 The day after spinning the item gacha, we've finished breakfast and are sitting around our desks to discuss today's plans.

''For now, I think we're going to look at buying a house today but each of you can tell me what you'd like to do.

 The last thing we talked about yesterday was buying a house. I do think it would be useful in many ways to have a house of our own.
 As long as we have a house, we won't have to go through the hassle of hiding and moving our beacons out of town, and we won't have to worry about getting out the gacha-produced stuff.
 I'm sure we'll have even more friends in the future, and I'm not sure if I'm ready for this now. Plus, I'd like to try out the house extension.
 For now, we're all good friends and don't hate each other, but someone might ask for a single room.
 Even Noll and the others would really want a private room I'd like to do my own power generation in a place where I'd feel safe.
 I don't think it's a good idea for me to decide on my own, so let's get everyone's opinion first.

''I'm open to anything.

 Noor responded immediately and flatly. This would be a roundabout way of saying that he didn't think about anything.
 Anything is the most annoying answer I've ever had to give.... Well, I honestly don't have much of an idea either. In the original world, buying a house was a dream come true, and I never thought I'd end up buying one over here first.

''Well I don't know what a house extension is, and if it's a big house, why not?''

'And preferably somewhere close to the Adventurer's Society, I suppose?

 Esther replies with a hand on her cheek, gesturing thoughtfully a little. Sisuha interjects to add to the idea.
 Would it be better to have as large a house as possible, as she says? Well, if you think about it, you know that the number of people will be increasing, so a bigger house is better.
 But considering that we'll be able to expand with the house extension, I think a smaller house would be fine. I don't know how it's going to be expanded, so it's hard to say.
 And I'd prefer to be closer to the Adventurer's Society. The Adventurer's Society is located on the south side of King's Landing, facing the front street that leads to the back of King's Landing.
 If it's close to that, the price will be correspondingly high.

''Hmmm.......a place with a large house and an adventurer's association close by? It might be quite difficult.''

 To begin with, this is a city called the royal capital, and I think it's quite expensive to buy a house.
 There are a lot of shops around that area, and it's a commercial district, a downtown area, if you will. I don't know what this world decides the price based on, but I think that area is probably expensive.
 When the condition that it is wide is included, you might have to be quite prepared.

Let's go to a real estate agent for now and discuss it.

 I can't even begin to think about it, so I'll go to a real estate agent and ask first. It's free if you just ask.
 ........I wonder if there's such a thing as a real estate agent.



 I asked the innkeeper if there was a real estate agency, and he said there was, so I decided to go there as soon as I could to ask him where it was.

'This is the first time you and your brother have gone out together, isn't it?'

'Oh, yeah?'

Yes, I do. Even when you go shopping, you have Noor or Sisha with you, right? I've never been alone with you before.

 Since we can't all go together, I'm bringing Esther along as a chaperone.
 Because out of the three of us, she seems to be the best one to ask for our opinions... or rather the most sane one, including me.
 He walks beside me with a smile on his face, happy that it's just the two of us going alone. He's grabbing the hem of my clothes and toddling along.
 I didn't notice it at first, but my walking speed was a little fast, and I think I was forcing myself to follow, so I'm slowing down to match it now.
 I've been walking so slowly that I was one person behind when we did the big battle. Should I have noticed it earlier?
 Normally, I don't hesitate to say what I'm thinking, but at times like this, I don't say anything at all.

'Welcome!'

 I arrived at the real estate office and walked in as soon as I could and was greeted by a man. A pleasant atmosphere. A handsome man with short blonde hair.
 This world is basically full of beautiful people, and when I recognize that again, I feel like I'm going to sigh.

''Um, I'd like to purchase a house.''

Yes, what kind of building are you looking for?

 He leads me to a desk and we start talking with Esther and I sitting side by side in chairs with the men sitting across from us, facing each other.
 What kind of. Can I tell you what I discussed with the girls earlier?

''Oh, well... for now, the Adventurer's Association is close by, so...''

And I'd like a single-family home, do you have a good place for that?

 I opened my mouth unsurely, but halfway through, Esther added and answered.
 Ah, so there was a single-family home or something like that. If you're going to use the house extension, you can't have an apartment complex.

''If it's a single-family home in that area it's going to start at roughly 70 million G at the very least.

70 million g's?

That's a little more than I expected...

 70 million G's.............................and that's the least. Right now we have 390 gold coins and 50 large silver coins. And a little bit of silver and copper coins, that's about 40 million G.
 Since I came to this world, it was easy to save up since I didn't make any big purchases and only spent on supplies and lodging.
 In the original world, I charged a lot of money and didn't save it, but in this world, gacha can be done with magic stones, so I only use the money to live.
  Or is it better to earn money and save it until you can pay it off in one lump sum?
 I think it's pretty quick to have accumulated so much in a few months or so. The big thing is that I was able to get a lot of Stinger's shells to buy out of the market.
 Now I've shed too much on the market and the purchase price has gone down a bit.
 Unlike most adventurers, there's no limit to the number of drop items we can have, so we can make money fairly quickly. Probably if you concentrate on it, you can make ten million in a month or so.

And how big would you like it to be?

Well, I'm thinking of having four or more of us live here.

Then you should expect it to take more than 90 million Gs.

 To tell you the truth, I got a little over 20 million on top of that..... Did we underestimate it a bit too much?
 Estelle and I look at each other. And then, under the desk, Esther crossed the index fingers of both hands and was making a mark of failure.
 Yeah, this isn't good. Let's just listen to the story this time and leave.



We're back.

'Huh, I didn't expect it to be that expensive...'

 I heard about other properties, etc. after that, but I was told that a place in a location close to the gate would be at least 15 million G or more.
 I think I'd like that price near the Adventurer's Society, but I'd regret buying a place that's so far away.
 I was wondering if there was anything accidental about it, but there wasn't.
 Esther didn't think it was that expensive either, or she sighed and looked a little tired.

'So what do you propose to do, sir? Are you going to hunt with the goal of saving money in the future?

'No, Esther and I have been talking and thinking about it, and I think we should go to Brunne.

 I'm glad I took Estelle with me. If it was just me, I would have bought a place there anyway....or 15 million Gs or something.
 I decided against buying and decided to talk to her about it and change my mind. The first thing we would do is buy in a city where there is a cheap house and use the house extension there.
 It's a consumption system, so once you've used it, you can't use it again. So I would really like to buy my real life house and then use it.
 But instead of using it in an expensive house, it's better to try it in a cheap house and see what happens. I don't know if I'll get the next one in the mess but I'd be too shocked if I buy a 70 million G house or something and fail.
 Well, it's a long way from the ideal of setting up in the house and going immediately to the hunting grounds, but it's not an option. I tried the beacon when I went to Mt. Lemurie, but as I suspected, it was limited in distance.
 So I'll have to leave a relay from Brunne to King's Landing.......I need more beacons.

Brunne? Is this where you went before I was called up?

'Oh, yes. Sisha is the only one who has never been to Brunne, and it would be a good time to go there.

 It was after I came to King's Landing that I called Sis-ha, so I nodded my head when I heard it was Brunne.
 I've been in King's Landing for longer than I've been in King's Landing now, but it's the first city I went to, so I feel a little nostalgic.

'I don't know what a house extension is first, and we can try it out where it looks cheap, right?

Yes, you are right. It's a good thing we didn't let Okura-dono go alone. I'm going to go buy some suitable ones.

Oh, you son of a b*tc*!

 I was told I was a slacker and my hand went out to pinch his cheek again, but before I could, he grabbed my arm and stopped me.
 Kuh, I guess it's because I've gone too far that I'm being dealt with. Noll also understands me somehow........

The fact is, I'm not the one who's always getting beaten up! It's only to be expected that Okura-dono would try to pinch my cheek!

 Noor is grinning like he's won. I tried to pull my hand back because I was pissed off, but the hand that was being held as hard as I could didn't freak out.
 Or rather, the grip is somehow getting stronger - atta! Wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, you're breaking!
