Volume 2 Chapter 4-1: Sakura’s Preference

After being healed by the open-air bath I fell asleep satisfied. In the morning I had the chance to relax since we had reached a stopping point in our moving process.

I decided to help Sistina with the preparations for the carpenter’s celebration this afternoon, but we didn’t have to go out and purchase ingredients because we requested the Base Company to deliver them to our home.

I would have to talk to Will-san about the precise cost, but that would only start just before noon and even then it wouldn’t be too difficult.

Last night after getting out of the bath we had headed to the bedroom where I had decided to make liberal use of Magic Power Conversion (can also be read Magic to Vigor Conversion), so in the morning each of us got up in our own time and moved freely.

As expected, the one who got up earliest was Sistina, who made a light breakfast once everyone woke up.

Around the same time Hotaru-san got up and headed to the mountains from the backyard so she was probably training by herself. My training would consist of foundational training until Hotaru-san’s personal training reached a certain point.

The one who stuck with me cuddling the longest was Sakura, but we flirted around too much and got fired up, so we ended up doing some ‘love training’ until we were satisfied and then got up and left the bedroom. 

While I was in sage mode, I entered the indoor bath and washed myself before exiting with a refreshed mood. I strolled into the kitchen where Sistina handed me a delicious sandwich think cut bread, ham-like meat, and some spicy sauce, which I enjoyed thoroughly.

I had wondered where Sistina was all this time, but she was already getting to work in the kitchen preparing for the afternoon.

After gazing at her butt swaying from side to side as she worked in the kitchen I couldn’t help but feel mischievous and snuck up behind her to grab her twin mountains. She got really angry at me since she had been handling a knife, but I continued to fondle them without giving up and Sistina’s eyes eventually misted over so I managed to succeed in having some kitchen ‘fun’ which I was definitely looking forward too. How satisfying.

I had found this out from the bath last night, but Sistina got much more embarrassed of such “deeds” when done outside of the bedroom, seeing her get so disheveled and lovely was incredible. This was once again something I managed to learn thanks to the great decision to buy my own home.

Will-san arrived while we were still putting ourselves in order after our activities and unfortunately that meant my little vacation was over. It was truly a meaningful break.

As Will-san entered the reception room, Sistina greeted him with a drink.

「You’ve really helped us with these recent matters, thank you.」

「No, we’re also pleased with this as well. We bought a good magic stone, remodeled the mansion, and sold furniture and various goods, so it was good business for us.」

「Well then, let us proceed to square away our costs.」

Basically, when it came to negotiations I would leave it up to Sistina. This time we wouldn’t use Negotiation Arts as long as the price was reasonable and would agree to the price they set.

「Alright, then first of all the price of the mansion which was set at 4.75 million mars.」

「Yes.」

「Then the bed and mattress along with various other furniture comes to 20,000 mars, the backyard and mansion remodeling originally cost 350,000 mars, but you gave our architects and carpenters various new techniques and ideas so we lowered the price to 200,000 mars as payment.」

Oooh! How smart and kind!

I did in fact make some suggestions based on my amateur knowledge on how to make the waterway and the cabin out back, but I didn’t think any of it was so impressive to warrant that discount.

Actually, now that I look…aren’t there too many remodeled things in the mansion?

「Umm, Will-san I’m seeing various things that I do not remember requesting on this bill, what could this be?」

「Eh? That shouldn’t be the case…Sakura-sama did make some additional requests during construction I believe…」

Hm? Sakura did?

I didn’t recall anything particular that she was dead set on….

At that moment I remembered the meeting back at the Base Company a week ago when she said…

『Actually Sakura wants an attic or loft kind of thing!』 thing….thing….thing…thi…

Sakura’s excited voice echoed in my head like a refrain. It can’t be but…

「Sistina, I’ll leave this place to you for a moment.」

「Yes.」
