You've finally done it.

"Yes, you're done!

　Lasse looks at it with deep emotion, and Lamia snuggles up to him and affirms it.

'The house we live in is ......'

　It was a large mansion.
　The shack we had built earlier had been blown away by the storm, so we had to build a new one.

It got a lot bigger because of what we asked for, but it's done anyway!

　Lasse is moved to tears.

"At last, at last!　Finally, goodbye to the house without walls!

A house without walls is a novelty, isn't it?

　Letty murmurs while looking at the former home of the Lys.
　I can see why she would think that.
　But this is a town where the storms come thick and fast during the rainy season.
　So it was obvious that the house that could be built on Lasse's budget at the time would be blown away by the storm.
　So a carpenter's master carpenter's master carpenter devised a house with only a roof and no collapsing walls to keep it from falling in the event of a storm.
　And instead of walls, large demons were placed at the four corners, and privacy was protected by cloth hanging from the sky.

Now, at last, I won't have to deal with curious eyes from strangers looking at my office!　This mansion will be my home and office from today!

　The front of Lasse's new mansion was hung with a sign that read "Monster's Delivery" in large letters.
　It was a store for all to see.

"And we have a waiting room for the dragon carriage, so there will be less confusion.

　Lamia was right, next to the house of Lasse there was a large sign that said Dragon Carriage and a simple but solidly built hut.

I built a hut for our guests to sit and wait in, just like you asked for.

　The master carpenter comes over with a tool bag in hand.

Good job! Thanks to your hard work, customers for the dragon carriage will not hesitate to come here!

　Until now, the dragon carriage was marked by the appearance of the dragon, so there was no clear waiting area.
　However, the mayor personally requested that a waiting room be built for the dragon to be confusing while it was flying.

Well, the mayor paid for this one. The mayor will pay for it.

　The mayor was right about the waiting area, and it was his own decision to have it built at his discretion, so he gathered money from his supporters and had it built in advance.
　This was done for the benefit of the dragon carriage's first station from the town.
　Dragon carriages are living creatures and there will be times when the dragons won't fly.
　The same is true if the dragon is already flying.
　In that case, travelers and merchants seeking a ride in the dragon carriage will need to stay at an inn. And then there's the food.
　More importantly, you can sell supplies and goods purchased from traveling merchants.

　The city of Dexter, the Dragon Carriage's starting station, was a key transportation hub for the neighborhood and was noticed by merchants very early on.
　Therefore, those who wanted to profit from the dragon carriage's offerings hoped to increase their sales by providing travelers with a more comfortable environment.
　Construction of the town's inns and restaurant branches are already underway near Rise's office.
　It's only a foundation at the moment, but with all the carpenters working, it won't be long before it's finished.
　Among the carpenters were Lasse's followers, the minotaurs.

Thanks to the dragon carriage we've gotten a ton of requests for our services. That's a good scream.

　The master laughs happily.

So there's no hurry to make the house payment. I'll even build you an extension if you want.

Haha, I'll think about building an extension when I'm done paying for it.

"Oh yeah, right!　So if you have any problems, tell me right away!　Bye!

　That's all he said, and he walked to the inn, which was still under construction.

It was really nice of you to pay for the building at one point.

Yes, we've built quite a bit more than we had planned for, after all.

　Initially, Rise's mansion was just an ordinary house, and it was planned to be inhabited only by Rise and the demons who wanted to live in some of the buildings.
　There was a window for an office, a waiting room, a guest room, demons who demanded to be able to live in the house as well, and even stables for unicorns and other demons to ride in, and for some reason, even Letty's private room was added in addition to that.

"I'm also Lasse's bodyguard. Basically, I'm supposed to sleep here.

　However, the fact that you have to pay for the extra room makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Well, my dear sir, if you're lucky, you might find yourself in the middle of changing.

　Gently overheard by Ketsey, Lasse decided to stop dwelling on trivial things. I never had a dirty mind.

　That's why the completed Lasse's mansion is a surprisingly oddly shaped mansion.
　There is a signboard at the entrance that doesn't know what kind of store it is, a small signboard for the Knights' sub-office in the corner, the perches and entrance for the harpies and other flying demons on the roof, stables and cat entrances at the back, and long eaves for the demons living on the ground, a structure whose purpose is completely unknown to people who don't know its purpose.

"But I'm glad to hear that you even have a room dedicated to Lamia!

　Lamia smiles happily.
　The lower half of the Lamia tribe takes the form of a giant snake. They were originally a tribe that lived in caves. They were very cramped in human buildings.
　However, with this new house construction, Lasse's care allowed the demons' requests to be reflected 100%.
　A long, narrow room where Lamia can stretch out and not be bumped, and a long bed and futon to match the room. She had a room where she could live comfortably as a hyperthermic animal, with windows that let in the morning sun and a room made by Lamia's Lamia for Lamia.

"My stables look good, too. I'd love a bed of hay!　Now if only there was a damsel in distress!

　Unicorns were unicorns in every direction.
　They were also relatively cheap.

　The demons entered their assigned rooms and made their own arrangements for the room.
　Kobold, who is also an ore-spirit, covers the room with ores he bought with his allowance, and Ketsey, the cat demon, makes a bed with a wooden box and a towel in the corner of the room.

I'll leave my stuff in my room then.



　Lasse, who had been watching the demons, also went to his room.

"I'll get my stuff from the inn, too.

　Letty was returning to town to carry her stuff.

　The dryad watched the scene as the plant monster watched.

"We're plant demons, so we don't have the advantage of living in a house.

"Do you miss me?

　Trent speaks to the dryad, who is keeping his distance.

Not so. To us, the dirt is like home. We've never been inconvenienced. I just think they're lucky to be able to come into human life like that.

"Lord, you're so kind.

Yes, that's right. I've never heard of a demonslayer giving a private room at his disposal for the demons he obeys.

　It was a voice of realization.
　A plant monster, a dryad, can share the knowledge and experience of its genus.
　Where and who experienced and saw what sights.
　Among that knowledge were the demons used by the demon users.
　Many were used as tools, some were treated with affection, but most were treated like beasts, demons.
　It's very rare for a demonslayer to be treated like a human like Lasse.

Still, I've never seen anyone go this far.

　A dryad smiles at the distorted addition to the mansion.

"Those who come later will be surprised...

Yes. They should be arriving in town by now.

　Trent's conversation with the dryads hinted at a new disturbance being brought to this town.
