Chapter 44 – Three Storey House
When I returned home, Skor and Alfred greeted me and were worried about me. I realized I was a bit late.
“I’m sorry, both of you.”
“Rasty-san, I was very worried… Wait, Havamar-san. Is she okay!?”
“Yeah, she’s just tired. I’ll let her stand up now.”
“R-really? That’s good.”
I put Havamar down from my back.
“Thank you, big brother.”
“Don’t worry about it. More importantly, Alfred. You’re crying too much.”
A butler was crying in front of me.
I appreciated his concern for me.
“I’m sorry… Young Master. I was so worried.”
“I’m sorry. But I’ve gotten stronger, too, so I won’t die that easily.”
“Yes, Young Master has grown remarkably since coming to this island. You’ve become so strong… I’m happy. Those tears were tears of emotion.”
Really, whether it’s being overly worried or overprotective… But well, I’m happy that he’s so loyal to me.
We then sat down at the table and had our meal.
“Today is also “wild boar meat”!”
Skor had already grilled the meat and put it on a “large leaf”. A substitute for a plate? I see, this is a good idea.
It can’t be helped that there’s no variety in the dishes. I’ve learned the worktable, but I still haven’t been able to obtain the all-important ‘iron’. I need to turn iron ore into iron… I’ll do the work tomorrow.
“Well, wild boar meat has a taste that grows on you.”
“Yes, it’s very juicy.”
Even Alfred, who is old, likes it. However, we couldn’t be too picky with our food right now, and this meal is already enough. I want to make it more luxurious soon.
“Skor, Alfred, listen. I’ll make cooking utensils tomorrow.”
““Oh!””1both Skor and Alfred said this at the same time.
They were both thrilled.
I explained how we had gone to the cave dungeon earlier and obtained “iron ore”. They were both amazed.
“My big brother’s performance was wonderful. He even managed to eliminate an advanced-level monster called ‘Executioner’ that even Holy Knights have trouble dealing with.”
“What did you say!?”
Alfred stood up from his chair with a jerk. He was so surprised.
“What’s wrong, Alfred?”
“No, um… Rasty-sama. Executioner is a formidable enemy that takes three Holy Knights to defeat. Did you really defeat it?”
“…Eh”
Wait, seriously!?
An Executioner was as strong as three Holy Knights? No wonder my hands went numb. Heck, If I had been hit by that giant sword, I would have taken a lot of damage. Oi oi, don’t make me fight such an enemy, my little sister!
I’m glad I was able to defeat it!
But still!! (tears)
“…aha, ahaha…”
Havamar laughed and tried to brush it off.
She’ll be punished later.
“By the way, the house has become quite luxurious.”
Looking around, the interior had also changed. It was clearly more spacious and the ceiling had become higher.
“Yes, Rasty-sama had the house extended.”
“Well, the house has leveled up. But, I haven’t really checked it out. Skor, how is the house?”
“Yes, before I knew it, it had become a three-story building! And the hallway seems to have gotten longer too…”
It seems that the number of rooms has also increased. We could make some of them into storage rooms or something. The number of toilets has also increased, and the bath has become larger. It’s almost like a noble’s mansion now.
Also, it seems that the house has been strengthened with bricks and has increased resistant to natural disasters.
