Chapter 3 — Amazing Village Building
by David Smith<
Such words suddenly appeared at the edge of my vision.
“Eh? What was that just now?”
“…Luke-sama? (That look, no, it can’t be that he saw the face I made, right!? No, no, no, anything but that. If he saw that wretched face I made, he’d surely come to hate me…hmm!?)”
I didn’t know why Millia looked like she was panicking, but even more mysterious than that was the reason why those words appeared.
“Because it’s possible to make a village here.”
“Let’s see…just who are you?”
<
“I’ve never heard of such a thing though…”
“Luke-sama…? Are you…talking to yourself? Has your cruel circumstance made you go…? Luke-sama, there is no need for you to worry about a thing! For I am here by your side!”
“No, I’m fine! Completely fine! It’s just that it seems like my Gift has activated.”
I hurriedly explain as much as I could to the worried Millia in front of me.
“Let’s see… if you’re a guide, do you know what my Gift does?”
<
It would seem like the reason why my Gift hasn’t activated before was that I was in a place that already had an owner.
“Hmm, I still don’t really get it, but…I guess I should give it a try. [Yes, make a village here].”
In the next moment, the ground beneath me became perfectly leveled. This was the case within the 100m-radius circular area around me. Beyond that though, everything stayed the same.
<
I wasn’t sure what it meant, but I agreed anyways.
When I did, words appeared in my vision.
Luke’s Village
Village Level: 1
Village Points: 50 (10 points are gained per day)
Number of Villagers: 0
Village Skills: None
“What are these?”
<
“What’s this ‘village level’?”
<
“What about this ‘village points’?”
<
“Facilities?”
<
I nodded and another set of words appeared in my vision.
Shed 20
Flower bed 20
Watchtower 20
Storehouse 20
Earthwork 20
Earthen wall 20
Canal 20
Field 20
Water well 20
Small house 50
“…what is this?”
<
It was just explained to me, but I still wasn’t sure what it all meant.
There was no doubt that these facilities were necessary to my mission, but this just sounded too good to be true to me…
<
“B-but fine. If you say I should try it, then I’ll try it. Here goes nothing.”
I scanned the list again. Not all items cost the same.
While a hut would only cost 20 points to make, a small house required 50 points.
If I were to build a house, it would consume all the points I had at the moment.
So, for the sake of this experiment, I decided to make a shed instead.
And so, I selected where it would be built and then just prayed that it would work.
<<20 village points will be consumed to build a shed.>>
In the next moment, a small wooden infrastructure appeared.
““EH??””
I and Millia shouted in surprise.
“It, it really was built…?”
It was a shed, so it was rather small.
I tried to peek inside, but there was nothing at all in there. There was no bed or any furniture, there wasn’t even a single window.
Even so, now we didn’t have to worry about wind or rain so much.
If we tried to build this ourselves, it would doubtlessly taken a lot of time and effort. Plus, it might not have turned out to be as good.
“Luke-sama, is this…”
“…Yeah, it’s somehow due to my Gift.”
