In the end, I decided to keep my promise to White last night and sleep with White and Wendy.
The reason for this is because there are only three beds in this house, and there was no bed for Aina, Sorte, and Renge to sleep in.

I could have sent them back to the inn where they were originally staying, but I found Sorte sleeping on the sofa when I got out of the bath, so I let her stay.
But considering that the six of us will be living together from now on, we'll have to buy a new bed.
I can sleep in my bed for the three of us, but to be honest, I'd rather not have to worry about the night.

Nothing happened yesterday, but it's not like there won't be any in the future.
I can't help but feel that it's getting to be a slow life in another world, or rather an erotic life in another world.

........Well, I still need more money, so I guess I'll go to work early in the morning.
Let's do our best to be able to relax after lunch.

When I went out into the living room, leaving White and Wendy still sleeping, there was another child who was awake early in the morning.

'Huh?　Your husband's early in the morning, isn't he?
You can go back to sleep. You can go back to sleep, you know.

Renge talks to me while lying down on the couch, and then he raises himself up to make room for me to sit.
When I sat down on the vacated sofa, Renge's expression changed to one of seriousness.

''Um, sir. Thank you once again.''
Hmm?　Did you wash yourself in the bath yesterday?　It was a good experience for me too. Next time, please.
Not that one!　No, I wouldn't mind having you do it again.
Ho. You want my face between your thighs that badly?
Why is your husband so disappointed...

Rude.
I think I'm a pervert, but I don't think I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm sorry I lied. I might be disappointed.

Not anymore. It's about you helping me out.
Yeah, well, yeah. Don't worry about it.
That being said, I actually really appreciate it.
I appreciate it. It was a good experience for me.
So...... Huh. That's enough. By the way, why did your husband wake up so early?
'Nope. I thought we were short on beds, so I thought I'd do some work for that.
Are you working?　Your husband's an alchemist, isn't he?　Is it that lucrative?
Well, in that way?

I don't even know what a typical income is like.
But are you a pretty profitable person?
It's pretty easy to get gold coins and stuff like that.

Yeah, and I'm a drifter.
Really?　I've heard that a drifter has a special skill, but does your husband have one too?
I have. Let's see?
Isn't that dangerous?
No, not at all. "Pocket money.

Your spending skills have been raised to skill level 3.

Oh.
Multiple golden coins slowly descend on my palm.
Finally, it's level 3.
Previously it was one gold coin, but this time it's one, two, three, four, five.
Now you get five gold coins!
That means 500,000 knolls a day!

What a skill!　The gold coins are falling!
Heh, okay.
'I'm so jealous!　How can I use that too?
Well, it's a unique skill, so I don't think you can.
Yeah, I want it.
Well, I'll give you an allowance and you can use the money to make your purchases.
Oh, do I get paid?　I'm a crime slave, you know?
Hmm?　Don't criminal slaves get paid?
I can't have it......... I thought last night's meal was the last luxurious dinner, and I ate a lot of it, but........

Yeah.........
Could it be that's why all three of you were eating until you were breaded?
Come to think of it, Yashis told me that crime slaves are often bought with the assumption that they will become prostitutes or be used up.

'Well, I'll treat them as slaves, but don't worry, I'm not going to treat them as criminal slaves.
But that doesn't make a difference.
Hmm. So you want me to treat you like a whore?　Then I'm not going to let you wear clothes while you're in this house. No walking on two feet either. You want me to constantly shake my ass and force a flirtatious glance at you?
I didn't say that much!
I'd doubt myself too if I went that far.

That's a devilish pervert.
I'm a gentleman pervert. Don't get me wrong.

Well, all right. I don't care what I do with my life. If I'm a criminal slave, I'm in control.　It's my choice if you want to eat your food or send us on an adventure. As long as you don't harm us and don't bring any unnecessary trouble to us, that's fine.
Are you still up for the adventure?
'You can't make me leave the guild if I become a criminal slave, can you?　Then you'll be collecting materials for me, and you'll keep going.
"Well..... Does that change anything from what you've been doing?　I've got a house, I've got food, I've just been upgraded to a better life than usual...
You're going to have to work hard for it. You know I'm a sucker for eroticism!

Do you think I'm the worst person to pay for pornography?
'You know what I mean?' to the shoplifting girl. I'm like the manager of a store.
Well, if you think about it, I'm the worst.

Haha, I learned that a lot yesterday. But, well, they've already seen it all!　I can't even think of anyone else at this point, so I'll just give up and prepare myself.

Renge replied with a subtle mixture of resignation and self-mockery, but ended up with a nice smile on her face.
Then let's get right to it, but I'll ask you to do one favor.

''Then, as soon as possible, come with me to the alchemy room.
What.... Is this sudden?
I don't need it.
You can tell by the look on your husband's face what he's thinking!　My face is so erotic and scary!

No big deal.
I'm just asking for your help so that I can work comfortably in the morning when I'm really sleepy.
So, here I am in the alchemy room.
I shut the door from the inside.

"Why do you lock the door?
I don't need it.
I'm very nervous..... I'm also new to this...
Just sit on the couch for now.

I put the tools I'll be using today out on the desk once.

'Oh, you're going to use the tools?
Well, I can't do without it.
Preferably gently and normally...
'I need this and this and this and this. Hmmm ... ah, let's try that one too.
Ummm........I didn't hear that. I would have liked to be in bed for the first time if I could....
So let's get to it.
Sss..... I'm looking forward to working with you.

He sits Renge on the edge and I put my head on Renge's thighs.
Ooh. This lap pillow is the best!　It's great!

What...?
Hmm?
What's that, uh, what is it?
A knee-slapper?
Huh, no, what?　Is that all you have?
Oh, yeah.
''Huh.......... I feel like an idiot for being so nervous.........


What in the world was I imagining?
I just wanted to do some alchemy work while being kneeling on my lap.
Normally, White would be on my lap, but today he's still sleeping.
Lately, it's been calming to feel White's weight as I work.
Maybe it's the human touch that makes me feel safe.
White doesn't disturb me either, he just gets on my lap and dangles his legs and leans on me while looking at my hand.

'Hmm?　Did you expect them to do something eloquent to you?
She had the same eyes as her husband did when he got horny.
'Well..... Then I'll live up to your expectations and take off my bottom.
Oh, I'm fine!　Look, my husband has to concentrate on smelting.

I don't like a dog with a good sense of humor.
I was just trying to enjoy the bottom half naked kneeling pillow of my dreams.
It's just that I definitely won't be able to focus on smelting, which is the main problem.
Well, it's okay because Renge is still in shorts and a raw thigh knee pillow right now.

'So, what are you going to make?'
Hmm. Well, it's a surprise when it's done.
I'm looking forward to seeing it in action for the first time.

But there's not much to look at now because there's basically a lot of forgery (multi-copying) using the magic space.
However, the base accessories must be made by hand forming (handing), so I was going to do hand forming today.

I'm getting used to hand forming.
I turned the gold and silver ores that Aina and Sorte got for me into ingots and stretched them into thin pieces to make a bracelet.
I inlaid the gems into it and worked on it with more gold and silver, and it was complete.


Gold and silver work on a ruby bracelet: "Anti-poisoning (medium), anti-demon (medium), and anti-power (medium).

Well, it's something like this.
It's easy to make something like this with good performance these days, so it's not that elaborate in its design.
Even so, the reason why it has a certain level of effectiveness is probably because the materials and alchemy level is high.

Haha. It's just so quick.
I'm used to it. Here. This is for you, Renge.

With that, you hand the bracelet you just made to Renge.

You're sure?　You used some pretty expensive materials, though.

Well, if I'm going to sell it, 800,000 knolls is hard to come by.

'Well, the other guys have my accessories and only Renge doesn't have them.
Oh. Well then, since it's such a great opportunity, I'll just eat it!

Renge immediately put a happy face on the bracelet.
What can I say, any woman would be happy to receive an ornamental piece of jewelry.

Do I look good with such an expensive-looking thing?
Nope, looks good on you.
Ehehe. It's a bit embarrassing.
Well, I'm glad to hear you're happy.

It'll improve their abilities, too.
As long as the three of us are in charge of collecting materials, there's nothing I can do but back them up like this and make sure they come back safely.
It's as simple as that.

Now then, shall we resume the smelting process?
I'm afraid Rainrich will be angry with me if I don't go to him wholesale from time to time.
I think it's a shame that I don't have a handlers for myself to sell them, but how should I open a store?
But if I open a store, my slow life will be even more distant.
Then, I'm fine as it is.
There are quite a few places that will buy my stuff.
Plus, we'll just have to make a few more.

Mmm-hmmm...
Good morning, sir.
I've got a nice pillow.
Hmm. So you'll continue to do this?
That's fine too, but...

I look towards the locked door.

'Master?　Are you here, Master?　Why do you keep the door locked?
Lord, open up, if you're here. What are you doing with that Renge?
Hey!　You're not messing with the sprouts, are you!
"Oh, hey guys. No matter how early in the morning my lord is, I'm not going to be able to... No, but...

Four of you are up.
They're making a lot of noise and looking for me, but oh well.

"Oh, you sure you don't want to open it?
'I'm not done smelting yet. We'll just keep it that way until we make two more.
Wow. I don't know, right?
You'll be pissed off with me.
Hmm. Well, I guess so. I don't want to be disturbed right now, so I'll get angry with your husband.

The pounding on the door continues, but we continue to make accessories while the two of us chatter on about trivial matters.
When Shiro and Sorte tried to break down the door, we got angry, but after I opened the door, Wendy accused me of looking at her silently, and Renge was forced to sit upright in front of Shiro and Sorte.
Nevertheless, I think today's alchemy could be done in a fulfilling way.
