So small translation note here.

Regarding the name of the girls’ guild at first I thought about using other synonyms of the name but after some consideration, I decided to go with something containing the word “bird” so that at first glance anyone could tell the names between both guilds were similar as it is the case when you see the original names side by side.

Nothing else to point out.

We left the stable and started walking around town, the three of them were walking around and looking at how bustling the Royal Capital was with admiration.

「Let’s decide on where we want our home right away! Sightseeing can be left for later!」(Lycoris)

「Hind-senpai, where is Migratory Bird’s home?」(Cineraria)

However, that didn’t go on for long, and now they were both asking us where our home was while breathing heavily,

Migratory Bird’s home was in a neighborhood found if you descended a bit from the royal palace…it was in an high-end residential area where people like nobles would reside.

But nobles didn’t exist in Waaha, merchants were the ones that made their residences in this area.

I’m not sure what their budget looks like considering they weren’t able to buy camels.

However, since they said it would be nice to get one close to ours, I had no objections in guiding them to ours for the time being.

「Sure, I’ll guide you there now.」(Hind)

「Follow us!」(Yumir)

We skipped the market and came out of the residential area for the common people, which had decent public security, then ascended up the gentle slope that led to the royal palace.

While walking in the opposite direction of the water from the irrigation channels…we arrived at a residence that would be accurate to call it a Mansion.

「This is our home!」(Yumir)

「Please, that’s a good joke!」(Lycoris)

「Even if senpai and the rest are amazing, this would have to be a lie right?」(Cineraria)

「…Lyco, Sai. Both senpais don’t look as if they are joking around. On top of  the entrance, Home of the guild Migratory Bird is displayed too…」(Siesta)

「「…」」(Lycoris and Cineraria)

Lycoris-chan and Cineraria-chan were petrified.

「…I see, so you beat that giant snake…」 (Lycoris)

「Lyco, it’s called Basilisk.」(Cineraria)

「…So you exterminated this Basilisk and gained permission to buy a house in this area? And they even made it cheaper for you?」(Lycoris)

I explained in detail how we managed to buy this house and they both seemed to finally understand.

Since the majority of the guilds use an apartment type house right now, I believe that it can’t be helped that they were shocked at seeing this single house.

「That’s the case. Even when we used all the money we got from exterminating that Basilisk, it was barely enough. If you bought it normally, it would be tens of millions of G at the lowest and worst case scenario maybe even hundreds of millions?」(Hind)

「Hundreds…looking at how much the average player would have right now, that seems so far away. Just by thinking about it I’m getting sleepy…」(Siesta)

「No doubt about it. There are a lot of players that even struggle to buy a horse that costs a few millions. We were just lucky.」(Hind)

We could say this is something like a privilege for being the first ones to reach the capital.

We haven’t heard about another Basilisk appearing after that.

「However, wouldn’t that make it hard for us to get a house around here?」(Lycoris)

「We have the money we got for betting on Yumir-senpai and Hind-senpai but…」(Cineraria)

「Ah, you placed a bet on us? Thanks.」(Hind)

「Muh? Didn’t you say that you didn’t have enough money to buy a camel a while ago?」(Yumir)

「We meant that we didn’t have money to spend on camels. We bet everything we owned which amounted to 200k, that gave us 10 million…if you didn’t invite us, we were planning on coming to Waaha on foot. Obviously, I was against it.」(Cineraria)

Walking…if they spent the entire weekend they might have got here, but it was pretty reckless.

Right now, apart from the beginners, it seems like everyone has a donkey at the very least.

「10 million huh…with the exception of this area, I believe it would be enough to buy a house in a residential area.」(Hind)

「Given the occasion, we would prefer if it was close by but…would that be impossible?」(Lycoris)

Seeing Lycoris-chan’s dejected expression, my chest hurt.

On top of that, Yumir came with a follow up attack.

「Hind, can’t you do something about it?」(Yumir)

Even if you tell me to do something…I get that you want to show off in front of your juniors but…isn’t this too unreasonable?

Lending money to these children won’t work in their favour, but we can’t just abandon them after coming this far either.

I’ve also been wondering this for a while but…why are they asking me?

「Hind-senpai…」(Cineraria)

「Senpai…senpai’s troubled expression, I love it. Mufufu.」(Siesta)

All these people…especially what Siesta-chan said at the end, you’d better remember this.

Enjoying the situation when someone else is in a difficult situation.

「…Oh geez, I get it, I get it! Yumir, in that case, I’m heading to the royal palace.

Take those three and lead them inside Migratory Bird’s home.」(Hind)

「The royal palace…? Ooh, there was that! Understood!」(Yumir)

「What are you going to do by going to the royal palace?」(Lycoris)

I replied to Lycoris-chan, who was tilting her head.

「I’m going to use the additional reward from the tournament that I haven’t used yet.」(Hind)

「…?」(Lycoris)

We have various places in mind, so there probably won’t be any issues.

Leaving those four behind, I exercised a certain special privilege I had and ascended towards the royal palace.

“As promised, let’s proceed with the reward for winning the tournament”…this was something the Queen said to us two days before we logged in again.

She told us that she was in a good mood and we could ask for anything, but since Yumir and I couldn’t think of anything we put it on hold.

The queen made a face as if she had found our reply to be incredibly boring but since it was right after we won, it didn’t put her in a bad mood.

In that case, you can ask whenever you need something, those unexpectedly tolerant words came from her.

With that being the case…

「These are properties owned by the royal family, I got a list of properties they said it would be fine to buy for a cheap price.」(Hind)

I announced the results of my negotiations in the royal palace to the girls, who were resting in the guild home’s lounge.

Tobi, Riizu and Selene-san had been talking to them here until a while ago, but they had now returned to their work.

「Thank you very much! We are really thankful! Hind-senpai, you are amazing!」(Lycoris)

「But is it really OK? To use your reward for winning the tournament on people like us…」(Cineraria)

Contrary to Lycoris-chan, who was innocently jumping from joy, Cineraria-chan felt apologetic.

However, we feel that this sort of consideration is unneeded.

「I mean…right, Yumir?」(Hind)

「Umu. We already got a reward from the emperor and also those amazing horses, furthermore, we also got a large amount of money from placing a bet on ourselves.

「We got so many things so suddenly that we honestly don’t know what we should ask for. Besides, that queen has that sort of personality, right?」(Yumir)

「Even if she said anything, her mood would have turned sour if we were to ask for something excessive, we were actually quite troubled by it. Since it seems like this request is fine, don’t think about it and choose one from this list.」(Hind)

The three of them looked at our conversation with admiration and let out an 「I see」.

But that queen is seriously annoying.

If you wished for something carelessly, your likability would definitely visibly decrease.

That being the case, once I asked for the same reward as that time with the Basilisk, she immediately gave the OK.

This is a matter we were having trouble with within the guild, and I believe that it would be quite a waste to not do anything with it, so I believe this is a great opportunity to make use of it.

「However, if you are going to go that far, why not make it fre-」(Siesta)

「Hey, Si! That’s rude! What are you even saying!?」(Cineraria)

「That’s right, Si-chan！These terms are already exceptional, even someone like me can tell!」(Lycoris)

Seeing Siesta-chan try to take advantage of the situation, Yumir and I smiled wryly.

Being free would be something incredible, but since this is a game, I wonder if that wouldn’t give much sense of accomplishment?

That being said, we went through the candidates for a guild home while the girls were looking at the list.

「First off, this is the one closest to our home.」(Hind)

「…? Isn’t this part of Migratory Bird’s home?」(Cineraria)

「No, while they look similar based on their outward appearance, they are actually not.

「Formerly, this seems to have been a secondary residence of the previous owner. So, since the owner is gone, the purchase of the plot is being done separately. That’s why this place is vacant right now.」(Hind)

「Is that so!? I didn’t know…」(Yumir)

「Hey.」(Hind)

I wonder what Yumir thought this building was.

Cineraria-chan nodded in understanding of my words.

「Now that you mention it, that would make that one the main building right? This one looks quite compact.」(Siesta)

「I see. However, if we chose this one, wouldn’t it make us match with Migratory Bird? It’s quite smaller if we compare them, but if we looked at it by itself, it’s more than big enough.」(Cineraria)

It would make us match, I felt as if those simple words made Lycoris-chan react once they got through her ears.

Following that, her eyes started to sparkle.

Ah, don’t tell me this…

「Let’s settle on this one! Sai-chan, Si-chan! I think this one is good!」(Lycoris)

「Eh…? If you are fine with it, I don’t really mind but…」(Cineraria)

「Are you really fine with this one? It’s true that it has all the necessary facilities, but there are bigger buildings or buildings with spacious gardens…」(Hind)

「This one is fine!」(Lycoris)

「Umu, it’s important to follow your instincts, Lycoris! Once you have set on an objective, you just have to run towards it!」(Yumir)

「Yes! Yumir-san!」(Lycoris)

These two…oh well, who cares.

Being pressured by Lycoris-chan’s vigor, it seems like we will settle on this one without looking at the other properties.

Cineraria-chan approved with excitement and when it came to Siesta-chan…

「This is the closest one right, senpai?」(Siesta)

「Yup, this one is the only one that takes less than 30 seconds to get to ours. Though that was obvious.」(Hind)

「Then I’m fine with this one too. If we were too far, it would be too tiresome whenever I felt like going there to play.」(Siesta)

Like this, we easily decided on the first property we visited.

The cost of it was 9 million with the big discount we got.

Then, they discussed what their guild name would be and decided on a similar one to Migratory Bird, 『Baby Bird』.

With that name, wouldn’t it feel as if it was quite the downgrade compared to ours? Is what I thought, but since they looked satisfied with it, I didn’t say anything.

Like this, 『Migratory Bird』and the newly formed 『Baby Bird』 became sister guilds and entered an alliance with each other.
