'I could magically build a strong house, what would you like to do?'

　Before starting the renovations, Beramus gathered the village goblins and asked them if they wanted a new home.

"A house?
You can build a house with magic?
Yeah, I guarantee it will be a lot stronger than the house we have now.
You can make it. I want you to make it.
The house is about to collapse. The rain is not holding. The floor feels creaky.

　They're all pretty unhappy with their houses.
　They all want a new home.

　Before the house is built, Beramus will bring the orcs to the orc stronghold.

　Not to build, but to cut down nearby trees to make more land available.

　There was an axe in the orc stronghold, so I had the orcs bring it to you.
　The orcs are so strong that they chop down the trees easily.
　But there is no home in the goblin village for this many orcs, so they must return to the orc stronghold.
　It's a long walk from the orc stronghold to the goblin village, so you won't have much time to work.
　You need to build a house for Orcs to live in as soon as possible.

　By the way, the Orcs have plenty of food for us, so it will be a problem for a while.

　It's a rebuild, but we'll have to rebuild it from scratch.
　The house is pretty badly damaged, and it wasn't built well to begin with.

　The renovation method uses earth magic.

　The magic used to build the house, or rather the magic house, is called "magic house.
　It was developed by Vellums in a previous life when he was asked to make it easier to build a house.
　You can easily build a fairly strong stone house, but it consumes an enormous amount of magic.
　In the end, only those that had a lot of magic could make it, and it wasn't widely used.
　From Bellamus' point of view, it was a magic that he thought was a failure.

(Just glad I made it this time . (Can you make a house a day with your current magic power?)

　The vellums start building the house.
　First, the original house must be torn down.
　He doesn't want to spend his magic power on anything other than building a house and watering Merune and raising her growth rate, so he's asked the orcs to tear down the house as well.

　It wasn't a solid house, so the demolition would be easy.

　Once the house is demolished, we can use our magic house magic.

　First we need to build the foundation.

　After the foundation is made, the blocks are cut evenly and neatly and stacked on top of it to prevent them from collapsing.

　This process is so difficult that the house can be brittle if there is a break in concentration.
　Therefore, Vellums works his magic with great care.

　The walls are stacked and finished.
　Then he builds the roof, then the doors.

I'm done.

　It took us about two hours to make one, but we finished it.
　It's a great house made of stone.

　The goblins watched as the house was being built.

It's amazing how quickly the house came together and how nice it is, but you've got to build me a house, too.

　He was very impressed.

　The next day they started building houses the same way.

　We built ten houses in all.
　Then they built other structures as well, such as a pantry and materials storage facility.

What? This is a whole new village.
It's only for ten days.

　It took about ten days to build the whole place, and it looked like a real town.
　The goblins seemed to be a bit puzzled by the transformation.

　After that, the orcs cut down some trees to make more land available for us to use, so we built some orc houses there.

　There are 28 orcs in all.
　I built four houses. The orcs are big and they seem to be very small.
　When the land gets bigger, we'll build more houses.

　Just as we were finishing building, the meroons were ripe for eating.

Are we really going to eat them?
I told you it would be okay.

　Beramus harvests the meroons. He'll feed it to Aretha and Delarosa first.
　Aretha is far too stubborn to eat.

Thank you, Mars.

　Delarosa didn't hesitate to take a bite out of the meroon.

'Oishee.'
Really?　Doesn't your body go numb?
Yeah, not at all.

　Seeing Delarosa look completely unconcerned, Aretha also ate the meroon with trepidation.

"Ugh, this is delicious!

　Aretha tried to eat it herself and was relieved that nothing happened.
　Then she ate it with relish.

　The other goblins were hesitant at first, but eventually they all ate it with relish.

　I have some left over, so I put them in the pantry and cast a rot-proof spell to prevent them from going bad.

　Then he sowed the seeds of Merune again.

　Next, he wanted to bolster the village's defenses.
　He would create weapons, create a defensive wall, and so on, but first he decided to evolve his goblins.
