Chapter 123

CHAPTER 123: AROUND AND AROUND, THE PLACE TO SETTLE DOWN

After confirming the spirits’ living accommodations, I escorted Hesty to her cabin .
It seems like she was at her limit, because as soon as she entered, Hesty laid down on the floor .

「Thank you…… . thanks to you I made, it here… . 」
「No, you haven’t reached your bed yet… . just a little further . 」

Inside the cabin was a small bed .
A small cushion/mattress was laid out on top of it .

I picked up Hesty and carried her to it .

「Thank you…… . . you really have amazing stamina . You used that much, magic……but it almost seems like, you’ve already recovered . 」
「I feel like you’ve said something similar to me before . Also, I’m hungry and tired . 」

It’d been a while since I’d eaten and I was starving .

「Is your body alright besides for being sleepy?」
「n, I’m ok . Coming here, will improve my, recovery power……… . . so I should be back, to normal, tomorrow… . . 」

I’m glad . It seems like Hesty was moving around from the start of the festival all the way to the end . It’d be best for her to get a good rest I thought, when Hesty looked at my face .

「Also…… . thank you, for taking me to the, festival . I got tired… . but I had, a really good time . 」
「Yeah, I had fun too . 」
「n… . . I’m glad . Ok, good night……」

She said and immediately fell asleep .


She must’ve been really tired .

「Good night…… . . 」

She curled up and her face loosened as I covered her with a blanket and quietly left the cabin .
PICTURE

*************************************
I walked through my garden by the light of the moon as I returned to my home .

My house that had become a tower . I hadn’t thought so when I was living here just a few days ago but… .

…… . now that I look at it with fresh eyes…it really has become large .

It might be a little late to say this, but maybe my common sense was being numbed from living here . Well, as long as it’s comfortable ot live in… . . I thought as I entered .

Then I used the magic elevator to ascend the tower .

*Vmmmmmmmmmm*

A light buzzing sound occurred as I rose up .
The outer wall of the elevator was made with transparent materials so I could see the outside as I rode it . I looked out and saw fireworks flying up from the town .
It was pretty distant, but they were large enough to appreciate .

「… . . the end of the festival huh…」

As I looked out at the beautiful fireworks that reality struck home .
Soon I reached the top floor and the doors opened to…

「Welcome back Master . 」

It felt like it’d been a long time since I’d been greeted by Sakura like this .

「Hey, I’m home Sakura . 」
「Yeah! I’ve finished dinner so we can eat while enjoying the fireworks . 」

Sakura said wearing her apron and returning to the kitchen .
Then I heard the sound of the pot heating up .

…it’d been three days since I’d been home… .

It hadn’t been very long . It was only three days .

… . . the town and townspeople had been lively…it was fun… .

But even so…I thought…

「After all, my house is the best . 」
