Chapter 3 - 16 My Home My Life – With Renge

In the end, I decided to keep my promise to Shiro last night and sleep with Shiro and Wendy.
The reason was that the house only had three beds, so there was no bed for Aina, Solte, and Renge to sleep in.

Well, the three of them could have returned to the inn where they were originally staying, but when we got out of the bath, I found Solte asleep on the sofa, so I decided to let them stay the night.
But considering there are six of us from now on, I will have to buy new beds....
Three people can sleep in my bed, but to be honest, I'd rather not have to worry about the night activity.

Nothing happened yesterday, but it's not like there won't be any in the future.
It's kind of like a slow life in another world becoming into erotic life in another world, I guess.

...... Well then, I still need earn more money and I'll have to work even though it's early in the morning.
Let's try hard to be able to get relax after lunch.

I walked out into the living room, leaving Shiro and Wendy still asleep, and there was another child who was awake early in the morning.

“Huh?　Master, you're up early” (Renge)
“You too. You can go back to sleep” (Itsuki)

Renge speaks to me while lying down on the sofa, and she raises her body to make room for me to sit.
When I sat down on the vacant sofa, Renge's expression turned serious in some way.

“Um, Master. Again, thank you very much” (Renge)
“Hmm?　You mean the way you got washed up in the bath yesterday?　I also have a good time with you. I'd appreciate it if you could do it for me next time” (Itsuki)
“Not that one!　No, it's not that I don't want you to do it again” (Renge)
“Huh. You want to put my face between your thighs that badly” (Itsuki)
“I wonder why master is such this disappointment......” (Renge)

That's rude.
I think of myself as a pervert, but I don't think it's a disappointment.
Oh, I'm sorry I lied. I might be a disappointment.

“That's not the case anymore. It's about saving me” (Renge)
“Oh, well, yeah. Don't worry about it” (Itsuki)
“Even though that's been said, I'm actually really grateful for it” (Renge)
“I'm grateful for that. I mean, I got to see great things from it” (Itsuki)
“So....... Huh. That's enough. By the way, why did Master wake up so early?” (Renge)
“Nope. I was thinking, I don't have enough beds, so I thought I'd do some work for that” (Itsuki)
“Work?　Master is an alchemist, isn't it?　Do you really make that much money?” (Renge)
“Well, in its own way?” (Itsuki)

I don't even know what a typical income is like.
But this is a pretty profitable business, I guess?
It's pretty easy to get gold coins and stuff like that.

“Oh, and I'm a drifter” (Itsuki)
“Is that so?　I've heard that a drifter has a special skill, but does Master have one too?” (Renge)
“I do. Wanna take a look?” (Itsuki)
“Isn't that dangerous?” (Renge)
“No, not at all. <Pocket money>” (Itsuki)

『Pocket Skill has been reach to level 3』

Oh.
Multiple golden coins slowly descend on my palm.
So, it's finally level 3.
It used to be one gold coin, now it's one, two, three, four, five coins.
I can now get five gold coins!
That means 500,000 Nord a day!

“What kind of skill is that!　Gold coins have been dropped!” (Renge)
“Heh, that's fine” (Itsuki)
“I'm so envious!　Tell me how that works for me too!” (Renge)
“Well, it's a unique skill, so I don't think it's possible” (Itsuki)
“Eh, I want it” (Renge)
“Well, if it's from me, I'll give you an allowance and you can use the money to go shopping” (Itsuki)
“Oh, am I getting allowance?　I'm a crime slave, you know?” (Renge)
“Hmm?　Don't criminal slaves get paid?” (Itsuki)
“I can't have it......... I thought last night's meal was the last luxury dinner, and I ate a lot of it through.......” (Renge)

Ehh......
Maybe that's why the three of you were eating until all three of you get full?
Come to think of it, I've heard from Yashisu that crime slaves are often bought with the assumption that they will become prostitutes or be used up.

“Well, I'll treat you as a slave, but don't worry, I'm not going to treat you as a criminal slave” (Itsuki)
“But that doesn't settle matters” (Renge)
“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. I'm supposed to force you to constantly shake your ass and look at me in a flirtatious manner?” (Itsuki)
“I didn't say that much!” (Renge)
“I'd doubt myself, too, if I went that far” (Itsuki)

That makes me a fiendish pervert.
I'm a gentleman pervert. Please don't get me wrong.

“Well, that's fine. I don't care what I do with it, if that's the crime slave, it's my decision.　It's my choice if I let you eat a meal or send you on an adventure. As long as you don't harm us and don't bring any unnecessary trouble to us, that's fine with me” (Itsuki)
“Can I still go on the adventure?” (Renge)
“A guild can't make you leave if you become a criminal slave, right?　Then I will have you gather materials and keep you going adventure” (Itsuki)
“Well...... Is that going to be any different from what I've been doing?　It's just that I have a house, food, and a better life than usual......” (Renge)
“Well, I'll make you work harder for it. And as you know, I'm a big fan of erotic things!” (Itsuki)

Am I the worst person in the world for asking payment in exchange for erotic things?
It's like saying to a shoplifting girl, 'You know what I mean?" from a store manager.
Well, if I think about it, I'm the worst, don't I?

“Haha, I learned that a lot yesterday. But, well, you've already seen it all!　I can't imagine anyone else at this point, so I'll just give up and prepare myself” (Renge)

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

“Now, without further ado, come with me to the alchemy room” (Itsuki)
“Eh.......... All of a sudden” (Renge)
“It's fine so come with me” (Itsuki)
“I can tell by the look on Master's face what you're thinking!　Your face is so naughty and scary!” (Renge)

It's no big deal.
I just hope you can help me get comfortable working in the morning when I'm sleepy.
Thus, we've come to the alchemy room.
Close the lock from the inside.

“Why do you lock the door?” (Renge)
“It's fine so don't mind about it” (Itsuki)
“I'm very nervous about this... Also, it's my first time.......” (Renge)
“For now, sit on the sofa” (Itsuki)

Put the tools I will use today out once on the desk.

“Eh, you're going to use a tool!?” (Renge)
“Well, I can't do without it” (Itsuki)
“If possible, I'd like to be gentle and normal......” (Renge)
“This one and that one ......, and I guess I need this one too. Hmmm ... yeah, let's try that one too” (Itsuki)
“Ugh...... I didn't hear that. I would have preferred a bed the first time if I could........” (Renge)
“Then let's get started” (Itsuki)
“Tsu...... I will leave in your care” (Renge)

I let Renge sit on the edge and put my head on her thighs.
Oh. These lap pillows are the best!　This is awesome!

“Eh......?” (Renge)
“Hm?” (Itsuki)
“Um, well, I wonder what this is” (Renge)
“A lap pillows?” (Itsuki)
“Huh, well, eh?　Is this all you want?” (Renge)
“Oh, yeah” (Itsuki)
“Ahhhhh......... I feel like an idiot for being so nervous.........” (Renge)


I wonder what on earth she was imagining.
I just wanted to do some alchemy work while getting a lap pillow.
Normally Shiro would be on my lap, but today she's still sleeping.
Lately, I've been feeling the weight of Shiro as I work, and it's calming.
Maybe it's the contact with people that makes me feel safe.
And Shiro doesn't even get in the way, she just gets on my lap and dangles her legs and hangs on more while looking at me.

“Hmm?　Did you expect me to do something erotic?” (Itsuki)
“Well, Master had the same eyes as you do when he gets horny” (Renge)
“I see...... Then I'll live up to your expectations and take off my bottom” (Itsuki)
“Oh, it's fine!　Look, Master needs to concentrate on alchemy” (Renge)

I don't like dogs with a good sense of humor.
I was going to enjoy my dream of a lower body naked knee pillow.
But it's definitely not going to be able to focus on alchemy, which is the main problem.
Well, Renge is still in short pants so it is still a raw thigh knee pillow.

“And then, what are you going to make?” (Renge)
“Hmmm. Well, let's just wait and see when it's done” (Itsuki)
“It's the first time I've seen someone doing an alchemy, so I'm looking forward to it” (Renge)

That being said, there's not much to see now because basically I am activating <multi-copy> using the Magic Space.
However, I was going to do the manual forming today as it is, since the base accessory has to be done by <Handling>.

I'm already getting used to the manual forming.
Gold and silver ores that Aina and Solte brought back for me were turned into ingots, and I stretched them as they were and combined them into bracelets.
The jewels were inlaid into it and further worked with gold and silver, and then it was done.

『 Ruby bracelet with gold and silver - Poison Resistance (Medium), Magic Resistance (Medium), Strength rise medium』

Well, this is what it is.
I haven't done a very elaborate design these days because it's easy to produce good performance stuff like this.
Still, it's probably because of the high level of materials and alchemy that it has a reasonable amount of effect.

“Ha. It done as a flash” (Renge)
“Well, I'm used to it. Here, take it. This is a gift for Renge” (Itsuki)

With that, I handed the newly made bracelet to Renge.

“Eh, are you sure?　You used some very expensive materials” (Renge)

Well, if I want to sell it, 800,000 Nord is hard to make a deal.

“Well, the other people have my accessories, and Renge is the only one who doesn't” (Itsuki)
“Oh. Well since you made it for me, I'm going to take it!” (Renge)

Renge immediately looks happy and puts her hand through the bracelet.
I wonder what to say of any woman who receives any kind of ornaments feel happy to receive them.

“Do I look good in these expensive looking things?” (Renge)
“Hmm, it looks good on you” (Itsuki)
“Eh-hee. It's a bit embarrassing” (Renge)
“Well, I'm glad to hear you're happy” (Itsuki)

It also increases your abilities.
As long as the three of them are in charge of collecting materials, the only thing I can do is make sure they come back safely with this kind of backup.
This is as easy as to make.

Well, I guess I'll resume alchemy then.
I think I'm going to get scold if I don't go wholesale to Reinrich's place every once in a while.
It seems like a shame that I don't have an assistant to sell it for me myself, but I wonder how to get the store to open it.
No, but if I open a store, my slow life will be even farther away.
Then I can keep going this way.
There are quite a lot of places that will buy it.
And all I have to do is make up the numbers.

“uh-huh-huh-huh” (Itsuki)
“You're in a good mood, Master” (Renge)
“Because pillow is so good” (Itsuki)
“Fufu. So, you will continue to do this?” (Renge)
“That's great too, but....” (Itsuki)

I look toward the locked door.

“Master-sama?　Are you in here, Master-sama?　Why did you lock the door?” (Wendy)
“Lord, if you're here, open it. What are you doing with that Renge” (Shiro)
“Hey!　You're not putting your hand on Renge, right!” (Solte)
“Hey, everyone. Even for Lord, this early in the morning.... No, but” (Aina)

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

“Eh, don't you have to open it?” (Renge)
“I'm not done alchemy yet. I'll just keep it up until I make two more” (Itsuki)
“Heh. I don't know what will happen?” (Renge)
“Get scold together with me” (Itsuki)
“Hmm. Well, I guess so. I don't want to be disturbed right now, so I'll get scold together with Master” (Renge)

The knocking on the door continued, but we continued to make accessories while the two of us chatted idly.
When Shiro and Solte tried to break down the door, I got angry at them, but after opening the door, I was scold by Wendy of giving her a silent stare, and Renge was forced to sit upright in front of Shiro and Solte.
Still, I think today's alchemy was a fulfilling experience.
