Chapter 235: My Home In Various Places

We continue our journey in the carriage just as before after resting by the lakeshore.

And thanks to Eleonora-neesan’s speech and conduct before, something like a magic lecture began inside the carriage, but it was just something very interesting for me so it became a nice way of killing time. Sitting on the other side from such me, is Eleonora-neesan - who seemed to have a headache and found the situation to be tough for her - who is not very good at classroom learning.

And the time when the magic lecture ended will be when the sun outside - seen from the window - starts to go down.

The rattling, moving carriage slowly came to a stop.

And then, Nord-tousan stand up and returned after having a few words with Row-san - who is sitting on the coachman’s seat.

「Okay then, let’s stay here for tonight」

「……I’m finally released from this」

Hearing Nord-tousan’s declaration, Eleonora-neesan says as she looked relieved.

With a slide, her posture collapses and she gazes at the ceiling with a vacant look.

You can see that Eleonora-neesan is exhausted just by seeing her like that. It must be tough for her to have such a slightly difficult lecture.

「Ara, is that so? Then, let’s end the lecture today around here」

「Yay!」

Hearing the word ‘end’ from Elna-kaasan’s mouth, Eleonora-neesan stands up as her previous tired expression on her face vanished as though it was a lie.

Elna-kaasan said 「today」, so the magic lecture will probably continue again in the future. Eleonora-neesan - who is full of joy with the present situation - doesn’t realize it.

Sylvio-niisan and I look at her as if pitying her while Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan directed heartwarming looks to Eleonora-neesan - who made a complete change in her expression.

「Now then, let’s make some preparation so that we can stay here. Securing our surroundings, preparing for our bedding, and dinner. There are a lot of things we have to do」

We are currently in a plain with nothing in it. There are no buildings like the ones in a village here. We are outdoor.

Accordingly, we will be sleeping inside the carriage by staying here. There are also tools like tents in this world, but we won’t need them since we have such a large carriage this time.

Normally, we would pass through villages or towns and stay at the village chief’s house or an inn like when we went to the royal capital, but unfortunately, there are no villages or the like on the first day of our planned journey from Slowlett territory to Sylford territory.

There is actually such a place, though it’s like a small settlement, we couldn’t bring ourselves to go there because we had hardly any relationship with them.

As long as we can get past the distance we need to cover on the first day, we will be able to find villages and towns scattered around the place so there will be no problem. We just need to sleep inside the carriage for one day.

We are not pure nobles and our parents were adventurers after all. There is no one who is selfish among us, so it was decided that we will stay the night inside the carriage as if it was the natural thing to do.

Therefore, first, everyone got off the carriage to check on the surroundings.

The place where we stopped our carriage is plain and has decent space, there are mountains around as if to surround the place.

It’s slightly narrow compared to the plain when we had lunch today and although it can’t be said to be extensive, it’s a place where it looks to be comfortable to stay as the ground is also flat.

「Un, though it’s near the mountain, the grassy field is wide enough. We will not have to worry about monsters coming here so easily if it’s here」

「I’m worried that the insects will increase at night」

It seems like the former adventurers and Dragon Slayer has deemed this place to be safe enough.

I can be assured if he said so. Or rather, with our current members, I don’t have to worry and be scared of monsters.

「Though we are going to stay inside the carriage, it’s quite a fresh experience to stay outside of the mansion」

「This is also my first time sleeping outdoors, so I’m excited!」

Sylvio-niisan and Mina - who were surveying the grassy field - said somewhat cheerfully.

The two of them might say that, but for me, I had experienced it many times back during the journey to Kagura.

If it were only for one day then I won’t complain about it, but I think it would be nice if we can stay in a place as comfortable as the mansion if possible.

Just when I was thinking about such a thing, my shoulder was lightly poked *chonchon* so I turn around.

「Hey, Al. Can you also make that strange house that was in Koryatt village?」

「What do you mean ‘a strange house’?」

I can guess the meaning of Eleonora-neesan’s words of ‘a strange house’, so I deliberately asked back since it was annoying to admit.

Then, Eleonora-neesan’s well-shaped eyebrows lowered, and she impatiently say,

「Come on now, you make that strange house in the forest, didn’t you. The place where Roomba is living. Can you also make a house just like that here?」

「Calling it ‘a strange house’ is rude. Call it My Home」

That place is quite comfortable to live in, you know? It’s also wider than your average house, and there are a lot of rooms. It even has a kitchen, toilet, and bath, and the My Home where Roomba lives even has magic tools installed, you know.

That place is a lot more comfortable and easy to live in compared to most inns.

「The villagers sometimes told me about that, but the buildings that I don’t remember being there were made by Al, right? There are reports in three places, on a plain near the east forest, west forest, in the north forest behind the village……」

Apparently, Nord-tousan knows about the existence of My Home.

Hmm, so he still only found three places, huh. If it’s like that, it can be used as a shelter in an emergency and a place to practice Space magic.

「There are those in the south forest, east mountain, and mountain in the north」

「Eehh!? There is still more?」

「How could it be found out!?」

With Eleonora-neesan’s additional information that she said so calmly, it make not only Nord-tousan surprised, unintentionally, even I got surprised.

Especially the My Home in the east mountain, I have carefully disguised the place so that Eleonora-neesan won’t find it. I built it in a place so even if you look for it from a distance, it should be nearly invisible since there are a lot of trees growing in abundance in that place.

「It’s not ’how could it be found out’! Just how many buildings did you make?」

「U, ummー, it’s just that six, you know?」

「……how many houses have you built」

As I timidly answer them, Elna-kaasan - who heard our conversation - asks that with an astonished tone.

「He’s lying. It hasn’t been found yet, but there’s definitely one in the south and west mountain」

「That’s not true」

I was surprised by Eleonora-neesan’s words that my shoulders were about to tremble but I manage to endure it and hide my agitation.

I mean, she probably thought ‘since there is one in each direction in the forest, there should be one in the mountains too’.

Though it might be no more than a reasonable guess, it feels like I’ve been seen through somehow when Eleonora-neesan said that.

「Why are you building that many houses for?」

Whose fault do you think I made those houses? It was necessary since Eleonora-neesan came and found them at random with her strange perception.

It’s for practicing Space magic, or having some free time…!

I endure the impulse to do a tsukkomi, and tell her a harmless and inoffensive reason.

「It’s to practice Earth magic」

「Even going as far as the mountain?」

「That’s because it’s interesting like building a secret base in that kind of place, you know」

So I say by mixing some truth like usual to Eleonora-neesan who asks all those questions.

Actually, there is a diversion like making it into something secret base-like so it’s the truth.

It’s exciting to be in a place that is only known to yourself. In addition, having a house in a distant place makes you feel like a villa, and imagine yourself as a bourgeois.

「「……hmーm」」

Eleonora-neesan and Elna-kaasan said looking uninterested after listening to my explanation.

What do you mean by ’hmーm’? The actual reason is a bit different from it, but it’s true that I’m pleased with My Home, y’know?

「What the. Both have you have such a cold reaction. Sylvio-niisan and Nord-tousan understand what I feel, right?」

「Err, I don’t quite understand it, I guess? How about Sylvio?」

「Umm, I’m not sure? I mean, we already have a mansion after all so I don’t see a reason why I should create another house outside」

This two, parents and children both have similar wry smiles on their faces.

Good grief, you don’t understand a male instinct. Don’t you know that it’s better to have your own home?

If it were Torr and Asmo, they would sympathize with me at such times.

As I thought that it was unfortunate that they can understand my reason, Mina vigorously raises her hand.

「I understand that feeling! When you made a mistake and got scolded or when you’re feeling guilty over something, it makes you want to escape in your own personal space, right!」

「N, no, that’s not the reason I built them!」

It was already too late even when I hurriedly deny it. Elna-kaasan and Eleonora-neesan make a face as if they understood after seeing my attitude and hearing Mina’s words. And then, they stared at me with gazes that makes me uncomfortable.

It’s really uncomfortable being stared at like that. I feel like I want to immediately escape to My Home.

「Well, I don’t care about that, just make that building if you can do so」

「Fine fine, I know already」

Let’s just make Eleonora-neesan’s room smaller.

With that in mind, I pictured a clear image of My Home where Roomba lives.

Then, after I hold out my hand and cast Earth magic, the ground in front of me intensely rose up.

Floors, walls, roof, and the structure of the minimum and necessary place to live are modeled after the image and I adjust it so that there are no irregular places.

I adjusted it to be slightly smaller than the My Home where Roomba lives, then I put in more magic power and compress them to increase the hardness.

And then I smoothened the angle of the roof and shaped the four sides of the walls with brick patterns.

「I suppose the base is like this」

Naturally, there are no windows, but it’s like a tent for sleeping outdoors. We’re going to demolish it come morning anyway, so it should be fine with this.

「…we’re going to be able to build a fort in a single day if we have Al with us」

「Eleonora, I have to tell you that you can not use Al as a basis for considering things, all right? A normal magician can not build a house with Earth magic after all」

「Eh? Is that so?」

Elna-kaasan said as if to chide Eleonora-neesan after hearing her grumble.

Is that so? I feel like I’ll be able to build something like Misphilt castle in a day, so this is abnormal, huh?

I don’t really know about it because there are too few magicians around me.

When I look in Nord-tousan’s direction, he looks up at the house in blank amazement.

「It’s really a house. It’s Earth magic, so I imagined it to be more unrefined though……」

No matter how used I am to staying at our destination when we travel, I don’t want to sleep in a room that looks like a jail after all. Although I’m going to demolish it soon, I want to make it look like a house at the very least.

「E, eh? It feels like it’s even better than my parent’s house seen from the outside, but I guess it’s just my imagination?」

「「「…………」」」

Mina mutters such a line while having a bewildered expression on her face.

Unconsciously, us nobles have no other choice than to keep silent. Similarly, the villager - Row-san- also looked up at the house with a distant look in his eyes.

I feel bad. Even so, I still want to sleep comfortably.

Apologizing lightly to Mina and Row-san inside my mind, I entered the house to make adjustments to the inside of the house.
