“That property—can it only be bought at a lump sum?” I asked. Back in Japan, it was normal to pay for housing in installments. It wasn’t clear whether or not this world had a loan system, but eight hundred gold was probably too much for most people to put down at the drop of a hat. It wouldn’t be so strange if payment plans existed here too.

“Well, originally, the property in question was set to be bought outright. For a person of your trustworthy reputation, however, a deferred payment should be quite possible. We would accept eighty gold as a down payment and, thereafter, eight gold coins a month,” said Carmo. Auto-pay was out since there were no banks. I’d have to bring the cash down to the real estate office every month in person, which was a bit of a drag, but with the ability to fly, it wouldn’t be a huge issue.

The down payment would be everything we’d saved up. But we could save again.

“It’s okay. Don’t overdo it,” Oltea said.

“Don’t worry, it’s not a problem. We’ve got enough to pay,” I said.

In my previous life, I had done nothing but save. I had waited, leading an austere life and rendering my days vacant and lifeless in the process. If something worth spending my savings on had come along—anything—I would have done so even if it had cost me all of them. It would have made me happy.

“But eight hundred gold for my sake is...”

“Oltea, for your sake, it’s easy. I owe you so much,” I said. I knew that she was going to object that I was the one who had done the saving, but the fact of the matter was that I wouldn’t be alive today if Oltea hadn’t pulled me into that shack. If I had been attacked by the wood golem right away, while I was still too dazed to know left from right, it would have easily killed me before I figured out how to fire my beam. It was because I’d survived back then that I was able to live a full life today. I hadn’t tasted happiness even once before my rebirth. Now, I was determined to spend every day in its pursuit.

I owed it all to Oltea. And, above all...

“It’s my friend’s dream. For that, I’ll do anything I can to help.”

“Kaito...” Oltea said, her eyes clouding with tears.

“If you don’t have enough, I can help too. For a friend,” said Frieze, finally finding her words.

We had planned to divide our rewards evenly, but Frieze had refused to accept an entire third and had instead settled for a ten percent cut. She never bought anything when we went out shopping and, after living expenses, probably had about twenty gold, including the ten I had initially given her.

“Frieze, thank you...”

“You don’t have to pay, Frieze.”

“But you’ve even covered my living expenses! It’s my home too. I’d feel terrible if I didn’t at least help some.”

“It’s all right, really. I’m just happy to have you living with us.
