After getting comfortable sitting across from Cecily she seems confused for some reason.

"Why isn't Onii-sama joining in with you?"

"He seems to need to talk to the Margrave for a bit. He'll be a while."

"Uh-huh, He is like that, very detail oriented that is why he is trusted and put on the frontier."

She leans out the window and shouts forward toward the driver, which is an old dwarf grandma, who has a magic rifle to make sure to get rid of monsters at the level of goblins and wolves with a single shot for average people.

"As soon as possible please take us to Uncle Falium's mansion."

"Yes my Lady!"

The carriage started moving forward as Cecily pulled her head in.

"Now that we're moving I have a warning Uncle is a bit weird so don't be surprised."

"what do you mean?"

"Well...you'll see."

"D.E.T.A.I.L.S. What am I getting myself into."

She had a smile full of mischievous spirit "Well wouldn't you like to know."

Tyrhrung is sitting beside me with her head on my lap with a huge smile watching me be toyed with no way to resist.

"Uuu."

"Haha" Cecily almost fell off her seat laughing. Before anything more happens I change the subject.

"This carriage is a magic item right?"

Seeming to miss that I was changing the subject. "Yes, it is it isn't the best carriage we own but it is my favorite. It is made of treant wood it has various durability enhancements, but the main reason is I'm the one who made it."

"Ehh. You made it, you must have a decently leveled woodworking skills and enchanting skills."

"Yup I also have the smithing and alchemy skill which let me build the whole thing under supervision but the whole thing was built by me. From each ball bearing to the roof."

"By the way, who is the lady that is the driver?"

"Ahh I never introduced her but she was the last head maid. But before that, she was a gold grade adventurer with her husband. They sent him over a few weeks ago to buy and set everything up here for retirement."

"Ahh, I should congratulate her then before leaving."

A shout from outside the carriage came in as it stopped. "My lady, we are here!"

and then an old lady opened the door and spoke. "Ahh lady feel free to visit me, I'm off to see my husband!"

As she ran off she was replaced by a large man who was wearing a robe and carried a Hammer? It looks like a staff with a large chunk of a spirit stone attached to the end.

He then sprinted right at me and he screamed: "Cecily-chan watch out!"

Why did this happen to me? Right now I'm doing everything to avoid death blows from this thing that is an old 'human' man according to Cecily.

He looks like a 20 something with wild red-headed berserker according to what I was able to get out of Cecily in the carriage this man is almost 60.

I don't believe it.

I'm using future sight just to barely give me enough time to move Tyrhrung into the path to slightly redirect each swing allowing me to barely dodge.

I take the chance after one of his wider swings as he took a breath to get some distance.

"Uncle WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"

He seemed to stop attacking after hearing her.

"I am attacking a monster! I bet it took advantage of your kindness to get into the city!"

"Uncle he already got permission from the Margrave."

"What? I didn't hear about it."

"You will have a messenger come here soon. I doubt the margrave assumed you would attack him on sight. Now, look at your driveway is covered in cracks."

"Its no problem my wife will fix it when she gets home."

"You should stop making her waste her mana and learn to control your strength. and spare Aunt Freya from buying things to fix the whole house."

"Haha I'll just get scolded and be forced to train for a few hours"

From behind me I hear a beautiful yet cold voice and feel a dark aura causing me to break out in a cold sweat.

"Yes, you'll train without sleep until you can make a hundred plates in an hour that are as good if not better then the ones in the house."

"Yes, mam." He answered in a whisper.

"Anyway," She looked me up and down examining me "Who would have thought that we would have such a cute guest."

I turn around and see a tall blue haired damphire wearing a black and red robe that had a concealment effect.

"Ahh...You don't need to worry about that muscle brain attacking you."

I took a breath and calmed down "Thank you."

"Yeah on my way home I met a messenger sent from the Margrave explaining that I had to let you board for a while. Ahh my name is Freya by the way"

"Ahh yes, I'm Yuuki thank you for letting me say."

"Yes yes, come inside let's talk about the terms of boarding over a cup of tea"

As we head inside I notice that Falium already disappeared somewhere.

In the meeting room in their "house", it is closer to the size of a mansion. I'm sitting on a couch beside Cecily with Tyrhrung on my lap.

"Oh well, I already have your ID ready due to the Margrave sending it with the messenger all you need to do is run your mana through it. Also, I want to know who that person on your lap."

I nodded "The person in my lap is Tyrhrung she is the soul that lives in my intelligent weapon, this is her -- form."

"Ohh I have seen intelligent weapons before but they normally are nothing like people but like Homunculi."

"Wait!" Cecily interrupted "you have seen an intelligent weapon before?"

"Yes, I have seen the holy sword the hero used in the past. She used it during the time when she was working for the church till the time she realized the church was using her to push a human supremacy agenda and decapitated the pope with it."

"Really I want to hear more about it later, but back to our original topic."

My eyes were glowing hearing about the holy sword.

"Yes. Ahh, the only rules you need to follow in this house are the basic common sense ones plus you have to let someone know when you leave the city. You are also allowed to use all the tools and facilities. You can also use the training grounds."

I take the ID from the table and start running my mana through it.

"Really? Thanks, it seems I got lucky with getting really loose terms."

She smiled seeing my reaction.

"Yes, I'll show you around the house."

She stands up and beckons us to follow.

"The first floor has the kitchen in the back with the bath beside it. The bedrooms are upstairs. The smithing room is across the hall from the alchemy room. The smithing room has a dragon stone forge, a compressed spirit stone anvil and a refinery that works for adamantine. It also has a mana furnace and many types of hammers from cast iron to mithril. It has automata to assist you.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

There is a leatherworking table and toolset on the wall.

The alchemy room has a full lab, a chemical refinery, mana infuser as well as chemical storage that stops time. It also has two homunculi to assist you while making anything they have seen before. They can also learn new recipes after three successful attempts are recorded just like the automata "

"Wow, this place is like all craft workers dream!" I exclaimed

Cecily spoke up bragging as if she was the one to get it and it was all hers "Yup all the highest quality of tools and materials are gathered here. Not even the capital could compare with all the stuff in here."

"Ahh, its not too much trouble it is just that we have had plenty of time to collect it all."

Cecily had her mouth agape in response "I can assure you that not even the palace has the ability to compare to here."

We spoke for a few hours to get the small details and a basic understanding of the tools until it was dinner time.

The four of us are waiting by sitting in a large dining room waiting on a homunculus that is working on dinner in the kitchen.

"Dinner is an orc steak with a side of salad."

"Sounds delicious will uncle be joining us?" *Cecily*

"No, but some will be put aside for him."

{DINNER IS READY} A female automaton comes out with four plates on a large silver tray. She then sets a plate from the tray in front of each one of us.

"Thank you for the food!" *Everyone*

I took a bite. It was insanely delicious I didn't even voice out and shoved it all in my mouth.

"That was amazing" X3

"Really, it pretty normal here?"

"Aunt Freya only nobles regularly eat orc. The average family has to splurge do so. and there are no chefs as good as the homunculi here."

"Well I'll show you all to the baths"

We go upstairs and halfway down the long hall and on the right-hand side and open the door.

"The right is for men and left for women."

I wave and go into the men's bath and as I enter I see Falium sitting there with a tired face.

I slowly walk over and start washing my self in the wash area and clean my self and then walk and sit as far as I could and relax in the bath.

Falium slides over to beside me.

"I have finished all the plates...but I was surprised you managed to not to be hit by my staff it was almost as if you could see the future."

"Uh huh"

"… Well, I won't pry into your skills and the such but, predictive skills and the like, don't rely on them too much because there are countermeasures against them if your enemy realizes that you have one."

"Thanks for the warning."

After that, we sat in there for 10 more minutes before I got out first.

I went to the living room and pull out a book from the shelf in there. As I look through it I was surprised that it was all in Ancient Gladius Empire script. I could read it due to me memorizing it for a ruin's excavation quest with Sister Gaia, she taught it to me saying it would be useful.

The Ancient Gladius Empire has many things left unknown about it. It used to cover the whole continent. It was extremely advanced even compared to today, and it disappeared one day for an unknown reason.

It was a perfect storm making it fit for many people to look at it and come up with various stories and legends.

Now that I think about it very few people can actually read as it is a lost language. I wonder how she could read it?

"Well well well"

The book had a lot of surprising information. It was full of various magic theories and techniques for metallurgy and smithing. It also had information on how attributes could evolve metals other than Iron and silver and the conditions necessary.

It seemed to be a research journal made by a smith.

I read about half of it by the time everyone in the bath was coming downstairs.

"Oh, I'm surprised. You can read it? I am only about half way finished deciphering it. Lately, I have been searching for various ancient texts to further my research. "

"Yeah, it pretty interesting. It is talking about material science and how mana affects various minerals."

"Ohh! Can you translate it for me later? well, anyway let's get you all to your rooms."

She had us follow her back upstairs and told us "you can pick any room you like."

I picked the one closest to the stairs Tyrhrung joined me and Cecily chose the one right beside me.

Right after I picked it I walked in and laid down on the bed to try out how soft it is and immediately fell asleep.

I don't recognize the ceiling.

"Ahh, this is Freya's and Falium's house."

I remember now, I fell asleep instantly upon laying down last night. I try to sit up to realize I can't due to a weight on my arm.

I look down to see that the weight on my arm is none other then Tyrhrung.

{BREAKFAST IS READY} a shout came from downstairs.

When looking at her face like this she is really cute and innocent.

Her ears just twitched, she is definitely awake.

"Come on wake up."

She turns her face further into my chest, I can feel her smiling.

"Come on stop playing."

She tightened her grip. I realized that this way wouldn't work, so I pushed her out of the bed.

"Ow, you shouldn't do that to a lady. You are supposed to just be obedient and wake me up with a kiss!"

I sit up and stretch.

"Yeah, I'll take it under consideration. Let's get ready and go downstairs."

I put on a normal set of clothes and go to the dining room.

I was earlier then Cecily but later then Freya and Falium.

"You will be going with Falium to the adventurer guild to finish all the procedures and explanations. You already have a card but you don't have a rank and you're not in the guild books, so you need to take various tests. Well, for now, eat breakfast."[Freya]

I ate quickly again and ask for seconds and eat those as well.

Falium finishes eating and says "I'll get ready I'll meet you outside"

Tyrhrung turns into a sword and I walk and wait outside for a little while until he comes outside.
