260 - - 258. Consultation?

I have successfully processed coffee beans, and my life in the other world has become richer. It is a slow progress, but it will be a big step for me to be able to process coffee by myself.

I sip my morning coffee gracefully while thinking about intellectual things. This is how a modern man should spend his morning. While I was enjoying myself, there was a knock at my room door. There is still time for breakfast, but who is it?

"It's Sylphie. May I come in?"

"Oh, Sylphie, you can come in."

I gave my permission, and Sylphy came into the room. It's rare that she comes to my place in the morning. Usually she's relaxing in the living room.

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm, I knew you've been drinking coffee. I drink coffee to wake up!　So I've come to take you in. Coffee tastes good in the morning, doesn't it?"

Apparently, my behavior was perfectly predictable. Well, I had announced to myself that I was going to drink it. I drink a cup of coffee alone in the morning. That's great, but it's nothing compared to a cup of coffee with a beautiful girl like Sylphy. You're more than welcome.

"Yes, coffee tastes exceptionally good when you wake up. Well, I don't know if it's the same for Sylphy the genie, too. ......"

He prepares the coffee while suggesting Sylphy to sit on the sofa opposite him.

"Oh my, it's a sanctuary and our bodies are materializing. Maybe the sensations are similar.

I guess so, but Bell and the others are flying around like normal people. I still don't understand the effects of materialization, even after it's explained to me. It would be easier to feel it if we could suddenly see spirits like Gina and the others. ...... Well, if we can taste the same deliciousness, that's good enough for me.

"Yes, coffee. With a little milk and no sugar, right?"

"Yes, thank you. I'll take it.

Sylphy smells the coffee a little and then takes a sip.

"I wonder if the bitterness and the aroma make it a good morning drink?"

"I don't know.　I thought coffee became popular in the morning because of its effect on sleepiness, but do spirits become more sleepy when they materialize?"

"Sleepy. I think that if you keep on materializing and living your life like a human being, you will start to feel sleepy. If you're not materializing, if you're melting naturally, you won't feel that way."

I don't have to sleep ...... which is an enviable ability when you're busy. I don't envy it so much because I like to coast, but the workaholics and some gamers will rejoice.

"When you get your own room, Sylphy, will you live like a human being?"

"Yes, that's the plan. "Yes, that's what I'm going to do.

That's an awfully simple reason. But if you're looking forward to it, you should do your best.

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, since the brewery seems to be busier, I was thinking of starting the plan to build the mansion after things settle down there.

"Yuta's right, everyone is crazy about the brewery, so there's no need to rush into anything. But what do you have in mind when you say "mansion"?　In the meantime, you will continue to hide the capacity of your magic bag, right?"

"Yes, I'm going to hide it. I don't think there's much point in hiding it since I've already been noticed by some important people, but if I remove the restrictions easily by myself, it's not good for me."

If he keeps removing the shackles, he will eventually start talking about using the power of the Great Spirit to conquer the world.

"In Yuta's case, even if he removes the restrictions, he is not likely to be able to do anything grandiose. ....... But it's good to think of putting a limit on yourself. As long as you're thinking about it, you won't go off the rails."

You're totally seeing through me. You're the type of person who shouts "world domination" and then loses your mind right before you actually start to make your move. But I think it's important to be careful. Even if world domination is not possible, there is a great possibility that I will be a fool because of my desires.

"Well, that's why I'm thinking of building a few big buildings and connecting them with bridges, rather than a mansion. It would be fun to have some freedom to request the interior of the building you live in. It would take a long time to build one house each, so it would be helpful if you could think of a combination that would work well with each other."

I thought about combining the houses I ordered from Jill like building blocks and making them into a mansion, but it would be less strange if they were independent to some extent rather than halfway attached to each other.

Dene said she wanted a waterfall and a waterway in the house, and Dolly would be happier if there were more plants. But the two could be merged. If each house were connected by a bridge, it would not be a mansion, but it would be a comfortable place to live for everyone.

I don't think they should be connected by bridges, but I think it would be cooler and have more atmosphere if they are connected.

"Well, I would prefer a house with good ventilation and few obstacles, and Dine would probably want to build a water feature in the house. ...... is interesting."

"Speaking of which, what kind of house would IF prefer?　Aside from water and wind, I'd be scared to death of a big fire burning in my house. ......"

Of course, fire spirits live there, so they don't have to worry about fire, but it's still a little scary.

"The kind of house that ifs like to live in. ...... Sure they'd want fire in the house, but I don't think they'd want something so over-the-top. Iph is a great spirit of fire and knows the dangers of fire."

When you said you used to live in a volcano, I imagined a house like the volcano in the labyrinth that you can't even enter without Sylphy's help.

"I see. I'm relieved. Then, I'll have everyone think about the house they want to live in, and I'll ask Jill if she can do it the next time I visit the labyrinth city. There is also the matter of the brewery, but please discuss it with everyone and think about what kind of house you would like."

"Yes, I'll think of a nice house. Oh, it's almost time for breakfast.

We talked a little too much over coffee. When I left the room with Sylphy, I didn't see Bell and the others who always rush to the room. Maybe they didn't want to come because of Sylphy's presence?

I went down to the living room, feeling a little sad, and found Belle, Gina, and Fuchu-chan surrounded Dine and Dolly, discussing something.

Dolly is a bit overwhelmed by the cheerful questions from the little ones. On the other hand, Deanne is handling the little ones with a relaxed expression on her face. Maybe Deene is suited to be a kindergarten teacher or something.

"Good morning, everyone. What are you talking about this morning?

"Oh, it's just me. Good morning."

"Good morning, Belle."

"You know, Belle and her friends were talking about the plaza."

He puffed out his chest and told me what Belle was talking about. Yesterday, I told you that we should all build a plaza together. That's why you were talking to Dine and Dolly.

"I see. You guys are doing a great job. But it's breakfast time, so let's talk about it after dinner.

We exchange morning greetings and prepare breakfast. The great spirits who came for breakfast today are Sylphy, Dine, and Dolly. The rest are at the brewery.

****....

After breakfast, the little army (Belle, Fukuchan, Sara, etc.) plus Gina ran to the building site in the plaza with Dine and Dolly in tow. Gina and the others had seemed anxious yesterday, but they seemed to have gotten over their anxiety while talking with the others and seemed to be in a good mood.

If Deanne and Dolly are working together, they will not fail. I am a little worried about Deanne's outburst. I'm afraid that she might say "let's build a lake" or something like that. Well, Dolly will be there to stop Deanne's outburst.

Since the sanctuary, the place has been named, the coffee is finished, and the brewing spirits have come and built a brewery. The little army + Gina have started building a beautiful plaza and I'm building a new mansion?　We started planning to build a new house. I feel like paradise is getting better all at once.

I can't lose. I'll have to wait until the spirits come to a consensus on the mansion. Vita hasn't given us permission to befriend the animals, and the little army plus Gina are at the site where the plaza is to be built. Huh?　I don't have anything to do: .......

It's a matter of dignity for the master if I'm the only one slacking off while everyone else is working hard. I need to start doing something.

For a moment, I thought it would be a good opportunity to sneak off to another country to play, but I guess not now. But now that it's a sanctuary, it's much safer here, isn't it?

"Yuta, what's wrong?"

"Uh ...... yeah, I can't think of anything to do. I know there must be something I should be doing, but I can't think of anything. Sylphy, what do you think needs to be done urgently in paradise right now?

Guabard rubbing is different, and orchards and camellia oil collection are different, too. I was going to turn the last point of the canal into a fishing pond, but the number of fish has not increased that much.

"Well, ...... if you can't think of anything right away, maybe you can help us out a bit?　I need Yuta's help."

...... What?　I'm going to consult with Sylphy and the others and lend them my strength?　If it were the other way around, I'd understand, but it doesn't feel right.

"Well, I don't know if I can help you, but I'll do what I can. But if you wanted to talk about it, you could have told me in the morning when we were having coffee."

"It's selfish of us. Yuta doesn't seem to have any plans, so we decided to talk to him about it. Frankly, it's been a great help.

If you have plans for me, you put them first. You seem to care about me a lot, but that's why I'm afraid of the word "selfishness".

"I see. So what is this consultation about?　You mean the brewery?"

We'll take care of the brewery. What we need your help with is the village of spirits we are planning to build in paradise.

You're talking about a village of spirits. The east side of the paradise was to be a brewery and the west side was to be a village.

What was that?　But I thought we were talking about building a village only after the brewery was in sight?"　

"We were going to, but it ...... didn't work out that way. Most of the spirits like to drink, so they were supposed to wait until the brewery was finished.

Sylphy sighs gloomily. What's going on here that I don't know about?　

"Yuta, you don't have to look so worried. You can refuse if you want, and what we ask Yuta to help us with will take a lot of work, but it won't be difficult."

"That would be great, but then why is Sylphy in so much trouble?　I'll help you as much as it takes, okay?"

"I'm not in trouble. I just thought it would be a bit of a hassle."

I don't know what's going on, but something troublesome is going on for Sylphy and his friends. Well, if it's not too difficult, this is our chance to return the favor, so let's listen to what they have to say.
