"Lord Noah, how would you like the house plans to look like this?

　It's been three days since I got into trouble at Alisa's house.
　The burnt ruins where my house used to be have been cleaned up by the demons and the foundation for a new house has been laid. The demons did the heavy lifting in that area as well, receiving guidance from Lute-san. Puppy, in particular, was doing his best because he was the cause of it.
　And it was today that Lute-san showed me the blueprint of my new house - my new house.

　I was rather selfish when we discussed it before.
　It's a two-story building with a large front door that even a puppy can get through. Next to the front door was a kennel for Bau to live in. As you enter, there is Milo's room on the right, and the Puppy's room on the left. Going straight in, you can find Gilanka's room and Chappie's room. There is a living room on the far side where Puppy can come in and spend time with us, where he can cook his meals. And when we went upstairs, it was all my space.
　As a result, let's see how it turned out.

　It was a mansion.

　Even Arisa, who is sitting next to me looking at the blueprints, is rolling her eyes.

''Noah-dono, this is........too big, isn't it?

'....Yeah, it's big. Well, I guess it can't be helped...?

A dragon will live in the house. I don't care what kind of house you build, no one will complain about the great lord Noah.

That's all well and good, but obviously we're missing some wood, aren't we?

Yes. It would be great if you could prepare a little extra.

Okay. I'm gonna go cut some trees.

　Maybe I'll do what I did last time and get some wood from the edge of the woods.
　It wasn't meant to be a mansion, I've been laying around for the last three days. Alisa prepared all the meals for me. I just ordered the demons to listen to Lute and left them alone.
　I'm sure that the other children have been quite busy since they were playing with Lute's grandchildren before, and they wanted to play with the demons as well. This reminds me of what Milo was complaining about yesterday.
　For now, I'll let the kids wait. I don't want to do the felling by myself.

'Okay then, Alisa. I'm going to go out for a while.

'Yeah. Let's get the food ready and wait.

Yes.

In that case, I'll leave you to it.

　I tell Alisa and leave the house.
　It's like we live together, but it's not really that kind of relationship. I'm just a housemate.
　Well, Alisa is worthwhile and takes care of me for such a housemate. The food she makes is delicious. It's all vegetables and beans.

Hello, Milo!

Oh.

　And the place that is going to be my home - that's where the demons are always sitting.
　I'm ordering them to do this because I'm afraid that the elves will be scared if I let them wander around the village too much. Well, you can often see them playing with children these days, so I don't think the old elves will be too upset. Just a consideration, you know.

I'm going to go cut down some wood.

You're not going back...

I'm not going to be the one to carry it around.

'Master!　I'm coming with you!　I'll help you!

Thanks, Bow.

　Milo sat up like a bother, and Puppy was clearly not into it. Well, last time you carried it with a rope strapped to your leg.

We have to cut down more wood today. I've got to bring enough to build a house.

"My Lord, will you take me away?

Yeah. Gilanka will be coming with us today. Well well then, Chappie. Can you take care of it?

I'll do it. I'll take care of it.

Well, demons don't attack you, so it's not like you're an escort.

　If you leave Chappie alone, he might play with the kids.
　His tone is trite, but he's a gentle chappy at heart. I think he'll take it easy and play with the kids.

'Well then, Pappy, head back to the same place as before.

Well, all right. Step up on my back.

'Wow!　It's a walk in the sky!

Oh, I've never been here before. Excuse my back, Master Puppy.

It's not much fun. It's expensive.

What's the matter with you, big boy, you're afraid of heights?

Nah, it's nothing like that!　Little guy!

You were right. It's just a coincidence. For a big guy, you're just a coward.

Shut up!

　I've learned about Milo's surprising weaknesses, but we all ride on his back for now.
　I was in the front, Gilanka was behind, and Miro was at the end. By the way, the reserved seat in the bow is at the back of my head. He smells like a dog.

　I spread my wings, and Puppy's body slowly floats up. It's a strange sensation to see Puppy floating in the air like this, even though he didn't move his wings.
　According to Puppy, the wings are only there to determine the direction of its flight, and the force of its flight is the electric current it carries on its wings. That's what serves as lift and supports the body.
　Yeah, I didn't study it very much, so I don't understand some of the difficult stuff.

"Yay!　It's expensive!　It's a nice view!

Oh, it is indeed a sight to behold. Well, I can see why Mr. Bau would be so pleased.

....

Hey, say something, man. It's huge.

Ugh, shut up.

　Come to think of it, the last time I rode the puppy, Milo didn't say a word. I guess that was because he was scared.
　But we'd need Milo to cut down the timber. Gilanka will be in charge of roping the wood together with me. Puppy doesn't have any particular work to do while he's putting the wood together. Instead, I leave him with the responsibility of transporting us there and back, especially on the way home, and he has to carry it to his death. What, Bau?　Of course, there's no job that can be entrusted to me, so I'm a watchman.

Hmm. It's a nice view.

　I guess the city I can see from the forest is the city of Rafas, the closest one from here.
　As expected, the imperial capital is not visible. Even from the ruins of Rilkara, it's a distance of two days by high-speed carriage. In addition, there was no way I could see my birthplace beyond the imperial capital--Andreas Frontier County--that was beyond the imperial capital.
　Well, I guess I'll never return to that house again. It's not that I don't want to go back.

　I'm already planning to make this elven hiding place my second home.
　Alisa introduced me to various elves. The same goes for Lute, the architect, Albers, who is an excellent water bottle maker, and Hierro, who is an excellent furniture maker. They were all uniformly grateful to me. They all said it was because of Master Noah that our village was saved from danger.
　I'm happy that they accept me.
　And I'm happy for that.
　After all.

Anyway, let's hear some words, huh? Ha-ha-ha, he's looking all teary-eyed.

I'm gonna tell you to shut the f*ck up, man.

Oh, dear, you're trembling. Hey, I'll give you a little push.

No, no!　Don't touch it!

　In the background, there was such an exchange.

'Haha!　The tree looks like a pea pod!　Mr. Puppy, it's expensive!

"Ha-ha!　I can fly like this because I am my dragon!

The dragon is cool!

"Ha-ha!　You deserve more praise!

　Above and in front of my head, there is such an exchange.
　They're friendly and noisy, my people are there.

　Yes, I'm happy.
　Because this is how I got my home, this is how I got my friends.
