"No, you know, Shannon was sleeping. And I wasn't alone. Lucky was with me."
"That's not the point! That's not fair! I wanted to go for a walk at night too.
Next time, Shannon, we'll go together.
I'm sure you will.
Then I trained with Shannon in sword fighting, bodybuilding, and some simple magic.
Shannon could use magic too, but she wasn't very good at it.
But with that much magic, she should be a good wizard.
After a while, Mr. Gargoyle came to tell us that food was ready, so we stopped for a while and agreed to train again in the evening.
Shannon was ambitious and talented.
You have a gift I don't have and the patience to keep trying.
After a while, I might even be able to defeat Isaac.
Breakfast was a simple meal of stir-fried meat and vegetables and soup, but Mr. Gargoyle said he had made enough for everyone in the village and shared it with the other villagers.
The villagers will have to work hard today too.
Mr. Gargoyle's food was quite delicious.
The taste of 100 years of tradition.
Now, I announce to everyone what we are going to do today.
We will open the roads, collect the civets, and let the villagers work on their fields.
There is much more to be done.
On the second day, everyone is moving more smoothly.
Perhaps it is because they have eaten more food than yesterday that they are more energetic.
Thanks to Mr. Gargoyle's efforts in the morning to clear the road of obstacles, we were able to bring the civets to the market in the afternoon, and we were able to distribute a small amount of income and food to the village later that day.
I also delivered a few rainbow-colored dragonfly wings to the guild in my name, which I had hunted.
This was so that I would know the price at the time of delivery and so that I could help the villagers to buy food.
Now that Lucky has finished his work, he is going to take care of the area around the village.
The goblins have not been exterminated yet, but at least Lucky's scent around the village is enough to keep the ordinary demons away.
By night, Patra and the others have finished creating the cobblestones and Shannon says
"Wow! This cobblestone pavement is more beautiful than the one in the Royal City. I wonder how much it would normally cost to make something like this.
Patra and the others looked happy as she praised them.
Above all, I was happy to see that the people of the village and Patras were getting to know each other well.
One of the grandmothers who lived in the village said to me
"I had a scary image of demons, but Patra and her friends are good kids. And the orange of your body is so beautiful.
I was very happy to hear her praise, as if she were praising her own child.
It's nice when one's relatives are praised.
In the evening, the village chief came to my rented hut.
"Mr. Locke. Thank you very much for your help today. It's a dream come true that in two days we will have an income for our village and a road to the capital. Thank you so much. But are you sure that 10% of the village's profit is enough for such an investment?
Yes, of course. After we leave the village, please give the money to the guild and make sure it is addressed to me.
"Yes. Yes, of course. I will pay you every time.
He promised.
That night we practiced catching rainbow dragonflies to make a second income for the villagers.
We didn't even go to the dungeon now, but if the number of dragonflies increased again, they would become one of the specialties of this village.
That night we split up and collected the green frog magic stone and the orengo eggs as well.
I did not tell the villagers how to collect the Orengo eggs and the Green Frog's stone, because it is difficult for them to collect them by themselves.
As it is now, it is too much for the villagers who are defeated by goblins.
But they are good targets for adventurers, so they can be the center of attention.
I didn't get around to collecting all the wyverns, but I decided to do it the next day.
What I didn't expect was that Isaac and the others would get there sooner than I expected and I didn't expect them to do such a thing.
