CH 218

Planting Rito, Eve’s sister transmuted beast in Habbafulton and assimilating it into the city took longer than I expected.

In the end, we only made a very small part of it grow as buildings. Only enough to have buildings around Habbafulton placed at regular intervals that can be used in case of emergency.

The last emergency building has just finished going up.

Habbafulton has grown more than I expected. The center of town in particular has pretty much no land available.

Because of this, we had rhizome carefully stretch around the foundation of existing buildings to reinforce them against tremors.

This is all I can do in such a short amount of time. I leave the rest to Rito’s main body, and jump on top of Seilook.

Seilook spreads its wings and creates wind, that makes the hair and clothes of the citizens of Habbafulton who are watching flutter.

I hear cheers as we float towards the sky.

Ah, I see. The bamboo buildings growing around town like they’re encircling it are also a symbol that Kalin cares about this place at a time like this…

I have Seilook turn around, and wave back to the people cheering and waving at us.

I can really see it from the sky.

It’s not like everyone is now completely at ease or anything. Uncertainty still creeps inside their hearts.

They raise their voices as they cheer and praise the great hero Kalin.

It’s all to convince themselves.

Lady Kalin, the one they hold in such high regard, sent the man known as the savior of this country to build all of these buildings for them. Surely they’ll be fine, they think to themselves.

My right hand throbs.

I can feel curses pulsating from beneath this glove.

Curses react to people’s anxiety and worries. I see, now that I have the power of curses, I can understand people’s worries like they’re in my hand. I have a grasp on negative emotions used for curses. Is this a price of this power?

I clench my right hand tightly.

“It will sully Kalin’s name if we keep giving them false peace of mind. We have to take down that ‘Third Seat of Immorality’ as soon as possible.”

I rush towards Putaresque with Seilook. We have to finish our preparations before we leave for the neighboring country.
