We finally arrived at Freetia, the land of the free. The travel time was about two hours. There was no time to spare on the road. Lily and the others bickered over my lap pillow, but in the end, all three of us ended up kneeling on it. My knee was badly damaged, but I couldn't complain about it, since I got to see their cute sleeping faces. You're doing a great job.

The town, first of all, is surrounded by a large wall. According to the people in the carriage, it's called monster prevention. A monster that needs this thick fence is...scary. I have a feeling that even giants will come attacking.

The whole town is the European style of modern times. The castle is similar to Neuschwanstein Castle, which was modeled after Cinderella Castle. This is a fantasy castle, isn't it?

Well, we can't stay here forever. First, let's go check out that shop Mr. Moch lent us!

We walked around the town, but it was very different from the first town because of the difference in the country. Of course the buildings are different, but more importantly, the people are different. In the game, they're NPCs, but in the first town there were only ordinary people, but in this town there are many sub-race people.

That's nice! A beautiful girl with animal ears! And an erotic looking sister with a vine wrapped around her body! Oh, I don't want a macho little old man. And then there's the guys with the weird ears. They're based on humans, but they look strange. After that, there are lizard people and so on. Some of them have wings. Don't they fly? You have wings.

But the key thing is, there's no elves or dragon-newts. The older sister in an erotic outfit with a vine wrapped around her body looks like an elf, but apparently she's not. It's rather rare, or maybe it's just that she's often talked to.

In spite of the difference of races, they treat me normally. It's a nice country. I'm glad we chose to come here.

According to the story of the Setia, the Serian Beast is a beast race with beast ears and tails.
The erotic looking older sister with the vines wrapped around her body is a tree fairy species dryad.
The macho little old man is an earth fairy race dwarf.
Smaller humans who are even smaller than non-macho dwarves are small race half-workers.
The lizard man is a lizard race lizardman.
The one with wings is called Hawkman, a bird race.

Each race seems to have a similar personality to some extent. For example, cerian beasts are unsympathetic. Dryads are strong-willed. Dwarves are stubborn. Half-worshippers are stubborn. Lizardmen are arrogant. Hawkman is like a killah. But that's just my overall impression of them, so I'm sure they have different personalities.

And there's one problem. The arrogant Lizardman was arrogant at first, but the moment he saw Ion, his attitude changed.

''Ha, haha~!　Doh, I don't know about you, Mr. Dragoneut, but I will pay with my life for my disrespect...

No, no, please!　In the middle of a town like this!

I managed the moment, but the dryad sisters also changed their attitudes the moment they saw Setia and became gentle sisters. They said women are scary.

According to Aeon, Lizardmen are the same as Aeon, the Water Dragon's Military, and they are a bottom-tier existence called a low-class species. I'm told that the Dryads are the same beings. Aeon and the rest of the Dragoneutes and Elves are the middle class. By the way, if you ask them about advanced species, dragons and high elves are the most common. In that sense, this town is mainly made up of lower class species.

From their appearance, it doesn't seem to be because they lost the war or anything like that, but there must be a reason.

Well, we arrived at our destination. It was a good thing that we had arrived. Nope. I heard that the shop went bankrupt, right? But this is a terrible...

"Boro.
Are you going to live here?
Can we live there?

It's all about what Lily and her friends think. To add to that, the location is bad. Behind the back of Main Street. Mr. Moch's shop was also in the back, but is this a good idea for a father and son together?

Let's just go inside and have a look.

I open the key that Mr. Moch left me.

"Lily's first!

Lily opens the door and gets caught in a spider's web as she walks into the store.

'Kyah!　Spiders' webs!　Aeon, Setia. Get it~

What are you doing?

I can't help it.

As they entered the store and approached Lily, a spider landed in front of her.

'Spider~?'

Lily is startled, and as she jumps, the floor comes loose and the three of them fall. This is more ragged than I expected.

"...Lily.

'What?　It's not Lily's fault!

Who else is out there?

Lily claims it was the spider's fault, but it was Lily who jumped. At any rate, he lifts the three of them up and rescues them. For some reason, they are pleased. Hephaistos also tried to rescue Setia, but it was dismissed by him. It was a pity, indeed.

I looked around the shop and saw that it was apparently a bar shop? There's a shelf on the bar counter to display alcohol. It doesn't feel right for an underage person to use it.

And I tried to go up to the second floor, but gave up. Because it makes a creaking sound. It would be very traumatic if it fell down. We searched further and found a door to the basement, where Hephaistos found a door that leads to the basement. There is no way to go down there, but it's likely to be a wine cellar, considering it's a bar. Considering that both the floor and the walls are made of bricks, it could be used as a forge for Hephaistos. I'll let Hephaistos decide if it can actually be used.

I've had a quick look at it and wonder what I'll do with it. No, I've got an answer for you. Ion asks.

'What are you going to do?　Mr. Takut.

I guess we'll just have to remodel.

""Remodeling?"

Yeah, you don't know what remodeling is.

"Fix up the shop. "Fortunately, the walls and pillars of this place are solid stone. It's made out of wood, so if you can get the floors and the stairs working, you can live here.

'I certainly do. So that's what you're asking for?

Yeah, we'll see the town while we're at it.

He asked He-Pistos to stay behind and we began to explore the town in search of a carpenter. There's some people doing business in regular shops, and some people opening up shop in the open air. Now, I was looking for something to bargain with, and Lily found something.

'Tact!　That store smells so good!

Lilly pointed to a place that serves spit-roasted food. 'Hey.

I'm interested in that one.

Aeon salted fish. You too!

I'd like to check out that one.

Veggie soup. Yeah, I knew it. That's the way it goes. But I can't say no, so I buy a meal for three people. The three of us eat right away, but something is wrong.

What's wrong?

'Tact's cooking is better...'

Sha! We beat the open-air store! As I was bellowing my victory cry, I spotted something in my vision that caught my attention. It was a shop with a dwarf that was bigger than your average dwarf.

'Welcome. Whoa!　This guy is a rare elf and a dragoneut!

I'm tired of hearing that reaction.

Ha, you got a lot of shit to say about that in town. So what can I do for you?

Hmm. This one's not as stubborn as he seems. I feel like I've found a winner.

"Yes. I'm curious about this container. May I have a look?

Oh. Oh, you have good eye. Hey, bro. Good. Take a good look at it.

I'll take the container. There's no doubt about it. The container is made of glass. I've never seen anything like it in the world.

What's happening with the glass?

My friend made that one. He said he didn't want it, so I got it for him.

You don't want this glass container? What a waste.

'What do we do?　I'll give you a discount.　I've got two, so how about 2000 g's for the set?

I'm buying!

I responded immediately. Yes! Now we can try that thing I've been thinking about for a while!

Um...tact-san. Are you sure?　It's beautiful, sure, but...

It's a container or a box, isn't it?

Aeon and Setia ask me. 'As they said, this one has a lid on it, and it's nice to be able to seal it.

'No problem. I mean, I've been looking for something like this.'

I also heard that the glass is made of silica stone and lime, which can be found in the caves and mountains of the forest. Good story for Hephaistos. And silica and lime, rock on!
