Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

A few months have passed since then.

I'm having breakfast with Gon. It's a purely Japanese menu of hot rice, fried eggs, tofu and deep-fried tofu, and leftover meat and potatoes from yesterday.

After finding nigari in the capital, I got some soybeans and started making tofu. As expected, the taste of my grandfather's and father's tofu could not be reproduced yet, but the tofu turned out to be good. Once tofu is made, soymilk and yuba (bean curd) are naturally made. And when tofu was fried in oil, "oage-san" (fried bean curd) would be made.

I made "Oage-san" for Gon. I thought that deep-fried tofu would be the best for foxes, so I made it for Gon. I made two kinds of fried bean curd, one without seasoning and the other with sweet and spicy seasoning, and fed them to Gon.

Gong cried. He cried, saying he had never eaten such delicious food. It wasn't such a big deal.

It's too hard to make tofu every day, so I make tofu once a week. Since I don't have soy sauce and eat it with salt, I would like to make soy sauce too.

Also, the renovation of the house, which I have been doing little by little since I bought the house, is finally completed. There were two major renovations, but it took a lot longer than expected.

The first one is the bath. There were originally four rooms on the second floor, but two of them were torn out to make a bath. Neither the kingdom nor the empire had a culture of baths, and it took a long time to explain this to the craftsmen. In addition, we had to deal with the drainage from the second floor, but all the hard work was worth it, and a magnificent bath made entirely of hinoki (Japanese cypress) was completed.

The next thing to be built was a toilet. Toilets in this world are basically pump-and-feed type. Although it is not impossible to deal with it, I wanted to be particular about the toilet in my house. Therefore, I took the trouble to tear down the toilet on the first floor and built an extension in that part of the house to make a larger space. Then, I drew water from a nearby river and used it to build a flush toilet. Since winters in the Empire were cold, the toilet seat was made to warm up according to the temperature. The toilet seat was set to change its temperature according to the outside temperature.

The treated sewage was left to be reused, as Gon wanted it to be.

Since moving to this house, Gon has been away from home more and more. Since he is a fox, it would seem that he should go to the people of the capital to bring them good luck, but there is another fox in the capital. But there is another fox in the capital. When Gon enters there, he is told, "What are you doing to my territory? They said it was not allowed, because it would be a source of quarrel.

So Gon started to plow the fields of the house to kill time.

As expected, it is difficult to farm in the form of a fox. At first, he looked quite eerie with a fox face, human body, and naked body, but recently his humanization skills have improved and he now looks like a "person who looks like a fox". Gon, who is now more comfortable with this, has recently started wearing clothes and dressing like a human. However, he still does not have the guts to go to the capital city in his humanized form.

The water treated in the toilet is now used as fertilizer for the fields. They are building a so-called "manure reservoir," but they have made it so that people cannot see it from the surroundings, and they have also devised a way to prevent people from accidentally getting stuck in it.

Gong produces many vegetables such as potatoes, radishes, Chinese cabbage, and tomatoes, all of which are delicious. He has lived in close proximity to humans, so his knowledge is better than that of humans. When I taught them how to make sweet tomatoes, they began to study it desperately. Maybe I should quit being a fox and become a farmer.

By the way, this past year has been a turbulent one. A year ago at the same time, I was enjoying hunting in the forest with Eryl. I was enjoying daily conversation with Lady Elsa and Master Falco. From there, I lost everything, moved to the capital of the Heedata Empire with new friends like Gon and Ilimo, got a job, and eventually got a house of my own. When I look back on my life as a slave, I can say that my life now is a great success.

A quaint if not spacious house, a large bathroom, a good job, and no financial shortfalls at all, it's smooth sailing. I wish it could go on like this... I thought as I relaxedly watched the sunset.

But what I didn't know was... I didn't know the trouble that lay ahead. The troublesome future that awaits us....
