h.e.l.lo (￣▽￣)ノ

I’m an idiot… Twenty-two chapters later and I just realized that I haven’t said anything about supporting the author . Let me fix that right now .

Support the author by buying the light novels on or . You can also use the ISBN to search for it on other stores: Vol . 1: 9784896375572 Vol . 2: 9784896375909 Vol . 3: 9784896376333

I also wrote that on the TOC . I’ve only bought the first volume myself since I’m poor… I bought two though, one for reading and the other for display .

The ill.u.s.trations posted here aren’t mine though…

Chapter 22: That time when everything has somehow turned out well

By the time winter came, they have already started reinforcing the insides of the wells I dug up with stones and fences for the completed fields were being made . The watch tower was finished and we got someone to stand as a look out . We also made the members of the vigilante corps patrol the town in s.h.i.+fts .

Everything went well with the watchtower and patrols because we were able to get the people who weren’t doing anything to help out by saying that everybody else is doing it as well . What’s more, it didn’t even have to cost us anything .

As our fields increased even more, they started saying,

「It doesn’t matter whether they’re originally from the town or from the village, you better start getting someone to manage it」

With that said, the freshly recruited villagers have already started socializing with the other people in the village . The would-be minor offenses bunch haven’t been causing us any problems for now so that’s good as well .

And thus, while the snow was falling, the end of the year festival was held . This one hasn’t caused any particular problems as well .

「Hey, Caam . You were asked to partic.i.p.ate with the village meeting right?」 「Ah, yeah . I was asked to attend for some reason . It’s a terrible story you know?」 「Still, it’s somewhat amazing that the things you said could have affected the village」 「Un un」

Everyone here has learned from their previous experiences since they’re no longer drinking without restraint .

Well, I was just applying common knowledge from my previous life in this world . I also did it when I created the well digging magic .

「The problem is that the village chief was being way too hasty that it would have been a disaster if, for some reason, we had to stop increasing the number of fields」 「Was it a problematic to increase the number of the fields?」

Wurst and Speck looked like they were really interested as they waited for my reply . What are you expecting from me?

「Well, it’s just that increasing them would only makes managing things even more bothersome . If we extend our fields, we would have to increase the number of patrols as well as the watchtowers . The ca.n.a.ls don’t reach that far so we won’t be able to supply water there . There’s also the fact that having to walk that far to reach the fields is just a pain so we also have to construct houses near the fields . We’ll also have to increase the number of wells if we did that . What if the people living near the fields need to do some shopping at the butcher’s or other shops at the center of the village? People would just say, “Then, why don’t we add another butcher’s shop . We could also add another tavern as well” . However, if we did that then the things we would have to add will gradually pile up and eventually the isolated parts of the village would multiply . They would almost be like another community, I guess . 」 「O, oh」 「Un?」 「Well, when it comes to extending the fields, I think it’s better if we just build five to ten houses that will be placed in a single area, dig a well and gather a group that will stay there and be the one to manage that area . But still, if we did that then it will cause us plenty of troubles the next time we decide to extend our fields」

I’m not drunk but as I continue drinking, the things that I’m talking about is starting to turn into complaints .
