No matter what the reason can be, they will end up all together in the same house, all these chapters are just to build up the excuse. Sign it, this is the only possible outcome.

Rocket speed release!!!

Quality work even before considering that it's just Mikasa doing everything here. Kudos. Only one Q: was the speech bubble in the lower left of page 10 supposed to be empty?

I was expecting that the other girl was scammed by buying a house from fake real estate agents. Seems the issue is far more complicated than that.

If I understand everything correctly in ch. 86 Thomas (whoever that was again) acted as a mediator between Toru and the lord in getting him the house, so either it belonged to the lord all along and the sales guild just sold it anyway, though they had no right to the place, or they sold it twice, to Lily, known to be the town's most powerful magician, nicknamed Infinite, and for her bad temper when angry (chapters 20-22 and 73), and the feudal lord, a noble.

What was the plan here? How did they ever think this could not backfire? Are they tired of having a head on their necks?

The plan was probably that the house would be sold to someone who would be killed by Lily. Same way she tried to do to Tohru.

But then there'd undoubtedly be some investigation going something like "He barged into my house, so I defended myself and killed him." "But that was his house. It'd just been granted to him." "But I have the deed right here." "Strange, we need to check that."

I didn't say it was a smart plan.

The manga is setting it up as greed/corruption but there is a better more reasonable explanation.
The fire, and bad/rushed surveying.
What if the merchants sales records and copy of proof of deeds where damaged in the fire resulting in lost records. The long lived elf could have bought the house a long time ago. If the record was destroyed and a bad survey was conducted, hastened by high demand for houses, (because of the fire) and a decree by the noble to provide reasonably priced houses to those displaced, then an accidental double booking of housing deeds makes sense.

But if the elf OWNS the house, not renting it, and has been for some time, then why would the lord have a spare key?

Whether or not the elf has always owned the house, or just bought it and moved in first, she should get to keep the house. If not purely based on first dibs, she actuality paid for the house and had already moved in. The MC was just granted the house and hadn't moved in so this might be a blunder on the Nobles' side but they could always just apologize and give him a different house.

If this results somehow in them being co-owners, and the MC not renting space from the elf or getting a different house, I'm going to be furious.😡

There is a 98% chance I'm overthinking this, but there's hints for both sides.
On one hand Lily said that she had to grind a long time to be able to afford that house, very much indicating that she owned it before the fire, since that happened not long ago.
On the other hand her old book store that burned down was a two story building with the first floor already being partitioned into a front and back part. Usually the second floor in a house like that would be living quarters for the employees (which in this case would only be her). Granted, this second point is a lot weaker for several reasons.

And yeah, everyone just moving in together would be an absolute dogshit development, regardless of what led to this mistake(?)

 

[Shevar]

A housing shortage, been going on for a while, but there was just an invasion of wolves killing townsfolk. Seems the housing crisis should have been solved.

The resulting fire burned down a lot of buildings, that's how Lily lost her home.
