I’ve updated multiple times today, and this is the third chapter. I’ve generated a two-story house. But I’ll wait a bit before placing it.
Actually, I asked Mashiro, who had just returned, to even out the surrounding land.
With Fenrir’s huge body, leveling the ground is easy.
He had been working while we were eating.
Since the shack area was empty, Mashiro was stomping it out as if it were the last time.
“Thanks, Mashiro. If I could do something to repay you…”
Then Mashiro suddenly looked at the bathroom.
He was staring at the partition with a heated gaze.
I let out a big sigh. I understood his wish. “I’ll just ask, but…”
Fenrir happily nodded.
“Hey, everyone…! Mashiro looks a bit dirty too, can you wash him?” The answer was immediate.
“Sure! Since Mashiro worked hard today, I’ll wash him!”
「If that’s the case, I’m grateful too.」 「I don’t mind either.」
「Yeah. Mashiro is part of the team now.」 「Sure, why not?」
Mashiro chirped happily, licked my face, and then jumped into the bath.
I wonder how an Osfenrir that wants to use the women’s bath would be…
Well, it’s nice that the phantoms are cooperative, so if the girls are okay with it, then that’s fine… “Alright then.”
When it came to laying out the house, I was concerned about the foundation.
There were issues with using it.
It could be generated with the foundation included. Thanks to the ‘Crafting Ability.’
However, the foundation is basically buried in the ground.
I could dig hard, but once buried, it would cause problems.
It would become ‘connected to the ground’ and unable to be stored in the ‘Inventory.’
I would have to abandon the house and run away in an emergency.
I was worried about losing my agility, but Shinpo taught me something.
There’s a method called “stone foundation.”
Basically, it’s just about placing stones and putting the building’s pillars on top of them.
Listening to him, I vaguely recalled seeing something like this in anime or when old houses appeared.
Of course, there are mechanisms to prevent the pillars from shifting, but that part is taken care of by the “Crafting Ability.”
The stones used for the foundation are also generated, so their shape and size can be freely adjusted.
Decide the placement—and finally place them. In an instant.
A two-story wooden house appeared as if it had always been there. “Good…!”
People often talk about owning a home being a dream once they become adults… but I never thought I’d get a house when I was transferred to an desert island.
I generated candles made from plant oils and candle holders with handles carved from stone, and got a fire from the campfire.
Then I returned to the house, opened the door, and went inside.
By the way, the hinges are also made of wood and stone, and it’s a sliding door.
The entrance is a spacious foyer. Unlike the cabin, there’s no need to store everyone’s shoes individually.
A candlestick and candle are set on top of the shoe rack, and the fire is lit.
Slippers made of grass are prepared for everyone, and I put on my own and proceed.
A hearth is installed in the kitchen, along with firewood, cooking utensils, and dishes.
A basket and soap are placed in the changing room, which is connected to the bath.
And in the living room, I set up a wool carpet and several pieces of furniture.
You can see this tomorrow.
Then, I go out into the hallway and climb the stairs to the second-floor hallway. There are three rooms on the right and four on the left.
“Oh, so that’s why you’re placing furniture before the room assignments are decided…”
Well, if there’s a problem, we can move them later, so I enter the three rooms on the right and the two on the left, and place the furniture in order.
A desk, a chair, and a shelf. A candlestick and candle are also placed on the desk.
And the star item is—the bed.
The bed frame is made of wood, and I could have made it yesterday too…
But there was a problem with the fabric for the bedding and the thread for sewing.
However, the exploration team brought back a lot of flax, so that issue is resolved.
I generated a wool mattress and a wool blanket and placed them on the bed.
I even put a pillow stuffed with wool.
“Isn’t this pretty good?”
I think the house feels more like a home now.
Since I’ve taken care of the important stuff, I spent some time putting the spears in the armory and thinking about what else the house needs, before heading outside.
I really want glass…
I made sliding doors for the living room and windows for each room, but as a modern person, I want glass windows.
Thinking about that as I went outside, I saw the four of them staring up at the house.
Their wet hair and the towels around their necks gave them a different kind of charm than usual.
By the way, the girls are wearing their fluffy wool outfits. They notice me when I come out.
“Souza, this is amazing, right!”
Shouko’s reaction is always honest, and that’s why I’m happy to hear her true feelings. “Yeah… it really is amazing.”
Even Shion’s reaction was simple. “A fine nest of love.”
Chiyu’s reaction was as usual, but I could tell she was excited. “It’s really wonderful…”
Deepo had helped me with a lot of consultations, and seeing the house in reality, she seemed to be moved.
“Everyone, I’m going to take a bath, so come in.”
I handed the candlestick to Chiyu and headed to the bath.
“Soukun, is it okay? You don’t want to see our reactions?” Chiyu asked, and I smiled wryly.
Indeed, it’s fun to see people’s reactions to something you’ve made. “Tell me your thoughts later.”
Glancing at Mashiro, who was sleeping with a satisfied look on her face outside the bathroom, I headed inside.
Using a large bathtub by myself made me feel like I was indulging in something luxurious.
I’m not much of a long bath person, so I tried to get out quickly. “Eeeeeeek?!”
Just then, I heard Shouko’s scream, and a series of thumping sounds followed, as the front door was flung open.
Since I was still warm from the bath, I put on a linen shirt and pants before stepping out from behind the screen.
Then Shouko came rushing out. “Souma!”
“Inside the house, it’s dark. Don’t run around, it’s dangerous.”
“Ah, yeah, I’ll be careful—no, wait!” “How was it?”
I could tell I was grinning to myself.
“Wow, wow, it’s amazing! I didn’t think I’d get my own room on a desert island, let alone a bed to sleep in! The futon and pillow are so fluffy, it’s the best! I’m so happy!”
Shouko threw herself at me.
The scent of soap, her body heat, and the softness of her body all came to me. “Ah… Sh-Shouko-san!”
Deepo came rushing out and shouted. “Hahaha, I couldn’t help it.”
Saying that, Shouko stepped away from me.
「This really is a wonderful house. I love that it has a countertop kitchen, so I can chat with everyone in the living room while cooking.」 Shion also came out.
「I can feel your thoughtfulness and kindness everywhere.」
Senyuu nodded deeply as she appeared.
「I’m really impressed. No, I’m moved. The house turned out so beautifully from the trees we cut down together. I’m glad I could help, even if it was thanks to your abilities.」
「No, no, half the credit goes to Shinpo. You helped me out so much and without you, there’s no way I could have built this house in one day. Take credit for your magic and knowledge.」
I recalled how exhausting it was to cut down a tree on the first day, and how my hands were a mess afterward.
「…Yes, thank you. It was fun making the house together.」 「Yeah, me too.」 Everyone was in a cheerful mood.
「Can we build Mashiro’s house tomorrow? She looks like she’s already asleep.」
「Sure. Oh, I’d like it to be in a spot visible from my window.」
「Okay, I’ll do that. That way, when I open the window in the morning, I can greet Mashiro.」
「Yay! That’s exactly what I wanted.」 Shokushu was excited. 「Let’s go to bed for now.」
Shokushu’s sheep had already been put away, and everything else was stored in the ‘Inventory’. Everyone entered the house.
Midway through, Senyuu came over and gently held my hand, leaning close to my ear and whispering.
“Later, I’ll go to your room.” ”…”
I responded by holding her hand back.
It seems I’ll still be up for a little while before I fall asleep.
Thank you all for letting me experience the number one spot for seven days in a row!!!!
