第九十四話「劇的」

ラノア王国、魔法都市シャリーア。

学生の多く住むこの都市の一角に、問題を抱えた一件のお家がありました。
築１００年。ルーデウス邸。
この家の抱える問題、それは……。

『幽霊屋敷』

古びた外見は洋館のようにも見えますが、
苔むして、枯れた蔦の絡まったその姿は、不気味の一言。

この家に住もうとしているのが、
依頼人のルーデウス・グレイラットさん。
元A級冒険者にして、現在は魔法大学の学生さん。
結婚するというので家を買ったものの、佇まいに不満が噴出したようです。

この家には、どんな問題があるのでしょうか。

一歩敷地内に入れば、
手入れのされていない庭。
壊れた入り口。
所々にシミの残る壁や天井。
雨漏りのしている屋根。
使えるかどうかもわからない暖炉……。
廃墟という単語が思い浮かぶようです。

「魔力的な要素で長持ちはしているようですが、
やはり古びてる感じは否めません。
新婚の新居にしては少々趣深すぎますよね」

新婚にふさわしい綺麗な家にして欲しい。
そんな依頼人の願いを受け、一人の男が立ち上がりました。

リフォームの匠。
『大空洞のバルダ』。
バシェラント公国の魔術ギルドに所属する、一流建築士。
建物の設計から建築までこなす、この道三十年の大ベテラン。

ミリス神聖国で学んだ建築技術を元に、
魔法大学の別棟校舎を建築するなど、数々の実績を持ちます。

少々頑固な所もありますが、気のいい人物で、腕は確か。
常にハンマーを腰に下げ、他人の家でも気に入らない所があれば叩いて直す職人気質。
建物も弟子も、ハンマー一つで叩いて直す。
そんな彼を人は『トンカチのバルダ』と呼ぶのです。


「おう。きてやったぞ。お前さんが泥沼か！ 結婚するんだってな！」

そんな匠を出迎えるのは、今回の依頼人。
巷で『泥沼のルーデウス』と呼ばれている彼は、匠からも気さくに泥沼と呼ばれました。

「はい。バルダさん、よろしくおねがいします」

バルダはルーデウスという名を知っていました。
古い友人であるタルハンド。
彼の仲間であったエリナリーゼから、聞いていたのです。

「結婚するに当たって家を買ったのはいいのですが、ご覧の有様でして」
「とりあえず、ざっと家ン中みさしてもらっていいか？」
「どうぞ」

家の中に入ろうとして、すぐに匠の眉がひそめられます。

「おい、なんだこりゃ、入り口がひでぇな。まるで引きちぎられたみてえじゃねえか」
「立て付けが悪かったらしく開かなかったので、仕方なく破壊しました」
「ったくよう、最近の若い奴はなんでもぽんぽん壊しやがる、モノに対する敬意ってもんが足りねえんだよ」
「まったくですね」

憤りを見せる匠に、依頼人は飄々とした態度で受け流しました。
まるで、自分は壊していないとでも言わんばかりの態度です。

匠はその態度が気に食いません。
ですが、ここは自分を抑えます。
『泥沼のルーデウス』は怒らせると怖い人間だと聞き及んでいるからです。

「扉はどうすんだ？」
「どう、とは？」
「材質とか、意匠とか。特に注文がねえなら、俺が独自の判断で拵える」
「材質などは特にありませんが、頑丈なものを頼みます。あと、一応ドアノッカーもつけておいてください」
「その辺は入り口だから当然だな」

匠は中に入り、難しい顔をしました。

「結構ガタがきてんな」
「そ、そうなんですか？」
「床の方はやけに丁寧に作られてるが、それと比べりゃ壁と天井が適当だ。
まるで地下室が一番大事で、それ以外がオマケみてえな作りだ」
「そういうの、わかるもんなんですか」
「あたぼうよ」

匠の目には、どこが良く、どこが悪いかがすぐに解りました。
床、階段、二階、食堂、厨房、暖炉。
このあたりは非常によくできているそうです。
天才的な腕を持つ大工が、１００年前の建築技術と魔法技術を駆使したことが分かります。
けれど、壁や天井など、一部の箇所は手が加えられ、そこがおかしくなっているのです。

「ま、こんなのはすぐ直る」

匠の頼もしい言葉。
それに安心した依頼人は、大きな食堂へと入ります。

「大部屋か。日当たりは悪くねえな」
「暖炉はどうでしょうか」
「どれ」

使えるかどうかわからない暖炉。
匠の目が光ります。

「これはいい暖炉だ。ちと古いが、変に手直ししない方がいいな」
「いいんですか？」
「ほれ、ここに刻んであるサインを見てみろ」

匠の指差す先には、どこかで見たような紋章が。

「これは１００年ぐらいまえにいた、天才魔道具制作師マジックディレクターのサインよ。
名前も残っちゃいねえんだがな。アスラ王国じゃあ、このサインのついた魔道具は極めて高く取引されてる。
つっても、基本的には小物ばっかりでな。
まさかこんな家の暖炉まで作ってたとはなぁ……」
「…………」

依頼人の脳裏に浮かぶのは、先日この家で見つけた、日記に書かれた文様。
それと、この暖炉に刻まれた文様はよく似ていました。
どうやら、最初の家主の自作だったようです。

「で、この大部屋はどうすんだ？」
「そうですね。普通はどうするものなんですか？」
「大部屋だからな。でっかいテーブルおいて、パーティする時に使う。
もう片方は予備だ。何らかの理由で部屋が使えねえって時に、代わりに使う」
「普段は使わないってことですか？」
「普通はな。っても、俺らみたいのが普通に生活する分にゃ、大部屋なんぞ一つありゃ十分だがな」
「ですね……。では、もう片方はくつろげる空間という感じで」
「あいよ」

くつろげる空間。
そんなリクエストを受けつつ、匠と依頼人は次の部屋へと移動します。

「厨房も二つあるんだったな。
で、片方には、窯はねえと」
「窯が無いってことは、使われてなかったって事ですかね」
「排水口があるってこたぁ、洗濯と風呂に使ってたんだろうよ」
「…………ほう、風呂ですか！」

匠は厨房と洗濯場を見ていきました。
排水口のつまりや、劣化などを確認して、頷きます。

「ここも特に手直しするこたぁ無いな」
「親方、その事で一つご相談があるんですか……」

依頼人の口から出た提案。
それに、匠の目が光ります。

「おもしれぇこと考えるじゃねえか。
でも、材料の方がねえから、高くつくかもしれねえぞ？」
「材料は僕が魔術で作ります」
「なんとかなるってか……ありゃいいもんだからな。
よし、なんとかしてみよう」

依頼人の想いが、匠に託されました。
