The Bored Immortal

Chapter 358 Seraphina's Guilt

Seraphina became worried when Viktor mentioned those four adventurers, "But they are not as they seem. They have—"

"I know. But let's deal with them when the time comes since we might have to deal with them anyway. You know I will be fine, and trust me when I say the world will be a better place without them," Viktor said with a fixed gaze, while Seraphina had a complicated expression since she could guess what Viktor was planning.

It was not that she was worried about the adventurers, but for Viktor since, for some reason, she wished that he could live a happy life without having to shed blood after everything he had gone through. But she knew it was just an ideal wish since the universe wasn't exactly an ideal place.

She was feeling guilty that the situation with the adventurers happened because of her, and Viktor was dealing with it for her. She didn't want him to get his hands dirty for her, but she also knew that he was right about them.

And this made her think about how things would have been if Viktor didn't come with her, and she insisted on going alone.

"Hey, stop thinking too much about things and let's find a place to stay for the night," Viktor tugged at her hand as she got out of her reverie and followed him with a soft smile.

The two searched for a cheap inn due to not having enough money as Seraphina never expected they would be staying in this realm for too long. She could also not bring anything precious since that could probably give away her identity or attract some trouble since most of the things that were available in the Sacred Spirit Realm were either unique or precious.

The two finally came upon a decent yet modest-looking inn which was located in a relatively peaceful street where there didn't seem to be any obvious-looking shady characters, and Seraphina also felt that the odic field was relatively calm here.

Seraphina told him that this town was actually the most peaceful one in the Darkstar Realm since there were some strict rules and governing system led by certain parties, mainly the president of the Darkwell Trading Union.

The two entered the inn named 'Night Sky', where a fat person or what looked like a humanoid being with a pig face was standing behind the desk and looked like the owner of the inn.

Viktor knew that this pig-like being belonged to the pigmen race, and most of them were actually lazy and quiet beings who always minded their own business. But it was also said that they would get angry in a reckless way once someone created trouble in their territory.

The pigmen was wearing a cotton shirt and large-sized pants when he lazily looked up and corrected his round glasses upon seeing two rabbitmen enter his inn, "Haa…looking for a room?"

Viktor couldn't help but feel that this guy was looking a bit cute and funny, especially because of his pig face, but of course, he didn't change his expression as he said with a subtle smile, "Yeah. We are looking to stay for a couple of days. Do you have a free room with two beds?"

The pigmen twitched his snubby nose as he said in a bored tone, "I do have a room free but with only one bed. But for a couple like you two, I bet it is more than enough. Extra bed will cost more if you people are that insistent."

Viktor grimaced slightly as he looked at Seraphina, indirectly asking her if she was okay with sharing a bed since they were tight on money. But if she wanted an extra one, Viktor would just go along with it.

Seraphina thought hard before nodding, gesturing to him that it was alright since she felt that it was prudent to save money wherever possible, even if it meant adjusting to things she was not used to. Since it was Viktor, she knew she could trust him to not do anything she didn't like.

And so the two ended up renting a room, and as they entered their room, it was too dark and smaller than Viktor expected, though he wasn't surprised considering how this was one of the cheapest inns in town.

But what caught both of their eyes was how small the bed was, making Viktor shake his head with a tight-lipped smile, 'That silly pig dude…'

Seraphina darted her eyes around while wondering if she should let Viktor sleep on the bed since that bed won't fit two comfortably. There was also only one pillow.

"Well, I—"

"I—"

Both were about to say something when they swallowed their words and smiled, feeling amused about it.

"I will sleep on the floor. You should sleep on the bed," Viktor said as he sat down on the floor, preparing to simply rest.

Seraphina immediately felt bad as she stood before him and shook her head, "Please, no need to make yourself uncomfortable. You are the one helping me, and you already helped me a lot after coming here. You should sleep on the bed. I can't let you sleep on such a hard and uncomfortable floor for the entire night. I can sleep on the floor."

Viktor sighed as he said with a soft chuckle, "Sera…if I let a beautiful fairy like you sleep on this cold floor, my conscience will kill me. You don't want me to feel guilty, do you?"

Seraphina's expression became difficult as she indeed didn't want to make him feel guilty but at the same time, seeing him rest in such an uncomfortable way made her feel uneasiness in her chest.

"T-Then I will also sleep on the floor," Saying so, Seraphina didn't hesitate as she also lay down on the floor while looking up at the ceiling, feeling that now it was fair.

Viktor had a blinking expression and couldn't help but smile, feeling amused by her behavior.

Still, how could he let things be like this?

So he raised his head, resting his body on his elbow as he looked at her and asked with narrowed eyes, "Are you really adamant about sleeping wherever I am sleeping?"

Seraphina nodded with a determined gaze, "Yes, I am. I don't want to take advantage of your kindness anymore. But don't worry. I am okay with this."

Viktor sighed as his eyes shone with a certain glint, "Then forgive me, beautiful fairy. You leave me with no choice."
