　The stone is being quarried from the rock pile. We ate a lot of seafood last night, and this morning we are full of the fish and shellfish we have stored away.

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

　I'm sure I'll get tired of seafood eventually, but I feel completely different compared to the time when I was eating nothing but bread.

　As we have gained in level and strength, the big rocky mountains are disappearing in a flash. We have succeeded in securing an extra large rock for our mobile home, and when this rock pile disappears, it will be the third rock pile that has disappeared.

"Hmmm. This is all we need to collect. We should go back to the well area and build a dwelling.

"I think we'll have enough, but three piles of rocks is a bit much, don't you think?"

　Sylphy spoke to me with a wry smile. It was true that I was getting a little carried away, but I guess that's OK, because there is no such thing as too much trouble.

"Well, I'm sure you'll find some use for them. Well, I'm sure we'll find some use for it. If we have too much, we can use it to expand the space.

　He calls back Belle and Rain, who are playing in the distance, and sets off for the well.

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

　It took us less than two hours to reach the well. It seems that the increase in our level of skill is having a positive effect on our speed of movement. I put away the big rocks that blocked the well for the time being.

Sylphy. You are at the bottom of this well, aren't you, Dine?"

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

Yes. It is possible that they have moved to another place by following the water vein, but I think they are probably down there.

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

　Water spirits can travel through water veins. Is it useful ......?　I don't see the point, since I can fly.

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

"Thank you. I should let them know you're back, right?"

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

"Just leave a message. Just ask Belle and Lane to get in touch with me."

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

　Oh, that's the way to do it. I thought it would be a bit of a hassle going up and down the stairs, but it's a lot easier.

"Belle. Rain. Come here for a minute.

　A happy little girl and a dolphin. It's a fantasy.

"I came back to Dene at the bottom of the well. Can you tell her I'm doing some work tomorrow?　If they're not there, you can just come straight back."

"Yessir."

　I watch them happily jump into the well. Gghh. The high tension at sea is ....... I trust you'll forget about it eventually.

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

"Sylphy. Will you stop looking at me like I'm looking at a poor person?"

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

I don't have that look. It's Yuta's paranoia.

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

　Is that so?　Do you care too much?

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

"What are you going to do now?"

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

"Uh, first we need to clear some space. I've prepared two hundred two-meter hexahedrons. All we have to do now is to arrange them.

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

　If you put 50 pieces on each side, you will have a square space. That should be enough.

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

"Two meters will keep out the wandering zombies and skeletons. But the death lizards could get in, right?

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

"Well, let's just build it and see how it goes. If not, I'll think about it then.

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

　The rocks are two meters wide, so it should be safe to stack them on top.

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

That might be a good idea.

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

"Okay, let's arrange them so that the well is in the center."

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

　Decide on a starting point and place the rocks.

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

"It's so big this way. Does it have to be this thick?"

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

　It is true that just one of them is placed, but it feels strangely powerful.

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

"Well, I've never even been involved in architecture before, so I'm just going to go with sturdiness.

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

　If the ground caves in under the weight, it's easy enough to store and deal with.

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

"Surely it's better to be too sturdy than too fragile."

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

"That's what I mean. I'll just smooth out the bad bumps and leave it there."

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

　Ding. Dong. The rocks are placed at a good pace, the raised areas are scraped off quickly with a shovel, and the dented areas are filled in with dirt and hardened with a hammer.

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

"I'm home!"

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

"Cue."

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

　Oh, no. Bell and Lane are back.

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

Thank you both. Did you see Deanne?

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

"Yes, I'm here. "I met you. I got a compliment.

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

"Cue cue. Cuey."

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

　They both look like they've done it. Thank them. And pat them both down.

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

"Thank you. I don't have anything else to do right now, so you two go play. Don't go too far."

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

"Yes, sir."

"Cuey."

　I watch them fly away. Rain's reply feels like a subtle progression. A genie, indeed. Let's resume.

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

　Yeah. We got it all the way around with no gaps. There were a few gaps, but I was able to adjust them with the extra rocks. It should be fine in terms of preventing demons from getting in.

"If it's this big, it's big enough."

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

　It is called the land of death, where there is nothing but reddish brown and dry ground. But it's strange how attached you become to a place when you surround it and recognize it as your territory.

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

"Yes, it is. I think it's a pretty big place. It's an amazing ability to be able to do all this in such a short time."

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

"Yes. I think it's an extraordinary performance for a tool. Well, if it could fly, we might not have had so much trouble.

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

　We swooped in and arrived at the town. It's so easy.

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

"If you sign up with me, you'll be able to fly, and I'm sure you'll be better off with your current abilities."

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

　Surely, no matter how hard we try, it will be difficult to get the tools for pioneering tools.

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

"That's true. Good. I'm motivated. Next, I'm going to build a mobile base."

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

　We take out the largest rock we have reserved for the mobile base and build a two-room house like the one we built for our temporary base. This time we build an enclosure and make some windows in the kitchen.

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

　No windows in the bedrooms because we don't want ghosts and such to enter the house. A rock for a table and a rock for a bench are placed. The kitchen is complete with a stove.

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

　In the bedroom, a large rock is placed in the center of the room and the interior is cut out so that sand can be placed inside. The sand from the beach is purified and poured into the rock. Now you can put wooden pillows and you are done.

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

　You will get dirty with sand when you sleep, and the wooden pillow is hard, but it is much better than sleeping on the rock. Dirt can be dealt with by purification. Oh, and now that we have water, we can build a bath when the spring is finished. Purification makes you clean, but it doesn't make you tired. But still .......

"Hmmm..."

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

"What's troubling you?"

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

"Um, I know it's a silly thing to say, but doesn't this bed look like a coffin?"

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

　It's just a box with the interior of a rectangular rock cut out of it and filled with sand. ...... It kind of reminds me of a coffin.

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

"It certainly looks like a coffin, but is it really that troubling?"

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

"It looks like a bad omen, doesn't it?"

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

　In Japan, I never cared about good luck, but it's a world where ghosts are common. It seems to be common for people's luck to go down for some trivial reason.

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

"Well, why don't you shave off the corners and make them round?"

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

"......Oh, that would change the atmosphere. I'll give it a try."

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

　Take Sylphy's advice and shave off the corners to give it an overall rounded appearance. ...... It looks like a capsule. But this is somewhat better.

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

"Okay, now we have a mobile home. That's all for today, let's have dinner.

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

"What are you having for dinner tonight?"

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

　It's hard to just grill seafood three times in a row. Boiled fish makes me want rice. Even though the temperature will be a little cooler at night, one-pot dishes are hard. I don't have enough ingredients for fry, and I don't think I can make tsumigami without ...... ginger and green onion.

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

　I don't think I can make it without ginger and green onion. Will eating seaweed help?　I'm not sure. I should have at least bought vegetable juice. If I don't raise my level quickly before my body is destroyed by lack of nutrition, I'll be in trouble.

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

"I guess it's ...... steamed fish today."

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

"It's a subtle change, but is ...... okay?"

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

"I've come up with a lot of fish dishes, but I don't have enough vegetables and seasonings. Japanese cuisine can be extravagant if you add seafood to it. ......"

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

　I want rice. I want seasonings. I want herbs. I want vegetables. Most of all, I want meat.

Hey, is it possible to have Belle go shopping for me?

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

"You can't, because you can't materialize. Spirits can only materialize in special places. They can use their magic power to grab things, but it's not exactly the same as touching them. It would be almost impossible to shop in such a situation.

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

　I thought I could hold things since you brought me the fish, but I was wrong. It's a subtle complication.

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

"How about you go get them for me?"

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

"It's possible."

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

　My dreams expanded.

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

"Oh, it would make such a difference if we could just get the plants."　

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

"But it would take Bell a long time and be hard for him to fly over a long distance while maintaining the magic power to hold things. Even with Rain's assistance, the load will still be on her after all.

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

　Sylphy sighs and speaks apologetically. I remember I asked him if he could carry me to the town if I made a contract with Belle, and he said he couldn't. No wonder...they are much heavier than plants.

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

"You said that the spirits we contracted with would come to us as soon as we summon them, even if they are far away from us. If I use that power, I can come back immediately, can't I?

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

"Unfortunately, only spirits can move.

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

"Oh, I feel like I'm being tied up like a wild goose."

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

　It seems to work, but something is missing in a subtle way. God, if he exists, is pretty mean. The only way this could possibly work is to put a tremendous burden on the little girl and the dolphins. I feel so guilty.

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

"If you were as powerful as I am, you wouldn't have any problems."

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

"If I can make a deal with Sylphy, he'll take me to town, right?"

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

"Hmmm... I guess you're right. I never thought about it before, but I guess it doesn't work that way.

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

　It is quite rare to be able to communicate so well with spirits. I'm sure there are a lot of things I didn't know.

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

"Well, relying on Belle and Rain is a real last resort, and I'll do the best I can on my own.

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

　First of all, don't be selfish, eat your food and raise your level of skill. Let's do our best to get out of this seafood-only life.
