Chapter 23 - Moving

The maintenance of the mansion was finished and it was the day to move out.

The reason why it was decided to move is because the maids have already been decided and sent by the butler.

I've already asked them to wait for me at the mansion over there to tell Silvia that I'm going today.

Cain organizes his luggage. I'm empty-handed as I've put everything away in the item box.

When he comes outside, Garum is waiting for him.

'Congratulations from me, you may take it.

Sebas brought out a carriage drawn by two horses from behind. It wasn't fancy, but it was well made and well made.

'Thank you, father. We will take good care of it.''

I bow my head and thank him.

'Cain doesn't even notice those things, and it looks like he walked back from the royal castle the other day.

Most nobles wouldn't be walking home from the royal castle.

Because I wanted to take a walk.

When I looked inside the carriage, there were about six people inside that could sit facing each other. Your father's carriage is large enough to hold ten people, but right now it's just as big as this one. We climbed into the still new carriage.

We take the two carriages to Cain's mansion.

It takes about twenty minutes to get from Garum's house to Cain's house by carriage.

I go under the gate and attach the carriage in front of the main entrance.

In front of the entrance, the butler and several maids are waiting in line. The head maid is Sylvia.

Sylvia is only eighteen years old, but she has been taking care of Cain for five years since he was just born.

Many of the new maids are a little younger than Sylvia.

Incidentally, the butler was also young. I guess she's still about twenty years old.

The steward greets you on behalf of the company.

"Garum Frontier Count, Baron Cain, I've been waiting for you, and my name is Coran, the new steward to Master Cain. I am Sebas's nephew. I have just heard that the position of Master Cain's steward has been advertised. I have heard from Sebas that Master Cain is a genius. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Then he lowered his head.

When I looked at Sebas-san's face, he smiled and winked at me.

It looks like Sebas-san knew about it. If it's a relative of Sebas-san's, on the contrary, it's a relief. It's also the fact that Sylvia is there.

The people we're going to hire at Cain's house are Coran the butler, Sylvia the head maid, three other maids, one head chef, one assistant cook, and a horse chopper and gardener.

When I wondered if it was okay to hire seven people all of a sudden, I was told that even if you add up the labor costs for all seven of them, a gold coin a month is enough. The white gold coin His Majesty gave me is still there, so I should be fine for the time being. And I'm sure the sales of Reversi will come in sooner or later.

Everyone comes into the mansion.

The same goes for the outside wall, but it's just as beautiful as new. Are you glad that we got this new house?

Sarah asks.

'As I recall, I was here once at the Viscount's Palace, but it wasn't as pretty as this.

Garm continued.

'We were going to clean it at first, too, but when we came in, there wasn't a speck of dust in it.

Sylvia replies.

'Oh, I cleaned that one myself. 'By magic the other day when I was here! And while we're at it, we magically repaired it and it looks so much better.

Both Garum and Sarah are dumbfounded.

'You forgot to mention that Cain is substandard,'

Take the family on a tour of the house. Everywhere you look, it's in new condition. I can't complain.

'Cain's only five years old, so I don't know about the decorations. Oh, well.

Indeed, there are no ornaments at all in this house.

What would be the point of decorations? I don't know much about paintings and vases.

Hmm. Sometimes an adventurer would display a large stuffed demon or something.

'I don't mind if you're a demon! Then I'll display it in the front. Because I'm sure a taxidermy could be done by magic in no time.

With that, Cain leaves his seat by himself. I come to the center of the hall and look in the dead item box to see which demons are good.

I look for what I want, and I find a good one. The entrance hall is an upstairs atrium, so the ceiling is somewhat high.

This would be cool and make a big impact even if we put it out.

And what I brought out was a red dragon with its head detached. It's not a terrestrial dragon or a flying dragon.

The main body is a demon that was about eight meters tall when its neck was extended.

I was deep in the depths of the demon forest, so I just had to fight it.

I placed the dragon's corpse in the center of the room and worked on my magic while solidifying my image.

Creative Creation (Creative Making)

The light envelops the dragon.

When the light disappears, there is a red dragon poised as if it were alive. Of course, it's not alive and it's stuffed.

''It's a good pose, the neck is nicely connected, it's better looking than a poorly made ornament.

Cain didn't realize it at this time. That he thought his standards for dragons remained the same in his previous life. That he thought dragons were cool. They are not what this world values.

In this world, dragons are a symbol of fear.

They are natural disaster-grade demons that will scatter flames if they appear in a city, and a small village can disappear in a day. This decorated demon is also classified as an SS-ranked demon in the Adventurer's Guild.

Of course, Cain, who is not even registered with the Adventurer's Guild, has no way of knowing this.

He returned to Garum and the others.

''I've decorated the central hall with stuffed demons. There aren't many ornaments, but I hope it's okay.''

'Hmm, okay. We'll see about that later.

As I was showing him around the upstairs office and other places, I heard a scream.

''Kyahhhhhh. !!!!!''

Garum and Cain heard the voices and composed themselves.

'It's coming from the lobby. I'll take the lead.''

Saying that, I take out my sword from the item box.

Looking down from the stairs, I saw the maids sitting down in the central hall.

Out of the maids' gaze is the stuffed dragon that I created earlier.

''Oh, I forgot to explain.''

It was Cain in a cold sweat.

'Cain, which stuffed demon did you put there?

Garum asks with a cold stare.

'I'm ... a dragon ...'

He replied with an apologetic look on his face.

Garum sighed, unable to say anything.

'For now, let's get everyone together. If we don't explain, it'll be the same again.'

Garum suggested it, and I agree to it.

The entire retinue from Garum and his family and the butler are now gathered in the hall.

''I'm sorry, I put this down without saying anything,''

As I pointed my finger at it, I saw a stuffed dragon positioned in the center of the hall.

'Cain, what did you do with this dragon?'

A cold voice comes flying in.

''I've secretly defeated it in the Demon Forest by myself: ...

「「「「「「......」」」」」」

My family and my squire are both immensely disappointed.

They couldn't believe that they had slayed a dragon, but who could imagine a five-year-old taking it down all by himself?

'We'll talk about it at length later.

... Yes.

He only responded to Garum's words with no effort.

''Even so, you're a Red Dragon. There's an SS-ranked class in this class. Just by selling this stuffed specimen, you can be sure to earn a hundred white gold coins. This is better than all the other stuffed animals. Are you going to register as an adventurer when you're ten years old?

One hundred platinum coins is a hundred ... billion dollars! Wow!

'A hundred white gold coins? .... I didn't know they were worth that much. When I turn ten years old, I'm going to register as an adventurer before I enter the school.

I can't say it's because I want to sell my dead demon collection.

''Well, don't take it too hard.

As I was talking, I heard another scream from the back.

This voice is my mother, Sarah.

'What's wrong this time?'

I headed to where Garum and his voice came from.

I headed to the bathroom.

Then a refreshed Sarah came out.

She's happy to find Cain's face.

'Cain-kun! What a toilet! It's amazing. It washes with water and even dries. I want that one in my house!

Oh, I see, I see. I used my previous life's knowledge to build a toilet.

A toilet with a shower flush, of course.  Woolet is the name of a certain manufacturer's product.

In my world, it's flushable, but it wasn't very good, so I made it.

The controls are set on the right side of the toilet seat, and when you touch it, water comes out of the magical stone inside.

When you touch it, water comes out from the magical stone inside, and when you sit on the toilet seat, the magical energy is automatically absorbed from the user. 

The first thing you can do is to get your own personal computer. Father, may I?

Mm. Good. I'll give it a try.

Garum was also in the bathroom.

A voice came from inside the toilet, "Ohohohohoh".

After a few moments, Garum came out, looking embarrassed.

''I want this to be put on immediately. Not only to the separate houses in King's Landing, but to the Gracia territory as well. Are you offering this for sale too?''

'I'm going to sell it eventually. But I'm not going to sell it to my family, so I'm going to go put it on.

Hmm. That helps.

But even so, Cain-kun, you really do things that are out of the ordinary.

Sarah. Basically, Sarah is my child and she is very tolerant of everything.

I think it really helps.

So much for the tour, I guess. Everyone in the family is leaving, but Cain is going to live here starting today.

As we were leaving, Garum said casually.

''The nobles who have newly set up their mansion in the royal capital need to hold an unveiling party, so make sure you hold it early.

What's that? !!!!

It was an exclamation point, Cain.
