Chapter 411

Room exploration.

“Well then, why don’t I check the rooms first?”

Since I saw Mrs. Dora off at the entrance hall, I decided to look around here… the hall, first.This spacious room that is big enough to be called a hall, seems large enough to host Kurogane in his big form.There is a hanger for coats and a full-length mirror to check one’s appearances right across the door, but there’s nothing else besides that, it’s completely deserted.It’s of this size most likely to allow large-sized Sacred Beasts and magic beasts to come in and out.… What would I do if my contracted Sacred Beasts was a Unicorn, I wonder?Are there stables within one of the other rooms or something…?I advanced through the spacious corridor with questions in my mind, and checked a bathroom and toilet that were on the way.I was getting excited since so far. The rooms were arranged like rooms of a mansion from my past life, so I was looking forward to the upcoming dormitory life.

“I wonder what this place is… oh.”

When I opened the door and peeked inside, the mini kitchen was there.When compared to the kitchen in our mansion, it surely was a mini kitchen, but considering the days I spent living alone in my past life, it was large enough.

There was a big sink with two magic stoves, shelves with tea utensils and tableware, a table in place of the kitchen unit and a service wagon.Err, as expected, there’s no cold room… ah, a small magic refrigerated box found.Well, I have an Inventory, so this much is alright with me.It’s regrettable that there’s no magic oven, though.Luckily, there’s space for appliances, so let’s just buy it.My repertoire will increase with the oven here.There was a magic stone set in the magic stoves and the sink, and there was a kettle-like container with a simple tea set on the shelf.I decided to test it by boiling water and making tea.When I touched the magic stone on the sink, water came out of the faucet that was incorporating a water magic formula.I quickly filled the kettle with water, wiped off the droplets with a towel, and placed it on the magic stove.When I touched the magic stone on the magic stove, the flames under it ignited.The magic stove seemed to be the old-fashioned type as it was set with several smaller magic stones that adjusted the heat by touching them.Touching one magic stone was for gentle heat, two to three for medium heat, and four for high heat.Touching the big magic stone twice will turn off the flame.

It was the old-fashioned type most likely because no one used this room for so long.Well, the flames on the stoves of the newest type stove can be adjusted freely with a dial, so I hope to exchange it if possible.

If a replacement is not possible, then I heard from Mariel-chan when we went out for teaabout a tabletop stoves that apparently have good performance, so I might buy one of those.It seems quite convenient to have one in my Inventory anyway.I have no way to buy one now, though.Hmm, hmm, the water started boiling while I was looking around the kitchen, so I retrieved tea leaves from the Inventory.While waiting for the tea to finish, I took out my favorite tea set and put it on the shelf, and thought about where to put other kitchen utensils such as the chopping board and pots.… It would seem easier to consult with Miria when she arrives.I will have Miria help me with cooking from now on.Actually, I have never made sweets together with Miria before.Fufu, I’m looking forward to it a bit.The tea got finished in the meantime, so I decided to move rooms to drink tea with Mashiro and Kurogane.

At that very moment, the magical telephone in my sight started flashing.
