Chapter 10
A small laugh escaped me.
‘A great person? What nonsense.’
I was just farming to make a living.
Even if you called it purification ability, it was only at a very weak level.
‘That’s not what matters right now….’
The important thing was whether my explanation would work on Lisian.
I glanced sideways at Lisian.
He was….
“…?”
W-What?
Confused, I took a step back.
This guy’s eyes are strange…!
‘He was already crazy, but I think he got even crazier!’
“So that was it… That is why you can purify the corruption….”
He muttered as if he was possessed by something.
His appearance was strangely unsettling.
It was almost like a fanatic who had witnessed God’s blessing….
“The holy power I feel from my master is undoubtedly divine power. A blessing granted by God…. And not just any blessing, but one that is unbelievably powerful…”
Could it be that my excuse worked because he was a religious fanatic?
A faithful believer despite being a pervert… It really didn’t suit him….
“My goodness! You are receiving God’s protection! As expected, Master is a very special person~!”
The spirit suddenly interrupted and started spinning around while making a huge fuss.
Ah, so noisy.
I grabbed the water-drop-shaped rice cake spirit and tucked it under my arm.
Meanwhile, the look in Lisian’s eyes became even more filled with madness.
He stared at me in a way that was almost frightening, then spoke with a voice that seemed to boil from deep within his heart.
“Master, you are….”
“…?”
“You really were the person I had been searching for. I am so glad I risked my life and came all the way here… I am truly, unbelievably moved.”
Hey, didn’t you say you lost your memory?
Wasn’t that statement strangely specific just now?
“Just as the spirit said. Master is a special person. Someone who can change the fate of this world… Someone truly extraordinary.”
‘…What is he talking about?’
I’m just a farmer No.1.
I’m only doing this to survive…?
‘Me, who only wanted to farm, became the only purifier in this world?’
I never planned to live such a grand life….
My goal was simply to live happily on my own farm.
I awkwardly smiled, scratched my cheek, and tried to brush it off.
“But my ability isn’t that amazing. I can only purify twice a day….”
“…No, the number of times is not the important part.”
“Uh….”
“The important thing is that someone with the power of purification has appeared. And that person is my master.”
Lisian’s atmosphere became completely serious, as if he had become a different person.
I thought he was just a suspicious pervert No.1, but….
What was his true identity…?
Feeling tense from the strange pressure he gave off, I swallowed dryly.
“Master, please keep your ability a secret if possible.”
“Uh…?”
“Do not tell anyone. I will also keep silent.”
His words surprised me a little.
Because this reaction was completely unexpected.
Lisian… was not only surprised after learning about my ability.
He was worried about me.
He was worried that I might be used by someone because of this power.
Rather than being touched, I was more confused.
And by this point, I was certain.
This guy’s claim that he lost his memory was a complete lie!
“…You can trust me, Master.”
“Hmm….”
“I belong to you, Master… Because you are the only one I have.”
Even if he made that sad expression while saying it, it only made him more suspicious…!
His complete obedience was impossible to accept no matter how much I thought about it.
Something about it left an uncomfortable feeling.
It looked sincere at first glance, but if it was all because of the Beast Taming skill….
‘Sigh, whatever. Thinking about it more won’t change anything.’
Anyway, it was all my own fault.
Even if it was unintentional, I was the one who used supernatural power to tame him.
I let out a deep sigh.
“Fine. Let’s just accept it for now.”
When I gave my answer, Lisian looked at me and smiled brightly.
That smile, like a sunflower that had just bloomed, somehow felt burdensome, so I avoided his gaze.
“Like you said, I will keep my ability as secret as possible. Though I feel like people will find out soon anyway.”
The servants of the Winterberg Duchy might come to investigate.
Then Raul would also find out.
So before that happened, I needed to buy the [Fate Distortion] item.
I did not want to use the power of purification for Raul.
Muriel would have willingly used this power for Raul, but I was not Muriel.
“But what do you mean that I am the person you were searching for?”
To change the topic and also to question the suspicious part, I suddenly asked him.
Lisian hesitated for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.
“If I say it is difficult to explain right now… Would you understand?”
My Slave No.2 also had many things he was hiding.
But since I was also hiding many things from him, let’s call it even.
“Okay. You must have your own reasons. Tell me later if you feel like it.”
“Yes, I definitely will.”
Lisian smiled softly with his pretty eyes.
I cleared my throat awkwardly and avoided his gaze.
“Then should we look around the new house first?”
I walked past Lisian and tried to confidently lead the way.
But before I could even take one step, my eyes were caught by the hamster-patterned roof.
“…….”
Right.
The roof looked like that.
My favorite animal was a hamster, but…
That didn’t mean I wanted to live under a hamster-patterned roof!
‘Hey, System! Can’t you change the roof pattern? Just make it a simple red roof!’
However, the system gave no response.
This guy only became quiet at times like this…!
“Um…. Is the roof pattern your preference, Master?”
“No…!”
“Master~! Nini likes the hamster pattern!”
Of course you do!
“Master, look here. The barn and storage room have also become bigger.”
“Oh, you’re right.”
Anyway, the newly changed house was completely different from the shabby cabin.
Although it was still a wooden house, it looked extremely sturdy.
The exterior was clean and beautiful.
The simple straight-line structure remained the same, but the size had increased, and the barn and storage room on the right side had also become larger.
There was even an outdoor bathroom.
I didn’t know how it was done, but the tiled floor had drainage facilities installed.
‘Having a bathroom is so nice.’
I felt like I could finally live comfortably.
Honestly, after living almost like a primitive person until now, it had been a little inconvenient….
After carefully looking around the bathroom, I checked the barn.
The rabbit was completely fine except for being slightly surprised.
I filled the rabbit’s home with more hay.
‘With this much space, I can raise other animals too.’
What should I raise?
Chicken? Sheep? Goat?
A satisfied smile naturally appeared on my face.
After checking the much larger storage room, I stood in front of the front door.
Finally, it was time to see inside the house.
“I wonder what the inside looks like.”
“Yeah.”
I nodded and grabbed the doorknob.
My heart started beating quickly.
‘To think I achieved my dream of owning a house after being reincarnated.’
Slowly, I opened the door.
The inside scenery I had been waiting for finally came into view.
“…!”
“Oh….”
Lisian, who followed behind me, let out a small exclamation.
Of course he did.
The inside of the newly changed house was truly….
‘The system also does interior design…?!’
It was amazing!
Wood-colored walls, ceiling, and floor.
A checkered carpet covered the floor.
There was even a lighting fixture hanging in the center of the living room ceiling where several lamps could be placed.
Unfortunately, there were no lamps yet, but I could buy them when I went to the village or from the coin shop, so it was not a big problem.
The properly sized windows were also in my favorite arched shape.
‘Did it even reflect my taste? This is really touching….’
System… do you like me?
╭(๑¯д¯๑)╮
What?
You’re telling me not to say nonsense?
Fine.
When I approached the window and looked upward, I saw rails installed for curtains.
If I hung curtains here, it would create a much cozier atmosphere.
Hehe.
Next, I passed through the arched entrance on the left wall of the living room.
This was the kitchen.
The first things I noticed were the appropriately sized cooking counter and storage cabinets attached to the wall.
In the center, there was a two-person dining table with chairs.
‘You said I had to buy furniture, right? You’re giving me furniture for free too.’
In my opinion, the system was kind of like a tsundere.
After leaving the kitchen, I opened the door on the opposite wall and entered.
It seemed like a small room that could be used as a bedroom.
“Hmm, there is only one room….”
And there was no furniture inside.
It meant I had to fill it myself.
Of course, there was no way I would share one bed with Lisian.
‘One of us will probably have to sleep in the living room….’
I returned to the living room and checked if there was enough space.
It seemed fine even if I placed a sofa large enough to sleep on.
First…
Should I check the furniture types sold in the shop?
I made a request to the system in my mind.
‘Let me enter the [Tomorrow’s House] shop.’
Immediately, a shopping mall appeared.
The layout was similar to the [Everything Store] but also different.

There were some strange items mixed in, but the [Tomorrow’s House] shop was a place where I could buy various furniture and interior decorations at incredibly discounted prices!
‘Good. Let’s spend happily.’
My heart beat pleasantly at the thought of shopping as much as I wanted.
