'Did this man seriously didn't know about you even though he's on the army?'
'Maybe he's someone like the lord aide, but that aide still have some redemption. But this guy'
'Just from his look, he's already grade c villain'
'I smell some problem after this'
'Khakhakhakha,, another cliche right'
'Huhf, please give me a break. I just want to get my house and sleep with peace of mind'
'Want me to came out darling'
'Want it, really want it. But can you?'
'Not yet... ehe'
'ehe te nandayo... huhf, i will just slaps this guy and said he's fainted due to health problems. Yosh, let's do that'
"Satou!!!"
Unfortunately for Satou. Before he can do that, someone call him.
'Who is this idiot, how dare he interfere with my fun!' Satou mumble
'He's the army captain thought'
Yes, Dea is right. The one calling Satou is the army captain Kigouri. Captain Kigouri slowly walk toward Satou and the man.
"Satou. I heard from Iona that you and your companions guard this part. Thank you" Said the Captain while lowering his head
"It's okay, i sleep in this inn for the meantime before i can get my own house" Satou pointing his thumb toward the gate front inn.
"Oh yeah, I also heard that you're looking for a house to be given to Zena right? If you still haven't found the right one. I heard that in the northern block, there is a former nobleman's house who moved out of the town. Even though it was on the outskirts, it was still part of the northern block, so safety was guaranteed. You just need to fix it a little bit" Said the captain
"Ohh, i will talk to Nadi from the general shop tonight" Satou smile hearing what the captain said.
"Ohh, you also ask her, can trust her. She's well known in the town for her fairness on her job"
"She even have an elf as a lover. So i think it's like that" Satou said as if he understood something.
"Hahahaha, that's true. But actually we didn't know is they really a lover or not. As long as i know her, she already with Toya-san when she arrive here"
"From their interaction between each other. They to close to be just a friend thought. Toya-san even angry when i try to help Nadi-san from the flaying ant"
"Hahahaha. I want to see Toya-san angry face. He never angry in front of anyone. Or maybe it's because of Nadi that he's angry"
"Maybe" Satou and Captain Kigouri nod to each other.
"By the way, what are you doing here Dosan?"
After that sentence, Satou look toward the man.
'Ohh, i forgot about him'
'Host, just because he's an insignificant character, doesn't mean you can forgot about him you know'
'Sorry, it slipped out of my mind'
"Oh, him. He's try to take the ant core that killed by Liza and the other. So I'm on my way to tease him a little bit" Satou said it with a smile on his face.
"Please don't. He will die if you hit him" the captain said with a pale face.
"I'm not taking it for free. Just for regulation purpose, i take it for counting. Than i will buy it with the army fund" Said Dosan
"Oh,, it's like that. Than let's talk first" The captain take Dosan and half drag him.
"Satou, i will talk with him for a moment. You can meet with your companion first" Said the captain with a smile.
"Okay than, you can meet me at the gate front inn"
"Okay" Said the captain while dragging Dosan.
Satou than go back to the inn with Liza. Arriving at the inn Satou called by Martha to came to the backyard. At the backyard, Satou see Mosa and her husband preparing a feast.
"Goshujin" Tama run and jump to Satou.
"Master, nanodesu" Pochi doing the same.
"Welcome back master" Arisa greet him.
"Welcome master" Lulu greet Satou with a low voice.
With Tama and Pochi clinging on him, Satou greet them back.
"Lulu, how's your feeling?" Satou ask her.
"My stomach hurt, and my head too, master" Said Lulu.
"Yuni-chan, can you buy a fruit for her?" Ask Satou while giving her some money.
"Yes Satou-san" Yuni nod and smiling.
"Liza, go with her"
"Hai, master"
"Mosa-san, what will you doing here?" Satou ask.
"These children are amazing. Even if they're so tiny, they manage to protect the inn from the monster. This is how the people in the inn said their thanks. They still reluctant to eat in the same room with them. Even so, they still know how to be grateful. So this is what they did. All meals and rooms are free for you during your stay here" Explain Mosa while pointing her finger toward an open window.
Satou can see some people at the window. After seeing it, satou lower his head. After Yuni came back, they enjoy the food provided by the inn.

Meanwhile, in different part of the town. Captain Kigouri talk with Dosan.
"What do you really want to do to Satou?" Captain Kigouri said with an angry voice.
"Captain i already said that it's for regulation" Answer him with a scared voice.
"I hope it just for that. If not. It will not just end on you. But all your family will be erased if you do something to him. You know that intermediate demons can destroy this city, don't you. What would happen if a person who could kill a intermediate demon single-handedly ran amok here? Can you imagine what happened?" Captain Kigouri said with cold voice.
After hearing captain Kigouri's explanation, Dosan was sweating with fear.
"If you understand, i will take this job from you. I will personally talking to him about the monster core" Dosan can only nodded at Captain Kigouri word.
***
Meanwhile, when Captain Kigouri talking with Dosan. An owl can be seen at the top of building.
"So that man is that strong. Maybe i can use him"
With that sentence, the owl fly away.
***
The backyard of the gate front inn. When Satou and the others had finished their meal. Captain Kigorui came to see him.
"You're a little late captain"
"Late? Late for what? I just finished talking about your Core" Captain Kigouri was confused.
"There was a bit of a party here. And you came after it was over"
"What!? Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" He was surprised to hear Satou's explanation.
"Sorry, I just found out when I got back to the inn"
"Shit, I could have had a free meal if I could have come earlier" Captain Kigouri looked regretful.
"Is your salary as a captain that little?"
"That's not the problem. The food here is famous for being delicious. So if I can eat here for free. How can I refuse?"
"Serious?"
"Yes, very serious"
Satou fell silent seeing Captain Kigouri's seriousness.
"Wait, I didn't come here to talk about the meal at this inn. It's a matter of purchasing the cores you have. Can I count the cores you have?"
"Yes, you can" replied Satou while handing him a bag full of cores.
Captain Kigouri accepted the bag and poured out all the contents of the bag. He counted one by one the existing cores.
"I will bought all of them for 8 silver Coins. How?" Captain Kigouri said after counting.
"8 coins" Satou fell silent.
'Partner, is that price enough?'
'Yes. Prices in the market around that much. In fact it's actually more than the price offered by some shops'
'We still have the cores we got from the labyrinth. Shall we sell it all together?'
'That's fine, but don't sell the cores of the spider and black beast monsters'
'Okay'
"We got a deal" Said Satou
Captain Kigouri immediately made an official letter for purchasing cores from Satou. After the two of them signed the letter and completed the payment, captain Kigouri immediately returned to the barracks, and Satou returned to meet Liza, Tama and Pochi.
In the stables, Satou found Tama and Pochi already asleep.
"They must be tired" said Satou while stroking Tama and Pochi's head.
Tama and Pochi smiled after Satou stroked their heads.
"I have nothing to do tomorrow morning. But I have to go see Nadi-san at noon. What do you want to do?" Sarou asked Liza who was still awake.
"Whatever you want, master" Liza replied. Sarou couldn't help but smile at Liza's answer.
"Then you rest. Come with me tomorrow afternoon" Sarou ordered Liza, and Liza nodded.
After a little conversation. Satou approached Liza and kissed her as usual.
"Good night"
"Good night, master"
After Satou finished with Liza. He went out and met Mosa the innkeeper.
"Mosa-san, can I have breakfast for us to be prepared in the backyard? So I can eat with Arisa and the others" Satou asked when he met Mosa.
"It's okay" replied Mosa "You don't mind if you prepare everything right?" Mosa asked her husband who was sitting beside her.
"If Satou-san is fine with the table and chairs we used this afternoon. I'm fine with preparing breakfast or whatever."
Satou just giving the two his thump up.
After talking about that, Satou immediately returned to his room. Like yesterday, Satou was greeted by Arisa who was naked on the bed. But, for today. Lulu who was sick because of her period, was already fast asleep.
Regardless of Arisa's sexy style on the bed. Satou changed his clothes.
On the bed, Satou poked Arisa's forehead.
"Ouch, why?" Asked Arisa with a disappointed face.
"Do you want to disturb Lulu's sleep?" Arisa fell silent hearing Satou's words.
Satou who was ready to sleep immediately lay down and pulled Arisa in his arms.
"In the meantime, be content with this. If Lulu is healthy, maybe we can do it. Threesome with Lulu or Zena or maybe the four of us if you want, or you want to include Liza in there?" Satou whispered in Arisa's ear.
"Master, ecchi" Arisa with a smiling face answered Satou's whisper.
***
The next day, after finishing their breakfast. Satou went to meet Nadi at the general store with Liza. Arisa actually also wants to come along.
"If you come along, who will take care of Lulu? Liza, Tama and Pochi, it can't be because they are beast folk"
After hearing Satou's explanation. Arisa relents and doesn't come along. Tama and Pochi also the same. But after Satou said that they must protect Arisa and Lulu, they happily stayed at the inn.
***
After Satou arrived at the general store. He immediately met with Nadi and Toya.
"Good afternoon Toya-san, Nadi-san" Satou greeted the two.
"Afternoon" Toya answered with one word as usual.
"Afternoon, Satou-san" Nadi replied to Satou.
"Nadi-san, how about the house I want?" Satou immediately addressed his needs without further ado.
"I found some candidate houses that can be checked. Would Satou-san want to take a look?"
"Actually, captain Kigouri told me about a mansion on the outskirts of the northern part of the city. Is that place on the list?" Sato asked.
"Ohh, that mansion is on the list. Would you like to see that place first?"
"Okay, let's start from there"
After that, Satou went with Liza and Nadi to look at the houses one by one.
The first mansion was owned by a noble who moved the city due to an attack from the Dragons a few years ago. The condition of the mansion is not too bad, just needs a little repairs. The house is also quite spacious. According to Satou, this house was sufficient for them, and he could also build a large bath here.
The second mansion, was owned by a corrupt nobles who were punished and their assets confiscated by the king. This one is too big. Home care of this size will not be easy. though Satou could make whatever he wanted in a house this big. But he thought this was more than what he needed now.
The last one, was once owned by a noble couple who died without children. The house is quite spacious, the facilities are also complete as what Satou wants. Not only that, the front yard of the house is quite spacious. There is a small garden beside the house. A well-maintained vacant lot is also on the other side of the house. And the backyard is also quite big.
After seeing at all the existing houses. Satou and Nadi returned to the general store. Ass for the house, all of them is fulfilled what Satou asked for. So he's a little confused which one to choose.
'Partner, which one do you think I should buy. I like the first one. Not too big and enough for all of us. If one day we have to leave this city. The treatment won't be difficult either'
'That's right. But remembering about what will happen. I suggest you buy the third one. Why? the house is big enough for all of us. However, the house has a fairly large empty yard. So when our members grow, we don't need to buy a new house, we just need to expand our house'
'You say as if, our members will increase'
'They will increase, your harem I mean'
'Wow, I'm not that bad of a man you know'
'Precisely because you're not that bad of a guy. There will be many women who want you. After all, considering that the body was made by Kagura-chan, I'm sure the protagonist effect must be there. Especially, the harem protagonist effect'
'Damn, I forgot about that'
Even though he seems to be silent from the outside. Satou was actually having a conversation with Dea considering the pros and cons of all the houses.
Considering this is only their first town. And the ease of transforming the house. In the end they agreed to take the third house.
"I'll take the third house. The house isn't too big but it's enough for all of us. There's a yard big enough for Tama and Pochi. Besides, the condition of the house isn't too bad either, so I don't need to fix it too much" Satou said after being silent a few minutes.
"Okay then. I will process the purchase of the third house. The purchase fee is 900 gold coins. Do you have a request for a change of the house? Of course the change requires another fee"
"Hmm... Can you make a stables in the empty yard next to the house. Also a big bath and a separate small bath please. Is 100 gold coins enough for that?"
"I think that's enough. Maybe there will be some left after finishing"
After that, Satou talked about the changes that would be made to the house he bought with Nadi and Toya. With ideas and suggestions from Nadi and Toya. Satou can get the house design he wants.
***
After all the house buying matters were over, Satou planned to head straight back to the inn. But he remembered Lulu's health condition.
"Nadi-san, sorry if I sound presumptuous. May I ask you something?" Sarou asked politely to Nadi.
"Satou-san, please don't talk like that. It makes me uncomfortable to hear that" Nadi felt awkward because Satou spoke politely to her.
"My question is a little bit rude. So I ask permission and forgiveness first before asking it" Satou lowered his head.
"Please don't be like that. Just ask if you have any questions. If I can answer, I will answer it"
"Okay then. Nadi-san, what medicine do you usually consume when you have your period? And where can I buy it?" Satou asked with his poket face as usual.
Nadi and Toya were shocked after hearing Satou's question.
"Hmm... That problem..."
"Rude"
"That's why I asked permission to ask and apologize in advance. Because I know this is a rude question!"
Nadi giggled after that. She than silent for a moment before speaking again.
"If you want her to get better quickly, you can take her to the temple. But if you want medicine that you can take, just go to the nearest pharmacy. Just tell them that if you look for medicine for a woman who is having her period, they will immediately know what you are looking for. I usually have some leftover medicine like that, but since this month was a bit heavy, so I ran out of it." Nadi explained to Satou.
"So I just need to go to the pharmacy right? Are there certain things I need to pay attention to when buying the drug?"
"No need, it's can be find at all the pharmacy in the kingdom. As long as you buy it from a trusted pharmacy, it won't be a problem." add her.
"Okay, thanks. I'll go right now" Satou stood up after that.
Before Satou walked out, he was silent for a moment. And turned to Nadi.
"When should I come back here to talk about house repairs?"
"Maybe it will take me 6-10 days. But I will call you at the inn if there is a certain problem"
"Okay, see you later" Satou and Liza lowered their heads.
"Yeah, see you later"
"bye"
After Satou got the information about the medicine he needed for Lulu. Satou hurriedly went to buy it at the nearest pharmacy. It turns out that there are still people who don't know about Satou, because when Satou bought medicine at the pharmacy, the shopkeeper gave Satou medicine that was almost expired and gave the price more than 10 times.
Even so, with negotiation, haggling, persuasive, swindle skills and information from the menu. Satou was able to get good quality goods at a much cheaper price than what was sold in the market.
After Satou finished buying medicine for Lulu, Satou rushed back to the inn because it was past dinner time. Before Satou returned to the inn. He didn't forget to buy snacks and some skewered meat. Satou and Liza ate some skewered meat on the way back to the inn.
Arriving at the inn, Satou immediately returned to the room because he wanted to see Lulu as soon as possible to give her the medicine he bought. Inside the room Satou finds Arisa and the others playing.
"Lulu, is your body still aching?" Satou walked over to Lulu.
"Still a little, master" Lulu replied in a low voice.
"I already bought medicine for you. You drink now" Satou handed him the medicine he bought and a glass of fruit juice.
Lulu was a little scared, but after Satou coaxed her and stroked her head. Lulu is willing to take medicine.
