Reincarnated as a Fairy: My Magic Wings Will Soar Above This Fantasy World!

The morning sun bathed the house in warm golden light, filtering through the freshly cleaned windows. Dust motes danced in the air as a cool breeze drifted in, carrying the scent of the garden outside. Lyra stretched her arms and took a deep breath, feeling a sense of satisfaction at how much they had accomplished the day before.

The house still needed work, but now, it was livable. The wooden floors had been scrubbed clean, the kitchen had been rid of its years of dust and grime, and the furniture had been rearranged to make the space more comfortable. Even the once-cluttered living room now had a welcoming atmosphere, with the fireplace finally clean and ready for use.

Yuki yawned as she entered the room, rubbing her eyes. "Ugh... my arms are so sore from all that scrubbing yesterday."

Ella, already up and looking as composed as ever, smiled. "At least the worst of the cleaning is done. Now we can focus on making this place truly ours."

Mizu, now in her white fox form, stretched lazily on a pillow near the fireplace. "You all worked so hard yesterday," she murmured. "I think today should be a bit more fun, don’t you?"

Lyra chuckled. "That’s exactly what I was thinking. Today, we make this house feel like home."

Setting Up the Rooms

The first order of business was organizing their personal rooms.

Lyra took the room on the second floor, the one with the best natural light streaming through its wide windows. She had already decided that she would turn a portion of it into a small study area where she could read her magic tomes and research her newfound abilities. She spent the morning arranging her bookshelves and setting up a space for her magical scrolls. With Mizu occasionally offering commentary about how "boring" organizing was, Lyra methodically arranged everything until her room looked exactly as she had envisioned.

Ella took the room beside Lyra’s, preferring a quiet space with minimal decorations. Her room was simple but elegant, with her weapons carefully arranged on the wall and her armor neatly placed on a stand. She spent most of the morning ensuring everything was in its proper place, making sure that every item had its own designated spot.

Yuki, as expected, had the most chaotic approach. She had claimed the third-floor room, excited by the idea of having a higher vantage point. Her space quickly became filled with various training dummies, spare weapons, and a pile of mismatched furniture that she promised she would "sort out later."

By midday, they all took a break, gathering in the kitchen to enjoy a meal together. The scent of freshly baked bread and roasted meat filled the air, and the house, which had once felt empty, now felt like a home filled with warmth and laughter.

The Garden Revival

After finishing their meal, they turned their attention to the overgrown garden. It was a mess of tangled vines, overgrown grass, and flowers struggling to bloom amidst the chaos. But beneath the neglect, there was beauty waiting to be uncovered.

Ella, with her knowledge of plants, took the lead, directing them on which areas to clear first. Yuki, ever the enthusiastic one, took on the task of trimming the overgrown trees, while Lyra focused on restoring the flower beds. Mizu, not particularly fond of physical labor, lounged on a rock, occasionally using water magic to help hydrate the soil.

"This place has potential," Lyra said as she wiped sweat from her brow.

Ella nodded. "With some effort, we could turn this into a beautiful courtyard."

Yuki grinned. "Maybe we can plant some fruit trees! Imagine waking up and grabbing fresh apples right from our backyard."

Lyra smiled at the thought. It was small moments like these that made all the hard work worth it.

By the time they finished, the garden looked significantly better. The once-overgrown paths were now visible, and patches of colorful flowers began to peek through the cleaned-up soil. It would take more time before it was fully restored, but the foundation was set.

Exploring the Capital

With the house finally coming together, they decided to reward themselves by exploring the capital.

Dressed in casual outfits to avoid attracting too much attention, the group made their way into the bustling streets. The capital was lively, filled with merchants calling out their wares, adventurers boasting about their latest quests, and citizens going about their daily routines.

Yuki was immediately drawn to a nearby weapons stall, her eyes sparkling as she examined the finely crafted blades. "Ohhh, look at this one!" she said, holding up a short sword. "It’s perfectly balanced!"

Ella chuckled. "You already have plenty of weapons, Yuki."

"But this one’s different!"

Lyra, meanwhile, was more interested in the magical shops. She found herself in a store filled with enchanted items, her fingers running over the spines of books filled with forgotten spells. Mizu, in her fox form, sat on the counter, occasionally sniffing at magical artifacts.

The store owner, an elderly mage with sharp eyes, observed them with interest. "You have an eye for magic, young lady," he commented.

Lyra nodded. "I’ve always been fascinated by it."

The mage stroked his beard. "If you’re interested, I have a few rare tomes in the back. But they aren’t cheap."

Lyra hesitated, knowing she had spent a significant amount of money on their new house. "Maybe another time," she said with a polite smile.

They spent the rest of the afternoon exploring different parts of the city, from the bustling marketplace to the quieter residential areas. It was a stark contrast from the wilderness and dungeons they had grown accustomed to.

As the sun began to set, they returned home, their hearts full from the day’s adventure.

A Quiet Evening

Back at the house, they gathered in the living room, enjoying the cozy atmosphere they had worked so hard to create. Yuki stretched out on the couch, exhausted from the day’s excitement. "Today was fun," she murmured.

Ella nodded, sipping a cup of warm tea. "It’s nice to have a place to come back to."

Lyra looked around, feeling a deep sense of contentment. The house was no longer just a building—it was their home. It was where they would rest, train, and prepare for whatever challenges lay ahead.

Mizu curled up on Lyra’s lap, her soft fur warm against Lyra’s hands. "This is nice," she whispered.

Lyra smiled, gently stroking Mizu’s fur. "Yeah, it is."

As the fire crackled softly in the hearth, the group sat in comfortable silence, knowing that this was just the beginning of their journey together. The future was full of unknowns, but for now, they had each other, and that was enough.
