I'd like to offer you that fort as a residence.

And the old knight told me.

Only ten days ago, when I made my transition to this world (Sedia), it was that fort prison that woke me up. Then until now, I spent five days there with Mora the night I got rid of the bandits and with the Knights and Adventurers after destroying the Dark Nest. It is somehow the most impressive place. The interval also floats right in the back of my brain.

Over there? In my house?

Although I did admire a single family home when I was a company employee in Japan, living in a used apartment for thirty years.

"... but I'm sorry, but I can't see the conversation."

"Seems to put me to shame."

You thought I was in love, and the Knights chief smiled bitterly.

"The bandits who used to root over there were a relatively large category. The magician seems to have changed his policy since he became a head… Until then, merchants and travellers used to take tolls that were too much to bear."

The Knights chief says he dared to abandon them in order to conquer bandits in such a way and avoid more vicious thieves coming.

That's certainly an embarrassing story. But, well, I know you can't just do it with every beauty in the world.

"I mean, you think if I lived there, I could expect to maintain security?

"The word" policing "would not be enough. Order is restored. There's no such thing as wanting to work evil on the Great Wizard's lap."

That's a great way to put it, but in short, it doesn't change that you want to use me. Preserving security and order in that area would be the task of the Knights.

"Excuse me, but it doesn't seem to me to be of great benefit"

"I do not intend to oblige you in any way. If you simply own it, you don't have to actually use it as a residence"

Does it mean the fort does it, but it doesn't even do the interests of the surrounding area? It's getting less and less beneficial.

But, well, they also seem to have budget problems, and it's not stingy to cooperate to keep bandits from spreading.

"My self-serving assumption, great magician... isn't a wizard living in an orphan tower?

Sure, there's not a lot of talk about big wizards and big sages living all over town in fantasy novels. Given the noise in the village of Yule and the attitude of the villagers, perhaps I should avoid living in people.

"Besides, I don't think it's a bad place for you to be quiet without getting annoyed by the chores?

If you ask me, it might not be a bad property as a man's lair. Instead of a single house with a garden, it's a castle fort surrounded by woods. The first night, I was too surprised by the tranquility, and the starry sky was the best.

"The report says that there is little damage and that there are facilities in place to live comfortably."

I stayed with the knights for five days, but there was no inconvenience. We took a bath with water poured into the barrel on the upper floor of the main tower, but the magnificent mountains and woods were spectacular.

... On second thought, you need a place where you can store your treasures left in your backpack or calm down and create magic items.

Ah. Speaking of which, I also had to make a spare spell document.

"It may not be enough as a thank you for your help in the Dark Crusade, but I want you to understand that I think you're going to put our faces on"

"You can't say no to that."

Mm-hmm. It's a reasonable decision.

"Huh? Aren't you an idiot?

Crawler poured cold water on my report back in the guest room. That's rude.

"It's the result of reflection. People won't get close, they'll be quiet, they'll be safe, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Not so! What happens to me and Lellis City Mage Guild?!?......"

A neatly hoisted frown crawler tries to pull my ear by example, but dodged it in gorgeous steps.

"No, no, I really need an environment where I can work quietly. The Sorcerer's Guild will definitely be visiting, so could you wait a little longer?

Nothing, I'm not just blind to the man's lair.

When you think about the importance of my actions, for humanitarian reasons, the first thing you need to do is gather information about the dark. Next, for practical reasons, a preliminary spell document will be drawn up. If there is a 'watcher' involved in the emergence of the dark, it will be my problem.

As for the spell document, I can't carry the spell document all the time as I'm going to live in this world (Sedia). At a minimum, a safe storage area will also need to be spared to prepare for theft or damage. And the task of replicating the spell document will require a lot of material, costs, and a place to work.

In terms of importance, the investigation of the dark is above, but realistically, we cannot act safely and in various ways unless we duplicate the spell document. In other words, the best place to start is to receive the fort as a place where you can work and store it.

And when I explained it cordially and politely, Crawla snorted as she seemed really dissatisfied.

"So, what time can we head to the city of Lellis?

"Since we lifted the alert system to the dark, the fort was transferred about five days later, and then we put our bags in the fort, and then I guess..."

"So... ha! I'll only wait another seven days. Wow! Then you will definitely come to the city of Lellis. Yikes!?"

"You're talking about two new homes, aren't you? Why don't we just slow down a little bit?

Sedam, who was listening to us interact funny, brought tea in. It was the first time I heard him make jokes about this hand. Don't worry, if this is modern Japan, they'll complain about sexual harassment.

"You're not a magician, so you can make that kind of crap joke... For a sorcerer, how much of this person is a threat… no"

"I'm interested in magic, too. I won't keep you waiting any longer."

I can't make a reproduction of the spell in a single day, but I need to get all the ingredients together. Either way, I just want to go to Lellis City once.

"Then… I (I) will accompany you to the fort"

"Huh?"

"What's with that face?" Excuse me.

I was delusional about the quiet, graceful fortification life of one man, and I had an unexpectedly dumb voice.

Then for five days, I was staying in a room at Whitesword Castle.

I could relax going for a stroll to the village of Yule, renting a library book to read, and helping train the Calvinella brothers and sisters. The lives of the people of Yule village and the Knights were basically very simple and relaxing. However, the gaze of fear from ordinary villagers and others remained unchanged. Never hated me, no it seems more respected...... I still thought maybe I shouldn't live in people as the 'Great Wizard'.

Adventurers outside of Crawla, including Sedham, left Whitesword Castle on the third day to return to the city of Lellis.

"I have to report you to the Adventurer Alliance. You're a great wizard and a great hero."

"Make it as much as you want."

exchanging a firm handshake with me, Sedam said. No, you really need to do as much as that, don't you?

In addition, Arnoggia and Deputy Gunnar have also left for the city of Lellis to report the incident to the City Council of Lellis.

And I was crossing the phantom horse created by the spell and going down the mountain road to the fort.

The road from the beginning remains collapsed by meteorites, but the intermediate road has been completely maintained because the Knights have been operating around the fort for some time and is comfortable on the road.

"... only for two nights! If you really stay two nights, you'll be heading to the city of Lellis!?"

"I said I know... You're suspicious, too."

By the way, she didn't have a horse, so she's sitting behind a phantom horse.

"... if there is no such thing as a ghost or a bandit, it feels really good to go on horseback through nature like this"

Green trees in the slightly stronger sun in the early summer, fresh breezes. Shut up, though, and manipulate the horse with a beautiful woman in the back. These past few days, I've been in Japan, and I can live a life of envy and teething.

"Oh, I see it. My Jeetaias Castle."

I could see a fort named Gio's country of origin (the setting).

Until the other day, it was used by the Knights, and it was serviced and cleaned in every corner to hand it over to me, and it looks considerably more luxurious and robust than the first impression.

Collect mountain vegetables and mushrooms in untouched forests, real nature during the day. They'll catch fish in the gorge, set traps and catch beasts, too. The land is so rotten that it is good to cultivate vegetable gardens.

Read on the top floor of the main tower when it rains. This is what a clear rain reading is all about.

At night you will experience tranquility that has no connection to the hustle and bustle of the town.

Make evenings with ingredients collected during the day. I'm not sure about cooking, but what, it's a guy's hand cooking.

Take a leisurely bath looking up at the real starry sky, never to be seen in modern Japan. The bath just pours water in the barrel, but one of these days I want to dig it in the hot spring as well.

"Ooh..."

Exactly what older men in the world yearn for. Feel comfortable. Isn't that the ultimate slow life!

There is no change in the policy of creating replicas of spell documents to gather information on the dark, and if, for example, a ghost or 'nest' were to appear somewhere, we would have to rush...

You won't be punished for pursuing personal pleasure for a bit.

I have let my phantom horse walk relaxed, so it was near dusk when I left Whitesword Castle in the early morning to arrive.

In the meantime, to make it dinner, I made Crawla wait in the hall and I headed to the kitchen in the residence building.

Although limited, there are certain magic items that create meals, such a devious means is wild.

"Well, we need to light the fireplace first."

I took the firestone out of my backpack.

"? You just have to hit this here for now, I'm sure"

Countless tools I've used in TRPG, but of course this is the first time I've actually lit a fire with this. Well, in the last few days, I've been watching adventurers and knights set fire to it when they were camping, so I'll figure it out.

"I said!?"

I stoned my fingernails out of my mind.

"Wow... hey..."

Maybe the pain in my nails brought me back a little sanity.

If you look around the kitchen, there was no refrigerator, stove or cooker you were once used to seeing in Japan.

"Is that it? Isn't this pretty tough?
