Chapter 38: Chapter 38 - Old couple

 

A tiny inn with a shabby looking structure stood straight in one of the streets . It was so shabby that no one will feel attracted to even have a free food their . 

Inside the inn were only a few countable tables and chairs which was old looking and there was this counter where an old woman was sitting ,acting as a receptionist . 

Only one customer was seen inside the inn while waiting for his food . When look close it was none other than Jin woo who sat silently waiting patiently for the food . 

When Jin woo was strolling around the streets ,each of the place he went was fully crowded with demons also some of other races except human. He found some inns and hotels but he didn't find it comfortable to be in such a crowded place so he continued his walk searching for a little quieter place . 

And so it didn't take him long to find himself a shabby looking inn which had no one inside . He didn't like the apperance of the inn but this was the best option he had come across so far for peaceful environment so he headed in . 

"Hello sir , here is your order " an old man spoke while placing the food Infront of Jin woo and heading towards the kitchen . 

Jin woo look at the food which was just delivered to him . He didn't find it different from the food he usually eat . He actually thought that Demon were different kind of people who eats raw food and only flesh but seems like his imagination was wrong . 

Jin woo took off his mask and placed it on the table and started eating the food . In terms of taste it was quite upto his expectation so he started devouring it . 

It didn't take him long to finish his food with a satisfactory appetite . He then wore back the mask and headed to the counter . 

"I need one room for a week" Jin woo didn't know how long he will be here and also he was clueless on what to do here . So he just decided to ask for a week . 

"Right sir .10 copper coins for the food and 14 bronze coins for the one week stay " The old woman spoke , she had only one small horns on her forehead which was the size of a small finger . 

Jin woo was confused about the money system in this world . He look at his inventory and saw a few gold coins and gems .He remembered that he got all of this from the pheonix guild when he completed the cavern of slaughter quest . 

He took out one gem from his Inventory , He was prudent enough to know that a gem was the highest value money above all the coins and so he placed it on the table . 

"Keep the change" He casually spoke and ignored the surprise look of the old woman while taking the room key from the table 

When the old woman saw that this mysterious man Infront of her just placed a gem infront of her , her eyes almost pop out not willing to believe that this was real . 

Infact this was the first time she has ever seen a gem because common demon like them don't even have the right to own a royal coins so how will they even have the right to own the gem . 

She then look infront just to see that Jin woo had already headed towards his room , She quickly took the gem and headed towards the kitchen . 

"Dear !!! Dear ...where are you" The old woman voice out while hold the gem tightly in her fist . 

The old man who was in the kitchen by the fire side saw his wife shock expression and so he spoke "What happen honey , is something the matter " 

The old woman without waiting any longer showed the gem to her husband "This...this...." 

She wasn't even able to complete her full sentence. 

When the husband saw a white glowing stone in his wife hand he was also shock . 

"Is ...is..is.that a gem!" 

He voice out in disbelief ,he has seen the pictures of gem through books but never has he seen in real life . 

"Where did you get it ?! how did you get it !??" 

He was sending questions one after the other not waiting for his wife to even answer it slowly . 

"Slow down dear , this gem was given to me by that mysterious man . Also he is will be staying in this inn for a week . For him able to possess gem means he is not a simple demon" The old woman spoke . 

"oh ,but it's illegal for a common people like us to posses a gem what if someone came to know that we possess a gem . They will sentence us for the crime " the old man was mostly worried about the Security force from the king . 

"I know , maybe we should return him back this gem and say that it is not lawful for a common demon to posses a gem " 

"Hmmm...you are right let's do it " 

********************** 

Jin woo reached the second floor and saw the number for his room . He unlock the door with the key and open the door . 

The first introduction he saw was an old worn out room but with a clean surroundings . The walls ,the furniture ,the bed might have been worn out but it was maintained clean and tidy that he didn't complain about it . 

He closed the door and the first thing he did was to sit on the chair which was beside the table . 

He pull the chair and sat on it while trying to relax himself from all the tired journey he had been . 

But it seems like after coming to this world his luck has not been that great . The chair crack and broke down which led him to fall down towards the floor . 

*boom* 

Since the floor was made of wood it produce a loud sound which could be heard all around the inn . 

But luckily Jin woo was thin enough who doesn't weight much or else he might have broke the wooden plank and fall down towards the first floor . 

"ouch" 

Jin woo spoke in annoyance ,if not for him feeling pity for the old man and woman running this inn ,he might have done some damage to relieve his anger . 

He got up from the floor and headed towards the bed but unlike the careless mistake he just made with the chair . 

He carefully placed his hand on the bed while pressing it down to see whether it can hold a certain pressure . 

He controlled his strength and press the bed just to find out that it was completely fine . 

He sigh in relief and directly laid on the bed while looking up the ceiling trying to relax . 

*Knock* *knock* 

Suddenly a know was heard on the door , Jin woo was quite surprised at who could be visiting him and as he was about to indentify the person on the door. 

A negative force again interfered him from releasing his senses . He was quite annoyed as well as helpless with such . 

He got up from his bed , he still hasn't taken off his mask so he didn't have to care about anything . 

He got near the door and open just to find that the old couple was infront of him with a smiling face . 

"Hello sir ,I hope I'm not disturbing you" Spoke the old man ,he notice that this person infront of him might be very young from the way his skins and figure is . 

"No it's ok , is something the matter " Jin woo was quite puzzle at why is this old couple visiting him . 

"Ah yes , well we actually can't accept your money so please have it back " The old man spoke while handing the gem towards Jin woo , though he felt pain to do so but this was the law . Only the rich nobles and the royal has the authority to possess a gem . 

As Jin woo saw this he was taken aback . What could have made them to not want a high value money ,he was curious so he ask 

"why is that so , do you not want the money ?" 

"No...ah I mean yes , actually we common demons has no right to own a gem and if we were caught then we will be imprisoned " The old man spoke with sad smile . Inwardly he was quite suprised that this person infront of him didn't seem to know about it. 

Jin woo inwardly frown . What kind of stupid law is that . He didn't know why the common people everywhere are look down upon by the higher ups also shouldn't they be more humanly ,I mean demonly ...... 

He just sigh and decided not to think of such unnecessary thoughts anymore ,"If so than I will take it back " 

He took the gem back from the old man's hand , he also was observing the expression of the old man and the old woman face just to see that they didn't have any greedy looks on them . 

"Well than ,have a good rest dear sir " The old man spoke while the old woman also gave a polite gesture and started heading away . 

"Wait " 

Jin woo voice out , since he was staying here he couldn't let it go without being paid also this inn is run by a two old couple for God sake so how could he be this heartless . 

He felt pity and sympathy for this two old couple but despite that he just sigh in his heart . 

What could he even do ? Adopt them ? hire them? Called them in his journey which is filled with killing? 

The old couple heard Jin woo and turn 

"Is there anything sir wants " 

Jin woo didn't speak anything and casually took out all the gold he had inside his inventory . Though it was only 57 gold coins but he hope that this will suffice them . 

He levitated the gold coins until it reach both the old man and old woman who was stun by the display . 

"Open your hand " 

Jin woo spoke after which the couple open their palm which was followed by a gold coins filling their both hands . 

"I might stay here for a while so keep preparing meals and accommodation for me " Jin woo spoke and directly closed his door without even giving the old couple a chance to speak . 

On the hall way the old couple stood their frozen on their spot while looking down at their hand . 

"He dear , pinch me , I'm not dreaming ....am I " 

"Honey it seems like a demon god blessing is bestowing upon us " 

Both the old couple walking away towards the first floor with a gold coins in their hand . still filled with disbelief .
