Hi everyone
I won’t be able to make daily releases since translating and editing are taking a lot of time
and also I have work to do, so it will be every 2 days unless I find an editor
anyway, enjoy today’s chapter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The great spirit of water and the lower spirit of water came. She looks like a gentle and beautiful spirit, I would be glad if she decides to live here.
“Sylphy, I’d like to show her the well, is it okay?”
“Oh, that’s right, Yuuta please remove the rock.”
Following sylphy’s instruction, I stored the rock that was covering the well.
“Dine, this is the well that I told you about, please check it”
“Ara ara, that’s a big well, and it’s very deep, certainly I can feel the presence of water, Yuuta-chan you really did well .”
For some reason, I got patted on the head. Well, it’s not a bad feeling.
“Hey Yuuta, what are you doing making a love-struck face, let’s go”
It seems that I got happy when she praised me. But I’m scared of Sylphy who is complaining while mumbling. Some of the words that I can hear are about “big t.i.ts” or “not just spirits but even human compared mine with hers”. It seems that a breast topic is like a landmine for Sylphy. Let’s keep that in mind.
“Okay”
I cast a light spell and started going down, I can’t believe that I digged it this much seeing how deep it really is. Bell is flying around with the Dolphin spirit, it seems that they already got friendly with each other.
That was a long way down. It will be very hard if I need to go all the way down for each time I use water, I can somehow remember the design of the hand pump, but I don’t think that it will work out with this depth.
“So Dine, how is the water?”
“Wait a moment, I will check it now.”
She put her hand in the water and closed her eyes. I wonder what can she know by doing that? The turbidity of the water settled down over the night and now it just looks like beautiful and clear water. It will be really good if it doesn’t have any problems.
“Fufu, It’s a very good water source, there’s plenty and there is no pollution, this water flows over from living land all the way to here. There won’t be any problems drinking it.”
All the way from Living land that about hundred days of walking… Nature is amazing. And the fact that I can drink it without a problem is even more amazing. Even if Dine decided not to live here, I can still secure some water to drink. Well, it will be better if she agreed to live here.
“So Dine, can you live here?”
I tried asking her while getting a little excited.
“Hmm, I’m sorry, that will be difficult right now, but if you can arrange the environment a little then it will be okay”
“Environment? What am I supposed to do?”
“I heard from Sylphy-chan that Yuuta-chan has great tools, right? Try to reinforce and harden the walls of the well with rocks, and try widening the entrance and make it cone-shaped. Reinforce it with rocks, also make sure no sand flows inside. If you do that then I can lead the water all the way up and make water spring. It will be tough, can you do it? ”
Hm? It certainly seems tough but it’s all good for me, isn’t it? Although making a water spring is overdoing it, but if that means that I don’t have to go all the way down and up every time I use water, then it’s more than enough.
“Sylphy said that without a contract spirits can’t lend their power, making a water spring is considered a big help …….”
“Ara, making spring water in the land of death is considered within the duties of a water’s spirit, I would be praised for doing that instead”.
Is that so, the rules aren’t quite clear so I don’t really understand, but when I looked at Sylphy. She nodded at me. Does that mean it’s okay?
“I understand, it’s true that the tools are amazing but I’m just an amateur so don’t expect too much, also I would like to go to the sea today to secure some food, so I’m going to start with the work tomorrow.”
“Okay, I will stay here, so close the entrance with the rock, I also don’t want a zombie to fall in the well, also if you are going to the sea then you should make a contract with that child, she can help you get fish from the sea.”
Fish!!, seriously!!, since I don’t have a fishing rod or net, I was going to dive into the sea and get some seaweed, but if she can get some fish then it will be awesome.
“But, will it be safe to leave the water and go into the land of death? Spirits get their power consumed when they are in a place where the balance of nature has collapsed.”
“That’s what the contract is for, as long as she can get magical power from Yuuta-chan, then there won’t be a problem.”
“In that case, I would like to make a contract.”
I called the dolphin spirit.
“Say, do you want to form a contract with me”
When I asked, the dolphin spirit nodded with Queue sound and started rubbing her cheeks against mine,……so cute.
“Fufu, this child seems okay with it too, then Yuuta-chan, give this child a name.”
Ah, that’s right, I need to think of a name. That’s troubling,……….No, she can get me fish. I need to think of an amazing name.
She is a dolphin so…… Fin, no that’s very simple, I need to think of a better name since she is a spirit of water she needs a name that has a relation to water, ….water, water, lake … Riku, this doesn’t sound bad, also Rain is a good one too. Water has a much better use for names compared to wind.
“Okay, I’ve decided. Your name is Rain, it means rain. I thought of it with the hope that rain may fall on the land of death. What do you think?”
(TL note: He named her Rain which is the English word and explained that it mean “Ame” which is the j.a.panese word for rain”
“Queue! Queue !!”
She started rubbing her cheeks against mine while rising her sound. Does this mean she liked it?
“The contract is done, congratulations.”
Hmm, the second contract finished quickly.
“Yuuta, what’s the matter?”
“No, it’s just that the contracts finish so easily that I don’t feel any sense of realism ”
“Oh, if that’s the case, then please look forward to the contract with me, because it’s a contract with a great spirit. So you will have that strong sense of realism that you desire”
“What … is it that amazing? What kind of thing will happen?”
“Huh, you will find out when we do it.”
Hmm, it makes me curious when she says it like that, although I have a feeling that I’m dancing on the palm of her hand. But I will do my best to level up.
“I need to rise my magical power to B first, okay then, I will do my best.”
After playing with Rain and calming her down, I filled a plastic bottle with water and then bid farewell to Dine as we climbed up the stairs.
After going up the long stairs, I closed the well with the rock.
I started to prepare for breakfast.
Putting water into the stove that I made and added the ramen noodles with the soup powder to it, in j.a.pan I would have added onion and eggs but unfortunately, I don’t have any of that here. After that, I moved the noodles and soup into the bowl.
……Thanks for the meal, though I wanted to enjoy the taste, but my hunger got the best of me after smelling the ramen aroma.
“It seems that you were really hungry”
“hahaha… kinda of.”
This is little embarra.s.sing. I drank water from the bottle. It’s really good that I don’t have to worry about how much water is left. Let’s try to get a good quant.i.ty of fish at the sea so that I can fill my stomach. Now let’s get going.
“Sylphy. Thank you.”
“What are you saying suddenly?”
No, I just wanted to say thank you, it makes me feel sad when you look at me with “what happened to him” like eyes, I wonder what does Sylphy think of me?
“No, you are even taking me to the sea now. And thanks to you, I was able to meet Dine and Rain. So I just wanted to say my thanks to you.”
“Oh, is that so, it was sudden so it surprised me, well I’m enjoying this so no need to thank me, but if you want to say thanks no matter what then let’s see……just live an interesting life.”
“interesting life…..if it’s a life that’s full of events with no resting then I refuse.”
“That also seems interesting. Well, just live like you want, you are a person from a different world who can see spirits. I’m sure you will get involved in something, I expect great things from you.”
“You don’t need to expect that.”
I don’t have a particular longing for a peaceful life, but I also don’t want a life that’s full of troubles. Just living in the land of death is enough, after I get through this, I want to live only for doing my hobbies.
“By the way Sylphy, Bell and Rain got friendly immediately, is there things like affinity between spirits? For example the spirit of fire having a bad relationship with the spirit of water”
Bell is riding on Rain, a little girl who rides over dolphin, is that okay? In the first place I’m accepting the facts of a flying dolphin, does that mean that I’m already poisoned with the logic of another world
“There is no such thing, every spirit is necessary to maintain the balance of nature, well there are some spirits who don’t get well with each other for personality problems.”
“Hmm, Sylphy do you have someone who you don’t get along with?”
“I do.”
The moment I asked that her eyes become so sharp. Did I step on a landmine by any chance? While I was intensely thinking of a way to change the topic, a helping hand was extended from my reliable contracted spirits.
“The sea~~”
“Queue”
Bell and Rain, you both are very good girls.
“Oh, it seems that we can see the sea, we should hurry a little. We need to get a lot of food, and also fixing the well need’s to be finished.”
“That is right, also before we go back to the well, you should also get a large number of rocks from the rocky mountains around here.”
“Hm? That’s right, there were a few mountains around the well, we will need a lot of rocks for the maintenance of the well.”
“Yes, also you can increase the s.p.a.ce that’s around the water spring and surround it with big rocks. It won’t prevent ghosts and wraith, but having a wide s.p.a.ce that other monsters can’t enter should be useful somehow.”
“That sounds good since water comes out, it will be easier to live if I build a house in the area around the well.”
“Yeah, also it won’t feel good having the water that you finally found getting ruined by monsters.”
If I’m going to encircle it with rocks, then I shouldn’t make it very narrow or it will be suffocating. It should be about the size of a large gym, that way it will be more easy to live, also since there is plenty of water, will I be able to make fields if I cultivate it?
The soil is dead, just cultivating and giving water won’t work. If I can go to the living land and get into the forest, then I will be able to get a lot of humus and soil. But if I managed to get to town, then there will be no need to make a field in the first place.
Well, it won’t be a very hard thing to do since I can cut the rock easily and then store it in the magical bag, so maybe I should expand the s.p.a.ce around the well.
“That’s right, let’s get a lot of food and rocks and then go back.”
“I think that’s good”
Alright. First of all, let’s get a lot of fish from the sea.
