　For now, the house is still under construction, so I will bring Liddell back to the store for a meeting. I will stay at the inn, so for the time being I will let her use the attic room. ...... It would be emotionally difficult to take Liddell and send Lapidus and Noel back to the temple, so I may ask Ekaterina to take Liddell back while I'm in transition.

　Besides, even though we are sleeping together in the dungeon, I don't think it's a good idea to have Camilla alone with the girls.

　At any rate, while Liddell is being shown the clothes by the shopkeeper, I will send an e-mail to Ekaterina asking if she can spare some time. In this world, mail can be in the form of a whisper from a spirit, or delivered by a messenger, depending on the level of the hierarchy. When a message reaches us, it is recorded in the form of an e-mail.

The latter two tell him they are wolf-beastmen and make the request.

　Liddell chooses a set of blue, black and white, with gold for a touch of color. The black skirt is a little above the knee and has a lot of white ruffles.　--What do you call the folds you wear inside? --The hem is wide and spreads out, making it seem a little shorter than it actually is. And knee-high. The tie around the chest gives it a slightly more formal image, and it's quite cute.

　In addition, we also prepare pajamas and other necessary changes of clothes. Liddell is the one who chooses, but I seem to be the one who decides, and even though I only bring one kind, he always comes back to show it to me. When I give her permission, she hugs it to her chest and smiles happily.

　--She is cute, but not in her underwear. It's not good.

　I'm glad Liddell isn't the type to ask me if I like this or that. I'm not good at changing clothes in a clothing store. I enjoy browsing at home improvement stores and buy a lot of things in vain. I've got a good amount of stuff for Lapidus and Noel, so I'll put them in their rooms later. I can put the stuff for Peter in the common storage of the clan house.

　While I'm shopping, I hear back from Ekaterina and she says she can make time for me now, so I cut out and go to the temple. Well, I'll ask Camilla to accompany me for the rest.

No, that's okay. No, that's fine. I'll expect an offering, though.

Smiling and happy as ever. Fast's temple is sturdy and solid, with some ornamentation in the narthex and on the high-ranking priestly vestments, but it is modest. The temple is pleasantly clean in every nook and cranny.

A little less childlike for sure. I'm comfortable with that, but I think I might have a problem. Be a kid!　I'm not saying that, but I want them to grow up doing what they like to do.

That's what happened.

　While the servant goes to call Lapidus and Noel, I offer them the offerings and food, and think, well, I guess this is the end of the matter. What is the end of the story is a mystery to me. But I guess I'll have to make sure that the store will keep running even without me, a gentile, or ask the guild of commerce to help me find a new job, right?　The store has no channels for purchasing. --Maybe this world will end after the game is over.

They are about to hug each other when they realize that Liddell is next to them. I open my arms and he flaps them reassuringly and hugs me as usual.

Lapidus, Noel, good morning. This is Liddell. Liddell, this is Lapidus and Noel. I'm sure all three of you will be living together, so please get along with each other.

Lapidus, who was holding me in his arms, stretched out his upper body and looked at Liddell as if he was sniffing him. Liddell tilts his head and hastily hides behind my arms to look at me again. Lapidus' tail is wagging just as Liddell turns his head. An animal!　You're an animal, aren't you?　I shouldn't even wag my tail.

I stroked them, thinking, "Oh, my hair feels much better now..." Lapidus and Noel got teary-eyed. Liddell was watching them with a tilted head as they rubbed their faces against my robe.

　--I don't know if it was because he was a homunculus or what, but he hugged me at the time of naming me, but he doesn't seem to be in the habit of hugging or holding hands with Liddell. Well, I'm not going to say anything about the white alchemist, because the picture of him holding a little girl he made himself is borderline perverted.

　Liddell seems to be happy to be asked to do something or to take care of some task. I don't like to be tied down by others, but I don't understand why.

He summons Liddell and returns to the general store. We have the third floor of the liquor store, but we're already running out of rooms. That's strange.

　I tried to get Liddell to use my room, but he refused. Lapidus and Noel said they could share the room with me, so we decided to stay together for the time being. Once Liddell's alchemy is improved, there will be no need to keep a large amount of inventory in the warehouse, so I think I'll make Liddell's room by cutting down some of the third floor warehouse again.

We are greeted by an older couple of unknown age in the living room on the side of the liquor store. They are a regular duo, and I kind of want to follow their example, but it's impossible to get up early on a day when I don't have work. The futon is bliss.

Lapidus rubbed his head against me, and I wondered what was going on, but then I realized that he was rubbing Noel's head. He mistook it for white because it was white, and he was unconsciously rubbing it to calm his mind. He brushed Noel's messy hair with his hand and stroked Lapidus' head as well.
