Arriving in the land of the dead, I hurriedly built a birdhouse for the guavard. Now I need to set up my home and arrange the furniture inside. And then the feast. I've been busy since I got back.

I took Belle and Gina, who were training, to the spirit tree. As expected of Sylphy, she works fast.

Yuta, they are all waiting for you! Let's get the new house ready and have a party soon!

Deanne is thrilled. I guess she's more interested in the banquet than the house, but it's good to have fun, isn't it?

"We'll have the feast after we've arranged the furniture and finished dinner," she says.

I'd rather not have a party in front of the children. Belle and the kids are especially interested in Sylphy and the others because they look like they're drinking well. We can't let Belle and her friends get into the habit of drinking.

"Eww..."

You can't just puff out your cheeks. It would be too sad if Belle and her friends chugged down a pint of ale and said, "Phew!"

"Deanne, your complaining here will only delay the banquet time, be patient. Yuta, there's a girl who can't wait to see you, so please hurry up."

"Ha-ha, all right."

Sylphy smiles and tells him to hurry up. Well, Nomos and Dolly are waiting too, so let's hurry up.

"Tamamo, I need you to move the lawn from here to here to the dirt part over there, can you do it? Also, I want Tulu to fix up the ground because I'm going to put the house where I moved it."

When I asked, Tulu and Tamamo consulted with each other and said, "We can do it," "Cooooo!

When Tumamo cried "coooooooo", the lawn started to move. What is going to happen? As I watched excitedly, the grass put its leaves on the ground and came out of the ground with its roots as if it were stepping on the ground.

All the grass in the area I specified pulls its roots out of the ground by itself and starts to walk toward the place I specified, dexterously moving its roots. ...... is surreal. If there is a panic movie like a lawn uprising, I think it could be used for the opening.

The anger of the lawns that have been trampled and mowed down has exploded. Humans, feel our wrath! Something like ...... doesn't sound very scary. I don't know much about panic movies, but this one will probably get scrapped.

When the lawns reach their destinations, they root themselves into the ground and stand there quietly, as if they were there from the beginning. Gina and the others who see them are making a big fuss about how great they are. It is indeed an amazing sight to see the lawn walking.

A tamamo jumps into my arms with a "coo". I think it's telling me it's done and it wants me to praise it. I'm giving it lots of compliments and stroking it. Hmm? Tulu flew in front of me.

"Tulu, what's wrong?"

"I want you to put some dirt over there. If you harden it, it will sink."

I see, the grass is gone, and the ground sinks when it is compacted. With Tulu's instructions, I take out from the magic bag the amount of soil that Tulu has indicated. Tulu nodded and put his right hand out in front of him, and the raised soil sank down to the same height as the ground around him.

"It's done."

"Thank you, Tulu."

He pats his head and thanks him.

"Well, I'm going to build you a new house."

Tulu takes the house out of the magic bag in the place he cleared for us. ...... Now that you mention it, taking a house out of a bag is fantasy.

As I take out the house, I hear Gina's surprised voice. Everyone else knows about it, so it's normal, but it's kind of nice to have someone else's surprise.

"Okay, let's go inside and set up the furniture. Gina, you'll have to change into these slippers because there are no shoes allowed inside. I'll show you around the house as I place the furniture.

"Oh, yeah, okay."

Place a sofa, a table, and a chest of drawers in the living room. Sylphy, Dine, and Dolly give us instructions on how to arrange the furniture. I'm not so sure about my sense of style, but they are very particular about it.

The furniture was also ordered by Sylphy and her friends, and it seems that they had already decided in their minds how to arrange the furniture in the new house. I wonder what kind of a great spirit is obsessed with furniture arrangement, but maybe he is practicing for when he makes his own room. If they designate it as a sanctuary, we'll have to build a big house.

Gina looks at the inside of the house with interest, and I understand a little more about how people feel when they finish their own homes and invite people over. It's pretty nice to get compliments, isn't it? After showing the first floor and arranging the furniture, we move to the second floor.

"The last one is my room, right? There are four other rooms, so it's possible for each of us to have our own room, but are you sure Sarah, Marco, and Kikka can share the same room?"

Yes, it's a big room, and it's enough. I feel more comfortable with you.""I feel safer with you too.

In the slum, Sara and Marco and the others had been separated, but they seemed to have gotten used to living together.

"I get it. But when they get older, they will want their own room, so don't hesitate to tell me when that happens.

"Yes, I'll ask you then.

Kikka is happy to be in the same room with me. Hmmm, how old was I when I wanted my own room? I think I wanted my own room when I was around Sarah's age, but the bond between the three of us is strong, so maybe a room together is enough for a while.

Well, I didn't expect the three of them to be together, but I thought Marco and Kikka would be in the same room, so there should be no problem. We will see when Marco hits puberty.

...... Speaking of which, what am I supposed to do when Sara and the others start to rebel? I'm sure I'll cry if someone says something annoying to me. I hope there is no rebellion in the other world.

With a slight fear of the future, I asked Sarah and the others which room they wanted, and they chose the one in front of me. Now all that's left to do is to set up the furniture.

"Master, the bed you've been using will be enough.

Sara says apologetically. There's no need to be, but I tell her not to be shy with these girls, but she's not.

"You have to leave your old bed in the house," she says. That house will be used for dungeons and dangerous places, so we can't lose the bed."

Come to think of it, we need Gina's bed in the original house too. I'll buy one when I go to the labyrinth city. With Sara's approval, we set up the furniture in the room. A bed, a desk, and three chest of drawers. ...... It's a big room, but it feels a bit small indeed. And it's a bit cramped since it's only for the essentials.

I'll put up the toys I bought at the grocery store. ...... Well, it's a little better now. I'll give them an allowance for the rest and let them go shopping on their own.

Also, I just realized we don't have curtains. I thought I had everything I needed in the labyrinth city, but I guess I'm still missing some things. I'll make a note of what is missing, including Gina's bed.

"So this is what it's going to look like, are you and Sarah going to be okay?"

It's more than enough, it's spacious, it's clean, it's perfect, master! Kikka, I love this room!"

Sarah and the others are smiling and don't seem to be holding back. For the time being, we'll keep the room as it is and move it when Sarah and the others are older. I'm a little afraid of which one of them, Sarah or Marco, will want a room all to themselves first .......

Okay, I guess I'll just stay here for now. Let me know if you need anything."

Yes, okay! Yeah."

"Well, let's choose Gina's room next. Where do you want it?"

"Can I choose one too?"

"Yeah, anywhere you want, except the backmost room."

"Hmmm, next to Sarah's room then!"

That was an easy decision. I would have liked you to see a little more of the interior of the rooms and choose one, but ...... well, all the rooms are the same except for mine. I guess the view from the window is different no matter which room you choose.

I move to the next room and arrange the furniture according to Gina's instructions. Well, if I use the room by myself, the room is too dreary with only this furniture. Well, Gina is an adult, and it would be fun to buy some things by herself.

"Gina, I know it's a bit drab, but you can decorate the room as you like.

"Decorate my room? It's nice enough as it is, don't you think?"

Why Gina? He's looking at me with a "what's wrong with you? I'm looking at you like, "Why? I want to say. Girls are obsessed with their rooms, aren't they? I'm not saying it should be a pretty room with pink everywhere, but try to make it a girlish room, not a drab one. Let's try to persuade them to be particular about their rooms.

If she is interested in her room, she might be interested in her clothes, and then she might develop a girly language. She is a beautiful girl with a nice body. I hope you will make the most of your specs.

Gina, Sara, Marco, Kikka, if these girls start to play an active role, they may become more popular than Valkyrie. With beautiful girls and pretty girls, we can attract male audience. Now if Marco will do his best to attract the female audience, the name of the strongest spiritist will spread. ...... If you like shorties, I think you can still go for it. ....... No, we have to think of a way to talk them out of this nonsense.

......Girls are supposed to decorate their rooms! But they won't be convinced. Besides, in Japan, it is a word that might make people feel uncomfortable to say that they are prejudiced against women. Hmmm, what do you have?

"......Yes. I have the bare necessities of life in this room. But it's also the bare minimum. I think the spirits will be happy to see a room that is clean and pleasant.

Gina may seem self-conscious, but she tends to have a soft spot for small children, as she did for Sarah and the others. She will ask her contracted spirits if they have any questions and will put a lot of effort into her room. 

"Do spirits care about their rooms?"

Gina tilts her head curiously. Genie feels like they're just flying around. If we communicate well with them, they will understand that.

"The spirits I have a contract with are like that. If Gina makes a contract with a spirit, she should communicate with that spirit a lot and make a room that Gina and the spirit can enjoy, it will be good training and fun.

"I see... I'll give it my best shot then."

Gina smiles and shows her motivation. I'm inwardly gut-punching myself. Now it's up to Gina and the spirit to make a contract. I'll ask Sylphy for a girl who likes to be merry.

"Yeah, good luck with that. Then let's make rooms for Belle and the others..."

"Can I have your room?" "Coo-coo-coo, can I have your room?" Koo koo koo."

As I said this, the belles heard my words and came charging at me. I calm them down by soothing them as they cling to me.

"That's right. Yes, you and Belle and Fukuchan will all be in the same room. Is that okay?"

"Yes, I'm so happy to see you in your room.

I move from room to room, leaving the belles in a good mood and equipped with their equipment. I'll put the belles in the room next to mine.

"I'll put the belles' room here. I'll put the furniture in here in a minute."

We set up the furniture in the room in the same way as the others, and decorate it with balls, dolls, etc. that we bought at the general store. I can't imagine that Belle and her friends will use the desk and the chest of drawers, let alone the bed, but I think they will be more pleased if they look the same as the others.

"Yes, it's done. From now on, if you find anything that Belle and her friends want to put in their rooms, please let me know. This is their room, so they can decorate it with whatever they like. But don't make a mess. And clean up after you play with your toys. Okay?"

"Yes!" "Cooooo!" "Clean up is important!" "Cooooo!"

That's a very good answer. I can't imagine how they'll use it, but I'm glad we made a nursery for them. Now all that's left to do is to hurry up and put the furniture in my room, then dinner, then the party.
