Chapter 169: At the Marquise’s Residence

The residence of the Marquis de Vandyne in the royal capital.

Even looking at it again, the size of the house, the area of its grounds, and the grandeur of the house were amazing, even though it was not their main residence their residence in the capital.

Aeris led me directly to a room in the mansion, but it was so spacious that I felt extremely uncomfortable.

“It’s right by my room, so if you need anything, you can come directly to me.”

Aeris seemed to be busy in her own way, and Mei, the head maid who was waiting for her, spoke to Aeris with a document, and Tauro watched her go back to her room while she received it.

Tauro took only a change of clothes and daily necessities out of the magic storage and spread them out on the large bed desk.

“How can I use this large space, except around the bed ……?”

Tauro, who was not accustomed to large rooms in his previous life or in his current world, was not used to having this large space.

Late that night,

A knock sounded at the door of Tauro’s room.

“Yes?”

Tauro, who was still awake and unable to sleep in his luxurious bed, answered.

“Can I come in?”

Aeris’s voice said.

“Yes, come in.”

Tauro answered, and Aeris came in.

“I need to talk to you, is that okay?”

“Well, have a seat.”

Tauro, who would be using the chair and table in the space other than the bed area for the first time today, did not mention it, but encouraged Aeris to sit down and took a seat across from her.

“……Are you used to this room?”

Aeris asked, not quite on topic.

“I still haven’t gotten used to it. It’s too big for me and I don’t feel comfortable. Haha.”

Tauro tried to laugh in an attempt to lighten the mood, but it was unsuccessful.

“…… what will you do after this?”

“Hmmm, let’s see. I guess I’m meeting with Mardai-san of the Garfish Trading Company to continue our business meeting and discuss product development. After that, my current plan is to go to the dungeon with you.”

“…… Then what after that?”

“After that? If I don’t make plans, I’ll go back to the village of Dansas and…”

“Please stay here, Tauro!”

Aeris asked, interrupting Tauro.

“…… Aeris.”

“I want to go back to the village of Dansas too, but I can’t go because if I go now, this House of Vandyne will be gone. I’ve talked to the royal family who have become my guardians, but they say that’s not possible… Tauro please, will you stay in King’s Landing and continue as an adventurer here? Then I can stay with you, and I think we can invite Shin and Rumeya over here too!”

“I can’t answer …… right away, but for now, I’ll send a letter to Shin and Rumeya. Can we talk about it then?”

“That’s right …… I’m sorry for getting ahead of myself.  You should talk to Shin and Rumeya properly.”

“I see. But I can tell you now that the four of us, me, Aeris, Shin and Rumeya, are still the ‘Black Golden Wings’ that won’t change.”

“Thank you, Tauro!”

Aeris began to shed tears as she said this.

It was as if the emotions she had been holding back were overflowing.

Tauro went to Aeris’ side and hugged her, patting her gently on the back to calm her down.

The next day, Tauro decided to change the bathrooms and toilets at the Marquis de Vandyne’s house to the specifications of his home in the village of Dansas during the free time he had on his schedule.

Aeris asked him to do it.

The toilet bowl was created and installed with creation magic.

Tauro decided to add a new sewage treatment system to the toilet.

It was simply a stone slab processed with slime’s bodily fluids on which a magic circle was drawn and placed at the bottom of the sewage tank, and when feces and urine fell on it, it dissolved over time.

The magic circle was designed to harness the power of the slime’s bodily fluids and digestion.

The digestive power is not so strong so it can only dissolve feces and urine, but it saves time and effort in fetching it out.

It would also be more hygienic.

Of course, the work is done after purification, so I won’t say it’s dirty.

The bath was easy.

The bathtub was a magnificent one that was custom-made for a nobleman, so I just had to draw a magic circle on the surface with creation magic to boil the water using gold coins as the material.

Then, when it was time to boil the water, you just had to put in the scraps of magic stone and you’re good to go.

Now Aeris should be able to take a bath with the same convenience as in the village of Dansas.

But, however, …….

“This mansion has half a dozen toilets and baths!”

It was then Tauro thought he would not be able to relax while he was in this mansion.
