Chapter 84 – 10,000 likes.
Nahida couldn't know what was happening on the internet since he didn't even have a social network. However, the image the delivery man posted had already accumulated over two thousand likes.
Many comments were saying things like:
[ Where is this place? ]
[ Isn't that guy's costume very realistic? He even looks like a real Orc. ]
[ I've seen a girl who looked like that receptionist somewhere. ]
[ What's a foreign girl doing in this place? I've never seen such a pretty girl before. ]
Many people were curious about the location of Nahida's hotel, but the delivery man didn't answer any of the questions about this. He knew he shouldn't do that since people would probably visit the place.
He did, however, answer other questions. The main question was how the girls were in person, and the second most asked question was what he had seen that was strange inside the hotel.
He answered honestly that he hadn't seen anything different inside the place besides the staff. It just looked like an old hotel that had recently been modernized.
And after almost two days, the photo stopped receiving likes, but the number had already exceeded ten thousand.
That was the day the hunt for Nahida's hotel began.
People became very curious only because of the staff, something that didn't make sense.
No famous character was in that photo. If the delivery man had taken a photo of Rimuru, all the commotion would have made sense, but there were no famous characters in the hotel.
Just the appearance of that Orc had been enough to make people go crazy.
Fortunately, Nahida's hotel was far away, and the exterior was very similar to many other hotels, so it would take a long time for his hotel to be found.

With the products in his hotel, Nahida began installing everything with Nazuna's and Joulan's help. They put the new appliances in the kitchen, and Nahida used his system to install the air conditioners in the remaining bedrooms.
Less than an hour later, everything was ready. Nahida put all the empty boxes outside the hotel, and the only boxes left were the sealed boxes containing the things Nahida had bought for Rimuru.
Nahida asked for Joulan's help, and they carried the boxes to Rimuru's games room: more video games, an arcade, and even a computer.
There was no internet, but games could be installed with Nahida's help.
The number of video games in the room was now 10. There were 7 Playstations, 3 Xboxes, and ten televisions. However, because of the limited energy, Rimuru couldn't turn on more than one videogame simultaneously.
Also, he couldn't leave a video game on for too long.
He used the Nintendo Switch mostly because it had a battery.
"Thank you, my collection has grown. Now I can let other people use this room with me."
"But I'll have to get more solar panels for that. If you turn on two video games simultaneously, the energy will run out quickly."
"Yes, that's true. Can you do that for me?"
"Can I do this later? I'll focus on my Status and getting stronger. I'll also need to visit my father soon."
"I don't mind... But I didn't think you wanted to get strong that badly."
"... It's necessary. I will visit many worlds in the future, and I think I'll be killed if I'm not strong enough. There are many dangerous worlds."
"Yes, that's true. But how are you going to do that? Do you want to hunt wolves again? Or other kinds of monsters?"
"I'm still thinking about it. I'll go to another world to train another type of energy since I can't use the magic of your world."
"That makes sense. I wish you good luck with that."
"Thanks. I'll stop by the market now before heading back to the hotel. After I return, I'll create a training routine for myself."
"When you get strong enough, I want to fight with you."
"Naah, I'll never get as strong as you."

A day passed, and Nahida had made his plans. He had written down what he would do over the next few days.
The first thing on the list was to go to Naruto's world to experience some of that world's energy, chakra. Nahida didn't know if he could feel that energy, but he had to take the test.
He would also take advantage of his visit to talk to Sakura and other characters from the anime. He was curious about where they were in the story. Not much has happened as Tsunade is still Hokage, and Naruto and the others are in their teens.
The second thing on the list is to visit the world of Mushoku and other Isekais to level up since, in the world of Naruto, there aren't so many monsters that Nahida can kill to level up.
And the third thing on the list is to reach level 50. It's a goal he's set.
Nahida thought about putting more things on the list but couldn't think of anything.
"Getting a better weapon is a good goal, but writing isn't necessary. Hmmm... I must find a good world where I can easily get good weapons."
Nahida thought of a few worlds and wrote them down. He would make a few visits when he returned from Naruto's world.
The big problem was that another visit arrived before he could do something.
