I wonder if I could calm down by watching Celine illuminate. Speaking of the forehead, even if you kiss me, my heart feels like a heart. When I was in Pamela... no, it's bad to think about other girls right now. Let's stop it.

She called out to Celine, whose face was still turning red.

"Celine, let's take a break from Portal Stone today. I have to build a house from now on."

"Eh, yeah, yeah, let's do that.... you know, Mark. You don't have to worry about staying with us.

Even though Celine has her own circumstances, she's still worried about me living alone. Nevertheless, Celine also fully understands that a series of disturbances have filled her with various things. You're still not looking at me because you kissed me.

"Yeah, it's been three months since I've slept on the floor with fish, and it's fun to build a house. I make it not so far from here, so you can think of it as a separate house in this house."

"Really? If that's the case, I can't help it.... but definitely have lunch and dinner with us. Can you promise me this?

"Yes, I understand."

"And let's go to the portal crystal tomorrow after lunch. I don't really want to see Deal, but if it's the same as before, he'll be walking around early in the morning and at dusk. The other day I saw you at lunch, you've been trying to talk to me for a long time. Thank you so much for your hard work ~"

He seems to have a troublesome personality, and I've never crossed the line without seeing him. I nodded to Celine.

"Then I'll go and build a house. I saw Esther when I was building the house, but if she's still around, I'd like to ask her about Nicolas by today."

"Oh, I knew that was Estelle's house. Okay, go ahead. But you'll be back by dinner. I'm serving dinner from your item box today ~"

Yes, let's go.

When I opened the front door, I waved to Celine and went out.

――――――

Celine's home. Celine, who had dropped Marc off, had solidified with her hand waved to Marc. And after a long minute, I suddenly crouched down and roared.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Celine, holding her head, murmured instead of letting anyone hear her.

"I kissed you... I can't stand it anymore, but if it's my forehead, it's still safe, right? Yeah. Yes, Marc had a flat face.... that's a bit boring.... but that's cute too! Nhhhhhhhhh!

Celine shouted angrily and kept rolling on the floor, which was not so beautiful. And in the next room, Nicola stroked the sleeping eclaine's stomach and spent a happy time listening to her voice.

――――――

When she returned to her planned home construction site, Esther was still enjoying bouldering. When she noticed me, Esther waved her hand hanging from the convex corner of the boulder ring wall.

"Hi, Mark. Welcome back. Climbing these walls with your own hands will suddenly make you more interesting. It's fun to think about all kinds of courses, and it's like you're building muscles that you don't normally use."

That's how Esther smiled and grabbed the convex angle with her hand and climbed up. In the distant convex corners, grasp the convex corners you are holding with one hand, and extend your arms as much as you can while supporting your full weight with one arm. What a grip. I think I'll crush it with apples or something.

But on the contrary, how about not using your feet at all? The way I brush my feet and climb up with just my hands is a much stranger sight than the way I ran up with just the feet I saw earlier.... well, if it's fun for me, is that okay? I shook my head lightly and called out to Esther.

"Esther, I need a favor..."

When I briefly explained Nicolas, I was able to get more consent than Esther thought.

"Of course you're welcome. I don't always have enough manpower, and my father and mom love to teach, and I'm sure they'll be happy to teach Nicolas how to cook, so you won't have to say anything to me for that, and you'll have to do good.... ah, keep this to yourself, right?

That's what Esther said and she put her finger on her lip and put a wink on it. I always think that when a beauty does this, it becomes a picture.

"But I don't think there's anything like a salary to cover breakfast, but is that okay?

"Yeah, if you let Nicolas cook occasionally, that's fine. Well, actually, my mom's more worried about being a cheater than a cook, so just let me work every day.... ah, I knew you'd give me a break on Tuesday... no, three days, because I'm sure Nicolas won't be able to stand it anymore..."

"Haha, of course that's that good. Well then, will you come tomorrow?"

This confirmed Nicolas' work in the village. I took Wednesday off, so I would like you to be convinced with this.
