The renovation of the mansion was complete, and the day to move in had arrived.
The reason for the move was that the butler and maids had already been dispatched and were ready.
I had already informed Sylvia to wait at the new mansion for today's arrival.
Cain organized his belongings. Since everything was stored in the item box, he was traveling light.
When he stepped outside, Garm was waiting.
"This is my gift to you, take it well."
Sebastian brought out a carriage pulled by two horses from behind. It wasn't flashy, but it was solidly built.
"Father, thank you. I will take good care of it."
He bowed in gratitude.
"Cain, you never notice such things. The last time, you walked back from the royal castle."
Ordinary nobles don't walk back from the royal castle.
Because he wanted to take a walk.
When he peeked inside the carriage, he saw that it was set up for about six people to sit facing each other. Father's carriage was a large one that could seat ten, but this size was just right. Cain climbed into the new carriage.
Two carriages headed for Cain's mansion.
It took about twenty minutes by carriage from Garm's mansion to Cain's mansion.
They passed through the gate and stopped in front of the main entrance.
In front of the entrance, the butler and several maids were lined up waiting. The head maid was Sylvia.
Sylvia was only eighteen, but she had taken care of Cain for five years since he was born.
The new maids were mostly a bit younger than Sylvia.
Incidentally, the butler was also young, probably in his early twenties.
The butler came forward to greet them.
"Lord Garm, Baron Cain, I have been waiting for you. My name is Colan, and I am Sebastian's nephew. I applied for the position of butler for Baron Cain after hearing about the public recruitment. I have heard from Sebastian about Baron Cain's exceptional talent. I look forward to working with you."
He bowed.
When Cain looked at Sebastian's face, he winked at him.
Sebastian seemed to know. It was reassuring to have a relative of Sebastian. Sylvia was also there.
The people Cain decided to hire for the mansion were: the butler Colan, the head maid Sylvia, three other maids, a head chef, a kitchen assistant, and a stable hand and gardener.
Cain was worried if it was okay to hire seven people at once, but apparently, the total monthly salary for all seven would only be one gold coin. He still had the platinum coins from the king, so it should be fine for a while. He also expected to earn from the sales of Reversi soon.
Everyone entered the mansion.
"The exterior was impressive, but the inside is as good as new. Is it really okay to get such a new mansion?"
Sara asked.
"I remember coming to the viscount's residence, but it wasn't this clean."
Garm added.
"We also planned to clean it, but when we arrived, it was spotless."
Sylvia replied.
"Oh, I cleaned it with magic when I came the other day! I also repaired it with magic, which made it this clean."
Garm and Sara were amazed.
"I had forgotten that Cain is exceptional."
Cain showed his family around the house. Everything looked brand new. There was nothing to complain about.
"Cain is only five, so he doesn't understand decorations. Well, it's fine."
Indeed, there were no decorations in the house.
"What kind of decorations do you like? I don't really understand paintings or vases."
"Hmm, adventurers sometimes decorate with large monster trophies."
"Monsters are fine! I'll decorate the entrance with one. I can make a trophy with magic right away."
Saying that, Cain left the group and went to the hall to look through his item box for a suitable monster. The entrance hall had a two-story ceiling, so it was quite high.
He found a good one. The entrance hall was high enough to make an impact.
He took out a red dragon with its head severed. It wasn't a land dragon or a flying dragon.
When it stretched its neck, the body was about eight meters tall.
He had fought it in the depths of the monster forest.
He placed the dragon's corpse in the center and began to shape his magic.
'Creation'
Light enveloped the dragon.
When the light faded, a lifelike red dragon stood there, of course, it wasn't alive, just a trophy.
"This pose is good, the head is well connected, and it looks better than any decoration."
At that moment, Cain didn't realize that his standards for dragons were from his previous life. He thought dragons were cool, but that didn't align with the world's values.
In this world, dragons are symbols of terror.
When they appear in a city, they spread flames, and a small village can be wiped out in a day. They are disaster-level monsters. The trophy he made was classified as SS-rank in the adventurer's guild.
Of course, Cain, who wasn't registered in the adventurer's guild, had no idea about this.
He returned to Garm and the others.
"I decorated the central hall with a monster trophy. There are few decorations, but is it okay?"
"Hmm, I see. I'll check it out later."
As they continued to show them around the second-floor study, a scream echoed.
"「Aaaaaaaaah!!!」"
Cain and Garm braced themselves at the sound.
"The scream came from the lobby. I'll go first."
Saying that, he took a sword from his item box.
Looking down from the stairs, he saw the maids who had fainted in the central hall.
In front of them was the dragon trophy he had just made.
"Oh, I forgot to explain."
Cain was sweating coldly.
"Cain, what trophy did you place?"
Garm asked with a cold stare.
"...A dragon..."
He answered with a guilty look.
Garm sighed, unable to say anything.
"Let's gather everyone. We need to explain, or this will happen again."
Garm suggested, and Cain agreed.
In the hall, Garm's family and the staff had gathered.
"I'm sorry, I placed it without saying anything."
He pointed to the dragon trophy in the center of the hall.
"Cain, what did you do to this dragon?"
A cold voice came from Garm.
"I secretly went to the monster forest and defeated it alone..."
"「「「「「「...」」」」」」
The family and staff were speechless.
It was unbelievable that he had defeated a dragon, let alone a five-year-old doing it alone.
"Let's talk about this later."
"...Yes."
Cain responded weakly to Garm's words.
"Still, a red dragon. This class is at least SS-rank. Selling this trophy alone would fetch at least a hundred platinum coins. It's better than any decoration. Cain, you plan to register as an adventurer when you turn ten, right?"
A hundred platinum coins... that's like ten billion yen! Amazing!
"A hundred platinum coins... I didn't realize it was that valuable. I plan to register as an adventurer before entering the academy when I turn ten."
He couldn't say he wanted to sell the stored monsters.
"I see, don't overdo it."
As they were talking, another scream came from inside.
This time, it was Sara.
"What happened this time?"
Garm and Cain headed toward the source of the sound.
It was the bathroom.
Sara came out looking refreshed.
She was delighted to see Cain.
"Cain-kun!!! What's with that bathroom!!! It's amazing. It cleans with water and dries too. Install it in our house too!!"
Ah, that. He had used his knowledge from his previous life to create the bathroom.
Of course, it was a bidet toilet.
In this world, they had water-flush toilets, but they weren't very good, so he made one.
He set the control panel on the right side of the seat, and when touched, water would come out from the internal magic stone.
The magic power was automatically absorbed from the user when they sat down.
"Sure, I'll install it in your house too. Is that okay, Father?"
"Sure, go ahead. I want to try it too."
Garm also went into the bathroom.
From inside, a "Uhooh" sound could be heard.
After a while, Garm came out, looking a bit embarrassed.
"I want this installed immediately. Not just in the capital, but in the Gracia territory as well. Do you plan to sell it?"
"I plan to sell it eventually. But I'll install it for the family first."
"Good, that's a help."
"Still, Cain-kun really does things that are out of the ordinary."
Sara. She was generally very tolerant of her son, which was a great help.
That's enough for the tour. The family was leaving, but Cain was moving in today.
As they were leaving, Garm said casually.
"Nobles who build new mansions in the capital need to host a debut party. You should do it soon."
