Chapter 504: A Vast Empire 3
Han Se-ah easily subdued the chat's demands for the busty receptionist by showing them noblewomen at an Imperial capital café instead.
After placing the request at the Mercenary's Guild, she secured a month-long contract at an inn catering to wealthy merchants. They could have stayed somewhere fancier that served nobles, but that might lead to troublesome noble encounters.
There was a contradiction in avoiding nobles while claiming to help with Han Se-ah's side quest collection, but it couldn't be helped. The Kingdom's social circles were already annoying enough - imagine the headache of adding the hero to the Empire's massive political dynamics.
She wanted to enjoy the convenient fantasy life allowed to gamers, not get dragged into high-level political battles. Better to aim for quests involving merchant groups heading to the provinces.
"Nice facilities. What are we doing while waiting for information?"
"We should listen to rumors going around the archipelago. Places where people gather attract all kinds of gossip. Though we'll need to filter it like what we heard at the guild."
That's why we settled at an inn five minutes from the Mercenary's Guild. The beautiful innkeeper who reminded Han Se-ah of Dongtan New City and her daughter who was among the most beautiful servers in the province might have caught her attention.
Anyway, with long-term lodging secured near the Mercenary's Guild and requests sent to the Empire's Magic Tower and temple through the guild, all that remained was waiting. And as both player and streamer, Han Se-ah had a duty to turn that "waiting" into entertaining content.
Though they'd just unpacked and sat at a table on the inn's first floor, viewers were already spamming chat with "so what now" and "why aren't you doing anything." They'd enjoyed the busty receptionist, noble ladies in dresses, and Dongtan innkeeper in sequence, but seemed to suffer from collective amnesia the moment cleavage disappeared from camera view.
