Chapter 228: Ideal Form

 

 

Hmm, it’d be nice if there’s a chilly plate in the dressing room of the bath. Ah, but aren’t stone plates more suitable for saunas in the bathroom…?

The interior of the castle is mostly finished now. The vents have small screens on them, probably put there by the stonemasons who remodeled the interior for me. Ah, but they’re not windows.

At first, I made a frame and weaved a net using the whiskers of fox monsters, but the results are…each strand’s thickness is different, so it’s so-so, not really bad but not that good either. Nah, scrap that, I’d rate it one star. And so, I ended up asking the spider spirit to help me out and weave the net for me.

Spiders spin non-sticky silk radially which they tread on when making their web, so I asked the spirit spider to use only that. Thanks to that, it made a web that bugs can’t get in, but they won’t get tangled in it either. Moreover, the pattern is similar to the lace I bought in Telmist before.

I installed lights on the walls and on the ceiling; they’re basically spirit lanterns since they’re easier to use, but I opted to use a regular lamp for the bedrooms since it won’t do if we can’t turn off the light when it’s time to sleep. I don’t like removing the magic stones to drive the spirits away from the spirit lanterns after all.

Spirit lanterns consume a lot of magic stones, but I still have tons of unsold stones accumulated in Canum so it’s not a problem.

After that, I carried sofas and beds into the respective bedrooms and arranged them so that they’ll suit the room perfectly. They’ve been customized to fit along the circular walls.

This should be this tall — I mark the walls with white chalk. I’m planning to relax on the bed while dragon-watching, so the windows are the same height as the bed. Ah, maybe slightly higher so that the quilt won’t stick out of the window?

The sofa installed on the lowest floor didn’t have backrests; they ran along the walls in a semi-circular fashion. They leave enough space so that they won’t block the door. The height of the window sill is around 30 cm from the sofa seat, perfect for putting coffee cups on the window sill when using it as a table.

The walls are thick so the space of the bay window — ah, no, it’s not really jutting out — is around the width of a shelf or so. I’m planning to put huge cushions on the sofa so folks can use them as a backrest. The tower is 10 meters above sea level, but the waves come crashing and spraying water from time to time so I’m going to put a glass door that matches the windows.

Folks jump from the high cliffs and plunge into the sea from time to time, but that’s about it. They kinda resemble the countryside kids jumping from the riverbank one after the other. It looks really pleasant and fun especially in the summer heat.

I can probably do that with my current body’s ability…I think! Ah, but there’s so many rocks and boulders beneath the sea, so it’s scary! — Maybe I’ll try cliff diving after I rode a boat to check the situation under the sea.

Oceans and rivers have currents swirling around so there’s places that are actually more dangerous than they appear to be. Despite that, the kids plunge into the water without any hesitation. They probably know all the safe spots by word of mouth among them. I’m a bit envious of that too.

The island is surrounded by land on three sides so the waves are normally calm. However, spirits and monsters exist in this world, so it’s apparently common for a terrible storm to suddenly occur, making whirlpools in the sea and waves rising 5m high. Whenever that happens to Es’s Kingdom’s side, the water level here recedes.

Must be tough for the folks who trade by ships, although it’s quite fun looking at the raging sea from afar in a safe place. I want to see all sorts of scenery, be it calm or dreadful.

Alright, I’m done with the preparations, so time for window installation.

…I’ll probably be scolded for standing out seeing it’s noon now. Besides, although ships supposedly don’t sail right beneath my tower, it’ll be a problem if part of the stone wall fell on them in a one-in-a-million-chance. Alright, let’s just sneakily work on it at night.

We’re going to have a drinking party with Dean and the guys tomorrow, so I’ll just do some prepwork for cooking and play lots with Riche since I won’t be able to do that for a night.

And so, I decided to do the adjustments during nighttime.

First is the bedroom. The bed frame has been placed temporarily inside, so I move that out of the way first, then I followed the white chalk markings as I cut the wall with 『Zanzenken』, starting with a small cut followed by another cut parallel to it, then I slash horizontally to connect the two, leaving a 4cm rectangular crevice behind.

The section of the wall that I removed wasn’t that thick but I still chuck it into 【Storage】. If you’re wondering about the crevice, I’m going to insert a spirit iron into it.

I have more spirit iron than gold and silver and also a good amount of spirit copper, which is easier to process. I’ve already used spirit copper to make a lot of stuff like the spirit lanterns. The metals were about to run out, so I purchased ordinary iron and copper ingots and left them piled up inside the workshop. Yup, I really did that.

The spirits changed the ordinary iron into spirit ones and now there’s more than enough. They also went along with my request and made them into 4cm iron bars, which I now inserted into the crevice on the wall. I made a series of 4cm crevices, filled them up until I finished the vertical support for the stones before moving on to do the same for the horizontal sides..

And that’s how I created a frame-slash-wall-support for the window. The end result was a frame running along the edge of the walls, and it had a lattice with 80 cm spacing and it’s connected to the spirit iron on the floor that hadn’t been consumed yet.

I take the insanely durable glass that Van helped me make from 【Storage】 and fit it inside the frame.

「Please help me again. 」
The lattice suddenly softened and the edges of the glass sunk into the iron. Like ivy crawling slowly, the spirit iron created a pattern on the four corners and the part of the center of the glass.

Yeah, it’s fantasy alright. I bet a lot of people would cry if I told them this window that’s been gouged out of the stone wall is durable enough. Well, we’re in fantasy, so it can’t be helped, right!

The pattern continued on for the entirety of the lattice and it used up all of the spirit iron on the floor without a single speck remaining. The result — a gorgeous fixed window with black iron frame. Hm? Fixed?

「I’m sorry, there’s some adjustment needed… 」
I requested the spirit iron to change its form so that I can open and shut the window.

The room with the sofa has a door and a huge window overlooking the ocean, while the floor above it didn’t have any glass, just a frame. Add the beds, couches and finally the cushions.

Alright, let’s stay up all night tonight! I’m becoming more fired up as the rooms are getting closer to being fully furnished.

The lizard of the tower showed up in the middle of night and he praised me, and then I met Soleil who looked like she’s on the verge of kicking the bucket first thing in the morning.
