Chapter 313 - Various Promises
I returned to the resting spot behind the church…
"~~~!"
"Oh, sorry, sorry. Reward dessert, right?"
Since the raisin ice cream was ready, I scooped it onto wooden plates and arranged small spoons. Sweee and the Fairies swarmed it all at once.
"~~~♪"
Sweee took the first bite and made a silly face. Where was the Queen's dignity?
For Lupi, Leda, and Roy, I gave them freshly picked Lycos (tomatoes) sprinkled with sugar.
While watching everyone eat with enjoyment, I looked towards the cliff.
"They could go up there, huh?"
We should go check it out.
[Matchiru] "I wonder if there's a Urisk village?"
[Mushinko] "I'm curious~"
[Jonto] "Well, well, let's relax today~♪"
[Rumamil] "First, we need to build friendly relations, right?"
etc. etc...
If the Urisks want to live quietly, I don't want to force myself on them, but if they're friendly, I'd like to visit.
But,
"How should I climb that cliff?"
[Mayutan] "A safe bet would be a ladder?"
[Vitamin] "With Shou-kun's [Woodcraft] skill, a ladder should be easy, right?"
[Banjo] "If we're going back and forth often, stairs would be good."
[Subrock] "It'd be nice to have stairs along the cliff."
etc. etc...
The quickest way would probably be a ladder? A foldable one, considering portability?
After that, if we start going back and forth frequently, I'll have to consider stairs.
First, how about making a ladder?
"You're right. A ladder would be useful elsewhere too, and if possible, I'd like to make a foldable one."
[Kusho] "I have a feeling it'll be another amazing ladder..."
[Minsel] "Huh? Foldable?"
[Nelson] "A big flag has appeared!"
[Grand] "Like [Climbing] +1 or something? lol"
etc. etc...
Even when I say foldable, I don't mean a complicated sliding mechanism, but rather a bi-fold or quad-fold with hinges.
If I'm adding hinges, it seems better to make it from iron, but that would make it heavy…
Oh, come to think of it,
"Did we talk about being able to mine other metals at the mining site during the stream?"
Ah, maybe not...
The comment section started flowing incredibly fast at that topic.
I explained that even though I said 'other metals,' it wasn't about being able to make some amazing magic metal even better than Mithril.
When I said that the mining site could be set to yield gold, silver, copper, and Light Silver ores, in addition to iron and Mithril, things got crazy again…
Apparently, gold is particularly rare and hard to find even on the mainland.
"Huh~, I had no idea..."
Money has no meaning on the island, does it?
"Yeah, you're right~. Maybe make gold leaf and put it on wooden statues?"
[Runedo] "Another wild idea lol"
[Molto] "I see. Gold leaf..."
[Kiraru] "Shou-kun is becoming a Buddha sculptor. Oh wait, he already was lol"
[Yunosuke] "The artisans have started warming up."
etc. etc...
I guess I can leave the gold matters to the viewers?
As for me,
It seems the Mithril ore deposit will be revived by tomorrow, right?
"Yeah. And with that, I want to make a new Round Shield."
As I watched the comments scroll by, I still felt a little guilty that Mithril ore seemed to be quite rare on the mainland.
After that, we talked about how if Light Silver was aluminum, I could make light tableware and cooking utensils, and then it was almost time for the extended session to end…
"Woof!"
"Hm?"
Lupi stood up straight and looked towards the cliff.
"Eeeeh…"
The Urisks are here!
[Bearmen] "They're here~~~♪"
[Shumei] "So many! So many!"
[Rossan] "Shou-kun, is he running the biggest guild now? lol"
[Kusho] "A chance to gain island residents all at once!"
etc. etc...
What came trooping in were the Urisks from before… I wonder how many there are.
The one kneeling at the very front, I guess that's the chieftain of these Urisks? Compared to the other Urisks, his body and horns are a little larger.
"Um…"
Since they all came, it means they'll become island residents, just like with the Selkies, right? The chieftain seems to be waiting for my action.
I probably need to do something, but with True, it was a high-five, so does joining hands mean it's established?
"Nice to meet you all from now on?"
"Ryu!"
The Urisk chieftain placed his hand on my outstretched right palm.
[Urisk Guardian: Acquired 3 SP]
Congratulations!
"Oh, yeah, thanks. Um…"
Checking the menu, the number of island residents was 92.
It was 56 before, so that means an increase of 36.
Well, there's no point worrying about the details anymore.
Shou-kun, why don't we give the Urisk leader a name?
"Huh? Oh, Mion, you're thinking of one?"
Yes!
Mion seemed completely set on it, but still, I should get their consent first for something like this, right?
It was the same with True, so I'll have Sweee confirm.
"Ryu!"
"~~~♪"
It's like, "Please do!" The Urisk smiled broadly, and the Queen gave a thumbs-up in return. So, Mion-sensei, please.
How about Pan?
"Okay! Your name is 'Pan', nice to meet you!"
"Ryu!"
His crisp reply was reassuring.
[Urisk (Chieftain): Pan: Trust]
Trust is a bit different, huh?
In any case, I'm glad they became island residents.
That means I need to do my part properly.
[DS] "Nice, nice!"
[Ashleaf] "From Greek mythology, perhaps?"
[Lucol] "Pan-kun is so cute~"
[Kankampo] "A different type from True-kun!"
etc. etc...
The comment section also seemed satisfied with Mion's naming, which was good.
But that's all well and good…
"~~~?"
"Huh? You want me to say something?"
Sweee nodded, but I was troubled. And, can she even understand me?
But, I glanced around at the Urisks… and saw expectant gazes.
A single word, a single word, huh…
"Um, well, I want to live a relaxed and enjoyable life on this island, so I'd be happy if everyone else does too. Let's help each other out with any troubles!"
"Wooooooof!"
"Awooo!"
Triggered by Lupi's howl, Leda and Roy barked.
The Fairies and Urisks started dancing in a circle, becoming more and more chaotic…
"~~~♪"
"Ryuryu~♪"
[Daytron] "
[Premal] "
[Bluesha] "
[Shakeena] "
etc. etc...
Super chats were flying like crazy, too. How am I supposed to bring order to this…?
