Renovated House
「Kureto-sama, what is the plan for today?」
「The house in Howling village should have finished its renovation so I will head there. I will not return to the royal capital for three days for the time being」
It’s been a little over a week since I moved from the inn to my mansion in the royal capital. During that time, I’ve been gathering furniture, tableware, and other daily necessities to make my life in Howling village more comfortable, and sometimes I went to the company to do some business. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I couldn’t get used to the maids at first, but as time passed, I didn’t feel strange and felt less uncomfortable. They will help immediately if there’s a problem, Elza has been preparing everything ahead so that it feels like she has a mind-reading ability or something so I have been able to spend an incredibly comfortable time.
Today marks the second week of the completion.
The renovation of my house in Howling village should’ve finished by now so I decided to head to Howling village today.
This is the beginning of my real two-based life.
「I’ve already told Emilio about this, but just in case please tell him again」
「Certainly」
「I will return to this mansion in three days, so until then please take care of this place」
「Yes, please take care」
I teleported to the Howling village while Elza politely lowered her head as she sent me off.
Then, the scenery changes to that of the front of my house from the mansion’s living room.
「Oooh, it became a little different from before!」
When I looked at my house, the roof and walls were painted anew and have now become pretty. There is a small fence around the house and there was also a small garden at the back.
I went inside the house while excited at the version upgrade of the exterior appearance....
「Ah, that’s right. I didn’t have the key」
They also changed the door lock when they renovated the entranceway and door.
And I haven’t received the new key yet.
Do I have to go all the way to the carpenter-san’s house to get the key.......?
I wanted to see the interior quickly but it was such a hassle. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Ahー! It’s Kureto!」
While I was thinking of such things, Nina waved her hand at me from a little bit of distance away.
Although Andre’s house is a little distance away and is my neighbor, we have a good view of each other’s house since there are no other obstacles between our houses.
I didn’t feel any discomfort at all even when Nina noticed me. There is something with this sense of closeness that feels somewhat comforting, which couldn’t be found in the royal capital.
「You new house key! Is with meー! I’ll come and get it for you! 」
「Ooh, really? That’s helpful!」
Apparently they noticed that I - as the house owner - was not in the village so they gave it to my friend, Andre. Actually, I didn’t know where the carpenter-san’s lived so their consideration was really great.
After waiting for a while, Nina returned to her house and came bringing the key to me.
「Here you go! New keys!」
「Thank you, Nina!」
「Hey hey, can I also see your new house?」
After receiving the key, Nina asked me that with upturned eyes.
「Aah, of course. Nina will be my first guest」
「Yay! I’m the first guest!」
And when I readily gave her permission to go with me, Nina was overjoyed.
If I had a child, would they become this cute, I wonder? Until very recently, I thought that I had no interest in romantic affairs, but I wonder if the day will come when I want to build a family.
……well, there are no women I’m interested in right now and my current priority is to fully enjoy my two-based life so it might still take a while before that happens.
Rather than that, it’s now time for the new house.
After inserting the new key and opening the door. A slightly larger entranceway bigger than a normal house greeted us.
「Uwaaー, it’s a beautiful houseー」
「Wait Nina」
「Eh? What is it?」
Nina was about to casually enter and aimlessly around the house as she was captivated by the beauty of the new house, but I stopped her. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Shoes are not allowed in the house」
「No shoes allowed?」
「Right. You take off your shoes when you enter and change into this thing called slippers which are like light sandals」
I take out the slippers I asked the craftsman in the royal capital to make from my subspace.
As expected, it makes me unable to calm down when someone enters my house with their shoes on.
The mansion at the royal capital was designed to still function while wearing shoes indoors and there are maids who will clean them. Besides, the royal capital is basically stone-paved so your shoes won’t get dirty easily.
However, the roads in Howling village are full of dirt and grass field roads. So the dirtiness when you enter the house while wearing shoes couldn’t be compared to the mansion in the royal capital.
So, I asked them to make a space for properly taking off their shoes and steps to prevent dust and dirt from entering the house. This is one of the major renovations of this house.
「Is this the custom in the royal capital?」
「No, this is just me being particular」
「Heeー, Kureto, you’re a bit strange」
Nina then takes off her shoes and wears the slippers.
I know that she didn’t have any particular intention but when such a child honestly said that to me I couldn’t help feeling surprised.
I also took off my shoes and changed into slippers while smiling wryly.
「Ah! But, this slippers-thing is so comfortable!」
However, Nina turned around and said that in joy, perhaps she realized the comfort of wearing slippers after a short walk with them.
「Right? It’s comfortable to wear since it’s not fastened tight like shoes and it won’t make the floor dirty when you step inside」
「Amazing. I also want to wear slippers in my house」
Nina and I proceeded deeper into the entranceway while laughing together.
The first place we entered was the living room, which is also attached to the kitchen.
Originally, this place was separated from the kitchen, but I had the wall knocked down to create a space for living.
Thanks to that the living room appears to look very spacious.
「Waaー, the kitchen is so spacious」
「You won’t feel like cooking at all if the kitchen is small. The kitchen is also the point I’m particular about」
I also plan to make my own meals and enjoy it in this countryside.
I lived in a 1K apartment with only one stove, I hated the kitchen because it’s hard to find a place to store the plates and seasonings. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
So as if to vent my frustration, I make the kitchen in this house spacious.
「Can Kureto cook?」
Nina asks with a puzzled look on her face.
「Yeah, I’ve been living alone after all. I can make something decent」
「Heeー, it’s amazing you can cook even though you’re a man!」
The reason why Nina says something like that is because there are few men who cook in this world.
And I was among those rare guys.
「Thank you. Let’s cook together when we have the time」
「Really!?」
「Cooking and eating together.....it was made spacious so you can do that. Even if I’m not home, Nina and Stella can just come here and cook without asking me」
To be able to experience that kind of family-like activity. I was thinking I wanted to do to connect with people.
I had no family in my previous life, no significant other I’m in a deep relationship with, or any close friends. That’s why in this other world’s Howling village, I want to build a warm relationship that I couldn’t build in my previous life.
Besides, it would be a shame to let the house rot when I’m here.
Even people who lived a two-based lifestyle in my previous life rented their house to others when they were not living there. So I thought of imitating that way of managing things.
It might also be a good idea to use it when there’s a small gathering or party.
「We’ll definitely do it I will tell okaasan about this!」
「Yeah」
After that, I checked every corner of the house like the back yard, vacant rooms, the bedroom on the second floor, and the storage room.
The carpenter did a magnificent job and the results were satisfactory. I have no complaints whatsoever.
I can’t be compared with the mansion in the royal capital in terms of size and spaciousness and there are no servants here, but this is unmistakably my home.
If anything, it’s sized to suit my height and that might be the reason why I can strongly feel that this house feels like home. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
