158-Chapter 10-3 Heaven and Hell

Phew ... enjoyment.

After releasing Lamb I, Chris sat down in his chair with a satisfied look on his face and drank his completely cold green tea. He glanced over and saw Aina pulling Aura, whom he had caught at some point, to the end of the corridor, but naturally he pretended not to see her.

'By the way, Temma-kun. What's that girl's name?

The one Chris was catching earlier was 'Mary' and the one sleeping in the bag was 'Allie' "There's another one! I say....　

Before he could finish, Mr. Chris went to get the bag that Mary was in. Then, after being released by Mr. Chris, Merry abandoned Allie and made a mad dash to leave the place...

Come on out.

Huh?　

Allie, who was sleeping in the bag, was caught when she heard Chris's words and came out honestly and was muffled. The only difference with Mary is that Chris-san's tension was a little calmer, and Allie didn't get upset when Chris-san muffed her. By the way, I didn't think that Ally's guy would try to sleep while being mocked.

As for his name, he couldn't call himself Lamb I and II; he took it from a famous nursery rhyme and the Aries sign of Aries. 'Allie is a girl-like name, but with 'Ali' it looks like a boxer, and I think it suits her because she has a more mature personality than the girl Mary.

"I was thinking with Mary, too, how fluffy they are,

But after coming back to the house, they were washed with shampoo and rinse, and as a result of washing them, they have become very soft and shiny coats. By the way, the ground is white, and in the dark, it looks like a pure white face is floating in the air.

''Well I'd better get to work now. Chris-san, please take your time.

Now that we've officially got the rights to the land next door, it's time to start the land clearing process. I had planned to start on it as soon as I received the paperwork, but thanks to Chris's outbursts, the timing of getting started was off.

'Since we're going to be here, I'll go take a look.

I was surprised to see Chris, who was supposed to go into the mooching heaven with Allie and the others, unexpectedly said he would follow me... and then I saw him standing up with Allie in his arms. And with Shiroumaru behind him, holding the dimension bag that Mary has escaped from, he seems to be enjoying his mofo heaven outside.

'Shall I help you with that?'

Well, I'm here to help.

"Hang in there.

Jeanne hurriedly offered to help as me and my grandfather were going to work. I guess Amour doesn't like the idea of being the only one left.

As it was, we all headed outside with everyone else and saw Aura being lectured by Aina while sitting upright in the corner of the corridor. Of course, we all turned a blind eye to it. Because they were all afraid of an angry Aina.

'For now, give me instructions on what to do.

'Let's see, I want Grandpa to tear down all the walls that were bordering the area. Jeanne and Amour, I want you to clean up the wall that Grandpa broke while giving instructions to the golems. When you're cleaning it up, put it all together, separated by material.

You understand.

Okay.

Okay.

I said what I wanted each of us to do and I jumped over the fence and began to preview the new lot. As far as I could tell, it was about the same size as the one where our mansion is located, and it was a rectangular piece of land, just like our house. So it would be easy to clear the land. The problem was to dispose of the trash and the cobblestones, the garden stones and the trees that had been placed for decoration.

We can tear it all down and bury it in the ground, but we also want to build a field and a playground for the jubees, so we'll have to take it out one by one.

Fortunately, I have several large capacity magic bags, so I don't have to worry about where to put them. When I first decided to do it, Grandpa, who had just finished breaking down the fence, came over to me.

'It's done!'

Just as well. First we're going to remove the debris from the mansion and the rocks and trees in the yard. As I said before, most of the land over here is going to be used as grazing land for Joubert and his friends, so I want to collect all of it as much as possible.

I understand. Well, let's get some golems in here, shall we?

'Yes. And, in that order, I think I'll go with the remnants of the mansion, the trees in the garden, and the garden stones and cobblestones, in that order.

Hmm, what do you plan to do about the basement of the house?

I'd like to recover the basement floor and walls and, if possible, dig up the foundation.

Well, not completely. All we have to do now is pack up all the garbage and put it in a magic bag.

So, please. I'll go through it and then I'll sort it into the ones I can use and the ones I can't.

We had a quick meeting and then we each started working from the other side. I had the few golems I'd called in to help gather up everything that was big enough to hold, while Grandpa and I used our magic (...) to dismantle things that weren't big enough to hold (pillars, burned out walls, etc.). Occasionally we'd get carried away and smash some walls with our fists and kicks, but we just kept getting more and more small pieces, so we sealed it off from the middle.

"Looks like it's mostly cleared up,

All right, let's get the basement cleaned up.

According to the floor plan we were given, the basement had two rooms, which were used as a storage room and food storage. To prevent theft of valuables and intrusion of rats, the entrance and walls of the basement are thickly built, and the drains are also fitted with sturdy fences.

''Well, if you can use a certain amount of magic, it's almost as if it doesn't exist.

The neighbor didn't seem to think that anyone could break into the basement, or that they hadn't considered defending against magic. Well, it doesn't look like they didn't put much stuff in there to begin with, but considering that they were able to protect it from the fire, it may have been the right decision in the end... but now it's just a hindrance.

The floor was left untouched and the walls were removed. The remaining holes will be filled in with dirt from the meadow or forest.

I'm sure that's all well and good, but I'm concerned about the bugs in the ground.

Would you like me to burn it in the dimension bag before I bring it back?

You're right. Burning them in King's Landing is bad for many things.

I don't think my grandfather and I would cause a jumping fire or anything like that if we used magic in King's Landing, but there's no such thing as an absolute, and using a fire in the remains of a fire would make the residents around us more anxious.

I don't want to burn too much in the bag, but it's the safest way to heat up a large amount of dirt, so it could ruin the bag, but it's not an option. Well, I've got a spare spare one, so we can use that.

Are you going soon?

'I will. If I go now, I'll be able to come back in the evening or so.

The forest is where I went hunting with Jin and the others. That time we found and hunted a ground dragon, an event that was unprecedented in the vicinity of the royal capital, but I don't think something like that would happen twice in a short period of time, and since I have some familiarity with the land, I'll be able to gather them more efficiently than going to other forests.

''Then I'll follow you!

Suddenly, Amur jumped out from behind me, he said that most of the work over there was done and he came to help us.

Hmmm........well, okay.

At first I was going to use 'flying' on my own to focus on speed. However, I decided that if I put Amur on Raiden and I flew at that speed, even if it took more time to go and return, the total time would be the same if we could shorten the work in the forest.

'The rest is Slarin, Solomon and Shiroumaru...'

Slarin and Solomon had no problem with Slarin and Solomon as they came after Amur, but there was an extra person at Shiroumar's back. Mr. Chris.

Instead of straddling Shiroumaru's back, Chris-san was hugging him on his back and enjoying Shiroumaru's fur with his entire body.

'You can't do that Shiroumaru.......don't ask me to stay.

Gau....

Shiroumaru seemed sad that he couldn't follow me, but he couldn't shake off Chris-san, who was always so loving to him, and he seemed to have given up crying. Chris didn't even notice what I said, or that Shiroumaru had walked away, and was tripping on Shiroumaru's back... To Chris, Fluffy Fluff is like a drug with a hallucinogenic effect. Ummm....

I asked my grandfather to take care of the rest and we headed for the forest as soon as possible.

On the way to the forest, we arrived without any problems, except that Amur was complaining about not being able to ride with me on Raiden.

'Well then, Amur will take a few golems and ask them to collect the soil. I'll ask for about half of the dimension bag I left with you, and I don't care if there's grass in the mix, just go for the gunk. Solomon and Raiden will be on perimeter alert while Amur gathers the soil. Slarin, follow me.

Okay.

Cui!

I instructed Amur and the others and we parted at the entrance to the forest.

'Well then, we'll gather some humus.

One of the reasons I came to the forest was because I wanted to collect humus. I wanted to make a garden while growing pepper and chili anyway.

However, we don't want to have any strange bugs in the humus, either. If it's only a beetle, there's no problem, but there's a possibility that centipedes and other insects may be hiding in the soil, so we have to kill them. However, if we kill the insects by burning it, the drainage of the humus might be damaged, so we are going to freeze it to kill the insects.

'I'll collect the humus on my end, Slarin, you can collect the worms.　

Having said that, I handed Slarin a shovel, a ninja rake and a bucket. If you only look at the gear, it's the kind of equipment you're going to be tide hunting with now. Or a fisherman collecting fishing bait.

Slarin with his tide fishing equipment took a few golems with him and started digging at the base of trees and under stones.

"Maybe I should get on with mine.

As soon as we started, we moved a little farther away from the slalines, who were searching for worms one after another, and we used our foot senses to find the decaying soil.

The way to collect it was simple: step on it with your foot and look for a fluffy spot, then lightly dig with your toe and if it's humus, have the golem collect the soil in the indicated area. The strategy was that I would look for a place and have the golem dig and repeat the process to collect the leaf litter.

Even if I couldn't get a lot of humus in one place this way, I could still collect it at a fast pace because of the efficiency of the rotation.

'So much for that, we're ahead of schedule.

About an hour after it began. The humus collected by the golems filled nearly half of the dimension bag. I don't know the exact amount, but it must be lightly over a ton or so.

''Alright, right away, 'Blizzard'

I unleashed the magic that once froze the Gs in Seigen's dungeon in Seigen's dungeon at the rotten soil I'd thrown into the dimension bag. Along the way, I stopped the magic several times and had the golem turn over the top and bottom of the humus, freezing the entire area evenly. If I let the rest of it go like this, the vermin and others would die. Well, the worms and other beneficial insects would die along with the pests, but the worms are not a problem since I've let Slarin collect them.

''That's fine on my end, but Slarin........''

When I finished my portion of the work, I looked in the direction Slarin was headed and saw a glimpse of a golem at a much greater distance.

When he approached with that golem as a landmark, he found Slarin there, who had collected a bucketful of worms.

''You've collected quite a lot... I'm used to worms with fishing bait and such, but when you gather this many, you don't pull it off...''

I apologize to Slarin for sticking it out and collecting it, but the sight of the worms wriggling around, which seemed to be thousands of quicksilver worms, was quite shocking.

Although there are too many of them, considering the size of the land, I don't think a few thousand worms would be a problem, so I made a few boxes with earth magic and divided the worms appropriately. I left enough air holes that even worms can't get through, so it should last long enough to get back to the mansion.

I put the nuclei of the golems I had been walking with so far back into my bag and moved to Amur and the others with Slarin in my arms.

''Well, Amur........well, if we follow these traces (........), we'll be able to meet them without having to use the 'search'.

When I arrived at the point where I left Amur, I found a series of traces in the ground that looked like they had been dug up. It was definitely the mark made by Amur and the golems.

''Cui~!

We followed the trail for a few hundred meters, and then Solomon, who had found us, literally swooped in.

Oh, Temma.

Following Solomon, Amur came along, scrambling through the grass. From behind him, the golems that he had deposited with them are lining up one after another and coming towards us.

''Hm.''

Amur opened the mouth of the dimension bag he had deposited and showed me the soil inside.

There was more soil in the bag than I had expected, more than three-quarters of the bag's capacity. Roughly five tons of it?

It's quite a lot, but I'll make it work. Thanks.

I thanked Amur and I decided to disinfect the soil as soon as possible. However, even if I burned it with magic as it was, only the surface of the soil would catch fire, so I made a large hole in the center with soil magic first. I put crushed wood that had been drained of moisture (which I recovered while doughing up the neighboring land) and charcoal into it and used fire magic against it.

After several rounds of fire magic, the fire grew and the charcoal began to turn a reddish color. As he did so, a large amount of smoke flooded out of the bag, so he used wind magic to disperse it. This was to prevent others from seeing the smoke and mistaking it for a fire.

At the same time as using wind magic, I also prepared to use water magic at any time so that the bag itself would not burn. We've got to be prepared to use water magic at all times so that we don't burn the bag itself, even if the mouth of the bag is closed.

Just to be sure, we kept our distance from the bag on the ground and passed the time, watching for any danger.

After roughly two hours or so, the fire in the bag spontaneously went out and the bag itself did not have any problems other than soot and discoloration.

This is a dimension bag that I was prepared to dispose of, but I can still use this one. At the most, the smell of dirt and burning is so strong that Shilomar and his friends, not to mention Slarin, would not want to go in it, and they would not want to put food and other things in it, so from now on, it will only be used for things that can get dirty.

It's time to go home and look for Amur and the others (Amur, bored with sitting still and waiting, was running around in the meadow with Solomon astride Raiden), and Amur and Solomon are chasing around a horn rabbit on a rolling hill. For some reason, Raiden was running through the meadow alone, separated from the others.

''Ooh, we're about to go home!

Solomon responded to my voice and flew straight at me, stopping his pursuit of the horned rabbit. Amur's reaction was delayed, and he was well behind Solomon.

'Temma, I've got the horn rabbit!'

The dimension bag held out by Amur, who came late, contained ten horned rabbits. However, with apologies to the boastful Amur and the others, the sight of ten horned rabbits hanging from what looked like a wooden clothesline with blood pouring out of their necks suddenly caught my attention, so I looked away and closed the bag without a second thought.

'Maybe we can use it for dinner tonight.'

After saying that much, I started to prepare for the trip home. Well, when I say prepare to leave, it should only take a few minutes as I just need to make sure I haven't forgotten anything and then call Raiden. As soon as I call out his name in a loud voice, Raiden comes running up to me, the ground shaking in response to my call. For some reason, his face was tinted red........

Raiden....

As he approached, Raiden flipped his body in front of me and tapped the ground with his paw hooves, as if he wanted to lead me somewhere.

'All right, just wait a minute Slarin, please.'

When I was about to step over Raiden's back, my palms were covered in a sticky red-colored liquid. I smelled it, and it seemed to be blood. I asked Slarin to clean up Raiden's face, body and other parts of Riden's body, since the crotch area would be covered in blood if this was the case.

''Well, now that you're ready, show me around.

Go!

As soon as I straddled Raiden's back, Amour also got on behind me. Amur is small and Raiden is big, so there's no problem if you just want to ride. If there's one thing, it's that the saddle is for one person, so it's dangerous to run.

If you run at full speed, there was a risk of Amur tumbling down, but the place you want to go seems to be close to here, and Raiden started running at about the speed of a gallop.

It seems that the destination was close about two to three minutes into the run, and Raiden began to slow down.

What I could see from above Ryden's back were several lizards that had been cut in half. When you hear the word "lizard" you might think of something small, but the size of the lizards that were cut in half, one of them was lightly over a meter long.

When I got down from Raiden and looked it up in 'Appraisal', it seems to be a demon called a Sougen monitor lizard. Its rank is C, and from the looks of it, it probably attacks with its sharp claws, large fangs, and a thick tail. The girth of a large individual is over two meters, brown in color and rough like shark skin.

''Is it edible?''

It was resilient like the parent bird in the sense that I touched it, and although it seemed to be hard, it seemed to be able to eat it. The skin seemed to be reasonably strong, so there would be some use for it.

When I retrieved everything, Raiden happily stood up on his hind legs alone. He stood up so suddenly that Amur, who was on his back, almost fell off for a moment, but he managed to keep his balance and avoid falling off the horse.

'Raiden, look out!'

He stood up suddenly, and Amour protested by hitting Raiden on the neck, but on the contrary, he seemed to have hurt his fist, and was fumbling his reddened fist with his opposite hand. In contrast, Raiden didn't seem to feel anything and was unconcerned.

'Anyway, let's go home.

If I don't get home soon, I might be late for my scheduled return to the compound. The work of rolling the soil will have to wait until tomorrow, but I'd like to at least finish dismantling the horned rabbit and the Sougen's monitor lizard by the end of the day. Preferably before dinner.

So, on the way back, we looked at a higher speed than we were going, but Raiden and Solomon were able to follow us with no problem. Amur was a bit of a close call, but he managed to get to the royal capital in one piece, gripping the grip that was attached to the front of Raiden's saddle. We ended up arriving at the mansion just before dark, and Aina and the others were about to start cooking. So we hurriedly dismantled two horned rabbits and decided to cook beside Aina and the others.

The dish we were going to make was fried rabbit. This one can be lightly seasoned and dusted with flour and fried, so you can make a quantity in a short time.

"It's ready to go!

Chris was the first to get his hands on the dinner that had been laid out. He was followed closely by Amur, and then Aura. However, Aura was pissed off at Aina right after that, so it was the second-to-last one (and last one was Aina) who was able to actually put the fried food in her mouth.

The fried food was gone in the blink of an eye, and Chris and Amour demanded more, but since we used all the dismantled horned rabbit, we couldn't meet their demands.

After dinner, I dismantled the remaining horned rabbit and stored it in my magic bag, ready to be fried at any time, and while I was taking a break before I started dismantling the sougen monitor lizard, I found Aina dragging Chris-san to the front door.

Chris-san is wrapped up in a rope and muzzled and unable to move or speak, and if I hadn't known about their relationship and not in our house, I would have definitely ruled him a kidnapper.

'Aina, what did Chris-san do to you?'

When Aina noticed me, she bowed her head lightly and then began to explain her current situation.

''I'm about to bring her home because she said in her sleep that she's going to live here from today and make a mofo heaven. So I just tied it up with a rope so that it would be easy to carry around, even for me, who is impotent.　

Hearing those words, I turned my attention to Chris-san and his eyes were blatantly swimming. The right action I should take there is, of course........

'I'll lend you a small carriage and a golem, so be careful on your way home. Also, give my regards to Mr. Dinh (...).

The idea is to help us move Chris and bring him home as quickly as possible. I'll have Mr. Dinh tipped me off when he gets here.

Thank you, Mr. Dinh. I'll make sure Mr. Dinh is properly informed of what happened today.

Aina also (...) understood exactly what I meant and promised to report to Din-san. Of course, Chris-san also seemed to understand what I meant, and he suddenly started shaking his head violently. That's already going to hurt the muscles in my neck, isn't it? It was so intense that I was worried about it.

I followed them to the front door and saw Aina and Chris off as they were being taken down, and then I quickly dismantled the Sougen's lizard.

Fortunately, there were many of them, but because they were cut in half, I didn't have to worry too much about their quality, as I could cut their heads and legs off and scrape out their guts, then make a slit in their bodies and crunch their skins. I had saved the internal organs after removing the demon nucleus, but as a result of investigating them at a later date, I found out that they were useless for either food or medicinal purposes, so I burned them all together.

Speaking of later, Chris hadn't seen him in ten days since that day. I thought it was strange that we had a new furry friend, but it seemed that Aina had reported to Mr. Din that day that Chris had been trained so severely that he couldn't come to our house, and when he next came to visit, he had been completely forgotten by Allie, who should have been relatively friendly to him. It was a hell of a ride.
