525 - - Episode 523 A Little Pride

When I went to the Adventurers' Guild training grounds to face my sins, I was comforted to know that I had settled down where I should have settled down, because the other party of my sins had run into me irretrievably.

The impact on Gina and the others, which I had been worrying about, seemed to be no problem, except for Marco. I will have a ...... thorough discussion with Marco.

Now, what shall we do?

I fulfilled my purpose in the labyrinth city, met Marie and her family, delivered food to the core of the labyrinth, did some minor things with Richey and Betty, such as a training course for spiritualists, and came to see Sarah at the labyrinth city to see Victo.

After arriving at the ruins, I greeted Mr. Victor and left Sarah with him. Belle and the others went to hunt wild boars, Gina, Marco, and Kikka went to help with the excavation, and I went with Sylphy and Moon as I had done on my previous visit.

Last time we had a leisurely tour of the ruins, and the next day we had a terrorist attack cooking a whole roasted rough bird, so this time we wanted to do something at least a little useful.

The simple solution is to help them excavate the ruins. It would be quicker if we ask Nomos to do it, but that would not be romantic, and Mr. Viktor and the others would not feel good as if they were being given alms.

It would be troublesome to divide the money among them, and I should not be involved in the excavation, even if Gina and the others are involved.

As I looked around while thinking, I noticed that the area around the site had been cleared to some extent by the excavation and daily life, and although it was surrounded by a wooden fence, the atmosphere was quite bleak.

The living space is the ruins of my first excavation and a few tents. The living space is the ruins of my first excavation and a few tents.

Improvement of the living environment......I think this is the time to use the pioneering tools.

With the recent success of the genies, nothing but magic bags see the light of day anymore.

I don't know if there is a will in their skills, but it seems as if they are appealing to us for more opportunities.

Hmmm...maybe I'll do .......

However, even if I make something that seems to be needed somehow, it doesn't mean it will be appreciated. First of all, I need to gather information.

I don't mind surprises, but if the impact is long-lasting, the user's request is important.

Oh, just in time, an old lady walked up to me.

She seems to be a talkative person, and she will be able to help you if you ask her some questions. She will be happy to help you with your daily frustrations.

****

...... got a lot of information.

It seems that auntie's son is currently in the rebellious phase, and everything he touches hurts him, but he is being depressed every day because the people around him are too strong.

I think your son is going to be a big man in the future, who is still rebelling in a space where people around him are all strong. I would have been able to turn my tail with just a little intimidation from Mr. Becker.

As for your son's older friend, he seems to be on the verge of a s*xual awakening and is in tears in this space full of men.

I feel deep sympathy for him as well, as he spends his adolescence surrounded by all kinds of men, but I can't do anything about it, so I hope he can use his imagination.

He also gave me various other information, such as the difficulty of washing clothes because of the earthworks, and the availability of ornaments of lesser value among the excavated items.

If it had not been time for meal preparation, I could have gotten much more information.

Information that is completely useless to me now. .......

I was not wrong that she seemed to be a talker, but I did not expect that from the first light question, she would start her machine gun talk and I would not get the information I needed.

She is tough.

What did Shilfi want?　But I'm proud of myself because I fought hard to get there.

Oh, there's Mr. Becker. Mr. Becker, the number two of the clan , will be able to give us the information we need.

Although he was reserved, I told him that I was doing this work as a hobby and to pass the time, and he gave me a lot of very useful information.

I wish I had sought Mr. Becker from the beginning.

Well, as it turns out, since we are in the middle of a forest where demons are found at the excavation site of an archaeological site, everything is lacking, so anything seems to please him.

At any rate, the lady said that it is hard to do laundry, and they sweat from the daily physical labor.

I think it will be difficult to have a water supply so far away from the house, so I would like to solve that problem.

So, I summoned Dine, Nomos, and Dolly.

"Yuta! You need your sister's help!"

What do you want?

"Hmm, this forest is as cozy as ever."

Deanne is very excited to be summoned for the first time in a long time, while Nomos is busy brewing sake. Dolly is very happy to be summoned to the lush forest.

"Well, I want to build a watering hole, and I need you to find a place around here where there are no ruins and where there are water veins running through. Dolly can help me move the trees in that area."

The trees can be quickly cut down with a pioneering tool and I am sure Mr. Viktor and the others will use it, but since I am under contract with the Great Spirit of the Forest and the Lower Spirits, I would like to deal with them in a way that does not harm them as much as possible.

"Hmph. I'll leave it to you, sister!"

"Hm, do you mind if we go where the ruins are crushed and there is nothing we can do?"

"......Yeah, I don't mind if it's a place that's not worth excavating."

I reply to Nomos, trying not to let my eyes get sucked into the swaying lushness of Dine, who is puffing out her chest and full of motivation.

Historical things can't be helped if they've been destroyed and there's nothing we can do about it.

There are plenty of historical relics around us, so let's just focus on living in the present.

"Here Dine, that area, and a little bit beyond it, and the other side, and the other side of the building behind it, are finished as ruins. Look for water veins nearby that could be used.

The soil rises in a heap where Nomos indicated, marking the spot. The ruins must have been destroyed within that area. It's quite a trick.

"Hmm. Nomos is impatient. I think you should be more laid back.

"I don't know anything about that."

The tempo of Deane and Nomos is totally out of sync. Well, it's not that they don't get along with each other, but they do their job well, so it's not a problem.

Deanne meditates and starts looking for a water vein.

There it is! There's a water vein running on the other side of the fence over there!

It seems that a water line runs through one of the places Nomos indicated.

Although it is on the other side of the fence, it is in the path of the site we are currently excavating, and the location is perfect.

"Yuta. Can we dig a hole to the water vein?"

"What?　No, I can take care of the rest."

Nomos tries to work quickly and hurriedly, and I stop him.

If Nomos builds a watering hole in no time, I'll have no time to kill and no pioneering tools to use.

"Hmm?　Really?　If I've done my job, I'm going home. Ah, Yuta. Come back with more liquor.

"Uh-huh. Thanks?

I was defeated by Nomos's gaze, which told me to quickly repatriate him, but I feel like I've even made him agree to more alcohol.

"Well, I'm going to ask you to move to the trees at that place. Yuta-san, how big is the area?"

The size or ...... extent of the raised soil is ...... roughly the size of a gymnasium.

The more space we have available, the better, so let's just move the whole thing.

"The whole area, please."

"Yes, sir."

Dolly lightly waves her right hand, and the plants within the designated area begin to vibrate, and eventually their roots break free of the soil and begin to walk.

Trees move with their magnificent roots, while small grasses and bushes rustle and move with a rustling sound.

The sight of various kinds of plants moving about is quite impressive and interesting.

I'd like to keep on watching, but I can hear the impatient voices of people around ......, so I guess I'll have to deal with that first.

I should have explained first before taking action.

I hurriedly call out to the people nearby, explain the situation to them, and let them know what's going on.

"Mr. Yuta!

"Master."

Even Mr. Viktor and Sara came out. Sorry to interrupt.

**

Now that I've taken the time to explain everything, let's get back on track and get to work.　　

Now it's time for the pioneering tool.

We made a lot of noise, and we didn't plan to have so many visitors, but it's not a bad thing to be able to show everyone the power of the pioneering tools.

It's a good opportunity to show off the pioneering tools.

This work is something I've done so many times in paradise that I'm tired of doing it, so I want you to see my skillful work.

I make the magic shovel huge and take it out in front of everyone's eyes.

The gallery's groans are a nice feeling.

Hmm?　......We're not being sarcastic by showing off our pioneering tools to the Victors who work hard every day excavating. ......Well, it will make their lives easier, so we'll let them swallow that.

****

The work that I have done repeatedly to the point of boredom feels different when the gallery is there.

We scoop up the dirt with a huge shovel and store it in a magic bag.

Rocks are taken out to reinforce the waterhole, and the magic saw and the magic survival knife are used to cut them into pieces.

Digging furiously with a hand auger.

Each one was greeted with amazement, and the waterhole was completed before dark.

It's a couple of times smaller than the spring we built in Paradise, but a spring of this size should provide plenty of water.

（Dine. Can you adjust it so that the water stays at a certain height?)

"Yes, I can!"　

Deane nods confidently. As one would expect from a great spirit of water, she is dependable even in her loose and fluffy way.

（Well then, please set the water level at about half the level of the rock above.)

"Mmm-hmm. Leave it to me. Come on!"

At the same time as Deane's call, a pillar of water bursts forth and screams, not cheers, are heard from the surrounding area.

......I remember it was like this when the fountain was completed in Paradise.

Maybe we should have asked the water to slowly fill up.

......At any rate, now that the fountain is completed, let's let everyone enjoy it and let's get this all out of the way.
