Chapter 104 - A New Home

Tauro started to make a roof with his own hands.

Tauro, with his “precision” and “dexterity compensation”, made the roof out of wood with ease.

"You really are good at this, aren't you?"

Aeris was impressed.

"I have a high dexterity status."

Tauro chuckled.

He finished the roof in no time at all, stretched the floor, and added a proper door to the hole in the wall, making it look as if it had been there all along.

"Now here's where this comes in."

Tauro pulled out a large lump of clay from the magic storage.

"Is that clay?"

Aeris puzzled over the clay, not knowing what it would be used for.

“I'm going to use it to make a toilet bowl with “Creation magic”.

"Benki (toilet)?"

"Yes, I'll make it, you’ll see.”

Tauro took the clay and used “creation magic”.

With a blinding light, the clay changed its shape to form the familiar ceramic toilet bowl from his previous life.

Aeris had no idea what this white ceramic shape was.

"What is this?"

“It's a toilet.”

"Wait, you used “creation magic” on that?”

Aeris was dumbfounded, but when he installed it and explained how to use it, she was delighted.

There are many houses that don’t have toilets In this world.

Many of them dug holes in the woods or bushes outside and used them.

In some places, some people even flush into the river.

So, for women, the existence of sanitary toilets was something to be appreciated.

“But what happens when the excrement accumulates? Is there anyone in this village who can collect it?"

That's an important point.

“Normally, when it accumulates, it is pumped out from the outside, but I can use the magic “Purification”, and if I use “Purification” after use, it’ll return to the soil, so you only need to scrape the soil out once in a while."

"Eh?! Tauro can use “Purification”?”

“Really, that’s what surprises you?"

Tauro was struck by Aeris's reaction, which was different from what he expected.

“Of course I’m surprised, I have the “Priest” skill! “Purification” is a high ranking magic! I can't even use it yet!”

"Well, anyway, I guess that solves the bathroom problem."

Tauro who wanted to get back on track, forced himself to finish and moved on.

When the moved to the garden, he asked Aeris to use earth magic to build a wall next to the well to make an ell-shaped hut.

Tauro added a roof and a door to the wall.

They also built a bathtub there, following Tauro's instructions.

“A bath is a luxury. Besides, it's hard to fill it with water and boil it, so even if you build one, will you be able to use it that much?"

Aeris pointed out pragmatically.

“I'll take care of that.”

With that, Tauro grabbed a gold coin, entered the empty bathtub, and used “creation magic” on its sides.

Then a golden magic circle appeared on the side.

“You can now boil water by simply placing the magic stone in this side pocket.”

Aeris, who had no idea what the hollows she had been instructed to make were, was convinced when she saw this.

“So all I have to do is prepare the water!"

Aeris tried to fill the bath with water using “water magic”.

“That's convenient for you, but for normal people it's common sense to fill it with water from a well, right?”

“Hmm? Well, that's true. Not everyone can use magic. But it's not easy to get water from a well, right?”

“There you go.”

Tauro took out a magic recovery potion from his magic storage and drank it to recover his magic power.

Then, from the magic storage, he produced lumber, iron, and chunks of chrome and nickel that Aeris had never seen before.

Tauro also used “creation magic” to create something intricate out of these materials at the top of the well, with light shining all around.

"What's this?"

Aeris, who had turned away from the glare, stared at the completed object with great interest.

"It's a stainless steel hand pump."

"What kind of hand pump?”

“It's a stainless steel pump. It’s for pumping water. I made it so that we can pump water manually or automatically by inserting a magic stone."

As he staggered, feeling that he had been robbed of all his magic power, Tauro recovered his magic power with a magic power recovery potion.

“Hey, you okay. You don't look good. You need to rest for today."

Aeris noticed that Tauro was not looking well.

“I'm fine. It's just a depletion of magic power. The potions will help me recover, so my complexion should return soon.”

"Oh my God! Don't get used to that. You should be cautious...!"

Aeris was taken aback by Tauro.

But later, when Tauro recovered and showed her the power of the pump, Aeris was happy as usual and appreciated the hand pump.
