I log out and have dinner and a bath to calm myself down before I log in.

I'm not used to the view of my new home. Then I received a text from Lewin. He says he's in Lieprich, so I head over to discuss the future.

The players who had gathered there wanted to talk about rewards and cooperation, but I went inside the shop and met up with Ruin-san.

Then I decide that my new home is a better place to have a discussion and invite Lwin and the others.

''Dekko!''

Well, that's the first thing you think. Then Kiki leads me to the living room and tells me everything that happened today.

'Well, you saved the country, so you deserve this much...'

Wouldn't that be less money?

'It's like Freetia didn't have any money to begin with, and it's about as expensive as it gets considering all the reward money for all the players who participated in the event and the money we'll be spending on the recovery from now on.

"I see.

Then we will discuss the future.

'I agree with you about working with the Duke first. It's a trend we need to follow.

'Yes, sir. Then I'll send you a reply.

That should make the annoying aristocrats disappear! Then we talk about business.

Then I get to learn about Ruin and the other players' moves. He says that the number of people setting up shops and owning homes is going to skyrocket with this reward, after all. We're all thinking the same thing.

I've decided to build a new Leapfrog in the opposite direction to the one I have now. I decided to build the new Lieprich in the opposite direction from the one I'm at now because it's closer to my house and because I don't want to compete with Moch's shop.

In order for them to avoid competition, it was decided to build it in a different direction.

Then I received a proposal from Lwin-san.

'Tact-kun... could we use the home here too?'

'What?　Didn't you get a home?

I could have. But when I saw this place, I knew I had to sell it.

Hmm? What do you mean? I ask Ruin to explain it to me.

'First of all, it's a tact home, probably a home for players to build a guild. The number of rooms and the number of living rooms is proof of that.

Oh, I thought 30 clans combined makes a guild, 30 clans in a party of 6 is 180, so that makes sense for the number of rooms.

''Didn't we talk about cooperation earlier?　There's already a stream of people trying to build guilds with large amounts of money and home getaways.

Oh, I see. So that's what it's all about...

'So I'm sure we'll be making a guild out of it in the not too distant future. And this is where we'll be based. It will be more profitable if we sell the home and each of us has our own shop. Of course the decision is yours, Tact.

Hmm. It's a problem to leave a lot of room for nothing. If that's going to happen anyway, I'll help Ruin and the others with their business... or I'll have the benefit of it.

''I understand. Then take any room you have left over.

Mr. Lewin and his friends will be happy. It's only natural since you'll be able to have the splendid shop you've always wanted.

''The rest of the time, let's decide who to collaborate with... well, we'll generally stick with people we know.

For now, the ones who worked together were Mel and the others, Full Moon and the others, Yoichi, Tristan, Luke, Tyrol, Al, Raiden, Rikyuu, Chiffon, and Miranda.

They all had the same impression of my home. And they have no objection if they can live here and sell the home and get a lot of money.

I also talked to other people like Hikage and the others, and Takuma and the others who fought with Sandozant, but they all put me on hold.

There are various reasons for this, such as people who want to set up their own guild and people who are concerned about the level difference. Well, the level gap will soon shrink, or rather be overtaken. After all, it's only two weeks.

The rewards this time were all different. First of all, it seems that everyone except the summoner got a horse. But it seems to be a different horse than the summoner's horse. Still, they're all the horses we've been hoping for. Tristan was especially bad. I'll keep quiet about it in her honor.

Then again, the titles they got are all different, and apparently there are a lot of quests going on with them. Mel and Chiffon are excited that Princess Sara's quest seems to be occurring and that they might be able to use a special move like Princess Sara's.

Even though I said they would work together, I kept the basics the same as before. It's just a matter of teaming up with Legion if there's time, or cooperating if there's an event.

Then Luke asks me.

'What are you going to do for the next two weeks, Tact-san?'

I won't be able to fight, so I'll just focus on production and the shop.

'It can't be helped... well, leave the strategy to us!

Mel and the others are happy to see you... and then a visitor arrived. Princess Sara. How can I help you?

'I'm sorry it's so late at night. As a matter of fact, the girl I was protecting is awake and wanted to protect Master Tact as well as Mr. Regin, so I brought her to you.

Then a girl with short black hair appears from behind Regin-san.

''It's Heliya...''

Excuse me. Mr. Takht. Hellya isn't a very talkative girl.

Yeah, I see. Nice to meet you, I'm Summoner Tact. Lots of summonses and people, are you okay?

I'm fine...

That was good, then. Heliya will be in my custody and will be working with Regin, Lily and the others at the new shop.

I kept my distance and asked Princess Sarah what was on my mind.

'What's going on with the demon you captured?'

Closely watched and interrogated. They say the devil's name is Ose. They won't tell us anything else.

It's a male demon by name, isn't it?

'Yes, but...I see. It certainly seems to be more effective than our interrogation.

Yeah. If you're a man, you're in range of Livina. But as it stands now, she's too weak to do anything about it. If we let her go, we'll be blind. I guess we'll just have to trust in Freetia's knights now.

''I understand. Then in two weeks, I'll make a request for you.''

Nice to meet you.

When Princess Sarah returned to the castle, she asked Yug to make the bed and other interiors, as well as the sleeping quarters and stables for Gray and the other summoned beasts. He got the money and put on a hokey face.

By the way, the money is divided among the people who spend each of them.

The rest is a treat for Lily and the others. I buy clothes and accessories for all of us.

I thought I should buy the ones that Lily and the others like, but I have to choose them myself. d*mn...so I did my best to choose.

Lily, Aeon, and Noah are in one piece, so I decided to wear a yellow, light blue, and black short skirt and t-shirt, respectively. I also had a hat for them, so I bought them a hat.

I look like a child who is starting to become more conscious of fashion, but it looked good on me.

Koibari and Japanese fox were dressed in kimonos. Koibito is a pink flower patterned kimono. Japanese fox is a white flower patterned kimono. It was pricey, but it looks good on you, so you have no regrets.

Ix and Bran are wearing a long dress. Iksu's dress is black and Bran's is white, making her look more ladylike.

Livina and Leanne are accessories. Livina has a bat hairpiece and Leanne has a beaded hairpiece.

They are thanked and complimented by everyone. It was worth the hard work of choosing them.

I gave Lily and the others one last brushing and logged out for the day.
