CH 223

“Wow!　This is a great house …… W-We’re going to live here?”

“As an Irving’s, I couldn’t let my girlfriend live in a pathetic house, after all.”

However, I was quite annoyed with him when he told me that I didn’t have any money from looking at me, so I bought a detached house with a garden for two million beryl right away.

I’ve never been one to let my feelings get in the way of something like this, but since Makina is here, I just had to look good …… To be honest, I’m surprised I feel this way about myself.

It’s a feeling I never had in my previous life.

Now that we have that out of the way, let’s take a look at the house in front of us.

The large yard is still spacious even with two horses and a carriage, and even though it’s a one-story house, it has a living room, a room for me and Makina, and a guest room.

The bathroom and toilet were of course fully equipped, and we were able to fulfill Makina’s wishes for the kitchen.

“Hehe, do you like it?”

“Yeah, it’s a bit far from the shopping district, but it’s nice if I just think of it as a walkway.”

“Yeah, my parents had a single-family house, but this one is really nice and clean ……”

I took the key from Norma, smiling at Makina’s enraptured face as she looked at my appearance. 

“I’ve bought it, so I can put stables in the yard, right?”

“‘Of course, yes! It belongs to Lars-sama, so you can do whatever you want with it! In fact, if you need anything, please feel free to ask.”

He said this with the same scruffy, money mark in his eyes as ever. He’s not like the merchants I know.

“OK, I’ll give you a call if I need any help. I’m starving that I can’t take it anymore.”

“Very well, sir. Well then, I’ll leave you to it …… Please make yourself at home.”

Then Norma bowed reverently, walked out into the street and walked away.

“Woohoooo, Yaaaay! I’ll have a feast today!”

I heard him shouting a little further away, and we looked at each other and pouted.

“I can’t stand it when people have different attitudes, but if he’s that happy, I guess it’s okay.”

“Maybe he hasn’t been selling well lately. Ah, we should give water to the horses.”

“Yeah, we have a bucket, so I’ll fill it. I wonder if we can leave the horses like this? If we had a farm or something, I’d let them go.”

“It’s true that it’s too narrow for two horses …… Let’s think about it for now. We’ll need it when we’re moving for a request, after all. “

I nodded at Makina’s suggestion. I don’t mind the cost of feeding the horses, but I’m worried that the horses will get stressed out because it’s not big enough for them to run around.

There was no need to hurry to any decision, so we left the horses to watch the house and went into town.

We went along the shopping street, looking around for a suitable place to finally have lunch.

“I’ve only eaten at home when I was in Gust territory, so I’m not used to this.”

“I think I was taken to a restaurant for my birthday? Lars can’t help it because it’s more luxurious at your home. Hmm, how about that restaurant?”

She takes my hand and points to a pasta restaurant. The wooden building was quite stylish and looked like the type of place a girl would like.

“My stomach is at its limits, so let’s go there. We can go to the other restaurants another day.”

“That’s what I’m talking about!”

“Ah, don’t pull me!”

I run together with Makina in a hurry, who runs off quickly.

The store in question had a nice atmosphere with the smell of wood.

I ordered a set of pasta dish, a fresh salad and corn soup.

I ordered a pasta dish with garlic and red pepper, like a peperoncino. Makina had a pasta with mushrooms in a cream sauce.

“It was delicious!”

“Oh, I’d love to try some of the other dishes.”

On the way home, I bought some food for the horses, followed by a few household items such as sundries and bedding, and then headed back home.

I’m glad that I’ll be able to sleep in a bed today instead of camping.

“Come on, it’s lunchtime for you guys.”

“Neigh!”

We fed the horses, who were already more relaxed than we were, and sat down on the wooden chairs in the yard to spend some time together.

“Two horses are quite expensive, I wonder if it was a good idea to get it ……?”

“If I wanted to return it, we’d have to go back, and I think that’s what Luciel and the others were planning to do.”

I think it’s a gift from Sorio-san and an apology from him.

“Fuah ……”

“Lars, you look sleepy?”

I’ve been fighting for the past few days, so I’m starting to feel sleepy now that I’m taking it easy.

“I bought a new futon, so I’m going to take a nap.”

“I’ll go get it then, Lars can wait.”

I nodded, rubbing my heavy eyelids, and walked into the house from the garden, where Makina was humming a tune as she walked into my assigned room.

When she came back, she said to me.

“C-Can I sleep with you too……? I’ve been with Basleigh-sensei and the others lately, so I haven’t been able to replenish my Lars energy ……”

“La-Lars energy?”

Makina blushes and says a word I don’t know, then takes my arm and walks away.

“H-Hey, Makina ……”

“I’m just going to sleep next to you! Please!”

I nodded my head, thinking that it was okay because I was sleepy too, and then Makina’s face lit up.

“Kyaaaaah!?”

In an instant, her face was colored with astonishment.

I woke up at once, turned around, and looked at the destination of Makina’s gaze…

“Gununu …… so the reason you left me behind was so that you two could flirt, huh ……!”

“Basleigh-sensei!?”

The one that stuck to the window was, without a doubt, Basleigh-sensei herself ……

There’s not much time, so there’s no Afterword Theater.

“What did you say!?”
