Hero’s Redo ~ A Hero That Once Saved the World Reborn as a Girl ~

Since I started doing this with my training center job hanging, I've almost lost my time off from my life. Three days out of seven days a week is allocated to training centers and four days to reception work, so it's obvious, but I'm getting tired of boulders. It's originally such a non-tiresome quality, and with the protection of the gods, physical fatigue recovers quickly. But spiritual things don't heal so easily. It's all work every day, and it's only a little time in the morning and evening to talk to Ciel, who lives with me. This is bad. I thought I might be disgusted with my life as it is - and I decided to go straight to my boss, Alliance Master Creek.

"You want some time off?

"Yes. Can't we reduce reception work by one day and do it on Wednesday? It's time for the limit."

About two months after the training center was completed, the instructor's job was to teach people to reconfirm the skills and aspirations they had forgotten, and it's a rewarding job. Reception work is fun to get in touch with a variety of people, and I'm finally getting the hang of it lately. But if you want to hang it, I think it's too much for four days. Some people have come from other guilds with support, and I don't think it's going to have a huge impact if I'm completely out of it as it stands, so I want to think about balancing both jobs and reduce reception work by a day - that's my hope.

I was the first one to say I wanted to do both on the hang, and I thought it would piss me off because it was a convenient statement, but Mr. Creek just said what it was, and I shook my shoulder.

"I don't mind that. We've got more personnel. As much as I thought I'd talk from this side."

"... Really?

"Bye. The rest of the staff, of course, I take off once a week. And yet when I come with you... I thought I had no time off for savings, so I didn't have to speak up."

"Ahhh... haha..."

Speaking of which, I remember answering previously that at lunch the use of my salary was up for discussion and I was trying to save money. It's also a bad idea to remain in Siel's care forever.

"Yes, I'm talking about that savings, but could it increase all at once?

"What do you mean?

"Didn't you hear from the lord at the celebration after the other day's battle? Those who participate in that battle are paid a uniform bounty, but a special bounty is to be given to those who have been particularly active in it. The lord hastened a lot of procedures, but he was busy defending his territory. It's a stretch, and now it is."

Oh, my God! I just thought it was over when I got it uniform, but it's going to be an unexpected extraordinary bonus! Mr. Creek is smiling bitterly when he looks at me, even if his face was already sneaky. Why don't you? Don't float because you can get a lot of money. Only if no one is around to float. Mr. Creek offered me a single envelope when he retightened his loose expression. I don't have the habit of writing letters, and I can see that the luxurious, good-quality envelope has waxed, hardened marks. I guess I took it off when Mr. Creek opened it.

"So. Lapis, you, Karin, and Siel have both received invitations from lords. Several other adventurers have been called, but you don't seem to know each other, so let me tell you something. It's not the same date and time you were summoned. The three of you will be here in a week. [M] You asked me to visit the castle at 10: 00 a.m."

"I understand. I'll tell both of you tonight, but I'll tell you what."

"I asked for it."

Instead of a break of hope, they asked me about extraordinary income I didn't think I would, and thanks to that, my face remained naked for the rest of the day at work. Although Mr. Camille and Mr. Miranda worried me because of it.

§ § §

"This isn't the first time I've been here, but you're really making me nervous"

"Me too..."

"You both can't help standing here. Let's go."

A week after I sued Mr. Creek directly for the day off, I was visiting the lord's castle with two people, Karin and Ciel. The castle is heavily guarded. I don't know if this has been the case for a long time or if this has happened recently, but maybe security is being stepped up on the occasion of a flood of demons. I took the two of them, who were surprised to follow me like a duck child, and I called out to the stuffed soldiers next to the main entrance.

"What can I do for you, lady? You plug it in to someone inside? Or would you prefer a glimpse with the lord?

"The lord invited me to come up. Can you take care of it?

The soldier, who took the invitation I offered, asks me if I can look inside with chills. Naturally, so nodding back, he silently reads the contents of the invitation and asks the day to check the sign of the Lord that is written at the end.

"Definitely looks like what the lord wrote. Then we will bring the three of you as Lords' guests. I'll show you around. Come here."

Changing from his previous strict attitude, the soldier behaved as if he were a deacon, calm in his waist. I dare ignore it because I see some sign that the two behind me are happy about it, but when I deal with them, it's going to be a thing that I can't clean up.

Walk in a row down the long hallway. The well-built carpet completely erases the footsteps and is friendly to our feet in thin leather shoes. Today we climb the castle wearing regular clothes instead of regular armor by telling the lord we called. Even so, I don't have a dress or anyone else, so Karin and Ciel are wearing the clothes I gave them, and I'm wearing the white piece I bought yesterday at the garment store. It's a little better than usual, but I can't help it because this is all over the place.

As he proceeded to return the meeting to the different people, he apparently arrived in the desired room. Two guard knights lined up in front of the door that saw us speak inside and open the door. Apparently, you can go inside.

"Excuse me."

"And excuse me"

"Excuse me!

"There you are. You've come so well."

It was a lord dressed in ruffled clothes, unlike at the celebration, who welcomed us into the room with the greetings of the Three Kinds. There was a large terrace in the slightly larger room, a beautiful garden outside surrounded by flowers blooming in the light of day and a white chair for four, one bright white circular table and whether it was aligned. There are four maids standing in awe near the table. In front of them were some teacups and a wagon with plates with various confectionery. I feel like I saw this and at some point, before we knew it, a report of our arrival arrived to the lord.

"Lord, thank you for inviting me today."

"What, thank you for accepting my invitation. I was allowed to prepare a delicious tea with whispers today. I hope it fits your tongue."

On behalf of me, I say hello and all three bow their heads. When the lord returned his thanks with a soothing grin, he guided himself to the terrace. I was urged to take a seat, so I reached for the chair, and the maid pulled the chair ahead of me.... I feel like a real lady. Karin and Ciel both take their seats in confusion. Then the maids standing behind each of them moved out tediously, almost at the same time a teacup filled with tea on the table and a tea contract were prepared.

"Go ahead before it gets cold"

"I'll have it."

"I'll have it!

"I'll have..."

Ciel looks somewhat distraught by Karin, who still seems nervous. The lord has waved us all sorts of topics, smiling bitterly at both of them. Starting with my work in the battle ahead, where I did what training, where did the three of us get to know each other, and now I have something to target - something like that. When I told him that I lived in the back of the mountain, he was peeling his eyes and surprised. The lord was laughing with tears in his eyes when he heard about Karin and why he met her.

The tea that moisturizes my throat has a good scent coming out of my nose when I include it in my mouth, relaxing us who were distracted. The sweetness of the prepared confectionery is enhanced by the sweetness that girls seem to like. The food could be tasted in various ways at the celebration during this time, but since it was the first time I had a kind of confection, I had a fresh and enjoyable time.

"By the way, Lapis, you seem to be combining reception with training center instructors, is there a reason? It'll be hard to say both."

"Uh... I was actually thinking about moving"

"Hmm, moving? Do you have a room for hope?

"I don't have any particular hope of saying this. I was wondering if I could rent a house that matched my income."

"... I see. Then maybe I can help. Let me introduce you to someone I know at a later date. He would have consulted with a lot of people."

"Thank you. It helps because I don't have any handouts at all"

"I'm glad I could help. Now it's time to get down to business today"

When the lord turned her gaze to one maid, she went back to her room just because she knew it and came back with a basin with three bags on it. And leave the bag in front of each and every one of us. Gotri - and from the sound of bumps between heavy things, I somehow got a sense of the contents.

"It's a special reward for your work. Karin and Ciel each have thirty gold coins. Lapis, I have a hundred for you."

"Hiccup!?

"Awesome......!

"Thirty of us!? Oh, thank you!

Even with the acceptance of an alleged high paying guild, a single piece of silver coin is a good place to make a day. I wonder how many years you would make if you were a hundred gold coins. Karin and Ciel are both quite happy. Thirty pieces of gold means you have to make a pretty difficult request.

"With that, Lapis, you'll be able to rent a new room. Or beyond...... Well, if I may advise you as a senior in your life, I suggest you use it the way you are. Well, I'm sorry, but it's time for me to excuse myself. Because I have a lot of work to do. We'll have tea with you when we get another chance."

"Thank you!

"Thank you, lord!

"I advise you, it hurts. Lord."

A lord who smiles and waves at us to thank you and leaves the room behind. After all, when I run a territory or something, I guess it's harder than us. Maybe we have a schedule in minutes.

The three of us with delicious tea and a souvenir called unexpected extraordinary income are in a good mood. The tea party itself ended in about thirty minutes, so I just said the time was still past noon, or the streets are overflowing with people returning to work after lunch. In the meantime, walking in a bag with gold coins made me a little nervous.

"Finally back..."

"I'm tired! I cared many times as much as usual!

"You were carrying a lot of money. Unlike the usual, he didn't have a weapon."

As soon as they arrived at Ciel's house, all three exhaled a grand sigh of relief. Me and Karin are in the chair, and Ciel is throwing herself out on the bed and weakened. How spiritually indulgent was the silence that lasted for a few minutes without a word.

"That was delicious."

"Tea, too. I can drink that every day, so I envy the lord."

Karin, stuck at the table, was all over the place, like a crushed slime. Ciel hangs his half undressed shoe on his leg. I've carried a lot of money with me, but I guess I got tired of running into great people.

"More than that, what are you both going to spend that money on?

To change their mood, they got up and sat back in the chair when I asked them that as they prepared tea for the number of people.

"Uh-huh... Am I new armor? Because the guy I'm using is starting to hurt a lot. I've repaired it many times, and it's time for the limit."

"I'm going to make a new wand. You haven't been well since Rich hit you..."

Sure, the leather armor Karin uses already looks worn out, and it doesn't make much sense as a protective gear. Ciel's sayin 'wand means a wand commonly carried by wizards. You don't need tools to cast magic. But there are many wands in the world that have convenient powers to amplify magic and assist me with chanting. Most canes are created using a tree called Riki (Ribo), which grows somewhere, so the number is small and the value is slightly higher. Probably enough to redeem the bounty I got this time.

"What does Lapis use you for? Moving, after all?"

"Right...... I guess so"

"You're gonna miss Lapis when she leaves."

It gets a little soggy air. Ciel and Karin are neighborhoods, and they're minutes away on foot, so if they move, I'm practically the only one who's going to leave. I wish I could rent a good room nearby, Raw Hate. This neighborhood is a popular neighborhood that gets filled up as soon as I can get an empty room. That's because not so far from the center, there are few places that rent rooms to people whose income is unstable, like adventurers. There was no way I could conveniently find a vacant spot like that, so I was probably going to leave them.

"I don't know what to do until I talk to people about introducing lords. Don't be in a hurry."

"Right. Besides, we're always in the guild, so we meet up."

"Invite me when you look down. I'm interested in what it's like."

I was tired that day, and I had extraordinary income, so as usual I ended up having a slightly higher dinner at the Golden Wheat Pavilion. And a week later, when I was gobbling at Ciel's house, I got up when I noticed the sound of knocking on the door. When the door was opened without particular vigilance, there stood one middle-aged man who seemed weak. He coughs up and smiles like a good person after being surprised as soon as he looks at me as he watches for a moment.

"Excuse me. Is Lapis here?

"Lapis is me..."

"Oh, then you. I'm late for my application. I say Betts doing business with land and buildings in this city. At the request of the lord today, I have come to Lapis to show you the vacant property…"

"Oh! Is that the story! Sorry, I'll be ready to leave in a minute."

Once I went back to the room and spoke to the two of them, who were lenient as they rushed to change into extra clothes, they both began to support themselves in the same way. She said she would accompany you if she looked down.

"Thank you for waiting!

"No, never mind. Your friend will be with you, won't he? Shall we go then?"

The time is before noon. Is there a lot of stores that will be taking a lunch break in a little while, and the store clerk lining up the street is restless looking floated somewhere? On the road, I was surprised to see Mr. Betts checking the materials in his hand.

"Um, this... it's not for rent, it's for sale. And it's cheap."

"What!?

"Liar! Let me see!

Yes, it is carefully written in large letters for all materials in hand. You can't go wrong with this. Besides, it even says the original price and the current price, so I know exactly how much it's discounted.

"Yes. All the properties that we are going to introduce you to are for sale. Rest assured, of course, we keep the price down so that it's easy to ask for it."

"Even if I suppress it, this is..."

It's all nearly a tenth... Does this make it a business? I get worried while I'm in other HR. That conveyed my feelings, Mr. Betts gave me a reason to laugh bitterly.

"Actually, no matter what property you contract this time, the difference is supposed to be paid for by the lord. You said it was a sign of gratitude to Lapis for his great work in the battle ahead. So don't worry about the price."

Lord...... you're fat! According to this material, the average price is around a hundred pieces of gold. That's ten times what I would normally buy. It's like giving a bounty of nearly a thousand gold coins to one of us. I honestly don't have to wonder if it's too much.

"Yes ~... wow!

"Maybe if you think about it. Lapis is a powerful man who kicked all that demon in the ass, and as a lord, he must be the one who wants to keep it surrounded. Then the whole house is cheap, right? Lapis, I'm sure the lord didn't do this with good intentions, so don't be shy."

"Ugh, yeah...... Right."

I see. I didn't realize until Ciel told me. Do you also have such thoughts? It's a cosy city, so I don't want to leave without being here.

"Dear Lapis. This is the first case."

The first to be guided was a house in the heart of the city. Shopping and transportation is probably the best part of the property this time, as it is right next to a district lined with big shops. There are two rooms. It is also possible to separate the ground floor from the second floor so that the first floor can be referred to as a living place such as a meal and the second floor as a bedroom. Toilets and baths are naturally different. Incidentally, the remaining water and excreta in the bath is a mechanism for flowing into the sewer underground, where countless slimes are released using them as staple foods. They are harmless to basic organisms, so you don't have to worry about them coming back out of the excreta aimed at people.

The size of the room is a little wider than what the Syels are renting, so you can simply think of it as double what you've ever had. The windows are on the ground and second floors, one at a time in the same direction as the entrance. It's like there's no view because it's a boulevard in front of me.

"What do you think? The Adventurer Alliance is close, and shopping is easy."

"It's a convenient location."

"The gold wheat pavilion is close, too. Doesn't that sound like a good place?

"That's a good property indeed. But there's a price..."

One hundred and twenty-five pieces of gold. I have about ten gold coins and a bounty, but it's over budget. Plus, there aren't enough rooms. You want at least three rooms.

"If it's not enough, we'll lend it to you, right?

"No, not at all. It's a big deal, so I'll give you a discount."

The two of you who offered me debt and Mr. Betts who offered me a discount. I'm happy with the three favors, but I still want to avoid immediate interruption. Regardless of lending money, it's because I'm uncomfortable borrowing it.

"It's only the first one, and can I look at the others and then make up my mind?

"Of course it is. Let's move on to the next property."

The next one was a little further away from the property. It is subtly off the center of the city and is built in a quiet residential area. I think it would be a very good environment to live in. As far as I'm concerned, I want the tranquillity of my living environment more than my flight, so it was more highly regarded just now. Besides, the price is one hundred gold coins, within the limits of what can be paid for critically. In the meantime, I decided to put it on hold here and look at the next one.

We look around the property one after the other. There are five properties in total that I was shown this time. Every time we moved away from the first property, the dwellings were large, cheap and the number of people around us decreased. The last time we looked around was in a house on the outskirts of the city. Though once inside the city walls, because of the distance from the gates and the centre, houses are just built around the corner with potpourries. I have to walk quite a bit if I want to go shopping, and I have a distance from the guild. But this house had no other attractive elements. It's a garden. There's a garden big enough for one field to go in, and if you want to do it, you might be able to be self-sufficient. The house is equally large, with a total of eight rooms on the ground and second floors combined. It was built to afford even when the extended family lived there. Besides, the bath is huge. I can afford to stretch out my hands and legs and fall asleep, so it seems nice to grab a hot tub here for a long time.

"Wonderful house."

"True! Wah! The bath is huge!

"The price is… it's the cheapest you've ever had"

"Yes. There are fifty gold coins here. Buy now and save because the price may increase in the future due to population growth."

What should I do? This is the best place I've ever seen. If it were this wide, no complaints would come from anyone where I swung my sword, and I have a desire to try and grow crops in the field for the first time in a long time. The problem is just saying it's inconvenient to commute or shop. I don't think I care enough because it's all over the same city. It's also a calming environment, which is my best hope, and I don't think I need to get lost anymore.

"I've decided! I'll do this!

"Thank you. So let's get into the paperwork."

Five hundred real gold coins in this big house? Pretty good value for money, huh? Looking at Mr. Betts making the paperwork, I was aware that my face was naturally loose. This is how the results of my hard work take shape, so there's no way I'm not happy about this.

"Congratulations, Lapis!

"Wow! I can't believe I bought such a fine house! Boulder, it's our master!

"Thanks! Yes, I actually need to talk to you two..."

Two people who bless me wholeheartedly. These two are valuable friends who hang out with me for nothing. I owe it to them for all the hard work I've been doing, and I wanted to make sure they paid me back while I was looking around the property. I laugh at them bewildered.

"If only you two were good, wouldn't you live here with me? There's only so many rooms left, so there's nothing wrong with more residents."

"Lapis!?

"That's...!

I can't help but be surprised. They wouldn't have thought I'd been looking for a house where the three of us could live.

"We're both renting, right? You don't need rent here, you can be somewhat self-sufficient, and most importantly, you can put on an audition in your spare time. I wonder...?

Staring at the two at the top, for some reason, they were blushing and illuminating.

"I can't believe you think about us that much... Yeah, as long as Lapis is good, I want you to do it with me."

"Rent, too, but it's fascinating to say you'll wear an audition. Besides, if it's the same house, we don't have to come all the way out. I want to live with you."

"Good! Then let's all live here! It's good to see you both again!

With an unexpected extraordinary income, I-- No, we were able to get our base. Saying that there is a place where you can go back, no matter what, is the only thing that can keep your mind at peace for a man in a life-threatening business.

I hope this helps their adventurer life, but I signed the papers that Mr. Betts gave me.
