(EP-90.2) My Home #1
090 – My Warm Home #1
‘I see...’
As I nodded my head, the real estate agent who was listening to our conversation smiled contentedly while stroking his pointy beard.
“Great choice! Although this is an old building, it’s the perfect starting place for beginners. It even comes with all the luxuries!”
“Luxuries?”
Checking Room 1 on the 2nd floor, there was a single window and a shabby but clean bed with a worn out duvet, as well as an old desk.
... So where exactly were the luxuries?
As I turned my head to see if there was any hidden secret door, the agent said very proudly.
“You have a ceiling, you have a wall. You also have windows. Of course, you got your door as well. Isn’t this everything one will ever need? If you sign the contract now, we can hook you up with the communal water supply and plumbing for just 200,000 coins per month!”
Marmar trembled at those words.
I wondered if the revolutionary Imp Marmar’s anger would explode in rage -.
“Indeed, I like this place!”
... Marmar proceeded to look around this empty space and clapped her hands.
“Then, shall we sign the contract?”
At the agent’s question, I shook my head while muttering.
“Not yet, we’ll need to discuss this a little more.”
“Then I’ll be over there for a bit. Take your time, hehe~.”
As the broker took a break and smoked his pipe in the distance, I asked Marmar, who was checking the bed’s softness.
“Do you really like it here? Wouldn’t it be better to check other places as well?”
“The other places are probably going to be the same anyway! And, I really like it here! There’s no need to look anywhere else!”
Marmar’s attitude was firm.
Then, as if she was already living here, Marmar began to mumble to herself “I’ll put a furnace here. I’ll install a drying rack there.” She seemed excited at the thought of furnishing her home.
This girl reminded me of my old self...
At the age of 20, I left the orphanage and got my own room for the first time. Back then, my heart was pounding with tension and excitement at the thought of facing the world anew.
“Marmar, do you really like it here? Won’t you regret it?”
“I swear on my tail, I won’t regret it!”
“Your tail?”
“An Imp’s tail is like her life! It is the highest level of oath!”
‘Makes sense.’
I was once again reminded of how much Imps valued their tails.
This just showed how amazing the Imp tail wand Marmar gave me was.
“Look, there is a big window on the second floor. There’s even a balcony! Growing flowers on the balcony and looking down at the people passing by would be great!”
