Chapter 134: A Lazy Morning. In Other Words, the Usual Morning. Part 1
Well, for that reason, here was the rough refurbishment for the time being.
I plan to renovate only the interior while leaving the exterior as a rag house. I mean, having a run-down house suddenly turning into a beautiful one in less than half a day would only bring trouble. We would stand out in a bad way. Thats most of the reason.
After that, I had some ideas too.
We were fortunate that we were able to rent it at a fairly low rent thanks to the ridiculously discounted price. Plus, this house had a garden as well. Thanks to that, I could put the carriage and horses there. For the carriage, I made something like a simple tent, install it in the garden, and park them there. Horses would be in the way, so I put them in my [Storage]. I also remade the fence that separated the garden.
Although the appearance of the main building remained the same, having the wind blowing in would be bad for us, so I made sure to remodel the wall inside. I also made a living room where we could have meals, with a kitchen, storeroom, toilet, and bath in the back. The toilets water source was drawn from well, but its not like we would stay here for a long time, so we had to make compromises here. I could live comfortably with my magic anyway, so I wouldnt use it.
Fortunately, I could make a private bedroom for each of us. But I wouldnt do my daily routines here. While saying that, each room was soundproof and had a key. I made it like that so Lily and Arisa could have their private time as well.
I reused the bed that I had in my guest room. We should have a good nights sleep with this.
By the time we finished it in around an hour, it was already past 5 PM. We started preparing meals as soon as possible.
Since I had to take care of the bamboo shoots with no lye, todays meal was left to Lily and Arisa. I couldnt cook all the time, okay?
After dinner, we took a bath. Lily approached me with a smile when we took a break.
Ren, I have something to say. Please sit there for a moment. Lily? Please sit down. Um Sit straight on the floor. Yes.
I couldnt defy her pressure. She asked me to sit on the floor Well, this house had similar specifications as mine, so we took off our shoes inside. Sitting there wouldnt be a problem too, but she was angry, wasnt she? I was a bit scared.
I followed her order and sat down, deciding that it would be safer to do as she said here.
Uh? Ren, I didnt say anything since we had no time in the morning, but we have decided on many things when we organized the party, right? Ren, you said this at that time. That we shouldnt do anything dangerous, and not act alone. And yet, why did you go to collect bamboo shoots alone? I admit were also at fault for not waking up, but thats a different story, isnt it? Yes, Im sorry. In the first place, Rens sense of crisis is too weak. Listen, okay? In the first place
Eh, I got scolded? I know I was a bit too much, but she didnt need to get so angry Ah, Im sorry. Its nothing.
This is bad. Lily is very angry.
With this pace, I would get scolded for over an hour. Its true that I was wrong here, but sitting on the floor for a long time would be too painful!
Are you listening to me! Im sorry.
When I started to get tired of listening, something heavy was placed on my head. What is this?
Peeking back, it was Norn. Or to be precise, Norns front leg.
Then she began to put her weight on it and gradually pushed my upper body forward. Hey, heavy! What!? Eh? Why!?
Eh? She scolded me because she was worried about me, so I should listen properly? No, Im listening Heavy! Youll crush me! Ill vomit!
I waved my hand and tried to resist, but there was no effect. Ugugu, Ill collapse!
And somehow Norn signaled to Lily to continue the scolding! Stop! I still had some HP, but I almost died!
In the end, Norn curled up and fell asleep on the spot with her front legs still on the top of me after the scolding ended, and I was forced to spend all night in a forced dogeza position.
The next morning, Norn finally moved away before Lily and Arisa woke up, and I was released from that uncomfortable position But my legs I-I couldnt stand up.
In this case, I recovered my energy with a potion. Yeah, I can stand now.
But Lily was scary yesterday After that, Arisa told me that I shouldnt go beyond a certain line and anger her. Tell me that sooner
However, it was just as Norn said. She was worried about me, so I was a little happy. Even I realized that I was being too naive.
I thought about it overnight, and I came to the conclusion that my alertness had become even weaker because I felt more secure thanks to this party. And I was relying too much on the armors security when we were hunting goblins in the forest.
In other words, this was all my feelings fault. I was being too lenient
I thought about how to deal with this as well. And I decided to use [Multitasking], always using [Danger Detection], [Danger Avoidance], and [Sign Detection].
I used to apply lower skills and I didnt use higher skills since I didnt think I need to be so on guard all the time. But this case left me wide open, so lets use the harder one.
Eh? Could I do multitasking all the time? Its actually super easy, though.
Before it became a skill, I used to divide my thinking into a hundred sections, but after it became [Multitasking] skill, the sections increased all at once every time it leveled up. Since it was LV6 now, 6 more 100s were added in addition to the original 100. So that was 700 in total. Usable all the time. Too crazy. By the way, that meant there were seven sections of 100 different thoughts, not 700 in total. It seemed to be similar but slightly different.
Then I divided them and used them as before, indulging in various thoughts while living normally.
But thats probably why I got so careless at times No, Im going to train from now on!!
Hm? Why dont I use various skills all the time then? Hey, see Using it to its maximum potential would make me go crazy, okay?
Anyway, Ill improve! I swear!
