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 shifts .

Everything went well with the watchtower and patrols because we were able to get the people who werent doing anything to help out by saying that everybody else is doing it as well . Whats more, it didnt even have to cost us anything .

As our fields increased even more, they started saying,

It doesnt matter whether theyre 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 havent been causing us any problems for now so thats good as well .

And thus, while the snow was falling, the end of the year festival was held . This one hasnt caused any particular problems as well .

Hey, Caam . You were asked to participate with the village meeting right? Ah, yeah . I was asked to attend for some reason . Its a terrible story you know? Still, its somewhat amazing that the things you said could have affected the village Un un

Everyone here has learned from their previous experiences since theyre 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, its 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 canals dont reach that far so we wont be able to supply water there . Theres 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 . Well 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 butchers or other shops at the center of the village? People would just say, Then, why dont we add another butchers 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 its 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

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

The area around here consists of plains so there are no large mountains and rivers . As far as I know, we dont experience heavy rains as well so flood control isnt necessary and building a dam small enough for irrigation is enough . Even the dam isnt really necessary, just roads that can be accessed by carriages is enough Y-yeah Another problem is the damage caused by insects and repeated cultivation . To revitalize the exhausted fields, well have to plant clovers while adding animal excrement and humus to the soil . We can also use the clovers as feed for the cattle . We wont be able to use the fields when we plant those so we can do beekeeping for the mean time . Im only going to copy what Ive seen so I wonder if Ill be able to make those frames correctly . Buckwheat would be nice too . Ergot in wheat is scary so it would be better to produce buckwheat . Having rice would have been perfect but I havent seen any paddy fields around this area . Rice is really resilient so you dont need

Okay! We understand thats why you should just drink for today! Drink quickly! Drink a lot! Youre already tired, you know! You dont have to think about those things, okay? Were sorry that we interrupted your story but why dont we just drink for today? Th-thats right . Theres no need for you to think about such things even now, you know? Theyre right . Thats why you should drink . Ill go and get even more bar snacks

It guess I was really tired since Ive been worrying about a lot of things lately . Regaining my composure, I thought it was strange that all of the noise around us was gone . When I looked around, I noticed that everyone was looking at us . It seems like while I was letting out my complaints, everyone else stopped what they were doing and started listening in .

Come to think of it, Speck . How was it with Tryapka-san? It seems like you hated it at first Hmm got used to her . Shes not a bad person . She has that overbearing side to her though I mean, didnt you look a bit dreary after the harvest festival? Was it that unpleasant? That was Well, she was a bit forceful so I was overwhelmed . That doesnt mean I hated it, you know?Un I see . Well, thats fine as long as you didnt dislike it . If ever you need help with anything, feel free to ask us okay? Thanks

Forceful, huh I can sort of imagine . Her appearance is that of a maid(She also has some clothes allows easier movement) but aside from that, theres an assailant1 aspect to her as well . I can tell since I still have my memories from the previous life . Thank god Granade-san2 isnt like that as well .

The usual female group has added Tryapka-san as well but there are no particular changes within their group . Or rather, I just learned that shes only three years older than us .

Me? When I finished school, I decided to work here as a janitor thats why Im not much different from everybody else

Was what she said with a smile . I really cant tell the age of the demonkin in this world based on their appearance . The humans definitely age normally, right? Ive been here for seven years but still havent seen any .

Like the last time, when they started getting drunk, the female group came over our table and sat next to the person theyre going out with . Of course, larger portions of meat was pilled up in front of me .

And as expected, the conversation ended up being about me .

Caam participated in the adults meeting and increased the number of wells among other things right? Well, I would not have been able to do it if I was alone The magic for plowing the fields is amazing you know? Im pretty sure that once they grasp the trick and they can use earth magic then anyone can do it Chicken coop expansion . Ducks, tasty? If tasty, want to make pond in garden I havent eaten anything other than chickens, you know? Although Ive heard that it has a slightly different taste . Rather than grilling it, wouldnt it be better to boil it in a soup?

When talking about ducks, all I can think about is Kamo nanban . And while we were in the midst of our conversation, Tryapka-san was constantly stroking and patting Specks head . This person is just as indifferent as always .

Isnt it just fine that the number of villagers increased and the adults happy! The problems havent occurred yet as well Thats right . There are thieves and slightly uncontrollable persons within the new villagers but theyre still properly behaving for now Its just scary at first but everyone is a nice person, you know? Its only because the people who came here were from the slums and low-class districts who were having trouble finding work, right? They probably couldnt afford to be complacent . The people from the village are kind so I wonder if thatll cause them to open up their hearts Well, even if problems do arise, that no longer has anything to do with me

Drinking until we were drunk, I noticed that Suzuran wasnt impatient this time . It didnt seem like she was being greedy today so that thing most probably wont be happening . The other pairs were quite in a hurry to leave though .

Because of that, we didnt have anything in particular to talk about so we just leisurely continued to drink until morning .

Incidentally, we ran out of karaage while we were drinking . Because of that, Suzuran hurriedly went out in the middle of the night to strangle a chicken . I didnt think that I would be forced to help out in the end though .

TL: Should I actually change the MCs name from Caam to Calm just like how God(the author) intended it to be? Vote .

Footnotes: 1 . In the LN shes called an oneshota who attacks cute boys 2 . If you forgot, shes the manly cyclops girl
