After deciding to live in the two-story house near Andre’s house, I spent two days solidifying the image of the renovation and asked the carpenter of the Howling village to take care of it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Though I said all that, the house’s original condition is still good and wide enough so it doesn’t need that big of a renovation.
It was just a little bit of repair here and there, such as making the kitchen wider so I could enjoy cooking, making an entranceway to take off your shoes, or making a subtle change to the room's layout.
I want to live in that house as soon as possible so when I paid them more than the amount of money they offered, they said that they promised it would be done within two weeks.
However, not being able to live in that house for two weeks is a long time. Perhaps I’ve been looking forward to it so much that I feel anxious waiting for two weeks.
I want to quickly move to that house and live a relaxing life. But, I can’t rush them any more than this and I can’t help them with tasks that require their craftmanship. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
There’s no other choice but to wait quietly here.
No, let’s change my way of thinking now. I should start preparing furniture for my new house which will be completed in two weeks.
It would be silly of me if my new house had no furniture and looked dreary. I should probably adjust my work so I can spend it leisurely in two weeks and prepare for daily necessities like the furniture and tablewares for the house.
Now that it’s decided, I can’t help but look forward to the two weeks that seemed boring before. If anything, it may not be enough time considering the preparation that must be done.
「Kureto, you’re free now that you’ve done asking for the remodeling, right? Do you want to go fishing with me?」
As I was thinking of such things, Andre invited me to go fishing.
「I’m sorry, I am going to prepare the furniture for my new home so I’m going back to the royal capital now」
I’m really tempted to do some fishing leisurely, but I need to prepare first. I desperately use my reasons to refuse the invitation.
「Is that so. I thought that I was going to be able to go fishing at the mountain stream easily now that I had Kureto with me」
Andre looks disappointed as he moves his hand just like throwing a fishing rod.
「Ahaha, I can’t go to a place I have not been to with my magic」
「Is that so? Then, let’s go to the mountain stream next time so we can go there whenever we want」
「Yes, definitely!」
If I go there then I want to do it in a relaxed manner after I’ve done with everything.
After telling Stella and Nina that I’m going back to the royal capital, I teleport to the inn at the royal capital - that is also my base - from Howling village.
I returned to the luxurious inn that was my base in the royal capital from Howling village in an instant.
「First of all, I guess I’ll look for tables and chairs」
It’s important to decide on the large furniture first after all. Since I know the size of the furniture in the room, I don’t need to worry about the size. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
As I immediately left the inn to go to the furniture store, I was suddenly called by someone.
「……Kureto-san」
「Hm? Oh isn’t this Rodney? What are you doing in this kind of place?」
When I turned around, I saw the employee of Emilio’s Company - the boy, Rodney - sitting on a chair in the lobby.
Rodney was shy at first, by after a few months of being acquainted it seems he got used to me and now there is no problem talking with me.
I’ve also almost never seen him talk with other employees of the company so it looks like his shyness is still going strong though.
Don’t tell me, he’s been waiting here all long just to wait for me to appear?
「Emilio told me to ask you to go to the office when I found you」
「Emilio did? Is there an urgent work or something?」
「I don’t know about that」
Rodney shook his head when I asked.
Oh well, it will be faster for me to just teleport there instead of asking for the details.
「Understood. I’m going now, do you also want to come Rodney?」
After confirming that Rodney nodded, I used group teleport to teleport to Emilio’s office.
Then the scenery changed from the luxurious inn’s lobby to the company’s office.
There, I saw Emilio doing paperwork at the office’s table today as well.
As soon as Emilio saw us, he let out a deep sigh.
「Good grief, you’re finally back」
「Didn’t I already tell you that I’m going absent for a while?」
「It’s because it’s Kureto we’re talking about so I thought you would immediately show up again after a day had passed」
「Ahー, I didn’t tell you how many days I would be gone in specific, guess it’s also my fault..」
Until now there have been times when I was absent due to personal reasons. However, I usually drop by the company within a day or two. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I hadn’t shown up for three days straight this time so Emilio would probably be surprised at that.
「So is there some kind of urgent business to take care of?」
「No, there’s nothing like that. It’s just that you haven’t shown yourself for three days so I was worried. This time’s business was longer than usual, wasn’t it? What were you doing?」
Hm, he’s probably curious why I hadn’t been in the royal capital for so long. Also what I’m going to do from now on also has something to do with work so I should explain it properly.
「I went to Howling village」
「That was the place where Kureto stopped by one for your delivery request, right? So you went there to renew an old friendship or something?」
「Yeah, it was fun. I also have something to discuss with you, Emilio. It’s about my life from now on」
「I’m absolutely curious now」
He put aside the papers he was holding to the edge of the table and looked at me with great interest.
I told him about my plan to live in two different locations, the royal capital, and Howling village.
「……I told you that you should think about your future from now on, but I never expected you to start living in two different locations」
After he finished listening to what I wanted to do, Emilio muttered as if he deflated.
「But, that certainly sounds nice. Living a balanced life between the capital and the countryside seemed like something that only Kureto - who can use teleport - could do. Working in the capital, then playing and relaxing in the countryside. It’s really a balanced lifestyle」
「Yeah, it was always my dream to have a huge house in the countryside and live leisurely since a long time ago. Besides, Howling village is a good place and there are a lot of kind people there」
「Is that so. Then I will respect your decision since you have decided to do so. I was just surprised by the decision that went beyond my expectations though」
「I don’t intend to devote my life to the company, but I would still like to work in the company in the future」
「Hearing that makes me relieved. Our company has only just grown and there are some businesses we can’t do without Kureto」
Emilio leaned back on the back of his chair looking relieved. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Although we already have the personal connections and the market, we still don’t have that wide of a reach.
There’s also goods that will allow us to get a large profit by procuring them cheaply with teleport and to begin with, there are also rare items you can get without me. Those kinds of items are usually things nobles, wealthy merchants, or religious figures appreciated, so we would be in trouble if we couldn’t get them.
「And so, Kureto. It’s a different topic but if you’re going to have to base to live then it would be better to have a house even in the royal capital, right?」
「I don’t mind staying at the inn while I’m at the royal capital though――」
「Naaーh, Kureto. If you’re going to live in two locations then you should also have a house in the royal capital, you know!」
「O, ooh. That’s true, I guess. But, why is Emilio so enthusiastic about it?」
I’m already quite familiar with living at the inn so it’s fine for me to stay just like my current situation, but since it’s living in two different locations then if possible it would be better to also have a house here. While I can understand the reasoning behind it, the intention behind Emilio’s suggestion is unclear.
「I may not know when Kureto will return if you live at the inn, y’see. If I continue to ask Rodney to stand by and wait for Kureto like this time then it would make the people at the inn hate him. But, it wouldn’t be a problem no matter how long he’s waiting at Kureto’s house, right? Also, you can hire a servant and ask that servant to leave you a message
「That’s certainly true……」
It’s also a hassle to leave a message each time I want to go somewhere. What Emilio said have some truth in them.
「But, isn’t it too much to hire a servant for me?」
As a former corporate slave with petty bourgeois sensitivity, I’m not used to having a higher position than someone else.
Having a servant in your house, I mean, how bourgeois can you get?
「Then, will Kureto be able to keep the house in the royal capital and Howling village clean? It is difficult to maintain and manage two houses, you know? You will be too busy to do housework to relax, right 」
「You’re quite right about that‥‥」
I don’t have to work long hours just like when I was working in a company in my previous world so I will have some more free time, but it will definitely require much effort to maintain two houses by myself.
「That’s why, it would be best for Kureto to also have a house here and hire servants!」
I understand what Emilio was trying to say, but it is still hard to swallow. There must be some kind of intention behind it for him to recommend it this far.
「……you, you were thinking of using my house or making it as temporary storage for the company’s goods while I’m not here, you were thinking of it such a good idea, weren’t you?」
When I guessed the current troubles the company is facing currently, Emilio abruptly stopped moving as if in surprise.
「Aah, that’s right! But, it’s fine, right? I will use my connections to buy the property at a cheap price and arrange for some servants to take care of the house!」
It somehow feels refreshing when he becomes this unabashed. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
