Episode 210: Still The Village Is Around
"Hey, Beat."
"Hmm?"
"Was there a stone two-story long house in that place?
"Didn't the villagers build it?
"Not until yesterday."
……
"That pond wasn't that big and square when we got here, either, was it? It was smaller and rounder, wasn't it?
"Didn't the villagers dig it?
"Till yesterday, it was small and round."
……
"That wall, too, was about a hundred steps from that pond until yesterday, and now it's about twice as far away?
"Ja, didn't your sister Jasmine's back shrink?
"That's not true! Answer me, Beat, what are you doing!?"
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve in this world, December 30th. Me and my sister Jasmine (and Woo and Tarosiro) were walking blah blah blah blah blah blah through the village as we all seemed to be busy getting ready for the new year. Like doing something: 'You can't let the lord of a nobleman and his fiancée do such a chore!' And I can't help it because they take the job away.
Speaking of which, something similar happened last year. You were too free then to dig a hot spring. But when I dig here, there's a hole in the underground ranch. I think I'll ask John to make a bypass. No, do you want John to dig it?
The same seemed to apply to Sister Jasmine, who never did, because Woo and Tarosiro were walking around and watching the village together.
In other words, Sister Jasmine has been walking around the village day after day without ever having to. After the morning training, it seemed routine to go out to the village and play with the children cats (Cat children). What a urayamakeshikaran!
So I also seem to have noticed John's aim in expanding the village. Well, I expanded it on a pretty big scale, so don't even notice it if it's normal.
This time, about three times more expansion was applied in the area ratio. It is surrounded by a circular fence about five kilometers in radius, mainly by the rocky mountains of the base. It used to have a radius of about three kilometers, so it's three-thirds squared, and it's three times as thick. I didn't punk when the numbers were about double what they initially were, but I would be able to expand this much if I thought about continuing to increase. By the count, we should be able to support about 50,000 people.... might have spread a little too far.
The dwellings have added a number of apartment-format buildings as they were described in previous lives. I made it with a similar look to the same compartment, so it doesn't even look somewhat like an estate. It looks like a period of advanced growth just here. The interval is 3 LDK for your family and one room for bachelors. If it wasn't for the rest of my extended family, I'd be able to handle it.
The aquaculture pond was also maintained. About fifty x twenty-five meters pool on three sides, each different in depth and one, one, five and three meters. I haven't decided what kind of fish to grow yet and I don't know its ecology, so I changed the depth for now and laid gravel on the bottom of a pond of one and three meters. All you have to do is catch the fish. It may not work out at first, but we should go after it and renovate it.
Agricultural land was also expanded. The staple forest potato area was doubled and the area of other legumes and leafy vegetables tripled. By calculation, you should be able to feed yourself even if the number of people doubles now. I'm going to turn the rest to trading and stockpiling, but that's after the next year. From now on, ghosts laugh. Lao's smile can be paralyzed in many ways. Pass because Leo's smile can't be seen without putting his life on hold.
"Well, I magically expanded it when I smashed it"
"I guess that is. But that's not what Atashi wants to hear, whose magic it is! You can't do this massive magic, not even the head of the school!
"Really? This village is under my command, and there's a magic man named John."
"Alas, you're going to teach me some clams. But you're such an amazing wizard. I've never heard of you."
"It's a bit of a translation. I'm not seeing anyone but me, and I can't walk outside. It's just me and Cristella in the village."
"Hmm. You're not imprisoning that John, are you?
"No way! John has a little physical inconvenience. I'm not having a hard time with my life, but sometimes it feels like I'm feeding you, and instead, you're using magic?
"Oh yeah, that's pitiful. Let me see Atashi next time, okay?
"Yeah, of course."
The usual technique, 'I'm not lying, but I didn't reveal everything'. It's true that John is a dirt wizard or can't walk outside, but being a dungeon remains a secret. Physical inconvenience is not a lie because it is a dungeon and there is no body, and this whole village can be called a body. It's a slight difference of interpretation.
I'm going to reveal the glitch, but it's still early. I know Sister Jasmine would be fine, but Tame in the dungeon has too much of an impact on the public. I want to keep as many secrets as possible. Specifically, until we get married. If we get married, it's a living community, so we'll need to share secrets, too. Well, it seems my daughter-in-law explores her husband's secrets, so she'll find out eventually. If you reveal it before then, the damage is minimal. Should be?
Walking blah blah blah in the village, I found a crowd made. Is that Anja Daddy's house over there? Not making a scene, but whispering somewhat anxiously with people nearby. Apparently, it's not rubbing.
As I approached him, Anya's dad, who noticed me, broke out of the crowd and rushed over here.... Anya, Dad, you're a little fat. Something's happening. Race evolution to the Tanuki (?) Do you?
"Boss, get to the right place"
"Yeah, something wrong?
Anya, Dad calls me the boss, too. Or that's what all the cats in the village call me. Apparently, he's imitating Anya. Even in Anya like that, she's a queen (candidate) to the people of this village. Next time let's put on a queen-like black leather bondage costume and mask...... no, will it just be REAL CATWOON? I don't even have a bat. Miao.
"No, when I woke up in the morning, there were more buildings and ponds in the village, so the surprised villagers packed it in."
"Yes, I did!
"Huh..."
Raise your hand and proclaim it high. There's no point in hiding it.
"With more people, I thought I might need farmland or housing. Oh, I'm going to let the fish go and farm it in that pond, so make up your mind with the increased farmland rep."
"Uh, uh, is that right? I understand. Then I'll decide on the sharing here, so if you want to arrange a fish, can I ask you?
"Yeah, I'll be looking for you soon. Okay, and then it's nice to meet you."
Yeah, you usually wonder and get anxious. Perhaps we should have known beforehand. But even at this time, if you're a feudal lord, you can't help it because it's what your lord does. That's convenient.
Anya, Dad got pretty honest. Sometimes it will be because I have been defeated in the battle for the rule 'If I lose, I will be absolutely obedient', but it will also be because my heart has been broken by the serenity of my life here. It's a good trend.
"What is it, boss?"
"If you're the boss, you have no choice."
"I'm already surprised. But you look like a boss."
The gathered cats scatter. "Because I'm the boss," he convinced me of it all. That, not in awe of your lord, but because you seem like you're giving up on naughty kids? I feel like my trust is shaking off in a negative direction?
"Well, right. It's a beat."
"Ugh, even Sister Jasmine"
I'm not convinced, but if I'm convinced, I can't help it. Nothing, I don't want you to go, either. Peace is best. The only thing that's rough about my mind is let the woos heal me later. Give me this degree of heart, if I moff it, it will heal in one shot.
Scattering cats are sending a sharp glance at me. The source is one of the humans who was a junior companion to the example. Watching me hide from the crowd. You'll find out.
The point of gaze, which does not include a piece of favor, would be enmity towards me.
We already know that the purpose of our former junior colleagues is Anya. An investigation by a surveillance network that John stretched all over the village found. I intercepted you two consulting with Kosokoso in the middle of the night.
It turns out that the aim is not to rebuild the kingdom. 'Cause you called me "Black Cat" about Anya. It would be too disrespectful to Her Majesty the Queen (scheduled) even for a coding.
So what is the purpose, this is still unknown. He said it was a comic book or a novel or something. 'Who are you explaining this to, Koz?' There's an explanatory dialogue that makes me want to ask, but these guys were usually just discussing their future actions. Reality isn't that sweet.
Kill me. But they're going to take Anya, but it looks like they used the use of force as a last resort to watch her fight with Junior. That's wise. Looks like we got caught up in talking about securing a way out of this village first.
The walls surrounding this village are more than ten meters tall vertically and the surface is tulu, so it is quite difficult to climb. I can't even dig a hole because John will fix it soon.
Even if you manage to get out, it's in the middle of the Great Forest, one of the world's leading demons, right here. Without the means to do something about the demon, it's the demon feed in less than a hundred steps.
In the meantime, I won't be serving up anything for a while. If you're in a hurry to take action, then you just have to deal with it again. As long as you're in this village, you can't escape John's surveillance.
"Well, shall we go find the fish then? Rivers or ponds in this neighborhood for now?
"Nice! Let's finish up the big guy!
"No, I can't farm it when I'm done."
Maybe this will be my last job of the year. I'd love to finish it off and have a nice New Year.
