"Bringing you back from the garbage heap was the best decision I've ever made," Machi said suddenly, watching Morin tidy up.

"It was also the luckiest thing that ever happened to me."

Morin smiled at Machi, who also curved the corners of her lips slightly.

"Alright, Morin looked at the dilapidated, broken bed in front of him. "Next, I need to figure out how to sleep?"

The next day.

Another refreshing morning.

"Machi, Morin, we're here."

Uvogin, carrying a large pile of stones, and Nobunaga arrived.

They noticed the door was open. "Did they go out?"

Slightly activating his Aura and covering his whole body with Ten, they became alert and realized there was no living presence inside.

Upon entering, they found no signs of a struggle, which puzzled Uvogin.

"Don't they have enough to eat? Why would they go out?"

"Idiot?"

Nobunaga glanced at him. "You broke their bed yesterday, so of course they had to go out and find a new one."

Uvogin returned a look of disdain. "As if you didn't sit on it yesterday."

Just as the two were about to start bickering again.

Suddenly, a large pink door appeared before them.

"What is this thing?!"

Both of them were startled by the sudden sight.

However, they remembered the strange tablecloth from yesterday that conjured all sorts of delicious food, and they began to understand.

"Is that you, Morin?"

"It's me. I heard your loud voices first thing this morning, and I couldn't even sleep peacefully."

The pink door opened, and Morin walked out, yawning.

Behind him was Machi, leaning against the doorframe and watching them.

"What is this thing you've got now?"

Uvogin and Nobunaga craned their necks, curiously looking at the pink door.

Then, their eyes widened in unison.

Because behind the pink door, it looked like a completely different world from the outside!!

Inside, there was soft, clean tatami, a kitchen with complete facilities, a well-decorated living room, and many other things they couldn't see.

All of this stood in stark contrast to Machi's dilapidated little house outside.

"This, it's called the Door of Nothingness,"

Morin gestured behind him with his thumb.

Item: Door of Nothingness.

Effect: Once affixed to a wall, opening the door again will create a complete house with all necessary infrastructure. Furthermore, once the door is removed, outsiders will not be able to detect it, forming a small house in an independent space.

This item originated when Nobita, one day, wanted to rent a place to live without causing trouble for his family.

Doraemon was deeply moved upon hearing this and blurted out a classic line:

"Amazing! For someone as unambitious and willful as you, with inferior brains and physical strength, to have such determination, I've decided to help you!"

So, he took the useless Nobita and found an apartment.

The apartment owner was very superstitious and there was no Room 4 between Room 3 and Room 5.

Doraemon then produced this door sticker to help Nobita get a place to live, complete with all the corresponding facilities.

This item is simply an absolute divine artifact for traveling and living. If one had such an item, the world would no longer have to worry about a shortage of housing.

It could also save a great deal of space, making it a very practical item.

At midnight today, Morin, who hadn't slept yet, drew this door sticker.

At first, because it was all pink and looked almost identical, Morin thought it was the Anywhere Door that could go anywhere.

But then he realized it was just a door sticker, and it didn't have the fancy door frame of the Anywhere Door.

However, this still didn't disappoint Morin. On the contrary, given his current situation, this Door of Nothingness was even more practical than the Anywhere Door.

A safe and comfortable living environment, complete facilities?

Isn't that much better than sleeping on a broken wooden board bed??

019 interfering, what's going on here?

The moment Morin obtained this item, he immediately called Machi over, asking her to live with him inside the Door sticker.

And so, the scene this morning unfolded.

Speaking of which, since transmigrating here until today, the items he'd drawn all seemed to be related to daily life assistance.

The food produced by the Gourmet Tablecloth represented "Food."

The Translation Jelly, when communicating with people while traveling, barely counted as "Travel."

And this Door of Nothingness sticker was a typical representation of "Shelter."

Good heavens, with food, shelter, and travel, he'd almost covered everything, only lacking "Clothing."

The most commonly used item related to "Clothing" would probably be a change-of-clothes camera.

But speaking of which, he really should change his clothes too.

"To think there's a new house behind the door."

At Morin's invitation, Uvogin and Nobunaga walked in with wide eyes, scrutinizing their surroundings without blinking.

While the decor wasn't particularly luxurious, to bumpkins like Uvogin and Nobunaga, who had never seen extravagance, it appeared quite grand.

Fortunately, the two didn't care about such things and quickly looked away after a couple of glances.

Only Uvogin casually asked, "Looks pretty good. Can I move in here?"

Nobunaga beside him: "?????? ? ?55

Are you planning to leave me behind all by myself?!

"I'm very sorry, but no."

Morin shrugged his eyebrows. "There aren't enough rooms."

Even if there were, he wouldn't let Uvogin move in.

Morin glanced at Machi, who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.

Yesterday, after Morin woke her up and brought her in, Machi had immediately taken a liking to the house.

Mainly because the door sticker could be removed, creating a safe, independent space, which greatly appealed to Machi.

She moved in that very night and lived with Morin.

Although they slept in separate rooms, they had achieved a unique form of cohabitation.

You, a third-party, interfering old man, What's this supposed to be?

"Oh?"

Uvogin, having been rejected, didn't take it to heart. Instead, he exclaimed with emotion:

"First, a magical tablecloth that can conjure all sorts of delicacies, and now a door sticker that provides a house with independent space."

Uvogin said sincerely:

"You're truly amazing, Morin, to have so many magical items in your possession!"

Nobunaga didn't say anything, only nodded, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"You'll see more things like this in the future."

Morin smiled. "To be precise, they are all items, items I created using Nen abilities."

"Nen abilities? Items?!"

Upon hearing about items related to Nen abilities, everyone straightened up.

"Nen abilities are essentially personalized ultimate moves or special techniques developed based on one's own category and characteristics."

"My category is related to Conjuration, which is why I cultivated Nen abilities that can conjure various items with magical effects."

Morin explained, "However, this world is very fair. Nen abilities strictly follow the principle of equivalent exchange. The stronger your ability and the more powerful its effect, the harsher the conditions and restrictions for its use."

"Therefore, every time I use one of these items, I have to pay a corresponding price."

Uvogin immediately asked, "So, that tablecloth that conjures food, does it also put a strain on you?"

"That one's not much of a problem."

Understanding Uvogin's concern, Morin waved his hand with a smile, telling him not to worry.

"If the price is something I can't bear, or if it's too heavy, I wouldn't have taken it out for you all to use."

"That makes sense."

Uvogin rubbed his head and smiled, feeling a sense of relief.

Machi, standing beside him, mused, "So your ability is to conjure items, and the conditions and restrictions are related to their usage?"

"That's right."

Morin nodded. "So when you develop your Nen ability, you must consider your own circumstances, choose the ability you desire, and set suitable conditions and restrictions for its use."

"Furthermore, a Nen ability is a Nen user's greatest trump card and secret. Unless it's a special situation, never reveal your ability and its conditions and restrictions to others."

Morin spoke with great seriousness, and Uvogin and the others listened intently.

However, when they realized that Morin had practically revealed his own Nen ability to them, their hearts couldn't help but warm.

It seemed Morin truly trusted them, treating them as genuine companions.

Machi, Uvogin, and Nobunaga's favorability ratings increased significantly once again.

After learning some knowledge about Nen abilities from Morin, Uvogin and Nobunaga became re-energized, and then

they picked up stones.

Following the method Morin had told them, they began their daily goal of smashing a thousand stones.

Machi, with one hand manipulating the fine thread in her hand, used her other hand to form the number "19" in the air with Aura.

Regarding Nen and Nen abilities, she, who was always calm, had already gained clarity on the future development direction of her own Nen ability.

The group gradually immersed themselves in their respective training, while Morin slowly closed his eyes.

"The idea I had before can also begin to be realized."

Morin whispered in his heart, "Restraints and Vows to reduce the consumption of Nen and Aura when using items.
