Heading to the house I just bought, I was getting excited like a kid receiving a present on their birthday.
It was around a 30-minute walk from the real estate company. When we were there, I confirmed the address and was pleasantly surprised to see how nice the house looked from the outside.
It was a light blue and white house that looked similar to the other houses on the block. The closest thing I could describe it was a Victorian-era house from my past life, which I found interesting since this is a fantasy world and all.
At the front door, I wondered what goodies were inside since they said it was fully furnished.
Looking at Alice, she seemed to also feel excited like I am.
"What are you waiting for? Don't you want to see inside?"
"Yeah, give me a second."
Taking out the keys from my pocket, I open the door with much anticipation.
When the door opened, I was greeted by a beautiful interior that gave off the impression of comfort.
Stepping in, I saw that there was a living room a couple of steps to my right and a kitchen down the hall.
Going to the living room first, there were high-quality pieces of furniture centering around a fireplace.
I touched the furniture, which, how do I put it, felt really comfortable like I could just sit on it all day.
Seeing the stairs that lead to the 2nd floor, I went up with Alice following me.
Upstairs, we proceeded to open all the doors on the 2nd floor. There were 2 guest bedrooms, a closet, a bathroom, an office, and a master bedroom with a really big bed similar to the beds I used to sleep on before I ran away.
I placed my hand on the bed and felt how soft it was. It made me think that I really took for granted what a soft bed felt like because I had a strong urge to plop myself on it since I thought I would never feel this level of comfiness ever again when I decided to run away.
However, I put that aside and went to the bathroom next since I was interested in the bathtub because I hadn't taken a hot bath in months, which I missed.
The bathroom design was surprisingly similar to the bathrooms in my past life but much more luxurious.
"Hey Nyx, can I use the bathtub if you don't mind me asking? I'll even pay you."
I'm guessing she was asking because she, too, misses taking a nice hot bath since the inn she was staying in didn't have one. It didn't take me a moment to decide, which is a yes, because if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be able to buy a house like this, or even have the thought of buying a house in general.
"You don't need to pay; just ask me beforehand."
Looking happy at my answer, we continued looking around the house, opening all the rest of the doors we hadn't opened. As the agent said, there was not just furniture but also things like a broom, kitchen knives, cutlery, extra blankets, pillows, sheets, and numerous other things neatly organized throughout the house.
Other than the rooms we explored, there was a surprisingly clean attic and a small cellar with an empty wine rack and some wooden crates and barrels underground.
Once we were done running around the house like kids, Alice sat down on a couch in the living room while I prepared some tea for us in the kitchen.
I boiled some water on the stove, which took me a moment to figure out since it uses wood as a fire, which I never used before. Then I opened one of the kitchen cabinets to get a tea box left for us by the real estate company.
