I headed for the clearing I had laid down the day before yesterday. There's Celine, and if we succeed in convincing her, she'll be staying here soon, so I wanted to be ready for a little while.

Arrive at the vacant spot on foot from Celine's house. I think this place, which was laid out yesterday, is about the size of a soccer court, and it is a cool place to live because there are rivers running a little further away.

As I looked around in the center of the vacant space, I heard a call from the edge of the vacant space.

"Hey, Marcou!

It was Esther who ran towards me with a wave of hands. Today, as usual, the signs have disappeared, and I didn't notice anything until I heard my voice. Soon they'll say, "I'm sick, I'm walking with signs of killing."

"Good morning, Esther. What's the matter with you?

"What's wrong with this dialog... Yesterday, when I went to exercise, I found this empty space and I was really surprised. Maybe Marc didn't do it, did he?

"Yeah, I finished the ground... Oh, maybe it was someone else's land?

When I was making a fake rock bath, I heard that I could use it anywhere around here, so I didn't think deeply about it, but if it was someone else's land, it would be terrible. I can't even get the woods back...

"Land? The woods outside the village will belong to people who have leveled the ground, so that's fine."

What, so this is my land? I've only lived in a rental house in my previous life, so I can't stop getting excited just about my land.

With such a sense of exhilaration, Esther looks around and puts her hands on her hips.

"I wonder how you created this vacant space. Did you burn the woods with fire magic?

"No, I won't do that! I just normally stuffed the tree in an item box!

"All the forests in this area...!? It feels more amazing than burning down the woods... Oh? Speaking of which, Marc and the others were about to leave the village. I wonder what we'll do with the woods now?

Ah, I didn't tell anyone about the postponement of my stay... Should I be honest here rather than fooling around?

"With my help, Celine's portal stone will be ready in about three months. That's why I'm trying to build a house here and help Celine live there."

"What? Three months!? I think that would be great, but if you're staying in the village, why don't you let me stay at Celine's?

"The three of you are sleeping in the room in a state of miscellaneous fish. I'm sorry about three months."

Hmm, I'd love to stay with Celine every day.

If Celine loves Ester, I'm sure she does. I can't even say that my mouth is ripped because Celine is about to attack me.

"Oh, well, I can't stay without permission from my parents today, so I'm sorry if it's empty and I haven't told Celine yet. So I was wondering if you could keep it a secret."

"Of course I'll keep my mouth shut. I feel like I'm going to stick around with Celine, and just in case, I'm not going to Celine's house today."

You were aware of that. She's a cool sister when Celine isn't around, but she's just a healthy girl when she's around.

Now that we've finished explaining everything, why don't you let Esther advise you on how to build your new home? I shouted at Estelle as I gazed at the open space.

"Hey, Esther. Are there monsters in this forest?

"Hmm, I rarely see it, but sometimes I see Green Fox or Forest Fungus."

I know Green Fox somehow....

"Forest fangas?"

"It's a monster in the form of a large mushroom. Sprinkle spores to increase your allies, but spores can get into people's wounds. Then, in a week's time, the fan gas will grow from the wound, and I'll have to cut off every part of it that grows worse."

Uhh... it's like a Fujitsubo urban legend. I definitely don't want to be near such a monster.

"Do you think a monster like that can be prevented by a fence like this?

After asking, the pile, which was magically made of earth along the boundary between the forest and the open land, was thrown in at intervals of about 30 cm wide and 2 m tall. At first, I tried to make it a high wall, but I stopped it because the outlook was bad and it was going to look like a prison.

Looking back at Ester after about ten bottles were thrown in.

"I'm going to surround this empty area with this. I don't know.

"Well, that's right...."

Estelle pushed the pile by hand, kicked it with her feet and hit her body, then turned her face toward the waist. There is somehow a full smile on his face.

"Yeah, I think this will be fine. It's harder than that, right? I have a favor to ask you, can I try this pillar?

Touching the dagger on her waist, Esther said something like Ney. Do people in the sports association have to test their power?

The MMO I was doing in my previous life also said, "Ooh damage! There was an avant-garde job bragging about the damage, but it might be the same. The back job was a feeling that I didn't really understand, but it's not like I'd say no if I wanted to.

"Fine. I can make as many as I want."

"Thank you! Oops...."

When Esther pulled the dagger out of her sheath, she gently stroked her sword and put on a green mana. Apparently, it is enhancing the sharpness of the dagger with a mana of wind attributes.

Ha!

When I shook my dagger toward the pile with temper, it sounded like Ginn rubbed iron and iron. And when I put the dagger in my sheath, I dropped my shoulders.

I was going to cut it off, but I can't do it ~

When I approached and checked the pile, there was a cut about 3 cm deep at the place where Esther swing the dagger.

I wasn't cut deep, but I was surprised that it was cut because it was quite hard, unlike the play equipment that Ney had made.

"I thought so, but this is harder than Dr. Tori's rock ~"

"Yeah, it might be harder than that experimental rock.... by the way, what's Tori Sensei? Does Mr. Tori do that, too?

"That's right. I've graduated, but the children of the village up to the age of 12 are gathered in the square, where they learn a lot from Mr. Tori."

I see. He's educating the village's children individually, not even at school. If my parents succeeded in persuading me to stay in the village, I might as well ask Mr. Tori to join me.

"So you're going to surround the open space with such a hard pile? Does that have magic?

I'm glad you care, but this is better than consuming magic with a resonance stone.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's do it now."

When I told Esther that, I concentrated the earthy mana in my palm.
