The Goddess Granted Me the [Hatching] Skill and Somehow I Became the Strongest Tamer, Commanding Mythical and Divine Beasts - 49

Chapter 49: Big Cleaning

“Well, let’s get started…”

“Yes!”

Pii

……♪

In response to my words, Celia, Feni, and Purple answered.

We were currently inside a mansion located near the center of the royal capital’s Tamer district.

The grass was left unchecked and overgrown, and moss covered the entire building, making it dirty.

About five meters away from the wall, there were tall, narrow trees, more than ten meters high, planted in a way that blocked the view and acted as a screen to prevent anyone from peeking inside the mansion.

The reason I was doing this was because I had bought this mansion.

The other day, I was told by the apartment manager that “the neighbors are complaining because they are scared of monsters, so we want you to leave.” I was forced to quickly find a new place to live, so I visited the Tamer Guild and was introduced to a realtor named Sagin. I looked around at various properties.

Among them, this mansion was in poor condition, but Feni and Purple, who liked it, persuaded me to buy it.

For me, it was cheaper than the other properties, so I wanted to believe it was not a bad choice…

“Celia and Feni will clean the inside of the mansion, and Purple and I will take care of the garden.”

“Understood.”

Pii!

……♪

Both the garden and the mansion were in such a bad state that they were not even close to being livable.

Since I had to move out of the apartment soon, I needed to quickly get things in order.

I started giving quick instructions to everyone.

The mansion I had bought was large, with more than twenty rooms, so it would be a big job.

There were also rooms where large summoned creatures could relax, and a huge bath, so cleaning it properly would take an enormous amount of time and effort.

“Feni will use [Purifying Flame] to quickly clean the rooms, so Celia, could you check if there is any furniture that looks unusable?”

Feni was the original user of [Purifying Flame], the technique I had been using to clean my apartment, and her power and range were far beyond mine.

Like when she cleaned the Tamer Guild’s library before, she would finish purifying the mansion in no time.

“Yes, once I finish that, should I go to the town and order the missing furniture?”

“Thanks, here’s the money.”

I handed Celia a bag of gold coins as she thoughtfully volunteered to help.

After leaving things in her hands, I turned to Purple and started our task.

“Alright, Purple. Let’s get started.”

……!!

When I called out, Purple flapped her wings and moved around, looking eager.

First, we decided to deal with the weeds blocking our view.

These weeds seemed to be the same type that grew in the plains north of the royal capital. They were taller than me, with thick stems, so it would take a lot of strength to pull them out properly.

If we did it by hand, we would never make it to the gate by the end of the day.

“Alright, Purple. I’m counting on you.”

When I spoke to Purple, she angled her wings back, gathered her power, and flapped her wings three times.

……%…! ……%…! ……%…!

Invisible wind blades flew from around Purple, cutting down the weeds and clearing the view.

“Just as I expected from Purple. At this rate, we’ll make it to the gate in no time.”

When we had moved in, we had to think about the delivery of the items, so it was necessary to clear the weeds on the path to the mansion.

When Purple evolved into a Rainbow Butterfly, I learned [Wind Magic (Small)], so I thought she could use more advanced magic. I asked her to try, and the result exceeded my expectations.

……%…! ……%…! ……%…! ……%…! ……%…! ……%…! ……%…! ……%…! ……%…! ……%…! ……%…!

Apparently happy from the praise, Purple flitted around even more energetically, knocking down the weeds.

“Wait, wait! You don’t need to go that far!”

The weeds spread across the entire garden, but right now, it was only necessary to clear the path from the mansion to the gate a little bit.

If we cleared too much, it would take far too long.

I corrected my instructions to Purple, and we continued clearing the weeds.

“Ha, it’s getting a lot cleaner…”

The sky turned red, and the sun began to set.

We had been cleaning the mansion all day, so we were covered in dirt.

“To think we’ve cleaned this much in just half a day. It’s no wonder the kingdom can’t ignore the power of summoned creatures.”

The reason the Tamer Guild gained power was that they could use the exceptional abilities of monsters, which humans couldn’t do. Still, Feni and Purple were too skilled.

“Ha ha, cleaning such a large mansion was tough.”

Celia wiped her sweat off and looked up at the mansion with a sense of accomplishment.

“Good job, Celia.”

I praised her and offered her a cup of water.

“By the way, I was surprised when you suddenly bought a mansion, but looking at how Feni and Purple are acting, it seems like it was a good decision.”

Celia’s gaze was on Feni and Purple, who were playing in the garden.

Watching them move freely like this, I realized how cramped our life in the small apartment had been for them, and I regretted it.

Now that they could move freely in the garden, even if only there, I felt that buying the mansion was the right choice.

“By the way, brother…”

“Hm? What is it, Celia?”

“What should we do about the neighborhood greeting?”

Celia’s question made me think. Since most of the neighbors were nobles or rich people, should we really go greet them casually?

“Things are different from when we moved to this neighborhood, huh?”

“Yeah, I think there are certain customs that nobles follow.”

I remembered when a newlywed couple moved into the neighborhood when I was a child. They treated us kindly and even served us food, which I thought was nice.

I knew it would be wrong to treat this like a regular citizen’s greeting.

“Should I ask one of my friends at school how to handle this?”

Since there were nobles at Celia’s school, she had recently started talking to them normally, so it might be a good idea to have her ask.

“Sounds good. I’ll ask Lebrant or someone like that for advice.”

By gathering information, we should be able to figure out the best way to handle it.

“Well, anyway. Considering the state of the garden, it seems we’ll be focusing on fixing up the house for a while.”

Celia gave a wry smile as she looked at the overgrown garden.

Even after a whole day of work, most of the garden was still untouched. How long would it take to make it livable?

“For now, I guess we’ll focus on fixing up the mansion and… other things.”

For now, I could make enough money by selling materials from Feni and Purple, but I would need another source of income.

“…I’ll have to go out and earn some money soon.”

I started thinking about securing income in the near future.
