“Make the bandits…?”

The guide’s advice this time was so incredulous, I unconsciously repeated what it said.

I had been offering refugees the option of becoming a villager, but this was a completely different matter. These were bandits, for crying out loud. They had done various crimes, and are thus a danger to the other villagers.

“Oh, okay.”

Oh yeah, I became able to build that facility, huh.

The guide said so, but we were just a small village. There was no way we could hold a trial for each and every bandit.

Because their group did crimes all over various places, we could just send them to a lord of a territory and have that lord pass judgement on them.

However, due to the times we lived in now, banditry had become so commonplace that I feared that their group would either be executed without any trial at all or be released after some kind of deal.

“Hmm, I see…”

I still had various concerns, but for now, I decided to make them villagers as the guide advised.

“Wait, can I make them a villager even without their consent?”

“I see. That balances things, I guess.”

I decided to agree.

“Oh, another level up. Hmm, Facility Customization…?”

>

Facilities have always been built with the same design or structure. For example, earthen walls had the same height and length each time I built one, so there was nothing I could do if I wanted a wall just a tiny bit higher.

Through this skill though, I should be able to adjust those parameters, maybe even bend them and change their colors.

“Hoh, in that case, a single earthen wall will be enough to surround my village, right? I mean, I’ll just extend it as much as I have to.”

“Oh, I see…”

I examined it a bit more thoroughly.

When altering the shape of a facility, no village point is required.When removing a facility, no village point is required.When changing the colors of a facility, no village point is required.When adding something into a facility, some village points are required.

“I see. That makes more sense.”

If changed the location of a bathroom in a house or remove it entirely, I wouldn’t need to pay points. But if wanted to have two, it seemed points were necessary.

I decided to look at the finer details later, and instead try the village skill out for the moment.

Oh, before that, I better build that rehabilitation facility first.

Rehabilitating all bandits at once seemed too much, so I decided to only do so 5 at a time, starting with those who seemed to be less problematic.

“Ehehehee, why don’t you leave this to me? I’ll make honest citizens out of these brats soon enough…Ehehehee”

“““~~~~!”””

The one to nominate herself as the disciplinarian was the eldest person in the village.

The bandits winced upon hearing granny’s words…will they be alright?
