600 Surrender to the Flow
It looks like Taj Mahal outwardly. No wait, that's a tomb if I recall right.
What does this mean? I tilted my head hard and came up with an answer.
(Ah, so Japanese weren't the only people that got brought here...)
That's right. Why didn't I think of that before?
Because my hands were already full trying to deal with everything going on in my life in this world.
Up until I turned 15, my whole world revolved around my family at the small village I was born in.
I know nothing about the world's culture at large. I have no knowledge about the common sense and history of this world.
"What do you think? Wonderful isn't it? My? It's quite a surprise huh. Fufufu, it may look flashy but I assure you it's relaxing inside."
Selram looked delighted to see my mouth agape. Like a child who pulled off a prank.
There was nothing shocking inside. Which made it all the more shocking instead. The light is neither too bright nor too dim.
I looked around and immediately sensed something off.
It looks like your average apartment hotel. I can't help laughing at the huge gap between how it looks inside and outside. Like, what the heck. I didn't see this punchline coming.
Mismatched, I'm the only one who seemingly thinks that. Selram and Kyaro aren't particularly fussed.
I do because I have knowledge and common sense from my previous world.
Whether a culture fits with another doesn't matter to this world's populace. Because they previously never existed.
Everything is new to them no matter the combination. Nothing about it is off.
"Give him a discount okay. Ah, what would you like, Saito? Our very best room?"
Selram had gone off to the counter and informed the staff there.
"I shall retire to my room early."

Kyaro went upstairs like she was used to it.
Selram lightly waved at her.
"Sure, I'll take you up on that, best room it is."
I fetched my card. The usual black one.
"My? ...Who are you really?"
I've stopped counting Selram's use of that word.
But I can't help it. I don't want to know how much this inn cost. Not even a pep.
Hence my use of card to smartly skip all that.
(My sense of value is getting more and more paralyzed... I should lower the rank. Gonna stay at the cheapest inn next time.)
I'm afraid I wouldn't want to lower my standard of living if I get used to luxury. It's a grave problem.
I can't predict what kind of life will I lead. There's no guarantee I won't be penniless in the future. Even with all this money I have right now.
"Hey? Would you accompany me for a dinner? I want to talk more with you."
Selram invited me just as I arrived at my room.
(Ah, how should I respond here... Gotta choose carefully.)
Whether to accept or not, which one gets me the better future?
There's no way for me to know though.
"Sure thing. How could I refuse an invitation by a gorgeous lady."
I decided to surrender myself to the flow.
