25 – The inside is cleaner than I thought.

“Now, isn’t the inside as neat as the beautiful exterior!”

The interior of the house, which was opened and entered, was a space that was quite open and gave a sense of stability.

Not too thin, not too narrow,

I have to say it’s just the right look.

“…Ehehehe, but maybe it’s because people haven’t lived there for a while, it’s pretty dusty.”

He rubbed his hand across the desk and frowned.

“Besides, some of the furniture looks a bit worn out. Hmmm…”

After examining every nook and cranny of the house with his big nose wide open, he returned to us and lowered his head slightly.

“I’m sorry. It’s a house on the outskirts, so I couldn’t even check the condition of the house. If you sign a contract for the house, I’ll take care of this part separately.”

“If you do that, I thank you from here.”

Because there is no reason to refuse kindness.

“Then, would you like to look around the house together?”

“I will.”

“Keumkeum, then… Where should we start talking? Let me introduce you from the first floor.”

Following him, I entered the front door clearly, with slightly red wood floors and a window that looked out onto the back of the house and out onto the lush garden.

There was a sofa on the opposite wall that helped you sit and look at the window, and it was supposed to be red, but the color looked a little muddy.

There was a stove on the wall to the right of the sofa, and judging from the slight burnt soot, it was possible to guess that there were traces of people living there in the past.

And right in front of the stove was a dusty, faded rug and a wooden table, which the owner of the house ran his hand through as if he didn’t like it either.

“…Ha, I haven’t seen the outskirts for too long. This means that other empty houses on the outskirts are in the same condition…”

He scratched his eyebrows with his finger, pondered something for a moment, then turned to us and began explaining.

“For now, I’ll bring all the furniture back in as new. It’s my responsibility, so don’t worry… This is the living room. Even with a stove, a sofa and a wooden table, it doesn’t look quite cramped, does it?”

“It certainly looks like that. It would be nice to sit in front of the sofa and drink tea while looking at the scenery.”

“You can do that. Why don’t you go with me to the kitchen this time? There will be a little more fun there.”

After shaking his hand, he led us to the kitchen, where there was a good-sized stove and a slightly larger stove.

“I purposely made the size of the furnace a bit larger. I was also quite interested in cooking, so I was a bit greedy on purpose. You can cook two dishes at once, or you can bake bread in the oven. If not,”

He opened the stove once, took a peek inside, nodded once, and turned slightly to show us inside.

“Hmm! But there’s no dust or ashes here, probably because the previous tenant didn’t use it.”

Moving his steps slightly, he showed us the sink.

Of course, it wasn’t the kind of stainless material and strong water, but it was a sink with stones.

The only question was, where did the water come from?

There were no water pipes or anything like that, but instead there was a pipe and a few dusty red and blue marbles on the wall.

“Anyway, the distance between the well and this house is quite far, so it’s a magic tool that I put in. Have you ever heard of it?”

magic tool? Are you talking about magic tools?

Are they similar to those used to check IDs in the past?

“…For such an expensive thing to exist here, it’s surprising. Was this the reason why the price was so high?”

She carefully examines the sink with her ears flapping.

He took a handkerchief from his bosom, wiped it off, and smiled.

“Yes, of course. There was a time when I put effort into each and every house, so there was a time when I didn’t even think about the price and just ranted. hahahaha, would you like to see how you use it?”

“please!”

After wiping off all the dust, he put back the handkerchief and put his hand on the marble.

Then the water… didn’t come out of the coffin?

“Ummm… I haven’t used it for too long… Hold on… Would you like to step back?”

I, she, and the real estate boss, who were staring at the pipe from which the water comes out, were pushed back and he tilted his head while glancing at the pipe.

“There’s no way this won’t work – wow!”

A blue light slowly emanated from the marble, and soon it gave off a very clear blue light.

After admiring the light for a while, everyone took several steps back in fright from the water stream suddenly launched from the coffin.

The water spilled from the pipe towards the sink and gushed back and splashed around, making the dusty house a little dirty.

“Uh-uh, that’s right. In the end, I realized that a house that people don’t use for a long time loses its value. In many ways…”

He turned off the water by placing his hand back on the bead of the coffin, which spewed out a steady blue light.

“Well, first of all, this is cold water, and if you use a red bead after turning on the water, the water will gradually heat up. However, there is no way the red bead will be fine when the blue bead is like this… I will definitely try my hand at this part. “

For some reason, the more I went, the more my anxiety about the house grew, but Mr. Elly seemed to be thinking about something calmly as he watched them one by one.

I went to her side and asked a question.

“Hey, what were you thinking?”

“Your thoughts.”

Seeing her reply while looking me straight in the eye without hesitation made my face so hot that I couldn’t put my head down.

“I did that, but I was guessing at the value of the house. I’m sure it’s going to lose value because it’s old, but it’s going to cost more to fix it back to its original state.”

“Do you like the house?”

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother thinking about the cost of repairs. It seems like a really quiet and comfortable place, here. My ears are very comfortable.”

“Actually, we prepared a house for people with sensitive ears. Rabbits, dogs, wolves, cats… Of course, they say that living in the city for a long time makes it a bit dull, but it can’t be helped that it is annoying and painful. So I deliberately chose the outskirts. I also do it there. I wanted to make it a home to settle in for a long time, not a place to stay for a while.”

Tak, Tak, he turned his hand once, and he straightened his back once.

“Of course, looking at the condition of the house, not many people agree with my opinion. Those who have already adapted to the noise of the city try to live closer to the center of the city without any inconvenience, and those who cannot adapt to it leave the city altogether. You settle down in the countryside.”

He lightly scratched his tusk with his fingernail and continued talking.

“How, would you like to keep looking at the house, or…”

I slightly rolled my eyes towards her. Like her reaction from earlier, as well as her interest in the house, she seemed to like the house very much.

In fact, I thought that if the condition of the house improved to some extent, I would be satisfied with the house too. Looking at the structure of the living room and the various items installed in the kitchen, it seemed quite livable.

Besides, I was thinking about this because I had a certain amount of money.

“I want to continue looking at the house.”

“Okay. Then I’ll quickly show you the bathroom side, the kitchen, the second floor, and the basement side. Time goes by pretty quickly.”

***

“This is the bathroom. As you can see there are magic tools here as well, we have set them up so that you can use them right away without having to dictate them separately. Isn’t that something uncommon?”

God, it’s a toilet. It is also quite modern and similar in structure. Even at the inn, I had to squat in an odd place to do my work, but I thought it could be handled more neatly.

She seemed to be quite interested in it too. Seeing that my ears sometimes pricked up, it seemed that I was quite satisfied with the structure of the bathroom.

“This is the second floor. It’s the bedroom – uh huh, it’s a bit dusty. You can see the street from this window. It’s not too crowded, so you can enjoy the scenery while looking at the trees and flowers along the roadside. There are curtains… By the way. I’ll have to break it down once in a while.”

There was a large bed in the bedroom, but it was not in such good condition that I wondered if it should be turned over. It was even more so when I saw Carmen’s frowning face.

However, the stairs leading up to this place were not that wide, so I had no choice but to ask how the bed was moved to this place.

So he replied that he had a prefabricated bed and mentioned the reason for the large window.

“Now, the bed frame was brought in separately through the stairs, and the large parts and mattresses were brought in through the window. At that time, there was no problem with the bed being brought in while working on the balcony on the second floor, but now a mysterious magic has arisen again, so I have to ask that person. It’s planned. They say it’s light weight, and it significantly reduces the weight of things. If you ask a new staff member, it will be easy to assemble the bed.”

As the explanation of the second floor was finished, he opened another room and showed it to me.

“If you look at this alcove on the second floor… there is a small space that can be used as a storage room. I need to clean this one too… See the ladder? .. I don’t like the lock… I really don’t like it. I think I need to change that too.”

For some reason, for a person who sells a house, he did not hesitate to criticize his house. Even the flaws I didn’t find, I would say it myself and take a close look at its condition.

But that doesn’t mean that I’ve lost my intention to buy a house, and since I’m determined to do the repairs myself, I don’t think they’re going to ask for much of my own expenses, so I’m a little worried.

Rather, if you can negotiate the price on this side, you don’t know.

“This is the basement.”

Going down the stairs, a dark space appeared.

He fumbled along the wall, then withdrew his hand in amazement.

“Originally, there’s a magic tool that creates a light source over here, but if you turn it on now, it looks like something big will happen… hahahaha. Please wait a moment. Soon-“

“No, I’ll do that.”

A voice came from under the bridge, and soon a bright light appeared.

“Even old people have at least one or two talents, so how about it?”

“Hamilton, I didn’t know you could use magic!”

I wonder if the real estate manager’s name was Mr. Hamilton? Anyway, magic seemed pretty strange.

A bunch of words floated in front of my eyes, and they clearly glowed in the air.

And the appearance of the basement that was soon reflected was quite… impressive.

The stone-brick floors and walls were a little cold to the touch, and there was nothing particularly unusual about them.

If I had to pick one, would it be the existence of drainage holes, the various rings on the walls, and the empty wooden exhibition hall?

“Why are those metal rings there?”

“Perhaps… one of the former owners must have been… an alchemist, I remember. I am out of town now so I can’t ask what it’s for – it was probably used as an auxiliary in some of his many experiments. ?”

“…Yeah, I’m sure there was a time when I introduced him. I remember that he stayed quietly and then left quietly.”

Between them nodding their heads, I saw Ellie quietly touching it with her hand.

He ran his hand along the wall, then brought his fingers together and rubbed them together, as if contemplating something.

Then, when those eyes met mine, I felt goosebumps running up my spine for no reason.

It was the same feeling I felt the first time I put my body on top of her.
