Chapter 242 This Is A Nice Place To Stay
I thought we would return to our ship but we were escorted to a hotel to stay the night instead.
Apparently, all winners of the Battle Royale would be given the right to stay at this station free of charge for life.
I knew that this was just an incentive to get these champions to stay here which would inevitably lead to them spending money here anyway.
Classic trap.
But well... I'm not gonna lie, the place they offered was actually pretty nice. It's actually better than the room we paid for at Palladium Star Hotel.
The room was at least three times bigger and it was basically like a high class apartment of its own.
There was a high ceiling living room with a bar, a dining room with a kitchen that had actual kitchen appliances instead of just those synthfood machines, one master bedroom and three separate single rooms each with their own attached bathrooms, its own gym and indoor swimming pool, and even a study room that can be used for work or play.
Damn... I should take some notes of this place and use it as reference for our living quarters in our new ship.
"Tera? What are these?" Amber asked, already inspecting the kitchen area, more specifically the kitchen island that separated the dining area from the kitchens.
I went over to see what she was looking at and I sucked in a breath when I saw what was there.
They have a teppan grill?! And it looks like a pretty nice one too! Oh man, they even have the oversized spatulas and everything!
I've worked on a smaller version of this in my old universe before and I even learned how to do some tricks with it as well. Admittedly, I was an amateur with it but it's cool that this thing is here!
I definitely want to try making something with this later!
Our guide, who happened to be the woman who acted as our bartender during our first meeting with Linc, chuckled at Amber's question.
"Oh, don't mind that. The kitchen here is merely for decoration. If you would like to eat anything however, we have food establishments downstairs where you can take your pick of any type of cuisine you want!"
I turned to her, "Wait... Are you telling me that all these appliances don't work at all?"
"Ah... I... Believe so? I don't think I've seen any guest make use of them at least."
I took a moment to inspect the teppan grill, which wasn't really that hard since it literally just had a button that you could press to turn it on which I did so.
A holographic screen then popped up which allowed me to control everything about the grill including the temperature on each specific part of the grill. Holy crap, this thing even has a steaming function?
I've got to get myself one of these for our new ship!
Seeing that the grill was obviously working, I went over to the fridge and opened it, frowning when I saw it was empty.
"Do you guys provide ingredients that we can use to cook with?" I asked.
She gave me a serious look, "Are you trying to destroy the building?"
"What? No? I want to cook!"
She blinked at me, "You can... Cook?"
I was about to tell her that I actually could when, out of nowhere, Amber, Lea and Ries stepped in front of her to block me from view.
"Have you girls never seen a swimming pool before?"
"A swimming pool?" All three of them asked simultaneously.
Oh gods...
"Yeah... It's a large body of water where you can swim in..."
"Swim? Wait... You can swim in this?" Amber gasped.
I nodded, "That's what a swimming pool is for..."
Lea gave me a look, "Mistress, do you know how to swim?"
"Err... Yes... I think?"
I mean... I know how to swim in my old universe but I'm not sure if that skill would still work here... What if the properties of water are different in this universe?
Oh who am I kidding, that's definitely not possible.
Amber looked at the water, "Is that safe?"
"Umm... I guess I would say yes since I believe I can swim. But if you don't know how to, I recommend not to jump in."
"Can we swim later? Or can I watch you swim later?"
"Eh? Sure I guess? Been a while since I last did it anyway."
The three of them shared a look and I kind of felt something was conveyed between them.
Before I could ask them what they were thinking about, a notification popped up on my Codex indicating that there was someone at the door.
We relocated back to the living room and I opened the door to see our guide standing there with a complicated look on her face.
"Miss Tera... Mister Linc asked if he could personally sample your cooking? In return, he would give you any ingredient you want for free..."
Eh? Well, that seems like a really generous offer so I nod--
"No! Denied! We'll pay full price for it!" Amber protested immediately, popping up behind me without warning.
The other two girls also quickly appeared behind her with their own protests as well.
"I agree, the food is meant for us, not anyone else."

"I... I want fish..."
The guide seemed unsurprised by our answers and nodded, "Very well... I shall convey that to Mister Linc... I'll return once I have gotten permission to sell you the ingredients.
She then turned and left to enter the lift at the end of the corridor.
What the heck, you girls?
