Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life - CH 130

Since the initial greeting to welcome Liddy was done, we decided to take the day off from work and have a welcome party. But before that, as everyone is dirty in our own way, we decided to clean off the dirt on us first.

I felt nostalgic boiling water in this magical furnace. After distributing the boiled water to everyone, we went to our respective rooms to wipe ourselves down and remove the dirt on us. The guest room will be Liddy’s room for the time being. And as expected, being the only male in the house, I was the first one to finish wiping myself off.

I better start preparing dinner then. There is a 10-day blank, but on the contrary, my body remembers the actions well enough because it’s only that long. However, it’s one thing to feel your body move half on its own, and another thing to feel nostalgic.

As for the women, Rike and Liddy were the first to come to the living room. Well, blacksmithing is also work where you’ll get dirty and sweaty.

“It is better for Boss to take a rest.”

Rike told me that.

“It’s been a while since I’ve done this so let me do it.”

I refused. I’m not tired with anything else as we just travelled back today while Rike was working properly. Thus I hope that she could take a rest.

“How about studying magic with Liddy? From now on, she can teach you as much as you want.”

Liddy nods when she hears that. I thought she liked teaching people and apparently, my impression wasn’t wrong. It seems that Rike couldn’t resist the temptation, so side by side at the table in the living room, Liddy and Rike started to watch the flow of magical power. Seeing that, I go back to preparing dinner again. I hope this kind of scene will become a new and usual one.

When I finished preparing the soup and as I started preparing to make unfermented bread, I glanced at the living room. Samia and Diana are now also in the living room and they joined the study session of Rike and Liddy. From what I could see, Rike was the most receptive, followed by Diana and then Samia. I feel that this may be due to the difference in magical power of their races.

Supper was then completed so we all lined up on the table. It’s not as sumptuous as the meal at Eimurl House that I ate last night (although it seems to be rather simple because this is the family style). This is the menu and taste of Eizou Workshop, which Liddy has also eaten before. It’s a welcome party, so there’s also something like a brandy made from pickled fruits.

The welcome party eventually doubled as my expedition story session. This is because three people wanted to hear about it. I don’t have to hide the details of the battle inside the cave to these three so I honestly told them what I had defeated. The reason why Liddy came to our house was also explained in the flow of the expedition report.

“We are here too. You can talk to us about anything.”

When Diana heard that, with tearful look, she immediately said that to Liddy. Other than Liddy, Samia was also in a delicate situation but everyone came here on their own initiative. Liddy was the only one who had to come here without a choice.

“Eizou is the only man here so let’s take it easy.”

“Yeah, I think Samia should learn to be a little more graceful.”

Samia and Rike also encouraged Liddy. Rike makes fun of the sullen Samia, Diana calms her and Liddy looking at them is now smiling. Life from now on will probably go well. I had no proof, but I was convinced so.

The next day,

I was able to sleep in my bed for the first time in a while so I went out to fetch water while feeling refreshed. The morning air in the forest feels good. When I returned from the lake with water, Liddy put her hand on the tree and was taking in some magical power.

“Good morning Liddy”

“Good morning.”

At the welcome party yesterday, I told Liddy that we didn’t need to use honorifics, but she said, “This is my natural tone”, so that being the case, it went like that.

“I know it’s just yesterday, but if you have any concerns about living here, please tell me immediately.”

“Everyone is kind and I’m not worried when I think about when I came here before.”

“I see. That’s good then.”

So we go back to each other’s work. With such a sense of distance from Liddy, I think we need to connect more with her. After finishing the morning preparations and meals, I will resume with blacksmithing work from today.

“But, before that”

I took out the statue of the goddess I made during the expedition from my luggage and put it on the Kamidana. It is another housemate (god housemate?) who joined us this time. When enshrined in such a place, the atmosphere looks different.

“When did you make this?”

Samia asked in an amazed tone.

“On the way to the expedition. Well, I had time to do it.”

“You can make something like this too, Boss?”

“There’s a certain charm on it huh.”

“Somehow I feel a magical power on it.”

Although the women commented on it, it was not a bad evaluation, so we all worshiped as it is.

Alright! Let’s do our best again today.
