Checking on the Village

Id tried out [Summon Gargoyle].

What about the other magics though? [Healing] for example.

Oh light, cure my headache[Healing].

A faint light covered my head Ah, it worked.

Goshujin-sama? Wouldnt itve been better to use that earlier?

Yeah, probably. I keep forgetting to use it since Im not that used to it I should rely on magic more.

Dont ya already? I also forget to use em though.

Just one. Ive only been using [Create Golem]~

Looks like theres no problem with my magical power now, so lets resume the investigation!

Putting aside [Ice Bolt] since its an offensive-type magic, lets look at [Grow Weed].

Frankly, magic that helps out daily life are more useful to alter.

I went to the garden with Ichika.

Oh tomatoes, grow and bear fruit[Grow Weed]!

I changed the incantation so much that it doesnt even look like a prototype, but the tomatoes grew, bloomed flowers, and bore fruit it was fertilized instantly? I thought about it for a sec but decided to not worry about it.

I took one of the fresh red tomatoes that sprouted and tried taking a bite.

Bleck!

Its a tomato, but the textures like its dried out. The taste is super thin too. Its like eating sand.

They look like perfectly edible tomatoes though

Its no good. Itd only be usable for emergency food.

Ehhh, let me try too, Goshujin-sama aah, its pretty bad.

Sure its not the worst?

Goshujin-sama. Theres still a lot worse than this out there yknow?

The food-experienced Ichikas pretty convincing when it comes to food.

Ah, you can eat the rest.

Seriously? With my mouth?

Mm? What do you mean? Theyre tomatoes.

I had Ichika eat the no-good tomatoes for now and moved on to the next trial.

Tomatoes mightve turned out bad since theyre fruit. What about vegetables though?

Oh cabbage, grow[Grow Weed].

A good-looking cabbage popped up from using [Grow Weed].

I peeled off two or three leaves that looked edible from the outside of it and popped one in my mouth.

Biting into itah, amazing. Its paper. Im eating paper. Im a human shredder.

I might even be a goat!

[Grow Weed] is a no-go for vegetables too. Gross.

Unfortunate~

Well, Ichika can take care of the rest

Seriously? With my mouth?

Its just a vegetable, you can do it. Ill give you some curry bread later.

Understood, I forgive you!

Whatre you forgiving?

Well, its not like Im saying to just go and eat it all is! You could go and have Kinue-san season it you know? You could even try seeing if curry powder makes it any better.

Wouldve been great if you said that sooner! I ate another tomato

Ichikas strong point is that you dont waste food. Seriously, youre a good woman.

If thats the case, Id be happy if Goshujin-sama helped dealing with the cabbage too. A full ones a bit much yeah?

It couldnt be helped, so I decided to help out. I gave the paper-like cabbage to Kinue-san it was unexpectedly edible when she seasoned it, I was surprised.

I decided to ask Kinue-san for her opinion while shes here.

[Grow Weed] its a magic that seems like it would be good for grooming a lawn. Wouldnt it be useful if it was used for something other than eating? Hiding pathways with grass, for example.

Hoh, thats a good idea. Lets go with that.

A room full of ivy with so much grass that you couldnt make it through without having to push your way through the grass, that might be a good idea. For an underwater room, I could use stuff like brown seaweed or kelp.

Fufufu, I didnt expect Kinue-san to be such a good tactician.

Ah, come to think of it, I havent seen Rei around did something happen?

Rei is off duty right now, I believe shes considering how to use the 50,000 DP she was given charge of from master by searching through the catalog.

She still hasnt used it? Well, itll be her first subordinate after all.

Its fine if she takes her time thinking about itwait, hold up. Were absent because of the Dungeon Battle, that DP was to use for replenishing the lack of personnel. Why hasnt she used it yet?

Is the inn alright? For staffing I mean.

Yes, its alright. There is no need for master to worry about it.

If youre sure, alright then. Ill believe you and leave it to you all. And tell Rei to use that DP soon.

Certainly.

She said theyre alright, but Im a bit uneasy wondering if theyre really alright Well, I did leave it to them, so lets not say too much about it.

Its alright as long as nothing happens with the dungeon.

Is stuff other than the inn going well? Are there any problems that cant be dealt with without the village chief?

The village sub-chief has the permission to give the OK on anything other than the inn and the Dyne Firm thats responsible for fund management has been doing well, so there are no problems. Regarding land reclamation and the highways development, they are progressing smoothly as a public works project by cooperating with the Adventurer Guild.

Umm, what? Reclamation? There are more people here?

Yes, the dungeons domain has been extended according to the plan of development as well.

Ah, okay.

Come to think of it, I did give them the authority to use the menu didnt I?

So there are more people here now our DP income increased.

It was a bit late to ask, but when I asked if there were any problems with waste management, she just responded by saying that it was alright so long as they could put it in the dungeon to disappear by itself. Now that you mention it, thats right huh. Trash, even corpses, are just food to a dungeon.

Having a dungeon attached to a human village is like having a perfect waste management system.

Even though Im not really doing anything, it looks like there arent any issues.

If I had to say something, itd be me worrying about whether or not were standing out from getting a bit too large or something.

For any problems concerning food problems, there are [Jellies] loitered about inside the dungeon for emergencies, but even then, theres plenty of flour stored in the first place.

If there are more people here now, maybe its a good idea to add more Iron Golem Spawners?

How should I say this um, Im glad to have such excellent subordinates.

Thank you for the compliment, master.

Now then, guess its about time I focus on the Dungeon Battle.

Lets make a ton of Blade Golems.
