One month later.
My new home is finally complete.
There are pillars around the original tree, with a small room for living space up high.
The ladder built into the structure is used for going up and down.
Unlike the makeshift wood house I built before, this one is designed to prevent water buildup and has a water-repellent coating.
This should prevent any parts from rotting and the house from collapsing.
I helped by cutting down trees and providing glass panes, so construction went relatively quickly.
They plan to build similar wooden houses for everyone else in the future.
I’ll do my best to help out.
“Nyanko-san, let’s go inside the new wooden house right away!”
“Nyaa (Okay)”
Climbing the ladder, I enter the house with Aurene.
Inside is a single octagonal room covered with a brown carpet made by the elves. There is also a bed.
The scent of wood is very pleasant.
Since it’s not decorated, I’ll put the statue of Hardis-sama from outside in the room later.
“Thanks to the glass, the house is so bright~”
The windows in the houses made by the elves are like shutters that are opened on sunny days and closed on rainy days.
But I found that too much trouble, so I provided glass panes and insisted they make windows.
Hmm, this is definitely better.
“Aurene, Bastet-sama, let’s start the housewarming party now!”
“Graawrh! (Mmm! Great sake!)”
“Stone statue-san, you’re drinking too much!”
Around the house, Sylph baasan and the elves had gathered and started their own drinking party without asking.
Oh well. What a carefree bunch.
Well, for today it’s okay.
Aurene and I decided to leave our room, climb down the ladder, and join the drinking party.
Since I can’t drink, I’ll probably eat some grasshopper skewers.
That’s it! Since we’re here, I’ll make some fried chicken.

Yotsuba POV
“Cough! Cough!”
There is a nasty cold going around lately.
Looks like Nancy-san caught it too.
I’ve been using [Lesser Heal] on her, but it’s not doing much.
Hmm, I should examine the cause of the illness.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Diagnosis Result
Cause: Tuberculosis germ
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Huh? Tuberculosis germ?
…Tuberculosis germ?!
So that means,
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Diagnosis Result
Disease Name: Pulmonary Tuberculosis
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Whaaaaaaaaaat?!
This is bad! Tuberculosis is a scary disease!
If it gets worse, she could seriously die!
I kept casting [Lesser Heal] on Nancy until my MP ran out and I passed out, but it didn’t work.
I need to get medicine from Neko-san…
Yikes…… That disease was usually a death sentence before modern medicine.
