Chapter 164 – The Married House of Sargadis (9)
In fact, our family of three wasn’t very obsessed with the condition of the house.
If you say this, you might wonder what kind of bullshit these guys are trying to buy a newlywed house—even though they only have two wives—but this was 100% true, MSG-free.
From me first
I never bought a house with my own money when I was on Earth.
Even when I was independent from my parents, I worked part-time in a one-room studio where there was nothing I didn’t like except the monthly rent.
Maybe that’s why I felt that ‘a place with a kitchen and a spacious bathroom, not a semi-basement’ was enough for what I wanted for the condition of the house.
Since I came to this goddamn world, I rode lab room-dormitory-lab room tech every day.
Any fucking place would be better than a slave market. I will decline the bitter cold of the natives of Western Kitay again.
‘This is the same for Fran and Dana.’
The type who left their hometown and moved around the world before settling down in their 20s!
In this world, it was a type you see more often than you think.
People from other worlds decided their future at the crossroads of either living where they were born until they died, or leaving their hometowns and becoming Homo Otherworldus of the Serengeti, pioneering their own future.
A person whose family is not wealthy cannot inherit his parents’ property and becomes the latter. That’s why there are so many adventurers in this world.
Because we were like that, I honestly thought I might end up just looking around and stamping the contract until I came here.
—I think I’ll adapt as long as the water doesn’t leak and the bed is soft.
─I totally agree. It’s fine if it’s not cold in winter.
─If there’s a leak, I’ll fix it!
Before going to the government office, such a conversation took place.
But that was a stupid idea I was able to get off of because I hadn’t bought a house with my own money yet.
Since it would take billions of money, I couldn’t move on with the mindset of thinking about even trivial things.
“──Isn’t the floor slightly lifted?”
I searched the house as sensitively as a detective who found the footprints of a serial killer. It was enough to step on the floor of the first floor at random and even check the hinges of the wardrobe that came with the option.
An expedition boy who checks the other person’s groin in Pakchon, Thailand, wouldn’t be as cautious as I am now.
Of course, if my wives were bored while I was doing that, it wasn’t even that.
Dana was stabbing the ceiling of the basement with a stick. Frank went down to the garden and examined his wall with a gloved hand.
To put it bluntly, I felt like I was searching for flaws in this house more ferociously than when I was exploring the underground tower.
“Please watch slowly.”
Do other people act like this before buying? The staff in charge didn’t even notice us. It seems that the guarantee is falling by selling the house like a real estate agent.
Staff in charge standing outside the house and enjoying the lupine time of the salary.
It was the attitude of a fucking civil servant. Even in this world, all jobs that dig and eat land are jobs that suck honey.
‘Well, it’s good for us if we leave it alone.’
There was no one to stop us, so my wife and I showed off our adventurer’s unique investigative abilities to the fullest.
Like when exploring ruins, we overturned the two-story house and gathered at the entrance two hours later.
“The basement warehouse is worse than I thought. I overlooked the lack of ventilation.”
“The wall is fine. Still, since the soil in the garden is a bit spoiled, it would be better to sprinkle some potion on it.”
“I secretly sprinkled water with magic, but the bathroom drains well. The floor was wooden, but it was clean and there was no mold.”
We put our heads together and weaved opinions. Still, isn’t this pretty damn good for a house in another world?
It would have been nice to have a suitable house even if I paid money like in the fucking game.
You Mr. I thought it was spring only when the flowers were gone.
“… Would you like to visit another house?”
Dana and I exchanged glances with her and nodded her head as her Fran asked as she removed her gloves.
At most, you might live for several years, but shouldn’t you look around at other houses as well?
In that way, my family toured all four houses that were nominated as candidates.
However, the remaining houses were at a level where you would have to call a love house or Mr. Baek from the architecture department.
It was fortunate that the canal was bursting.
There was also a blood splatter or something in the closet.
Didn’t the fucking adulterous man play ‘Pirate Roulette’ by her husband while hiding here?
‘Fuck. Were the additional details written in the catalog a problem?’
A rat corpse peeked out from us in the toilet! Live where?
Terrified, I got out of the fourth house. A house infested with rats and insects was not worth looking intently at.
Naturalism should be done in moderation. Military barracks would be better than that.
“How come there are only the first houses that are intact?”
After I wiped my hands, I muttered, and the two wives only nodded like nuns practicing silence. We had become solemn like cultists who witnessed the mysteries of the wild.
“Have you decided?”
When we came out to see the house, the person in charge asked. It would have been seen if our faces seemed to be contemplating over cold water, but it would not have looked like we had made up our minds.
I answered with a sigh.
“It is not easy. The first thing I saw for sale is the best feeling.”
“You did too.”
The staff in charge were convinced as if everything was expected.
But what about ‘yes’? Before I even asked why I thought so, the person in charge explained.
“It’s a pretty open secret, but a house for sale is usually where something bad happened.”
“Yes?”
My wife and I were taken aback by that statement, but thinking about it, it was only natural.
In any world, the most universal legacy that parents can give to their children is house documents. Even in the 21st century, people who don’t even have 100,000 won in their bankbook, but whose house price is over 100 million won, are not often seen.
It is a different world with fewer types of jobs than in the 21st century.
People here were, in the vulgar language, high school students when they left home.
It’s a world where traffic is fucked up because of monsters, so it’s rare to move. If you dream of the American dream, you can be caught in the Aztecan dream and become human jerky.
Therefore, according to Darwin’s geographic selection theory, which has been mentioned for a long time, it is an inductive conclusion that it is difficult to find a house in another world.
“Besides, Lord Hennessis is a very good person, so the people of the territory do not leave their hometowns.”
That was what the staff in charge said.
I had to take it with a grain of salt because it was an expression directed at aristocrats, but I knew very well that the lord here was not a tyrant.
‘In the end, the houses that were put up for sale are the houses of people who have to dispose of their property due to circumstances.’
How could a bunch of people like that afford to manage a house?
Selling a house in another world meant selling the basics of living. A few weeks ago, even for me, it was not a joke because I lived on my entire master’s salary on lodging expenses.
It’s been 3 months since it was put up for sale, but the first house that was in good shape was unusual.
As if I understood, I nodded to the person in charge and consulted with my wives.
“It doesn’t mean that you will die if you don’t save today, so shall we go back to the inn and then come back?”
“Are you okay? If that sale goes out, you will hit the ground and regret it.”
“If it was a house that someone else would buy in one day, I guess you could say it would have been such a fate?”
“But the first house wasn’t bad either. The repairs will be enough, and the house is also made of good stone?”
“Okay. Is it?”
Fran, a half-dwarf, spoke heavy.
It is a Franc with adequate knowledge in architecture. Me and Dana had nothing to say, knowing how to estimate the year the mummy was made, but not being able to explain why the beachhead didn’t collapse.
I said while thinking of the menstruation of stock investors swimming butterfly in the Han River while aiming for a rice cake write-off.
“In my hometown, there is a saying that you shake hands after thinking about it. Since the price is reasonable, would you like to just live in your first house?”
“Yes, then. If it’s that house, you’ll regret it, but it won’t go to the point where you have to find another house.”
With the consent of my wives, I went to the person in charge. The rule that when buying something, the first thing you see is the best seems to be valid in another world as well.
“Would you like to purchase?”
“Yes. It was 2 gold and 45 silver, right? Please withdraw from my bank account.”
“Sure. We will have you move in within a week.”
I signed two contracts and took one.
Fran and Dana said they would split the house price, but that was something my pride as a forager wouldn’t allow.
As you increase the number of wives, you make them share all the economic burden?
How is that different from a pillar book? It would have been nice to say that it was a fucking multi-level pillar book.
‘Fuck. Anyway, I’m glad it ended at the 2nd gold line.’
Even though I was bluffing like that, I was relieved to secretly calculate my bank account balance.
Because it was a rural area, I was able to buy a damn nice house for 200 million.
I absolutely do not regret taking Dana into her family, but she proposed because she had saved up money for her house to live with Franc, so she was a bit close.
‘It’s fortunate that there’s an elixir. If I had to pay something, I’d almost get a red label on my mithril spear.’
My bank account balance dropped by silver units, but my heart was light.
Let’s wait until next spring, sell the elixir, search for the ruins we found on the map, and aim to raise our degree + adventurer rank at once.
***
After purchasing the house, he came to the adventurer’s guild after a long time.
Was it after the last time I came to follow the golem clearing? It was the first time I had a break of more than a week after coming here, but seeing that there was nothing awkward about it, I seemed to have adapted to my adventurer career.
“Aha♡! This is how it feels when the Adventurers Guild is quiet!”
Ralilura, who followed me, was talking with high tension.
Dana went to work on restoring the map, so I visited the guild with Fran and Lalilura.
“Lalilura. How was the circus performance?”
“It’s winter after the harvest season! No one comes to the circus in cold weather. It’s normal to work hard in the fall and rest in the winter, but this time I thought I’d prepare for the winter!”
─Haaa. Laliluna blew on the palm of her hand at her franc’s question. It wasn’t cold yet, so I didn’t breathe.
“I spent a lot of money that I shared with my senior and sister the other day on remodeling Lingling, so I want to raise my adventurer rank to Bronze by the end of the harvest season.”
“And you’re going to hold a show in the fall, count the money left over in the winter, and take requests for the bronze class only when you’re in a hurry?”
“The perfect answer☆!”
When I spoke roughly, it was Lalilura who winked and kneaded.
“I don’t think I’ve seen you perform since you came to Sargadis.”
“Is that it? I didn’t know that either~ When I looked at the performance schedule, I heard that there are limits to the shows I can do alone…”
“Limit?”
“People come to see the informal performances of circus troupes that go viral, but I suddenly thought that I would get tired of watching a bard from a circus troupe… More than anything, originally, all the performances were just training according to the leader’s plan…”
Larry Lura said that her clown ego was a little scratched.
Even a circus with multiple performances, such as animals, fire shows, and puppet shows, could not always operate in the same place.
If it’s not a place with a lot of people’s distribution like a tourist destination, is it that much like Seongsimdang that people in Daejeon think? I will become the feeling of doing it.
I’m not familiar with the industry, so I couldn’t come up with a sharp number.
“But you’re still learning Lalilura, aren’t you? It’s only been a week or two since I left the circus, but I can’t use it if I put myself down already.”
“Oooooh… Sister Fran…”
Fran caressed Lalilura and comforted her.
Even Lalilura was learning the magic combination that I used when I proposed to Fran, and was building up her skills. Perhaps she would be able to utilize that in the show if that was it.
Of course, I feel ashamed every time I see it, so I don’t want to go see it.
Said Larry Lura, rubbing her face against her fran’s chest.
“So you mean? From now on, I want to not perform clumsily, but I want to increase the skills that I can do by myself. I think the captain also made me go alone to do that.”
“It is good to have goals. You can earn money and learn the magic of the wizard guild, or think of a new skill.”
Because in life, everyone has no choice but to set goals and work towards them one by one.
“Yeah! After all, money matters! I went to Romania in the spring, but I don’t want to hear from the other members that nothing has changed♡!”
Lari Lula making her V with her index finger. It was impressive to see her Fran, her mother’s smile, at such Lari Lura.
In any case, as Lari Lura made up her mind to continue her adventurer activities in earnest, a new change occurred in her adventurer life.
“Nord. You are qualified to be promoted to the Silver Class.”
It was when the party members and I took the request to the reception desk.
That the girl with the tired face I had seen when I first joined the Audumla Guild told me some belated news.
