Isekai Nonbiri Nouka

Chapter 827: Spring is Almost Over

Morning.

I took the kuros to patrol around the village.

The kuros, who are not good with heights, were wagging their tails happily.

I can’t help but smile.

However, today’s plan is to go to Village Four again……

What should I do?

Should I tell them?

How troubling.

The development of the floating gardens in Village Four is progressing.

Large quantities of building materials are being brought in via the universal ship. High elves are beginning to build houses, and the restoration of the castle on the main island is gradually happening.

The castle was considered to be rebuilt but there was a strong opinion for restoration.

「We have lived here for many years.」

Gou summed up on behalf of the group.

Right, they must be very attached to it.

Or so I thought but there were plans to renovate and expand the castle.

「We have lived here for many years but we also have some complaints……」

Is that how it is?

「That’s how it is.」

-0-

Some of the fields in the castle will be destroyed and turned into gardens.

The purpose is to restore the castle’s function as a castle.

Gou was hoping to secure a path from the main gate to the audience hall but for my part, I want to make sure that the fields in the castle are in the right place and are cultivated.

Despite the fact that they are being holed up in the castle, having fields all over the castle is a hassle in many ways.

When I said that, Gou was happy and started choosing which field to keep and which to destroy.

Of course, Gou did not make his choices based on his own judgment and prejudice but consulted Bell and Kuzuden first.

They made very solid decisions.

I want to learn from them.

In the floating garden, the ones being used as water tanks, lizardmen are working underwater.

The lizardmen swam in the water and their impression was that as they approached the edge, the water became denser and would sweep them further to the side. That means no one would have to worry about jumping out but they would appreciate a more obvious wall.

They said that underwater, it’s hard to tell where the edge is.

I see.

However, I don’t think it would look good to enclose the tank/aquarium with a wall.

I guess I shouldn’t worry about the appearance of the water tank since it’s for water storage.

It would be nice if the walls of the water tank could only be viewed on one side like a one-sided mirror.

Well, we’ll think about that later(oi oi).

It’s not like it’s going to be used as a swimming pool.

In the floating garden to be used as field, soil is being spread and next to it, a nyunyudaphne was checking the light level.

The main island of Village Four has a force field that’s protecting it from light, wind, and atmospheric pressure.

The floating gardens are also within the force field so there shouldn’t be any problem with light level but I had them checked just in case.

The nyunyudapne’s judgement is…..

「No problem」

Good.

「However, the soil is…..」

She’s not happy with it.

Well, I haven’t plowed it using the AFT yet.

I plowed a little for the nyunyudapne who was checking the light level.

「Ooohhh! This fluffiness! And yet it’s damp! Nutritious and mold free! Perfect soil as if it was meant for usssss!!!!」

Well, I plowed it thinking it was soil for the nyunyudapnes.

「No no, this is not the same field that was prepared for the elder treants before! What’s this? Village chief, when did you power up?」

Y-you think so?

「I don’t want to leave! If I’m allowed, I wanted to take roots in this land!」

Ah, I would like to have one or two nyunyudaphnes migrate to Village Four as contact people but……

「I’ll apply for it!」

If that is the case, I would prefer if you’re on the main island.

「Ehhhhhhhhh, but I don’t want to leave here.」

Don’t worry. I’ll plow the main island the same way I plowed this one.

And make it a little wider.

「Please leave it to me.」

Hahaha, thank you.

However, I’ll have to get permission from the leader of the nyunyudaphnes, Igu, before you move.

「Ehhh! There will definitely be a competition. I’ll take that as a recommendation from village chief.」

Should I just plow the ground in the same way?

「As expected of village chief! Good idea! Ah, but then, there would be less need to settle here……」

……that won’t do.

Sorry.

I’ll only plow Village Four.

「That’s—」

I finished today’s work while chatting with the nyunyudaphne.

Night.

I had dinner with Ann, Ramuria, and Senna, who are pregnant.

Senna has a long way to go but Ann and Ramurias are close to giving birth.

The three of them seem to be in good health.

The main topic of conversation during the meal is about the floating gardens in Village Four.

Don’t talk about Torain.

Because Ann and Ramurias will get worried.

And I must absolutely not talk about Ursa or Tiselle.

If I do, the three of them would hold their bellies.

We must not put a burden on the three of them who are already carrying something.

I want to be as cheerful as possible so they won’t worry about anything.

So, Miyo.

Wait until the meal is over.

Youko too.

Sorry.

After dinner, I listened to what Miyo and Youko had to say.

Miyo gave me a list of manpower recommendations.

She said they were people who could be used to help build Tiselle’s country.

She said she made the list though she wasn’t asked to do so in order to protect the people she didn’ want to be taken out of the country.

Understood.

Let’s hurry up and send them to Tiselle.

Incidentally, are there any candidates for the king here?

「Nothing, of course.」

If there were such a candidate, she wouldn’t let him go.

I see.

Youko said that it’s not fair to expand only Village Four.

She said that she would like to request for the expansion of the fields of Village Five as well.

Securing the site to be used as fields is in progress.

They are in the process of hiring adventurers to get rid of monsters and demon beasts.

Once the land is secured, let’s go to Village Five to make the field.

I also want to see how the shrine is doing.

「Look forward to it.」

However, before Village Five, we also have to create fields in Village One, Village Two, and Village Three.

There are requests for them.

「Hou? Have they become jealous of Village Four?」

No, they’ve already requested even before Village Four’s expansion.

I used to go there regularly to increase the number of fields but they were working hard to increase the number of fields on their own.

However, given the state of the forest, only after being plowed with the AFT can make them decent.

After a lot of trial and error, they ended up asking for my help.

「Fumu, should I wield a hoe too?」

Eh?

Have you ever made a field before?

「No, I never tried.」

Hahaha, then you don’t have to.

Besides, Youko is helping me with various jobs.

Please do your best in what you’re good at.

Ah, Miyo.

You’re very helpful too.

Understood.

I’ll make sure to tell Tiselle.

And Loo.

Don’t touch anyone in Shashaato city other than the people on the list Miyo gave.

……

That goes for you too, Youko.

「Mou, I was noticed.」

-0-

After that, we had a drink.

It’s kind of awkward seeing the little girl Miyo drinking alcohol but she’s older than me.

「I don’t drink in the city.」

Were you told by a lot of people?

「No. If they know I can drink, I’ll get more invitations to drink. Drunk guests are a pain in the ass.」

Miyo said with a troubled look on her face and Youko agreed.

I thought Youko would have a good time drinking around others?

「No no, drunks are troublesome. Whether they are guests or subordinates. No drunk subordinates are the worst. They take out their daily frustrations on me.」

Youko said so with a bitter smile on her face while Miyo nodded.

They both seem to be having a hard time.

Let’s think of something for them next time.
