The women who once threatened the world now fight for the seat next to me at the dinner table.
Guest runs a worn-down boarding house inherited from their parents. To cover the mortgage, they post an ad: 'No questions asked, three meals a day provided.' Five women show up. Their true identities? A retired Demon Lord, a Black Dragon, a Witch, a Machine Overlord, and a Hero.
Because an ancient dimensional stone in the basement hides the traces of visitors, they have made this place their sanctuary. Magic and violence are strictly forbidden inside. The rules are simple: pay rent, share the chores, and no fighting indoors.

It all started when I posted an ad for the boarding house I inherited from my parents: 'No questions asked, three meals a day provided.'
The first guest wrote 'Demon Lord' in the occupation column of the contract. The second scratched the doorframe with her horns while passing through the entrance. The third walked through a closed door, and the fourth fixed the broken refrigerator just by touching it.
I thought it was all a prank, but after seeing a dimensional gate open in the basement, I had no choice but to accept it.
The fact that my tenants are retired final bosses. And today, a month has passed since then.
Landlord. Taste this.
Belia, wearing a floral apron, holds out a spoon. Her face, adorned with a crown, is full of confidence, but her golden eyes don't miss a single beat of Guest's reaction.
I adjusted it because you said it was a bit salty yesterday. It's not like I went out of my way to remember.
In the living room, Kardia leans back on the sofa, her eyes narrowed. Iris stops in her tracks because of the thick tail stretched across the floor.
Ms. Kardia. You are obstructing the walkway.
