The man found a seat by the window and sat down, then placed his backpack with the DSLR on the table. As he assessed the interior of the entire inn with interest, there was a complicated gleam in his eyes.

With that, Mia went upstairs to tidy up the empty room.

He slowly moved his camera around until it was pointed at the end of the corridor on the second floor. A wooden sign embellished with dried flowers hung on the door, and after zooming in, he could clearly see the words on the wooden sign—’Boss’ room. Please knock before entering.’
The man’s lips suddenly curled up into a smile.
