Chapter 382 - Chapter 337 Expected and Unexpected
"Phew…"
I closed and locked the main gate of the church.
As I breathed a sigh of relief,
[Island Population Exceeds 100: Acquired 5 SP]
"Ah!"
[Gorssol] "
[Izayoi] "
[Daytron] "
[Nyx] "
etc. etc…
"Th-thanks."
Thank you. But Shou-kun, you didn't tame them, right?
"Yeah. Well, the parents and siblings of Leda and Roy were like that too, so it's not really strange, but it's probably because they came to the safe zone."
This church is within the 'Island Ancient Ruins Area', I think.
"Kuruuru~♪"
"Oh, you're giving it to me? You don't have to go to that trouble."
Is this the one I saved? I received a large chestnut (the inside, of course) from the Carbuncle.
If it's just this one… I guess I can make something for Sweee.
Shou-kun. It's almost time.
"So, that's all for today, I guess?"
[Jonafke] "
[Hajikiri] "No singing today?"
[Izpon] "
[Sack] "Is the Wednesday live stream a continuation of the exploration?"
etc. etc…
"Ah, I don't have my flute today, so no singing. What should I do next time?"
You have to go to True-kun's place, right?
"That's right. Um…"
After the previous live stream, I talked about visiting the Selkie village, and then about the collapsed cave that made it impassable.
I think that place could be fixed with [Civil Engineering] skill, but I didn't have any carpentry tools then. I also need to figure out how to prevent leaks.
"Well, I'm planning to take care of that tomorrow or the day after, so I guess Wednesday will be a continuation of the exploration?"
If Azure-san comes to the island, I'll have to guide her to the Control Room, and then going to the port would be convenient.
Since she's here, I might as well ask her to check out the Lighthouse.
[Giganot] "Whoa! I want to see that too!"
[Molto] "I want to see both!"
[Choccol] "
[Remenski] "At least a short story…"
etc. etc…
"Um, what should we do about that situation?"
I'll summarize the cooking and construction in a short video.
"Yeah, thanks."
I also need to think about what to treat True and the others to.
…
…
…
"""Good work"""
It was a different kind of live stream today, but did I do well?
Honestly, performing is more nerve-wracking…
"""Kuruuru~♪"""
"Whoops!"
The Carbuncles that had been in my hood suddenly jumped out and ran towards the Grapeful.
"Ryu~"
"~~~♪"
Pan and Sweee chased after them.
They seem to be introducing them to the Urisks and Fairies, so I'll leave it to them.
"Woof"
"Yeah. Let's have snack time. Leda and Roy, come here too."
""Bow""
They worked hard during the Smoke Serpent battle, so I should reward them. I should have some Ranziboa Bacon, so I'll wrap it with vegetables in a Tortilla.
Come to think of it, if I can make bread from Kohaku, I could make BLT sandwiches. Oh, wait, I didn't have lettuce, did I? Well, cabbage could substitute, I guess.
"Here. Good work today too."
"Woof"
""Bow""
I placed two for each on their lunch plates, and watching them eat deliciously, I also took a bite of one myself.
"~~~♪"
Sweee and Pan returned, so I gave them Torotoro Dried Papu Fruit.
"Kuruuru?"
"Whoops, Carbuncle, you too."
The Carbuncle that jumped from Pan's shoulder to my hand seemed to ask, "Can I eat it?" so I offered another one.
"Ah, yes. What is it?"
Yata-sensei, I thought he'd logged off, but he was watching the whole time?
No, he said he'd log off when he did…
Ah! I felt that too!
Eh? Is that so…
"Hmm, I don't feel much different myself…"
Really? I felt like you understood True-kun and Pan-kun's words right away.
Now that they mention it, maybe so…
It's not that I understood their words, but rather that their intentions were conveyed clearly, I guess?
"Why is that? I definitely feel like I've become better at sensing what they want to say, but I'm not sure why."
Um…
"Ah, Mion, do you have any idea?"
Well, I think it might be related to you becoming an Apostle of the Jade Goddess…
"Ah, ahhh!"
Now that she mentioned it, it did feel like it started after that happened.
I haven't really paid much attention to titles before, but I wonder if they can actually affect gameplay?
"I see. So, being able to communicate easily with fairies is because I'm an Apostle of the Jade Goddess?"
I hope so.
I made that life-sized goddess statue into Mion, and Mion is likely to become the image character for the Jade Goddess.
"~~~♪"
"Alright, alright, another helping."
Well, with Sweee, I usually understand her even without that…
[The Citron Kingdom has been founded!]
"""Eh!?"""
A nation founded… not the Necropolis, right?
If not, who would be able to found a nation… Ice Princess Anshia?
Shall I go check?
"No, it's fine. Bell-bucho and Seth will probably come, won't they? Until then, I'll continue making the stairs."
Yes.
Since the stair steps have already been made with Light Silver Steel, all that's left is to excavate holes in the cliff, insert them, and then it's done.
I'll quickly do it once Lupi and the others finish eating.
"""Thank you very much"""
I'm going to Mion's place tomorrow, so I really shouldn't overdo it.
Oh, right, come to think of it…
"For lunch tomorrow, is the stir-fried meat and eggs we talked about before okay?"
Please make Tamagoyaki too!
"Yeah, sure, but why that again…"
She apparently saw it on Seth's Saezutter, so, well, yeah.
I'm used to making it, so it's fine, but Tamagoyaki, a commoner's dish, for a young lady… White Dragon Princess Althena might like it too, I have a feeling.
…
…
…
I repeatedly inserted the steps into the cliff, carefully checking their strength. I calmed Pan and the others when they started getting restless midway, and successfully completed the stairs up the cliff. But…
"Am I the only one who wants a handrail?"
High places are scary without a handrail…
"Right?"
Sometimes there are chains instead of handrails on mountainsides, so I'll use rope for now. Chains are too troublesome to make…
Ah, but maybe it's finally time to consider breaking the cap on my Blacksmithing skill. There might be a [Self-Replication Arts] skill in the advanced tiers.
Oh, Bucho and Seth-chan are here.
"Understood. Pan, everyone can use it."
"Ryu~!"
