CHAPTER 79: UNVEILING (PART 3)
「Ohh, a futon. Does this mean I can sleep inside as well?」「That’s correct. If you move the table to the side, you should have enough space to lay it down.」
Mira turned around to ask that, and Doug happily replied as he stood smiling watching from outside. That futon had been built specifically with Mira’s height in mind.
「We thought there would be a time in the future when you have to camp outdoors. You can add as much furniture as you may need as well, but that’s something you can enjoy doing yourself. What do you think? It’s like a moving house, or maybe a secret base would sound better?」
Solomon’s face peeked below Doug’s, a childish smile on his face. The wagon had been designed more as a transportable place where she could live rather than a mere vehicle. It was any man’s dream to have a space only for himself after all, so that was the main focus of the wagon.
「Mhm, it’s the best!」
After closing the closet, Mira replied satisfied as she walked around running her fingers along the wall adorned with white brushstrokes. Doug was feeling just as satisfied as well.
(It looks much more relaxing than my house with my wife.)
Thinking that, Doug began planning on building something similar for himself.Once she was done looking at everything, Mira sat on the small chair to check how it felt. Just as she did that, the plant on top of the kotatsu entered straight into her view.
「By the way, what plant is this?」
At first glance, it resembled a Japanese morning glory, but it had no flowers. It was just inside a small white planter spreading its leaves along a mesh set up on it. There were no particular features to the leaves, but since there were no other furnishings apart from the kotatsu and the chair, it was weird that only this plant would be added, so Mira asked that. Doug promptly gave her an answer.
「That plant is called Thin Mist Grass, and it grows wildly mostly near volcanic zones. This type has been bred to excel at photosynthesis and air purification, so even if you were completely isolated inside there, as long as you had light, it would produce enough air for one person to breathe.」「That sounds truly useful.」
In other words, it was a natural air purifier. Thinking how thoughtful they were to add it there, Mira poked at the Thin Mist Grass leaves while saying 「Nice to meet you」 to it in her mind.
「They are really easy to breed too, and the light equipped with the wagon is enough to activate it. You can read more in those papers over there. It’s pretty much the wagon’s manual, so make sure to look at it.」
After Doug mentioned that, Mira turned to look again and saw a few papers beside the pot, so she nodded while saying 「Alright.」 and then stood up.
「Next you should find a place to park it. You can go outside with it when we’re done looking at it. You can’t just leave it here all the time after all.」
After Solomon said that, Mira jumped out of the wagon and the workers promptly got to work moving it.
「A place to park it, huh. I can’t just turn it into an item and store it in my Item Box? That sounds like a faster option.」
As they followed the wagon being pulled away, Mira asked that. Solomon quickly began shaking his head.
「That’s one thing you can’t do. Wagons get categorized as vehicles, so they’re not regular items. Apparently there are other items that can’t go inside there either, depending on their size and weight.」

「Hmmm, so it’s not as all-purpose as I thought.」
As the two conversed like that, the wagon crossed the large gates of the workshop and was carried outside. The sky had already begun turning into the colors of dusk. When Mira looked around, she spotted the stable just beside there. Further along that direction was their current destination, the parking lot which was filled with multiple small sheds lined up which stored the carriages. It felt like a scenery of only carriages one after another as far as she could see.
「This will be the exclusive shed for your wagon, Lady Mira.」
The shed she was led to was the furthest to the left. It looked quite similar to the other sheds, and the workers pushed the wagon inside.
「The next time you arrive in it when going to the castle, it’ll be carried here, so make sure you remember this place.」
「Mhm, I’ll remember it.」
Solomon and Mira stood in front of the shed with the wagon, their arms crossed and watching with relaxed faces how that dream had materialized.
「His Majesty, Lady Mira.」
Dinner was being held in a lounge beside the office, and while they headed that way together with Lily, they ran into Luminaria who was also going to join them for dinner. Since Mira had been in the bath before, Luminaria noticed the way her cheeks and jaw hung loosely and somewhat full of lust, so she mumbled 「Did you have fun?」 to Mira’s ear, to which she replied with 「To my heart’s content.」 A dark, blacker than coal tar smile spread on both their lips after that.
That day’s dinner was carried on by letting the maids and servants stay outside, so the three good friends spent a good time being reunited after so long. They began talking about random idle topics, then switched to more tough state-related stories, and then to how the development was going for the doll made with the glittering seeds she had harvested once. They also sprinkled some talks about the other players between the idle topics. From how animated they all were, it was impossible to guess that this was in fact a dinner overloaded with top state secrets.
