After spending a significant amount of ti renovating the bathroom, Felix decided to stop working on the flooring. Cent floors last longer than wooden planks as they are immune to termites and pests. Felix planned to apply so additives to increase water resistance later, despite the cent being advertised as waterproof.
Leaving the living cent floor alone, Felix returned to the backyard. Repeating his process in the bathroom, he installed more pipes, creating pathways for a household water tank, faucets, a dishwashing sink, a modern toilet, and other utilities.
By noon, the waterworks and backyard deck were half-finished. An electric water pump, a water tank, and a power generator had been installed. However, the water tank was empty.
Felix opened the shopping nu and purchased 1,000 liters of drinkable tap water, costing him one year of lifespan. The water entered his inventory as a mass without a container. Felix bitterly laughed and transferred the purchased tap water into the tank, filling it to the brim.
Felix then tested the equipnt, adding newly purchased fuel to the generator and letting it run. The water pump pushed the water flow into the house, and Felix rushed to the bathroom to open the sink's faucet.
*ZAAA*
It worked. Finally, the house had running water. The wastewater also flowed neatly into the drainage system, entering the septic tank under the paved backyard.
Proud of his work, Felix smiled and puffed out his chest, finally feeling like an adult. Exhausted from hours of labor, he decided to take a bath.

At noon, Jane woke up and confusingly looked around.
'Oh, right. I was no longer in the mansion.'
Jane rembered that she had beco a wife. Noticing that everything in the room was clean except for the dirty bedsheets, she patted her belly and squeezed her thighs, recalling the previous night's tingling sensation.
*GROWL*
Jane's stomach growled, demanding food as she hadn't eaten anything last night except for a man's milk. She sighed and got out of bed, thinking about Lady Valley and wondering if she was fine with the other maids.
Jane removed the bedsheets, carrying them downstairs to wash in the bathroom. However, upon arrival, she rembered that there was no drainage system like in the mansion. They had to procure water from the public water source as no one had prepared it for them.
She smacked her forehead and dropped the clothes. Planning to fetch so water, she searched for a large bucket in the bathroom.
*ZAAA*
While Jane was lost in thought, the sound of running water ca from the bathroom. She smiled, thinking Felix had already fetched water from the city's well or the river.
'Darling, you're such a hardworking husband. Are you taking an afternoon bath?'
Jane barged into the bathroom, hoping to join Felix in the bathtub. But the unusual changes in the bathroom shocked her.
Instead of a wooden floor and a large bathtub, she found Felix under a square white plate pouring water from small holes. Felix was covered in fragrant white foam, washing his hair.
"Felix?" Jane called out.
Felix didn't look back. "Yeah? What's up?"
"What are you doing?"
"Taking a shower…"
"…Shower? What's that?"
The concept of showering was foreign to the people of this world, who only washed their bodies by dipping in a bathtub or a river. Felix paused, realizing Jane wasn't from Earth, and explained in a way that she could understand.
"These are magic tools that produce water. It's more convenient and ti-saving than fetching water from a well or river. Also, the water is drinkable."
"WHAT?!"
Being already naked, Jane moved into the shower with Felix, drinking the water from the rain shower.
Felix laughed and pulled a handheld showerhead. He flipped the handle to switch the water from the rain shower to the handheld one, splashing warm water on Jane's face.
Pleasantly surprised, Jane squealed and laughed. Felix then introduced her to the electric water heater, modern toilet bowl, handheld bidet sprayer, and face-washing sink.
Learning everything, Jane almost cried with happiness. She kissed Felix and enjoyed an afternoon bath together.

After a romantic bathing session and a full-course lunch, Felix dropped off so house-cleaning tools and allowed Jane to help with chores. Jane had fun with the battery-powered vacuum machine, running around the attic. In secret, she shed a tear of regret, wishing she had one at the mansion in the past.
anwhile, Felix continued working on the rooftop, attempting to install solar panels. He needed a steady electricity supply to run his store and other appliances, such as refrigerators, a laundry machine, air conditioners, and lighting.
Soldiers patrolled the streets and rooftops following the assassination attempt. When Felix climbed out of the attic window and summoned long steel bars, the guards noticed him. The appearance of steel bars on the rooftop attracted the passing crowd below. So criticized him for ruining the beautiful roof, while guards watched from a distance.
As a novice handyman, Felix took his ti asuring the rooftop and aligning the structure to avoid destroying the wooden foundation. Unfortunately, the house's structure was too fragile. As soon as Felix started drilling the roof to attach the solar panel foundation, a portion of the rooftop collapsed, sending clay tiles down to the street.
People on the street scread and kept their distance. So cursed Felix for his lousy renovation work while carpenters and craftsn ca out to watch the commotion. Mason experts shook their heads.
"The new landlord is either dumb or overconfident. He should have consulted us first. Who gave him the idea to put heavy stuff on the roof?"
Another carpenter nodded. "That house is roughly 15 years old. The pillars are already old. If he sses up again, the entire thing might collapse."
A soldier chid in. "Even a novice like can tell he's going to destroy that house. What is he doing?"
anwhile, Felix sighed, looking at the large hole he made in the roof.
"I fucked up. Jane is going to scold ."
Jessica consoled him,
