It's winter.

When I thought it was summer until this time, it was sometime in the fall, and it's already completely winter.

So, we have a village.

Yes, we have a village.

I'm not sure what happened, but Kick-Ass could have been cut off by the fact that the adventurer, who had a tent for staying at the inn, acquiesced in saying, "It's cold in the tent now and we'll build a cabin together."

And he settled down like that. "Good morning, Mr. Kama! It's not." You said the cabin was decent enough. Oh, shit!

Besides, other adventurers say, "Whoa, like that. I'll build it too... What is this?" "Don't take a look, leave it to me!" at the beginning and end of building the Pompom family in Nori. What are you, Cousin, the carpenter's son? All right, I remember your name.

In parallel, a liquor store was created near the inn, and a receptionist junior entered the guild's outpost to form a two-person system.

Did you feel the smell of business even more? I even built a store. It made it harder to sell potions and stuff that we sell, but there's nothing wrong with that. I didn't make it that athe originally. More importantly, if the merchant pays me in advance for the DP contribution he makes for his habitual residence, there's no reason to say no.

And that's how the village came into being on its own.

Somebody's spinning their hands around the back. It's going so well. The Adventurer Alliance is suspicious. You're a cousin or a guild leader spinner, aren't you? Hey.

I've built a house, and the inn won't be coming, will it? It was funny, but that's not true either. Rather, there were more merchants.

The woods, where there were no roads, also had some roads, thanks to carpenters cutting down the woods to make them timber, which made it quite easy to walk, so there was more circulation between Zia Pavela, combined with the tunnel royalties and DP revenues. Golem carriages are harder to use though.

(Note that there was a timber logging quest via the guild, so I left it to Nik and Ichika to increase the number of requests for achievement)

"I hope there's a liquor store after all! Become Wataru!"

"No, I'm sober until I pay my debts! I'm glad we had a tavern, but I'm sober!

"It's okay, this is just apple juice"

"What, then you're fine...... isn't this booze!?

"Ahem? What are you talking about, Wataru? This is juice, it tastes a little liquor-like but nothing but juice. Right?"

"Nah, juice. If Mr. Gozo says so, it's juice, ha-ha-ha."

There was also a farce that

Well, I don't mind drinking. Because you're paying off your debts properly.

Instead, though, Mr. Haku hasn't been here recently. I haven't been here since I gave Rokuko the ring.

Information from the brave, Mr. Haku says he's too busy to afford to come here, but... he's in the mood of a death row waiting to be executed.

Also, I sold cards and dies to the tavern and lent them slots.

I knew this kind of easy gambling was just the right thing to bet on drinks in a liquor store. This one makes money renting slots, and the setting is sweet. Including the cost of renting, it's about as profitable for a critical store as it gets.

So, the card, the dies, and the playroom that got me out to the slot turned into an idle bird, that didn't happen.

"Whoa, whoa! Hey, hey! Number three! Yumenokuni! Oh, don't stop there!

There's a rat race in the playroom right now.

The residents and the innkeepers are all participating.

"No. 1 Aonoten Teki! Move it! Move it! Please, just go. Yeah!

"Here's your chance, number four! Hey, Naznazu! I'm betting on you, and I'm not looking for anything. Can we just move on?!

"Whoa, there's an onsock running through here! One, number five on sock! That's right, Pierce Loch, de fate! Refund here."

The surrounding audience raised a voice of sadness and joy, and hazy gambling tickets danced in the playroom.

Bet which rat runs through the set course the best. I don't see two clothes or anything because the calculations are troublesome.

"The next race is in an hour! In the last race of the day, the list of players will be there."

"Oh, is there going to be a depa? He can decide to fight in one shot. I can't be alarmed."

"Elektra Mouse is our destiny, this electroluminescent fire is just like thunder!

"Seriously, Fight's guts are amazing, this is going to be an interesting race"

"Because Oraniha Sampo is solid, smart, but not powerful. It's a big hole. All right, I'll buy ten bites! One silver coin!

When customers were betting on the next race, the rats who had become players in the previous race looked delicious with their reward cheese.

These guys lived in the woods. Subordinates, rats active in a dungeon battle with Mr. Huck.

Note that when I named it for the race, I accidentally treated it like a named monster, which made me a lot smarter.

Follow my instructions and deliberately set the order, or perform to boost the race. Huhuhuhu, if you put these guys on you, undercover investigation is your favorite too...? It was a miscalculation, though. It was a miscalculation, though.

So the village could be built around the inn or the dungeon.

One winter I was summoned to a liquor store by Gozo. I went to plug in the dishes to see if they would even serve liquor, not that kind of air, but there was Gozo the Adventurer Representative and Cantara the Blacksmith, Cousin who built this house all the time, the master of the tavern, the shopkeeper, the receptionist of the guild...... the head of the outpost.

In short, it's a form of gathering people in power around here. Including me.

"So, there's nothing else that got Cama here today. I have an important story to tell you about the village that preceded this Cave of Desire."

"Well, I mean, are you seriously a village... Oh, this one's in. So, what are you talking about?

"Oh! That sounds good! All right, the village chief is a kama! You have no objection?!

Huh?

"Lord Kama would be convinced," said Cantara.

"Oh, Mr. Kama can trust you!" and Cousin.

"There isn't. Oh, this is karaoke. I love this," said the master of the tavern.

"Think it's good! It makes me make money," said the store owner.

"... Neither do I." said the receptionist.... Anyone not stopping? What is this flow?

"Oh, my God. Hey, Gozo, why are you talking about me being the village chief?

"That's because you seem to have the most free time! The other guy has a job to do... hey, what a village chief is just a mediator, you're no different than what Kama has been doing so far"

"Rokuko's probably free, too."

"... Kama. You think Rokuko can take care of the village chief?

No, I'm sorry. You said something weird.

"But asking me to do it means decorating, right?

"Right. Ma, basically as usual. He just wants me to decide if anything happens to him as village chief. Don't support me around."

"Yeah? Right... well, then..."

That's all right, I promised to be the village chief.

I feel like I've been put on it, but it's just gonna be a pain in the ass if I leave it to the other guys here badly.

"So, just now, I need to talk to the village chief?

I knew.
