「Even though I’m going to become Touya’s bride, I wish to walk with you through life. However, I do not intend to monopolize you, so this is fine. I’ll go speak with everyone. Touya-san please wait in the living room」
Eh? What? What is happening? Yumina left Kohaku with me and went upstairs.
I don’t really get it but… I’ll go wait in the living room for the time being.
Along the way, I saw things like the bathroom, reception hall, pantry and wine cellar, it really is magnificent. Not a single shelf missing.
And opening the first door in the entry way was the living room. It really is wide…… It should be obvious but there was nothing save for drapes and the fireplace. I guess we’ll have to arrange for thing to be purchased. Did the King foresee this and that was the reason for the money?
From the window on the wall to the terrace, you could see the western district and wide garden.
I opened the window off the terrace and a pleasant breeze blew in.
『It’s a nice garden. It’s as if to invite me to take a nap here』
Kohaku lies and rolls on the lawn.
「Do you like it?」
『Yes, very much』
Kohaku says so as well, this place isn’t bad to live in. There are a lot of preparations that needed to be done though.
「Touya-san」
I turned around and saw everyone that Yumina had brought with her, but, for some reason none of the 3 girls would look directly at me. Why? Their faces still look a little red….
「A, um, Touya…. Is it really ok for us to live here?」
「? Of course」
「… you won’t say something like get out, um, right?」
「I won’t」
「You’re going to treat us the same, um, as Yumina degozaru?」
「Naturally」
Why this now? I don’t have any family in this world, but I fell that everyone is close to a real family. That is the truth.
……But, why is everyone fidgeting like that? Certainly, there might be some mixed feelings about living in this house, however I’ve already received it, so there’s nothing to be reserved about.
「Well then, everyone, we will all be living here. No need to rush so, let’s just confirm the feelings from the previous discussion」
「Eh-」
「Yes」
「Ok degozaru」
With red faces the three nod affirmatively at Yumina’s words. What do you mean by “confirm the feelings”? What the heck did you discuss?
「The discussion from earlier is… what?」
「「「「Secret」」」」
Again in unison? Really? Huh, could it be that the one with the weakest position in this house is me?
「Well then, shall we decide on the individual rooms?」
「My room is going to the one in the corner on the second floor.」
「I’ll take the one on the interior of the third floor.」
「I’ll use the one on the first floor facing the garden」
The girls talked excitedly. What is this since of alienation? Well, there are a lot of rooms so they should pick the one that they like. Even still, there are still a lot of rooms left over.
「Well, just us taking care of this house alone is questionable……」
「Not possible」
「You say that so lightly……」
Yumina answered quickly. Certainly, cleaning would be terrible. There’s the work at the guild, even cleaning the garden wouldn’t be possible.
「Therefore, lets employ some people. I know of a few」
If Yumina says so, why not just leave it to her? We certainly need people. If pull some from the palace then there is bound to be good talent.
Now then, shall we prepare to move? We can move the belongings with Gate. But we will still need to arrange for furniture right? There’s nothing in this house after all.
Plus, there are people we are indebted to that we wish to give farewells to back in Leaflet.
In combination with recruiting employees, we decided to move in 3 days. It’s going to be busy.
