I think I'll buy a house.
It's getting cold in the winter months.
When I was in Laura's Mansion, I saw the cloudy sky and crushed it.
Isn't Alphonse's home in New Barca?
Laura, the owner of this mansion, replies to me like that.
With a cup of hot tea, I shook my head against it.
"It's called the Barca Palace, isn't it?"It's definitely my house, but I was wondering if I could have a house in my Orient country. "
That's right. You've become a Guardian, and that might be fine.
"Right? Now it would be easy to buy the land in this city."I just stayed in an abandoned village outside the city because I couldn't buy a big house. ”
“But if that's the case, there's a problem.”
"What, what? What's wrong with me buying my house in this city?"
"What about Ai-san?"If Mr. Alphonse buys the house, will he leave? "
Well, I guess so.
Laura's face is dyed in despair when she hears my words.
He looked like he was at the end of the world.
Well, it's not that I don't know how I feel.
Laura has been with Ai ever since she became a senator and lived here.
Ai worked as an assistant secretary to the new congressman, as an escort, and as a caretaker.
Recently, however, Ai himself became a member of the Council and the Speaker.
In other words, Laura became a superior rather than her own secretary.
As usual, it means that I can no longer work as a secretary.
Even though it would be difficult, it would be even more difficult if they left the Mansion.
Ai became the chairman and took a position on the outside, but it looks like he was still helping Laura with her work and consulting in the Mansion.
I'm counting on Eye, but I'm sure that means Laura's the same.
"Well, isn't Laura used to working for the Senator a lot?"You don't have to be around Ai all the time anymore, do you? "
"Ugh, I see. Well, it's not good to be unable to work alone forever.I think this is a good opportunity.But until Alfons's house is ready, you'll stay here a little longer, won't you? "
“Yeah, I think we're going to have to wait a while.”
That's what I'm trying to convince Laura to do.
It's tough, but let's do our best.
That's it, let's get out of here.
When it gets cold, it's hard to move.
Let's just see if there's a good spot.
So I decided to create a new base.
This Orient country is a city surrounded by walls.
There are houses in the midst of it.
However, the more you go to the center of the city, the wider the distance between the house and the house, and the more space you have.
This must be the remnant of the expansion of the city.
When I was thinking about buying land in this city, I couldn't find a place for mercenaries to live with me.
Therefore, there is a history of seeking land outside the city.
But this time, I think I can get the land well.
Apparently, a land with a large mansion has been put up for sale recently.
It seems that the senator lived there, but somehow he abandoned this house because of his unprofessional death.
Thanks to this, we have easily acquired a spacious mansion.
"I don't know, Lord Alphonse."The fact that people lived there until recently makes me feel well cared for.The garden is also spacious and there is nothing to disturb the surroundings.I think it's enough place for Lord Alphonse to live. "
"That's nice, Lord Banage."Speaking of which, my home building is quite different from the Orient building.Is this kind of wooden house better for this person after all? "
"That's right." It is said that the scent of wood and the view from the house to the garden are important.The harmony between the house and the garden doesn't matter.It may be that we often judge and evaluate the two elements collectively. "
"Huh. The garden is important, too."
"Of course not. Look, don't look at it."The fine trees growing over there can be seen well from this edge.However, not only that, but there is a small pond by the tree, so it is as if it is in the city but it is an idyllic place.Whether or not it can be established as a scenic rather than just a residential space is to be regarded as a good feeling of the Lord of the house. ”
I see.
Well, I guess I'd think anything would be fine if I lived there, but apparently it's not.
But maybe that's not the case.
From now on, I, the Guardian General, and Ai, the Speaker, will be here and sometimes invite people.
Some people will connect that kind of sensitivity to person evaluation.
I nodded and listened to the banage explaining that it was better to have a building with a certain level of elevation, although it was not honorable or clear.
In this case, it's convenient because it's close to Laura's Mansion, so let's just buy it.
Besides, this house wasn't just funny in the garden.
Besides the garden and the building, there was a workshop.
A craftsman's workshop used by the people who lived here before.
Looking at the workshop, I figured out how to use this house.
