Chapter 58. Guild House
Carol, the mayor of Carmelo Town, asked me to form a guild against Ancient Blood, and three days after I accepted it, it was midday.
The four of us were stunned in front of a certain building. It's a big house on the outskirts of town.
It used to be a fine inn, but the town bought it due to bankruptcy, and now it is managed by the village of Carmelo.
It was originally a large inn, and its exterior is quite magnificent. However, it's nothing compared to the cheap hotels we used to be based in.
The triangular roofs are connected and look like a composite of multiple buildings. It appears to be a remnant of a restaurant and other facilities when it was previously run as an inn.
By the way, the edge of the triangular roof usually faces down diagonally, but it is curled slightly upward, like a ditch.
The ditch seems to have been designed with an angle of inclination, and the ends of the triangular roof are connected like drainage pipes.
By doing so, rainwater can be discharged from one place, but if it is just rainwater avoidance, there is no need to bother with such a design.
The main reason for this design seems to be because of the slime rain.
When slime falls from the sky onto the triangular roof, it flows down into a ditch made at the roof and is discharged from one place like a waterslide.
By limiting the discharge location, traps and other measures against slime can be set to make it easier to exterminate and capture.
Slime Rain, where slime falls like rain, is an architectural style. It is a unique style where abnormal weather occasionally occurs. Even in Japan, zones where typhoons are likely to come, the buildings are designed with proper countermeasures.
We looked at such a large house in silence, but finally, Lucia spoke.
"This is the place.... It's the house we're going to live in since today!"
Hearing Lucia's joyful cry, we looked at each other.
Lucia is right, from today onwards we will live in this house.
After the mayor asked us to form a guild, the staff of the Adventurer's Guild explained in detail an official guild, and a new fact was discovered.
Now that I'm in front of the Guild House, I take a moment to reflect on how it happened.
Unlike unofficial guilds, which can be established if they do themselves. There are procedures and precautions related to forming an official guild involving the state.
I managed the procedure for forming a guild with the support of the Adventurer's Guild staff, such as reading and signing a contract with a long and complicated sentence, and making timely corrections while checking the activities of the guild required by the government.
By the time I had finished writing each formality, Lucia and I were tired, but the last confirmation revealed a fact that blew away the fatigue.
"Then the procedure for forming an official guild is completed here, and from now on, we will rent out a house on the outskirts of town as a guild house as a place for guild activities, so please feel free to use it."
The guild official said it as if it were nothing, so Lucia and I missed it at first, but we quickly understood the meaning of the words and couldn't hide our surprise.
"What!? Will our guild even rent out the guild house!?"
"Yes, it's an official guild, so that's natural. The building of our Adventurer's Guild is also rented from the town."
I asked the guild staff who smiled with their usual sales smile.
"About the Guild House... Can I live there?"
"Of course, you can live in the Guild House, but only guild members. Akira's party members are eligible, and if other people live in the Guild House, they will be asked to submit a document with their name, affiliation, and justification for living in the Guild House. And the mayor will judge whether it is appropriate. Please keep that in mind."
I don't have any plans to do that at this moment, so there's nothing wrong with that.
This means that Lucia and I, as well as Noel and Sakuya, can live in the Guild House unconditionally.
Lucia and I looked at each other and involuntarily held each other's hands.
"I did it, Akira! We can say goodbye to living in a cheap hotel! My dream love nest with Akira has come true!"
"I won't live in an inn anymore!"
"But it's not a love nest, is it?" I nailed Lucia, but whether she could hear me or not, Lucia loosened her lips and stared at the ceiling.
"From now on, every day will start a new life of waking up with Akira in the morning and waking up next to him"
'It's not going to be a new start. It's a new life when you come to another world. Also, what is morning? Do you want to wake up with me?'
"That's good, I want to wake up refreshed in the morning."
"Morning is a woman's longing. Hehehehe!"
At first glance, she seems to be a serious guild employee, but her roots are lascivious because of the world. I don't know the reason, but when she was supporting the guild formation procedure, she was so reliable and grateful. But I see them hitting it off with lascivious like this, I think She is just an idiot on the same level as Lucia.
Aside from the guild staff, when I see Lucia who is still lewd, I feel a little anxious about living with her in the guild house, but the joy is still greater.
I didn't expect that I would be able to form an official guild, but they would also rent out the guild house as a place to work.
"However, even though it was managed by the town, the inside of the building was left unattended for a long time. We are going to have a contractor inspect it once and you can use it in about three days."
When we returned to the inn, Lucia and I told Noelle and Sakuya about this fact, and we spent about three days excitedly.
"Akira? Akira! What are you doing in a daze?"
I hear Lucia's loud voice in my ear and I am startled.
Thinking back on how I came to live in the guild house, I am a little dazed because I was immersed in the emotions of that time.
I didn't have to remember the crap in the morning.
"I know you're already thrilled to see the guild house of your dreams, but you haven't even entered the house yet, have you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, but there's something quite a bit about me."
From my point of view, it's like having my own home. Of course, this is a rented house by the government, but there is no doubt that it has become a home in this world.
I was summoned from Earth, and I don't have a home of my own in this world.
I'm sure Lucia, Noelle, and Sakuya have a birthplace they can call home, but I don't have one.
When the bad time comes, there is nowhere to go. There is a difference between a family home which you can return to in case of an emergency and not having one.
Living in an inn daily was stressful due to the gradual increase in anxiety in that area, but now that I have a house to live in, I feel like I am free from that stress.
However, I would like to have my own house someday, but I never thought I would get it in this form.
The house was rented out as a guild house, if we can continue to achieve reasonable results by working as an official guild, we should not be deprived of the house.
It's safe to say that it's practically our home... No, I don't know the future.
It may be possible that tomorrow I will suddenly be taken away from the guild house. But even if I think optimistically today, I don't think I'll hit the jackpot.
Perhaps sensing my feelings, Lucia nodded.
"I understand Akira's feelings because we can live under the same roof. Until now, I couldn't flirt with you because I was worried about the thin walls of cheap accommodations, but from now on, I don't have to worry about that. Every day I wake up with Akira in the morning after a night of having sex... The new life of such a dream begins today!"
This guy didn't know how I felt. As usual, there is nothing but lewdness in her head.
Next to me, who was stunned by Lucia, Noelle, and Sakuya were also happy in front of the guild house.
"It's a pretty good house because it used to be an inn. I think It can easily live in about ten people."
"Amazing! It would be fun to live here with all of you."
"It's fun just imagining living with a boy under one roof every day! It's a royal road to erotic happenings where you accidentally run into Akira taking a bath! We decided to take a bath together, and we washed each other's bodies, and while warming up with hot water, we warmed up our bodies, Oh my God!"
"I want to be ordered by Akira not to wear clothes while I'm in the house, and I'm forced to live an embarrassing naked life."
These two are no good, either. Their head is full of lewdness.
I wonder if it's okay to live in the same house with these lewd...
I'm a man, too. I'm happy to live with such beautiful women, and I'm expecting a naughty development.
But These guys are stupid...
"Hah" sighing, I pat my cheek to regain my spirits."Okay, let's go inside for now."
Anyway, we have to go inside the house first.
As I walked towards the front door, Lucia and the others followed me with a light step. With a lascivious face.
It looks like a fine inn, but when you get closer, it's quite old. But I was so uplifted that I didn't care.
After all, it's my home, my house!
For the time being, we have to pay the maintenance fee of the building to the town once a year. Moreover, this maintenance fee will be used to repair this guild house for damage due to a disaster, for example, so it is not a loss for us.
With a sense of urgency, I threw open the entrance door and walked into the guild house.
