Moving Preparations.

In the end, Len-san immediately returned to the castle, the Prince and I decided to have breakfast.

Seeing me and the Prince eating breakfast together, the innkeeper had a complicated expression for some reason, I ignored him since I didnt understand what it meant.

Finishing breakfast, we headed straight to the guild.

It was exactly at the time in the morning when it was crowded, I asked the usual receptionistonee-san, and was told to go to the second floor.

It seems these kinds of consultations are received on the second floor.

Leaving the crowded first floor, we move to the second floor.

Immediately ascending to the second floor, there was a reception desk.

Good morning. I heard that I could receive information on boarding houses here, but.

I ask the man at the reception while displaying my adventurer card.

Aa, yes. So its Fujino Sakura-san.Ee, are you searching for a boarding house? The only information we have are about the contractors. If you have any requirements we can satisfy in advance, we can introduce you to a contractor.1

This man stiffened for only a moment after seeing my adventurers card, but immediately replied like nothing happened.

Thats right, the first would be a place where I can cook my own food. And also a place with a bath that can be entered anytime would be the best. Although I dont have any particular requirements on the location, if possible, an area with reasonably well public order would be greatne.

Let me see, a place with good public order, which means it would be this contractor. This will substitute as a letter of introduction. As for where this contractor is on the map it should be here. The contractor is called Quintar.

Receiving a wooden tag with the guilds emblem, I confirm the contractors location.

Quintar-sanne. Thank you very much.

I head towards the contractor according to on the map.

Good morning. I received an introduction to this place from the guild.

Its a shop that seems to be remodelled from a small and ordinary one story house, it appears the so-call Quintar is a realtor.

Yes, Welcome, thank you for coming to Quintar. Please allow me to let me verify the letter of introduction from the guild. Yes, certainly. Would you like information regarding boarding houses?2

After receiving the wooden tag from me, the business talk immediately started.

Yes I would like that please. My requirements are to be able to cook, and be able to take a bath anytime. And also a location with a good public order.

Just like in the guild, I convey my desires.

Let me see, perfect, theres an excellent room for our valuedcustomer, butAlthough the price suffers from being slightly higher than the market price, would that be okay?

How much is market price? Since I dont have knowledge in that area

Umm, how much is it?

Yes, its a one month contract for 30 silvers. Although it might feel expensive because the market price is 15~20 silvers, the location is excellent and its a room I can recommend.

30 silvers, thats the rate of ten days at my current inn huh.

Its alright compared to thatne.

As expected, its more expensive to live in an inn.

Id like to look at the room once but, will that be okay?

Yes, theres no problem. Shall we go now?

Of course.

With the real estate agent-san guiding

us, we travel once again.

Its here.

We were guided to a stand-alone two story house with a garden.

Though it looks cosy, it appears to be tightly built with bricks and wood

The location is also close to the Royal Castle, This place is only one street away from the main street.

Well then, Ill guide you inside.

The real estate agent-san unlocks and enters inside.

Is there nobody living in here?

After entering inside, the entrance hall, hallway, living room, kitchen, bath, toilet, and bedroom, it feels very much like an ordinary house.

We continued to be guided to the second floor, but there were only two rooms with a balcony and one room without a balcony.

There was nothing particularly unusual with the rooms, they were very ordinary rooms.

Umm, does nobody live here? Even though the rooms seem very normal?

Id feel troubled unless this question gets answeredne.

Yes, the person who lived in this house before had moved out. Afterwards, it was decided to be used as a boarding house. Because this house is a single boarding house, it doesnt look or feel any different than an ordinary house. The current furniture and et cetera are fine to be used as well.

Then that isnt a boarding house, its a house for rent

How should I put it, its so cheap with 30 silvers

As for the owner of this house, his children are independent and his wife has passed away too. It appears he decided to live together with his child and decided to part with the house. It seems he was an adventurer long ago, it was said he wanted it to be managed as a boarding house for adventurers to use. But then, since that only happened a few days ago, our valuedcustomerhas very good luck.

I see, so there wasnt something in particular that made him part with it.

However, although it feels too spacious to live here alone

But since its a stand-alone house, Im unhesitant, Im very fond of it.3

Even though its small, theres also a garden.

Since theres also furniture, the things I was lacking has been supplemented for so theyve saved me the trouble.

Well then, Ill take this place. When can I move in?

Let me see, since the cleaning up and et cetera will be carried out tomorrow, you can move in the day after tomorrow in the morning.Aa, theres no problem if you bring in your daily life necessities today.

While returning to the store, I listened to an explanation regarding the contract.

With the boarding houses contract completed, we returning to the main street, it seems the Prince will return to the castle.

Its good that you settled on a boarding house without any problems. Well then, Ill be returning to the castle. See you later, Sakura.

Take care too, Prince. About the rumors, please clear the misunderstandings properly, okay?

While the Prince expresses a wry smile at my words, he walks towards the castle.

Now then, it would be bad if I dont buy the necessities Ill need.

Firing myself up again, firstly, Ill return to the inn to bring my rucksack along in order to carry the baggage.

Tableware to kitchen utensils, bed sheets for pillows and blanketsAa, a cleaning magic tool and a bath magic tool is also necessary.

In addition, soaps and face towels, there are many necessary items surprisingly.

Visiting various stores in one day, I purchased the necessary and desired things for my new daily life.

I carried them myself into the new house, for the things I couldnt carry, I had them requested to be delivered in two days time.

Just in case, in order to be safe when I have visitors (although currently I dont have any plans), I had prepared several tableware. I also purchased and prepared two sets of beddings.

Since the furniture was left as it was, Im thankful that I could invest in other things.

With that, the day ends.

On the second day, Ill visit Garam-sans place in the afternoon. Other than that, I plan to look around for seasonings and ingredients. When I think about it, looking around town while shopping like this, isnt this the first time Ive done this since Ive came to this world?

I ask the innkeeper about which have seasonings and ingredients. This kind of information gathering is importantne.

Oh right, because a large refrigerator(-like magic tool) was also left in the boarding house, it helps me out a lot since it can preserve food the same way like in Japan.

Although Ive explained magic tools in the past, their source of power is normally from the remains of magic power within the atmosphere, that is decomposed energy.

Standard magic tools automatically absorb that energy, and converts it into a power source.

However, to keep it running for a long period of time, the current refrigerator lacks a sufficient source of power. And so as a result, a storage for magic power calledMagic stone, a battery so to speak, has to be used. Although thisMagic stonenaturally recovers, the speed increases considerably when a magician is in possession of it. It seems it absorbs the magic power which continuously leaks out from magicians. Although I cant use magic, since I also leak out magic power, I should be able to recover it if Im in possession of it.

While visiting the stores the innkeeper told me about, I bought some seasonings and ingredients.

Its been a long time since Ive cooked, there are various things Id like to eat. Although theres nomisoor soy sauce as expected, theres still vinegar, sugar and et cetera. But then, vinegar is slightly more expensive than brown sugar.

The items I purchased has been requested to be delivered tomorrow morning (it seems because of the large quantity, it was a free service), I ate lunch at a street stall, and now Im heading to Garam-sans store.

From Garam-sans store, first I received the completed katana, afterwards I checked the leather armor thats in the middle of production. Examining it against my body, it was attached on me with string to confirm the size.4

It seems there arent any problems for now.

Itll be completed by tomorrow evening, since it needs to be given to the magic technician, we decided that Ill go try it on if theres enough time.

Hanging the katana that I bought on my waist, I use the remaining time to look for spices and accessories.

While in the middle of shopping, I encountered a pair of knights in the middle of patrolling.

The knights for some reason or another, although I gave a light greeting while we pass each other, from behind after passing5

Oi, its that girl, from that rumorEh? No matter how you look at it is it really that child?

those kinds of voices were heard.

When I looked over my shoulder, the knights from just now were looking at me.

Just as I was thinking what is it?, the knights immediately went somewhere else.

Although I was slightly bothered, since nothing came to mind, I decided to forget about it.

I purchased several spices and glass bottles and completed todays shopping.

Since Im finally in an environment where I can cook, Id like to make my own fluffy bread and eat it.

I can make apple yeast and use it to make the bread.

While recalling of the process, I bought an apple and some sugar.

I began to make yeast immediately at the inn.
