After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

As the key was inserted and turned, the door slowly opened with a crisp click.

"……ha?"

The scene on the other side made Aize's eyes widen.

The interior of the mansion, which is in line with the style of the sword and magic world, is actually filled with a completely different and quite modern style of decoration.

The candlesticks and lamp stands are gone, and the lighting method has been replaced with something that looks like an electric lamp. The sofas, coffee tables, etc. have also followed suit.

There's even a TV-like gadget.

If the street scene outside had not remained the same, the scene the moment the door opened would have made Aize feel like he had traveled back to his hometown.

He turned around blankly and looked at Villian:

"……This is?"

"Before, you told me about some things from the original world, and I wondered if I could replicate them a little bit. Haha, I took the opportunity of this renovation to try it out."

The witch shrugged as she spoke:

"That being said, all I can rely on are your few words, and there are bound to be many details. Most... uh, home appliances? That's what they're called, can only imitate the appearance, and the actual situation is very different."

indeed.

If you look closely, you’ll see that what looks like a light bulb on the outside is actually lighting magic on the inside, it just has a cover to make it look like that.

The TV is just a decoration and cannot be used at all. There is only a mirror embedded on it.

If you look at it more carefully, including the furniture, you will find some things with a strange style.

For example, in the area that should be the kitchen, there is a square metal box. The basic pattern is a re-skin of the treasure chest that appears in the maze.

When it was opened, the cold air that gushed out almost made Aize look refreshed. The power was comparable to the breath of a small ice monster, and it almost froze him in place.

Could this be...a refrigerator?

Ice + box, no problem.

After all, it is restored based on the first impression, so it is amazing to be able to do this.

Aize himself had also been curious about why refrigerators are cabinets and freezers are boxes.

But why does she do this?

Aize cast a puzzled look at the smug witch lady.

The latter just smiled and tilted his head without saying anything.

It seems there is no need to ask, of course it is tailor-made for you.

I know that I don’t like this world, nor do I like the dazzling decorative styles of the aristocratic mansions in this world.

So, in order to make myself feel more at ease, I did these things as soon as the battle was over, without even taking a rest.

Aize couldn't help but feel a little confused.

You know, Villian's fatigue from the previous operation was no less than his.

He used his familiars to monitor the battlefield situation throughout the entire process, and at critical moments, he continued to bombard the battlefield with high-difficulty and high-intensity spells until the end of the battle.

Such consumption is enough to drain any ordinary magician dry.

As a result, this is what it is now.

Aize couldn't help but cover his face:

"...No, I just said some things casually. There's no need...to be like this...right?"

"No, it's necessary. As long as it's Aize's wish, no matter how big or small, I will do my best to fulfill it."

The witch lady said this with extraordinary determination.

"Aize's greatest wish is to return to his original world, right? I'm sorry, but I can't fulfill this wish yet. So, I built this house as a temporary compromise."

Having said that, without giving Aize more time to think, she directly came up again and said with a smile:

"What? You don't like it? If you don't like it, it's okay to change it to the one you had before, okay?"

Aize shook his head vigorously, which was rare for him.

"No, I like it very much."

The two years since I came into this world have been filled with all kinds of intrigue.

Aize is used to questioning and then doubting other people's kindness.

But this time, he was finally able to accept it frankly.

Then he smiled and replied:

"Are there other rooms? Would you like to show me?"

"Um!"

Living room, kitchen, bedroom, dressing room, storage room, bathroom, etc., everything is available.

There's even an unusually large study.

"Didn't you say before? Back in the original world, you always wanted a big study to display your... uh, what's it called? Oh yeah, comics, figurines, games, and other collectibles, so that's why you built this room."

"Having said that, I really can't restore those things by myself. Anyway, I'll just make this room. I'll decide what to put in it after you wake up."

The level of care and effort was beyond Aize's imagination.

Many of the things he mentioned casually, Vivian wrote down word for word, and based on her own knowledge, she tried hard to imagine and restore them.

When the tour was finally over and they stopped in the bedroom, Miss Witch added:

"Didn't I just ask you to do me a favor? That's what I was referring to. Personally, I'm quite interested in the situation in Aize's original world, so building this house also has my personal preferences in mind."

"But, after all, this is something I unilaterally imagined. There are still many details that need to be improved and errors that need to be corrected. How about helping me complete this house together?"

What's with this look of a newlywed couple discussing a house renovation plan?

It always feels weird.

It's weird, but Aize doesn't hate me...It seems a bit too much to say that.

Correction is quite interesting.

It might even be the first time since coming into this world that he feels like doing something because he likes it or is interested in it.

He nodded vigorously again:

"Well, let's finish it together!"

The previous irritability has almost disappeared.

He was even looking forward to what this place would look like after it was completed.

I couldn't help but turn my head and take a few more glances at the furnishings in the room.

Then, I heard Villian say:

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

"what?"

"name."

"Um?"

"Or should I say address? You've always called that knight lady Christine, not Christina, but you've always called me Villian. Isn't that a little unfair?"

The witch lady who said this held her chin in her hands, her face expressionless, but the dissatisfaction in her voice was clearly audible.

Aize couldn't help but blink:

"No, it's not fair or anything... It's just that her name is too long and it's not convenient to call her by her full name, so I shortened it to her. There's no other meaning."

"Yeah~ That's what happened~ Yeah, I get it. It's okay. I don't care at all~"

The tone at the end of each short sentence is rising, which is extremely sarcastic.

Of course, Aize also knew that Villian was probably not really unhappy, but was just messing with herself like before.

But now that things have come to this, it would be a shame if I didn't say anything.

Aize scratched his hair, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Then...how about I call you...Weir from now on?"

The witch, having succeeded once again, smiled triumphantly, raised her head, and said half-jokingly:

"If you want to call me that, that's fine. Just call me that."

"What can't I do..."

Aize couldn't help but sigh.

But then, he smiled and said:

"That's it then. Please give me your guidance in the future, Weir."

"Yeah, this side too, Aize~"

Chapter 1: Postwar Daily Life

Things happened just as Aize expected.

In just less than two weeks, the Great Witch fell, the brave man fled, then Brian rebelled, the Great Chief was killed, and the orc army was destroyed.

A series of major events that happened one after another have left all parties quite confused.

For the time being, everyone waited and watched, without taking any hasty action.

Thanks to this, Aize was able to enjoy a few days of vacation.

Apart from strolling around the streets, eating, drinking tea, and shopping, almost all the rest of the time was spent on decorating the interior of the house.

One by one, strange pieces of furniture or "electrical appliances" were slowly transformed back to their original appearance.

For example, now, with Aize's description and help, the refrigerator in the kitchen that was like a maze trap was finally changed into a normal double-door upper and lower layer.

It is one of the few electrical appliances in this house that can function properly.

After finishing her work, Villian looked at the metallic box in front of her and nodded:

"I see. The upper layer is slightly cooler, while the lower layer is frozen. This way, most of the ingredients, even the cooked food, can be taken care of. It makes perfect sense."

As she spoke, she looked at Aize:

"But, isn't there no magic in your original world? No freezing magic or anything like that. How did you achieve this with just electricity?"

Villian listened to the civilization of Aize's original world, but still could not understand its inner meaning.

In response, Aize could only shrug his shoulders.

"The specific principles are quite complicated, and there are different technical approaches. I don't really understand them... but in short, it can be done."

Aize does not have much awe for magic, or even so-called miracles.

Its positioning basically remains at the level of "very strong technology".

When he first came to this world, he actually tried to learn and figure out the motivations behind it.

As a result, after getting the textbooks of the magic academy affiliated with the church, when I opened them, they were all full of weird nonsense.

The book is so thick that it could kill you, but the key information cannot even be put into a small booklet.

Just sorting out the content almost blew up my CPU, let alone the underlying logic.

Plus, Aize’s own talent in magic...is indeed not that much.

Just give up.

I heard that the academic research on magic is more systematic over there. Why not find some literature there and look through it later? Maybe I'll find something.
