Chapter 3

After dispelling the dragons and witches with a single shout,

"Master, Master..."

I heard a voice shaking me, wrapped in my futon.

"Mmm... What is it..."

"Lunch is ready, Master."

When I opened my eyes, there was a cute girl in a kimono.

Actually, she was giving me a pillow on her lap.

It was very soft and very warm.

"I might fall back asleep..."

"Hehe, Master..."

But, wait a minute...

Why is such a girl in my house?

"...Did I forget to lock the door..."

"No, it was securely locked. Besides, I don't let anyone in except Master."

Is that so? If that's the case,

"...Why is there a girl in my house? Who are you?"

"Ah... I apologize for not introducing myself earlier. My name is Sakura. I am the spirit of the house you own and currently live in."

I see, a house spirit.

Impressive, just like in another world.

For the house to be personified as a cute girl.

"I'm surprised too. Coming to this world has made my existence more substantial. After being born a few decades ago, I finally get to meet Master. I am very happy to be Master's possession."

Sakura blushed, bowed her head, and said this while kneeling on the spot.

On her head, there was a hair ornament shaped like a cherry blossom petal.

"Sakura... Sakura, huh."

Now that I think about it, the main pillar of my house is a cherry tree, isn't it?

Is that where the name comes from?

"I'm touched...! To be remembered by Master...!!"

Sakura blushed and was delighted.

I remembered this because my grandfather always said it.

"---This large, thick, and long cherry tree as the main pillar is rare."

"Thank you. And by the way, I used the contents of the refrigerator to make lunch. You must be hungry after moving to a new world, so please, have some."

"Wow, thank you."

While eating the lunch Sakura prepared, I asked her,

"Hey, Sakura. You seem to know about the other world, but why was this house and I summoned?"

The witches were talking about magic power or something.

"It's because the house and land you own, which is me, was a magic spot that stores magic power."

"Ah, a magic spot, huh."

That sounds like something that would be involved with magic.

Come to think of it, those witch girls were talking about something called 'earth veins' earlier?

"Those girls have a shallow understanding and are causing confusion, but the correct term is 'dragon veins.' To put it simply, it's a place where power accumulates."

I see.

It's a bit hard to understand, but it's a place where a lot of power gathers, right?

"No, it's not just a place. Master also has the same amount of power gathered within you."

"Really?"

"Perhaps Master hasn't noticed? The power stored in your body."

Stored? I don't quite understand.

What I store is probably just chronic fatigue from being a salaryman and a few decades' worth of unused potential. No, I went off on a tangent, but in reality, I don't feel like I have anything special stored.

"No, that's not possible. Master, who has lived in me since birth, is filled to the brim with the energy of the dragon veins, which is magic power."

"Come to think of it, I did release a huge shockwave just by shouting."

Could that be what you're talking about?

"Yes! However, that was just a small part of the power. Just a glimpse—proof is better than words. I think you'll feel it more if you use it in various ways."

"Right, I see. Then I'll try it out later."

Sakura smiled brightly.

With her, I decided to investigate how to use magic.

The next part will be updated in the evening. For a while, I'll be posting two to three episodes at a time.
