Episode 210: Still the Village Around
"Hey, Beat."
Hmm?
"Was there a stone two-story long house there?
"I thought the villagers built it.
"Not until yesterday."
……
"That pond wasn't so big and square when you came, was it? It was smaller and rounder, right?
"The villagers dug it, didn't they?
"Until yesterday, it was small and round."
……
"That wall was about a hundred steps from that pond until yesterday, and now it's about twice as far away?
"Jasmine, don't you think your sister's back has shrunk?
"That's not true! Answer me, Beat, what have you done!?"
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve in this world, December 30. As everyone seemed busy preparing for New Year's Eve, me and Jasmine (and Woo and Tallojiro) were walking around the village. "I can't let the lord of the aristocracy and his fiancée do such a thing! I can't help but get my job taken away."
Speaking of which, something similar happened last year. I thought I was too busy digging up the hot spring. But if you dig here, there's a hole in the underground ranch. Let's ask John to make a bypass. No, let John dig it up.
It seems that Jasmine and her sister were the same, and Wu and Tarojiro were walking together and watching the village together.
I mean, Jasmine's sister hasn't been here since, so she's been walking around the village all day. After the morning training, it seems that it was a daily routine to go out to the village and play with the cats. What a Vraya Mackesicaran!
So he noticed that John had expanded the village. Well, I've expanded it quite a bit, so I'd normally notice.
This time, the area ratio was expanded about three times. It is surrounded by a circular wall about five kilometers in radius, centered on the rocky mountain at its base. It used to be about three kilometers in radius, so it's three-fifths squared. Even though the number of people has doubled initially, there was no flaking, but if you think about increasing it in the future, you can expand it this much. In terms of calculations, we should be able to feed about 50,000 people.... it might have spread a little too far.
Housing has built some of the apartment-type buildings of the previous life. It has a similar appearance to the same building, so it doesn't look like a park somehow. It looks like it's just a period of advanced growth. The plan is a family 3LDK and bachelor studio. If you don't have a large family, you will be able to handle it.
The aquaculture pond was also maintained. There are three sides of a 50 by 25 meter pool, each with a different depth of 1 meter, 1.5 meters, and 3 meters. I haven't decided what kind of fish to grow yet, and I don't know the ecology, so I changed the depth and laid gravel on the bottom of a pond of one or three meters. All we have to do is catch the fish. It may not work at first, but we should renovate it later.
Agricultural land was also expanded. The forest potato area of staple food was doubled, and the area of other legumes and leafy vegetables was tripled. In terms of calculations, we should be able to feed ourselves even if the number of people doubles. I'm thinking of transferring the rest to trading and stockpiling, but that's after the following year. From now on, the demon laughs. Ra-chan's smile is numb in many ways. The smile of Leo can't be seen without risking his life, so pass.
Well, I magically expanded it when I hit it.
"I guess so. But I want to know whose magic it is, not who it is! I can't even be the head of a school with this magnificent magic!
"Really? This village has a magician named John under my command."
"Oh, you're definitely going to tell me about the clams. But even though he's such a great wizard, I've never heard of him."
"That's a bit of a reason. You won't see anyone but me, and you won't be able to walk outside. The village only knows me and Christella."
"Hmm. I don't suppose you're holding John prisoner?
"No way! John has a little physical inconvenience. I'm not uncomfortable with my life, but sometimes I put in food, so I feel like I'm using magic instead.
"Oh yeah, that's pitiful. Let me see you again.
Yeah, I'll see you soon.
It's the usual technique, "I'm not lying, but I didn't tell you everything." It's true that John is a dirt wizard and can't get out, but it's a secret that he's a dungeon. It can be said that there is a physical inconvenience or that there is no physical inconvenience because it is a dungeon, and it is not a lie because the whole village can be said to be physical. It's a slight interpretation difference.
I'm going to reveal it, but it's still early. I'm sure Jasmine's sister will be fine, but the dungeon's tame has too much impact on the world. I want to keep secrets as secret as possible. Specifically, until you get married. If you get married, you'll need to share your secrets, because it's a community of life. Well, my wife seems to be exploring her husband's secrets, so she'll find out soon. If you reveal it before that, there will be little damage. Should I?
As I walked around the village, I found a crowd of people. Is that Arnya's dad's house? Instead of making noise, they whisper to each other with some anxiety. It doesn't seem to be a rubbing matter.
As I approached, the Arnya dad who noticed me escaped the crowd and rushed towards us.... Arnya, Dad, you're a little fat. It's getting kind of blessed. Species evolved to the Tanuki (? -You do?
"Boss, just in time."
"Yeah, what happened?
Arnya, my dad calls me the boss. In other words, all the village cats call me that. It appears to be imitating Argna. Even in Argna, for the people of this village, it's the queen. Now let's try on the Queen's black leather bondage costume and mask... no, it's just a real cat woo. I don't even have a bat. Miyaoo.
"No, when I woke up in the morning, there were more buildings and ponds in the village, so people in the village were surprised."
"Yes, I did it!
"Eh...."
Raise your hands and proclaim. There's no point hiding it.
"I was wondering if I needed farmland or housing because there were more people. Ah, I'm going to let the fish grow in that pond, so make up your mind with the people in charge of more farmland."
"Uh, uh, is that so? I understand. Well, I'll decide on my share, so can I arrange a fish?
"Yeah, I'll be looking for you soon. Good luck with the rest."
Yeah, you're usually wondering or worried. Maybe I should have known in advance. However, even at this time, a feudal lord would just have to say, "Because it's the lord's business, I can't help it." It's convenient.
Arnya's dad became quite honest. It may be because I was completely defeated in the battle for the rule of 'absolute obedience if I lose', but it may be that my mind was relieved by the serenity of life here. That's a good trend.
"What, did the boss do this?"
"The boss can't help it."
"I'm already surprised. But he seems to be the boss."
The gathered cats scatter. "Because I'm the boss," he said, convincing them all. Is it not because of your awe for the lord, but because of your feelings of abandonment towards the mischievous boy? I feel that trust is swinging in a negative direction.
"Well, that's right. It's a beat."
"Mmm, even Jasmine sister."
I'm not convinced, but if you're convinced, I can't help it. Nothing, I don't want you to be a goner. Peace is the best thing. The only thing that's rough is my heart, and I'll let Woo and the others heal it later. With this kind of heartbeat, the mof will heal in one shot.
The scattering cats are sending a sharp gaze at me. Origin is one of the human tribes who was one of the juniors. He looks at me like I'm hiding from the crowd. They found out.
A line of sight that doesn't contain a piece of favor would mean hostility to me.
We already know that the purpose of the former junior associates is Argna. An investigation by a surveillance network that John had spread throughout the village revealed. I intercepted them talking to Kokoko in the middle of the night.
It turned out that the aim was not to rebuild the kingdom. Because I called Argna "Black Cat." It would be too disrespectful for Her Majesty to sign.
Then, what the purpose is is, it is still unclear. Cartoons, novels, "Who are you explaining to? There was an explanatory dialogue that I would like to ask, but these people were usually just discussing their future behavior. Reality isn't that sweet.
They're going to take Argna after killing me, but seeing Junior fight, it looks like the use of force was the last resort. That's wise. First of all, it seems to have been wrapped up in the idea of securing the means to get out of this village.
The walls surrounding this village are more than ten meters high vertically and the surface is rough, making climbing quite difficult. I can't dig a hole because John can fix it right away.
Even if you manage to get out, it's in the middle of the world's leading demon forest, here. If we don't have a way to get rid of the monster, it will feed the monster in less than a hundred steps.
In the meantime, we won't be able to find anything for a while. If you're in a hurry to take action, you'll have to deal with it again. As long as I'm in this village, I can't escape John's surveillance.
"Well, let's go find the fish. In the meantime, this neighborhood's river or pond?
"Very nice! Let's take down the big ones!
No, I can't farm it once I've finished.
Perhaps this will be the last job of the year. I want to finish this and have a nice New Year.
