Episode 18 Release of the Spirit

"For now, let's eat and then." Today's dish is a large slice of bread topped with a bolognese-like dish with added meat.

"When I looked around, the store clerk and the customer were terrified." Ash or Ash's scary face. I can't help but smile.

It was strange that there were so many menu items with bread on the bottom, but it seems that there were no plates until a while ago, and bread was used as a plate. Ash told me that recently it's been properly served on a plate, but there are still remnants of it.

"You've changed."

"Because it used to be a road, it seems that two carriages won't enter by mistake."

At the entrance to the alleyway leading to the rented house, there is a simple iron lattice door with a sloppy dead end sign hanging on it.

The distance to my house is one house, and if you're on foot, you can easily see that it's a dead end. When the driver behind the horse sees the turn, it's already moving forward, so maybe to let him know before that? "You won't be able to retreat easily."

The walls of the houses on the left and right of the alley are decorated with plants, and there are flower pots on the edge of the road. I also have some large pots in front of my house. If I leave it as it is, it seems that two pots will be buried in front of my house, so I'm going to claim the territory...

"Good hobby"

I'm a little happy to be praised. I changed the door, and repaired the floor and walls that were full of gaps. The exterior has not changed except for the door and window, but the interior is different.

"Well, what about hot water? It's going to be the kitchen."

It seems that the inn will give you the hot water in a bucket for an additional fee.

I don't have any plans to use the bath here, so I don't have anything prepared, but there is a large basin for washing. I've never used it before, so I guess it's okay to use it in the bath.

"There's also a bath house, but it's a steam bath." I wonder if it's using the heat of the kiln that baked the bread, and it's attached to the bakery. There's a barber shop and a massage shop, and it's quite lively, but I'd like to refrain from going to the spring. I have a track record of turning around because I feel uneasy about hygiene.

"In towns by the river, there were types where you could put them in a bathtub, but the hygiene aspect is like this..." Especially after [Appraisal] revealed syphilis, I don't even go near him anymore. I don't want to go either, but I don't want to invite anyone.

"That's why I didn't invite you to the town's bathhouse. Was Ash in the men's or women's bath?" "It's not because of hesitation."

However, since they both carried wolves on their shoulders, they have a wild smell. My nose is getting used to it, but I don't want to stay like this for a while.

"May I ask?"

"Then please sit on the chair over there and wait."

The first floor is a workshop, but it doesn't take up much space since it's just dispensing medicine. A sofa and a desk are placed in the empty space.

I draw water from the courtyard and boil it in the kitchen. Gently transfer to the house and bring towels, sheets, and tea. What's missing? "Ah, it must be cold if we don't light the fireplace."

I leave the fireplace on the first floor to Ash and light the fireplace on the second floor. When I fixed it or remade it, I used it once, so there is no problem with the fireplace.

Transfer the boiling water to a bowl, prepare a bucket with water for adjustment on the side, and complete.

"Go ahead, the toilet is the door over there. I'm up there."

"Oh, thank you."

In addition, the toilet was placed directly in the corner of the kitchen, but was separated by a wall.

I wondered why it was in the kitchen, but it seems that sewage is running under the road, and it seems to be a mechanism that flows into the same place as the kitchen drainage. The kitchen is small because of the walls.

"Do your best in the toilet, bath, and other summoned heroes from Earth!" I would like to say that, but it seems that the last time the hero was summoned was nearly 300 years ago. You're not the same age as me. Let's expect life reform from my sister and her friend. Go for it, national power!

I waited for a while and didn't hear anything in particular, so I [Transfer] to my house and hurriedly washed my hands, feet and face and changed clothes. I can still smell it, but it can't be helped, let's take a bath later.

A set of tea sets and cookies for the tray. To be honest, I've done some work on the first floor, which you might be able to see from the outside, but I've left the rest alone after finishing the interior. I barely managed to make a bed, desk and chair on the second floor.

"For now, let's pretend that the second floor is for visitors and live on the third floor." Nothing.

"Well then, shall we begin?"

"I'm sorry. Nice to meet you."

I'm sitting on a chair facing Ash, who's sitting on the bed.

Reach out and touch the little blue bird. Even if I touch it, it won't stop poking above Ash's ear. It seems like even a small bird can't stop it by itself.

I think it would be nice if I could do something about a ribbon-like light collar that looks like it's written on it, but I don't know what to do.

――While thinking about such things, I snapped it with my finger and it came apart.

"Ugu"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

It was unexpected, so I missed calling out.

I caught my upper body falling down and put it on the bed. It hit me in the chest, but it's the chest plate. It should be a woman who just got out of the bath. ...Just being carried by that female knight, isn't he a man after all?

As I was putting the futon on Ash, a small bird landed on my shoulder. When it was pecking with its neck outstretched, its wings looked sparse because its body was stretched out, but now they are round.

"Don't take revenge on this person, okay? Good work, you too, get some rest."

I won't stop doing it to other guys.

When I scooped it up and moved it to Ash's bedside, the bird closed its eyes as it shuddered.

Now for the bath! When I got home, Riche sniffed at me. Do you still smell it?

After slowly soaking in the hot water and drinking the milk, I lay down on the sofa and stroked the riches she had put on her belly.

"For the time being, arrange the third floor so that it's okay if someone sees you in the future." Make a firewood storage place and leave a certain amount of firewood. Place the dishes and pots. Ah, should I lock the door to my room?

"I can think of a lot of things to do." It's fun to think about the layout and interior of the house, but it's a little too messy and unorganized.

"The hard part is not knowing when Ash will wake up." For the time being, should I try living in that house for a while?

"Let's go buy a bathtub tomorrow."
