Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 060: More than I Thought

Silfi, who finally came out of bed, was taken by several women, including Pirna, and I dismantled the temporary accommodation while I was talking to Hisohiso. Recycling resources is important.

Leave it as it is? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

In the meantime, the meeting seemed to have ended, and Sylvie's face turned bright red to her ears. And the women who were talking to Sylvie were somehow sending a gentle gaze to Sylvie. This is the one that's been completely uncovered, I see. Is it a public execution?

"Mr. Koske is not guilty of this crime."

"Not guilty."

"Not guilty."

Um, you're innocent.

And I was acquitted by everyone. We did it. Sylphie's face turned bright red and pulled.

"Uhh, uhh, uhhh!

"Wow! It's a raging Sylvie!

Sylvie broke out, so we fled to the first shelter. Was it good that we managed to recover the delay as a result?

"Hah... hah..."

"Absolutely... Absolutely..."

"Are you okay?

"Are you okay?

When we got to the first shelter, only me and Harpy were pinning. Thanks to my tough cardiopulmonary function, Harpy and the others flew loosely from the sky.

Mr. Koske, you're tough.

"If only I could run."

The more skills you acquire, the faster and longer you'll be able to run. If we expand our production system, we can improve our handsome feet and strong cardiopulmonary skills. My mobility gains are likely to help me a lot in the future.

And the night at the first shelter. I'm still alone with Sylvie by building a temporary accommodation today...

……

"Sylvie?"

……

You're delicately distanced from me because you punished me for my malaise this morning. If you can't get close, fuchsia! As they were intimidated, they stopped coming close and sat at the edge of the bench and watching each other. Well, I'm reviewing my skills to make it look good.

Skilled worker: Craft time is reduced by 20%.

Dismantler - +10% Material gained when dismantling craft items.

Repairer - Reduces item repair time by 20% and the number of required materials by 20%.

Mass Producer - Reduce the number of required materials by 10% when creating 10 or more of the same item.

Logger -: 20% increase in acquisition of botanical materials.

Miner II -: 40% more mineral-based materials acquired.

Dismantler: The amount of biological material acquired is increased by 20%.

Creator: The difficulty of item creation is reduced.

Strong cardiopulmonary function -: Stamina's recovery speed is increased by 20%.

Handsome -: Increases movement speed by 10%.

Armor: Melee weapons have +20% Attack.

Superior Archer -: +20% Attack from projectile weapons.

Iron Skin-: Reduces damage taken by 20%.

Survivors: +10% Health and +20% Health Recovery Speed.

Medic -: Healing items have +20% effect.

Reptile stomach: The rate of hunger reduction is reduced by 20%.

Camel Kobu: Decreases dryness speed by 20%.

Now, here's the current list of available skills. Obtained skills have on them. What seems unnecessary as it stands… I don't think we need reptile stomachs and camel sacs. I don't need a demolisher for now. Do you need a mechanic?

What is still powerful is that it is a mass producer, simply because loggers, miners, and dismantlers who acquire more resources often make the same lot these days. The Creator doesn't seem to be able to increase his skill level.

You're still a good archer in combat. We're not in close combat. If you think about it in combination, it would be better to thoroughly conduct an out-of-range battle by increasing your good feet and strong cardiopulmonary function.

However, since you can use 10 skill points now, if you increase your skill level from I to II, you can only increase it by five. Loggers, Dismantlers, Mass Producers are good archers... No, I almost have nothing to fight for, and I can make up for my attacks with weapons. Does this place improve handsome feet and tough cardiopulmonary function?

Skilled worker: Craft time is reduced by 20%.

Dismantler - +10% Material gained when dismantling craft items.

Repairer - Reduces item repair time by 20% and the number of required materials by 20%.

Mass Producer II - When creating 10 or more of the same item, reduce the number of required materials by 10%. If 100 or more, reduce by 20%.

Logger Ⅱ -: Acquisition of botanical materials is increased by 40%.

Miner II -: 40% more mineral-based materials acquired.

Dismantler Ⅱ: The amount of biological material acquired is increased by 40%.

Creator: The difficulty of item creation is reduced.

Strong cardiopulmonary function II: Stamina's recovery speed is increased by 40%.

Toshizu Ⅱ -: Movement speed is increased by 20%.

Armor: Melee weapons have +20% Attack.

Superior Archer -: +20% Attack from projectile weapons.

Iron Skin-: Reduces damage taken by 20%.

Survivors: +10% Health and +20% Health Recovery Speed.

Medic -: Healing items have +20% effect.

Reptile stomach: The rate of hunger reduction is reduced by 20%.

Camel Kobu: Decreases dryness speed by 20%.

Now you have zero skill points. I'm worried about survivors and medics, but they're both combat skills. If I hadn't met Sylvie and survived the solo, I might have been stretching in that direction.

Well, I've finished acquiring my skills.

……

Sylphie is still looking that way, but at some point the distance is clogged. Apparently, I've narrowed my distance while I'm blurring. She's so cute.

Spend the night in peace with your lovely Sylvie, the next day.

We were able to return to the front lines as the sun rose. It seems that the destruction of the Holy King's Army soldiers was already communicated to everyone through Isla, which is a very welcome development.

Hello. You're safe.

Da Nang, who remained to command the forward fort, will welcome us. Isla's right next to you.

"Oh, thanks to Koske. Do you have any reports?

"Yes, there are many things. Would you like to meet me in the conference room as I will prepare a meal?

"Oh, okay. Let's go."

Yes, sir.

"I understand."

"Yes"

Sylvie told me to go to the conference room with Lord Leonard and Pilna. Isla lined up beside me and secretly grabbed the hem of my clothes. When I look at her, she usually smiles slightly.

"What's wrong? Koske"

"... nothing"

I was distressed by Isla's teasing and cuteness, but I managed to fix it. What a cute creature.

Having arrived in the conference room in agony, I sat next to Sylvie, who had been seated earlier. Ira sat beside me as expected, and Pilna sat beside me. Da Nang and Sir Leonard are seated on the other side. I feel like I'm biased in the way I sit, but let's not worry about it. Mm-hmm.

"Now, what do we talk about? Let's report the results first."

"That's right. Pilna"

"Yes, the 5,500 King's Army who attacked the makeshift fort almost destroyed it overnight by Mr. Koske's trap. The next morning, only a few hundred or seventy-two people walked on their feet and retreated."

"Who else?

"It was difficult to count the number of bodies because there were many people who blew up without traces, people whose bodies were badly damaged, and people who were devoured by the gizmas that appeared late at night. Either way, I don't think there are more than 72 survivors who escaped on foot."

"The more I become... the more I have to think about crushing the gizma."

"That's right. There could be a lot of gizzards."

"Is it okay to dispose of the body?

"Leave it alone and the gizma will clean it up. The question is whether the gizzards eaten in vain will not grow again."

I see.

Surely it would be troublesome to intercept another army of gizmas. Not even to interfere with the liberation forces conducting operations in the Kingdom of Merinard.

"By the way, how much damage would the Holy King do to the 5500 people he destroyed this time?

Danang and Sir Leonard answered my question one after the other.

"As of three years ago, the number of soldiers of the Holy King's Army stationed in the territory of the Kingdom of Merinard was about 12000 to 15000. Combined with the previous and current damage, I believe we have destroyed about half of the troops stationed in the Kingdom of Merinard."

"I don't know the current total number of soldiers, so it's just speculation. However, I don't think that the number of soldiers has increased significantly more than three years ago, when we crushed our rebellion. I think this damage is a damage that could also affect the effective control of the Kingdom of Merinard."

"I mean, huge damage?

"I'm sure it will. We can't expect a large army to attack us for a while unless we get a large reinforcement from our home country. Our activities will be considerably easier to do."

I see. More than I thought.

"What happened to the liberators?

"Most of them have moved to our base. I plan to rest there for a while and have people do various tasks from those who have regained their strength. Those who wish will be trained to stand on the battlefield as comrades."

I see. You said most of it, right?

"Yes, a hundred or so veterans and ex-adventurers stayed here and offered to work as soldiers. You're training now. And we keep people with broken feet and broken arms."

"I see. I'll treat you tomorrow as soon as possible."

Da Nang's gaze is on me, so I nod. Probably left it here to get me treated. If you come to me, my dad will cure you as long as you don't lose limbs.

Even so, a hundred or so veterans and ex-adventurers... it seems that there were quite a few male soldiers with weapons. The shortage of men will be somewhat better than this.

Isn't Sykes dry? I'm worried.

"Merti will be able to arrange for those who have moved to our base. If anything happens, you'll be contacted by a Golem transmitter, right?

"Nh, that should be it. Communication with this site has been established."

"I'll try to get in touch with you tomorrow."

"Please do so. Merti will miss the princess."

I see. I haven't seen each other in a while, so it might be a good idea to talk to Merti carefully. "

That's what Sylphie says and smiles. Silfi's natural smile was surprising to those who saw it at first, but lately everyone has become accustomed or naturally accepted it. You didn't laugh so naturally, did you?

"Speaking of which, I have an interesting suggestion from Koske. Koske, talk to me."

"Oh, suddenly. Okay."

First, I decided to talk about the idea of using a Golem transmitter for radio broadcasting. The content is to build a high-output communication tower at the base, emit a special magic wave, and widely convey information with a low-cost version of the receiver. I can only offer ideas, so the technical problem is that Isla and the R&D department are thrown around.

"Nh, it's not technically difficult. With the magic of the pulse hole at our base, we can spare time to fly magic waves far away. Repeaters are also being developed."

"Hmm, that's a good idea. I think the idea of reassuring and healing the liberated people is a wonderful thing."

Yeah, I think I can use a lot of things.

Everyone favourably accepted the radio broadcast. However, the issue is the following proposal.

"I'm mass producing paper, printing billets in large quantities on wooden plates, and spreading them to major cities. That way, we can spread our activities quickly to the people of the Kingdom of Merinard. I think we can lead our supporters to the Great Wilderness."

The response to my proposal is as follows.

"I can't."

You can't expect it to work.

"I don't think so."

It's a blunt cut. Why?

"I don't think it's a bad idea...?

Sylphie is also tilting her neck. I don't think it's my fault. Isla explained the reason.

"Princess, Koske. Few people can read letters."

"Yes, it is. Most civilians cannot read letters. Moreover, the literacy rate of King Merinard's people has fallen even further in the last two decades."

"My people, King Merinard, have fewer places to be educated."

Of course, for Sylphie, who originated from another world and was naturally educated both as a royal family and as a resident of an elf village, the low literacy rate of civilians in this world was completely out of consideration.

"... Operation Villa is frozen."

"... that's right."

Just because radio broadcasting seems to be acceptable... if we liberate the kingdom of Merinard, we have to deal with educational issues, yeah.
