Day 91: Communal Living!!
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Seven Night Horses, 13th day.
Weather: Rain
As it was a very rainy day, the bar in the Adventurers Guild was crowded.
Well, it usually was anyway! Huh? Ms. Nico was sitting in a corner.
However, unlike the rest of the place that was cheerful, she had a gloomy air around her.
Worried, I approached her, and then her expression brightened when she saw me.
Work! We’re going to go and work, aren’t we?! She asked as she rushed to me frantically.
…Uh, what was this desperate attitude… I had a bad feeling about it.
In any case, I had her calm down, and then I listened to her while we drank tea. It was just as I expected.
Apparently, she had already used up the twenty silvers I had given her yesterday…
The reason was the same. She had bought ingredients and tools for medicine… My head was starting to hurt.
Thanks to that, I have completed some wonderful medicine! She said. That’s not the problem!
I couldn’t help but raise my voice, and Ms. Nico looked down sadly.
…This was no good… I had to remain calm.
Perhaps there was some other reason for this.
When I asked her, she said that whenever she saw new ingredients, she would get the feeling that she could create something…
Hmm… No, she was hopeless.
Ms. Noa and I sighed with exasperation. Please don’t abandon me! Ms. Nico said tearfully.
According to her, she was thrown out of the last two parties for the same reason.
Even if she knew the reason, she could not hold herself back.
Please, help me… She pleaded.
As I wondered what to do, Ms. Noa seemed to have an idea, and so she whispered into my ear.
…It cannot be helped. While it was a little forceful, we would do it!
And so we went to Ms. Nico’s house and laboratory.
It was a small wooden house on the outskirts of town… No, I must be honest. It was a shack.
She said the Alchemists Guild allowed her to rent it for cheap.
As for the inside… I had braced myself, but it was still shocking.
I could hardly tell what was trash and what was a necessity… Are we really going to clean all of this, Ms. Noa?
I asked with a tense expression, and Ms. Noa smiled… Le-let’s do our best then.
We finally finished cleaning when it was evening…I am so tired.
While there had been so much stuff, everything she actually needed fitted on top of the table…
This house is actually quite big, huh? Said Ms. Nico…
Now, there were still the finishing touches.
While Ms. Nico was looking in a different direction, Ms. Noa quickly moved towards the table.
And then one after another, she moved the tools into her dimension storage.
Before Ms. Nico knew it, everything was gone…
As she looked there, stunned, I made the declaration.
From now on, she will be living with us!
And from now on, she would be forbidden from wasting her money!!
Ms. Nico looked like she could hardly believe her ears.
I asked her if she wanted to change, and she nodded weakly.
Then let’s do this together! We will live seriously!!
And like that, our communal life with Ms. Nico began.
Hah… Managing money is going to be even more troublesome now.
