"If I build Gran's house, I'll also move in the process."
After hearing Gran's remarks, I began to think about my place of residence.
I still have my parents' house in the village as the basic residence.
Of course, I sometimes stay in the inn building at the base, but my mother cooked homemade dishes and waited for me, so I usually only slept there.
However, the situation has changed about housing.
Recently, my eldest brother got married.
Originally, the priority within the family was highest for the father, followed by the eldest son.
However, it can be expected that the situation will change when the eldest son gets married.
In this world, even if a child gets married, he or she rarely lives apart from his or her parents unlike in my previous life.
In particular, the eldest son will live with his new family, inheriting his current home and land, and will reign as the new top when his father dies.
In that case, the eldest son is the first in the family, followed by the eldest son's child, so if a brother like me or Baito-nii stays at home without getting married, we will be treated like half slaves. It will end up that way.
I don't think my relationship with the whole family is terrible, but I don't feel like spending my whole life under the eldest son.
If so, it's safe to try becoming independent at this point.
After hearing Gran's story, I started thinking that way.
"Okay, I decided. I'm moving."
After a lot of thought, I decided to leave the house and live by myself.
* * *
I will leave my parents' house and live alone.
In that case, in my case, I would naturally live in the settlement.
But it wasn't just about moving to the base's house.
Anyway, I thought I'd try to improve the settlement a little more.
Currently, the settlement is on the north side of the village where I was born and raised.
The original northern forest is being deforested, and the land is surrounded by walls in a 4km square.
Until now, due to convenience and the location of the first hideout I built, my base was on the land inside the wall, near the south wall near the village.
I decided to change the location for this move.
It's a bit far from the village, but I made my house the center of the land inside the wall.
The new house built by Gran was rebuilt in the center of the land surrounded by a 4km square wall.
It's easy to remake.
I magically remembered the original house that Gran made and reproduced it in the center.
However, when reproducing it, I changed the bricks of the building material to Hardened Bricks.
As a result, a house that looked as if it had been cut out of marble appeared in the central part of the settlement.
And I installed a new wall around my house.
The wall around the new house was about 1km on a side.
I also turned the walls into hardened bricks.
It's a similar wall, but unlike the wall made of reddish-brown bricks, it may have become a magnificent wall with a sense of luxury.
From this central wall to the outer wall, I laid a road.
I made a road using the [Road Creation] spell in four directions, north, south, east and west.
The road leading to the village from the center to the south.
There are fields on the east and west of this road.
And I built Gran's house by the road.
Or rather, I gave Gran the land of this place, and this time I started making it myself.
The architecture is a little different from my house, so I will save it later.
I decided to build Baito-nii's house on this south road.
I built some inn-type buildings here.
Apparently, my brother, Baito, was willing to leave the house like me.
However, although he will come to my land, he will not enter my house.
My brother, a part-time worker, lived in the same inn-type house as his close friends, and rented an inn room to a person who worked in a field in the settlement and wanted to move.
There is still a forest on the north side of my settlement.
Basically, I will continue to cultivate it.
However, the forest in the northeast direction will be managed by forestry.
We plan to continue cultivating in the northwest.
As a result, people working in protected forests, including Maddock-san, have also migrated.
We decided to use the northeastern area inside the outer wall as a forestry area to manage the felled timber.
By the way, I thought I would use the northwest area for charcoal and blacksmithing, but at the moment it is just uselessly far away, so I decided to put it in the northeast.
My house is in the Chuo Ward.
There is a stable for Valkyries and a plantation of magic mushrooms here.
These two are absolutely essential to my cash income.
Especially the Valkyries with horns were decided to not leave here.
Gradually, I'm not hatching the Familiars myself, but the Valkaryies already born (horned) are the ones managing that.
In this way, I proceeded with the land readjustment of the settlement.
It was finally completed and I was nine years old by the time I moved.
TLN: ..... Sooooooooo.... we found out there's another brother in tye house. Daaaaamn. Such a late intro... 55 chapters in...
Hmm... so Ars's family is like this:
Dad, Mom, eldest son, eldest son's newlyweb wife, Baito-nii, Ars, and Kyle... I feel bad for Kyle.

You can get advanced chapters if you join.
9 year old boy in a fantasy world already got his own home and yet so many people on earth in the 30-40 still live with their parents because house prices are just astronomical.
He built it using magic... but we have no such thing here.
@CadmarLegend but the Land price would still be astronomical depending where you live
Well, they did say that Ars is the third child, but they didn't say Baito was the second one so it got confusing.
Thanks for the chapter though!
Bruh they left Kyle 😭🤣
And the parents are ok with their 9 yo child just going off to live alone?
Wait, Baito isn't the Eldest Son? Wasn't he and his wife moving into Ars Land? I thought Ars was the second child of three.
No. Baito doesn’t have a wife. At this point in time, I think the only ones in Ars’ family that have wives are the Eldest Son and the Ars’ father.
Relatives keeps popping up when there is more wealth (hey like in real life! ), poor Ars, without his magic he was destined to a life of hunger and slavery. At least his father helped him with his land deed.
Thank you very much for the chapter!
Didn’t he say his mom looked young when he was born?
I mean, assuming she had her first child at 18, and had Ars at 25, does this mean his oldest brother married at the age of 16?
I know that’s was common for people back in the day, still, if his brother is any older than 16 it doesn’t make sense for the MC to have claimed she looked young.
I think that the author wanted to just show that Ars' mother didn't have any particular signs of aging, or show that she has a face that could make her look young. As in, in her 20s ~ 30s.
@CadmarLegend For sure, plus in a few chapters after this it mentioned his brother was 14, so 5 years older than Ars.
If that’s the case, and we assume his mother had her first child at 17, she would have been 22 with Ars, which is pretty young.
My house is in the Chuo Ward.
Chuo means center
Thanks for the help!
