Isekai Nonbiri Nouka

Chapter 407

The plan for the dedicated pond for the universal ship has changed .

I thought I had to make a pond because it looks like a ship but it doesn’t have to float on water because it flies in the sky .

A ship stand is enough .

We didn’t even have to dig a hole .

A little frustrating .

Loo was the one who comforted me .

「Isn’t it cool if it were to fly out from the basement?」

Can I do that?

Maa, let’s use the hole we dug effectively .

A door was built above the hole and it will be closed unless the universal ship leaves or arrives .

The door is shaped in a triangular, roof-like design as a measure against snow and rain .

That door will be opened using the hand of the universal ship .

It is very convenient for a ship to have a hand .

Shouldn’t this be a standard equipment of ships?

Since the door is heavy, there is a warning sound before opening and closing the door .

For the time being, the warning sound came from a bell .

It might be mistaken as the village’s alarm so let’s consult Zabuton after she hibernates in spring .

After parting with the high elves and the mountain elves, who were working together with me, I returned to my mansion and took a break .

I usually take a break either in my room or the guest receiving room .

Alfred and the others are in the guest receiving room so I will head there .

Yeah, it looks like everyone is getting along well .

But remember that this is the guest receiving room so don’t run around .

Outside … it’s cold .

I feel cold too .

I put a cushion in a suitable place and sit down .

When I looked around… . I found that there’s no kittens .

There are only children .

They might be in my room .

The phoenix chick Aegis, wine slime, and Hitoe on her fox form are here too .

We meet every day but I feel like it’s been a while .

Alright, want to sit on my lap?

Hahaha

Wine slime, I’m not asking you .

Have a drink over there .

Aegis, I’m not talking about you either .

Get on my head .

Hitoe is holding back but she delightedly sits on my lap .

An oni maid puts tea at a table near me .

She also puts juice for Hitoe .

Thank you .

Let’s talk to Hitoe about Youko .

Recently, Youko has been too focused on her work?

That’s not good .

Yeah, not good .

I’ll tell Youko .

Youko doesn’t leave you alone because she doesn’t like you .

Don’t be mistaken .

Hitoe was called by Alfred and the others so she left my lap .

Kuro, who has been waiting for that for a long time, put his head on my now empty lap .

Good good .

You’ve been hanging around me ever since I asked Hitoe to sit on my lap .

Sorry sorry .

I thought you were sleeping in my room .

Hahaha .

While cuddling Kuro, who put his head on my lap, I wondered who would come next .

Will it be Yuki?

Or maybe a spiderling .

……

Malbit?

This is unexpected .

Ehto, why are you sitting on my lap?

Aren’t you a married woman?

Your husband died a long time ago but that still might cause some problems .

Look, Kierbit is heading over here with a terrible expression… .

Evacuate .

I have to find the right chance .

Let’s put a strict control on my mind .

I swear that to Aegis who’s immovable on my head .

The hall in the center of my mansion .

This place is convenient when there is a need to gather all the villages to talk but in winter, it is too wide making it cold .

You can call it a smaller soccer field .

According to the plan of the high elves, this can be warmed with magic but we did not do so since it is a waste to use various resources to warm this area .

As a result, though better than outside, it is still cold . People don’t go here too which makes it colder .

What should I do with this?

… . .

How about building partitions that can easily move in order to make a private room?

The high elves and the mountain elves behind me nod .

It doesn’t sound bad .

Let’s give it a try .

We tried it .

A space about four and a half tatami mat big was created .

Calm down, my heart .

If I put a brazier on the center, it will be warm enough .

… . .

It needs a roof too .

It will be cold if it doesn’t have one .

The height is about 3 meters .

Good .

It’s pitch black .

Use magic for light .

… . .

Hohou .

It’s a pretty nice space .

However, now that this has become a solid room, what about air draft?

Also, it is tightly holding on to the wall . It can no longer be called partition because the floor and wall can’t be moved .

A structural weak point .

If that is the case, it is better to set up a tent rather than a partition .

But setting up tents indoors will damage the floor .

I can’t do that .

… . .

I laid a board about 30cm thick on the floor as floor and put a tent on it .

The tent is less than 2 square meters but it is in good condition .

Put a blanket on it and now I have a comfortable space .

I tried lying down .

… . .

I like it .

Since it has come to this… .

The high elves and the mountain elves brought a camping coach to the side of the tent .

You know me well .

Good .

Let’s make a few more tents for the time being .

I will feel bad if I’m the only one to enjoy it .

I, at least, have to make tents for the high elves and mountain elves .

We began cooking on the camping coach .

It’s indoor but it feels like we’re really camping .

「Isn’t it easier if you warm up this place using magic?」

I decided that I did not hear what Ann said .

「By the way, what happened to those magic tools?」

I asked Loo who’s eating beside the camping coach .

When the beastboys returned last autumn’s martial arts tournament, they asked Loo to investigate something .

Though they were the ones who brought them, the client was Glatts .

There was a theory that this magic tool might have called a monster called “mixture” .

「There’s nothing to investigate . Magic tools don’t produce “mixture” . However, a long time ago, I called a magic tool “mixture” and that caused misunderstanding to spread . 」

「Is that so?」

「Yeah . Rather than returning it immediately, it might be better to help them by keeping it here . They would be relieved if they are here . 」

「Return them properly . 」

「I’m not even interested in borrowing them . In terms of performance, you can just pick randomly in the warehouse for a more superior magic tool . 」

「That’s good . Then, what is that “mixture”?」

「Hmmm . You can call it a collection of magic power with will . 」

「I don’t understand . 」

「Ahaha . Ehto, you know the magic that manipulates golem?」

It’s the magic that Tier uses .

She also applied that magic on the universal ship .

「It only moves when the caster gives instruction and it will never move on its own, right?」

「That’s right . 」

「Think of it as a golem that started moving on its own without anyone giving it an instruction . In a sense, it is the ultimate golem because it is independent but its sole purpose is self preservation . Bell and Gou might get mad but you can call it another type of mercury . 」

「… . . I’m sorry but I don’t understand it well . 」

「It’s a dangerous monster but it’s okay since it never appeared around here . Even appearing in the demon king’s kingdom is only a very little chance . 」

「But why did it appear near the school where the beastboys are going… . 」

「Super unlucky . Similar to how unlucky you are if you are to be hit by a meteorite . 」

「That’s… . terrible . 」

「That’s why they became nervous to the point that Glatts even asked me to investigate . When the spring comes, I’ll go there to check it out as I return the magic tools . 」

「You’re going to leave again?」

「Ara, lonely? Even though you have Malbit?」

「Where did you even hear that?」

「Fufufu . I’ll forgive you if you let me sit on your lap . 」

「… . . please, my princess . 」
