"Okay, then let's go see the house first."

After all, a hotel is a hotel, a house is a house, and there is nothing wrong with staying for a day or two in the former, but if there are other things to deal with like now, and the surrounding environment needs to be quiet and safe enough, it is naturally not as reassuring as a house that belongs to you temporarily.

So even though the environment of the hotel seemed quite satisfactory, it couldn't stop Liszt's determination to rent a house to use it.

Therefore, Liszt did not hesitate, and immediately left the inn with everyone, and was led by the swordsman to the house that he said met his requirements—

The location is not very far from the commercial street where the hotel is located, in a residential area, it is a three-storey single-family building like a residential building, in addition, there is an underground space equal to the main area under the first floor can be used, and the roof is also opened, when you are bored, you can sunbathe on it, or cultivate some flowers and plants.

There are no factories and other facilities around, so the noise is relatively small, that is, all kinds of sounds made by the surrounding residents when they are active, and the environment is also very clean, according to the intermediary, there will be special staff here every day to clean up the garbage on the streets, in terms of hygiene, it is also worthy of the style of the imperial capital.

But because of this, the rent here will be a little more expensive than the average place.

What's more, it is still a small single-family building, which can be said to be very sought-after, if you don't confirm it quickly, you may turn around and be taken away or bought by someone else.

Although Liszt knew that this might be a trick used by the agent to sell, seeing that the house and the surrounding environment were indeed satisfactory, Liszt did not hesitate, and immediately made a contract with the agent, paid the rent, and rented the house.

"Sakiya, Moli, Long Ears, the three of you stay and clean the house, and by the way, buy some daily necessities, and I'll go to Meili's second-hand cottage with Uncle and them first." Liszt, who had obtained the key to the house and the right to use it, threw the key to Sixteen Misaki on the side, and explained to Akiya, the battle mage, and the ninja.

"Okay."

Then Liszt did not stop, and under the leadership of Uncle Blue Fist, he walked towards the main target of this time - Merry's second-hand hut.

As the uncle reported before, although Mei Li's second-hand cottage is also on the street, the location is not on the commercial street, or not on the main busy street, but at the end of a street in a quiet location like a residential area, the façade is very hidden, and there is no special signage, so if you are not an acquaintance, you may not be able to find where it is.

It can be seen that the purpose of opening this store is not to make money or anything, but to be a regular customer and word of mouth or simply want to give away what he makes or cannot use.

But having said that, judging from the ease with which the uncle could find out where she was, and from the occasional guests at the door, Merry's second-hand cottage didn't seem to be as depressed as it seemed.

But it's normal to think about it.

After all, this is an official member of the Elytra of the Seven Bodies, the Seven Gods, that is, the descendants of Odeinzi, one of the Seven Mechanical Gods of War, opened by Merry Fayin O'Neill, a small shop dedicated to dealing with idle mechanical artifacts in her hands, and this name alone will not make her small shop without customers, not to mention, Merry will sometimes put some strange mechanical creations made on a whim, I don't know whether to say it is an experiment or something, also put them on the shelves for sale.

For those aristocratic customers who like to pursue excitement and novelty, it is like opening a blind box, which makes them full of shopping fun, so even in pursuit of this kind of fun, idle nobles will come here from time to time to shop, hoping to buy something interesting that cannot be seen in the world.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Norton would even know the descendants and members of the Seven Gods." Standing under the sign of the shop, Liszt looked at the exclusive logo unique to the elytra of the seven gods on the signboard, and muttered with some emotion.

Then without hesitation, he stepped forward, opened the door of the store, and led everyone into the small shop-

"Jingle bells."

"Welcome." A young woman's voice was followed by the sound of a bell.

……

"Excuse me, is Miss Merry Fayin O'Neill here?" Liszt walked over to the counter and asked the girl who was standing there doing business.

"Who are you?" The girl looked at Liszt and the others suspiciously.

"Hello, my name is Liszt, I am entrusted with the need to hand over this letter to Ms. Merry, is she in the store now?" Liszt first introduced himself, then took out the letter of recommendation from Norton and explained to the girl in front of him.

"I'm sorry, but Ms. Merry isn't in the store right now, but you can leave the letter here and I'll pass it on to you when Ms. Merry comes."

"Then there is no need, after all, the person I promised me this letter would hand it over to Madame Merry himself. I wonder when Ms. Merry will come over? Liszt shook his head in refusal.

"I usually come here at dusk. If you have other things to do, you can go and wait until dusk to come back to the store, and then you should be able to see Ms. Merry. ”

"Dusk, it's okay, then I'll come back at dusk."

After a brief walk around the store, Liszt asked about the purchase price and procurement procedures of the materials for the construction of the alien dimensional transfer device, and then led the people out of Merry's second-hand cottage and returned to the commercial street, where they purchased various daily necessities like ordinary residents......

It wasn't until dusk that he took the female fighting tiger girl to Merry's second-hand cottage again.

As for the swordsman and Uncle Blue Fist, he sent them back to the newly rented apartment building to help repair the house.

……

"Jingle bells."

"Welcome...... You're here to find Ms. Merry, she's inside right now, please wait a minute, I'll go inside and call her. The girl who recognized Liszt's appearance at the first time didn't need Liszt to speak, and was the first to respond.

"I'm sorry for you."

Then the girl turned around and went to the workshop converted from the back house of the small shop, and it was only after five or six minutes that she walked out of the back house with a strangely dressed woman who looked like an American pilot in the nineties, with many traces of time on her face, but she could still see the beautiful and elegant woman of her youth.

"Lady Merry, this gentleman wants to see you." The girl introduced next to Merry.

"I heard from Ariga, you have a letter to hand over to me?" Merry glanced Liszt up and down, without any greetings, and confirmed bluntly.

"Yes." Liszt was sure, and then took out Norton's letter and handed it to Merry with both hands.

Mei Li took it casually, glanced at the font on the cover, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, decisively opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and read the contents in front of Liszt.

"My dear friend......"

"So you're a disciple of that little guy in Norton." After a while, Mei Li, who had read the letter, looked at Liszt in front of her again with some surprise and said: "He has already told me about you in the letter, but I didn't expect him to really cultivate a student who can inherit his ideas, but it is not in vain his original insistence, come in with me." ”

Then Liszt bypassed the counter under Merry's guidance, came to Merry's side, and went to the back house that was used as a workshop under Merry's guidance.

Suddenly, a more chaotic but more technologically advanced environment than Kimberly's studio in the world of the Karakuri Girl came into view!
