I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 60: Life is in the House
"No, this is...
"I don't think so.
I first came to see a property in a commercial district in the northeast, but that was what I felt when I went out to the courtyard.
It certainly seems convenient for living because I only crossed one street to the commercial district. The courtyard is bigger than I thought, and the building is not that old.
"It's dark.
"... Jimejime.
I should have noticed it at the time of "commercial district" and "bungalow". The sun is terrible in this property.
This is not to say the best part of the city, but it's a convenient block. Close to the commercial district, not too far from the north-south boulevard. Quite a popular area. Naturally, it will become a densely populated area, and in order to accommodate more people, the residence will be two or three floors. This hall is, to say the least, a bungalow in the area. It can be said to be luxurious in a sense, but the sun is bad because of it anyway. Everything is surrounded by tall buildings except the west side with a front door. It is fairly dim to say that it is still morning. The wind won't get through at all and the laundry won't dry now.
In addition, the courtyard surrounded by the corner building is also completely visible through the windows of the surrounding building. Instead of keeping secrets, it's a dump.
This might have been a great property in Tokyo's 23rd arrondissement, but it's not.
It was unanimously rejected.
◇
Next is the property near the south gate. A little away from the commercial district, but quiet and calm enough. It may be good to rest tired from adventures.
But this is...
"Bollocks.
"It looks like they're sneaking around.
The size of the garden and the size of the building were fine, but the problem seemed rough. The building is the same loghouse style as the surrounding area, but the green moss and vines are intertwined on the surface up to the second floor. You can also see burning marks and scratches on logs that you can see everywhere. It looks pretty damaged. The garden grass is also all-you-can-grow, and the cobblestones leading to the entrance are barely discernible.
"Why are you so rough?
"Hey, there's a lot going on here.
This is what Tamara said.
Once upon a time, there lived a bigotry rich man here with his daughter. My daughter was born weak and wasn't very good at walking. Because of that, she hardly appeared on the surface.
My husband hates bigotry, and since he left his wife, he has lived secretly in this mansion with his daughter, with his accumulated wealth. There was little contact with the surroundings, and the interaction with the outside world was such that your merchant would bring food once a month.
It seems to have been that way for a while, but it seems that the city of Dorton was attacked by monsters 15 years ago. The village chief was active in the Third Dolton Defense Battle. At that time, the monsters entered the city in heavy raids, causing many casualties to the citizens.
They thought they managed to exterminate all the monsters, but there were actually a few goblins hiding in this Mansion. The owner of the Mansion was murdered, and the crippled daughter was turned into a seedbed for the Goblin. Shortly after the accidental delivery of food, the Goblins bred without leaving the Mansion... and finally ran out of food and overflowed outside the Mansion. The merchant's death in an earlier raid was also a distant cause of breeding. The city was panicked by another monster raid, but the Adventurer City, the Goblins, was quickly exterminated.
The daughter who was found after that was already dead and was eaten by the goblins and left with nothing but her head. What an unfortunate man.
The house and city were searched and the noise converged, confirming that there were no goblins left. Property without handlers was to be managed by the Alliance, but the Mansion was said to be sold because it was difficult to maintain.
But in this world, which still has medieval superstitions and genuine responsibility, I didn't seem to like buying such an ominous property. The management fee was also cut off in the first few years, and you can see it now.
The Alliance is also in trouble, and if they can't sell it by the end of the year, they're going to dismantle it and turn it into more land.
The point is, it's an unmistakable "translated ants property."
Does that mean that the negotiation of a discount on the demolition fee is effective? Someone grabbed my cuffs when I was thinking about removing the building in the middle of the night... etc.
"... (Full).
It was Samantha. She is shaking her head with tears in her eyes. It seems unusual and disgusting. The difference from the usual lotus leaves is a bit cute. This is Gap Cute!
Apparently, Samantha doesn't like this kind of gloomy story. Probably not good at horror, either. As an adventurer, there are one or two things everyone doesn't like. I can't help it.
"I don't think I have this property either.
"... (Chuckles)!
"Oh, I'm sorry.
Samantha nods with a reassuring smile. Tamara doesn't seem so unfortunate. Somewhat expected. At the beginning of the year, it's definitely going to be more land, right here.
◇
I arrived at the last property, on the southwest side of the city. Actually, I knew about this property. It's a daily walking course with Wu. From the south gate to the west, turn north in front of this house to the harbor. The coastal road, which is planted with pine-tree wind forests that block the sea breeze, is quite interesting and favorite. I thought someone lived there, but it was empty.
The exterior of the building is no different from others. It's a log house style two-story building with logs. It's not that old compared to the surroundings.
If you show me inside, I don't have any household goods, but it doesn't look rough. It seems that it has only recently appeared for sale. Everything was a small merchant house based in King's Landing, but in the war in the north, the branch was damaged and the house was sold to make up for the deficit. He didn't originally do business in Dolton, so he took the opportunity to transfer his foot to Border Sets. War affects you in many ways.
The grounds, including the garden, are surrounded by walls, except in front of the entrance. The height is about 3 meters? It's a former merchant's house, so you're thinking about crime prevention. The open corner is closed by the gate, so the security seems to be strong. It seems to be about 10 meters away from the castle wall, and it will be difficult to fly from there. The sea is also blocked by walls, with only a small entrance and exit. The sea breeze is blocked, but it seems impossible to enjoy the scenery. I'm a little sorry.
Opening the small entrance and diving through, it was a cliff wall about two meters away. Looking down, the waves were shattered about 20 meters away. It's not too intense. This entrance/exit is probably for garbage disposal. There are no synthetic petroleum products in this world, so all garbage is returned to nature. If it's the sea, fish and the like will eat it, so I don't think it'll be wasted. In my previous life, I would have been angry with environmental organizations, but there's nothing like that in this world.... no, right?
When I looked next to her, Christella's blue face solidified. You should've seen it if you were scared.
"I don't think there's a problem here.
"That's right. The sun isn't bad and the building doesn't seem to be damaged.
"It's a little far to the store. But there is a well, so it might be easier without pumping water.
"I have no problem but throwing away the garbage.
Everyone seems to be fine. Kristella refused to dump the garbage with slave-head authority. Let's have a discussion around here.
"Mr. Tamara, how much is the rent here?
There are no other good properties, and if it falls within budget, you can decide. If you slip, you postpone it, and if someone else moves ahead, you'll regret it. These things are instant.
"I see, the rent is one gold coin a month, and the security deposit is five gold coins. If you buy it, 20 large gold coins will be included in the land.
Is that it? It feels like 100,000 for rent, 500,000 for security deposit and 20 million for purchase. Properties on this level don't have to have one different digit.
"Is that the right price?
"That's right. It's used so this is what it looks like. Well, there's hardly any land to build a new house in Dolton right now.
Looks like the real estate market was cheaper than I thought. No, it's my mistake to refer to the Japanese land situation. Japanese real estate is too expensive.
"I'll buy it! Bulk cash!
These things are instant.
