Isekai Nonbiri Nouka

Chapter 304

I carved a statue of the god of creation in the workshop .

It is more than two meters tall which is slightly taller than humans .

I made it larger because it will be displayed in the church of Village Five .

I’m satisfied with the end product .

I even thought of failing in carving details when I was working on it .

Ancestor-san is looking at it with envious eyes .

No no, didn’t I already give you one when you ask me before?

「My human nature of wanting to collect everything is tingling . 」

You’re a vampire .

If you can help me transport it, how about I’ll carve you one?

Instant response .

Fortunately, I won’t have to carve it similar to this one .

Even in nature, woods don’t look the same .

Oops, I said something artist-like .

Fufufu .

「By the way, village chief, what are those?」

「Mini Kuro, Yuki, Zabuton, Cat, and wine slime . 」

「All of them looked like they were about to move . Are you making them as souvenirs?」

「No . The holy maiden of Village Five… . . I mean, Celes wants them . 」

She warned me to stop calling her holy maiden and call her Celes instead .

If you think about it, it’s only her job title .

I should reflect a little .

With the help of ancestor-san’s teleportation magic and five lizardmen, the statue of the god of creation was placed in the hall of Village Five’s church .

They were able to place it in a good location but, is it okay to put it there?

Ancestor-san said that there’s no problem since the person in charge here is Celes .

On the back of the statue of the god of creation, there are sticks arranged to look like an aura .

I properly made a hole for it .

It is similar to what you can read in manga but in this case, it’s 3D .

I was pondering if I did something superfluous but it looks mightier this way .

Ancestor-san was surprised . It looks like he has never seen something like this .

Isn’t it normal for a god to have an almighty aura?

The mini statues are not in the hall but in Celes’ private room .

They were placed in the plant box .

Indeed .

That’s a good place .

Afterwards, I observe around Village Five a little .

When we brought the unicorn here, I couldn’t bother to look around .

Village Five is more developed than before .

The high elves worked hard at the top of the hill making it a magnificent village .

What stands out are the village chief’s mansion in the north and the church next to it .

A little distance from there is the village council hall . Next to it is a large ground and a small ranch .

Next to the ranch is a trading post .

I had Youko be the person in charge of Village Five and because of that, the village chief’s mansion was called Youko’s mansion .

The teleportation gate that connects to Big Tree Village is in its basement .

Youko’s mansion is considered as the private space of the acting village chief so it is treated as a normal house .

Presently, 20 servants are working there whom Youko chose personally .

Even though they live there, the teleportation gate is a secret to them .

There are covers for that secret but it seems like the servants have never come to investigate .

Also, there are three new mercuries .

They work as Youko’s assistant too .

Hih Foguma .

A man who looks like a middle-aged veteran warrior .

He looks like someone who’d rather cut someone with a sword than talk but he’s surprisingly the scholar type .

In case of emergency, he’ll be the head of the army organized by the village .

He seems to be popular with the widows of Village Five . He was given gifts frequently .

「My stomach’s not that big yet…so」

He eats everything .

Loch Foguma

A young civil servant .

He wears glasses and he gives off the smart guy atmosphere .

When we first met, he acted cool but when I sent him to the civil servant girls to work, he collapsed .

He has a hot-blooded character .

「Please, send Miyo over . As expected, I can’t do everything on my own!」

I’m sorry, please hang in there .

Nana Foguma

At first glance, she’s an ordinary village girl .

Though I might sound rude but she’s like someone you can meet anywhere .

However, she has this amazing ability .

She has the ability to extract and process necessary information from tons of information at hand . Her intuition makes her unable to overlook important information .

She’s now based in Village Five and she will gather and organize information here .

The news and prices of crops in various places are important .

Currently, she seems to be in the process of selecting and training personnel for information gathering .

……

But why would an information gatherer need training in dagger arts?

Is it for self-defense?

Since Youko’s mansion is supposed to be a private space, Youko performs her official duties as acting village chief in the village council hall .

The village council hall consists of a large conference room and a small private room .

The small private room is Youko’s office . She handles government affairs in that room as the acting village chief .

Several men and women are working there too . They were selected by Youko to be her secretaries in Village Five .

These secretaries .

I wonder if they already have experience as secretaries . They’re amazing .

And Youko executes her job as the acting village chief way better than I thought .

Next time, let’s cook Youko’s favourite dish .

The large conference room has chairs and tables arranged in a circle . There is but one chair that is higher than the rest .

When I saw it, I thought it was Youko’s seat but that wasn’t the case .

It’s my seat .

……

On the right side is the seat of the acting village chief, the secretary guiding me explained .

Is that so?

By the way, can you humor me? Is it normal for a place like this to have a chair higher than the rest… . . no?

I see .

Let’s pray that I won’t have any opportunity to attend a meeting at the village council hall of Village Five .

There’s also a canteen in the village council hall .

The boss of the canteen here is someone who worked for Marla at Big Roof Shashaato .

「I’m still immature but please take care of me from now on . 」

The curry served is delicious enough .

The church is run by Celes and some priests .

I heard that all ceremonial rituals of Village Five were to be held here .

I know about weddings and funeral… . ah, you have something like an adulthood ceremony?

There are new year festival and harvest festival too .

It seems like the last two will be held only with the cooperation of Youko .

It will be hard but do your best .

The ground is the place where they can hold an event .

On normal days, it serves as a playground for children .

It is quite a wide place .

The small ranch is a stud farm for horses and a parking lot for carriages .

This is only temporary since we are planning to build a large ranch at the foot of the mountain… . it has already been completed .

I see .

In that case, shouldn’t I have let the unicorn stay here?

Eh?

I shouldn’t?

You were able to complete it with the help of the ranch where I left the unicorn?

Most of the horses here are also from that ranch?

Is that so?

I guess I have to go there again to say hello .

The trading post is a temporary storage and a sales place for the luggage carried by the horse-drawn carriages .

The real trading place is located at the foot of the mountain so this place is small .

At first, we thought of holding all trade transactions here but there was a concern about the slopes being too steep which is too tough for the horses .

That concern was raised by the adventurers in this area .

The upper trading post now acts more as a luggage area of traders at the foot of the mountain .

The construction speed at the side of the mountain is also comparable to the construction speed at the top of the mountain .

I guess they have a lot of manpower .

Since it is currently winter, construction seemed to have minimized to a reasonable degree… .

Still, looking from above, it is quite lively so see a lot of places under construction .

As for the current population… .

Let’s not worry about it .

I’ll leave it to Youko .

It is cold in winter but I can’t see snow which is different from Big Tree Village .

I hear that it doesn’t snow here .

It’s also not that cold .

It is a small mountain so the wind is strong .

It seems like each house has its own measure against the wind .

That’s probably the reason why doors and windows here don’t use hinges but are sliding instead .

That is true for the window but the doors are sliding doors in order for it not to block the road .

This place is on a side of a mountain so it is hard to widen the road .

I see .

It is a certain trait of a region .

Though the most prominent feature is the fall prevention fences and nets installed in various places .

Putting nets in a residential area, could it be that someone has already fallen before?

I wonder if that is the case since the color of the roofs are different .

I never received a news that someone died so I guess that person is only injured .

I hope that person is not seriously injured .

A group of horse-drawn carriages climbed up from the south side .

At the hood of the carriages lies the crest of the Goroun Company .

The carriages did not stop at the trading post but went towards Youko’s mansion .

Are they shipping the seafood from Goroun Company?

It looks like I’m going to enjoy fresh seafood tonight .

It’s cold so let’s make a hot pot .

I stopped my Village Five tour and ran after the horse-drawn carriage of the Goroun Company .

I was stopped by the guard of Youko’s mansion . He said I’m someone suspicious .

………he didn’t remember my face .

I’m a little shocked .
