“Um… I’m sorry.”
Sasamiya-san, looking apologetic, blurted this out.
(Loyalty level 65, if this is all you have, it’s not particularly a problem, but after Todou-san,…….)
“Sasamiya-san, there is nothing to worry about. If anything, even this figure is too high.”
“I see…….”
It was not a follow-up at all. The air was very delicate, but Todou-san joined in the conversation.
“I don’t think the difference between me and Sasamiya-san is that great. The decisive difference is whether or not you correctly recognize the competence of the skills that Kusakabe-san possesses.”
“……?”
Todou-san continues to Sasamiya-san, who is still not quite sure.
“Being eaten alive by beasts in the forest.”
“There is no place to rest, and I can’t even sleep at night because I’m scared of foreign enemies.”
“I will starve to death with nothing to eat”
“Being violated and killed by monsters and other transients”
Sasamiya-san is upset because she has suddenly been told such horrifying things.
“If we stay in this village and stay with Kusakabe-san, we can avoid such dangers with a high degree of certainty.”
“Yes, that’s true. I hadn’t thought of that……”
“I’m sorry if I sounded a little harsh. But look at the status.”
“Oh.”
Sasamiya-san’s loyalty had increased from 65 to 70.
“The difference between us is in our perceptions of the other world.”
“Thank you, Sakura-san.”
I don’t know if it’s because she’s convinced or because her loyalty level has increased, but I’m relieved to see that she seems to have regained her composure.
“Then, let’s get down to business.”
When she had calmed down, i turned my attention back to the skill screen.

“How useful is the occupation of farmer?”
“I think it is. I think it is a lifeline for this village.”
“A lifeline …… that much?”
“Right now, the village is warded, so the risk of intrusion is low, right?”
“Yes, I feel quite safe.”
“The village has a warded area, so the risk of outside invaders is quite low. Then, the immediate concern is the food problem.”
“That’s right.”
“If there are animals in the area, we can get meat, but we don’t know if we will be able to capture them. So I think the farmer’s skills will definitely come in handy in growing crops.”
As for vegetables, I grow cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and sweet potatoes in my home garden. I think there were some lettuce seeds for autumn sowing.
“But as far as my skills go, it looks like all I have to do is till, is that OK?”
“The description says ‘easily cultivated’. You’ll have to give it a try, but if the ground can be dug easily, that alone would be great.”
“Will it work that way?”
“Well, let’s try it later.”
“I understand.”
Let’s try it and see what we can do. I want to be positive about these things.
“We’ll see what happens when your skill level improves.”
“Yes, I’ll do my best.”
“Thanks. Do you have any ideas, Todou-san?”
“Hmm, regarding the climate of this world, I am concerned about the growth speed of plants. The climate is stable, or the growth of plants is fast due to the influence of magic essence. I have high hopes.”
“That’s absolutely right.”
Whatever the case may be, I was able to get two villagers without incident. After I feel relieved that the loyalty issue has been resolved, I display my status again.

Keisuke Lv1
Occupation: Village Chief (No village name) Village
Unique Skill: Village Lv2 (2/10)
“Village Chief Authority.”
Authority to grant permission to invade and reside in the village and to expel people. Can automatically exile or invade villagers with an arbitrary loyalty value.
“Range Specification”
When expanding the size of a village, the area and direction of the land to be expanded can be specified.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
As announced earlier, additional skill abilities were added. In addition, the number in parentheses next to the skill has also changed from (0/5) to (2/10).
I guess, in the usual way, the numbers in parentheses are the current number of villagers and the maximum number of villagers.
“Yes, I think so too. According to the announcement, the site can be expanded.”
“And the reason why you can specify it is this ‘range specification’ ability.”
“Yeah, I’m going to go check it out right now and see how much it can expand.”
“Great, let’s get going!”
“Yes, I’ll go with you.”
