Middle-aged Adventurer Kein’s Good Deed

40. Reward for good deeds

Kane came to church after being called by the city's great landlord, Old Ronald.

No, exactly, it's a house built behind a church.

This was certainly an old mansion that was about to decay, but what a beautiful rebuilt house it is.

"Oh, here comes Mr. Ronald and Mr. Kane!

Waiting in the garden of the house were the woody yolks of Kuko village.

"We all got together, what's wrong?

Old Ronald laughs happily with his white beard.

"We finally did it. Kane's house."

"Yeah, is that my house?

"Hmm. If you ask me, you said it was Kane who saved the city, but you turned down a bounty from the Royal Government!

"I didn't say no, I asked the Virgin to use it for those who have been harmed this time. And look, I got this."

Kane removes the medal from his pocket.

Even if they bring me the gold and silver treasure, I have no place to leave it, so I get in trouble, but I got one medal that would be fine.

I treasure it as a good body-friendly toy because the kids are happy to show the shiny Scarlet Light Medal (Scarlet Emblem).

"The kingdom is not the kingdom either. There's only one such tiny medal for a hero who saved his country! I don't mean noble, but you could be a knight or a guard captain."

"No, Mr. Ronald. I didn't do anything in the first place."

Kane explains that it was the courage of the sword princesses and adventurers who saved the city and the power of Artena, the god of goodness who dwelt in Kane's body.

Old Ronald laughs when he thought he would shy away like that.

"Well, what are you talking about? It all started with you."

"Maybe that's true."

"I can't tell you all about the country. The same thing happened to me when I was thankful enough. I was wondering if there was anything I could do, and I asked the people in Kuko Village that Kane wanted a house. That's how I decided to offer you the whole house that I would have."

"No, but Mr. Ronald! It's bad to have a house."

"Kane, you can't be too reluctant. Put your chest up and you'll be rewarded for the good you did. If the city is doomed, you'll lose all your wealth, so there's no such thing as a house."

Yorke also says.

"Yes, I rebuilt it with all my soul for Kane, the benefactor of the village. If you don't live here, you're gonna be wasted."

Yes, and the artisans of Kuko Village, who are concerned, stand up.

"Thanks, guys. I'll be sure to thank you."

Everyone laughed doedly when Kane, a little gin, heard him say that emotionally.

"Ha-ha-ha, if Mr. Kane does anything more, he'll hit the bees."

"Come on, get in there faster than that. I made the furniture inside, so have Mr. Kane look at it!

Kuko Village has a range of skilled woodworkers.

The woody yolk is prestigious that his stuffed lumber is a first-rate product, and Dan, the carpenter, proudly tells him that this is the big pillar he made, and Torf, the furniture store, boasts that he had a hard time making this large table.

Kane hears that and feels happy that you're all really good people.

"This is Kane's house?

A little from the front door, Meeya, an orphan girl featuring cat ears, showed her face.

Then, Wah and a child from the church orphanage come in and surround Kane.

"Coracola! When everyone interrupts your house, greetings will come first. Kane, I'm sorry for making such a scene."

Sister Sylvia, a high elf who takes care of the kids, comes rushing in later.

"Mr. Silvia."

"Everyone wants to see Kane's new home."

"No, don't scold the kids. Do it. Glad to hear it, but I still don't really know what it's like to be told that I'm my own house too... because you can come and think of this as everyone's house. And Sylvia, of course."

If everyone in the orphanage thinks it's family, Kane is always welcome.

"Hehe, if you say that, they won't hesitate to come. Well, anyway, I was wondering what would be good for the removal celebration, but I thought I'd bring you some vegetables to cook with."

When Sylvia said so, the Yorks rejoiced.

"That's good. Try to see if you can use the new kitchen."

Together with checking if the newly fixed kitchen could be used properly, we were all going to try to cook.

"Okay, you got a good fire in the furnace."

"This yamaquake meat is delicious, too."

I will discuss the dishes that can be eaten by a large number of people and will do the pot, and the people of Kuko Village will also bring ingredients from the village to help me prepare them.

"I thought I'd miss just the chicken, and I've also picked up some eggs in the mountains, so let's put that in too"

A sumptuous stew was completed, incorporating plenty of mountain delights that everyone had brought to the large pot.

"Look, if it's a meal, you're gonna want this. This is also a moving celebration from Washi."

Old Ronald brought me a lot of wine from his mansion's wine storage.

It was a lively dinner party surrounded by delicious drinks and sumptuous cuisine.

The orphanage kids were thrilled with the long treat, and the Kanes. The adults were in a brooding mood for fun.

And eventually, I stayed up late, so it opened up.

"It's my house..."

While cleaning up after the dinner party in the kitchen, Kane accidentally remembered the loneliness of being alone, whether it was extra because it was busy until just now.

Living in a small house has long been Kane's dream.

This house is much more splendid than Kane would have imagined, and the place is first class behind the church, a garden of impeccable size.

I'm so happy to be able to live in such a lovely house.

Just one more thing, if you say a dream that never comes true, Kane wanted a partner (soldier) to share the joy.

No longer in this world, we may have to give up.

Because she's nowhere else...

"Altena"

Kane calls the name of a dead childhood tame a small one.

"... you called?

"Eh."

It wasn't a mistake to ask, it wasn't an illusion.

From behind the house, with the divine light, Altena appeared.

"I'm sorry to surprise you. I broke up so dramatically that I couldn't get out."

Altena laughs a little shy.

"Altena, how could you!

If you hold it by accident, it feels soft on Altena's body.

Can there be such a miracle?

"Kane gathered a lot of faith in me as a good god, and Kane would have purified it without defeating the evil god. Thanks to this, it seems like the power just stayed a little and didn't have to disappear completely"

"Good for you, Altena! That......"

Kane tried to kiss Altena in the face, but her response disappears softly.

"I can't get out much because I'm still weak... see you, Kane"

Kane replies again to a gentle Altena voice going away.

"... well, but it was really good"

In the back bedroom bed, Kane falls asleep satisfied.

Thus, Kane fulfilled one old dream of having a home, but apparently the other one didn't have to give up yet either.
