...in the morning...

Yeah.

Lalabelle must be awake.

'It's a hunter's habit. But still, it's nice to have a life where you wake up in the morning with your husband next to you. Once upon a time, my brother said to me, 'You and a man sleeping together?　They said, 'The man who wakes up in the morning is going to die of shock.'

'It's best not to remind me of that...'



　Unlike traveling by ship, traveling in a mobile city was easier because it was left up to the Electronic Fairy.
　Electronic fairies are like product names, common names, or, in my opinion, they're like AI avatars.

　In addition to our respective private rooms, I made my own bedroom, where I slept with Lalabelle and Mew in turn with them.
　Since I have two wives, we'll have an equal turn there.
　Tomorrow I'm going to sleep with Mew.

　We do that kind of thing because we are husband and wife, but there are times when we don't and we talk and play games, and that's how we enjoy our time as a couple.
　By the way, we were both naked yesterday, as we had a proper married life.

'This bed is so much bigger than the one we had on the boat,'

　Of course, it was purchased through 'online shopping', and since the number of Eidolcs had been increasing recently, they had purchased a large amount of things to place in the mansion and use in the mansion.
　This, a bed that the five of us could sleep in together, is also an ultra-luxury bed made in a certain foreign country.
　I tried to waste hundreds of millions of Eidoluks worth of things to use in the mansion, but when I thought about it, I had no problem at all since it was in the black when I considered the amount I got from getting rid of the Skullworm.
　The cost of maintaining this mobile city wasn't as much as I thought it would be, or rather, it was close to zero compared to what I earned.

'Shall I take a bath in the morning?'

'I like that. This is the greatest luxury I've ever had, as a citizen of the desert.

　Together, they headed to the mansion's bathing area.
　On the boat trip, they would fill a small bathtub with water and Myu would magically heat it up to make hot water, or if it was too much trouble, they could just bathe in it, but the mansion was equipped with a large bathhouse.
　The energy generated by the perfect room temperature fusion reactor was used to generate electricity, which was stored in storage batteries, and the city was powered by that electricity.
　The nanomachines that were in charge of maintaining and repairing the mobile city were also made in a factory that used electricity as its energy source.
　For some reason, the standards and voltages of the electrical outlets are the same as those of electrical appliances that can be purchased through 'online shopping', so they are purchased as well.
　However, the temperature and humidity in the mobile city is controlled by the goldmaster, so there was no need for air conditioning.
　The two of us are in a giant bathtub together, but it's nice to feel luxurious.
　There is no greater luxury in this world than getting in a giant bathtub.

'Ah, good morning. Taro-san, Lalabell-sama.

　And then Miu Miu came over and started to soak in the tub.
　Naturally she's naked, but she's my wife too, so that's not a problem.

''Good morning, Taro-sama, Larabell-sama, and Miu-sama.''

　As expected of Frau, she's only twelve... she's still twelve... she's much older than the Japanese twelve year old, but aside from herself, neither Larabell nor Miu cares about her at all, so maybe that's just the way it is in this world.

'Taro-sama, what do you plan to do today?'

Actually, I'm thinking of building a garden.

Garden?

The garden is an oasis of sorts.

　When we escaped the dead oasis of the water source, Larabell had brought some trees and plants from there that he felt sorry for dying as it was, and he was going to transplant them into the garden to create an oasis-style garden.

'We are the oasis people. Even though we live in a mobile city, it's comforting to have something like that in our lives.

That's why.

Let me help you.

Me too.

　After we got out of the bath and had breakfast, we planted palm trees and other plants in the vacant garden of the compound, after careful consideration of their placement.
　Lalabelle was planting the palm tree with one hand in the hole I had dug in the ground.
　As expected of a terrific hunter, or perhaps he is a high level hunter, so he must be powerful.
　Mew and Frau were planting other plants, trees and flowers.

''Is it like this?''

All that's left to do is to pour water into the pond, which is a replica of the oasis fountain.

　This will be filled with water from the oasis spring that was stored in a polyethylene tank that was not used.
　Once the pond is finished filling up, the oasis-style garden is now complete.

'Oh no, it reminds me of the territory I abandoned.

'Yes. If we had stayed on like that, I think we'd be dry and dead by now. Because no matter how strong we are as hunters, the lack of water is the only thing we can do about it.

　That oasis that was given to Larabell as a territory would have been completely swallowed up by the desert by now.
　After all, the water from the spring has stopped flowing.
　It must have dried up in a short period of time, since it doesn't have a transparent dome to prevent the water from evaporating, like this mobile city.

'We need to water the trees and plants,'

　I watered the palm trees and plants I had planted and that was the end of the day's work.
　We continued to walk around the town, but of course many of the buildings were unoccupied and the agricultural area was empty.
　We had no choice, because we didn't have any manpower.
　Besides, you can buy vegetables and the like through 'online shopping'.
　It's far faster to buy them with the Eidolk earned from defeating sand beasts than farming.

''I suppose I shouldn't as the mayor of the town, though.

But you can't just send in a bunch of strangers.

　I don't want them to take over and cause a ruckus.
　We don't want him to be a spy or an assassin sent by the king.

The goldmaster is keeping the town in order, so if the time comes, we'll just deal with it. Let's go back.

　Back at the mansion, I made myself a cup of coffee for the first time in a long time.
　The coffee beans I purchased from "online shopping" were ground in the mill I bought with them, and I brewed the coffee in the coffee maker.
　I feel like I've been spending some non-stop time since I was summoned to this world.

''Coffee is a luxury. It smells vastly better than the one in King's Landing.''

There's also the fact that the scent flies off when the product is imported and in transit. But they are still very expensive.

　According to Larabell, no coffee beans are produced in the Kingdom of Burt.
　It seems that they are all imported, so they are incredibly expensive.
　I feel that the Kingdom of Bart doesn't seem to produce any kind of luxury goods at all.

It's not just the current king, it's the policy of the previous king. In order to conquer the world, the first priority is to produce food. But they are putting a lot of effort into alcohol. Though quantity, not quality, comes first.

For your amusement?

'If we keep them drunk, the commoners will have fewer complaints. That's the way it is.

I thought it was a common hand or.... a cigarette.

'I've heard that tobacco takes too much work to grow the leaves. It's also a luxury item.

　It's probably better than the drug kind, though.
　However, I heard that the taxes on alcohol were raised when he became the current king.

Miu Miu, do you like sugar?

Put some in, please.

　Lalabelle wants to taste the taste of the coffee itself, so I went with black.
　Mew has a little sugar.
　It seemed that it was too early for Frau to have black coffee, so I made her a cup with sugar and milk.

'It's delicious. 'This,'

It's been years since I've had coffee.

Even Lalabelle-sama is like this. I've only had it three times in my life.

　So, can coffee beans be used to make money, too?
　There's no point in making any more money, though.

There are at least a dozen mobile cities wandering around in the desert near here that are operated by people with long ears. There are other oases as well, so you thought you'd be a bush snake if you stuck your hand in here.　Goli. Gori is gori with sugar and milk on tap.

You just came out of nowhere.

　Before I knew it, the gorilla sitting in the chair was craving coffee, even though he was a gorilla.
　Is it okay to drink that stuff?
　It's not a perfect creature, so it doesn't matter.

"Desert elves....

They say men are the most beautiful people in the world and women are the ugliest.

　Well, by the standards of this world.
　Men and women look the same, but men are treated as beautiful and women are treated as dorks.
　This world is strange after all.

''Living mobile cities are easy to see each other, Gori. This gori town has been uninhabited and in energy-saving mode for more than eight thousand years, so gori who haven't encountered many other mobile cities are different from now on.

I see you've made contact with the desert elves. Are they dangerous?

　It's good to encounter them, but you don't want to be attacked out of the blue.

''The desert elves are mild-mannered. They were chased out of the oasis by the humans and were forced to operate a broken mobile city as their base of living, yet they still trade with humans normally.

　I heard that the desert elves have a high level of technology and can be almost self-sufficient in the city of the mobile capital.
　
　Also, the cloth woven by a special method is said to be popular with humans.
　It is said that hunters who are not strong enough will use clothes made of this cloth as material for armor.
　I heard that although it has more protection than leather armor, the price is also quite high, and only the best hunters can buy it.

'The owners of the mobile cities are all desert elves, and when they encounter them, they greet each other as fellow countrymen, give each other gifts, and trade with each other.

Should we do the same?

I think you should.

'Compared to my brothers, the desert elves should be more human. I also think it would be better to greet them with courtesy and give them a proper gift.

　It was a strange thing to say about being an elf and yet being able to create a human, but I understood that the desert elves were a mild-mannered and rational race.
　According to Larabell, he thinks they are much more sensible than his brother.

''Then we can admit that Taro-sama is the mayor of Gori-san Town, can't we?

　Greetings are the basis of relationships.
　Should we get it right and have them acknowledge that we are friends who live in the same mobile city?

'Golly, let me know if you think you can meet up with another mobile city.

'I'll be there tomorrow, Gori. That's what I came to tell you, Gori.

Yeah, it's early.

　Like us, the desert elves, a race of people who live in a mobile city.
　The men are beautiful and the women are ugly...I'm sure I'm beautiful as well...but in preparation for the time when we face them, we started to look for something worthy of a gift through 'online shopping'.

Gori, I want a banana chip. Gori, I love Gori.

Yeah... (That's a weird avatar...)

　I wondered if there was ever a gorilla on earth that liked banana chips, but I gave him ten kilos of commercial banana chips.
