Chapter 236
After the festival ends, summer came in full scale .
The villagers are now playing in the pool .
「This is fully utilized . 」
They have been using it whole year round so I left the management to the lizardmen .
「We drain its water once a month for cleaning . 」
「That’s praiseworthy but… . don’t overdo it . 」
There’s no need for you to overwork .
Though the first thing I thought of this summer is the pool, there are a lot of things that need to be done .
I have to respond to the “wishes” of each village and increase the facilities in the hot spring too .
Ah, there is also that issue in Shashaato City so it is necessary to get in touch with Michael-san .
Small wyvern messaging takes time .
Though our messages are advancing, we still need to write what we have been talking about first or else we will forget about what we’ve been talking about .
As a result, it has become writing two letters .
Maybe it’s time for me to introduce some sort of formal writing style but that might not work because of cultural differences .
I think it’s troublesome too .
I want a copier .
The civil servant girls are accustomed to two-letter writing and seem to view it as the correct way to write .
Though some of them don’t practice it and leave drafts but… .
「You can just write a fair level copy of the drafts . 」
Enviable .
To fulfill the wishes of each village, I’ll go around them with the high elves .
For Village One, it’s mushroom field .
Yes, I know .
Truffle .
Truffle is not something that can grow on the tree and should be on the ground .
There’s a lot of suitable places nearby… . .
That reminds me, aside from black truffle, white truffle exists too .
Should I plant them too?
I plowed while thinking such unnecessary thing so there’s a possibility of white truffles being mixed in this black truffle field .
In any case, they are both truffles .
Since they are mushrooms, it is possible to harvest in the same place multiple times .
Do your best to harvest as much as you can .
And my apologies, I prefer shiitake so you can’t stop me from arranging and plowing some lumbers for it .
As for how to take care of mushrooms… . . their natural enemies are insects, birds, and beasts but since the spiderlings are guarding the village, you don’t have to worry about them .
For Village Two, farming tools .
Hoe, hatchet, sickle .
Ah, pitchfork too .
It is a spear with three heads that is used to collect fodder and things similar to that .
Since Village Two is populated by minotaurs, it is normal that their tools are appropriate for their big size .
However, a big size pitchfork is useless .
The crops are still the same size .
Everything fell using the enlarged pitchfork .
Hahaha .
Reflect .
Let’s make a new one .
Let’s increase the number of spearheads this time .
Ah, Gutt was the one who made the farming tools so I have to reward him .
As for the filed fork… . . how about making it a decoration?
I shouldn’t really mind but I admit that it’s embarrassing .
For Village Three, house expansion and a course around the village .
For the houses, the high elves took care of it for several days .
As for the course around the village, I took care of it using the AFT .
Compared to the time when we founded these villages, I can make a road faster now .
Will the soil of the course be hard enough?
Currently, it doesn’t feel soft… . . feels okay when I step on it .
Good to know .
The centaurs run around the course immediately after completion .
For centaurs, being faster means wielding high fighting power .
I think it is good considering the defense of Village Three .
Eh, ehto… .
Did they just begin a race?
Ah, it is like a ceremony when a male is asking a female for marriage .
So they requested for the course to be able to do this .

My apologies for being too slow .
May you be happy .
Village Four, also known as Sun Castle… .
I’ll bring up the raising of seasonings .
Though I know I can’t expect anything… . let’s just cook .
Is it good?
Nabe?
Ah, maa, seasonings is the last thing I need to worry in this place .
Now then, the nabe…
The ingredients we lack were delivered via a balloon .
Though the number of balloons has increased, the amount each can carry is limited .
I want to improve it but I don’t have time .
Research is required for it .
After cooking, I visit the cannery of the Sun Castle .
It’s not a real factory and it looks like this facility was made only to make souvenirs .
The performance is also amazing .
You just need to put raw material and a can will be made .
The can is very thin .
Nevertheless, it looks like it is properly prepared to be rust-resistant .
It is not much different from the can I know .
Unfortunately, to our regret, this doesn’t seem to be able to do anything aside from making cans .
Though there’s no manpower needed since can making is fully automatic, what should be put on the cans should be prepared manually .
We tried canning an orange first as an experiment but it stayed as it is and is not even peeled off .
In addition, there’s no syrup either so when the can shakes, you can feel the orange inside stirs up .
A terribly canned food .
When you can a fruit, it will be pointless if the fruit inside is not soaked in syrup and not even peeled .
Maa, it will be hard to use it for business too since the daily capacity is too little .
According to Bell, there is someone who knows a lot about this device so we probably get what we want once that person wakes up .
I feel like if this can be used to preserve food, it surely can be used to preserve seasonings .
That’s what I’m looking forward to .
I am now facing the hot spring . I intend to increase the number of facilities here .
Even if it is summer, it feels good to soak in hot springs .

Though you’ll face a problem once you left .
It’s hot .
The lion conjured a block of ice with the use of magic .
Owww .
So you can use magic huh .
Amazing .
In any case, let’s start working since that’s what I came here for .
First, let’s improve the present facility that is being used by ancestor-san .
That said, let’s rebuild the cottage… .
It’s more dilapidated than I thought .
Maybe because it is on a hot spring that it became this dilapidated .
Will wood be a more durable material?
Then, let’s build a new cottage .
Let’s make an exclusive cottage for the ghost knights who are guarding this place .
After preparing lumbers, I left it to the high elves . Now it is time to realize the wish of the lion .
The lion wishes for a place that can protect them from rain .
Given the season, the sun might also be a problem .
Since there is a rock wall near the place where you can mine thermal insulation stones, it will be good to build their place there .
Let’s make a cave there so no matter how much it rains, you won’t get wet .
Now, this looks similar to the one I’ve seen in a zoo… .
Are the lions okay with this?
The first one to check it out is the father lion .
The next one is the mother lion, then the cubs .
There seems to be no problem .
Ah, still, the ground is so hard .
Let’s soften it a bit .
The hot spring now has two lodgings .
One is for the ghost knights .
The wall is now made of wood and it can also serve as a semi sunshade when taking a bath .
I also rebuilt the water supply from the river .
The other one is only a roof and floor . Something made for the lions .

The lions want to be near the ghost knights .
The food of the lions came from the monsters and demon beasts exterminated by the ghost knights . They have enough, no, more than enough to eat .
I’ll prepare a place where they can throw rotten foods away .
I’ll make it once I’ve returned .
What are you doing?
You don’t need to do that thank you dance… . wait, that’s a new version .
Did you practice?
The lion cubs are participating too .
Kuh .
I had no choice but to join .
When I return to Big Tree Village, it is almost harvest time .
We’ve worked hard .
However… .
Let’s play a little first .
This is the empty can I got from the Sun Castle .
「Kick the can . 」
I gather the children and enjoy playing kick the can .
…… .
I underestimated the physical strength of the children .
They’re amazing .
With things going this way, I’ll be the “oni” for a long time .
After capturing several children, someone will surely kick the can .
It can’t be helped .
Let’s increase the number of “oni” .
Looking at it, even adults are now participating .
I made the rule clear to everyone .
Using violence or magic is prohibited .
Going outside the village is prohibited .
Nyunyu-daphnes, stop turning into trees .
Hakuren, there’s no need to kick with all your might .
We enjoyed playing kick the can until the sun went down .
