"When I brought you back from the garbage dump, it was the best decision I've ever made." Machi suddenly said as she watched Morin organize his things.
"And coming to this world was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me."
Morin smiled at Machi, and she slightly curled her lips as well.
"Alright."
Morin looked at the broken bed made of loose planks before him. "Now the question is, how are we supposed to sleep?"
The next day.
It was another refreshing morning.
"Machi, Morin, we're here."
Uvogin arrived carrying a huge pile of rocks, with Nobunaga beside him.
They found that the door was open. "Did they both go out?"
Only after slightly activating their aura and covering their bodies with Ten in caution did they realize there wasn't a single living person's aura inside.
After entering, they found no signs of a fight either, leaving Uvogin rather puzzled.
"Don't they have plenty to eat? Why did they go out?"
"Idiot."
Nobunaga shot him a sidelong glance. "You crushed their bed when you sat on it yesterday. Of course they had to go find another one."
Uvogin returned an equally disdainful look. "Like you didn't sit on it yesterday."
Just as the two were about to start bickering again—
A pink door suddenly appeared before them.
"What the hell is that?!"
The two froze at the sudden sight.
Fortunately, they thought of the strange tablecloth that had produced all kinds of food yesterday and vaguely understood what was going on.
"Is that you, Morin?"
"It is. I could hear your booming voices first thing in the morning. I can't even sleep in peace."
The pink door opened, and Morin walked out from it with a yawn.
Machi followed behind him, leaning against the doorframe as she watched them.
"What is this thing now?"
Uvogin and Nobunaga craned their necks curiously to peer through the pink door.
Then their eyes widened in unison.
Because behind the pink door was what looked like a completely different world from the outside!!
Inside were soft, clean tatami mats, a fully equipped kitchen, a nicely furnished living room, and countless other places they couldn't see.
Everything stood in stark contrast to Machi's shabby little house outside.
"This is called the Door of Nothingness."
Morin pointed behind him with his thumb.
Item: Door of Nothingness.
Effect: After being pasted onto a wall, opening the door again would create a complete house with all the basic facilities one could need. Once the door was removed, people outside would not notice it, creating a small house in an independent space.
This item came from the time Nobita decided to rent a place and live on his own because he didn't want to trouble his family.
Doraemon had been deeply moved after hearing this and blurted out an extremely classic line:
"Wonderful! You're unambitious, selfish, weaker than everyone else in both brains and brawn, yet you've made such a resolution! I've decided to lend you a hand!!"
So he took the useless Nobita and found an apartment.
The apartment owner was extremely superstitious, so there was no Room Four between Rooms Three and Five.
Doraemon took out this door sticker and helped Nobita get a house there, complete with every facility he could need.
This item was practically the ultimate tool for home and travel. With something like this, the world would never have to worry about running out of housing again.
It could also save an enormous amount of space. It was an incredibly practical item.
At midnight today, while he was still awake, Morin had drawn this door sticker.
At first, because it was pink and looked almost identical, Morin thought it was the Anywhere Door that could lead anywhere.
But he soon discovered that it was only a door sticker and didn't even have the impressive frame of the Anywhere Door.
Still, Morin wasn't disappointed. On the contrary, given his current circumstances, this Door of Nothingness was even more practical than the Anywhere Door.
A safe and comfortable living environment, with fully equipped facilities?
Wasn't that far better than sleeping on a broken wooden bed??
What was with a third party barging in like this?
The moment he got the item, Morin woke Machi and had her move into the space behind the door sticker with him.
That was how the current scene came about this morning.
Come to think of it, ever since he had transmigrated here, all the items he had drawn seemed to have been geared toward daily life.
The food created by the Gourmet Tablecloth represented food.
The Translation Jelly could barely count as transportation, since it let him communicate with people while traveling outside.
And the Door of Nothingness was a typical representative of shelter.
Well, food, clothing, shelter, and transportation were almost all covered now. Only clothing was left.
When it came to clothing-related items, the most commonly used one should be the Dress-Up Camera.
Still, it really was about time for him to change clothes.
"There's actually a whole new house behind the door."
At Morin's invitation, Uvogin and Nobunaga walked in with wide eyes, examining their surroundings without blinking.
The decor wasn't especially luxurious, but in the eyes of country bumpkins like Uvogin and Nobunaga, who had never seen anything fancy, it looked rather high-end.
Fortunately, neither of them cared much about such things, and after taking two looks, they withdrew their gazes.
Only Uvogin casually asked, "It looks pretty nice. Can I move in here too?"
Nobunaga beside him: ??????? ? ?55
Are you planning to leave me behind by myself?!
"Sorry, but no."
Morin raised his brows. "There aren't enough rooms."
Even if there were, I wouldn't let you move in.
Morin glanced at Machi, who was standing nearby with her arms folded against the wall.
After Morin woke her and brought her inside yesterday, she had taken one look at the house and fallen for it.
The main reason was that the door sticker could be removed, creating a safe and independent space. That suited Machi perfectly.
She moved in that very night and began living with Morin.
Although they slept separately, they had still achieved a different kind of cohabitation.
What was a grown man like you doing barging in as a third party?
What kind of sense did that make?
"Oh?"
Uvogin didn't take the rejection to heart. Instead, he began musing aloud.
"First there was that magical tablecloth that could produce all kinds of food, and now there's this house door sticker that creates an independent living space."
Uvogin spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"You're really amazing, Morin. You've got so many incredible things!"
Nobunaga said nothing, merely nodding. There was a trace of admiration in his eyes as well.
"You'll see even more things like this in the future."
Morin smiled. "More accurately, they're all items—items I made using my Nen ability."
"Nen ability? Items?!"
The moment they heard that these items had something to do with Nen abilities, they all sat up straighter.
"A Nen ability is essentially a finishing move or special technique tailored to your own type and characteristics."
"My type is related to Conjuration, so I developed a Nen ability that can materialize all sorts of items with miraculous effects."
Morin explained, "But this world is very fair. Nen abilities adhere most closely to the principle of equivalent exchange. The stronger your ability and the more powerful its effects, the harsher the conditions and restrictions for using it."
"So every time I use these items, I have to pay a corresponding price."
Uvogin immediately asked, "Then does that tablecloth that creates food put a burden on you too?"
"That isn't really a problem."
Understanding what Uvogin meant, Morin waved his hand with a smile to ease his worries.
"If the price was something I couldn't bear, or if it was too heavy, I wouldn't have taken it out for you to use."
"That's true."
Uvogin scratched his head and smiled, finally feeling relieved.
Machi beside him seemed thoughtful. "So your ability is to create items, and the conditions and restrictions lie in how those items are used?"
"That's right."
Morin nodded. "So when you develop your Nen abilities, you must consider your own circumstances, choose the ability you want, and establish conditions and restrictions suitable for using it."
"Also, a Nen ability is a Nen user's greatest trump card and secret. Unless there are special circumstances, never reveal your ability or its conditions and restrictions."
Morin spoke very seriously, and Uvogin and the others listened just as seriously.
But when they remembered that Morin had practically told them about his own Nen ability, warmth rose in their hearts.
It seemed Morin truly trusted them and treated them as genuine companions.
Machi, Uvogin, and Nobunaga's favorability toward Morin rose significantly once more.
After learning some things about Nen abilities from Morin, Uvogin and Nobunaga became fired up again. Then—
They picked up their rocks.
Following the method Morin had taught them, they began working toward their daily goal of smashing one thousand rocks.
Machi also toyed with the thin threads in her hand while using her other hand to manipulate her aura in the air, forming the numbers 1 through 9.
As for Nen and Nen abilities, the ever-calm Machi had already gained an understanding of the direction she wanted to take in developing her future Nen ability.
One after another, they immersed themselves in training, while Morin slowly closed his eyes.
"My earlier idea can be put into practice now."
Morin whispered inwardly,
"The Restraints and Vows that reduce the consumption of Nen and aura when using items."
