After finishing shopping, Ardis returned to the forest the same day and started talking at dinner.
"As long as we gathered information in the royal capital for two days, Nere's captivity seemed to be the dogma of the Marquis Tria. He seems to be hiding. ''
"Hm, then I don't seem to have to hide."
Nere nods with satisfaction.
"That's why. You can walk around in the royal capital .... I'm not very reluctant to get an inn or buy a house in the royal capital."
"The reason is?"
"How much you try to hide, Filia and Liana will eventually fall apart, just as they did in Tria. Then it's even more dangerous to make this place a full-fledged residence."
Of course, there is another danger of wild beasts roaming compared to living in the city, but that doesn't matter much as long as there are Aldis and Nere. It was much easier to resolve than the malice from the hard-to-treat residents.
"In addition, it would be better to have a little outdoors, rather than staying locked up in the house."
The eyes of Aldis and Nere are poured on the twins. He held a large loaf of bread, eaten after a long interval, and ham-hamed him in his hands, unraveling Aldis's heart without knowing it.
"If my Lord has decided to do so, I will only obey."
Nere tells you, of course.
"Okay, so let's build a house tomorrow."
"Oh, how about that?
"Hit you, let's go!"
The twins opened their mouths one after another with bread on their cheeks, but the words were all utterly indistinct.
The next morning. After breakfast, Aldis and others start building a full-fledged house.
"First we have to expand the site. Nere, will you clear that area? It's enough if you put the wood around here."
"Ok, my lord."
Nere was instructed and magically cut off the hut and burned the remaining stumps with hot flames. Aldis cuts off the successive branches of the tree and applies a magical drying process. It should have dried in half a day.
Next, Nere digs up a part of the land that has been cut open with earth magic, and squeezes it into blocks of moderate size while pouring magic into the soil.
"Is this what you want?"
"Enough"
After about an hour, there was enough land to build the house. It is about twice the size of the house where Aldis and his family lived in Tria.
"Okay, let's say we're going to use the baked clay blocks as our main building material, and then put the dried wood inside. We'll have a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and a toilet ... so I want to make a bathroom. The place where the soil was excavated is in the basement and in the warehouse ... and it's better to have a hidden room for emergency evacuation in case something goes wrong ... and then put the dummy warehouse outdoors ... "
The twins argued, squeezing and pulling thoughtful Aldis clothes.
"What is Aldis's room?"
"Do you not make it?"
"Hmm? I'll make it. My room and Nere's room ... are Philia and Liana a separate room?"
"Good with Aldis!"
"Room with Liana!"
"It's big enough, so why not make it your own?"
The servant also puts his mouth from the side.
"I don't mind if I'm in the same room"
"No, that's true ..."
Aldis frowns immediately.
Now she is a temporary hut and can't help sleeping, but originally Nere is a woman of her age. It sounds like a man, but it didn't feel right for a 17- or 8-year-old maiden to be in the same room as a young man.
In the end, apart from using it or not, she decides to create rooms for Nere and her twins.
"Do not make the second floor to be inconspicuous.
Kiln "My Lord. Why don't you make bread together?"
Buddha Certainly, even if you go out to the royal capital for shopping, you will lose your luggage if you buy bread in bulk every time. Stocking only the ingredients and baking them at home each time will be less troublesome. It is not difficult to devise to make the kettle smoke invisible.
"Can Nere make bread?"
"There is no feature to that extent."
She was a versatile woman.
"Well, let's make it next to the kitchen."
With a rough plan, Aldis is ready to build the foundation. The surface of the excavated hole is shaped, baked and hardened while pouring magic, and divided into several rooms. The basement of the floor was laid over the basement, and the soil was placed on top of it and covered with blocks.
The main building material on the ground is magically hardened blocks. Arrange the blocks like stacking bricks and make walls and roofs.
Due to lack of blocks on the way, she instructed Nere to secure the soil, but she carried in a large amount of soil from a distance and started making blocks without permission. Hardening the soil while pouring in magic is Aldis's own method, but Nere can easily do the same without any teaching. With a simple comparison, Aldis doesn't feel like losing. However, in terms of mystery, it was Nere, whose bottom was less obvious than Aldis.
The work on the first day was over there.
On the second day, they process the dried wood and cover the floor, ceiling and walls in the room. Surplus wood is used for furniture such as tables and chairs, entrances and doors in each room.
The vacant area on the premises had a space for exercise, a place to put firewood and timber, and finally a small garden was built right next to the house. Despite being able to go outdoors, the twins, who couldn't move freely into the woods or other towns, thought they would be more or less distracted by horticulture.
"Now it's a lot of a shape. From today, this is our house, not a hut."
"Well then move?"
"Do you want to start now?"
"Oh, let's bring your luggage out of the hut. Can you both help?"
"Yeah, Philias carry clothes!"
"Then, Lianas carry bread!"
The twins ran to the hut, responding cheerfully.
After seeing it off, Aldis gazes at the newly completed house. The details still need to be worked on, and there are many things missing. But for the time being, Aldis was getting a little satisfaction from having a place to settle down.
"The rest ... I don't have enough bedside fireplaces, wood chopping tools, and cooking utensils. but"
"My Lord. If there is a shortage, I have about 60 gold coins."
"No, you're saying it's Nere's share."
Apparently, Nere doesn't intend to spend any rewards on his own. The hunter's share of the hunt is simply "received", and he doesn't seem to be aware of it. Of course, they seemed to spend the least, but it was about spending some silver coins.
"I still have enough money on hand, and I don't have to spend Nere's money."
Aldis has about 80 or more gold coins. If you live without rent, you can live for several years.
"I'm going to the Royal City again tomorrow to buy miscellaneous goods and bedding."
"What should I do?"
As long as you keep the twins here, either Aldis or Nere must remain to protect them from the beast.
If anything, Aldis should be working outside, leaving Nere. Even though the table has not been arranged, it is possible that Hula Tria is secretly looking for Nere.
"Bad but answering machine"
"I understand, my Lord"
Yasushi Nere shows no complaints and bows down.
Set up a house outside the city and hide the twins from the public eye. This choice is made possible by the presence of Nere, who can leave her twins while she is away. Aldis alone can take his twins out of danger or rent a house in the city as before.
Thanks to Nere, Aldis has gained freedom of action. Speaking quietly, Aldis was grateful for it.
"I left my absence."
Instead of thankful words, words of trust came out of his mouth. Upon hearing this, Nere smiled with satisfaction.
