Chapter 43: The Church and the Water Mill
The church was to be located across the street to the south of the meeting house. Located in the center of the village, it would be close to the residence, making it easy for everyone to use.
Not knowing how big the church would be, I started by making a rough image of the church facing the vacant lot. Then a Western-style church appeared, flashing and translucent. It was about 10 meters high and wide.
"Okay, I'll set it up here, and you guys stand back a little."
The moment the church was fixed, the color of the barrier surrounding the village changed. It had been a pale blue color, but in an instant it changed to a pale green.
"Oh ......"
What happened?
"The color of the barrier is ...... why?"
"Keisuke-san, you can now appraise the barrier! The name is now 'Blessing of the earth god'!”

Until now, there had been no reaction when appraised, but it seems that the color of the barrier has changed and it is now subject to appraisal. Haruka said that just because the name has changed, it does not mean that a special effect has been added.
"Very comfortable and powerful, i feel like I'm... is it just my imagination?"
"... When you say that, I feel the same way!"
"Touya, is that true?"
Tsubaki and the others were expressing their impressions, and everyone in the village was saying the same thing. Maybe it has some positive effect.
Then, out of nowhere, everyone was praying toward the church, and before long, everyone was kneeling facing the church.When we entered the church, we found a worship couch and a crystal statue of the Goddess of Mercy. The interior was very simple, but it exuded a mysterious atmosphere.
One by one, the villagers prayed in front of the statue and confirmed their professions and skills. Those who had received the oracle and were given professions and skills repeatedly prostrated themselves before the statue of the goddess, expressing their joy and gratitude.
As a result of the prayer, the professions and skills obtained as of today are as follows
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Roa Lv16
Villager: Loyalty 84
Ad
Occupation: Wizard <NEW>
Skill: Earth Magic Lv4
By will, consumes MP to attack.
Can manipulate shape. Can change its nature.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Roa was listed as a "wizard" in the occupation field. And the details of the skills were changed to the same description as Sakura's.
According to Sakura, the occupation and skills given at the village church are the same kind as those possessed by the transferee. In Roa's case, she said that she prayed to the goddess of the earth, which may have updated the skills she originally possessed.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Rudrug Lv12
Villager: Loyalty 85
Ad
Occupation: Architect <NEW>
Skill: Architecture Lv1 <NEW>.
Upward correction to the strength and quality of buildings.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Rudrug's occupation is now "Architect" and his skill "Architecture" seems to give him a positive correction when he builds. He also looked very satisfied with the abilities he gained.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Beritoa Lv6
Villager: Loyalty 73
Occupation: Blacksmith <NEW>
Skill: Blacksmithing Lv1 <NEW>.
Improves the speed and quality of processing arms and tools
Target: Leather
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Beritoa's occupation is blacksmith, and it appears to improve the processing and quality of leather. As with Natsuki, the number of material targets is expected to increase as skill Lv. increases.
In addition, two other rabbit men who had always accompanied her on her hunts became "scouts" and developed "search Lv. 1" as a skill. The ability to search seems to be something that allows them to sense signs of their surroundings.
Ad
The three men who were engaged in farming in the village were given the skills of "Farmer" and "Farming Lv 1," while the two weavers were given the skills of "Craftsman" and "Craftsmanship Lv 1.
Finally, Rad and the other six members of the trading team became "warriors" and received the skill "Physical Enhancement Lv1. They had been hunting in the village, and were filled with anticipation, saying, "This might make us stronger.”
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
<Newly added occupation holders in the village>
1 blacksmith (Beritoa)
1 builder (Rudrug)
2 craftsmen
2 scouts
3 farmers
6 warriors (including Rad)
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Not all villagers were given occupations and skills. However, judging from the trend of those who were given them, there is a good chance that they will be given them in the future, depending on the work they are engaged in.
“Listen up, everyone. Those who were given jobs and skills are to be congratulated, and please work even harder for the village. And for those who did not get them this time, there is a good chance that they will be given in the future. Please stop by the church often to check on them.”
Those who did not receive the ability were not discouraged, but rather seemed to be motivated to receive it as soon as possible.

Day 86 of life in another world
-Thirteen days after the establishment of the church
With the arrival of the town's merchant association to the village coming up tomorrow, Rad and the rest of the trading team headed for the village with the last of their cargo. The plan for today was to stay in the village for the night.
Meanwhile, in the village, the people were spending their days doing well with farming, processing cloth products, and pioneering the trade routes. He is also hunting monsters, raising his level in the forest in the east and hunting giant spiders in the south to gather materials.
“How is the installation of equipment and magical tools going?”
I was talking with Beritoa at the blacksmith shop that was completed yesterday.
“Yes! We know how much equipment we need. The magic tools have been built into a simple furnace made by Uncle Rado!”
The dome-shaped furnace, with a heat treatment tool attached to the ceiling, is designed to heat the metal in the furnace by inserting a magic stone.
“We'll get to work today! First, I'm going to make shoes for the whole village. Does the chief have any requests?"
“Well, Beritoa's shoes are sturdy and easy to walk in. It would be great if you could prepare a spare pair as well.”
The trading and hunting teams have been given them, but they have not yet been distributed to everyone, so I will ask for a little more than the number of people.
“After the shoes, I'll make swords and axes from the materials I brought.”
“I'll leave all the blacksmithing to Beritoa. By the way, did you feel the effects of your profession and skills?”
“Yes, it's so amazing!”
“That much?"

“I've made a few pairs in between construction work, and the speed and quality of the processing is like a whole new level!”
Beritoa says that the entire process, from leather processing to sewing, goes as smoothly as she wants it to.
“I can understand why the Japanese people in town make these things so easily. I think I can compete with them!”
“I see, but don't tell me you're going back to the city now?"
I jokingly said.
“No, no, that's not going to happen. The atmosphere in the village is good, and there is a good blacksmith shop. Above all, the potatoes won't let me go!"
“Oh, yes, they won’t. Even if Belitoa has to go back to the city, it will be alright as long as we suspend the potato trade."
Beritoa laughs and asks for a break. I was relieved that she seems to have become accustomed to the village.
“Well then, I'll ask you to distribute the finished product through Tsubaki.”
“Yes, leave it to me!”
The blacksmith shop looks fine, so next I head toward the river where Rudrug and Natsuki are. They should be starting construction today to make a water wheel type threshing operation for rice and wheat.
Currently, the threshing operation is not keeping up with the amount of rice harvested because there is still not enough manpower. On top of that, the wheat harvest will increase by almost the same amount. It was obvious that if they continued with manual labor, they would reach their limits in the near future.
"Hey chief, I'm sorry you had to go on an inspection tour on the first day.”
“I've never seen an actual water mill before, so I just came here out of curiosity.”
“I've seen the structure in town. As long as the processing is done properly, there will be no problem.”
Ad
“That's where I come in!”
“Yes, you two will take care of everything. The technology of Rudrug has improved dramatically, hasn't it? I expect good things from you.”
Rudrug's skill seems to have improved to an extent that even he is surprised by the profession and skills of an architect. In addition, one of the rabbits who had always helped him with his work has also developed the profession and skills of an architect. This will further increase the efficiency of the work.
If all goes well, four semi-automatic threshing machines powered by waterwheels and two mills for grinding wheat should be completed in about 10 days.
Life in the village has become much richer. It is not as good as life in Japan, but if one is not greedy, there is no need to worry about food, clothing, or shelter. Above all, I was very comfortable in this environment where I could live peacefully every day.
As I gazed at the scenery of the village, I was immersed in the thought that I had become completely accustomed to life in another world.
