I moved to the city from the countryside,
and I began working at the royally-operated RPG Real Estate.
It's been one week now.
Good morning, Kotone! Let's go!
Good morning, Fa!
Today, we're leaving Dali, the capital city, for our first business trip!
Property 2 Troublesome Property! First Business Trip to the Dark Lord's Castle
Forest of Balalaika
I-I'm so nervous.
Miss Rufuria, what's wrong?
Th-The thought of meeting Lady Satona...
Creak Crack
Lady Satona... That's the lady who brought Fa here, right?
Yeah.
Is she that impressive?
Of course! Lady Satona is the Royal Priest I admire the most!
She's also our boss, so we have to be sharp!
Miss Rufuria, I think you can just be your normal self.
I should at least wear some perfume so that I leave a better impression.
Pshh Pshh Pshh
Whoa!
Ew! Gross!
Miss Rufuria! Putting on too much perfume isn't good at all!
Oh, right...
There, now you're your normal self.
She is.
Thanks.
By the way, where's Miss Rakira?
Rakira's holding the fort. Probably baking a pie or something.
Ah...
I was surprised to see such a big stove at RPG Real Estate!
Rakira insisted we have one put in.
So that's why!
I see the castle!
Oh, me, too! What a big castle!
The Dark Lord's Castle
Well, it's time. Kotone, this is your first time meeting Lady Satona, right?
First impressions are critical. Make sure you introduce yourself properly.
Right!
Thanks for waiting.
Lady Satona!
That must have been a long trip. Are you tired?
This is Lady Satona...
Lady Satona! G-Greetings to your—
Creak Crack
Hey, what's up, Satona?!
So friendly! Is that all right?!
Long time no see, Fa.
Yeah!
I hope Fa isn't causing too much trouble.
N-Not at all!
Rufuria gets mad when I don't wear clothes—
We are getting along absolutely and perfectly well!
Good.
Rufuria, you've matured a bit.
Th-Thank you!
She likes me!
Are you Kotone, the new girl?
Yes!
Oh, you're so petite and cute!
I know that's not a compliment...
This is the Dark Lord's Castle, where the Dark Lord used to live.
Feels like a violent monster could jump out at any moment...
They said, "Hello!"
Um, h-hello...
So polite!
These are non-human employees at this venue.
O-Oh, I see.
Venue?
Welcome to the Dark Lord's Castle
After the Hero defeated the Dark Lord,
this castle was re-purposed as a royal theme park.
I'm sure the Dark Lord never dreamed this would happen.
Yes, this looks like the most peaceful place in the world.
Also, the area around the Dark Lord's Castle is a town,
and I'd like people to live here.
They can live near the theme park?!
Yes. The park's employees already live in the area,
but there are many vacant properties.
I'd like non-employees to live here, too.
That's where you come in.
All right!
You can count on us!
This is the place.
Is there something inside?
This is the property.
This?!
Wh-What is this place?
It's full of holes!
It's so dark! I can't see anything.
I'm stuck!
Come on! What are you doing?!
Here we go!
Thank goodness.
It's too small for a person to squeeze through.
I wonder what these holes are for.
Did people get slammed into the wall in a brawl?
This person has such a cute look, but her imagination is violent!
This isn't the only property.
This place is inside a well.
This is a residence?
The humidity is good for your throat.
I see.
What do you "see"?! The floor is so wet that it's freezing in here!
This next room is a bit charred.
A bit? You call this "a bit"?! The inside of a pizza oven is less burnt!
It's black.
Yes, it is.
Don't worry. Nobody died in this room.
Why mention something we didn't even ask?!
That just makes me more nervous...
So dark.
It's Lady Satona's direct request, so I want to try my best, but...
If I recommend those properties to our customers, they'll get mad.
Yes...
I should have stayed at the office with Rakira.
So many leaks
Meanwhile, Rakira
Yes. Yes...
Lots of suspected arson cases
Our deepest apologies.
Thank you.
Lots of suspected arson cases
So many leaks
So many complaint calls today. I'm sick of it.
Fa, good work today as always!
Yeah! The Dark Lord's Castle was fun!
It's not easy being a mom.
That's a big family. What are they saying?
They recently had 30 babies, and it's a lot of work.
That's a whole different scale!
Good evening!
So fluffy! So cute!
We have to think about moving.
Fa Understands Non-Human Language.
You're thinking of moving? Then come to our shop!
Moving?
I have no idea what they're saying...
Kotone Does Not Understand Any of This
I wonder if there are any houses for us, though.
Humans and non-humans have begun co-existing,
but it's still not easy for us.
Everything is built for humans.
Dig Dig
Hey! No digging the walls!
You're making the house full of holes. Bad.
I'm sorry.
Is she saying, "Don't dig"?
Yeah.
I understood that!
Holes in the wall?
Oh!
What is it, Fa?
Wonderful! This was precisely what we wanted!
Look! Little rooms!
It's great, Fa! They're all so happy!
Yeah!
So I guess it was originally a non-human's house.
Yeah. It's close to the Dark Lord's Castle, too.
Good catch, Fa.
Yeah, I noticed during our chat.
Wait, so those complaints, too...
Sealman Splashes Water All Over His House
Yay! Water!
This feels great!
Fire Spirit Causes Fires All the Time
I can burn myself as much as I want!
RPG Real Estate
I'm so glad we solved this.
Yes!
Fa, you deserve praise today.
Yay!
The expensive pot!
Dali Castle
Rental Property Contract
Oh, they found residents already.
Fa is performing well as a bridge between cultures.
I guess my judgment was correct.
RPG Real Estate
Gloom
What should I do?
What's wrong?
Oh, well, um, I can't seem to close any deals...
A pretty, spacious property in a good location, but cheap...
That doesn't exist!
I'd like to relay that message to the past you, when you first came here.
Yeah, I know, right?
Excuse me.
Oh, Mrs. Horan!
Great for Your First Time Living Alone!
Welcome.
Did you find anyone willing to move in?
I'm sorry...
There just doesn't seem to be anyone interested in living in a big mansion right now.
I see.
Great for Your First Time Living Alone!
Apartment for Families!
Don't be sad. Here, I'll comfort you. There, there.
Oh.
What are you doing to the customer?!
It's all right. Seeing Fa is one of the reasons I come here.
I'm glad you feel that way.
Ever since my husband passed away, that mansion's felt too big to live alone in.
I wish someone could come and live there...
Right.
What will you do after someone else moves in?
The house is full of memories, so I'd love to stay.
But I suppose moving to a smaller place is best.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
But please trust me. I'm doing my best. I promise I'll find someone!
Thank you, Miss Kotone.
That said...
There are people who have properties for rent, and people looking for a home,
but they're just not matching up into a deal! Why?!
There, there.
Are you comforting me?
You're comforting me, right?!
Fine, if you say so. Is today all right, Rakira?
Yeah.
Okay, it's a bit overdue,
but we're throwing a welcoming party for Kotone tonight!
Come to my place, and forget about work. Let's have fun!
I'll do my best cooking.
Really?! I'm honored!
Is there a shuwashuwa tower?
What kind of fantasies do you have about house parties in the city?!
Welcome to my home.
Wow!
It's so nice!
The two of us share a room.
That's how we can afford a bigger place.
Oh, room sharing. I see.
Do these doors lead to your personal bedrooms?
Yeah.
I want to see!
I don't mind...
Yay!
Wow!
So cute!
The design is so girly and cute. Is this Miss Rakira's room?
It's mine.
Huh?
I-I like cute things, too!
You're kind of a cool type. I thought maybe your room would look cool, too.
How about Miss Rakira's room?
So, uh, handsome and manly...
What?! No, it's not!
Ribbon
Stickers
Fur
Scrunchie
Look! Girly!
It doesn't match. It's kind of spooky!
Spooky...
That's enough exploration.
Since you're staying over tonight,
let's change into something more comfortable and start the party.
Okay!
You can borrow our clothes, so go ahead and get changed.
Wow! So cute!
Smooth
I'm good like this!
When did you strip?!
You'll get tummy cramps dressed like that.
Boo.
I'll take these clothes, then.
Huh? It's a bit tight around the chest.
Miss Rakira is so slim. It might be a bit tight for me.
Did I gain weight?
Why do I feel like I've lost at something?
Wow! Looks delicious!
I hope that's enough for the four of us.
Miss Rakira, you really are a great cook!
I'm sure you'll make a fine wife!
N-No, I...
No way. Rakira is mine.
Okay...
Right?
Now, Kotone!
Welcome to RPG Real Estate!
Cheers!
Ah, that's so good!
Yes.
You all drink shuwashuwa?
In this country, you can drink shuwashuwa after you turn 16.
I started last year!
Me, too.
I wanna try!
No. Milk for you.
Boo.
I've turned 16, too.
I'm allowed to drink shuwashuwa and tokutoku.
What should I do?
Just a sip...
Hey! That's super strong!
You're supposed to mix it with something!
I prefer milk...
Boo. I don't really like milk.
It's delicious with honey.
Yummy!
Can I just drink the honey?
Straight up?!
Miss Rakira, you don't change at all after drinking shuwashuwa.
Huh?
I don't know why... but I don't change at all.
That's really cool!
Cool
Manly
Not Girly
Not Cute!!
W-Well, maybe I'm getting a little woozy...
What?! So suddenly?!
Come on. Let's eat.
Yes!
Eat!
So good!
This one, and that one, and that one... They're all delicious!
I'm glad.
The wind is picking up.
Oh, I'll go ahead and close that.
Kotone, I love your singing!
Thanks!
I'm so full!
We really ate a lot!
Kotone, are you getting used to work?
Oh... Not yet, actually.
There's so much I can't yet do...
That's normal! For me, in the beginning...
Miss Rufuria?
She fell asleep.
Mid-sentence?!
I'll carry her right to bed.
Fa and Kotone, go ahead and use my room.
And feel free to use the bath.
Thank you.
Rufuria's been concerned about you all this time.
She was wondering if you had any worries, if maybe she needed to talk to you.
So if you do have anything, don't hesitate to talk to us, Kotone.
I will!
Scrub, scrub, scrub.
It seems like I worried them.
Miss Rufuria and Miss Rakira are so nice.
They're so close, and they live together. I bet they can share any concerns they have.
I love living in the same building as Fa, too.
Room share... Room sharing!
What is it, Kotone?
Mrs. Horan's House
Where does this cabinet go?
Luggage this way, please!
Miss Kotone!
Mrs. Horan! How is it?
Yes, it's wonderful.
It's as if I have lots of grandchildren all of a sudden! It's wonderful!
Thank you, Miss Kotone!
You're very welcome!
You did well, Kotone.
Having multiple young people with small budgets share that big mansion was a great idea.
And now Mrs. Horan doesn't have to move.
Yes! I was able to do this thanks to you two and Fa.
Thank you!
I'm so glad they enjoy this!
So glad!
Mrs. Horan's mansion was so amazing.
I know! Why don't we all buy a big house together someday?
We can all live together in a wonderful mansion!
What? That's impossible—
Sounds good!
Might be fun.
I know, right? Endless possibilities!
Don't force me to join in!
No?
Well, I guess one can dream.
Yay!
Hey, wait...
One day, we'll all live together!
Fa here!
Shuwashuwa looked so delicious!
When I turn 16, I'll drink it, too!
