Capítulo 36: Chapter 36: Setting up the House

"So Master can really use Movement skill even if shielding cement is used" Roxanne says in wonder while looking around the Entrance Hall.

"Yep I checked it once during the house tour" I replied with a smile.

"That's so wonderful" Roxanne says in admiration.

Roxanne went towards the Kitchen to place the Wok. I go towards the bath taking the Explorer's Bottle with me.

Inside the room I turn the bottle's knob halfway on the heating side and keep the open bottle by the edge of the pit so that the hot water can fall into it. Seeing the rate at which the water was flowing from the bottle down inside the pit, I figured it would take hours to fill this bath.

But at least I won't have to use magic to fill the bath up. In the og story Michio had to use multiple waterwall spells to fill his wooden bathtub, then he had to use fireballs to heat that water up and during all of that he had to make multiple trips to the dungeon to refill his MP.

The Rich Nobles would have multiple slaves get water from the well then boil that water bucket by bucket and then fill this bath slowly. The bath here must have been built with the backyard water well in mind.

And for me, I just have to keep my Explorer's bottle which has endless water here and get a Hot bath after some hours. Seeing that there was no problem with the setup I went to the Kitchen where Roxanne was checking stuff out.

"This is our house now Roxanne, just the two of us here"

While speaking I come in front of her and take her beautiful face in my hands. With my thumb I trace her soft lips.

"Yes, M-master" I can feel her breath on my thumb. Looking into her auburn eyes I could see her genuine affection for me, I closed the distance between our lips and slowly kissed her.

Before long my tongue started a battle with her tongue deep in her mouth. Knowing that if this continued I would get carried away, I stopped the kiss and could see her panting red face. Chuckling, I release her face and take her hand in mine.

"For now let's use the smaller dining room, the kitchen and the main bedroom"

I plan to use only these parts of the Mansion for now.

"Okay, Master" Roxanne replies with a nod.

"It's noon already so let's go to the downtown area and buy the things which we immediately need. If we want to sleep here than the most urgent thing is a bed" as I speak about buying a bed I can't hide the smirk on my face

"Yes, Master" Roxanne sees the smirk but still replies with a smile.

"Let's celebrate our first day at this house with Dinner. For that we would need to buy some ingredients too. Can you cook Roxanne? I would love to taste a dish made by your hands" I ask her as we go towards the main Entrance Hall.

"Yes Master, leave cooking to me!" Roxanne replies while pumping her fists.

"Okay we will leave right now then" saying that I use Warp.

We teleport to the Explorer's Guild in Quratar. First we went to a furniture store which I had seen before, turns out they just sell second hand goods in this city.

Still we bought the minimum furniture such as Bed, table, chairs, cupboard and a closet. I also bought a partition screen which can be used by Adventurers to use Field Walk just to keep up appearances.

For the Bed, the biggest bed they had was one which was just slightly bigger than a double bed. Even if the furniture is second hand goods, the bed's mattress seems to have been replaced with a brand new one, so there was no problem with that.

People at the furniture store told us that they would bring the goods to our house in a cart. Due to the bulk purchase 35% off was applied and everything came out to be just 2 silver. They promised us that they would be able to bring everything before evening to our house.

This is enough furniture for our immediate needs. For carpets, some high quality beds and other new furniture we will have to go to the Imperial Capital.

Then we went to a general store. There we bought brooms, towels, water jugs, buckets, lanterns, cookware, candles, cleaning implements, daily necessities and other essential goods. I also bought an additional deep pan and a ton of Koichi fruit. Another bulk purchase and everything was solved in 50 copper coins. We carried the stuff awkwardly to a nearby alley and stuffed all of it into the backpack.

From a different general store which sold wooden products we bought 2 large wooden tubs to wash clothes. The worker had a Villager job so the discount didn't apply and the total came out to be 50 copper coins. Instead of stuffing the tubs into the backpack I took them to the nearby Adventurer Guild, used Warp and dropped them off in the Entrance Hall for now.

I came back and found Roxanne waiting for me in the Adventurer Guild.

"Do you know about Shell Powder?" I asked Roxanne.

"Yes, they are dropped by clam shells and it's an extinguisher. It doesn't have any power to cancel out fire magic but you can extinguish the fire and stop it from spreading with an extinguisher" Roxanne replied to my abrupt question

This Shell Powder is basically Baking soda so it can be used as a cleaning agent just like vinegar which can also be used for the same purpose, but the people of this world haven't found these uses yet.

"I want to buy Shell Powder for an experiment" I tell Roxanne and go with her to the counter.

I bought Shell Powder worth 1 silver. Shell Powder is Powder condensed in a ball form.

After that we went to buy vegetables for tonight's dinner.

"Let's buy meat too" I said to Roxanne who was buying things which looked like potatoes.

"Uhm … Is it okay to buy meat for dinner?" Roxanne asks me hesitantly.

"Yes, I like to eat tasty dishes daily so we can eat meat everyday" I reassure her

'And as things don't go bad inside the backpack we can buy much more stuff too' I tell her mentally about the wonders of Explorer's Backpack.

'That is amazing Master' Roxanne looked at me wide eyed.

We then bought raw meat, salted meat, smoked meat, eggs, fish, herbs, salt, pepper, cooking oils and various vegetables. We even bought Milk, which supposedly you can buy in Jars. I especially told Roxanne to buy 20 or so lemons. Lemons weirdly were still called lemons here. It was mainly Roxanne buying stuff while I was standing on the side learning new things and paying for them.

There were not many choices of spices here. Spices, herbs and all are still expensive. People can cultivate a small garden by themselves or could buy from shops in the Imperial Capital.

As these were not merchants and just villagers the discount didn't apply and I ended up using 500 copper coins.

It was almost evening right now, it was because of Roxanne being very thorough with every purchase. But I am not complaining as her serious face looked absolutely adorable.

We then warped to Vale and went to our hotel. We went up to our room after taking our key from downstairs. Inside the hotel room we kept Roxanne's case as well all the extra things inside the backpack. After that I took a last look at the room, especially the bed, after all it was the place where I lost my Virginity.

"This is the place where I received Master's affection" Roxanne too was looking at the bed, probably feeling same,"In the future too I hope, I receive more and more of Master's affection"

Ughh I want to show her some 'affection' right here right now, but I controlled myself and just hugged her soft body from the side.

I gave the key back to the man at reception, told him that we have already vacated our rooms and said our goodbyes.

We could have stayed for an extra dinner meal and a breakfast but I thought it best to eat in our new home.

We went back to our home and it was already evening. The outer gate was kept open for now so the cart was standing in front of the main building already with all the furniture.

I told them to keep all the furniture in the Entrance hall and saw them off.

Then me and Roxanne moved all the furniture around with the help of Warp.

We placed the dining table with six chairs in the smaller dining room. The cupboard was placed in the Kitchen and filled with kitchen ware. The closet and the bed were placed in the Main bedroom.

I had to add all my BP points to Strength and MP to move both the heavy closet and Bed to the second floor. Roxanne looked at me in amazement when I alone picked up the Bed.

We both sat on the bed in exhaustion.

"It's still too empty but it's at least a start" I speak to Roxanne who was sitting quite close to me that too on her own.

"Good work Master" Roxanne praises me with a smile.

"Well there is still some work left. It's gonna get dark soon, can you place lanterns and add candles to the candle holders in the Main Bedroom, Dining room and Kitchen" I ask Roxanne while getting up

"Okay, Master" Roxanne replies obediently.

I took out all the extra stuff I bought today. It's time to make Soap and get a new Class.
