There were eight rooms of varying sizes on the second floor, all empty. There wasn’t a thing to be found in any of them except the built-in shelves.

The only exception was the alchemy workshop.

That was the one place left untouched, and it looked like nothing had been taken at all when the previous owner moved out.

With a little cleaning, it looked ready to be used tomorrow.

“Normally, when people move out, they at least leave some furniture...”

If they were going some place in the neighborhood, that was one thing, but if they were moving to a whole other town, then it was a lot of trouble moving large pieces of furniture. People tended to give them away to the neighbors, or just leave them behind in the old house.

The little chest in my room in the dorms had been left behind that way.

It was a bit of an expensive piece which I’d gotten from a friend of Master’s, and I liked it, but I clearly wasn’t going to be able to bring it with me, so it had to be left behind.

It’d make me sad if it got thrown out, so hopefully one of the new students finds a use for it... Oh, maybe there was a newly-married couple in this village, or something like that?

I’d heard that, when people got married and built a new house, it was common for them to receive all of someone’s unneeded furniture like this, and then buy whatever was missing themselves.

It’s really rough, financially, having to buy a whole set of furniture all of a sudden when you get married, after all.

“Well, this simplifies the cleaning, I guess...”

The cleaning seal made cleaning easy, but it unfortunately had some drawbacks. One was that it had a hard time making any effect on the exterior—the outer walls, windows, and roof. It also only cleaned things a little at a time, so it couldn’t keep up with the dirt on those parts that were constantly exposed to the weather.

The other thing was that it only affected the house itself. If there was furniture, it couldn’t clean up any dust or stains on it.

That meant that, in this house, bereft of furniture as it was, there was a good chance the seal would have it more or less clean in a few days’ time.

“Okay, this can be my room...”

I put down my luggage in the room on the south side that got the most sunlight, then headed back down to the kitchen on the first floor.

The workshop was what I was most curious about, but if I went in now, I was bound to lose track of time, so for now I was just going to have to be patient. Yes, patient.

“Let’s look at the kitchen... Whoa, there’s no stove or oven... I can’t cook like this.”

In most houses, heat was provided by a wood or charcoal stove. But this place, like most alchemists’ houses, had at one point had an oven powered by magic. However...

All that was left now was the signs it had once been there.
