Chapter 12: The Village Bonus
“It was delicious.”
“It was very delicious.”
It was a sumptuous dinner that felt like it had been a long time, even though it was only my second day in this world. I made onigiri (rice balls) out of the leftover rice and am looking forward to tomorrow’s meal.
Now that the meal is over, I am cleaning up quickly. Just as they were about to finish, I called out to them. I wanted to tell them something as soon as possible.
“I have something important to tell you before it gets too dark.”
They nodded a little nervously and headed for the living room together.
“I’m going to start by saying that Tsubaki and Sakura are good collaborators. I think your personalities and abilities are impeccable, and I know I can count on you. With that in mind, I want you to listen to what I’m about to tell you.”
With that, i shared my thoughts with Tsubaki and Sakura.

.I want you to know that I value my life the most. If I am in danger, I will put my own survival first.
. I have no intention of accepting strangers whom I do not trust. I will not accept strangers whom I do not trust, including myself and my two relatives and acquaintances.
. In some cases, I am willing to eliminate hostile transferees even if it means killing them.
. Lastly, that i would never disrespect, but would take good care of, any villagers whom i trusted.
While I was speaking, both of them were listening silently without uttering a word.
“I understand what you meant, Keisuke-san. I am fine with that policy.”
Somehow, I had expected Sakura to say that, but I was relieved to hear it clearly. And then Tsubaki said…
“I’m ……. If I run into my family or friends, I probably won’t have the confidence to remain calm. But if we can’t accept them, I’ll give up.”
“Well, thank you both. I won’t hide it, but I honestly didn’t think Tsubaki would be that prepared.”
“It was obvious from the start. … Also, being estranged from my family is one of the reasons.”
I am neither a saint nor a man of character. When push comes to shove, I will always put myself first. To say nice things with my mouth, but when push comes to shove, turn my back on them. I wanted to have this conversation as soon as possible because I don’t like that kind of thing.
Ad
Of course, I don’t think I’ll be forgiven for saying it first. But this is how it is with people.
Having exposed my arrogance, I felt that the impatience I had been feeling all this time had suddenly disappeared.
“Okay, from tomorrow onwards, let’s carefully prepare the foundation for our lives.”
“Leave it to me!”
“I will do my best!”

Third Day in Another World
It was a refreshing awakening this morning. It must be thanks to yesterday’s dinner and the declaration of determination. I have no intention of worrying about my own words.
When I went to the living room, they were already gone. I found a note on the table that said, “Going to the river for a dip.” Thinking that they would not be back for a while, I finished breakfast first. There was still no sign of their return, so I decided to wait and check the status.

(Nothing much has changed. ……)
I look at the text on the screen, which is not changed at all.
(Oh, let’s name the village…)
I suddenly thought of something like that. Since I am not particular about what to call the village, I thought of a name at random.
(Otherworldly Village, Japanese Village, Kusakabe Village…………………something is wrong . Well, it’s okay to leave it without a name.)
When I gave up because I couldn’t come up with anything at all, there was a change in the status screen.

“What? It’s decided now?”
I thought, and hurriedly checked if I could change the name. I was more interested in the Stars next to the village name, so I looked at them. Then I saw that it was

☆Rich soil
The quality of the soil in the village is corrected upward. Crops are free from disease and crop failure. *Release condition: first harvest.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
“This is truly …… an unexpected harvest.”
I want to pat myself on the back for inadvertently naming it. The description is perfect. It is a triple win: no need for fertilizer, no disease, and continuous cropping. I feel like I can do this even in my amateur farm.
(Is the release condition <First Harvest>? Was it yesterday when I picked the vegetables from the kitchen garden?)
As for this ☆ mark, it’s like a characteristic of a village, so I arbitrarily named it “Village Bonus”. After the name of the village, there’s no sense of taste… well, it shouldn’t be a problem.
And while I was at it, Sakura and Tsubaki seemed to have returned.

“Keisuke-san, good morning!”
They both look fine and have good color. They didn’t seem to mind so much what I declared yesterday. Well, it’s possible they’re just being considerate.
“Good morning,, how was the river?”
“I feel refreshed, both physically and mentally! I did the laundry, so I’ll hang it up to dry. There’s nothing unusual.”
“I see. The two of you should check your skills as soon as possible. And from now on, I will check your status every morning.”
There may be an announcement, but I want to know what skills these two have.
“I got it!”
“got it”
Sakura and Tsubaki are taking turns checking their status. Their loyalty level has increased a little, but there seems to be no change in their skills.
“Still no change, I see. I’d like to strengthen it as soon as possible. ……”
“Well, there’s no point in rushing. Anyway, I just got the village bonus.”
“Village bonus?”
“I just call it that, though it doesn’t have a specific name.”
I said that and showed them the status. As expected, they were stumped by the name of the village, but raved about its effectiveness.
“This is a great effect. It seems to go well with my farming skills.”

“The plot expansion yesterday, and all the other convenient developments! Maybe the protagonist correction is working?”
“No, no, I know it’s convenient, but give me a break. The main character is too troublesome and I’m afraid that some strange flag will be raised. Seriously.”
The three of us were elated by the unexpected harvest from the morning.
