed as the captain of the waiters.

  Nate frowned. His position as the temporary captain was decided internally by the employees. And his performance during this period of service was crucial to whether he could be promoted to an accountant.

  When such a thing suddenly happened, Nate could not help but panic. He called out to a young waiter beside him, “Quick! Quickly inform the boss! And you guys, follow me up to put out the fire.”


  “Yes!”The waiter who was called out immediately nodded and agreed.

  He followed Nate back to the inn and rushed up the rotating stairs with brooms and the like.

  “Where are you guys going?”Bunduk who suddenly appeared at the stairs gave them a fright.

  “Lord…… Lord Bunduk, the fourth floor is on fire. I’ll bring people up to put out the fire,”Nate replied nervously.

  “On Fire? The fourth floor is the boss’s private area, right? I’m afraid it’s not good for you to rush in like this,”Bunduk said worriedly for them.

  “That’s true. We’ve never gone up there before. However, the situation is critical now, so we can only offend him,”Nate replied.

  “Alright then. Do you need my help?”Bunduk nodded and continued to ask.

  “No, no need.”Nate hurriedly waved his hand and said, “The fire isn’t too serious. Just the few of us will be enough.”


  “Mm, that’s good. I Won’t disturb you.”After confirming that Kant, who was downstairs, had made a ‘yes’gesture to him, Bunduk silently let Nate and the others pass.

  After watching the group leave, Bunduk walked down the stairs and sat down at the tea table where Kant and Abel were. He asked, “Has the messenger really set off?”


  “Yes.”Abel nodded. He was the one who had to confirm this matter.

  “Your Highness, you said that you set a fire on the fourth floor. You didn’t burn all the documents, did you?”Bunduk asked worriedly.

  “No.”Kant waved his hand and said, “I just put a part of our information into the brazier and burned it.”


  “That’s good.”Bunduk calmed down and said, “After all, we still don’t know who the owner of this room is.”


  “Yes.”Abel nodded in agreement.

  After a while, Nitte and the others carried the brazier down the stairs in a noisy manner.

  With a thud, the Brazier, which had been burnt black, was thrown onto the floor tiles in the lobby. Nate looked around, he said angrily, “Who is it? ! Who Did this prank? If you are not satisfied with anything, you can just tell me directly. What is the meaning of this?”


  He led his men and rushed upstairs. When he carefully walked into the room, he found a brazier, which was emitting black smoke, placed by the window.

  Nate was completely enraged. In his eyes, the person who did this at this time was targeting him.

  “If you have the guts to do it, why don’t you admit it? Come out and let’s fight,”Nate Roared.

  Bunduk sighed softly, while Kant and Abel completely ignored Nate’s roar.
