Shigetoshi changed money and did the proper receipts and everything, even though they couldn't be read by the foreigners. The smiles the man was giving him made him warm, but having Tatsuki stand there, pretty much left him confused and unhappy. Even when the foreigners left to go to their room and Tatsuki smiled at him. He forced himself to smile back and to respond.

"It'll be fine. It's not like there's much custom to an Inn way out here." Shigetoshi straightened up the counter so he wouldn't have to look Tatsuki in the face. "Thank you for helping me." The words were hard to get out. He owned Tatsuki much more now. How much more would Shigetoshi owe him before he finally left? 

With that pleasant thought in his head Shigetoshi bowed and said something about cleaning and food. He wasn't sure if it made sense but he hurried away anyways needing to escape. If Tatsuki followed or said anything else to him, he didn't hear, or want to hear. He shut himself in his room and knelt down before the picture of his parents. 

"Mom, Dad. I wish you were here. I don't know what to do." Of course there was no answer, there never was. After a few minutes he stood up after bowing. The Inn wasn't going to run itself. There truly was cleaning and food to prepare. For a brief moment he remembered he had skipped breakfast, but the thought pushed aside by the thought that he needed to get lunch ready.
