Chapter 7

Using magic is quite tiring.

It would be fine if I just got hungry, but I often get sleepy.

That's why I slept like a log from yesterday evening, and it's noon now.

...Ah, sleeping in is the best.

It's incomparable to the days when I used to leave home at six in the morning and return by the last train. Rather, I have too much energy from oversleeping and end up taking a walk around the house during the day.

"But there are only trees and rocks everywhere."

Maybe because it's a dense forest, there are only strange animals and insects on the ground. Dragons are flying around, making loud noises, but they are far up in the sky. Moreover,

"P-Piggy!!"

When they notice me on the ground, they stop making noise and run away desperately. They are completely avoiding me. It might be because I blew a dragon away with one shout.

...I don't plan to hunt, though, as I have enough meat in storage.

Peace is good. My walk and the rest of the day are peaceful.

"I'm home."

"Welcome back."

When I return home, Sakura greets me with a warm lunch she has prepared.

I am happy.

Living in my home in this different world is the best, I thought,

"Master, monsters are approaching."

A problem has arisen. Monsters?

Even during lunchtime, troublesome fellows are coming, I thought as I looked out the window,

"Hahaha, there's a pool of magic power here..."

I saw multiple figures outside the window, muttering to each other.

"Are those monsters?"

"They are also called magic beasts. They are intelligent animals that follow their instincts."

Should I call them werewolves? Or beastmen?

Hairy men with dog ears were watching us. Moreover, they were not just in one direction.

"Osa! We are in position!"

"Overwhelming magic power... I didn't know such a thing existed... It is suitable for our werewolf clan. It is perfect for our clan to stand at the top."

From their voices, it seems they are divided into several groups.

"Is the decisive formation ready?"

"Everything is ready, Osa! What should we do about the presence inside?"

"It's decided! It's the formation that destroyed a warrior's city. We will devour it in one breath, just like last time!"

"Uooooooooo!!!"

There were dozens of very noisy creatures surrounding my house, each equipped with thick swords and spears.

"...What do they want?"

"They are drawn to our magic power. They are trying to intrude."

It's the same old story.

"I want to yell at them to shut up... but I don't want to eat lunch in anger."

I don't want my delicious lunch to be ruined by anger and frustration. Besides, there are too many of them, so it would be a hassle to blow them away with a shout.

"Ah, in that case, please use me."

"Use Sakura?"

"Yes, just like before when I was the medium for your magic, this time, I can set up traps around the house to drive them away easily."

Oh, there's such a convenient function.

"You can drive them away without leaving the house, amazing."

"Yes, with Master's magic power, I can even eliminate them."

That's good to hear. I'll use it right away.

"Then, please touch me."

Sakura sits down next to me. When I place my hand on her shoulder,

"Ah..."

She trembled. Instantly,

"---This is incredible."

A bird's-eye view of the house and its surroundings appeared in my mind.

"I am currently synchronizing my perception with Master. So, if you direct your magic power to the desired location, I will synchronize and set up the traps."

As expected of the house spirit. I can intuitively understand the layout of my property.

I can also sense the presence of intruders.

Sixty-five intruders are trying to enter my territory. But,

---This is my territory.

"I will not allow unauthorized entry."

I exert my magic power. The target is the apple trees around the house. This time, I go all out from the start.

"Rise, Wood Golems...!!"

The apple trees, receiving my magic power and image, stood up as commanded. They became soldiers to expel the intruders.

●

The werewolf leader was shocked by the sudden situation. After all, the nearby apple trees suddenly grew huge and started moving.

"What the hell is this!"

"Osa! Communication with the second squad has been cut off!"

"Second squad, second squad!? ---Damn, they were all blown away!"

The formation that constantly communicated and quickly surrounded the target was already broken.

"What is this creature?"

"No, Osa! This magic power is not from a creature. It's a golem."

"Don't be ridiculous. How can there be such a huge wood golem? At most, it should be human-sized."

Golems, as weapons, are at most twice the size of a human. But what was in front of them was different.

With a rumbling sound, the wood golems walked forward.

With each step, they absorbed nutrients from the roots and grew larger. They grew so big that their heads were out of sight.

The werewolves were paralyzed.

"What the hell is this giant...!"

Until the giant fist was right in front of them.

●

---Go, Wood Golems.

The wood golems, receiving the command, acted accordingly. That is,

"---!!"

Without a shout, they swung their massive fists. The pressure sent all the werewolves around the house flying deep into the forest.

"Ughaaaaa!!!"

They did not return. Now, there are no intruders around the house.

"Excellent, Master! The golems worked well!"

"I tried to grow the apple trees and see if they could do anything else, and they moved quite nimbly."

After several practices, they turned out to be excellent as a trap.

"---Anyway, let's have lunch."

"Yes! I'll serve the meal."

Then, I took my time and enjoyed my lunch.

Thank you for your support! Since it's a holiday, I'll update frequently! I plan to update three times today, in the morning (now), afternoon, and evening!
