Chapter 37: Each Other’s Thoughts
When the four of us returned to the village, everyone in the village was preparing for lunch.
We immediately introduce Haruka and Akiho and discuss their abilities and the situation in the north. The whole village was in a welcoming mood to the new villagers, and the whole event proceeded in a lively manner from start to finish.
–When the topic of how they would live together came up, Natsuki suddenly announced that she wanted to move into a pit style dwelling for the Rabbit kin.
“Keisuke-san, would you mind if Touya and I live there together? There is just one house available, right, Touya?”
“What? I didn’t hear anything about that.”
“That’s right, I just said it for the first time. Touya, is it ok with you?”
“What? Well, it’s okay. ……”
“I’ve wanted to live there since it was being built. What do you think about it?”
Ad
“I don’t mind if the two of you want to do that. But don’t forget that you both have responsibilities.”
“Yes, thank you very much!”
(Looks like the battle has started here too.)
“If so, Haruka and Akiho can enter the vacant room. Are you two okay with that?”
“Yes, I understand!
After the lunch break was over and everyone went back to their work, all the Japanese women disappeared to my house.
I remained there alone, lost in my thoughts for a while.
There must be a fierce battle going on in the house right now. A forbidden area that boys should never enter. ……
I consider myself neither insensitive nor unaware. Natsuki and Akiho would be another matter, but as for Tsubaki, Sakura, and Haruka, I think i’m talking about my handling of them.
During the trip back to the village from the northern mountains earlier, Tsubaki had not uttered a mere word, except when introducing herself. I felt bad when Haruka and I got into a conversation about our hobbies on the way back.
None of the three of them had any clear romantic feelings for me, and of course neither did I. Instead, I think there is a great deal of affection and dependence.
Ad
However, you don’t feel good about someone else stealing what you found first, even if you don’t have romantic feelings for them. I am also aware that I would be quite shocked if someone else stole those guys.
I have always said that until the environment is right, but with the arrival of Akiho, that problem has almost disappeared. Perhaps there will come a time when we will discuss this topic directly.
–When that time comes, I will speak honestly about my thoughts and feelings.
◇ ◇◇◇◇
When I had put my feelings to rest and was about to look around the village, I received an invitation from Touya to join him in logging. Since there was nothing in particular to instruct him in the village, I agreed and we headed into the forest together.
We cut down the trees in our path, which was about 4 meters wide. Behind us, Roa and a few other rabbit men were digging up stumps.
For about an hour after we started, we just kept on cutting down the trees in silence. As the work proceeded smoothly, thanks to the increase in our arm strength that had been brought about by the level-up, we decided it was time to take a break, so we sat down on a stump and rested.
“Hey, Village Chief, what do you think of Natsuki during the day?”
“What do I think?”
“Why did she suddenly say …… that she wants to live with me?”
Ad
“It’s only because of the timing of Akiho’s arrival.”
“I knew it was something like that.”
“I don’t know. But, conveniently, it seems that in this world, one becomes an adult at the age of 15.”
“…I see, thank you. Natsuki and I will think about the rest.”
“I’ll give you a help item when I get home. Also, if you cause damage to the village and me, I’ll kick you out.”
“Okay. I’ll take it seriously.”
After that, we both quietly went about our work.
The speed of felling was unusually fast, and the number of trees felled increased and soon became an obstacle. We moved on to hauling logs and processing stumps. Here, too, we benefited greatly from our increased level of skill, and both Touya and I were perfectly comfortable walking with logs under our arms.
In the evening, we returned to the village after taking a dip in the river. The women were preparing a meal in the same atmosphere as usual.
“Welcome back Keisuke-san, it will be ready soon, so please sit down and wait for it. Today, at last, the ban on rice is lifted!”
Tsubaki’s speech seemed a little softer.
“Oh, so the time has finally come. I’m looking forward to it!”
“I’m looking forward to it too! Hey, chief, you don’t mind if I eat a full meal, do you? Can I eat as much as I want?”
“Yes, eat as much as you want!”
The women, who were watching the event, were also in their usual happy mood. One can only hope that they have successfully come to terms with each other’s existence and compromise. And whatever it is, I sincerely wished that they would not create factions …….

Day 57 of living in another world
A few days have passed since ten members of the rabbit tribe and two Japanese became villagers. These days, all the work is progressing smoothly without any problems. And now, they were checking the status of the skill owners.
“Haruka and Akiho have joined, and I would like to check everyone’s abilities again. If there is anything you notice that has changed, please let me know.”
Who would like to start?
I don’t care who starts, but let’s go in order of youngest to oldest.
I’ll check with Natsuki first, since there seems to be no objections.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Natsuki Lv7
Villager: Loyalty 86
Occupation: Craftsman
Skill: Fine Craftsmanship Lv4 <NEW>.
Upward compensation for crafting and processing
Target: wood, fiber, stone, metal <NEW>.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Ad
Natsuki’s level has been raised to 7. Her crafting skill is now Lv 4 and she can also process metals.
“It’s metal, though. It’s a pity that there is no place to make use of it.”
“At least not without ingots. Ores wouldn’t be a good target.”
“I’m only repairing pots and knives now, i’m getting better at woodworking, so I’ll be contributing there for a while.”
“You are already an expert, that’s enough.”
As for the processing of building materials, she’s already as good as a machine. It may be a bit exaggerated, but she can process wood like a paper cutter. It had reached that level.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Touya Lv15
Villager: Loyalty 91
Occupation: Swordsman
Skill: Swordsmanship Lv3 <NEW>.
Greatly improves sword handling <NEW>.
Increases the power of sword attacks.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Touya has reached level 15 and his swordsmanship skill has increased to Lv 3. His sword handling is now greatly compensated for. He told us that his sword speed is now noticeably faster, and his sword muscles are no longer blurred.
Ad
“I think I’m fighting pretty well, but I feel like my skills aren’t improving fast enough.”
He is not satisfied with the rate at which his skill level is increasing, or at least he is skeptical about it.
“Come to think of it, the one you’re using right now is a stiletto dropped by a goblin, right?”
“That’s all I’ve got. I’d like to get a decent one if possible.”
“Understood. I will prioritize purchasing swords and armor in the next trade.”
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Akiho Lv10
Villager: Loyalty 83
Occupation: Healer
Skill: Healing Magic Lv3
By touching the target, MP is consumed to heal wounds, status ailments, and diseases.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Akiho’s level has increased by one to 10. Her skills remain the same, but her loyalty has increased slightly.
“Has Akiho ever healed a disease or an abnormality?”
“When I was bitten by a goblin and developed a fever, it was treated as a disease. I was able to cure that, but I haven’t experienced any abnormalities yet.”
“No loss of parts or anything, right?”
“I have never lost a part of my body completely. I’ve only experienced putting torn flesh back together.”
“Are you the one who was bitten to pieces by a goblin… Akiho, do you have any aversion to blood and grotesque stuff?”
“Of course I did at first, but I had to let it go in order to survive.”
“I don’t know if I can say simply that you’re reliable, but I’ll be counting on you from now on.”.
“I’ll do my best.”
I’m usually a man of few words, but I have a firm grasp of these kinds of responses.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Roa Lv12
Villager: Loyalty 78
Skill: Earth Magic Lv4 <NEW>.
Offers magical power and attacks with earth attribute <NEW>.
Shape manipulation possible. Possible to change nature.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Roa’s level has been raised to 12 and her loyalty to 78. Her earth magic was also recently raised to lvl 4. Working full time on building foundations and logging roots. It is a satisfying achievement.
“Now that my skill Lv. 4 is up, the details have changed. It’s changed from ‘produce soil’ to ‘attack.”
“What has changed?”
“I can now use magic with less magic power. Also, the time required to transform soil into stone has been greatly reduced.”
“Oh, that’s good. In the future, I hope it will be possible to build stone walls.”
“Yes! It’s still difficult at the moment, but I’m sure we will be able to do it!”
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Sakura Lv13
Villager: Loyalty 97
Occupation: Wizard
Skill: Water Magic Lv4 <NEW>.
it consumes MP to attack with high power. Can be drunk. Shape can be manipulated. Temperature can be adjusted.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Sakura has been raised to level 13 and her water magic has been raised to Lv 4. As for temperature control, apparently it can make ice or make it hot enough to evaporate.
“As you can see in the skill details, it’s changed to a more powerful attack.”
“How high did you go?”
Ad
“The magic power is much more powerful than ever before. –Well, it consumes a lot of energy.”
“That’s quite a lot of power. Do you know the total amount of water you can produce?”
“I’d like to say yes, but I can’t measure it, so I’d have to go by the numbers, wouldn’t I?”
“That’s fine.”
“I feel like I can put out three tubs of water in the 25-meter pool at the school and still have plenty of room to spare. I think that if you change the temperature or manipulate the shape of the pool, it will be less.”
“I see, I’m asking Rudrug for a larger tub now. You’ll be able to stretch out and soak in it in the near future.”
“Uh, as for the new bath, it will be ready tomorrow at the latest. This is our top priority in terms of sanitation, you know.”
“That’s right…” “Right…”
The new bath will be completed tomorrow at the latest. But, the discussion started over the bathtub, without even looking at the ability checks. …… It was a long time before I could finish.
“Hey, it’s almost noon… Shall we continue after lunch?”
Saying so, I quickly retreat.
