My First Trip was to Another World

I said goodbye to my realtor uncle and came back to Elminsur. I'll be home sooner than I thought.

When I walked into my usual working room, Luna called out.

"Welcome back. How was the house?

"Did you have a nice home?

Leeds also looks intrigued. Turn your eyes on me like you'd expect.

"Oh, I've found some pretty affordable properties. I want everyone to see it, so let's go together for once."

"Okay. You want to go now?

"No, I'll get the money ready first so I can sign the contract right away. The inside look will be fine tomorrow."

If Luna and the others agree, we're going to sign a contract soon. To that end, I would like to prepare gold coins in advance. Gold coins aren't carefully cleaned up, so it's gonna take you a while to get ready.

Claire and I counted the gold coins, 3,000 pieces, just counting them is quite a hassle. I then counted the remaining gold coins, but stopped on the way because I had exceeded 2,000 pieces. It's hard to use it too......

I was free when I finished preparing the gold coins. I wonder how the transfer device is progressing. Let's hear it.

"Sorry, I may not be able to make it right away"

"Is that so hard?

"No, I don't have enough ingredients. We need expensive materials in large quantities…"

The transfer device is just about the size of a little safe on one side. It seems to be a small combination of parts, but every one of them seems to require a fairly high material. I guess some ingredients are hard to come by, not just expensive.

I gathered it now. I don't know how many months it will take. But...

"You have ingredients. You can use the originally installed transfer device in pieces."

"Ah... is that okay?

Luna gave a hazy look and immediately stifled her face. Seems a little reluctant to tear apart Elminsur's equipment.

"No problem. I wasn't going to go underground again."

Instead, the transfer device was meant to break. If it's available effectively, it would be better.

"If I can use that, it's going to be finished soon."

Mr Lilli said, Luna nodded small.

"Okay. Let me use it."

"Okay, I'm going to remove the device on Diego's side."

The device on the palace side can be removed by the Lunas, but not by the Diego side. Once you move with metastatic magic, and you remove the device, you have to come back with metastatic magic. It's pretty tough. It can only be me or Elf's Elder.

I transferred carefully so Diego wouldn't understand me. As expected, the device that was supposed to have been destroyed was still being repaired.

I realized thanks to the idea of buying a house, but if I had left it like this, Diego would have escaped sooner or later. I'm sick of just thinking about it...... I'm glad I noticed.

I'm not sure how it works, so I'm forced to pull it off the roots.

"Becko!"

Something broke. If you look closely at your feet, the fixed part peels off from floor to floor...... Well, the device body is safe. No problem.

"Who is it?!

Problem! I heard Diego from afar!... Let's just get out of here.

He returned to the work room and handed over the transfer device to Luna.

"Is this it?

"Thank you. Thanks to you, it's going to be completed soon."

I guess it saved me a lot of trouble because I just remodeled the actual thing.

"That was good. You don't have to, but thank you."

"Ha! Good luck!

The transfer device is left to Luna and the others. I feel a little bad that it's going to end sooner I don't get my hands on it......

The next day, I'll get ready and go check on the house. I took my realtor uncle and visited the example property.

I intend to buy it today and check my surroundings thoroughly. You know, neighborhood trouble after you moved in, it sucks. That said, that's a super unpopular district. There are few surrounding buildings and dozens of meters around the house are muddy with weeds growing.

There's nothing like a landmark and I don't know where it's from that land I plan to buy.

"What's going on with this, the land boundary?

"It's all around the grass growing"

"That's pretty wide..."

This untouchable weedland, is it going to be our land for quite a long time... Rather annoying. It's hard to manage.

"Think of the land as an omelet. Even if we save the land, the price won't change."

It's a level I'd like to refuse to receive, but my uncle doesn't seem to be selling roses. I have no choice. Do you want me to take it?

I proceeded with something road that was paving to the point of my apologies and came in front of the building. I'll check again... I knew the exterior was terrible. And the unnecessary land around you gets in the way.

"This is... terrible"

"Hmm. I like it, this kind of atmosphere"

"It's full of nature"

I don't know if I can do this misery with a word full of nature, but at least Leeds and Mr. Lily liked it. Luna doesn't seem to like it very much.

"It's not that bad inside. Look inside and think about it."

Go inside the building and look around at the equipment just like yesterday.

On the ground floor there was one large living room, one studio-like hall, and a small kitchen. On the second floor there were eight rooms about eight tatami. Enough to live in, but I wouldn't use it much.

There is a large warehouse and well in the basement and a water bath near the well. It's mainly this way to use it. I wish I could install a transfer device in the warehouse and use it to get to and from Erminssur.

Perfect size and amenities. I'm thinking about buying this place... it depends on how Luna and the others react.

I went outside after seeing it all the way through, where Luna and Mr. Lilli spilled bosoli.

"Um... do you have enough budget?

"Hmm. Isn't it a little over budget?

Neither one of us seems to think this building is worth just 3,000 sheets. It's obviously cheap considering the value of the magic props applied.

"No, this building, it's actually 3,000 gold coins"

"Are some of them dead?

Leeds feels the same way about me...... After all, properties that are too cheap are suspicious.

"They're not dead. Simply, the exterior is worn out and not in a good location. You have to be cheap to get a buyer."

"I see...... You look terrible."

"Maybe this house is halfway there. Because it's built for nobility, but it's not the kind of land nobles live in."

I guess Claire wants to say no one wants it. Buildings cannot be said to be for ordinary people. If I were to buy it, I'd be a nobleman or a merchant or an adventurer.

But nobles won't want to live in such a jittery place, and merchants and adventurers should be distant because their guilds and shopping districts are far away. Only the amenities are luxurious... but it's a property nobody gets.

"... I have a very painful ear... how about"

My uncle says he seems very sorry. It wasn't the kind of conversation you'd have in front of the owner.

"I'm sorry. I'm going to buy this place, what do you guys think?

I glanced at my uncle and asked everyone.

"I'll be fine in any house."

Leeds says looking at the building. I wonder if the idea is that it's just as good as any house.

"I agree"

"I don't think the building is bad. Agreed."

Mr. Lily and Luna agreed. I guess this is the decision.

"I'll decide here. I just want to sign a contract, okay?

Turning to his uncle, he replied with a bitter laugh.

"I appreciate you buying it, are you sure?"

"Hmm? What?

"It's not a good location, and... its... its exterior..."

True, this place is far from going anywhere. Besides, this neighborhood is so jittery and uncomfortable. But on the contrary, I like that. This is the kind of land nobody gets close to if they don't need anything. Few people are anxious to get suspicious about the transfer device.

I don't want to stand out. It's perfect for me.

"Oh, I'll fix the exterior over here, so no problem. Location isn't as bad as it sounds."

I'm slightly concerned about the cruelty of the exterior, but I'm going to keep it this way as long as possible. If I can't clean it, it floats from this place. I'm going to keep The House of Witches to blend into my surroundings. I just want to make a wall or so.

"Thank you. So how about paying?"

"Full cash. I brought it."

"Huh...? Full price? Transfer......"

Is that it? Nico, I thought you'd be happy to pay cash, but it looks kind of annoying.

"Sorry, I don't have a bank account."

"I see... I understand. We will now receive it in cash"

My uncle says with a bitter laugh. Sounds kind of pretty annoying...... Let's ask Claire when this happens. In Claire's ear, she asks in a low voice.

"Why do you seem so annoying?

"Oh... look, gold coins aren't like you can keep at home all the time, so you have to go to the bank with gold coins after this. But gold is very heavy, isn't it?

I forgot about it, but the normal magic bag weighed just the same...... The only thing that stops you from feeling the weight of what you put inside is a luxury velcro bag.

I see, does my uncle have to force me to muscle after this? That was a bad thing.

"I'll lend you my magic bag. I don't feel the weight, so you should take it to the bank now."

Saying so, I threw 3,000 gold coins into my spare magic bag and gave it to my uncle.

"Nah......! Thank you for your attention! Helpful!"

Much appreciated...... Besides, I paid for it, so I want to start remodeling the house as soon as possible.

"Can I live in the house anymore? I want to modify it, so I want it as soon as possible."

"Oh, you're still renovating. This is the property I'm giving you, so you can finish it right away."

Thanks.I thought we had a more cumbersome procedure...

"No paperwork, no contract?

"You can have it later. I'm coming to give you back your magic bag, so how about then?"

I don't think the remodeling works are the kind of work that ends in a day, so someone should be home, and if one of you stays home, you can call me on a smartphone.

"Copy that. Someone will be here for a few days, so you can always come."

"I understand. Then I beg your pardon. Thank you for your purchase."

Uncle walked away, bowing his head deeply. Drop off your uncle appropriately and enter the house.

Entrance hall loaded with dust. I can't say I'm comfortable right now. Start by meeting about the retrofit plan.

"All right, let's start the remodeling."

Here, I told Luna and the others about the proposed modification.

Firstly, install a transfer device. Next, demonize the door. Allow the smartphone to have the function of a key to autolock it. Remodeling to this point is mandatory. And I wonder if the fence that surrounds the house is also a must. This doesn't have to be a demon prop, though.

It's a house that leads directly to Elminsur, so I want to make sure it's secure.

Further air-conditioned to incorporate an air purifier. I would also like to enhance the effect of state preservation if possible. Finally, I want a magic prop that removes moisture from the garden.

"You don't have enough magic..."

"Can't you do something with Capacita?

"... ok. I'll try my best."

Luna stared at the distance and answered. I wonder if that was a bit of a difficult order.

It's going to be a pretty laborious task. I will be here from Erminsur for a while and will focus on remodeling the house. Luna, Leeds and Mr. Lily are working on the magic props, and Claire is cleaning.

"Do you want me to help?

"Ah... no, because when Mr. Coe gets his hands on it, the house is going to be a fortress..."

Luna reluctantly says. Fortresses don't seem to be liked. A house full of weapons, I think it would be nice.

"Well, I'll help you clean."

"Huh? Cleaning by yourself is enough. Can I ask you to install the fence?

The fence is not planned to be demonized, so it will only be installed normally. That said, there are no members of us who can build walls. Seems like an adventurer can do anything about it, so I guess it's time to get used to it.

"Copy that. Leave it to me."

All right, let's stick it out and make it. The creation of the fence has a special magic prop, so I'll go and buy it first.

… it will be another expensive purchase. I can't believe I'm running out of 5,000 gold coins.
