We returned to Volton, and it was already winter when arrived.

「Oooh, it's snowing. Kaede will play!」

I relaxed in our garden and watched Kaede play around in the snow. Our clothes are fine in the cold. Although I can't say the same for visitors, so we put heaters in the mansion. The Adventurers Guild and Papeck Company send people here for orders of the different kinds of potions.

Another thing is that, I used to rent the house, but now I own it. As for the garden, Tsubaki's stable is in the garden

Laeva has started warming up to us and is less reserved, she can now be more frank about the things she wants and talks to us normally. All her money goes to her family, which she sends to them by way of the adventurers guild for a fee.

Sophia says she would serve me until my death. It had been arranged in Sophia and Maria's contract that they would be released if I die. And it seems Maria intends to be spend her whole life close to me too.

Laeva was surprised to hear such opinions from the two.

Thus, that Laeva began practicing alchemy in the workshop.

Seeing me activate alchemy without chants or alchemy formations with her own eyes seems to have motivated her all of a sudden.

However, studying alchemy covers a lot of topics, therefore Laeva comes and goes between the workshop and the library.

Ancient characters and the like are used in trans.m.u.tation formations and magic circles for magic, so Laeva is now at the phase where she examines them while memorizing the dictionary I made for her.

On this occasion, Sophia also began acquiring and learning ancient magic characters and ancient elven language. It seems she wants to try making magic devices.

Also, Maria focused as they worked hard in making underwear, of which included Sophia and Laeva's portions as well. When the underwears that Countess Rockford and her maids ordered were finished by Maria and Kaede and had been sent via the Papeck Company, an excessive remuneration was paid so they hurriedly sent additional underwear.

My a.s.sets just keep increasing, but I wonder, is this alright?

To raise the skill level of my Time-s.p.a.ce attribute magic, I made Magic Bags. Sophia, Maria, Laeva, and Kaede have each already been given Magic Bags for their personal use. Though, they simply look like a regular leather pouches.

I heard from Papeck-san that, the bag, enchanted with Time-s.p.a.ce attribute and bestowed with s.p.a.ce Expansion and Time Suspension, is apparently a magic item that can only be found in ruins and dungeons and that 100 platinum coins is a trivial sum for one piece. So as expected, even Papeck-san didn't say to put the Magic Bag into the market. I was just told to make them as inconspicuous as possible.

Margrave Volton and Papeck-san were sold one shoulder bag-type Magic Bag each.

The Magic Bags are attached with a small magic crystal imbued with Time s.p.a.ce attribute. Thanks to that Time-s.p.a.ce attribute magic crystal, it is possible to put in and take out items larger than the opening of the bag. With the Time-s.p.a.ce attribute magic crystal, even an ordinary person without the apt.i.tude can use it if they charge it with magic power, therefore it can be used by anyone in this world. However, taking security into consideration, I added Magic Power Authentication as a mechanism so people other than the ones registered can't use it.
