**The Inn** is the forty-third chapter of the Didn't I Say To Make My Abilities Average In The Next Life?! light novel.

## Summary

* A few days after leaving the unnamed town in the Kingdom of Brandel, the Crimson Vow arrived at an unnamed town in the Kingdom of Vanolark. After checking in at the local Hunters' Guild outpost, the Crimson Vow asked for a recommendation for an inn and they were surprised when the guild staff gave divided opinions. The Crimson Vow then decided to spend a night at each inn to see why opinions were so divided.
* Upon arriving at the first inn, House of the Maiden's Prayer, the Crimson Vow were shocked at the expensive prices to everything even though the quality was average or even below average. Then the Crimson Vow learned why the inn's eatery was busy even with the high prices. The inn was being run by three sisters who had lost their parents and the eldest sister was tricking the young men to become repeat customers. This was also why the inn was only recommended by young men and not women or older men.
* The next day the Crimson Vow checked out of the inn and checked into the second inn, the Wild Bear Lodge. There they noticed the prices all seem to be normal for an inn like this. Even the prices in the inn's eatery was normal and the food tasted normal as well. When the Crimson Vow asked the inn's owner what was going on, he explained about how the three girls had lost both of their parents and then the inn's staff attempted to abuse them. Because of that, the girls no longer trusted anyone and even became greedy by overcharging customers.
* To help the House of the Maiden's Prayer, the Crimson Vow decide to help the Wild Bear Lodge show the House of the Maiden's Prayer the errors of their ways by drawing away their loyal customers. Step one was to have the Crimson Vow work in the Wild Bear Lodge's eatery and use their backstories as a way to draw in young male customers. Step two was to have Pauline wear Mile’s old gym uniform. After step two was enacted, Meliza ended up surrendering and asked the Wild Bear Lodge for help. It was decided that the House of the Maiden's Prayer will need a new cook in order to survive and it just so happened at that exact moment that the two sons of the Wild Bear Lodge's owner returned home from being a sous chef in the capital.
