And now it’s the next day .
I was a little refreshed after sleeping for a long time . After all, releasing accumulated stress with hobbies was the best, right?
Eh? What’s my hobby?
I enjoy making things as I like, eating delicious food, sleeping a lot, and doing my daily routine . This time I slept a lot .
Well, it would be nice if I could do my daily routine . It’s been a long while too . But you know? I can’t get excited when I was irritated, plus I want to concentrate without thinking about unnecessary things… don’t make me say it . It’s embarrassing .
Leaving aside the details, Triela’s team will come today . So I can’t be too leisurely either .
Let’s prepare food to kill time today . I’m tired of forging swords .
Hm? Yesterday’s ‘that’? Ah, the dragon’s alula… I tried to [Appraise] it a little while ago, but the level was too crazy that I didn’t even know what to do with it . I would only waste it with my current skill . So for the time being, I pass .
I mean, that’s the alula of an Elder Dragon . ‘Elder’, you know?
Dragon would get stronger as they got older, right? Elder was the highest peak in growth .
From the bottom, the order was: dragonette, lesser, major, greater, and elder . Do you know how many hundred years it takes to be an elder? I couldn’t even count it anymore .
Yeah . To tell you the truth, I’m not confident in handling this outrageous material . At the very least, I had a feeling that I shouldn’t treat it as something similar to the low-ranked sub-dragon species .
That’s why I stored it in my [Storage] for a while .
I need to practice how to use Adamantite for three days to finally master it; you know . It’s impossible for me to make something with no preparation! Please give me some time to study it! Seriously!
Anyway, while I was cooking food and sweets, the noon passed . Then Triela’s team came over .
By the way, the members who came were Triela, Arle, and Ryuu . Next time, a different team of three people would come .
The combination was one boy and two girls . However, Cain and Boman weren’t included . The reason? I didn’t want to let them enter my house . You understand, right?
“Didn’t you say you’re going to camp in the depths of the forest?”
“Yes . I’m sleeping in the forest, so it’s camping, right?”
“…”
“Just forget about it… We’re talking about Ren here…”
Huh? Why? By the way, Triela’s team got lost in the middle of the forest, so I asked Norn to pick them up .

Then, I received the information Triela and the others collected in the town . They were looking at me with a distant look .
The subjugation team’s main unit and Knights’ Order had already left the town and moved to the base in the frontline . Only a few reserve adventurers and Knights’ Order stayed in the town right now .
Scouts regularly brought information back from the frontline to the town, and part of them would be publicized . The reason was that the townspeople could judge whether they should evacuate .
Besides Triela’s team, some orphans that used to live in the orphanage also returned to see the situation . They were also planning to support the orphans if they had to evacuate in an emergency .
Hmm . Seems like we all had the same intention .
The people who came back to the orphanage were all adventurers . They brought a lot of food, just like Triela’s team . How could I say this… Listening to this made my eyes somewhat teary .
Among the members who came back, there was Bob who bullied Cain before . Cain had a hilarious look… serves him right .
And they only told me about my survival to the orphanage’s director . They couldn’t be sure that any of the staff had connections with that merchant, and they couldn’t deny the possibility that the little kids might unconsciously leak it out .
Everyone who gathered at the orphanage was sleeping in the vacant room of the institution, which didn’t charge a lodging fee . However, everyone forcefully handed the director some money to some extent . Listening to that, I couldn’t help but smile . Everyone really thought of the same thing, eh .
And then, all of those people went to the nearby hunting grounds during the day to collect herbs and edible wild plants that could be harvested in the winter, and hunt goblins to earn money so they could give it to the director… Everyone was a nice kid .
“I will also prepare various things later, so please take it back . ”
“Sure, but are you sure about this?”

“Yes . ”
But it would be bad if I gave them too many things without controlling myself . Let’s do it moderately .
Presently, there were over forty orphans in the orphanage and more than twenty children had returned, so the institution wouldn’t have enough funds to feed everyone . They got by with the foodstuffs everyone brought with them and the edibles they collected on the first day, but they might have to think about some plan if they were going to stay for a long time in this town… There were also possibilities that they would come this far to collect herbs and find out about my house, so I might have to move further into the forest sometimes .
As I listened to their stories, I noticed the sun had set . It should be dangerous for them to go home now, so I told Triela and the others to stay overnight . To be honest, I had that intention since the beginning . This is an order, okay? You shouldn’t refuse .
The town of O’Neill was far from this forest, and my house location was deep in this forest . It would take quite a while to reach this place . The proof was that Triela’s team arrived at my house in the afternoon, even after Norn picked them up .
And they would have to go through the pitch-black forest, walking for a considerably long time, even after leaving the demon repellent lantern barrier I set up .
Moving in a dark forest naturally increased the risk of being attacked by demons . I had no intention of letting them do such a dangerous thing . Therefore, I forced them to say .
By the way, no one objected . Which was not a surprise for me .

That’s why I was making dinner too . Even so, I wouldn’t cook seafood dishes now .
I made cream stew . On this cold day, this dish was perfect! Well, beef stew was also okay, though… I just wanted to eat this . Plus, I got plenty of milk in my [Storage] .
“What is this? What is this! What is this!?”
“This is so delicious…”
“Ren… No, there’s nothing I can say anymore…”
Those were Arle, Ryuu, and Triela’s reaction in order . Seems like they liked it, huh? That being said, I also think it’s delicious . The thigh meat of cockatrice was delicious! Ah, it would be nice to have gratin in a dish that used cream sauce, huh… Let’s make it in the future .

“I’m glad you like it . You can ask for more, you know?”
“Ahh, yes . Please… But how on earth do you find this dish… No, we’re talking about Ren after all…”
Just what kind of person am I in Triela’s mind? I don’t want to hear it, though .
The bread was a bread roll, baked using natural yeast to make it fluffy . The butter also tasted delicious .
“This bread alone is already something high-class, right…? How did you even make this…”
Arle muttered in the middle, her mouth never stopped chewing . Ryuu ate silently from the second bite . That being said, he properly tasted the flavor, even if he moved quickly .
And thirty minutes later, the three kids reached their limit . Yes, yes . Everyone, take a bath and go to bed early, okay?
I threw all of them into the bath in order . Me? I was the landlord, so I took the bath first .
The people waiting in line had a small chat over a cup of tea with me . However, our main topic was about the orphanage .
After chatting a lot, I found out that the orphanage still had enough food at the moment, but they couldn’t offer enough bedding with the number of people who had returned home . I guess I should have prioritized that more than food .
“Hmm… I want to give food to the orphanage, but… Everyone else is bringing food with them, and they are also collecting food for the orphanage… Right . I have many extra furs, so please bring some of them back tomorrow . ”
“Many extra furs…? But that’ll help a lot . Thanks . ”
“You’re welcome?”
To be honest, I had a lot of extra lesser wolf’s fur . Many stupid monsters didn’t understand the gap between us, even if I was with Norn . I only attacked the ones who started a fight with me, but they kept increasing… I also had too many goblin corpses .
I couldn’t eat both of them even if I boiled or baked it, so their corpses accumulated in my [Storage] . It’s troublesome to burn them and bury them every time… It would be nice if I could use it for something… is there any good way to use it? Should I use them as fertilizer?
Ah, I should also make some hot water bottles . I already gave Triela’s group’s share, but I would like to prepare some for the little kids in the orphanage and the director… But if Triela brought too many, everyone would suspect where she got it . Hmm, this is hard…
After everyone finished taking a bath, I guided them to the guest rooms . The number of guest rooms on the first floor was exactly three since I extended it the other day, so each of them could have a room . But this seemed to be the first time the three of them stayed in a private room . They looked very restless .
I told them they could use the toilet freely, and if they were hungry in the middle of the night, they could eat as much as they like . I prepared a basket full of bread on the table of the living room .
After that, I told them they couldn’t enter the second floor since it was my private space . But then, all the rooms on the second floor except the toilet were locked .
The next day, everyone except me woke up before noon .

Apparently, they were so nervous about their first luxurious single room that they couldn’t fall asleep . But when they finally got sleepy, the bed was so comfortable that they didn’t wake until this time . Well… you guys had a nice sleep, right? Then it’s fine, isn’t it?
As for me, I woke up early as usual, ate breakfast, and made additional barrier lanterns to repel demons, killing time . By the way, I didn’t do my daily routine last night . Even though the soundproofing was perfect, I couldn’t mentally get into it, knowing that Triela and the others were staying in the same house as me1 .

After finishing my early lunch and Triela’s team’s late breakfast, I gave them various souvenirs . Just in case, I asked Norn to send them back until the end of the forest .
They will come again tomorrow, right? Hmm . Maybe I should ask them to come every three days instead of two… But I received the update of the information faster this way . How troubling .
After Triela’s team returned, I made weapons . But I didn’t use my smithy . The reason was it would be bad if anyone identified the location of my house because of the smoke . Then what did I do? That’s easy, I made it using [Creation Magic] . It’s not impossible as long as I paid the cost of the forging with my MP .
It was a heavy burden on my MP, but it was much easier than before thanks to my high skill levels . Other than that, I could create it normally with no particular problem .
By the way, I made a large throwing dagger this time . The bestowal were [Non-attribute], [Fire Attribute], [Attack Enhancement], [Endurance Enhancement], and one [Weapon Skill] .
The [Weapon Skill] this time was ‘Final Strike’ .
It was a self-destruction skill that compressed and released the hidden magic power all at once and crushed the weapon that served as a container to generate a powerful magic explosion . Once used, the dagger would naturally shatter . And because of its nature, the [Weapon Skill] power increased along with the number and the level of the bestowed skills .
The idea came from this: Since I couldn’t collect the weapon after throwing the magic sword, I should eliminate the need to collect it, right?
However, doing this with a large amount of all attribute magic swords stored in my [Storage] would be too powerful and dangerous, so I tried to reduce the firepower so it wouldn’t destroy the surroundings, and I ended up making this ‘Burst Dagger’ . Well, I would make some magic swords too . Just in case . But it would be better not to use this kind of thing . Even so, I couldn’t be too careful, right?
For the time being, after I made around ten of them, it was exactly evening . Let’s have dinner .
While eating my meal, I used [Detection] to scan the area near the outer edge of the forest . There, I could see some reactions, flickering from time to time .
They should be the escorts Vector arranged for me . In fact, they were trying hard to chase me in the snow while the carriage was smoking . Thank you for your hard work .
For the time being, I pretended that I didn’t notice them . Since they were originally hidden escorts, I couldn’t give them any refreshments too . To be honest, I felt a bit apologetic .
But that’s their job . They should put up with it and work hard . Please stay with me for a while, okay?
Now then, I finally could do my daily routine today after a long time . Having said that, three people from Triela’s team were going to come here, so I couldn’t take my time too much . Let’s do it moderately .
Would I be satisfied with doing it moderately? I did a lot of my other hobbies today, so it’s fine!
Then, I’m going to my room already! Good night!
