471 - - Episode 469 House of If and Onyx

The house of the Great Spirits is completed and the Great Spirits are summoned to check the finished house, but the first nomos house I saw ...... was an indescribable house where the house was an accessory and the basement where the sake barrels were kept was the main part. I knew this house because I ordered it, but it felt different in real life.

I checked out the Nomos house and thought it was more of a sake cellar than a house.

I pushed these feelings to the back of my mind and headed to the next house of If and Onyx. This house has been ordered as a house, so you will not feel strange except for a very small part of it.

We go up the basement by a simple temporary staircase and enter the house.

"Oh, Yuta came to see the house too. It looks pretty good!

"Not bad at all!"

As we entered the house, If and Flair noticed us and called out to us.

The space is dimly lit with small windows. A bar counter is furnished. Yes, it is a bar. It's perfectly built, just as I ordered.

Flair is sitting next to If, though he looks very uncomfortable.

If is a beautiful girl who looks a bit oraganic, so the bar suits her perfectly. However, it seems that a young girl and a bar counter are not a good match.

Well, that's not something you can say to Flair, who is looking very pleased to be standing next to Ifu.

But I can see why if is in a good mood. We've got a bar on Sake Island too, but this one is kind of better.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the work of a good Sunday carpenter and the work of a real carpenter ......, but I guess that's because this is the work of a real carpenter.

As Nomos was satisfied with the basement, it was a carpenter who built the bar.

The work of the spirits was also excellent as far as I was concerned, but I guess that means that the real dwarven craftsmen were better than them.

The bar on the island is used by all the spirits and this bar is a private bar run by Onyx and used by Sylphy and Ruby.

Is it safe to say that the private bar is better?　I feel like the other spirits might complain?

...... Well, that's a problem for Sylphy and his friends to deal with. Sylphy and her friends are big spirits, so they can probably handle it.

(If, Flare, did you have any problems?　I'm sure Jill can fix it up for you now, okay?)

I approach If and Fleur, looking around the bar, and whisper to them.

Normally it would be enough just to call out to If, but it is my technique as a great spiritualist to call out to Freya as well.

As expected. Flare, imitating If's thoughtful attitude, starts pretending to be thinking with his arms folded in a big way.

Flair is so cheeky and cute that she's smiling with happiness even though she's pretending to be thinking about it.

This is the art of Flare, who is in a good mood because she is treated the same as the person (spirit) she admires and her self-esteem is satisfied.

A superb technique that only I, who can see and talk with spirits, can do. In paradise, Gina and the others can do it, but outside of the sanctuary, I am the only one who can do it so far.

...... I'd like to believe that it's not just a child's mood-setting.

"Well, so far I don't see what's bothering you."

"No, man!"

Flair matches If's thoughtful answer.

If is happy with his answer and Flare is happy with his answer.

(Not only in this room, were there any problems in the other rooms?)

Given If and Flair's personalities, they should be sitting here because they have already looked around all the rooms.

"Yeah, the other rooms are fine. Onyx's room was also a bit of a mess, but Yuta is going to help you there, right?"

（Yeah, that's the plan.)

When we ordered the house, Dine took me to buy all the furniture and stuff, so we have enough to spare.

Even if you don't find something you like in the list, you can always order a custom-made one. We don't have a contract, but Ruby and the others are helping us, so furniture is cheap.

Then that's good enough for me. Now all we have to do is fill this place up with booze. Yuta, please!

"Please!"　

I guess that means it's my role to fill it with booze. Well, the brewery is running at full capacity, so it can't all be me.

My role is just to bring the alcohol that Marie has collected from all over the world. It won't be much different than before.

If Iff and Fleur are all right, I'll take a quick look around the house and go see Sylphy and the others.

Let's go to If's room first and then to the two rooms in the basement.

The stairs behind the bar counter lead up first.

Yeah, it's just a plain room without any furniture, except for the object in the middle of the room.

"Hey, I set it up like you said, but why do I need this thing?　You know, the ones they use for lighthouses?　And it's not a magic lighthouse, it's a fire lighthouse."

Jill's question is very understandable. It may not be normal, but a private house does not need a fire pit like the one used for a lighthouse.

A huge stone fire pit shaped like an upside-down bowl. If you take full advantage of such a thing, it would be hell in the room.

But the fire spirit is very pleased with this facility.

If is looking at the fire pit with satisfaction, and Flare is proudly explaining to Tulu that a big fire burns here.

When I ordered the fireplace, I thought a fireplace would be enough, but Ifu, the great spirit of fire, said that the fire should burn loudly.

I thought I could do something about fire with my magic, but he said there is a difference between a fire that burns with magic power and a fire that burns with natural materials. Fire is also a very deep subject.

"...... Well, it's a dangerous place and there are many things you can do. This is what we need."

"Well, ...... I don't understand it, but I don't want to go where you live."

What kind of dangerous place do you live in?　The light went out of Jill's eyes, which had looked so interested. What kind of place did she think I lived in?

"Well, it's a surprisingly nice place to live, you know?"

The only thing is that the residents are spirits, so they need some special facilities.

"If people like it, it must be a good place. I just don't understand it, so don't worry about it."

I care. No. Should I not be concerned?

It seems that he doesn't intend to refuse the order, and if I order a strange house from now on, he can pass it off as Yuta's order, so it's natural that it's strange, so I don't have to tell him a painful lie.

There's nothing wrong with a business relationship ...... that doesn't involve each other deeply. Yeah. I don't care.

Now that we've settled this easily in our minds, let's go check out the basement.

......The basement seems to be in good order.

The first room is a storage room for alcohol.

Unlike the Nomos house, it is a type of storage room that stores liquor in bottles instead of in barrels, and the room is filled with shelves like wine cabinets except for the workbench.

They said that the purpose of this room is not to store sake for a long time, but to keep bottles of your favorite sake so that you can drink them right away, but I don't think it makes sense because you are likely to drink all of them soon after all.

The amount of alcohol that I don't bring to the banquet is limited by money, but we need to limit it a little more strictly. We'll discuss this with Sylphy and the others when we get back to paradise.

Next is Onyx's room. It is just a dark room with no windows, but I guess Onyx, the spirit of darkness, is comfortable in this room. There is no furniture in the room, so there is nothing to see. Let's go see the next house of Sylphy and Onyx.

**

"Yuta. You're here at last. Open the window, please.

Yuta, open the door!

"Yuta. I want to see the waterfall. Can I try to pour some water?

Cue!"

"The shelves for the plants are exactly as ordered. I am looking forward to placing the plants in balance with the furniture. Hey, Tamamo."

"Coo!"

When we arrived at Sylphy and her family's house, we were greeted by Sylphy, Dine and Dolly with their bright smiles.

Belle, Rain and Tamamo seemed to be very interested in the place where their attributes are involved, and they seemed to be having a lot of fun with each of the great spirits.

Sylphy and Belle's request. Opening the window is not a problem, as it is something that should be tried.

Dolly and Tamamo are only thinking about the placement of the plants, so there is nothing for me to do.

The problem is Dine and Rain. Is it possible to run water here?　But we can't be sure until we try. We don't want to bring it back to paradise and have it fail.

Rain seems to be looking forward to it, and Dine seems to have grown a lot by waiting for me to come. I'd like to do something about that.

"Jill. Can you run water over the waterfall?"

"Hmm?　Ah, checking the waterfall. Well, we won't know if we don't see it. ...... would you mind if it takes some time to prepare the water?"

I thought it was an insane request, but there seems to be no problem.

"We can have the water ready in no time."

Since neither Dine nor Rain seem to be able to wait, we'll make it quick for them. It's too late to talk about magic now.

"Is that so?　...... Hmm, I don't know what he's going to do, but I'm sure Yuta will do whatever he can. The grimoire is outside. I'll show you."

Jill, you have stopped thinking rather than trusting. This is a business-like relationship ...... not bad.

Jill led me around to the back of the house, where I found a grimoire that belongs to my house in paradise. It has a larger water sucking charm.

I put this magical device on just for the ...... waterfall, right? The waterfall is a very important part of the waterfall.
