"Mmm... is that it?

I desperately meet the firestone, but although the sparkling stuff splashes, it never looks like it's going to ignite the firewood.

"No, well. Instead of lighting firewood all of a sudden, something more burnable... newspaper or not..."

Yeah, there's no way there is.

"... yeah. I knew it was less liberal than Japan..."

I've lived alone for decades, so I thought I could do the whole chores and cook... That was only a story in an environment called Modern Japan. Plus, when I stayed here before, Maura and the Knights' servants were doing household chores like eating, bathing and laundry.

There are no supermarkets or convenience stores in this world (Sedia) lined with fresh vegetables and meat.... Especially since there are no humans around this castle in the first place...

Forget that, I'm ashamed of myself for thinking I could live alone.

Let's just chill out and sort out the situation in this castle in our heads. As far as we can confirm now, this is what happens to the equipment.

Main Tower

Underground floor warehouse, armory, brewery

Ground floor hall (view room, dining room and)

Second floor, command room, information room.

Third floor bedroom, study, treasure trove

rooftop watchtower

Residential building (two floors)

Five private rooms for knights.

Two small squire rooms.

Two large rooms for soldiers.

Three servant rooms.

Kitchen

Small cafeteria

Grocery, warehouse (underground)

Bedding, garment hall

Prison (adjacent to residential building)

In the courtyard

Stables, livestock huts, chicken coops

Well (Laundry)

Light Workshop

Castle Gate, Defense Tower

When the Knights were stationed, they were exceptionally over-capable, but on a scale that could hold roughly 50 knights, soldiers and servants.

Can you manage buildings of this size by yourself, like cleaning and repairs? Answer, I can't. … though I should spend some months making demonic creature squire or something.

Funny, the Great Wizard or the Great Sage pulling alone on the orphan tower was doing all the cleaning and laundry alone?

... Now it was careless of you to get a castle.

"... but in the meantime, we have to do something about tonight's meal..."

I reflected, but nothing has changed. It looks more like a few steps of killing landscape than it did when I walked in (because of my mind, of course) and whine looking at the kitchen.

The backpack also contained dried meat and fruit dried, beans and bread as a preserved meal, as per Geo's character sheet. In the meantime, I've arranged those ingredients on the table for cooking.

"What am I going to do with this...?

Cut and cook meat, I can't think of any more cooking methods. But I don't get the fire. Instead of a fireplace, there are spells that flutter every kitchen, but spells that were convenient to ignite firewood weren't even in the spells.

All we have to do is cut it up and eat it as it is...

I don't know, this is... How have you been since you came to this world, Sedia? I'm getting really pitiful.

"... I thought this would happen."

As I was on my way, I heard a crawler shouting from the kitchen entrance. Well, it would be natural to be frightened.

"Ha... Thanks a little... the man's lair seemed to have a high hurdle"

"Safe house?... I didn't think you could cook, but you did."

"Embarrassing...... But when this happens, I'm glad you followed me."

"? What do you mean?

"No, I still don't want women to be more dependable in times like this," he said. Well, I'm sorry, but I was hoping you could make something. "

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

To conclude, I decided to do something with my magic item for dinner that day.

Return to the hall of the main tower and spread a single tablecloth on the table. "Dinner, for two. Warm stuff," he said when he uttered the command word, showing the effect of the magic item "Dinner Cross".

First, dishes and bowls, glasses, knives and forks, and spoons appeared on the cross for two, and a dish appeared on that dish that gave them hot air. Thick steak and matching salad on a plate, corn soup in a bowl and wine in a glass.

In the fireplace, Crawla set me on fire with a little fire arrow flying magic.

"... is this a magically made item?

"Hmmm......"

A magic item that can serve meals for up to four people three times a day. I didn't want to use this only this time, but such detention doesn't mean anything to me before I'm hungry. Thank you for pinching the table.

"... I don't think it tastes like a magic item."

"Thanks for that."

Crawla expressed her appreciation while eating her steak elegantly with a knife and fork. You didn't like the way I replied raw, raising a shapely eyebrow.

"You could make similar items in magic, right? Nevertheless... why didn't you use this item from the beginning?

I know that for myself.

"... Sometimes a man wants to do something for nothing..."

"You're definitely wasting no more time."

"... right. We need to find out about the Dark One."

I don't know about me if I try to be a crawler. I'm dressed all the time, so I should take one or two of my dislikes spoiled. But what followed was an unexpected word.

"Nevertheless, I'm sure I was relieved to see this."

"Safe?"

Crawla, leaning her wine glass and white-throated, gave her a slightly gentle grin.

"To you, I (I) am the heroes... Since we met, you've been too heroic."

"... what do you mean?

"Sounds like a hero, you mean you've only done the right thing (...). Being too right can hurt people sometimes… yourself and others"

There was a mankind level threat called the Dark One, and I had the power to counter it. That's why I was trying to do the right thing...

"Anyway, this time your behavior was certainly futile and pointless. That's what we call 'humanity' in this world."

……

Hey, I didn't expect you to learn your life lessons from a younger girl even 20 years old......

For a moment, I got hung up.

"As a magician, Countess. I (I) will advise you, you need at least three servants and a family order to keep this castle inhabitable. I went to the city of Lellis. Why don't you look?

Can we learn not only the lessons of life but also the design of life......

"Of course, before you do, you will appear in the Mage's Guild, won't you?

"Oh, yes."
