Chapter 23: Village's Problem

Riku blinked in surprise, not expecting the response he received from lady Arisu.

"W-Wait... W-Why can't I be a warrior in your village?" he stammered, his eyes wide with confusion.

"I'm not saying that you can't be a warrior in the Arzotoc village; the training is too difficult for someone like you, and we can't say when the guards will harass you," Arisu explained before taking a seat on the bed.

It was not easy to become a guard in this village. Since a specific person should have a year of preparation to condition your body and mind. Arisu provided him with this information.

Why, he wondered, were the guards so easily defeated by the mythical beasts if they had undergone such rigorous training? Something was wrong with them.

Nonetheless, his current problem was persuading her. He needs to do something to fortify himself in this strange world while also finding his way back home.

She approached Riku after noticing he was silent. "Don't take it seriously, Riku; I'm just avoiding the worst-case scenario that might happen to you."

"I disagree, lady Arisu; I'd like to learn how to protect myself," he said solemnly, looking at her as if telling her he was fully committed to doing so.

Arisu noticed the white, slender mana spreading throughout his body. 'Does this woman not know how to lie?' 'She thought to herself as she asked him another question. "Tell me, Riku, why do you suddenly want to be a guard in this village?"

"I have no reason, lady Arisu; I just felt compelled to do it, and I can also be useful because I'm familiar with the other monsters," he replied nonchalantly.

His response surprised her. Did he want to be a guard just for the sake of being a guard? The majority of Arzotoc's Guard desired a high position in this village, while others desired to earn gold.

She rubbed her chin, her gaze narrowed on the man seated on the fluffy bed. 'Hmm... This man is only at a low level, but with proper training, he may be able to reach the warrior level.'

After that, a new thought occurred to her. "Given that you know how to defeat a monster, why don't you apply to be a tactician?"

Arzotoc village only had a few tacticians. Why? Because there was one who devised all of the strategies for winning the fight. Furthermore, it comes with a lot of responsibilities.

Tactician? This can assist him in training the muscle in his brain that caused him to consider how to solve the given situation. But this was not his style, or to put it simply, he desired to strengthen his body in order to be a better vessel for the genes of any type of monster.

"I'm sorry for declining your suggestion because I'm really into being a guard, but I can help you defeat a certain monster by giving you the information that I have," Riku said persuasively.

Arisu let out a deep sigh and said. "Are you sure about this, Riku? I did everything I could to avoid putting you in a dangerous situation, but you chose it."

"This is what I am, lady Arisu," Riku chuckled, "but thank you for always helping me."

After this man laughed in front of him, Arisu felt something in her chest. 'He's the first person to laugh beside me...' She clutched her chest, puzzled as to why her heart was racing so fast.

She cleared her throat, assuming she was simply ecstatic about the situation. "I'll ask the commander to add your name to the list for the new applicant; it's supposed to be next week, so get ready," she stuttered as Riku smiled brightly in front of her.

"Thank you so much, lady Arisu; I'll cherish the time I've spent with you," Riku said as he bowed his head, unaware that his head was closer to Arisu's thigh.

"Ehem! Ehem! Riku, I think it's time for me to leave your room, because the maid would have other ideas if I stayed any longer, and we need to go to the library to do your first in-invention," she said, her face flushed as Riku's black long hair tickled her.

He pushed himself into a stood-up position. "If you say so... But, before that, I want to ask you something so I have an idea what the first item I'll build."

It piqued her attention, so her heart and face went back to their original state. "What is it, Riku?"

"For my first invention, I'd like to create something that will be useful to this village."

Riku's first invention in this world appears to be dependent on what the main problem of this village was. For him, it was a well-thought-out plan. Why? The villagers would easily recognize him and his works if he did this.

To be more specific, Riku desired to create an item, and when the villagers saw it, they simply stated that it was created by "Riku Hirota."

"Something like... the most need of this village?"

He nodded, hoping that their village doesn't require a power plant or electricity because it must have taken a long time to build.

Arisu was deep in thought when she recalled that they were running out of water due to the extreme heat.

"Our farmers were having difficulty harvesting their plant in the western part of our village; could you help?"

The issue in this village was not one of technology, as he had mentioned to her. Regardless, he should do something to demonstrate his abilities.

In the current year, where did he come from? The farmer was the highest-paid second to become mutant because it was difficult to grow vegetables because the monsters were constantly destroying them.

'I know exactly what I needed to do to assist them. 'I should also do some research on how the two pillars will fall again,' he said to himself, then changed clothes.

He must be cautious of the sun, as it can cause far more harm now than it did the first time the system alerted him.

"What do you mean? He's still wearing it."
