Chapter 4: Finally Arrived at a Village

Chapter 4: Finally Arrived at a Village

Around the time sun was gradually sinking on the day I had set out from the deserted village, I caught a glimpse of a small village enclosed in a fence.

I picked up materials as I kept walking, and just when my anxiety was at its peak, I found the small village not much different in scale from the deserted one.

「Alright, I’ve finally reached a village.」

It might be because it is necessary to help each other in an environment that’s harsh to live in.

I ended up staying at Vanga-san’s house that day.

Vanga-san lives with his wife, Martha-san, and his son, Ganbo-san. It seems he has another son, but that son left the village when he became an adult.

The next morning, Vanga-san guided me towards the edge of the village.

「Sorry, but this is the only vacant lot you can build a house on right now. It’s great that it’s pretty close to the where the timber is being stored though, right?」

Vanga-san said so apologetically.

Certainly, it’s a vacant lot a bit distant from the other houses. I believe it was inevitable in this small village.

「No, I will only be staying for a short while, and I am grateful for being permitted to stay.」

「O-okay, then let’s get to building quickly?」

「Yes, please.」

The villagers, not just Vanga-san, helped, so carrying the timber finished before long.

「I will be flattening the ground.」

I then flattened the ground in the area my house would be built on with Earth Attribute Magic.

〈The 「Earth Attribute Magic」 Skill has leveled up〉

〈The 「Magic Power Manipulation 」Skill has been obtained〉

「「「「..................」」」」

「Fuuu, it took a bit more magic power than I had imagined.」

Enduring the slight dizziness of having my magic power almost run dry, I supported myself, and looked at Vanga-san and the others. Everyone’s mouths were agape.

「Ta-takumi, you are a Mage? Well, that aside, to use earth magic that way......」

「Umm, was it something unskillful? I don’t know any other Mages.」

「N-no, it’s fine. Then, everyone! Let’s divide the work and build this quickly.」

「O, oh, that’s right.」

「「Wooow! Oniichan!」」

The children seemed to be delighted, but it seems that how I used Earth Magic to build a house was sort of unconventional. I should be careful.

As for the dimensions of the house, the plan a 6-jou[3] cabin that has 2 rooms on a dirt floor and with a hearth.

It’s a small cabin so, with the villagers all helping, the exterior was almost completed by dusk.

〈The 「Carpentry」 Skill has leveled up〉

〈The 「Carpentry」Skill has been obtained〉

Until the hearth is ready, Martha-san will take care of my meals.

I will be making my furniture little by little; Tomorrow I’ll make a bed, and chop down trees to replace the amount of timber I’ve used.

Footnotes:

Vanga is read as Van-Ga.Got a better way to write ボード (I used Boud) and バーキラ (Balkyra) in english? Board and Bakira don’t sound very nice to me BrassKnight gave a bunch of suggestions. Changed to Valkyra and Bohd. Thanks1 Jou (Tatami mat) is equivalent to 1.53 m2 so it’s 9.18 m2.
