Chapter 8: What used to be a village

“It’s like a picnic. This is fun Master.”

“Yeah, I brought some boiled potatoes for lunch, so we can eat them if we get hungry.”

“You guys… monsters might appear so don’t let your guard down .”

The next day, I came to explore the area around the mansion with Vigna and Galatea in her maid outfit. I also invited Bowman, but he seemed too obsessed with the furnace and ignored my invitation, so I left him. It’s not as though I put together a harem party. No, seriously!

Galatea had cleared the path to a certain extent, so we no longer had to go through the animal path and the journey was comfortable. It seems that it used to be a road from the mansion to another town and it’s easier than starting from scratch, but turning over and moving large stones and mature trees is something that only she can do.

“Oh, it’s an adventure of an inconspicuous lord, a devoted robomaid and a tsundere swordsman?”

“Oh, that sounds like the beginning of a story. Well, I’m going to make full use of my knowledge of the other world to get ahead. It’s not wrong. This is the beginning of the glory of Grace Vermillion, who will one day go down in history.”

“Yes, yes, don’t get carried away. But well, that’s not a bad thing. By the way, what’s a tsundere?”

“Well, it’s… uh”

Vigna whispered in my ear with a dubious look on her face. I think it probably means violent, but I’m afraid she’s going to lose her temper if I say that.

“They say it means strong and beautiful.”

“Eh… hmmm. so you think I’m a tsundere too?”

“Yeah, Vigna is tsundere, I’m pretty sure of it.”

“Oh… that’s kind of embarrassing, but thanks.”

She smiles really happily when I say that. Fufufu! She’s a naïve woman not knowing that it means ferocious.

I think as I watch Vigna smile honestly, she really has a good face. If she was always like this, but that’s not Vigna. Why is my heart is beating so fast?

“I sense master’s heart beating rapidly. Such youth.”

“There’s no way it is! What kind of tree is this?”

I try to change the topic and touch the trees that Galatea pulled out when clearing a path and activate “World Library”.

Rubber tree: A tree that is resistant to environmental changes. If you cut it down, you can collect the sap. The hardened sap can be used as a ball for children to play with.

“Rubber tree. It’s a bit useless. If it were a rarer tree, it could be used to make furniture.”

“We can cut it down and use it as firewood. I wonder if we could use it to make torches.”

“Well, you can’t go wrong with wood.”

If the wood is used for high-quality furniture, it can be sold for a high price as furniture material, but it doesn’t seem to be that grade.

As we walked along, talking, we came to a place where there were several abandoned buildings clustered together. The buildings there were more battered than Souzi’s mansion and most of the roofs and walls had been destroyed by someone, so it was fitting that they were abandoned.

But still, These are the houses of the people who used to live here. When I look at Galatea, she’s looking at the houses with a down expression.

“If you’re having a hard time Galatea, you don’t have to explore this place.”

“No, Master… I want to walk here. It’s not what I remember, but I want to see it. Please follow me, I’ll show you around.”

We followed Galatea as she walked ahead of us. Vigna had a complicated look on her face, but I’m sure I had the same look on mine.

We followed Galatea. As I expected, we visited some abandoned houses, but they were in terrible condition. In addition to the monsters, thieves may have gotten into the house because most of the chests and vases had been rifled through or destroyed and there was hardly anything of note.

We were now sitting in an abandoned house in relatively decent condition.

“Why has it been ransacked so badly?”

“Oh, even if the items that Souzi summoned are useless, they’re called ‘Souzi relics’ and are sold at a high price by collectors. Maybe that’s what they were after.”

I replied Vigna who is angry with an indignant face. Now I know, what he summoned were items from another world. They were rare items that can never be obtained in this world. Even if you can’t use it, collectors will want it.

And where there is demand, there is supply. If there is money to be made, there are plenty of people who would be willing to scavenge the ruins.

The reason that Souzi’s mansion was left intact may be due to the rumors of a golem and the ancient fire dragon that Galatea defeated lurking nearby.

“It’s lonely for a city where people used to live in. In the old days, when my dad and I used to come out, everyone stopped working and talked to me.

“Galatea…”

I wonder what Galatea thinks when she says that and looks out at the city? When she woke up, the city she lived in was in ruins and had been razed to the ground. I can’t say I know how she feels.

Unable to stay, I searched the abandoned house to get a keepsake for her. Among the shattered remains of cups in what must have been a cupboard, I noticed a cup that somehow had not rusted, and I grabbed it.

It was made of a strange, shiny metal that seemed to be different from iron. The cup was engraved with a mature man and a girl who looked a lot like Galatea.

“Hey, Galatea, is this…?”

It was the moment I raised my voice.

“You have been exposed to the knowledge of another world. You have unlocked new knowledge.”

At the same time as the voice of the “World Library” echoed in my brain, I felt a new bookshelf open inside me. Oh, this metal was also knowledge of another world. ……

Aluminum alloy cup

A cup made of an alloy of aluminum as its main component with the weak point of being soft but made stronger by alloying it with various materials.

———————————————————————————————–

Aluminum? Alloy? What’s that? There were words I didn’t understand. I’m not sure if Bowman would understand.

“Congratulations. Because you touched an object from another world, your understanding of the other world has increased.”

“World Library” reported that my knowledge has increased, but why was I still feeling confused like this? With this… even if I don’t understand Galatea’s feelings, will I be able to understand more about the other world?
