Chapter 95 The Inn and the Witch Nicole
here it is……
Rukia rubbed her temples, left the comfortable bed, and walked into the spacious hotel room.
It is more advanced than the future Soul Society, and even more luxurious than the houses she saw in Karakura Town.
This is clearly not something that should have appeared in the Frankish Kingdom.
Did I time travel again?
They went back?
But Rukia saw her current appearance in the mirror again; she had not become her original self.
She still has dragon horns on her head, which is a characteristic of dragons, meaning that she is still here in the form of a fairy tale dragon.
However, when she saw that she was still naked, she blushed and was thinking of crawling into bed when she noticed that there was a wardrobe.
She tried to open the wardrobe and saw that it was full of clothes. She didn't care whether they were hers or not, and just randomly picked out two pieces to wear.
The wardrobe contained clothes ranging from ancient court attire to futuristic items such as jeans and casual wear. The two pieces she casually picked up were also futuristic in style: a beige vest and a pair of loose-fitting light-colored trousers.
Rukia scratched her head. Although it looked a bit mismatched, at least she wasn't naked anymore.
Then Rukia had the leisure to observe her surroundings again.
The setup is very complete, it has everything, so...
What's outside?
She looked at the door of the room and unconsciously walked over.
This looks like a hotel room, so what's outside? The hotel corridor?
Are there other rooms here? Are other people living in them?
Just as Rukia was deep in thought, a sudden sound startled her!
Knock knock!
The door suddenly creaked open, and Rukia instinctively took a step back.
Is anyone there?
A woman's voice came from outside the door. The voice sounded gentle, which made Rukia relax a little.
"Who... are you?"
Rukia didn't open the door immediately, but stood at the doorway and asked cautiously.
I know you have many questions.
The woman's voice continued, "But you can't expect me to talk through a door, can you? Don't worry, fighting is prohibited here. Nothing can be destroyed, including people."
Rukia thought for a moment, then reached out and grasped the handle, twisting it to open it.
She was immediately able to see the scene outside the door.
There stood a woman, extremely beautiful, with gray hair, looking at Rukia with a gentle smile.
"..."
It has to be said that this woman was indeed very beautiful; even Rukia, being a woman herself, couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at her.
"Who are you……"
"Nicole," the woman chuckled softly, "is a witch."
"A witch..." Rukia couldn't help but ask, "Are you the witch from the West Frontier Bureau?"
"No, he's a traveler. Um... are we sure we want to talk here?"
Rukia made way for her and said, "Come in and let's talk."
Nicole came in, and Rukia closed the door.
"Your room is laid out like this? It doesn't match the style of this era at all."
Nicole seemed quite outgoing, and naturally looked around the room after entering.
"...This isn't my room either." Although Rukia thought the woman was very beautiful, what she cared about most right now was where she was.
So she asked directly, "So, can you tell me where this place is?"
"How should I put it..."
Nicole sat on the large bed in the room and said with a smile, "We don't know exactly what kind of place it is, but we habitually call it a 'hostel'."
"A hostel?" Rukia paused for a moment, then looked around.
This place does resemble a hostel; in modern times, it would probably be considered a "hotel."
But Nicole said they didn't know where this place was either.
they……?
Besides Ni Ke, who else is here? And why is this place called a hostel?
Nico didn't leave Rukia wondering for long before continuing:
"People who have been wandering outside for too long and have nowhere to go will occasionally come here."
When she said this, there seemed to be a hint of loneliness in her tone, but she quickly returned to her previous gentle tone.
"It is unknown who created it, but what is certain is that it is beyond the reach of human beings."
"..." Rukia didn't speak, but she was unconvinced. What was beyond the reach of human beings?
In the future Soul Society, there will be many people with amazing abilities, and it's not impossible that someone can pull a person into a mysterious space like this.
"But since it's a hostel, it's naturally not a place where people can stay permanently. So, people come and people go. It's unfortunate that you came at this time; there are only the two of us on this floor."
"Well... tell me about yourself? I don't even know your name yet."
"……white."
Rukia didn't fully trust Nico, so she didn't reveal Rukia's name, but only said the name Hohenheim had given her.
Although she felt a little embarrassed that the name was her pet's name, upon closer reflection, it wasn't a big deal; at least she wasn't constantly being called Snow White.
If I were to actually be called Snow White by the name of this body, just thinking about it makes me incredibly embarrassed!
"Bai...you're such a beautiful girl." Nicole stood up again and said, "Is there anything you don't understand? I can answer it for you."
"...Actually, I don't understand any of what you just said," Lucia said. "I know this place is called an inn, but what is its purpose? Why did you bring me here? How do I leave?"
"Is that so..."
Nicole thought for a moment, then took Rukia's hand and walked outside.
"Then come with me outside and have a look."
Caught off guard, Rukia was pulled by Nicole into the outer corridor, where, upon closer inspection, it was indeed a hotel.
Rukia saw her room number: 704.
"I live right next door to you, and we can sense it immediately whenever someone moves in."
"Nicole said, and then continued deeper into the corridor.
There were many rooms in the corridor, but all the doors were closed. Rukia didn't know where Nico was taking her, but she could only follow.
Soon, they arrived at the elevator.
Nicole pressed the elevator button, and the elevator doors opened quickly.
"Where are we going?"
“Of course, we’re going to the top floor,” Nicole said. “Do you know why I said this is beyond human reach?”
"?" Rukia shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
"Because this hostel isn't just for people from our world!"
