After seeing off the spirits who came to play, we departed for the labyrinth city. This time we had a little time to spare, so Belle and Gina and the others were excited to see us.
"Yuta, we're almost there. Are you going to stop by Marie's?"
"Well, we left late, so this time we're going straight to Torque's lodge. Marie's grocery store is tomorrow.
"What about ordering a house?"
I guess I'll order the house tomorrow. After I visit Marie's general store, Mel's workshop, and the Adventurer's Guild? But Dineh and If were very excited about it, so I'll be there as soon as I can to place the order."
Unless something goes wrong, it shouldn't take too long and we can get everything done tomorrow.
"Yes, that's fine. I was a little worried that you might get sulky if I kept you waiting too long.
"Ha, you were very enthusiastic at the meeting last night, and you told me when we left, so I understand."
Especially Dineh, she was so excited. She even got Saffy involved in the meeting. Saffy had to check on her own inn, so she seemed to be working at full capacity.
"Yuta, when you order a house, be sure to call your sister. Sis, I've thought hard about it and I'll explain it to you!
Then, he clenched his fists and made a strong speech. Maybe I'll be the interpreter for the other questions, like when he drew my portrait.
He also said he wanted to order some furniture, so I think it's going to be hard work. And I'm worried about whether Jill will understand me, since she has a very different way of thinking from the house ...... that Sylphy and her friends thought up. I don't know if I can convince her to make something like this! What if they say, "Oh, no, we're not going to do that!
"Yuta, do you want to make a home?"
Belle, who had been listening to me, tilts her head and asks me a question.
"Yes, we're going to build a house for Sylphy and her friends. We're going to make a house that suits each of their attributes, and I think it will be fun for Belle and the others to come and visit.
Assuming it's completed on time.
"Oh!"
"Fluffy."
Tulu, perhaps caught by Belle's excitement, mutters something about happiness. Fluffy, I don't plan to build a house like that, you know? Vita said she wanted a house in Mohammed Kingdom with lots of animals anyway. Then I want to come and play with you.
Oh, here we are. I hope there's room at Torque's inn. The food's getting better and the number of guests has increased, so there might not be any rooms available. Well, it's easier for me emotionally than if the number of customers is decreasing because of my bad reputation.
****
"Hello, Martha. Do you have a room available?"
"Well, it's been a long time. We have a room for ......1 and a room for 4. We have rooms available."
Well, we're off to a good start.
"Oh, what about dinner? Betty has been working hard on the dairy farm and the milk has really improved the taste of the food."
Martha says proudly. The last time we did this, we didn't have much time, but it tasted pretty good. I'm looking forward to dinner. Also, the little army of kids I've been listening to + Gina's squeamishness is getting worse.
"Of course I'll have it. When it's time for dinner, could you bring the food to the room for four? It would be very helpful if you could prepare a total of 10 servings, is that all right?"
"Well, that's more than I've ever had. Well, we just got the milk in, so we'll be fine. I'll bring it in when it's time for dinner."
I really want to order about 20 servings, but that would be a nuisance. But you've been stocking up on milk just fine, haven't you? Thanks to Betty's hard work? It's kind of awkward to ask her to talk about edamame in this situation, so I'll talk to Marie about edamame.
I'll talk to Marie about edamame. Oh, I'd like to ask Gina and Sara to help me cook again, is that OK?"
Gina and Sara are looking forward to learning how to cook from Mr. Toruku, so we would like to ask them again. Ruby is also learning to cook, and I hope that she will eventually become a great cook ...... and a great spiritualist, cooking being a hobby for me.
"Yeah, I'd love to have more people on hand in the mornings. He enjoys teaching the girls how to cook, so that's not a problem.
It's very helpful.
"Thank you, Martha."
"Thank you very much."
Gina and Sarah thank me after my words. Yeah, they're polite and nice. As a teacher, I'm proud of them. Martha is also impressed by Sarah's cuteness, patting her head and murmuring that she wished she had a girl, too. I won't give Sara to you, you know. We talked briefly about our future plans, paid the fee, entered the room, and sat down on the bed, where Belle and the others gathered.
"Yuta, can I go for a walk?"
Oh, you just flew to the labyrinth city and arrived, and now you want to go for a walk? I wonder if there will be new food stalls by the time we get to the labyrinth city. It doesn't matter if they are tired or not.
"You can go, but be back in time for dinner. And go to Meral and tell her that I'll be at the workshop tomorrow. If Meral is not there, you don't have to look for her."
The belles jumped out of the window saying, "Okay! They were looking forward to dinner tonight and would be back exactly in time for dinner.
All that's left to do is ...... Gina said she's going to visit her parents tomorrow, so there's nothing to do. I'll just relax until dinner time.
"Oh my, you've really improved the taste!"
Sylphy is surprised after eating carbonara. Bell and the others are delighted to be back in time for dinner. Gina and the others are also concentrating on their food, and they can tell a noticeable difference in taste.
I want to eat it too, but I'll be embarrassed if I'm the only one who can't taste the difference. Martha, who brought the dishes, told me that the milk-based dishes are very popular even though they are more expensive, and I want to believe that I can taste the difference, too. The pressure is getting to me in a weird way. ...... Yeah, I'll pretend to understand even if I can't tell the difference in taste. I take a mouthful of carbonara with determination.
"Oh, the cream is thicker. Is the cheese changed? And the bacon is thicker and more satisfying, and the garlic smell is stronger, but it's a lot better."
......The joy of discovering the difference in taste made me talk about it. But it's so completely delicious that even I can tell. Well, the amount of garlic is also increased, which is typical of Mr. Torque, but it's good enough.
Besides, it tastes in a different direction from the Ruby, which adds to the enjoyment. If you have a craving for carbonara, it's great that you can't decide whether to eat Ruby or Torque's carbonara. It is the same as the pleasure to be able to choose which chain you want to eat when you have a craving for Gyudon. Again, I will buy a lot of food on my way back to paradise.
After a very satisfying dinner, we tell everyone about our plans for tomorrow and return to our rooms. Bell and the others report on the food stalls and seem a little disappointed that not much has changed. Well, they have found some new stalls, so they should be satisfied with that. It hasn't been that long since their last visit to the labyrinth city, after all.
The message to Meral seems to have gone through without a hitch, and she's not planning to leave the workshop tomorrow, so it doesn't matter when she comes. So for now, tomorrow we'll go to Marie's general store, the Adventurers' Guild, Mel's workshop, and order a house from Jill. By the way, we should pick up the beds for the inn that we ordered.
The spirits who came to play were happy with the straw beds, but Saffy said the kids didn't want to sleep on them, so replacing them with better beds would help a little. But the beds don't have to be made tomorrow. We can pick them up together when we go shopping.
****
"Well, we're free today, but are you sure you don't want the Great Spirit escorting you?"
I thought about taking everyone with me since we'll be stopping by Mel's place, but it would be boring since the whole day is basically just discussion. I'd rather have a free day. I'm worried about that.
"You worry too much, Master. We've improved a lot, and Shiva and the others will protect us even if something happens.
Well, that's true, but until we hear from the Adventurers' Guild about the status of the guards, I think we should be on our guard to some extent. Gina will be visiting her parents' house, so she and Sarah will be going separately, and I think we should summon Dine and Dolly to escort them ......, but the apprentices say they can handle it themselves ........
Yuta, if you're so worried about me, I'll take care of it. In fact, Gina and the others are one of the best in the labyrinth city. Overprotecting them will hinder their growth.
Sylphy says dismissively. It's true that Gina and her friends can handle most things because they've been in volcanoes. Sylphy says she'll keep an eye on them, so I guess I'll just have to trust my apprentice here.
"Okay. Then I won't have an escort. But this isn't as safe as paradise. Be very careful and don't forget that there might be people who want to cheat Gina and the others. Okay?"
"I know."
Too much verbiage is counterproductive. Enough with the warnings. I should get going. I leave Gina and the others and head for Marie's general store.
On the way to Marie's general store, I find a new stall again and leave Bell and the others who are fired up.
"Welcome, Mr. Yuta!
Oh, that's right, Sonia was in this store. I am surprised and extremely frustrated that I had forgotten about Sonia, who appears without a sign of her. The fact that Sonia-san's face was somewhat smiling added to my frustration.
I glance at Sylfie, who seems to be enjoying herself and seems to have noticed Ms. Sonia. I wish she had told me if possible. .......
"I told Gina and the others to be on their guard, so Yuta should be careful too."
Sylphy notices my gaze and makes a good argument that I can't even hear a guffaw. You're absolutely right.
"Hello, Sonia-san. I'm here to see Marie-san.
"Yes, we received a report that Yuta-sama entered the labyrinth city yesterday, so we are standing by ready to receive him whenever he arrives."
...... You don't even hide the fact that you're building a network of information against me anymore. I guess it's too late now that you said you'd report me if you saw me at the stall.
"I see. Well, thank you?"
It's the part where you thank me for waiting for you, right? I'm not sure I agree, but I thank him in advance.
"No, Yuta-sama is an important person for the Polurius Chamber of Commerce, so it's only natural. Besides, Miss Marie is very much looking forward to meeting Mr. Yuta. I will show you around."
Sonia smiles at me and shows me to the reception room. I am afraid that she is trying to sell Ms. Marie to me after she has encouraged me to come here. When Sonia is at her best, I get tired before meeting Marie, which is a problem.
I feel like I've been taken by surprise because I accidentally forgot about Sonia's existence.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Then I won't have an escort. But this isn't as safe as paradise. Be very careful and don't forget that there might be people who want to cheat Gina and the others. Okay?""I know."Too much verbiage is counterproductive. Enough with the warnings. I should get going. I leave Gina and the others and head for Marie's general store.On the way to Marie's general store, I find a new stall again and leave Bell and the others who are fired up."Welcome, Mr. Yuta!Oh, that's right, Sonia was in this store. I am surprised and extremely frustrated that I had forgotten about Sonia, who appears without a sign of her. The fact that Sonia-san's face was somewhat smiling added to my frustration.I glance at Sylfie, who seems to be enjoying herself and seems to have noticed Ms. Sonia. I wish she had told me if possible. ......."I told Gina and the others to be on their guard, so Yuta should be careful too."Sylphy notices my gaze and makes a good argument that I can't even hear a guffaw. You're absolutely right."Hello, Sonia-san. I'm here to see Marie-san."Yes, we received a report that Yuta-sama entered the labyrinth city yesterday, so we are standing by ready to receive him whenever he arrives."...... You don't even hide the fact that you're building a network of information against me anymore. I guess it's too late now that you said you'd report me if you saw me at the stall."I see. Well, thank you?"It's the part where you thank me for waiting for you, right?I'm not sure I agree, but I thank him in advance."No, Yuta-sama is an important person for the Polurius Chamber of Commerce, so it's only natural. Besides, Miss Marie is very much looking forward to meeting Mr. Yuta. I will show you around."Sonia smiles at me and shows me to the reception room. I am afraid that she is trying to sell Ms. Marie to me after she has encouraged me to come here. When Sonia is at her best, I get tired before meeting Marie, which is a problem.I feel like I've been taken by surprise because I accidentally forgot about Sonia's existence.
