Speaking of which.

　The following three people were the ones who had marked the cultivation skill [Receiver] that transferred the experience they had acquired.

　Akira, the excavator 《Miner》, and

　Shohei Yoshioka, a psychic.

　Isao Igarashi, the producer

　It is.


　That means that ...... all the experience value acquired by the 150-man team of that expedition was transferred to them as well.

　And 【Geological Survey】 was a skill that the excavator 《Mainer》 Akira had acquired with that acquired experience.



''Akira says: ......''

　Shohei Yoshioka, whom I successfully met in 'Isomura', explains.

'It seems I learned that ability to check the veins of demon ore.

A vein?

　I watched Akira's geological survey work as I asked him back.

　Akira emitted an elongated column of magical light from the palm of his hand and inserted it into the ground as if he were inserting it into the ground.


　


　The pillar of light goes straight into the dirt.

''Yes. Until now, he himself had gone to the trouble of digging and searching for a vein of ore to test it out, didn't he? But after I learned how to use the glow sticks, I was able to examine the composition of the strata without having to dig for it.

　In other words, you can find out what's buried under the ground without digging.

That's why I thought it would be a good idea to look at other places as well.

I see.

　The aim of today's survey was to find underground water.

　I heard that the aim of today's investigation was to find underground water, and that although the main industry in Isomura was fishing, there were some inconveniences in using it for domestic purposes.

I found it. There's water here, here, down here. ......

　Saying that, Akira closed the magic light.

　It seems that he has discovered a water component in the ground.


　Well.

　Since the work seems to have come to a close, I'll ask them for more details on the geological survey we've done so far.

　Then, I heard that they have already found some new materials.

　Of particular note was the discovery of a [Rare Magma Stone].

　Rare Demolition Stones do not themselves contain magical energy, but they react to magical energy coming from outside according to certain rules.

　There are various types for each law of reaction, and the following two types have been found in the strata in the territory so far.


Rare Demon Stone, Blue ball: Converts magic energy into wind energy.

Rare Magic Stone Red Ball: Converts magic into heat energy


　However, these 【Rare Magic Ore】 are not as impactful a resource as that magic ore.

　However, I thought it was an amazingly valuable ability to be able to reveal the materials that can be procured within the territory in advance like this.

　Of course, it's natural, but once we know what materials can and cannot be obtained within the territory, we can narrow down what we should bring back with us from the items we acquired on our adventure.

It's better to continue with the geological research. I'm counting on you, Akira.

Ha, ha ...... yes!



　And then.

　He said that since the underground water had been found in Isomura, everyone would be more than happy to dig a well already, so Akira took a shovel and started digging the ground.

　So the psychic Shouhei began to exorcise the well, but that didn't take long, so

Hey, Shohei.

　And I talk to him again with a sideways glance.

　The reason why I came to see Shouhei is because I had other things to do in the first place.

　That matter is about the 'transportation infrastructure development' in the territory that we are about to undertake.

　I've been thinking from the beginning that since we've taken the transport capacity of the timberland troops, especially Chiyo, out on a quest, we'll have to cover that part of the transportation infrastructure .......

　We didn't have that capability before, so it was untouched, but now we have the physical power of the Territorial Force, and we have the idea.


'What exactly?'

Yeah. First of all, we're going to build a channel to transport the wood. From 'Kimura' to 'Nakamura'.

"Law.

　In the first place, the irrigation facilities for the dikes and rice fields that were being built with Shohei as the leader, the lumber supply from the Kimura was supposed to be essential.

　In the past, lumber was transported using wheels with Chiyo's transport capacity, but this was a section that was always determined to be a round trip, unlike the travel in the quest.

　It would be more efficient in the long run to take the trouble to prepare the transportation route first.

It would be a great help, though. But it would be a lot of work, wouldn't it? This year, we're going to repair the dikes and irrigation again. We'll see if we can get that much done: ......

'Don't worry about that. I've brought fifty of the expeditionary group with me, so we'll use the physical capabilities of the troops to build the channel. So all you have to do is help me out.

　This is how I worked out with Shouhei about the waterway plan: ......

"Oh, oh!

　Just then, Akira's shout came from the hole he was digging the well in.

'Hey! What's the matter, Akira!

　I looked into the hole and saw that steam was rising from the water gushing out of the bottom of the hole.

''Woo-hoo!''

　Hey, this isn't just groundwater: ......

Hot springs?

　Although it didn't turn into drinking water, it would also change the industry in Isomura.
