Chapter 67
The outdoor toys I made were not well received so I made indoor type of entertainment tools .
First is kendama .
You don’t have to move around and you can play it alone so it is popular .
I also tried making yoyo but I can’t balance the left and right part so I stopped .
I made a spinning top but I can’t teach others how to use it since I can’t make it spin myself .
Why does it look so easy on TV?
……… .
Oh, they were able to make it spin without me teaching them how to .
Since they are pleased, let’s a.s.sume that it is good that I made it .
I’m only making toys for beast boys, I guess I should make toys for beast girls too… .
But I can’t think of anything .
Since they are girls… . otedama?
I had Zabuton make small bags and pack them with soybeans .
Originally, it should have been azuki bean .
I feel like planting azuki beans now .
I can make thick red bean paste by using sugar and also rice cake .
Let’s get back to the story, I tied up the otedama completing it .
I made ten for now .
「So, what should we do?」
Because I was asked so, I tried juggling three otedama .
… . I can’t so I tried it again using two .
Though I was not able to do it, I at least conveyed that they should play it using three otedama .
The beast girls, onis, and high elves showed interest in it .
They were able to do it in no time, up to five otedama .
Ah, they are even juggling by pa.s.sing it with each other .
Yep, I don’t need to teach them anything .
I’ll just work hard in making more otedama .
After that, I can now see several villagers playing with my handmade toys after meal .
Aside from chess, I also made another board game, shogi .
It was received by the villagers as another version of chess .
However, it is not as popular as chess because the kuros are having problems moving its pieces .
I also made go .
I remember the rules of go
because of a popular manga series in my previous world .
Since it will be difficult to suddenly introduce a 19 grid board, the one I made only has 9 grids .
It looks appealing .
Good .
I prepared 13 grid and 19 grid boards for future use .
Now, let’s return in making toys for the beastboys, so next one is… . sugoroku?
It can also be a practice for them to read characters so it may not be a bad idea .
I prepared a large board and draw a route .
Since this is the first one, it should be simple and looks good .
After that, I made a dice and play it first .
Throw .
The beastboys are only looking at the dice .
Umu .
This is a game where you don’t need to think . You just let the dice decide everything for you… . how about teaching them chinchirorin?
TN: Chinchirorin is a gamble in which two dice are thrown into a cup, turn it down, and then open to show the number combination .
No, that’s gambling .
Currently, the villagers don’t have personal property so gambling is not established .
Gambling huh . If gambling is established because of the entertainment tools I made, should I act as the banker?
I’m the only one who can give out a prize here .
I don’t mind things staying as it is but I probably should teach them a thing or two about currency just in case we’ll use it in the future .
But it might be useless because I’m don’t even know if currency will circulate in this village .
Ah, this is something I have to think about in the future .
I managed to induce the interest of the beastboys from the dice to sugoroku and have them play it .
It seems like there is a thing similar to dice in this world .
However, it is not hexahedron but a slightly distorted polyhedron .
It is said that symbols are written on the faces instead of numbers and they are mainly used for fortune telling and magic .
It seems like it is not something the general public know of .
.
I tried various things but it is difficult to make entertainment tools .
I found out that I am not looking things from their perspective .
The one that appealed the most to the beast boys was building blocks .
Yes, that’s right .
After all, they are children .
「Village chief, though all of them are of similar sizes, are these also building blocks?」
「No, those are mah-jong tiles . 」
I tried making cards but paper here is valuable .
All of them looks the same even if you turn them inside out . It is even hard to notice the different patterns carved on their faces .
Because of that, I tried sticking clay on the back side but when it doesn’t stick on the wood anymore when the clay dries up .
I tried my best to do something with the clay but since there’s no good result, i abandoned that idea .
After completing one set, I noticed that I’m the only one who knows the rules and calculate points . It has become a decoration .
「Is the rule complicated?」
「No, you just have to remember a lot of things . 」
For the time being, I gathered those who seemed to be free and have them play with me .
…… . .
Areh?
That’s strange .
Aside from me, everyone is an amateur .
They don’t even remember all the things regarding points calculation .
But why do I feel that their tile throwing is too precise… .
I enjoyed playing mah-jong .
But I won’t tell you the result .
Thirty kuros with spiderlings on their back came back .
Five beast… . five person-like monsters were with them .
Those monsters have an upper body of a human and snake lower body, they are lamias .
Everyone of them is female… . Looking at them, I feel like they are all intellectual beauty with long hair . I’m sure gla.s.ses suits them .
I’m wondering if they could do something about their jiggling b.r.e.a.s.t.s, they don’t have any cover on their upper body .
I don’t know where to look .
In addition, their long hair covers the pointy part of their chests that makes them look
them look more erotic .
Yes, I’m sorry .
I’m trying to make an effort not to look because the gazes of the villagers are painful .
Don’t be unreasonable .
I asked the spiderlings to make a tube-type bra so that can cover their chest .
Thought it is already too late for that now, it still needs to be done .
「Are you the master of these wolves?」
「Yes . 」
As soon as I answer, the representative of the lamia bowed and the others followed .
「We surrender to the wolves . Please spare our lives . 」
Even though you said that, I don’t have any intention of killing you in the first place… .
Lamia .
The lamia I know of are evil monsters that temps humans then strangles them with their snake lower body .
「Are you monsters that predate humans?」
「W-we don’t eat humans . 」
「They are not monsters . They are demi-humans . 」
The lamia representative answered my doubtful question in a panic .
I tried inquiring more about them to Frau who was near me .
「Even though they look like that, Lamia is a demi-human race . They are not monsters . Moreover, I never heard of them having a habit of eating humans . 」
It is said that monsters can’t talk .
I agree .
「I said something rude . Please forgive me . 」
And I apologize .
I apologize for saying that they predate humans .
I should think more before I speak .
Yup .
I’ve reflected on my action .
「Then, let’s return to the topic… . you are surrendering, did you fight with the kuros?」
「They were the ones who attacked us . 」
When I tried asking more, it seems like the lamias are living in the depths of the dungeon .
Or, it can be said that they are the ruler of that dungeon .
When the kuros attacked them, they resisted for a long time… . and since they no longer have the power to, they surrendered .
「Uuhh, they are strong and tough, and they can also evade magic . Even if we climb up to a place where they can’t follow, the spiders will come at us, what the h.e.l.lwhat the h.e.l.l was that?」
I’m very sorry .
However, the kuros are looking at me with faces saying “We won against the prey, praise us” .
The spiderlings are probably feeling the same .
………
I praise the 30 kuros and the spiderlings on their back .
「Good, good, good, you did it . 」
After praising them one by one, I asked questions to the lamias again in order to determine what I should do with them .
「Is the inner part of the dungeon safe? Is it possible for you to continue living there?」
「Eh? It’s safe . Though our war potential decreased, there’s not much damage since they waited for us to surrender . 」
I asked a few more question to be able to grasp their current state . It seems like their village was not destroyed but all their livestock are killed .
…… .
If it were me, if someone killed my chickens, cows, goats, and horses, I’ll go berserk .
「Do you have any hostile intention with this village?」
「We have none . We completely surrender . 」
Maa, of course they won’t . They surrendered to merely 30 kuros and spiderlings and now they can see how many of them are here .
Even if they have hostile intention, they’ll probably just keep it in their heart .
「I understand . Then, you may go . 」
「Eh?」
「Yes, you may go home . 」
「Is it alright?」
「Ah, could it be that you want to live here?」
「N-no, it will be more convenient for us to live in a cave . 」
「Then, you may return . 」
For now, because I don’t want them to bear another grudge for going here for nothing, I plan on giving them souvenirs .
Souvenirs… . is crops acceptable?
I put crops in a barrel and tried to give them as much as they can carry but I never thought that they’ll use their snake part to hold three times a normal bipedal person can .
Can they still move?
It seems like there’s no problem .
「Thank you very much . 」
I think that we just formed a friendly relationship with the lamias .
They are bringing something from the dungeon here from time to time to barter with our crops .
