Chapter 512.1

At the Planned Stadium Construction Site

A few days after my visit to the training ground, I was at Rogard Empire again, this time to visit the stadium that was still under construction.

After exiting the imperial castle by the door, I flew a little towards the stadium, and soon I heard the sound of hammering, men shouting, and even the sound of some kind of large machine or rather, something that looked like a large magical tool being moved.

I could feel the energy and enthusiasm of the workers.

Okay, put that construction material over there. You idiot, thats not the right order! Its a big building. If you make a mistake in one place, everything you do above will be wrong! Be careful.

Among them, the one who was directing the construction work, with his voice one level higher than the rest, was the Dwarf King Doda.

He was responsible for the construction of this stadium.

The construction was led by the dwarves, but the king of the dwarves also came personally and organized all the craftsmen together.

Moreover, since the start of the stadium construction, he had not returned to his village even once, but stayed overnight and continued to work on the stadium.

He told me, It has been a while since I had my craftsmans blood boiling with joy to the point that I couldnt help but continue working. This is such a happy workday! while laughing loudly.

The human, beastman, and demon craftsmen who were working with the dwarves were also surprisingly skillful. I couldnt help but think,

These craftsmen are really spectacular.

I didnt want to mention this, but one of the human craftsmen said, This is a shameful thing to say, but we alone would not have been able to achieve this fantastic construction speed.

It couldnt be helped because it was only with the help of the Dwarves that they were able to build the stadium at such ridiculous speed.

One of the Dwarf craftsmen chuckled and told the human, Im glad you appreciate it, butI have to tell you that we can only build at such a speed, perfectly and to the last detail, when

that

person is responsible for the project.

The Dwarf King Doda supervised the entire project. He could spot differences in the progress instantly, efficiently allocate work, perfectly grasp the consumption of materials, look for wear and tear of tools. He basically made sure everything was being done as effectively and efficiently as possible.

One of the craftsmen told me before that the King was able to work things that way because he already had a clear picture in his mind of what he expected the work would look like when it was completed.

And that the King was also the best craftsman in the Dwarves, so I was amazed.

His main job should be a blacksmith, not a carpenterbut anyway, he must simply be good at making anything in general.

I called out to the Dwarf King when I was sure I was not interrupting his work.

Hey, still working tirelessly, arent you?

Oh? if it isnt Yuki! Im glad to see you in good health. (Dwarf King)

You too. Its interesting to come back here after a while and check the changes in how it looks compared to before.

Well, we are honored to be a part of such interesting architecture. So, whats up today? (Dwarf King)

Nothing much, I simply wanted to see whats new here. I brought you some food. The cooks at the castle did a great job cooking, so there should be enough for everyone.

I opened my item box, set up a few tables, put three big pots of hot food on them, and prepared as many plates and spoons as I could find.

It was for several hundred people, so the number of plates alone was enormous.

Oh, thank you! It smells so good! All right, boys, time for a break!

The Dwarf Kings thunderous shout halted the work at once, and the craftsmen gathered at our location.

Hmmm, it appears that he was perfectly leading the people here.

After they gathered, the Dwarf King gave them quick instructions, and they soon created a system to serve food and distribute it to everyone.

After everyone expressed their thanks to me in a loud, wild voice, they started to eat.

Whats this, yummy! This is delicious!

I never thought I would find food like this here.

This might be the best food Ive ever had in my life.

I think Im going to cry a little.

The castles cooks the Court Chefs, in other words prepared beef stew.

The ingredients were mainly meat from monsters I hunted in the Demon Forest, so there was no doubt that it was, in fact, a dish made with plenty of top-quality ingredients.

And so, while the craftsmen were gorging themselves on the food and recharging their spirits, I exchanged a few words with the Dwarf King.

Ah, I almost forgot. Enne, the old man Dwarf King is here. Say h.e.l.lo.

I took Ennes main body out of my item box, and Enne immediately transformed into human as she appeared, bowing a little to the Dwarf King.

h.e.l.lo, Uncle. (Enne)

Oh, Young Lady Zaien! As usual, your appearance is quite astonis.h.i.+ng, but Im glad to see that youre doing well. Are you eating well? (Dwarf King)

Hmyes. Im eating a lot and working out a lot.

The Dwarf King patted Enne on the head, looking at her with the eyes of a grandfather looking at his grandchildren.

Children are good, arent they? Hopefully, this compet.i.tion will lead to a good future for them.

Yes, I agree. Thats part of our goal in completing this structure and event.

The Dwarf King, as I remember, was childless.

He did have a wife, and in fact, I greeted her once before when I visited the Dwarf Village From the looks of it, I could tell that his wife also loved children, so there must be a reason why they didnt have any.

It might be something I shouldnt ask lightly, you know.
