“It’s spectacular, Matilda”

“Yes, it’s wonderful, Noein-sama.”

Noein’s mansion, which was under construction at a terrifying pace, was completed in mid-September.

It’s quite small for an aristocratic mansion, but it’s more than enough for Noein’s territory. In addition, there is still room for further expansion through the renovation.

This is because Noein expected the future development of the Arkvist territory and wanted to have a mansion suitable for its lord.

It is a two-story building with a horizontally long rectangular shape when viewed from directly above, and is equipped with a living room, dining room, bedroom, guest room, and a set of rooms and facilities such as a kitchen and bathroom.

In addition, such living areas were concentrated on one side of the mansion, with Noein’s office, a large office for attendants, and a drawing room for visitors on the other side. In addition, there are some private rooms for when a live-in servant is created.

Practical construction that emphasizes ease of life and work rather than luxury. Noein was very pleased with the completion of the mansion, saying that it was his own mansion.

“The walls are thick and strong. You can make a loud voice at night without worrying about the outside, Matilda. It’s good.”

“……Yes”

When Noein makes fun of him, Matilda turns his face red and nods.

But what Noein said is not just a joke or a joke.

To worry about the voice leaking means that the wall of the tent is thin. Although it is made of thick cloth and waterproofed, it is natural because it is a cloth.

Until now, it was spring and summer, so I didn’t have to worry about the cold, but I could endure the rainy season. The tent was set up in a place that was one step higher than the surroundings by filling the soil, so it did not flood to the inside, but even so, the rain every day tended to make me feel depressed.

But from now on, you can live in a mansion with strong walls and a roof. Don’t worry about the rainy season or winter. This is a big deal.

It is no exaggeration to say that the history of the Arkvist territory will finally begin in earnest with the establishment of a cultural living environment and the completion of a symbolic building called the “lord’s mansion”.

・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・

After the completion of Noein’s mansion, the construction of the houses of the lords will proceed at once.

Unlike the lord’s mansion, which uses a lot of building materials such as bricks, this is a simple wooden house, but it is still more comfortable than the traditional tent living.

The house of Yuri, the chief servant, was completed ahead of other lords’ houses. This is a little bigger than the other lords because of his position.

Recently, he often directs lapis lazuli mining at campsites in the Restio Mountains, but now that his house is complete, he has returned to his place of residence.

“… I’m impressed. Will I finally own a house?”

After leaving his parents’ house, he continued to move as a mercenary, and even after that he fell into a bandit. Now that I have farmland, I have taken the position of a servant chief who serves the lord aristocrat, and even got a house.

The environment beyond this is undesirably satisfying.

Mai, the woman of Yuri, who will soon be officially his wife, stands beside him, leaning on his arm and happily looking at their house.

“Let’s be happy … No, I will definitely make you happy, my”

“Yes, you”

While exchanging such words, thinking about the bright future in the future,

“Huhhh, it’s hot from daytime. Even though it’s outdoors.”

Noein walked while pouring water.

“shut up”

“Oh, you don’t have to look scary like that, because the farmland and the house are gifts from me.”

Noein tells Yuri, who has a stuffy face, as usual.

It’s true that he’s right, and it’s no exaggeration to say that Yuri’s current happiness was all given by Noein, but only when he was deeply moved in front of his long-cherished home. I want you to be careful.

“Are you satisfied with your house?”

“… Oh, of course. I can’t complain. I’m still grateful to the lord and I swear my loyalty.”

Yuri answers so while feeling a little shy.

“That was good. I don’t have to worry about being killed in this condition.”

I couldn’t understand what Noein’s noisy words were for a moment, and I ended up with Kyoton, but when I realized the meaning, a bitter smile leaked.

“By the way, there was such a story.”

“Eh? Did you forget it? What is it? I was really serious about it and doing my best.”

On the day he met Noein and was invited to come to his territory, Noein said he could kill him if he didn’t try to be a good lord. Yuri nodded to it.

At that time, I really thought so, but when I opened the lid, Noein was a good lord who cared for his territory with all his heart.

He doesn’t trust anyone other than himself and his territory, and sometimes he has a strong and evil face when it comes to his father and people outside his territory, but he is a respectable lord on the part of the protected lord. There is no doubt.

“It’s okay to say that promise wasn’t there anymore. I don’t doubt your temperament anymore. If one day you make a mistake as a lord, I’ll responsibly apologize as the chief servant.”

“I’m glad it’s good. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about being cut, but I don’t like receiving sermons. I’ll continue to do my best as a lord.”

Noein leaves the scene, leaving behind with a funny face. It seems that Yuri and Mai are taking care not to disturb them anymore.

・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・

Starting with the completion of Yuri’s house, the houses of the territories will be completed one by one.

Building a house for ordinary people is much simpler than Noein’s mansion. In addition, a large amount of timber was originally piled up in this place of residence. Therefore, the construction pace is as fast as Noein’s mansion.

After graduating from the tent life of the household where the house was built, he moved to a new house, and his place of residence suddenly became like a village.

In addition to the house, the purchase of the horse that Noein had secretly wanted for a long time has come true. It’s a packhorse, not a warhorse, but it allows Noein to leave this task to one of his servants without having to control the horse-shaped golem himself and go shopping for Letovik every time.

In addition, a small number of chickens have been kept in the area of residence, and stables and chicken coops have been built.

Pioneering that goes smoothly no matter who sees it. However, there was a big problem because it was going well.
