I did it.

　I open the door and say that as I finish decorating, and everyone creeps into the house.

''Haha, the front door is very elaborate. There's even a shelf for your shoes with care.

　Meena rattles open the shoe rack with a voice of admiration.

　It makes a difference in the appearance of the entrance with or without it. The floor of the entrance is also dug in for the dirt and the steps are neatly laid out.

　I'm proudly talking to Meena about it when my dad asks me, "Al, we can't use dirt in here.

"Al, are you allowed to go in here with your feet on the ground?

'Just in case it's slippery enough to walk around in socks without getting dirty?

　I wouldn't say it's up to marble, but you won't get dirt or sand on it after a short walk.

''Well how much magic did you put into it?''

　Mother Erna touches the floor with her hand and makes a disgusted sound.

　As for me, I still want to lie down at home. Even in the mansion, I'm either in slippers or barefoot, and I still want to be barefoot indoors.

''That way you can take your shoes off!

　Sister Elinora, perhaps preferring to take off her shoes, promptly takes them off and goes up the front door.

　Seeing this, everyone who had been checking the floor also took off their shoes one by one and went up.

The first floor has a living room, kitchen, garment room, luggage room, bathroom and changing rooms, and the second floor is a bedroom and an empty room, respectively. Well, the overall structure is similar to the mansion.

　I explain the general layout of the house, but people open the doors and look into the rooms as they please.

　The movement is just like a customer who came to check out a real estate agency.

　Well, it's hard to understand the room layout even if it's explained in words, because the actual impression you get is different too.

　I'm well aware of that, and I walk around without paying any particular attention to it.

　If someone complains about something, I'll do my best to live up to their expectations.

'd*mn!　It's a luggage room and it's bigger than my parents' living room!　It's unreasonable!

　As Meena screams in grief, Mr. Lowe gently taps her on the shoulder and shakes his head.

　Does that head motion mean I should give up?

'I see the kitchen and the living room are attached to each other.

'I didn't cook a big meal, and I made it so you could live comfortably.

　Nowadays, I don't even cook authentic food like in the mansion when I travel. If you want to cook simple meals, it would be more convenient to have the kitchen and living room attached to each other in many ways.

There are chairs, a table and dishes. It's just like being in a mansion.

Of course not, Father Nord. The chairs and couches are hard and the colors are dark. It can't be the same as the house.

　There are a lot of great chairs and sofas over there, the carpets and colors are beautiful, and the decorations are very tasteful.

　If I compare the house I built in a day like this with the mansion, I feel sorry for the mansion.

''........So that way of thinking of Al is the true nature of his bizarre magic power. I think that's good enough for me.

　Father Nord nodded his head in agreement with my words.

　If there's this wonderful thing called magic, it's only natural that you should strive to satisfy your own needs. I'm going to continue to hone my magic for the sake of comfort.

'We need more slime cushions, don't we?　I wonder if there's any slime nearby?

We'll look for him when I go out to look around.

Yeah.

　Mother Erna nodded firmly at my suggestion.

　Mother Erna is tricky to make enemies with, but I like her because she's very agreeable at times like this.

''And I have a suggestion, could we stuff the slime into a larger piece of leather?　I'd like to get a bigger cushion, not pillow size. I think it would feel so good to sleep with it hugged tightly.

'I've been thinking about that too!　But it's tough with just one slime, and adding more than one would be a pain to manage. So if I put in a big slime of a higher species, it might work, but what do you think?

　I ask, and Mother Erna snorts thoughtfully.

''Well I guess so. If it's a big slime, its size is perfect, but I'm more worried about its leather. There are many individuals that are less aggressive and calmer than other demons, but their power itself is stronger.

　As expected of Mother Erna, a former adventurer. She also seems to have a solid knowledge of Big Slime.

''Mmm, in that case, something stronger than the current leather would be good.

　I'm going to have to give the slime cuddle pillow some more thought.

　I'll have to do some more research with Tory.

'Hey Al!　My room is slightly smaller than the rest of the house!

　As I was pondering about the slime hug pillow, Elinora sister came down from the second floor with a thud.

''Oh, that place is inevitably going to be too small because of the decor. Give it up.

Why is my room so small when there's plenty of room to spare?

　No reason. It's just harassment, making fun of my home. Nothing more, nothing less.

'I'm just going to sleep in it, so why worry about it that much?

Why don't you go have a room?

No.

　When I deny it once and for all, sister Elinora looks a bit annoyed.

　Hmmm, this house is made entirely of my earth magic.

　In other words, you could say it's under my control. Whether or not each of us is comfortable is at my discretion.

''There's even a study in addition to the bedroom?

　As I was going through the gaze of the grumpy Elinora sister, Brother Silvio also came down, probably having finished looking at the second floor.

''Yes, you can read to your heart's content.

I couldn't open it because it was just shaped like a book.

'Yes. But if you scrape the surface of the page into the shape of a letter, it would make a book.

How is that even possible?

　I say something that comes to mind and brother Silvio bites into it.

'It's a detailed process, and it's a lot of text, so I'm sure it's going to take some time.

'Just make the first one like a storybook!　I want to read a book I made with earth magic!

'All right. I'll try it when I'm free.

　You've got a slime hug pillow, an earth magic storybook, and some time to kill on the road.

　I like these tasks that don't have a set deadline and can be done when I feel like it. Unlike work, I don't have to be scared of a schedule, so I don't have to worry about the time I have.

　With that in mind, I lie down on the sofa I made with earth magic.

　It's not as soft as the mansion, but it's much easier because there's a slime cushion under my head.

''Well, let's get ready for dinner.

　When I'm all over the place like that, Dad Nord claps his hands with a pan and says.

Do you ever?　And thanks to Al making a home for us, we can afford it, so why are we in such a hurry?

I'd like to take a little break too.

　I raise my voice to agree with Mother Erna's words.

　Even if it's dark anyway, we can still get a light with an unmagical light, and we have light magic tools, so we're fine.

　Even water doesn't need to be fetched because we have magic, and even fire can be started by magic.

　The only thing we should do as soon as possible is to check the surrounding environment and be on guard against demons.

　However, I don't think there are any demons that would approach this group of people without letting them know of our presence.

''That's true too. Well then, let's just take it easy for a while.

　Dad Nord smiled as if he couldn't help it, and then relaxed his shoulders and sat down in the chair next to Mother Erna.

　Then Mother Erna's expression loosens up in happiness.

　For what it's worth, Nord dad is also weak when Erna mom gets involved. If I was the only one to say it, I feel like I would have been kicked out of the room.

'Meena, can you make me a cup of tea?　And bring the cookies I brought with me.

Me too.

Me too.

Me too.

'I understand!　I'll have it ready for you right away!

　Everyone requested tea and cookies, so Meena cheerfully replied and headed to the carriage to get the tea set.

You don't feel like you're traveling at all. I feel like I'm in a mansion.

'I'm sorry for what?　I was looking forward to the field trip.

Okay. It's a great experience and a lot of fun.

　I looked at Brother Silvio, who was sitting next to me and bursting out laughing, and I felt sorry for him.
