755-Let's go fishing with Anima ④






 When we decided to stay the night and finished eating, Anima quickly flew a hummingbird to contact me. This kind of care and quick action is a quintessential thing.
 In the meantime, I took out the magic tool I've always wanted to use from the magic box and began to prepare for it.

 It is a portable pet house that I bought at the auction at the Rokkou Festival, and it is officially called a small portable temporary housing installation magic tool, its log house type.
 It's a great tool that makes a house appear by setting up and activating the magic tool, as the name suggests. I've bought a pet house, so I thought I'd buy the same type of magic tool that people can stay in, but I never had a chance to use it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out later, but this small, portable magic tool for setting up temporary housing is actually quite common, and there are many different kinds of popular magic tools.
 It seems to be an essential tool for adventurers in particular, and it is often the first thing they buy when they have accumulated some money.
 It's also said to be the best for camping as it protects you from rain and wind better than tents, and it's almost effortless to set up.
 The log cabin type I bought is quite expensive, but the small hut type is affordable and easy to afford.
 In fact, Luna-san, a former adventurer, said that she has a small house-type one in her possession.

 But even so, it's still much more expensive than the same size house, and it works continuously... It's a magic tool that has limited uses because it has a limit to how long it can keep the temporary housing open, and unlike the magic box, it can't hold anything else.
 It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on one of the most expensive log house types I've ever purchased, it's a two-story house with a bath and a two-day continuity. The price is 400 white gold coins, or 4 billion yen. As usual, they were purchased from Alice, so they are more expensive than usual, but they are high quality.

I'm going to put this auxiliary magic tool where you want it to be, and then activate it once.
It doesn't look like there's a problem.

 When you activate the auxiliary magic tool, it detects your surroundings and checks if there is enough space to make a temporary house appear, and if there are any obstacles. If the color of the auxiliary magic tool changes from red to blue, it means it can be installed.

''........Oh, but as I recall, for large items, you have to contact the country's specialized department for the location and duration of the installation to get permission?
''Well I think it's safe to say that your master is not subject to any adaptations as far as the laws of the country are concerned, but you might want to call around Lasse-dono in Hummingbird.
'Right. Well, we'll do the actual installation later and fly the Hummingbird to Mr. Lise and we'll continue fishing while we wait for his response.
Yes!

 So we flew the Hummingbird to Mr. Lasse and resumed fishing again - too soon! I already got a reply!
 I didn't need to start fishing but I got a hummingbird from Mr.Lasse immediately. To sum it up, he said, "Thanks for contacting me, no problem at all. I'm jealous of you because it's not easy for me to go camping or anything like that because of my position.
 I replied that if there is an opportunity, let's go together and activate the magic tool that was in the process of being activated.

''........Oh, great. No, I knew it, but I didn't know that the house really came out of nowhere.......magic is still amazing.
'It's a fine log cabin... what do you want me to do, do you want me to check inside first?'
'Let's do that, I'll have to decide on a room and all. Alice says that the minimum amount of furniture is loaded from the start, but...
If Lady Alice made it, I'm sure she did.

 ........It seems that Anima really thinks highly of Alice, and I can see from her remarks that she trusts her highly.
 Anyway, first of all, I went into the log house with Anima to check out the inside. The smell of wood is so pleasant.
 The first is a large room with a large kitchen and living room, and it looks like it would be perfectly fine for a large group of people. The private rooms are lined up on the second floor, and this one is apparently the bedroom.
 There are four rooms on the second floor.......when you add up the living room and such, it looks like it can accommodate about ten people without problems.
 The bath is......like a cypress bath! That's what I'm talking about, Alice, I know what I'm talking about.


"Anima?
Oh, no! I'm sorry, I was just making up my mind a bit.
...Yeah?

 The only thing that bothered me, for some reason, was the serious look that Anima showed when I checked the bath... but I was so excited about my first log cabin that I didn't check it out in depth and headed to the next place.

 And that was a fatal mistake. Maybe it was because I was dealing with a serious and solid anima, and I was caught off guard.
 I should have remembered that this is where I should have remembered that. I should have remembered what I had experienced as a result of my optimistic view of the 'place of the bath'....
