【☆★Announcement★☆】
There is a very important announcement in the afterword.
I would be happy if you read to the end.
I served curry to everyone as a meal.
There were quite a few people, but we managed somehow because we had the manpower of the Vegetable Familiars.
“It was delicious~…” “I’m full~…”
“The business is done. I guess it’s about time to go back to that place.”
The children are rubbing their bellies with happy expressions.
A small child with fox-like eyes approached me.
She’s a small child wearing something like a Japanese kimono?
“What is it?”
“Thank you.”
“Huh…”
“This. Curry. Thanks.”
The fox-eyed girl pulls out a strand of her own hair and hands it to me.
“Hair…?”
“Spirit Hair.”
“Spirit Hair?”
“Goodbye.”
The girl walks away, teetering.
…She disappeared halfway. Wha!?
“S-S-Seira-chan! Did you see that just now!?”
“Huh? What?”
“The girl just disappeared with a poof!?”
“…………”
Seira-chan looked at me with eyes that saw something pitiful.
“No, I’m serious. A girl in a kimono just disappeared with a poof!”
“Right. More importantly,”
More importantly!?
Huh, isn’t that important?
“T-That girl might be a ghost!”
“So?”
“So!?”
“Since there’s a God, it’s not strange for there to be ghosts, right?”
“Well… yeah, but…”
Huh, that’s your reaction to seeing a ghost…?
Luciel says.
“In this world, there are undead-type monsters normally. I’m not surprised.”
I see…
Unlike the other world, ghosts are normal here…
But… scary… that girl from before was a ghost…
“I got hair from a ghost…”
“Hair?”
“She said it was a thank you.”
“What are you going to do with something like that…?”
“Who knows…?”
Luciel and I tilt our heads.
“More importantly! We need to think about the next thing, right? The refugees will be sleeping outside if we don’t!”
I, a 29-year-old, am being scolded by Seira-chan, a 10-year-old.
“Well, then, let’s quickly build a town.”
“A town… you mean a town for the refugees to live in?”
“That’s right.”
“No… Mika. There’s no way you can make it that quickly.”
Seira-chan raises a finger.
“In order to build a town, you need to clear at least 1. the land, 2. build the outer walls, 3. construct the buildings, and 4. secure water. At the very least, you have to clear these four things, okay?”
Well, that’s true.
“Town building takes months. No matter how much manpower you have, it’s impossible to do it right away, right?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Everything will be fine by the end of the day.”
“Huh~? What do you mean by ‘somehow’…? How are you going to do it?”
Fufufu.
“Vegetable Familiars, come on!”
From the ■(Box), the Vegetable Familiars (including those with and without Vessel Bodies) come out all at once.
“Line up!”
The Potato Familiars line up in front of me with a rustle.
“Dan-sha-kun, please clear this area!”
“…………” Bishi!
Dan-sha-kun scatters with the Potato Familiars.
I take out a road roller from the ■(Box).
“What is that!?”
“It’s a road roller.”
“Ro…!? Huh…? What is that!? A monster!?”
“No, it’s a working vehicle that flattens roads.”
“Okay, everyone, let’s do it…!”
Whoosh…!
Zazazaza!
Shubabababa!
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!
“Land clearing complete!”
“Wait a minute!? Stooooooop!”
Seira-chan stops us.
“What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong!? What is this!”
Seira-chan points in front of her.
The place that was a grassland until just now, has been beautifully cleared, as if by magic.
“It’s the planned construction site for the new town.”
“What did you do!? It was too fast, I didn’t understand!?”
I explain what I did.
First, Dan-sha-kun and the others divided up the work of pulling out unnecessary weeds and removing small stones and other debris.
Then, the road roller driven by Dan-sha-kun went Wiiiiiiin! and cleared the area I designated.
“And that’s the result. What about it?”
“It’s not ‘what about it’! It’s too fast!”
Seira-chan tsukkomi’d.
Luciel asks me in her place.
“How were you sending instructions to Dan-sha-kun and the others?”
I’m holding a tablet in my hand. It’s an ordinary tablet I bought on KAMIZON.
“This is a view from the sky. I’m using a map app to show a bird’s-eye view. I’m sharing this image with the Familiars. They cleared this area.”
“I-I see… The Vegetable Familiars and God can share senses, right?”
“That’s right. That’s why everyone was able to reliably share my instructions.”
So, I had Dan-sha-kun and the others clear the area within the circle.
“To clear this wide area in just a few tens of minutes…”
Seira-chan is stunned.
In the meantime, I summon the next Familiar.
“Satsuma-kun, come on!”
“…………” Pon.
A Sweet Potato Familiar with a hammer on his back appears in the air.
“It’s okay if it’s a simple house like this, so just make it quickly and appropriately. Also, please arrange them appropriately so that there are no neighborhood troubles.”
“…………” Bishi!
Satsuma-kun and the Sweet Potato Familiars scatter.
Tomato-kun also joins them.
Ton ton ton!
Kan kan kan kan!
Gyuiiiiiiiiiin!
“Done.”
“Wait a minuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
I was stopped again.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s not ‘what’s wrong’! What is this!? A large number of buildings have sprung up all at once in the cleared area!?”
Countless one-story brick houses are arranged.
“What did you do!?”
“I asked Satsuma-kun and the others to build them. I told them to build houses like this.”
What’s displayed on the tablet is a one-story house.
This is an image I picked up from the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet).
The interior and blueprints were picked up from the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet).
They looked at it and immediately started designing.
“If Satsuma-kun is here, he can make a house in one shot with the Divine Hammer Mjolnir.”
With the Divine Hammer’s ability, Super Alchemy, if you have the materials, you can make what you want in an instant.
I bought the bricks on KAMIZON, and then Satsuma-kun just hits them with the Divine Hammer, and voila, the house is complete.
“Then, just place the houses in the necessary places… See, it’s easy, right?”
“Where is it easyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”
Well, it may not be easy for humans.
“But, you know, I’m a God, right? It’s only natural that I can do this much.”
“Well, that’s true, but that’s not the point!”
With Divine Power, I can easily do things like tapping the screen to make houses appear, like in a town-building game.
“Well, then, please take care of the outer walls and water supply, too.”
“…………” Bishi!
Dan-sha-kun and Satsuma-kun scatter.
Zumomomomomomo!
Zudododododododo!
Kan kan kan kan kan!
Seira-chan falls to her knees on the spot with a thud.
“This is different from the town building I know!”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right! Normally, town building takes months… or even years! And that’s… what is that!”
She points to the place where 50% of the outer walls have already been completed.
“It’s strange!”
“Strange… do you mean it’s slow even though I’m using Divine Power?”
“I mean it’s too fast!?”
Seira-chan coughs.
Luciel immediately casts healing magic on Seira-chan’s throat.
“Seira-dono… you can’t do that. If you keep tsukkomi’ing like that, your body won’t hold up.”
“Like that,” she says.
Isn’t that harsh…?
“Luciel~… I feel like I’m going crazy if I stay here~…”
“I understand, Seira-dono. It’s okay. That person is the one who’s strange. Seira-dono’s senses are normal.”
That sounded pretty harsh.
Well, as a result of leaving it all to the Vegetable Familiars, the town is completed quickly.
“…………” Tap tap.
“Hmm? Dan-sha-kun, what’s wrong?”
I read Dan-sha-kun’s thoughts. Hmm hmm…
“What is that potato saying?”
“He says the waterworks will take about three days.”
“Three days…”
“Three days…”
That’s…
“That’s going to take quite a while.”
“No, it’s fast! It’s strange that it will take only three days to bring water!”
But, you know.
“There are quite a few refugees right now, right? It’s going to be a problem if they don’t have drinking water for three days.”
“That’s true… but, can’t they just endure it for three days? Maybe we can buy water from KAMIZON.”
“I’ve used up quite a few points for town building, so I want to save as many points as possible.”
Hmm, what should I do?
And then, it was at that moment.
“Mika God-dono, something is glowing in your pocket?”
“Huh? What could it be…?”
I put my hand in my pocket.
“Ah, it’s the Spirit Hair I got from that ghost (temporary) from before.”
The Spirit Hair is glowing faintly…
Huh, scary… what is this…?
My spirit hair floated up into the air…
Blown by the wind, the spirit hair flew into the city.
“Hey, where are you going?”
The spirit hair moved towards the center of the city.
And then, thump.
The hair hardened like a needle and pierced the ground.
It was at that moment.
Gogogogogogo…
“Huh?”
“What, what!? The ground is shaking!?”
“I, I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you know!?”
DOPAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
“Water’s gushing out!?”
…Well, what do you know.
From the spot where the spirit hair needle had pierced, water was gushing out with great force.
～～～～～～
“The gushing water”
→Underground water. By chance, there was an underground water reservoir directly beneath this spot. The spirit hair stimulated it, and the water gushed out.
～～～～～～
“Apparently, there was underground water by chance right under this city…”
“Is such a super coincidence even possible!?”
“W, well…”
“So why don’t you understand your own power!? Isn’t it your power!?”
“I, I don’t know.”
“You don’t know anything!”
Well, anyway, even if it was a coincidence, we got underground water.
With this, the city’s water problem is solved.
