Chapter 45: 45 Episode 45 "The house I got had a problem with water.".txt

Well, let me show you home.

Letitia brushed back her blue hair and giggled.

Then she walked out at the front of us.

We came here to receive Leticia's villa.

Of course, she's the only one who knows where it is.

So we wander after Leticia, waving our arms in the air.

The streets are crowded with people. Maybe it's because it's a maritime trade city, but there are all kinds of people, from humans to elves to dwarves. There are humans, elves, dwarves, beastmen and dark elves. Their clothes, too, look like kimonos from my world and are as fluffy as a dress from a video game. There's even a half-naked, burly, tattooed ani-chan walking around. It's a bit hot, probably because of the warm breeze coming from the ocean. Both Cecil and Rita are wiping sweat off their foreheads. Aine has a cool look on her face, but she doesn't show it too much.

'Look, Nagi-sama. I'm getting ready for the festival!''

Cecil pointed to a huge dragon ornament.

A blue dragon on the roofs of the buildings that lined the main street. Made of leather. Just like Iris said, it has a rugged head with eight horns. Their eyes are small and half-closed. Maybe it degenerated because it lives at the bottom of the sea.

Is that the doll from "Sea Dragon Kerkator"?

If you look closely, there are many similar ornaments in the town. They were dolls, billboards with illustrations on them, and paper balloons in the shape of a sea dragon. Some shops sold "sea dragon masks". The mask covers the upper half of the face and has horns and a hole in the eye.

Around the mask are papers celebrating the Festival of the Sea Dragon.

The date is seven days from now.

It is said to be held on the night when the moon is brightest.

In the middle of the town where the festival is in full swing, we start talking in secret...

If it's known that Iris was almost kidnapped before the ...... festival, there's going to be a big deal. ......

Was it supposed to be ...... where the ...... corps of soldiers gave the maidens a grand welcome ......?

...... The fluffers attacked us, but the regular soldiers are supposed to have beaten us to it. ......

...... means that Nay-kun played a cool and big role, which means it's a secret between Aine and the others. ......

""Right?"

The three of us chanting together. Is that okay?

But, well, it's true that preventing the kidnapping of Iris is officially a credit to the regular soldiers.

It's not like we can take pictures in this world, nor can we spread eyewitness accounts on social media. All that is circulated are rumors from adventurers and townspeople. Unless the Ilgafa Lordship House approves, there's no way to confirm it. It's called information control in the fantasy world. That's better for us over here, though.

"But it's a busy place. Harbor town.

As we walked, I was naturally observing the town.

I've heard that a place where things and people gather is booming, but this place is amazing. There's a huge difference in the number of people and things here. Maybe it's because of the festival.

...... I think I'll be able to work more efficiently here.

The money I have on hand, plus the reward I got from Iris. It's not enough for me to live reasonably well, but it's not enough for me to live without working. It's a good idea to make use of your skills, which means you'll have to work a little bit, which means you'll either be an adventurer or a ...... merchant.

Once we're settled in the villa, we can show up at the adventurer's guild.

It's not dangerous, easy, lucrative and white work. Good luck with that: .......

'We're here. This is your home, starting today!

Before we knew it, we were standing in front of a house.

In front of us is an iron gate. It's sealed with a locked chain.

The unkempt garden is full of weeds, but it is surprisingly large.

The main body of the building is two stories made of bricks, with ivy clinging to the walls. It looks surprisingly old. Judging from the number of windows, the room is - the fourth room - the fourth room of the first two.

It's located on a hilltop in Irgapha. You have a great view. Very nice. You can even see the sea.

Me, Cecil, Rita and Aine looked around.

Maybe it's for protection from the wind, or maybe there are a lot of trees around. It's a small forest.

There are not many buildings.

The closest house is just a huge mansion on the other side of the forest, surrounded by a tall wall.

Behind the wall are the barracks, where the silver soldiers are sucked in one by one.

To put it bluntly, it was the Ilgafa lord house.

To put it plainly, it was Iris' house.

It was surprisingly neighborly.

''Come on, you don't have to be shy. I mean, it's a bit old, but it shouldn't be too much trouble to live in.

...... You know what, Letitia?

Oh, Mr. Nagi. Are you unhappy?

...... Isn't this a prime location?

I don't like being asked about the location. It's my mother's family's summer home.

You're a baronet, aren't you, Letitia?

Yes, my maternal ancestors bought the title of viscount.

Did you buy ......?

That's why they ran out of money, and this house is all that's left. It was originally the site of a research facility of some kind, but they bought it to live near the lord's house to give it a boost. I heard that the price was not so high, so don't worry about it.

............ Are you sure you want to get this house?

We have a contract, you know.

I did, though.

There's a big difference between what you think in your head and what you see in person.

I got a house .......

It's our place. A place to come home to and protect. A place where you can say "I'm home" and people can say "welcome home" to you .......

...... is a great thing, isn't it?

It's okay. Do you really want me to own a house?

If you don't give it to me, I'll get insomnia from Contract Punishment.

Yeah, ...... right.

No, it's not a problem. I'll just roll in when I'm ready anyway.

Letitia put her hands on her hips and heaved her heart out like, eh?

''At that time, if you were mishandling the mansion or doing something horrible to Aine, I would take it away without mercy. That was the deal, wasn't it?

Letitia holds out her hand.

In the palm of her white, clean hand were two keys.

'Okay. Letitia, thanks.

I took the key in my hand, prepared to take it.

'It's good to see you, Letitia. Really.

Complimenting me won't make me your slave, will it?

You're a friend.

'You can call me your best friend if you want, okay?　Come on, folks. Let's get inside quickly.

Yeah. Thanks.

It's a bit depressing, though.

I hadn't lived in the same apartment for over a year, let alone a house in my former world.

I inserted one of the keys Letitia had given me into the lock.

Turn it.

There was a bit of resistance, and with a click, the lock opened.

I undo the chains.

Open the gate.

This is how we got our "place".

When we arrive at our new home, we first check the water system.

This is something I learned in my old world.

Does the water work properly? Is there a leak somewhere?

I heard that here in Ilgafa, the water system is magically maintained. It's a good thing that we don't have to go to the well every time we need to fill it, but we need to make sure that we know what it is.

So, while everyone else went to drop off their stuff, I went into the kitchen.

I open the wooden door, and there's a furnace, a sink, and...

A huge slime was attached to a large pillar near the wall.

Bam!

I closed the door.

Snap.

I opened the door.

There was a slime.

Blue in color. It's big enough to cover the kitchen wall. There is a pump near the wall that draws water. Maybe that's the magical water supply for Ilgafa. It looks like the slime came out of it. Spiders have been spreading their mucusy bodies all over the place like a spider spreading its web. It's all over the walls, pillars and brickwork.

It seems to have noticed me coming in, and is shaking its body shakily. Is she frightened?　Are you mad at me?　No, what's this all about anyway?　Does your otherworldly villa have slime on hand all the time?　Maybe you're a leftover cleaner?　No, but Aine's food rarely has leftovers, and we don't do punishing things that we leave out either: .......

I mean, this is our house, right?

What is this? Why is there slime living here?　I'll say it again: "What the hell?

Leggy!

I reflexively grabbed the magic sword Leggy on my back.

"I'll get rid of him. Help me out, Leggy!

"Yes, my Lord!

"'Activate!　Mucus Creature Domination (Slime Bringer)!''

My voice and Magic Sword Reggie's voice overlapped.

''Mucus Creature Domination (Slime Bringer), LV 1.''

He summons slimes in a radius of a few dozen meters around him and uses them.

I hold up my magic sword, Leggy, grabbing the entire sheath.

Controlling Mucus Creatures" is a USR (Ultra Super Rare) skill that Aine and I made together with Leggy. It allows you to use slime nearby.

No questions asked is not my hobby, but this slime is a trespasser. We'll just rip it out of here. Then we'll talk about the details!

Rattle, rattle, rattle!

The walls shook.

Lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo!

The slime screamed.

Shivering. The mucous body trembled. Both the body attached to the pillar and the tentacle-like things that stretched out on the walls on all sides. It trembled and squealed - and

The whole house started to shake.

'No!　Lord, it's resisted!

Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Slime is struggling to resist (resist).

Not good!　A piece of brick falls from the ceiling. This slime, it's digging deep into the pillars and walls. The vibrations of this thing's body are transmitted directly to the house's roof structure. What if it gets out of control and destroys the house?

"Stop, Leggy!　Stop the skills once!

Okay, okay!

Magic Sword Leggy's trembling stops. The skills, stop.

At the same time, the slime also stops moving.

The surface of its jelly-like body is bubbling. It's like seeing what kind of creature I am.

'...... 'Mucus Creature Control' doesn't work ......'

Originally, this skill was easily resisted by high level slimes. It's not just the size that's huge. It means this guy has that much ability and fighting power.

The tricky part is that this slime's body is digging into the cracks between the pillars and walls. If it gets out of control, the house could collapse.

The only way to save the house is to kill this thing in an instant. But if we used such skills, the house would definitely blow up first. Aine's "Increased Sewage" might be able to defeat it, but in order to do so, I'd have to submerge it in sewage. If you do that, the whole house will be flooded on the floor.

In this case, we'll just have to ask him to leave ...... peacefully.

The slime is still and unmoving. We don't know who it is, but maybe it's not hostile.

It's just that his body is blocking the water supply and the drains. If you don't get out of the way, you won't be able to fill up water, wash dishes, or bathe. Where did it come from? Jeez.

"I-I-I-I don't know what the fuss is about ────?　That's what it's all about!

So what can I do to help Letitia understand what this guy is?

I ask Letitia as she pops into the kitchen.

Cecil, Rita, and Aine, who came with me, are all rolling their eyes.

'It's not like this guy is the housekeeper, is it?

Oh, of course. It's funny. When you contacted me six months ago, there wasn't anything unusual reported: ......

So that means I've been in there for the past six months.

Cecil and the others reflexively went into a fighting stance, but I stopped them.

It's better not to provoke them. The house will break down.

I have no intention of losing the place I've just acquired.

Leggy. Do you have any idea who this guy is?

If it's high enough to resist mucus creature domination, it's the Elderslime. Elves and other demons enhanced by someone skilled in magic.

In sword form, Reggie tells me.

"Do you know anything about elves, my Lord?

'An elf ...... is a forest-dwelling race with magical properties, right?

'That's right. It is said that the elves who originally lived in the forest spent a long time strengthening animals and demons to become their messengers. Unlike towns, the forest has no walls or watchtowers. That's why they sent their messengers to patrol the forest instead of the guards.

Does this mean he's an Elvish user?

The forest used to exist around here a long time ago. It was carelessly built by some elves in the city, and they threw it away because they couldn't get rid of it.

You're illegally dumping.

Well, at least he's intelligent enough to know a few things.

Let's negotiate.

I put the magic sword Leggy on the floor. As proof of non-hostile intent.

Rorororor!

The Elderslime is growling.

I take a deep breath.

This is the first time I've had to negotiate head-on with a demon. I hope it works.

I reach into my jacket pocket and pull out a piece of dried meat.

Activate!　"Life Negotiation, Food Negotiation, Lv 1.

When you fight against the Fake Demon Tribe, you will activate the skill you created with Rita.

This skill allows you to use ingredients as currency to negotiate with them.

And while the skill is active, you can communicate with your opponent, whether it's a demon or an animal. As far as communication skills go, it's a cheat in a cheat.

I've never used it before, but ...... what happens?

Do you understand a word I say, Elderslime?

I said.

"We're the newcomers to the house. We're not going to kill you, but we'd like you to leave if you can.

The body of the slime begins to blink, pale and white.

And then...

"They were created by the secret arts of the elves... and through time... and were made of slime.

Slime's voice reached my ears.

It was a woman's voice, slightly hoarse.

"I'll tell you what I want. We are going to...

"Ha!　The idea of negotiating for one piece of dried meat hurts me to no end!　You lowlifes!

.................. Yes?

"Wawa is the slime inside the slime!　It is the "Elder Slime"!　It is the top species that was created and had a lot of trouble when it was young!

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that ...... is a shameless bunch of people. It's not a matter of time before you make a fuss over a mere occupation of your kitchen!　Shame on you!　Shame!

To begin with, the Warawa is an Elder Slime made by the elves who were born in the "Moon Touring Forest" which is said to have existed in this land in ancient times!　Hence, we have the right to be anywhere here in Irgafa!

Yes, we can't have this kind of lowlife in our midst!　Bring the elf to me.　And then I will listen to you.　Come on, don't just stand there. Move it, move it!　Bring the noble race here!

.............................. ........................ All right.

Let's take him down.

I'm going to adjust the frequency of the "Delayed Combat". It's a very tightrope to walk, but we should be able to figure it out. We should be able to calculate how many times we need to swing it to make the sword bigger. Just make sure that the sword doesn't touch the pillar and the wall - only the slime is removed.

Bun, bun bun bun (x14).

I held up my magic sword Leggy.
