”Let’s go check out the house!”
Alvin said this with only a week remaining before the upper-intermediate rank exam.
They had just discussed the party’s plan to stop taking quests and prepare for the exams by training and resting.
The five of them, including Emily, had already discussed the possibility of renting a house together and had decided to do so.
”If we’re going to be away from the quest for a while, it might be best to take a look around now, right?”
”Is it? So, what kind of house do you think would be good for us?”
Alvin looks around at everyone.
”First of all, we’ll need at least five private rooms, right?”
”The water supply has to be good”
”We’ll need a yard so we can wield our weapons outside!”
”Wait, wait, wait. I’ll write it down now”
Shinji wrote down what the women were saying.
After much discussion of this and that, they came to a conclusion.
”A place with more than eight rooms, a large yard, fully equipped bathrooms, a safe area, and a wide street in front of it...”
”Is there? Is there such a place?”, Shinji made a face.
”Let’s just ask around”
”Yeah, let’s ask around”
The question seemed to have occurred to all of them, but since it didn’t cost any money to just ask, they decided to ask.
After Alvin and Renka’s words, they all left their seats and went to the guild’s consultation counter to make inquiries.
”There are several of them. You can see it from out there. You’ll need to make an appointment to view them, but... those in the higher parties can also visit them directly”
(((There is it...)))
Alvin and the others had the same thought. However, once they heard the reason, they understood.
It was said to be a property owned by a wealthy merchant or aristocrat who had given it up for some reason or another, and it was still there. The inside was simply cleaned and managed by the guild.
She said that these empty houses are perfect for people like Alvin and his friends who want to use them as party houses.
”It is common for aristocrats and merchants to demolish and rebuild the buildings themselves after purchasing them. If the buildings are still there, they can be rented out, so when they are sold, the buildings are still there”
”The room closest to the exit will be the guest room, so we’ll start after that”
””Okay (Understand)””
They are like brother and sister.
Alvin and Emily went into the second and third rooms while Shinji, Milis and Renka began to discuss the room assignments.
”We’ll also need a cafeteria and a storage room, right?”
”Yes. And if we fill it the private rooms, we’ll only have one room left...”
”We’ll hire a servant to live in the house, so I guess we’ll call it a servant’s room. That’ll make the room full”
The servant will be in charge of the building while they’re away.
One person came to mind, that was trustworthy, understanding of the adventuring business, good at housework, and preferably a familiar face.
The person to whom Renka had sent the letter was Akane, whom she had left in the desert city.
After discussing it with her, they decided to check Akane’s reply and if it didn’t work out, they would go through the guild and ask them to arrange someone.
(It’s easier to do things if Akane is in charge)
Shinji is thinking bad thoughts inside.
The first room at the back of the house was to be used as a storage room, and Shinji, wrote down on a piece of paper a possible arrangement of Shinji, Renka, the servant’s room, the dining room, Milis, Emily, Alvin, and the guest room.
”So, when do we start living here?”
”I think it could be any time, as long as it’s furnished”
”Are these room assignments correct?” Shinji handed the paper to Alvin, who had returned.
”It’s okay!” Alvin said, handing the paper to Emily as well. Emily looked at it and nodded.
”Let’s all go to the furniture store at noon!”
”I think there are delivery deadlines... I hope we can find the right furniture”
”What should we get!”
The women were ready to go shopping.
Shinji and Alvin looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This is going to be a long shopping trip... they guessed.
That day, Shinji and Alvin would be dragged around by Renka and the others until nightfall.
