"Yes, it's perfect!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look at the finished inn, or rather, my newly built hideout, and I am gut-punched.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The architectural reproduction was perfect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For all intents and purposes, it was the inn where we had stayed in the city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I went inside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Passing through the entrance and behind the reception counter, there is a not so large dining area, and behind that is the kitchen and living space.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Returning to the entrance, we climbed the stairs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The staircase is well built and the building will probably not collapse suddenly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The unusually thick walls of the old hideout I had built before had been built with the danger of collapse in mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was worried that it would be vulnerable to earthquakes if I, an amateur architect, built it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think this new building was originally built by professionals in this world, so at least it is much better than what I could have built.

"But it's a bleak ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, although the new construction was completed, it was a little different from the image in my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my mind, I was trying to recreate the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In terms of architecture alone, it should have been a success.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, when considered as a dwelling, I must say that it is incomplete.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because there is no door of any kind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The entrances are left open, and there are no doors between the rooms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are no tables or shelves in the dining room or kitchen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, although the building has been recreated from the earth, there is nothing attached to the building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's the way they worked their magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess we can't afford to be extravagant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because although I had hypothesized and realized it, I never thought before that a building of this scale could be built by magic all at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll take it as a sign of my growth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I guess we'll need more than just doors..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And there are other points of concern as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The building is still a copycat of other buildings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The inns in the city were built in close proximity to other buildings, as is the fate of buildings within a walled city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, the walls of the inns were plain and unadorned, since there was another building next to the real inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the city, the side walls would not have been visible because of the other buildings, so you would not have noticed them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the land I had cleared was so large that there were no buildings next to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I might get some comments from my part-time brother about how lame it looks when I look at it from the side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe I should add a few more buildings...".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that in mind, I invoked a new spell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I build a brick wall on the side of the building to match the height of the house and surround it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This will be the sleeping place for the growing number of Valkyries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I will build the same wall on the opposite side and surround it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This wall will be used as a warehouse for storing the harvest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, although we were able to build a wall to enclose the building, we had to build the roof by hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, it is not possible to create the building itself at once only with the image in my brain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It took time to build up the bricks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The building itself was built brick by brick over a long period of time.

"Hey, Ars. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong, Dad?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You see those lumberjacks? They're very angry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had just returned home from finishing a new house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's when my father spoke to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By the way, I am thinking of moving my base to the frontier area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But for now I still go home to eat my mother's home-cooked food because I don't have any furniture or tools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As usual, I was looking forward to dinner when my father brought up the subject of trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, the people in the village who make their living as lumberjacks are getting frustrated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's the thing, he's complaining that you're knocking down trees in the forest."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The more I listened, the more I understood what the lumberjacks were trying to say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Originally, this village was surrounded by a wooden fence, and outside the fence was a forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were professionals who cut down trees there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Recently, however, the situation of the forest has changed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what I am.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Cutting down a tree is usually very hard work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The work of chopping down a tree by banging an axe against it is hard work in itself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But moving the cut tree is also hard work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I remember that in some of the logging scenes I have seen on TV, the cut tree is dropped into a flowing river and is picked up downstream.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this area is basically flat, so the trees are dragged.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am getting through such hard labor with the help of magic and the presence of the beast that I am using.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This must be unforgivable to the lumberjacks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Above all, it's a problem that directly affects their work and their earnings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is understandable that they might want to complain about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what to do. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you want to counter with a theoretical argument, you can say that the land belongs to me when I cut the trees and cultivate it, and I am free to do with the trees as long as they are mine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that would cause trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was immediately faced with the land problem.
