24 – moving plans (3)

“Welcome – eh? Aren’t you the people who visited yesterday? How, by any chance, did you decide?”

The one who greeted us was none other than one of yesterday’s rat beastmen. A bit young, wearing glasses.

“Yes, I want to buy a house.”

It was she who brought up the story.

It’s not ‘renting’ a house, it’s ‘buying’ it.

That way is much better, she said.

“Five gold coins a year. Fifty coins in 10 years. Even then, if the owner changes his mind, you have to leave the house and find a new place. Renting is not as good as buying. It’s not better than buying because you have to pay for it.”

I leaned against her, exhausted, and listened to her whispers as I washed my saliva-stained body.

“If you have such a large amount of money, it is much better to go to the landlord with gold coins and ask if he will turn over the whole house.

Red marks are left on the clean cheeks, and soft underwear is put on.

“So, shall we go tomorrow and talk? I’ll pay 10 years’ rent all at once, so I can sell the house. Of course, you can refuse.”

Laying on the bed, I look at her deep eyes with closed eyes.

Instead of answering her, he replied by running his hair, which was still damp after washing it once.

Always soft and warm to the touch, sweeping down her long ears.

“hehehe, good night. I’ll see you tomorrow morning, my love.”

…It was the next day after a good night’s sleep, surrounded by her love that had become more explicit.

“Which of the properties I showed you yesterday do you want?”

“The very first house on the west block you saw.”

“Eh? Hey, sir, the building in question can only be rented. Is there any mistake…?”

“No, I’m just here to buy the house. Can I meet the owner?”

“Ah… there’s nothing wrong with it. Wait a minute… Grandpa!”

He opened the door and disappeared, and soon came out with a whistle and a silver coin.

“Please wait for a moment. We will contact the landlord as soon as possible and make an appointment.”

“Oh, wait a minute. Could you please let me know that you are willing to pay the rental amount for 10 years at once, rather than simply expressing your intention to buy it?”

“Yes? Fifty gold coins? Do you have them?”

As soon as he finished speaking, I pulled out my pocket from my waistband and held it up.

It was quite heavy, and simply lifting it made a thumping sound.

“…Wait a minute, wait a minute, Grandpa!! Grandpa!!”

He forgot to take the silver coin and hurriedly went into the room, and then the old man from yesterday ran out with a gasp after correcting his glasses.

“Oh my gosh, sir, are you really going to buy that house? For 50 gold coins!”

There was silence for a moment.

The rat beastmen in front were still looking at me wheezing, but the voices I expected still didn’t come out.

Questioning that, I looked to the side, and she was smiling at me with her hands folded neatly.

“Why didn’t you say anything…”

“It is the owner who expresses his intention to purchase.”

“Master…? Me?”

“Then who is here? You are my only master.”

I was staring at her blankly.

She used to talk well until now, but why is she suddenly yielding to me like this? Even if you dare to say that you are a slave.

“Come on, come on. It’s the owner’s money, so you’ll have to decide for yourself.”

Feeling awkward and strange for no reason, I scratched my head nervously and looked at the rat beastmen, and they were staring at me with their hands together eagerly.

“That, ha… Yes, I’m willing to buy a house.”

“…Ah! Ah, ok. T-before we proceed, could you please make sure you have the money!”

Putting the pocket in his hand on the ground, unfastening the string to reveal the glittering gold coins, the old man pushed his glasses up once with his hand and then with trembling hands took out two palm-sized silver coins from his bosom.

Oh, of course it was by their standards.

“Sat, Toby. Send it by express. Come on! Tell the landlord that it’s a 50 gold coin deal, hurry up!”

Two more silver coins were given to the man named Toby, who had just been entertaining us, and Toby went out and put the whistle to his lips.

“Whee-hee-“

I thought it would be a little more upsetting than that.

Rather than a whistle- or beep-beep sound, it’s just a whistle that sounds like a failed whistle.

Wings fluttering… Ooh, a new beastman in a pretty decent uniform landed in front of him.

With huge wings on his back, a scarf wrapped tightly around his nose, he had rather intense, glowing eyes.

Even the tight-fitting uniform was emphasizing his slender and strong muscles.

“Express please. Deliver this letter to Enver Carmen in the center of the city!”

“I definitely got it.”

Tup, he accepted the document and put it in his bosom, then turned back and showed off his huge wings.

Then, it flapped vigorously and flew high into the sky.

It was… an impressive sight.

***

As I was sipping tea for a while, I was very concerned about her strange attitude earlier.

Like her attitude of giving me an answer, or her way of calling me ‘owner’ in front of others.

Wasn’t she obviously resistant to her status as a slave?

Contrary to my distraught mind, she continued to take the drink to her mouth very leisurely.

Don’t forget to smile at me from time to time.

“excuse me.”

“Yes, Mr. Marcus.”

See, now he’s calling me Mr. Marcus.

“Why did you call me Master earlier?”

“Because it was in front of other people.”

“What does being in front of other people make a difference?”

“I think your relationship with me is something very special between me and you.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, she gave me a brief, dangerous smile.

The corners of his mouth were clearly raised, but his eyes glared at me sharply.

The glimpse of her tongue made me wince.

“I don’t think there’s any need or reason to show that kind of relationship to other people. What do you think?”

“How… to think.”

I thought being in a romantic relationship was something to brag about.

Love is a little more… open – wasn’t that the atmosphere?

“Puch, even so, I don’t think it’s a topic worth talking about here anymore.”

She carefully put her finger to her mouth, then pointed her finger at the closed room.

“Did you hear that birds listen to daytime words and mice listen to nighttime words?”

“Such a saying goes here – oh no…”

Hamata would have made a mistake.

It’s not that such a proverb is also here… There is such a proverb, right? Is that so, should I have said that?

Damn, something went wrong…!

While shaking her head at that thought, she stared at me, then took another sip of tea.

“Yeah, well… Let’s talk about the rest while we’re alone.”

With a thump, the mug was placed back on the desk from her hand.

“Looks like you have a guest.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened wide.

“That, so.”

The person who exhales violently is none other than a wild boar with an impressive tusk?!

“You’re offering 50 gold coins!”

With a thump, he rubbed his rough, hairy hands, then strode over to me and grabbed my hand.

“Oh, nice to meet you. My name is Enver Carmen! You’re interested in my house!”

He seemed to be quite pleased with the situation, but his open face showed it very clearly.

“Yes, yes… Um, can I take a tour of the house before we make a deal?”

“Ayu, of course! I’m very confident in my house. Especially in the west block, it’s very artless. Follow me!”

Following him outside, there was a pretty luxurious carriage standing there. It was emphasized with black and gold lines, and it had a strong feeling, like… um… should I say that of an English gentleman.

It was me, Mr. Carmen, Mr. Ellie, and the old man from the real estate who boarded that carriage.

“If you look at the house, you’ll love it. It has two floors and even has a ‘cellar’ that can be used as a storage room. There is also a small garden… Especially for newlyweds moving in, the soundproofing is very good. ha ha!”

Knocked on his knees, he bowed his head to Ellie once, then spoke to me.

“Ugh, but why… You have a great beauty around you. I’m envious of this. It’s not unreasonable to want to buy a house like this.”

“Yeah, that’s right. hahahaha…”

Even though she made all the judgments.

As the carriage slowly slowed down, he reached out the window and pointed to a house.

One house that was clearly visible among the fairly sparsely spaced houses had a fairly neat feel.

The house, built of wood and brick, boasted a luxurious appearance that made it believable as a modern house.

With a well-placed gray and black brick, a good mix of wood beams and planks, and a slightly unmaintained garden, it certainly looked good.

“This is a house that I participated in designing for a long time ago. The aesthetics itself is great… but the location and price… Surprisingly, it’s not a house that people can easily find. , I don’t want to settle down on the outskirts of town.”

He let out a sigh, turned his head to me, and grinned.

“Still, how fortunate is it to have someone who recognizes the charms of my house? How do you go inside?”

He took out the key from his chest and opened the door before I could say anything.

It was time to look inside.
