The decision has been made to rebuild the clan cabin.

Suggestions were made by the Count and the general to establish a clan house in the city. However, my daughters seemed to disapprove.

They preferred this location.

ㅤ

It may be hard to believe, but they seem to have developed an attachment to the clan cabin that began from the remnants of a water mill.

ㅤ

So, the decision was made to build a proper clan house in the same location.

The Count will bear the cost.

ㅤ

Moreover, this time there will be an actual waterwheel.

Having water automatically drawn seems like a dreamlike convenience.

ㅤ

“Probably the only person who would be happy about a waterwheel in a place that used to be a water mill is Nelnel.”

ㅤ

I was laughed at by Salieri for that.

ㅤ

Ah, speaking of Salieri, she is also going to have her own private room.

It seems she has been ordered to stay here for a while, and will be operating as a temporary member of [Hope].

ㅤ

Anyway, the new clan house is a two-story stone building, with individual rooms for everyone, a living room, a kitchen connected to the dining room, and even a proper bathroom with a dressing room!

It’s incredible!

It’s like a proper house!

ㅤ

“Mother Nel. Mother Nel. It’s a house.”

ㅤ

I was admonished by Miliaria.

I guess I just got carried away because we’ve been making a lot by hand for so long.

ㅤ

By the way, since it’s not going to be full of gaps and lack airtightness like before, a cat door for the white cat, Lion King, to go in and out is going to be made.

Not only for the Lion King, but also for his wife and children.

ㅤ

Ah, while we were going to Masrur and fighting with the Royal Army, kittens were born.

They’ll stay with us for a while, and if they show any talent as hunters, the cat house will take them.

There are always many people eager to adopt a talented cat.

ㅤ

But well, since it’s not going to be completed today or tomorrow, we’ll be living in a lodge for a while.

ㅤ

“It feels strange not to have cooking and cleaning duties.”

“Yeah, it’s a bit unsettling.”

ㅤ

That’s a conversation between Meisha and Meg.

ㅤ

Basically, we’re not going to be staying overnight. We stay the night to avoid the dew, and we leave in the morning.

We hardly ever stay for several days.

ㅤ

The only time we stayed for a long time was probably when we were at Piran Castle.

Even then, it was uncomfortable because there were people who did chores, servants who took care of meals, and so on.

ㅤ

Asuka, Miliaria, Meisha, and I, who were raised in an orphanage, and Meg, who was raised in a thieves’ guild, aren’t exactly suitable for luxury and wealth.

ㅤ

ㅤ

ㅤ

ㅤ

ㅤ

One day, we visited the adventurer’s guild.

To be frank, we were just bored.

We can’t just sit around doing nothing at the lodge until the clan house is finished. We thought we might find some promising job.

ㅤ

“I never thought that Asuka would become a hero of the city.”

ㅤ

The staff member, Jennifer, is deeply moved.

They were clinging to their last hope because they couldn’t pay the sponsorship money. The three girls.

ㅤ

Now, they are heroes who probably nobody in Gaillia doesn’t know.

You can’t help but be dreamy.

ㅤ

“Ehehe-! Praise me more! Lots of praises!”

ㅤ

And, Asuka, who gets carried away easily.

ㅤ

“Don’t let it go to your head. It’s largely thanks to Lionel.”

ㅤ

She was thrown away.

ㅤ

“I know! If it weren’t for Mommy Nel, I might have died on the streets!”

“If you know, that’s good. Make sure to be grateful.”

“Haha-! Thank you, thank you.”

“Hey, you guys, when is that skit going to end?”

ㅤ

I gave them a half-lidded look.

I wonder why they always tease me when they all come together.

ㅤ

“Human virtue?”

ㅤ

Salieri tilted his head with a “hmm?”

At least remove the question mark.

ㅤ

“The job this time of year is mostly about hunting undead.”

“Guess so.”

ㅤ

The answer that came back after a round of fussing was something common.

Well, over thirteen thousand died in both armies, right?

There wouldn’t be a shortage of wandering ghosts or zombies crawling out of their graves.

ㅤ

“The request is from the Supreme God Church, so the reward isn’t that good.”

“Then we’ll do it. We have a priest with us.”

“Of course.”

ㅤ

Meisha patted her ample chest.

She’s full of enthusiasm.

ㅤ

She’s a follower of the Supreme God, and she’s been cared for by the Supreme God Church.

We can’t ignore profit margins, but if the pay is a little lower and it’s a job from the church, we want to take it.

ㅤ

“In that case, please go to Ameni village.”

ㅤ

Jennifer explained the details while asking for a signature on the receipt.

ㅤ

A village near Gaillia is being attacked by zombies every night.

The Supreme God Church’s barrier protects the village, but it’s creepy and scary, and the children are quite frightened.

ㅤ

All the towns and villages around Gaillia seem to be in this state.

The church’s monks are all out calming spirits, but there aren’t enough hands, so the work has been handed off to the Adventurers Guild.

ㅤ

“It’s a hassle to come back every time, so let’s take several jobs at once. Meg, try to come up with an efficient way to get around.”

“Understood.”

ㅤ

“Meisha. This job’s main role is yours. We’re counting on you.”

“Rest assured, I’ll take care of it.”

ㅤ

“Miliaria, no need for the Ice Wolf staff this time. Too bad.”

“This time, I’ll leave the credit to Meisha.”

ㅤ

While I was talking to the three of them, for some reason, Asuka and Salieri were looking at me with yearning.

Wait, you guys don’t expect special advice or anything, do you?

ㅤ

“Mother hen!”

“Such a spoilsport.”

ㅤ

When I told them, they stuck out their tongues and ran away.

You guys get along so well.
