Chapter 67

The outdoor toys I made were not well received so I made indoor type of entertainment tools .

First is kendama .

You don’t have to move around and you can play it alone so it is popular .

I also tried making yoyo but I can’t balance the left and right part so I stopped .

I made a spinning top but I can’t teach others how to use it since I can’t make it spin myself .

Why does it look so easy on TV?

……… .

Oh, they were able to make it spin without me teaching them how to .

Since they are pleased, let’s a.s.sume that it is good that I made it .

I’m only making toys for beast boys, I guess I should make toys for beast girls too… .

But I can’t think of anything .

Since they are girls… . otedama?

I had Zabuton make small bags and pack them with soybeans .

Originally, it should have been azuki bean .

I feel like planting azuki beans now .

I can make thick red bean paste by using sugar and also rice cake .

Let’s get back to the story, I tied up the otedama completing it .

I made ten for now .

「So, what should we do?」

Because I was asked so, I tried juggling three otedama .

… . I can’t so I tried it again using two .

Though I was not able to do it, I at least conveyed that they should play it using three otedama .

The beast girls, onis, and high elves showed interest in it .

They were able to do it in no time, up to five otedama .

Ah, they are even juggling by pa.s.sing it with each other .

Yep, I don’t need to teach them anything .

I’ll just work hard in making more otedama .

After that, I can now see several villagers playing with my handmade toys after meal .

Aside from chess, I also made another board game, shogi .

It was received by the villagers as another version of chess .

However, it is not as popular as chess because the kuros are having problems moving its pieces .

I also made go .

I remember the rules of go

because of a popular manga series in my previous world .

Since it will be difficult to suddenly introduce a 19 grid board, the one I made only has 9 grids .

It looks appealing .

Good .

I prepared 13 grid and 19 grid boards for future use .

Now, let’s return in making toys for the beastboys, so next one is… . sugoroku?

It can also be a practice for them to read characters so it may not be a bad idea .

I prepared a large board and draw a route .

Since this is the first one, it should be simple and looks good .

After that, I made a dice and play it first .

Throw .

The beastboys are only looking at the dice .

Umu .

This is a game where you don’t need to think . You just let the dice decide everything for you… . how about teaching them chinchirorin?

TN: Chinchirorin is a gamble in which two dice are thrown into a cup, turn it down, and then open to show the number combination .

No, that’s gambling .

Currently, the villagers don’t have personal property so gambling is not established .

Gambling huh . If gambling is established because of the entertainment tools I made, should I act as the banker?

I’m the only one who can give out a prize here .

I don’t mind things staying as it is but I probably should teach them a thing or two about currency just in case we’ll use it in the future .

But it might be useless because I’m don’t even know if currency will circulate in this village .

Ah, this is something I have to think about in the future .

I managed to induce the interest of the beastboys from the dice to sugoroku and have them play it .

It seems like there is a thing similar to dice in this world .

However, it is not hexahedron but a slightly distorted polyhedron .

It is said that symbols are written on the faces instead of numbers and they are mainly used for fortune telling and magic .

It seems like it is not something the general public know of .

.

I tried various things but it is difficult to make entertainment tools .

I found out that I am not looking things from their perspective .

The one that appealed the most to the beast boys was building blocks .

Yes, that’s right .

After all, they are children .

「Village chief, though all of them are of similar sizes, are these also building blocks?」

「No, those are mah-jong tiles . 」

I tried making cards but paper here is valuable .

All of them looks the same even if you turn them inside out . It is even hard to notice the different patterns carved on their faces .

Because of that, I tried sticking clay on the back side but when it doesn’t stick on the wood anymore when the clay dries up .

I tried my best to do something with the clay but since there’s no good result, i abandoned that idea .

After completing one set, I noticed that I’m the only one who knows the rules and calculate points . It has become a decoration .

「Is the rule complicated?」

「No, you just have to remember a lot of things . 」

For the time being, I gathered those who seemed to be free and have them play with me .

…… . .

Areh?

That’s strange .

Aside from me, everyone is an amateur .

They don’t even remember all the things regarding points calculation .

But why do I feel that their tile throwing is too precise… .

I enjoyed playing mah-jong .

But I won’t tell you the result .

Thirty kuros with spiderlings on their back came back .

Five beast… . five person-like monsters were with them .

Those monsters have an upper body of a human and snake lower body, they are lamias .

Everyone of them is female… . Looking at them, I feel like they are all intellectual beauty with long hair . I’m sure gla.s.ses suits them .

I’m wondering if they could do something about their jiggling b.r.e.a.s.t.s, they don’t have any cover on their upper body .

I don’t know where to look .

In addition, their long hair covers the pointy part of their chests that makes them look

them look more erotic .

Yes, I’m sorry .

I’m trying to make an effort not to look because the gazes of the villagers are painful .

Don’t be unreasonable .

I asked the spiderlings to make a tube-type bra so that can cover their chest .

Thought it is already too late for that now, it still needs to be done .

「Are you the master of these wolves?」

「Yes . 」

As soon as I answer, the representative of the lamia bowed and the others followed .

「We surrender to the wolves . Please spare our lives . 」

Even though you said that, I don’t have any intention of killing you in the first place… .

Lamia .

The lamia I know of are evil monsters that temps humans then strangles them with their snake lower body .

「Are you monsters that predate humans?」

「W-we don’t eat humans . 」

「They are not monsters . They are demi-humans . 」

The lamia representative answered my doubtful question in a panic .

I tried inquiring more about them to Frau who was near me .

「Even though they look like that, Lamia is a demi-human race . They are not monsters . Moreover, I never heard of them having a habit of eating humans . 」

It is said that monsters can’t talk .

I agree .

「I said something rude . Please forgive me . 」

And I apologize .

I apologize for saying that they predate humans .

I should think more before I speak .

Yup .

I’ve reflected on my action .

「Then, let’s return to the topic… . you are surrendering, did you fight with the kuros?」

「They were the ones who attacked us . 」

When I tried asking more, it seems like the lamias are living in the depths of the dungeon .

Or, it can be said that they are the ruler of that dungeon .

When the kuros attacked them, they resisted for a long time… . and since they no longer have the power to, they surrendered .

「Uuhh, they are strong and tough, and they can also evade magic . Even if we climb up to a place where they can’t follow, the spiders will come at us, what the h.e.l.l

what the h.e.l.l was that?」

I’m very sorry .

However, the kuros are looking at me with faces saying “We won against the prey, praise us” .

The spiderlings are probably feeling the same .

………

I praise the 30 kuros and the spiderlings on their back .

「Good, good, good, you did it . 」

After praising them one by one, I asked questions to the lamias again in order to determine what I should do with them .

「Is the inner part of the dungeon safe? Is it possible for you to continue living there?」

「Eh? It’s safe . Though our war potential decreased, there’s not much damage since they waited for us to surrender . 」

I asked a few more question to be able to grasp their current state . It seems like their village was not destroyed but all their livestock are killed .

…… .

If it were me, if someone killed my chickens, cows, goats, and horses, I’ll go berserk .

「Do you have any hostile intention with this village?」

「We have none . We completely surrender . 」

Maa, of course they won’t . They surrendered to merely 30 kuros and spiderlings and now they can see how many of them are here .

Even if they have hostile intention, they’ll probably just keep it in their heart .

「I understand . Then, you may go . 」

「Eh?」

「Yes, you may go home . 」

「Is it alright?」

「Ah, could it be that you want to live here?」

「N-no, it will be more convenient for us to live in a cave . 」

「Then, you may return . 」

For now, because I don’t want them to bear another grudge for going here for nothing, I plan on giving them souvenirs .

Souvenirs… . is crops acceptable?

I put crops in a barrel and tried to give them as much as they can carry but I never thought that they’ll use their snake part to hold three times a normal bipedal person can .

Can they still move?

It seems like there’s no problem .

「Thank you very much . 」

I think that we just formed a friendly relations.h.i.+p with the lamias .

They are bringing something from the dungeon here from time to time to barter with our crops .
