Chapter 124

CHAPTER 124: COMFORTABLE AS ALWAYS

I’ve slept very well ever since I returned from town .
Though it may have been nearby, sleeping in an unknown place can’t compare to the comforts of home .

Maybe it was because my place has a very calm atmosphere that the town lacks .
This being the case… . I slept till noon today as well .

「Ah, Good morning Master」

I opened my eyes to a smiling Sakura .
On the table were a number of warm dishes .

「Yeah, good morning Sakura . Also, good job on the preparations . 」
「Fufu, I’m an expert on all things Master…I can more or less predict when you are going to wake up . I’ll go get the toast for you . 」

Sakura said with a smile and went to the kitchen .
Though I’m glad I can get a nice meal right after waking up…I should wash my face first .

Recently I’ve been able to sleep plenty so my body is in excellent condition .
I’m able to lie down, get up, and eat whenever I need to .

「n? This bread is more delicious than usual . 」

Normally I find Sakura’s handmade cooking delicious enough…but today it was even more delicious .

「Is that so? I used the usual flour that the wolf people bring us… . maybe they brought us expensive flour?」

Is that so? Then I’ll need to thank them when I get the chance . Also, I should probably give them more money than usual .

「Thanks to the sales during the festival, the room has gotten quite full after all . 」
「That’s right, I never would’ve thought that after emptying the room of apples it would be immediately replaced by money… . . 」

That’s what happened when I brought the money from the store back home .


The end result was…the room that had been covered in a sea of apples was now filled with coins instead .
Actually, the coins took up less room…but they were far heavier .

……Those wolf people, dragons, and knights bought too much……

I’m grateful that I was able to sell everything I’d brought, but that room was still unusable for anything else .
That’s why I was thinking it might be good to give some to the wolf people to reduce the overflow .

「If I handle this poorly then I might end up with even more…or they might draw back… . 」
「Ah…ahaha . They certainly did when you tried to hand them a big sack of coins didn’t they Master?」

That was definitely true . In truth, I had tried to give away a large amount to them once before but…

『W-we cannot accept such a frightening amount . Please show mercy . 』

I was dumbfounded . I thought we’d become better acquainted since last time . I was sure they’d accept, but their attitude changed back to how they were in the beginning .
In the end they refused to take any more than usual .
I have to be careful .

「Well, I can think about the money situation later . Right now I want to get on with modifying my garden . 」

After the spirits began living in the dungeon, my garden has become strangely lively .
The trees grow quickly even without my interference, and there are greater numbers of fruits growing larger .

「It really is the influence of the spirits isn’t it?」
「Most likely . I sense that the amount of magic hasn’t changed, but the nature of it . 」
「Huh, I see . 」

Maybe my really good sleep and comfort waking up is also aided by the spirits’ power .

「Leaving that aside, those guys are really helpful . 」

Since then, I’d left the dungeon’s environmental control to the spirits and the monitoring of my onsen . Thanks to that, the atmosphere down there had become much better .

「I’m grateful that they’re doing that for me . They’re very good at managing things . 」
「That’s right . They are also being careful around this house (me) so as not to agitate the dragon vein, they are very capable as helpers . 」

It seems like they were able to mix in well here with Sakura .

I wouldn’t have thought that I would be able to obtain these guys from a trip to town……especially since they’ve offered me some more spirit stones . This has enabled many different experiments and I’m having fun with it .

… . . I wonder if they’ll bring me another one today?

They’ve been handing them over at a pace of one every few days…even so they have been building up a bit . I’ll have to talk more with Hesty about how they can be used .

「Haa…Thanks for the food . It was delicious Sakura . 」
「Yes, thank you very much……also I can sense a person outside that seems to be Dianeia, what shall we do?」
「Huh, Dianeia’s here?」

I looked out my window and indeed saw a human figure .
The festival had ended a few days ago so I thought she’d still be busy…I wonder what she needs?

「Well whatever . I’ll take a little walk to help with my digestion and go meet her . 」
「Ok, have a good day Master . 」

Sakura said and I set off to go outside like always .
