{Ahaha, the Stellaron Hunters' demolition crew is here. (〃'▽'〃)}
{And the author decided to make the Goethe Hotel landlady a ridiculous version too, since her original delicate, pitiful appearance made the author's blood pressure rise.}
"All right, let's go down. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave once more people arrive."
Theresa hurriedly called out. Bronya nodded, then smiled as she picked Theresa up in her arms. March 7th and Stelle watched the amusing scene with delight.
"Hey, Bronya, put me down!"
Theresa shouted from Bronya's arms, her face red. However, Bronya only smiled and shook her head. She couldn't bear to let Theresa go. Theresa was fragrant, soft, and considerate—Bronya liked her far too much!
"Oho!"
"Oho!"
"Ah, I'm dead!"
"They're so pretty!"
The moment Bronya and the others appeared, cries of "oho" rang endlessly through the Lower City. Many hot-blooded young men even grinned foolishly, stunned by the girls' beauty.
"..."
"Get off already."
Dan Heng calmly endured the people's furious, jealous stares. He had somehow become collateral damage again, simply because he was standing beside the girls.
"Damn it, I'm so jealous!"
"That silver-haired girl is gorgeous!"
"That white-haired little girl she's holding is so adorable!"
"Whoa, buddy, that's at least five years!"
"One bullet per shot for treating lolicon tendencies!"
The Lower City residents shouted and clamored, but as the girls got off, they all silently stepped back. Feeling like they were lowly peasants unworthy of sullying them, they hastily moved aside wherever Bronya, carrying Theresa, March 7th, and Stelle went.
"..."
Dan Heng followed behind them helplessly, enduring the crowd's laser-like gazes. The looks of envy, jealousy, and hatred from those young men left him utterly exasperated.
"Hello, everyone. We're from the Upper City and ended up here by accident. Could you tell us where we might find somewhere to stay?"
Theresa asked the crowd somewhat shyly. Her soft, adorable voice made everyone smile happily.
"Me! I know a place, follow me!"
"Those abacus beads practically bounced into my face!"
"Is that place you're talking about your house?"
"Get lost! You bastard, you ruined my chance!"
The young men began bickering furiously.
"We just want to find an inn to stay in for a while."
March 7th hurriedly called out. Upon hearing that, the crowd reluctantly pointed toward the Goethe Hotel in the distance. Compared to the luxurious Goethe Hotel in the Upper City, this one looked far more rundown.
"Thanks, everyone. Let's go!"
March 7th called out politely, leading Bronya and the Theresa she carried, Stelle, and Dan Heng—who was still being glared at jealously by everyone—toward the Goethe Hotel. The others could only disperse helplessly. With Underworld Fire around, they didn't dare cause trouble.
Although many people wanted to hug and cuddle the unbearably adorable Theresa, they only dared think about it.
The group of five arrived at the Goethe Hotel, where the landlady cheerfully greeted them.
"Oh my, what beautiful girls! You're here to stay, right? Come on in to Auntie's place. The regular price is thirty Belobog Shields a day, but for you girls, it's ten Belobog Shields a day, meals included!"
"And Auntie's place is protected by Underworld Fire. Nobody would dare come make trouble here. Don't be scared, girls. Auntie won't let them mess with you!"
The landlady called out excitedly. Bronya set Theresa down, and Theresa breathed a sigh of relief before taking tiny, dainty steps toward the landlady, who looked as though she had been utterly overwhelmed by cuteness. Her fond, doting smile made Theresa's scalp tingle.
"Auntie, hello. We'd like to stay here for a while. Would that be all right?"
Theresa asked nervously, smiling at the cheerful Goethe Hotel landlady.
"Oh my, what are you saying, little cutie? Of course Auntie is willing!"
"You really are from the Upper City. You're all so pretty! Such a treat for the eyes!"
"Come, come, girls, follow Auntie. I guarantee no one will disturb you!"
"Hm?"
"What are you looking at?! Want a broom to the face?"
Spotting several young men lurking in the distance and watching them, Auntie rolled up her sleeves. Her expression abruptly twisted into something ferocious as she shouted. Her sturdy, muscular arms were as thick as thighs, and the savage look in her glaring eyes made the Lower City youths shudder.
After all, Auntie's fighting ability was no joke. Once, a rat had tried to sneak through the hotel entrance and make a home inside. The furious Auntie kicked it out into the street. Then, with a roar, she leaped into the air and slammed a broom down onto the ground with all her strength. Boom! The broom broke, the ground cracked, and the rat became a rat pancake.
From then on, no one dared provoke her again.
"Ehehe~ Don't be afraid, girls. Auntie is a good person—and a member of Underworld Fire too!"
Auntie looked at Theresa and the others with a gentle, amiable smile. Then she scrutinized Dan Heng, who calmly met her gaze.
"Girls, is he with you?"
Auntie asked, gripping her broom as she stared at Dan Heng.
"..."
Dan Heng was numb. Why was everyone hostile toward him everywhere he went in the Lower City? Was it just because he wasn't a cute girl?
"Yes, Dan Heng is with us. He's our companion!"
March 7th hurriedly called out, and Theresa quickly nodded as well. Though her troublemaker side was acting up and she really wanted to see the funny sight of Auntie throwing Dan Heng out.
But she had promised Old Yang that she would never make fun of her own people.
So Theresa could only think about it.
"So that's how it is. Auntie misunderstood you. You look like a decent young man too. Not bad, not bad. Auntie approves of you~"
Pat! Pat! Pat!
The Goethe Hotel landlady laughed as she patted Dan Heng's shoulder with a palm as large as a fan. Dan Heng nodded with a pained expression, rubbing his throbbing shoulder. He swore that even getting hit by the Antimatter Legion hadn't hurt as much as Auntie's pats!
"Hehe, what do you girls want to eat? Auntie will make it for you!"
Auntie laughed excitedly as she demonstrated various bodybuilding poses. Her bulging, solid muscles made everyone's scalps tingle.
"We had something called cave-roasted salamander in the Upper City, and some kind of rock crab. Do you have those here?"
March 7th asked timidly, watching Auntie strike one bodybuilding pose after another.
"Aha! Of course we do! And the Goethe Hotel up there and ours are relatives from the same Goethe family."
"But Auntie's food is much more authentic than his!"
Auntie laughed excitedly. Theresa quickly stood on tiptoe and handed a stack of Belobog Shields to the eight-foot-tall Auntie.
"Here, Auntie, this is our lodging fee. Oh, is it three hundred per person? We're staying for a month."
Theresa asked as she stood on tiptoe to hand Auntie the stack of Belobog Shield bills.
"Yep, that's right. You're such a little cutie, girl! Let Auntie hug you!"
Auntie scooped Theresa up and laughed happily. Theresa didn't dare resist at all. She felt as though she had been pressed against a body made of reinforced concrete. The hard embrace made her scalp tingle.
{Is this gag-version Goethe Hotel landlady fun?}
