The plain and unnoticed me is no more
Lila's House, 202.
"Oh, you're here.
It was Leviento who popped up from the back room.
It's daytime, but somehow it's a human figure.
Come to think of it, when I met him in the cave, he was also in human form.
I'm not sure if it's my imagination that I look so haggard at heart.
"What are you doing, Leviant?
"I was going to go get you guys when I finished cleaning the house. ...... It saves me a lot of trouble.
There are a lot of fairies flying around in the room, cleaning up the furniture and walls as you look at them.
The floors and walls are in very good condition, with very few scratches on the floors and walls, so it's hard to believe that the house was built hundreds of years ago.
Can I take a look inside that ......?
It's your house. You have nothing to be afraid of.
We walked in through the kitchen door with a pounding heart.
Then a group of cleaned-up fairies walked past us.
I'm puzzled by the strange feeling of relief, even though I don't know the house.
A warm and lovely house: ......
For a building that is older than Shukumitei, it doesn't look too badly damaged and the furniture looks new. It makes you wonder if the building is really hundreds of years old.
When the goddess said "the house is left as it was", she most likely meant that it was kept as it was then.
'Hey, I wonder if the furniture is still the same as it was?
Apparently, after her husband's death, Reinathemis put a ward around the house to prevent other people from entering, so her clothing and household items are still intact. That's why the clothing and household items are still intact from that time.
Predictable. I really kept it as it was then.
'So, when you open the drawers and closets, you find Lila's stuff ......?'
Leviento nodded with a coy smile.
So does that mean the treasure is hidden somewhere in this house? The Goddess said that Shin knows where it is, and we might be able to find it sooner than we thought.
Then we looked around the house.
We looked around the spacious living room, kitchen, bathroom and toilet that doubled as a laundry room, and then the private rooms on the second floor, starting at the end of the hallway.
At the far end is probably the couple's bedroom. A large bed is placed in the center.
In addition to the men's clothes and shoes, the women's clothes were still in storage. These are the goddess's outfits from when she was a human being.
The dress shows signs of clumsily repaired frayed cuffs, and you can't help but be impressed by its use.
It's like looking at the relics of a great man in a museum.
Next to it is an empty room, with a crib and other disused items.
Lila's room is right next to the stairs. The room is about six tatami mats in size, furnished with a bed and a chair, a closet and a chest of drawers, and on the wall is a light red A-line dress that looks like something a teenage daughter would wear and a cancan hat.
When I opened the closet, I found several pieces of clothing left in the closet. On the bottom shelf were a pair of tired brown short boots and a pair of indoor shoes.
I also took a look at the contents of the chest of drawers, but there were only underwear and winter clothes.
I've finished looking through the house, but I didn't find anything in particular that could be called a treasure.
Shin was also looking for something, but he didn't find what he was looking for.
If it's that easy to find, the Goddess wouldn't have asked us to do it, would she?
'Oh yes, Lana, I'll give you the key before you forget.
Leviento said and handed me a bunch of keys.
It is heavy, with several keys attached to a gold ring about ten centimeters in diameter. I don't know what the keys are for, but I'm sure they're not the only ones for this house.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.
"Let's see, ...... which is the house key?
It's the one with the red ribbon. It opens the front door and the kitchen door. The other is the key to the next building, but I'll explain that one later.
Hey, speaking of neighbors, that building wasn't around in the past. It wasn't there when I was here last time, so when was it built?
Hmm. ....... Believe it or not, I started working on it after I sent you back to the inn last time, and I'm finishing it this morning.
It wasn't my imagination that he looked a bit jaded earlier.
I'm sure that Leviento is being used quite a bit by the goddess because of that dark fallen fairy. If you look closely, you can see that her usual sparkling aura has been cut in half.
"No, no, no, it's not a doghouse, and I don't think we can do it in two days,
Shin, do not underestimate the power of God. God is not only the goddess of water and fertility. This case involves Tarja, goddess of destiny and Emmelech, god of creation.
"What ...... you got other gods involved for us?
Goddess of Destiny and the God of Creation! I didn't know that the three gods moved for me and Shin. ...... And cleaning the old house in person of the fairy king.
I felt a slight dizziness and Shin supported me from behind.
It's a waste of the ...... god's power. It's a waste of God's power, you're going to go to all that trouble to build a building like that. Our base of operations is in the royal capital of Wylingham.
"It's just a random thing for the God who created this world. And what do you think the fairy door is for? I'm going to keep it open while I'm still alive, so feel free to use it. Yes, this is for Taki and Chiyo.
Leviant handed two leather string pendants with small black stones to Shin. It's kind of like the obsidian we have.
"What's that, Leviento?
"It's a magical stone called a rainbow stone from the fairy world. I've put my power into it, so anyone with it can walk through that door.
I see, so if you have to have it, there's no way to get through if someone opens the door by mistake. Good, because that door is right next to the owner's room and I was worried about security.
It's the same system as the ...... temple building.
"Ah! Could it be the same stone?
Singh pulled a pendant out of his collar and compared the stones. Then, Leviento gave me a quick answer.
It's also rainbow stone. It is indistinguishable from obsidian because it looks black in the human world, but it changes color in response to a strong force.
"Huh? How did people in this country get this?
There was a time, quite a long time ago, when people and fairies got along. That would have been what they used to put up wards.
It was. ....... So, the one the princess gave you is just an ordinary obsidian.
I'm not going to be able to get it right. Oh my God!
What's up?
"Shin, I haven't made breakfast ready yet!
Oh, man, I'll be right back.
Realizing that it was quite some time before we were going to look, we rushed down the stairs to get back to the inn.
Then, Leviento stopped Shin.
'Singh, I need to talk to you.'
...... So I'm going to go back to the inn first. Levient, I'll come back in the evening.
"Oh, so tonight.
I was curious to see what Leviento would talk about, but since he went out of his way to name Singh, he thought I was in the way, so he left Singh and returned to the inn.
