"─ ─ I was able to purchase the land on the condition that I delivered my cooking to the king ten times."
"No, it was cheap... It's not even a spinner."
Tina said she bought it because it was cheap at the Notre-Dame site, but the price was to be paid with Tina's cooking as Jill suggested.
"But if I can eat Tina's food, I'll do my best, so I wonder if that's what it is."
Having eaten it since childhood, Hart's cooking is an irreplaceable treasure for her.
"Master Hart. Congratulations again on your promotion to C Rank. Would you please take this?
"Thank you. If His Majesty wants to give me this land, I'll take it. Thank you for cooking and taking it with you."
"Leave it to me. Then, in this case, Yoko and Kyoko also moved a little. Could you both please speak to Master Hart?"
"Yeah, okay."
"Thank you very much. Here you go."
Tina hands Hart the Notorious Site Title. After receiving it and confirming its contents, Hart magically transferred the entitlement form to his room vault.
"I mean, didn't you destroy Notreau the day before yesterday? When I saw it today, the land in front of the Adventurers Guild was already more land...."
"It's a filthy building that was maintained with money exploited by others. After collecting and selling everything that could possibly be sold as compensation to the victims of that clan, the building was magically built by me ─ ─"
Tina went halfway and remembered the setting (...) where Notorius happened to be destroyed.
"When did you do it with earth magic?"
"It's okay. It's a coincidence."
Tina realized that Hart had noticed everything. But I also know that Hart will be convinced if he tries to force himself out.
"... for now. But Tina's not alone right now, so don't be too dangerous."
With that, Hart hugged Tina from behind and gently stroked her stomach.
"Yes, yes. Be careful."
Tina lay her hands on Hart's hand as her face turned red.
They have been doing so for a while.
Little by little, Tina looks back and speaks, hugged by Hart.
"Now that we have the land, the next thing we need to do is build a clan house."
"That's right. There's a new land right now."
"I can call the leading architects of the H&T Chamber of Commerce and leave everything to you, but how about that?
"So let's gather everyone in the clan to discuss things. Sally, Lilia, Kate and Aria. Let's decide what kind of facilities we want."
Kate and Aria, who were Automata, are now waiting for the next instruction from Hart in the King's City lodge. His invitation confirmed their participation in Hart's clan, the Familia.
"I understand. Let's finish the meal and get you together in the living room."
─ ─ ─ ─
"Yes, so now I'm going to make a design proposal for our clan house."
Hart speaks out to everyone gathered here.
Twenty-four and seven gathered here.
First, right next to Hart, his wives - Tina, Rifa, Luna, Yoko, My, May, Merdy, Luca, Chalka, Seyla, Ermia, Kyo, Citry, Acari, and Silf.
Luke and Riel, Lucin and Hinata are on the sofa a little further away. They currently reside in the House of Ernol, but join the family after graduating from Yiflus Magic School.
Lily and Sally the Beast, who also decided to join the family, and Kate and Aria were listening seriously to Hart on another couch.
The five slime daughters came here as if they said, "We're all gathered." I don't care about Clan or anything if I can stay by the House of Ernol. The beast Shiro is like them, sleeping on the lap of Slime's daughter with Suyasuya.
The four remaining slime daughters were playing with Teto, an acari pet.
Regarding the design of the clan house, each (each) speaks of their own ideals.
"Let's make Master Hart's room, the length of his clan, extravagant."
"We should build that room in the center of the Clan House to make it easier for us to meet Mr. Hart."
I appreciate Rifa-san's opinion!
"Ohh! My room is in the middle of the clan."
A cube made of magic was floated in the air by Hart, who was able to visualize magic and color it. It seems to be somehow imagining the appearance of the clan house.
"Hart's Room" was added to the center of the cube.
"I want a garden because I want to grow flowers."
Luna, I've been growing plants too.
"We'll do it together!
"There's a lot of land, and I think we can make a pretty big garden. For now ─ ─"
Sheet-like magic unfolded on the bottom side of the cube. This sheet reproduces the shape of the notorious site. A part of the sheet is surrounded by a circle, and the word "garden area" appears.
This is what it looks like.
"The Lord should not restrict those who enter the Clan House to avoid strange insects."
"Concubine hallucination magic can also prevent anyone from entering the clan's premises except those authorized by Master Hart."
"Ah, that's probably from a crime prevention point of view. Can you build a counter or a reception room to receive requests and keep outsiders out of the back?
"No problem. Leave it to me."
"Thank you, Kyoko. Good to see you again."
A cube is added, like a cranhouse entrance and counter, followed by a square with four reception rooms.
"Um... I like this mansion too, but will you move if you have a clan house?
"I agree with Luca. I love this place because it's so cozy!
"In a few months, Hart and the others will graduate from here. Of course, I'm going to quit my teacher, but then I won't be able to stay in this mansion."
"Ah, then I'll talk to Ji-chan so he can stay here even after graduation?
"Luke, thank you. But it's okay. You don't have to worry about that."
That's how Hart smiled.
I'm sure there's a secret.
When he does this, he often tries to surprise someone in his family.
Everyone here has spent so much time with Hart. So I understood that it would be futile to ask him what he was going to do.
In the meantime, I wonder...
A seat with a cube inspired by a clan house. The empty space was added in the same shape as the mansion where they are now.
