CHAPTER 18 – OUR NEW HOUSE
It is hard to say what the emperor thinks of when I asked to compensate for the mess. After being promoted to a D Rank adventurer, on the very next day there was an envoy from the emperor, who came to visit.
[After a few minutes in Inn's lobby.]
"Hey girls, would you like it if we got our own house?"
"I mean it will be good to have our own house in another world but why are you asking this so suddenly?", Cho – Hee answered while she was having her breakfast.
I mean I'm not denying that it's sudden but…
"If you guys are okay with this idea then there is somewhere I want everyone to visit."
"What do you mean Alvin. Can you please explain?"
"Don't worry, you will understand everything once we reach that place.",
I'm just confusing the girls at this point.
Never mind,
After having our breakfast, I took the girls to the place. It's better to show them so that they can decide if they want to live in this house or not.
It's better to see it with your own eyes sometimes,
"Wait, you were serious about a new house? Isn't this too large for just the three of us?", Emma got concerned as she looks at the new house.
"Ah… maybe we could hire someone? I'm not sure."
To be honest, I don't know if it's alright to call it a house at this point. Should I call it a manor?
"When did you buy it, Alvin? Did we have enough money for it?"
"I didn't buy this, it was the compensation from the emperor."
Well as Cho – Hee said, we don't have enough money for this yet. Maybe sometime in the future but we can't afford to buy this now.
"So, did you all like it or I should return this and ask for money instead."
"No, let's take it. I mean it will be good to have our own place to call home. ", Emma instantly answered.
Then, it's settled, I guess.
Now we also have a place to call home. It's just over a month since we came here but looks like we can be cozy here.
Soon we moved to this place right after deciding. I wonder is it alright to be happy this much?
Sigh…
Now I have only one thing to worry about at the moment. Let's take care of it as well.
"Hey Cho, are you busy?"
"No, not really, just going to explore this manor."
"Uh, then… can I ask you a favor?"
It's time to talk to the Gaia again. I need to ask her about the blue book.
In one of the bedrooms, I decided to sleep. Of course, I haven't told anything to Cho – Hee. I just asked her to put me to sleep because there is something I need to do.
I will tell everyone once I'm done with her.
"Are you sure? It's the middle of the day and you want me to put you to sleep."
"Yes, and I will tell you everything after I woke up."
"Very well. Don't complain if you waste your entire day sleeping."
"SPIRITUAL SLEEP OF WIND CUCCON"
"Oh, you finally came back to meet me again."
"Yes, there are a lot of things I need to ask but first I want to ask you, did you give me the correct book?"
"Yes, is there a problem with the book?"
So, it's the right one, then…
"Which two worlds are we talking about here in this book and what is it that you want me to do?"
"A world which is similar to your previous world and this world. What I want you to do is to find a permanent connection between these two worlds."
"Why? Aren't you a goddess so why don't you do it yourself?"
"I can't, all I am able to do is make a temporary connection for one-time use. After that, I have to wait for hundreds of years just to relocate both worlds."
So, in short, she needs a medium that can act as a connection between both worlds and keep ongoing.
"Correct! I guess you understand it now."
"Stop reading someone else's mind and tell me why are you asking me? Why don't you find something like that by yourself?"
"That, I can't tell you. I hope you find a way."
*ping
The sound of the system can be heard again.
"Looks like I have to go now. Meet you later then!"
Wait –
Uh… Not again!
"Did you have a good sleep?", Cho – Hee was sitting next to the bed looking directly at me.
Is this her hobby or something? Do you keep an eye on me while I sleep?
"Yes, but what are you still doing here? I thought you were busy exploring manor to find a good room."
"Oh, I already found it."
Has she already found it? Then why is she still here?
"Then tell me, what is it that you are doing while sleeping?"
"Let's gather everyone in the hall. We have something to find."
