Chapter 16: Its so delicious

Chapter 16: Its so delicious

The vegetables we just harvested was unbelievably delicious.

A-are you alright, village chief?

Ahh, excuse me. It was just so delicious, I couldnt help but shout out loud.

I apologized like that to Belrith-san who seemed startled by me.

Belrith-san, why dont you give it a try?

Alright; Ill take you up on that kind offer.

He said so and then bit onto a turnip.

In the next moment, his eyes opened widely.

Soooooooo gooooooooooooooooooodddd!!!

Our reactions were quite similar.

Certainly, freshly harvested turnips taste great, but whats with these!? Ive never had turnips this delicious

Perhaps it was because of his excitement, but Belrith-san continued to munch on the turnip as he talked.

Afterwards, we decided to hold a celebration for the successful harvest.

The just harvested vegetables were a given, but we also decided to use some of the meat of the boar and the deer that the group led by Selen managed to hunt down.

By the way, I built an outdoor kitchen for 60 points. Because we could use it not only to prepare meals for a large group but also as a place to butcher what we caught, it was quite an efficient facility.

Well then. To the successful harvest as well as new friendscheers!

Cheers!!!

I proposed a toast and everybody quickly followed.

Donga!? Are you that Donga? Its been a while!

Oh! You cant be Belrithcan you?

Donga-san was stunned.

Do you two perhaps know each other?

Yes, we do, village chief. Back in the day, Donga here frequently visited our village. Our villages had many interactions such as trade, but for Donga, the main reason for visiting our village was because he was smitten by my younger sisteralas, that love was not meant to be.

Can you not talk about the ancient past!? I may not look it, but I have a wife and children now, you know!

The two of them seemed to have quite a friendly relationship.

By the way, the younger sister in question seemed to be married to a man in another village.

Wait, if youre here does that mean your village was also

Yes, thats right. We had to leave behind our village. It was quite a harsh journey, but it came to an end a few days ago when we arrived at this village.

Still, to think there would be a village here in this wasteland

Things were simple if Belrith-sans acquaintance was among the new group.

They must be starving, so I interjected.

I think the details can wait until later. For now, would you guys like to join us? Were having a celebration for our successful harvest.

Whaare you sure?

Yes, absolutely.

Of course, no one objected to the idea. They knew firsthand the hardships the new group must have endured, so they welcomed them with warmth.
