next day. Having breakfast at Elgis's house, I decided to go around a vacant house with Elgis to decide my own home.
He left his luggage bag and walked out of the house with Elgis, and Fiona and Flora came to see him off.
I thank them for bowing down.
"I'm sorry, I took care of you. I was really happy to prepare delicious rice and a bath."
"No, living alone can be a challenge, but you can always consult us if you have anything."
"Yes, I think there are a lot of things I don't understand. Thank you in the future."
First village life. It's life in a place that's not the country of birth. There are so many things you don't understand that you'll be bothering.
Despite such anxiety, if you meet such a gentle person and think that you have been connected, your anxiety will blow away at once.
It's a lot more encouraging just to have a consultant.
Right now I'm a one-sided helper, but I'll definitely return this benefit if I calm down.
"... Ah, this is a bento."
Flora came out a step ago and presented a basket.
When I rolled up the cloth I received and covered, there were a lot of sandwiches inside.
"If you like, please eat at noon"
The flora that says while messing with your fingertips is very cute.
Today I will walk around the village and decide on a new home. Once you decide on a new home, you have to clean your house and prepare to sleep, so having a lunch box is a great help.
"Thank you very much."
"No, no. Please come to eat again."
Thank you and she laughs shyly.
I don't think any woman is so cute, good at cooking and attentive.
If I was a little younger, I might have been quarreling. I couldn't urge a woman because I was just doing swords.
And her age is 18 years old. Already two years of age. There is no way for a village man to leave a nice woman like her.
Surely there will be a lover.
"Flora, don't I?"
"I have your part properly. It's my handmade."
"Oh, always thank you"
When Elgis asked, he handed the basket Fiona had.
It is a conversation that understands that there is a part of Mr. Elgis from the beginning, but it seems to be a very friendly figure. This casual conversation seemed to show the goodness of the couple.
Elgs looks back when I look at them.
"Let's go to Aldo."
"Yes!"
Elgis and I, who receive the lunch, walk around the empty house.
"" Please come ""
""See you!""
Me and Elgis responded to the overlapping voices of Fiona and Flora.
I had high hopes for a new house, but I felt regrettable as I moved away from that warm house.
The house where I spent only one night, but it seems like a happy time in my life.
"Because you are in the same village, you can meet at any time."
"……Yes"
From now on, more happy hours are likely to increase.
◆ ◆ ◆
"Now, yesterday, I checked out the vacant homes. Do you have any hopes for a home?"
When I arrived at the square in the center of the village, Elgis asked.
Because this is the center of the village, it is more efficient to decide here and then go around.
"Well, the best hope is westward, close to the flower garden."
Since I decided the best hope in advance, I answered smoothly. After all, this is the most important thing.
"Oh, good. In that case, there is plenty of land, so you can create a field and the mountains are near."
Oh, it was good. Apparently, the west side can meet my demands.
"I have four vacant houses west, so let's go around."
With that said, Elgis walked west, and I followed.
I walk along the road I walked yesterday with Elgis.
After walking for a while on the road that stretched all the way, I saw a sparsely-occupied house that I saw yesterday. Although the density of the private houses is much lower than around the village chief's house or the square, there is no problem as private houses that are vacant at a leisurely interval are desirable to me.
Hunting in the mountains and bleeding or dismantling, so it's not very convenient in the center.
Every house seems to be planting some kind of vegetable in the garden, probably because each house has a large garden. Of course, colorful flowers.
Many trees grow around the private house, and there is a stream nearby. A very nice place.
As I was looking at the house where I lived, I saw a large two-story house. The house was surrounded by stone walls, and a gate was set up in front of the house.
The house with the roof was a little peeled, probably because it is a little seasoned or unclean, but it is the most luxurious private house I have ever seen.
It's like a noble home.
Elgis stopped in front of the house as he was admire and looking at it.
"This is one of the vacant houses in the west."
"... It's big"
I mutter while looking up at a large house in front of the gate.
No, this is not the house I had imagined. I don't feel like managing a house that is too big.
It would be impossible for a servant to maintain such a house unless hired.
"In the past, a house was built when a nobleman came, but nobody wants to live because it is too big. I thought it was more interesting than introducing a small house, so I introduced it first. "
So that's it. That might be reasonable. It's interesting just to know that there is such a house in this village.
"Is it okay to see inside? I want to see a house built by a nobleman."
When I was an adventurer, I went to a mansion when I received a nomination request from a noble, but I am interested in a private house built by a noble.
"I've almost reused the furniture, so don't you?"
"Yes, I'll take a look at it."
With that kind of feeling, I walk around the west to check for vacant houses.
In the second case, the house was quite ordinary and small, but I turned it off because of the small number of rooms and poor sunshine.
The third case was a medium-sized house in the center, which was small, but there was a bathtub, so I felt good, but decided to forego because the distance between the houses was short. It's not just a few meters, it's close enough to stick.
If you bring the prey hunted in the mountains and dismantle it, the smell of blood will fly considerably.
After confirming the third case, I turn to the fourth case.
"I would recommend the next house with confidence. I guess you would like Aldo too. Well, if this doesn't suit you, look a little further south."
"I see. I'm looking forward."
I don't want to be too far from the flower garden, so I hope a good house next time.
While thinking about such things, walk on the bushy grass and cross the bridge over the stream.
Then, as I continued walking on the grass for a while, the scenery opened and I could see the dotted houses.
The view is good, the sun is good, and private houses are not crowded.
This is likely to be the case, as the minimum requirements have already been met. OK, unless the house is damaged. Or rather, Elgis's recommendation. Such a house will not be introduced.
"Here it is."
Elgis stopped a single-storey house that was slightly wider than a normal house.
It doesn't seem that the days have been short since the people who lived before have disappeared, or the seasons are not so steep, and the roofs and walls are aging.
It is a good impression that there is a large warehouse near the house. If you have such a large warehouse, you can work there.
"It's good. Can I check inside immediately?"
"Please do"
When I asked her to play her voice, Elgis opened the door and I entered the house immediately.
The moment I got inside, my intuition was peen. The atmosphere was as close as possible to the imagination I was drawing, and I thought there was no more.
"Oh……"
Screaming exclamations as he glances around.
A large room with a living room and a kitchen. The walls are cream-colored and some places are also mixed with bricks. The color of the floor was a bit dark brown and it had good taste combined with the grain.
"It's just the right size and calm down."
This is without furniture. If you prepare and install furniture that matches this room, it will be a better atmosphere.
"Yeah, it's pretty good, isn't this house and a bathtub quite big?"
"really?"
I'm surprised to hear Mr. Elgis proudly say.
It is rare that there is a bathtub in a private house in the village.
"The person who lived in front of me was a good bath lover. It seems that I was bathing well because there are streams and wells nearby. Well, it is hard to heat the water. "
I worried about the big bathtub and I went to the back room.
After passing through a slightly narrow dressing room and opening the door, there was a large square bathtub.
Oh, it's as big as the bath in Elgis's house. The reason why the dressing room was strangely small was that I wanted to set up a big bathtub.
It is a bath where the downfall of the previous owner is well transmitted.
If anything, I also like baths, so I will definitely use them. It's quite difficult to prepare hot water by yourself, but I have magical tools so I don't have any problems.
Magical equipment is equipment that is made from magical stones that can be obtained from high-ranking monsters.
The magic circle to be activated is engraved there, and magic is extracted from magic stones to activate the magic.
It's expensive enough for an average person to be able to play and live for a lifetime, but it's a handy thing that can be used by people who don't have the magical powers like me.
Even though Kourne, the wizard, was at the party, everyone was equipped with magical equipment because he did not know when Kourne would run out of magic or get hurt.
Well, it's only natural because it's the largest A-rank party in the kingdom.
Nevertheless, you might want to use a magic tool that you rarely used in battle to prepare a bath.
The magic of preparing hot water consumes little magic power, so even if you enter every day, you can use it for ten years.
It's a luxury, but let's take full advantage of it as a result of the adventurer days that fought for life.
Then I check the rest of the bedrooms, restrooms and storage. Everything was satisfying, my feelings were already solidified.
"By the way, how long does it take to get to the flower garden from here?"
"It's less than fifteen minutes."
When I look back and ask, Elgis answers with a smile.
Oh, it doesn't take more than 30 minutes to go back and forth. In this way, you can easily head to the flower garden in a little spare time. Perfect.
I think it was about the same time to Elgis's house.
"I will live here."
Thus my new house was decided.
