Chapter 236: The Usual Scene
「It’s done」
Since I’m done with the interior, I said that and open the door, then everyone enters the house in succession.
「Haaー, even the entrance is so elaborate. There is even a shoe rack where you can carefully put your shoes in」
Mina flung open the shoe rack while being impressed by it.
In the end, the entrance will change with or without the existence of a shoe rack. Furthermore, I also try to make a depression on the ground of the entrance for dirt scrapping, and I also add proper steps.
Just when I was proud to hear Mina talking about it, Nord-tousan ask me.
「Al, can we enter with our shoes on?」
「It’s pretty much smooth and clean that you won’t get dirty even if you walk inside with your socks on, you know?」
I can’t say that it’s as smooth as a marble, but dirt and sand won’t get stuck on your feet if you just walk a little bit.
「……just how much magic power did you put into it」
Elna-kaasan said with astonishment in her voice as she touch the floor with her hand.
As for me, I still want to lie down inside the house. Even back in the mansion, I was either wearing slippers or barefoot, but I think I want to walk around with my bare feet indoors.
「It’s fine even if you take off your shoes here!」
Perhaps Eleonora-neesan likes to take off her shoes since she immediately took them off and enter from the entrance.
Looking at that, everyone else - who had been checking on the floor - also took off their shoes and enters in succession.
「On the first floor, there is a living room, kitchen, dressing room, storage room, bathroom, and changing room, on the second floor, are your room and vacant rooms. Well, the structure is similar to the mansion overall」
I roughly explain the layout of the palace to them, but everyone is opening doors to the rooms and looking inside as they please.
Seeing those movements, it feels just like when the customers are having a preliminary inspection of a house with a realtor.
Oh well, they won’t understand the layout of the house with just words alone as the impression that they will receive will be different from reality.
Knowing full well of that fact, I walk around the place without worrying over their action in particular.
If, by any chance, they raise a complaint, then I’ll try to meet their expectation as much as I can.
「Kuh! Even though it is just a storage room, it’s bigger than my parent’s living room! This is unreasonable!」
Mina cried pitifully, then Row-san gently pats her shoulder and shake his head.
That movement of his head is probably a sign for her to give up, isn’t it?
「The kitchen and living room are placed together, huh」
「We won’t make lavish dishes, so I made it so that we can stay comfortably」
We’re not going to cook full-scale dishes like when we’re in the mansion since we’re currently on a trip. And since we’re only going to just make simple dishes, then it will be convenient in various ways if the kitchen and living room are attached together.
「Chairs, tables, there’s also tableware. This is already no different than being in the mansion, isn’t it」
「There’s no way it’s like that, Nord-tousan. The chairs and sofa are hard, and even the color is dark」
There are a lot of amazing chairs and a sofa back home, there are also carpets laid out with beautiful color, and the decorations are also tasteful.
It’s going to make the mansion look pathetic if you compare it with this house that was made in a day.
「……Al’s way of thinking is the cause for your strange magic power, aren’t they? I think this much is enough for me」
Nord-tousan nodded - as if to say that he agree with me - when he heard what I said.
I think it’s only natural if you have such a wonderful thing as magic, and use that to satisfy your own desire. I plan to keep improving my magic skill from now on in order to spend my time comfortably.
「It makes you want to have a slime cushion even more, right I wonder if there are slimes nearby?」
「Let’s look for them while we’re doing our rounds」
「Right」
Elna-kaasan firmly nods after hearing my suggestion.
It’s troublesome to make an enemy of Elna-kaasan, but I like her at this kind of time when we can get along really well.
「I would also like to suggest something, I wonder if we can pack the slime in a bigger leather? So it’s not pillow-sized, I want a bigger size cushion. I think it will feel so much better if you sleep while hugging it tightly」
「I was also thinking about that too! But, it’s hard to make it with one slime, and putting several slimes inside will make it tiresome to control. That’s why it might be possible to have one if we use the higher rank Big Slime, what do you think?」
When I ask her that, Elna-kaasan hemmed and hawed, seeming to consider it.
「……right. There will not be any problem when you consider the size of a Big Slime, but I’m worried about the leather. There are a lot of other Big slimes with less aggressive tendencies and gentle dispositions but it’s strong in terms of strength」
As expected from the former adventurer, Elna-kaasan. She looks to have solid knowledge regarding Big slimes.
「Mumumu, if that’s the case then we going to need something more durable than the leather we currently use 」
Seems like we need to consider Slime hug pillow a little more to make it happen.
I have to research them again together with Tori.
「Hey Al! Why is my room the only one slightly smaller than the other room!?」
Just when I was pondering about the matter regarding the Slime hug pillow, Eleonora-neesan noisily come down from the second floor.
「Ahー, it just gets smaller at the top due to the interior of the house. You better accept it」
「Even though there are more vacant rooms, why is my room the only place smaller than the others!」
I have no excuses. It was just harassment for making fun of My Home. No more, no less.
「It’s just for us to sleep anyway, so you don’t have to worry about it that much」
「Then, switch rooms with me」
「No way」
Then Eleonora-neesan makes a slightly annoyed face when I flatly deny her.
Fufufu, the whole house was made with my Earth magic.
In other words, you could say that everything in this house is under my control. Whether each person can spend their time comfortably is decided by my decision.
「There is even a study room besides all the rooms inside」
As was ignore the seemingly displeased look from Eleonora-neesan, Sylvio-niisan also come down from the second floor and told me that, maybe he had finished looking around the place.
「Un, you can read books to your heart’s content」
「But it only has the shape of a book and can not be opened」
「You’re right. But it’s going to become a book if you shave off the surface of the page and make it into the form of characters, you know」
「You can even do that?」
When I casually say something that I came up with, Sylvio-niisan really gets into it.
「Well, it’s a detailed work so I think it’s going to take some time since there are a lot of characters」
「It’s fine if it’s something like a picture book at first, please try making it! I, I want to read a book made with Earth magic!」
「Okay. I’ll try making it in my spare time」
Guess I will be able to kill some time by making a picture book using Earth magic and Slime hug pillow on our way then.
I really like this kind of work where there is no deadline and can be finished when I feel like it. I don’t have to be scared by the schedule, unlike a job, so I can spend my time without me keep worrying about it.
I made a sofa using Earth magic and throw myself on it while thinking about such things.
It’s not as soft as the one in the mansion, but there is a slime cushion under my head so it’s more comfortable than without one.
「Now then, let’s prepare for our dinner」
As I was lazying around just like that, Nord-tousan claps his hand *pan* and says that.
「Already? We still have some time since Al made this house, so it’s fine if don’t have to hurry that much, right?」
「I would also like to take a break a little」
I agree with Elna-kaasan’s words so I also speak up.
Anyhow, we can also ensure about lighting with the non-attributed magic Light even if it’s getting dark and we even have Light magic tools so it’s gonna be fine.
We don’t have to draw water since we can use magic to get water and we can even use magic to light a fire.
As for the things we need to do immediately, it’s just checking our surroundings and being on guard for monsters, right?
Nonetheless, I don’t think we won’t be able to overlook any signs of approaching monsters with this kind of lineup we have here.
「That’s true. Then, let’s take it easy for a while」
Nord-tousan smiled - as if saying ‘it couldn’t be helped’ - then he relaxed his shoulder and sat in the chair next to Elna-kaasan.
Immediately after that, Elna-kaasan happily loosened up her expression.
Somehow, Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan are weak when one of them is involved, huh? I felt that I will get rejected if I was the only person suggesting it.
「Mina, could you brew some tea for me? And also bring the cookies we brought」
「Me tooー」
「I alsoー」
「Me too」
「Understood! I will prepare it right away!」
Since everyone wanted to have some tea and cookies, Mina reply energetically and head outside to get the tea set from the carriage.
「Ahaha, I feel like we’re not on a trip at all. It’s like we’re back home somehow」
「……sorry? Even though you’ve been looking forward to sleeping outdoors」
「It’s fine. This is fine because this is also a valuable experience and fun in its own way」
I began to feel sorry looking at Sylvio-niisan - who sits next to me - when he smiled wryly and said that.
