The young master asks to be taken to a "top tier room" , but the innkeeper tells him that he has to pay a "deposit" . The shadow guard tells the young master that he is a "one - tier room," and that everyone can wear whatever clothes they want. The innkeeper says that he will get someone to take him to the top tier room. The young man is shocked to find that the innkeeper has no shopkeeper to help him find his room. He asks the innkeeper why he was wrong to praise the shadow guard, and the innkeeper replies that the shadow guards are so miraculous that they will restore their energy by sleeping on a wooden plank. He says that the people of ancient times sleep on this plank because they do not have the luxury of sleeping pods or "consciousness vessels" to help them sleep. When the young man goes to bed, the innkeeper asks him if he is joining him on the bed, and he says that is not the case. He then says that his body is "in a poor state" and that he should only exist on the shadows. He wonders why he is being called a "shadow guard" again, and asks if he should call for a doctor. He sighs that he looks like a murderer, and wonders how he ended up being such an idiot. He also wonders if he has found the "cheat code" for limitless wealth.
