　I was carrying a bundle of lumber on my shoulder.

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

Road clearing?

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

　It's the work to make the road easy for people and wagons to pass.

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

　He nodded at my words and continued to explain.

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

We're a little shorthanded. The young guy who recently joined us is a bit gutless, so the work is running a bit behind.

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

If that's the case, I'll take care of it.

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

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

　As we walk, I look in the other direction and see Mr. Ark cooking food in a large pot.

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

　He is helping to cook meals for the people working here ......, and as if by surprise, the women of the demon tribe who were in charge of cooking are gathered around him.

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

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

"Yes. Linka and everyone in the village will be happy to see you.

Well, is this it?

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

　We find a half-built road at the end of a plot of unfinished buildings.

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

　Ahead of the road, there was a deep forest, and in front of it, there were soldiers of the demon tribe who were watching for any attacks by demons.

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

"I see, they are expanding the town little by little."

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

"Will they build an outer wall when it's finished?"

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

　This indicates that the city is still a work in progress.

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

　Then I should do my best to be a part of it.

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

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!

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

　I laugh and explain how I came here to the man who turns pale when he sees me.

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

　He nodded his head in understanding, though still awkwardly, as if he had cooled down a bit.

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

"Well, if that's the way it is, I understand. Are you harmless?　I know you're ......, but!　Don't cause problems!

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

I'll take care of it.

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

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

　I'm not going to cause any trouble.

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

　I nodded to the man who was pulling away from me, and as I was about to carry the hoe forward, I saw a familiar face in my field of vision.

　Two demon boys look at me and drop the hoe in their hands.

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

　I look at them, one with dull blond hair and the other with gray hair almost black, and I remember.

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

"You two were in the first day of training, weren't you?"

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

　Two young boys from a bad-looking tribe of demons who arrived on the first day of training for the unit.

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

　I remember them well, the way they sneered at me and spat at Keira.

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

　Well, they were gone by the second day.

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

"You've got the wrong guy!

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

We haven't done anything wrong!

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

　But I'm afraid we've traumatized them.

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

　They think it's someone else's fault, but it's my fault.

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

"Don't be afraid. I have already forgiven you for what happened.

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

""What?""

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

　They are sorry and above all, Keira has forgiven them, so I don't intend to do anything more about it.

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

　...... Well, as far as I'm concerned, I was just doing the training I was supposed to do the next day.

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

"Are you working here after that?"

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

"Hi,......I volunteered for the corps just for fun and my mom got really mad at me and asked me to help out here,......."

"Me too. ......"

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

　I kind of guessed it was just for fun, but ...... that's how it happened.

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

　I guess the work is digging up the ground and making a path?　It would be better if they could do it with earth magic, but it seems they don't even have enough people to use it.

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

"Okay, I've been assigned to help out here, so let's do it together.

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

"No, sir?"

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

"No, I don't mind. We are almost the same age, and you are more senior to me than I am to you.

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

　I would rather be a liability to you if I don't know the work.

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

　But since I said I would help, I have to do it right.

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

I'll be watching closely.

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

"Yeah."

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

　As soon as Amako moves a little distance away from me, I raise my hoe and slam it into the ground.

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

"Nuh!"

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

　I put another force on the hoe, which is now deeply in the ground, and dig it up.

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

　---I see, the load on my arms, my back, and my whole body...

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

"Interesting ......!"

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

"Hey, what's the point?"

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

　I swing my hoe through the sound of Neah's voice in my ear.

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

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

"What's going on with the soil around here, it's heavy with rubble and stuff. ......"

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

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

"And that goes for you, too, doesn't it?"

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

　I laugh as I reply to Hilk's withdrawn gaze, now that we've gotten to know each other a little better.

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

　It is true that I am not tired, but I was not the only one who was recovering with healing magic.

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

"I'm sure you and the others who were working with me aren't tired either.

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

"That's true, but ......, when were you using your healing magic?"

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

"I've been using it for a long time. You just have to look hard to see it.

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

　I was constantly releasing waves of weakened healing magic.

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

　Its performance may be small, but it is certainly effective.

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

"Oh, ......."

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

"Ha-ha-ha."

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

　That was sharp.

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

　It's my fault for trying to see things from the beginning, but I didn't expect to be licked so blatantly.

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

"If you had kept your attitude the same, I think you would have gotten a good deal.

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

"No, no, no, you can't. No, no, no, you can't. You can't just walk up to a guy who looks scarier than an ogre.

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

"I was really scared, you ......."

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

We moved with our family from a village far from Verhazal. So we had to find a place to work and then we saw the sign for your unit and ......"

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

"So you just took it as a blessing in disguise."

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

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

　So both of them were on a roll.

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

　Growing up in the closed space of a village, they must have had a prejudice against dark magic.

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

"So we ran away and my parents were pissed off to death and introduced us to this place."

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

"But the good news is that the work here is a lot better than your place, in terms of hardness."
