Chapter 202 – The “Temporary Ass”

While all this was going on, Cruz noticed the line of golems with the lumber.

She stopped digging and ran over to us.

「Wow, you brought all that for us, Vallimie?」

「Yes. I was thinking of exchanging this seasoned lumber for some of your raw lumber.」

「That would help a lot!」

From that, she looked seriously at Vallimie, and said,

「Vallimie, I can pay you?」

「No need.」

「Really?」

「Yeah. I wasn’t planning to sell this wood for a while anyway.」

「But…」

「Cruz. You’d help me if I needed help, right?」

「Sure I would.」

「So when I need something, you can help me.」

「Ok, thanks.」

After that, the priest came out. He had finished showing the working men around.

He then proceeded to that Vallimie over and over.

「Don’t mention it.」

But he kept on thanking her until she was blushing.

「Moo moo!」

「Gawwgah!」

Moofy walked up and rubbed her snout into Vallimie.

Then Rai did the same.

「Come on, you two.」

Then Vallimie rubbed their heads.

After Cruz came over, the beasts and Timi also walked over to us.

「ryaa ryaa!」

「Shiggy, you’re covered in mud!」

「ryaa?」

If Shiggy was going to try to rub me, I was going to get mud all over.

She flew onto my shoulder and rubbed her beak on me.

My face got covered with mud.

「Wuff wuff!」

The Femm started rubbing on me as well.

I was getting covered in mud.

「PigGGi!」

Then Chel jumped on my head. I was glad I had the straw hat on.

「Heh heh heh. Al, aren’t you glad I got you those clothes?」

「Actually, I am.」

Vi-Vi looked at me with a proud smile.

「Oh well. I guess I need to clean off and take a bath.」

「ryaaa」

「You too, Chel!」

「PiggGGi!」

「Can I get in the bath with you?」Timi said.

「ryaa!」

「Hey, you don’t need to tell me no like that!」

I guess Shiggy had refused. Timi looked sad.

「You really want to take a bath with Alra that much?」

「ryaa…」

「I see…」

She looked over at me with a sad eyes.

I pretended not to notice.

While we were taking a break, Cruz and the priest were discussing the wood.

「So tomorrow we begin construction, right?」

「Yes. I hope we can get some very strong houses built quickly.」

「It’s important the help gets a place to sleep.」

After the discussion was over, Cruz came over to me.

「Al, can you help with bridge building?」

「Leave it to me.」

「Thank you!」

「You don’t need me to help with the houses?」

「We need your magic to help with bridge-making first.」

「You’re right.」

「I think the golems can help enough with the buildings.」

After hearing that, Vallimie said,

「You need me to loan you the golems?」

「It would help…can you?」

「Sure. I’ll just reduce my defensive golems to the minimum.」

「Thank you!」

The sun was going down, and we’d talk it over tomorrow.

「Well, time to go home.」

「Moo mooo」

「ryaa」

Cruz took Moofy and Shiggy and prepared to go home.

I also got ready to return back to Mulg.

Just then,

「HEY! WHO’S RESPONSIBLE HERE?!」

I heard an angry scream.
