Chapter 46.1 – It’s Summer so I Want to Eat Something Cool

The power of nobles is amazing!

I really think so.

I mean, acquiring land has become much easier the moment I became a spouse of a noble.

Like, I didn’t even have to go to the real estate agency. The biggest real estate agency in Torquiva even came to me in person to say…

「I heard that Sawadi-sama was looking for a site for a theater…」

Then, put a list of land for sale that looked good for me.

So far, we have been struggling to acquire land for factories and apartments. We only managed to buy a few pieces of land.

This time, the real estate agent showed a big plot of land that could easily accommodate a university.

The price was a little higher than the market price but it was a very good deal.

So far in my life, I’ve been indebted to the signboard of my parent’s family, the Schenker. However, the signboard saying “noble” is overwhelmingly amazing.

The talk progresses much better.

Of course, I jumped at it without a second thought.

However, the money I had saved up until then was not enough to pay for the land so I asked for a two-year loan to cover the cost of the land.

Normally, a loan this big would require a guarantor but….

The real estate agent told me that I could get a loan without a guarantor and I almost choked up.

No, no, my profit is increasing so I should be able to pay it back normally, right?

I can pay it back but given that my current status is so much different than before, I feel a heavy responsibility of being a noble…..

Well, I just have to think positively that I can do more things.

The land had some buildings and slopes in places so I’m going to have the slaves clear the land.

Until then, I’ll save up enough money to build something better. But for now, I’ll probably use it as a training or playground.

It was the middle of summer. It has been a while since I finished my shopping of a lifetime.

It was my day off and I was sitting lazily on a chair at home while staring out of the window.

I don’t know why but after I’ve gone on a big shopping spree, I’m strangely in a state of clarity.

Perhaps there was a battle in my head between what I’d gained and what I’d lost.

At the window, my wife, Laura-san, was reading a book. The curtains sway with the wind, creating a gradation of light on the floor.

The tail of a small flying dragon, Torf, who was sleeping soundly on top of my head, is wagging before my eyes.

Just as I was about to surrender myself to the drowsiness that was swelling inside me, a servant entered the room.

「Master, madam, the food is ready.」

「Yeah」

「Umu」

I walked to the dining room, dragging my sluggish body along.

We, mages, can wear wind so we don’t get caught up in the heat.

But even if I fan myself all day long, hot is hot.

Summer is hot, summer is dull, and this is the truth that transcends in all worlds.

「Today’s lunch is sauteed mutton ribs. The soup is tomato….」

Head maid Grandma Mion explained everything to me but nothing entered my head.

I don’t have an appetite.

I want something more refreshing.

Well, I’ll eat whatever they serve me.

「Kwuunnnn…..」

「Ara, Torf-chan is hungry too? Then, here you go.」

While I was struggling with the hot lamb chops, Grandma Mion pulled out a magic crystal from her apron pocket and brought it in front of the little flying dragon.

Laura-san was the one who named it Torf.

I don’t know where it came from but I’m glad it’s not a strange name.

If someone in the world had a name that was so nasty on earth, it would be hell if I laughed at it because only I would know what it was.

Torf took the magic crystal from Grandma Mion’s hand, gulped it, and rubbed its head against her hand.

So far, the reputation of the learning-type magic constructs among the servants is good.

Everyone seems to be taking good care of it and Grandma Mion even made a bed for it out of a basket and cloth.

The other servants also touch it and talk to it whenever they see it.

To be frank, they are like pet robots from my previous life. They are still in the process of learning so they don’t have an ego yet. However, people who don’t know much about magic construct seem to take that as part of their personality.

I’d like to have more data so I might as well distribute it to servants who want one.

I’m sure the people here can read and write so they won’t have any problem writing a report.

I watch Torf yawning with its wings open on the old woman’s hand as I made plans for the afternoon.

The food is great but I find it hard to eat hot meat and drink warm soup on a hot day like this…..
