Chapter 335 Homesickness (1/2)
The banquet had ended quietly before it got late at night.
There was no one in the village who would get drunk enough to not be able walk. And so all of them walked back to their houses.
And naturally, golems, holding light, were dispatched to all the important points of the village.
Lishia and Pascaud were invited into guest rooms on the second floor by Jin himself.
“Uwah, so this is how they do it in your country, huh, Mr. Jin?”
Lishia was impressed by the tatamis.
“Mmm! They have this nice smell!”
It seemed like Lishia also liked the soft rush smell.
On the other hand, Pascaud was guided into a room with wooden floor and a bed so he didn’t particularly feel anything but he was surprised by the magi, silk futon.

“Everyone, good work.”
After finally settling down a bit, Jin said to Elsa and Mine, who helped around a lot.
“No, I didn’t help much.”
“Mr. Jin, I am hired to do this, so it’s fine.”
Elsa and Mine said while shaking their head.
On the other hand, Hanna was sleeping peacefully.
“Jin, it would be sad to wake her up like this so could you let her stay here for the night?”
Martha said. Jin also accepted and told Ruby 101 to lay out futons for two people in his room on the 5th floor.
“Understood.”
Ruby 101 answered and went to lay out the futons.
“Ah, right, Belle.”
Jin called to stop Belle as she was returning after cleaning up.
“You two should also stay here from now on.”
Till now, it kind of felt like they were renting a room at Jin’s house which was weird so Jin made rooms for both of them here.
“The rooms are on the second floor. There’s a room for both of you.”
“…Eh? We get a whole room?”
Being considerate of Hanna as she was sleeping, Belle asked in a low, surprised voice.
“Yeah. Ask Butler B about it. Butler B, I leave it to you.”
“Understood.”
“Ah, Barou just came back too.”
And like this, Belle and Barou were lead to the second floor by Butler B.
“…..”
Amongst all that, Jin noticed that Elsa was looking like she had something to say.
“Hmm? Elsa, what happened?”
“…Jin-nii, I want to try staying here once too.”
Elsa loved the combination of futon on a tatami mat. As Jin knew that, he smiled and nodded.
“Yea, that’s fine. Then I will prepare a Japanese-style room for you.”
“No, I will be fine with Hanna.”
“With Hanna… that would be my room, though.”
“Ah.”
Realizing that, Elsa’s cheeks turned red.
“Got it. I will prepare the living room on the 5th floor for Hanna and you.”
“Thanks.”
Having her wish granted, Elsa happily went to tell her mother that she was staying the night.
“Mother, I will be staying here for the night.”
“Yes, yes, alright…. Then Jin, I leave them to you.”
After a simple conversation, Mine also said OK. That’s probably how much she trusts Jin.
“Then let’s go.”
“Mm.”
Jin made Reiko carry Hanna and started climbing the stairs with Elsa.
There are quite a lot of stairs till the 5th floor but Elsa wasn’t tired. On the other hand, Jin got a bit tired.
(It was right of them to install a hidden elevator……)
Although he can’t use it out in public but still Jin had thanked Laojun in his head for installing the emergency elevator inside the center pillar.
“Master Jin. Ms. Elsa will be staying as well?”
