CH 110
Chapter 110: Banquet (1)
As we got closer, the panoramic scene of Bohd Village came into view. The size of the town seemed to have gotten twice larger than when I left 3 years ago.
New protective walls were built in addition to the ones I made.
「Wha?! Mo, MONSTER!!!」
The gatekeeper’s legs failed at the sight of Tsubaki’s large body equipped with her intimidating armor.
When I made Tsubaki stop in front of the gate, people from the village came gathering at the gate to see if there was something going on.
「Ah! Ain’t that Takumi!? Guys! Takumi came back!」
「Ooo! It really is Takumi!」
「Here I was, wondering who came riding that amazing carriage. Takumi returned!」
「Takumi!」
「Ah! Vanga-san!」
As I sat on the coachman’s seat. I heard a nostalgic voice. It was the hunter, Vanga-san’s. Martha-san approached too.
I got off the carriage, delighted at my reunion with Vanga-san and Martha-san. I was looking forward to the passionate bearhug-like embrace from Martha-san.
「So how is it, Takumi? The village got a lot bigger, didn’t it?」
「A sewer system was also established, right?」
「Yeah, we got various purifying magic devices that Takumi made, and the number of people also suddenly increased in Bohd village, after all. We couldn’t leave village how it was before.」
「Ou! The carriage would be an obstacle if it’s left in a place like this! Takumi, bring it in quickly!」
「Oh right! We left your cabin alone, so park the carriage there!」
「Eh?! The cabin is still there?」
I was told that the cabin I used when I was under the care of the village was left as is.
「That’s because Takumi is the benefactor of this village. We left it so you could come back whenever you wanted.」
「Hey! How long will you dilly dally there?! Tonight will be a banquet!」
「Ooo! Ya got that right!」
「Alright! I’m gonna hunt some game!」
Vanga-san and the others dispersed from the gate front to prepare for a banquet.
「Takumi-sama, you’re loved by everyone, huh.」
「Yeah, they really received me well. Now then, let’s move Tsubaki to the cabin.」
I moved Tsubaki in the direction of the cabin.
It’s not yet paved, but even the road had become clean and wide.
The number of houses had doubled, and stores and workshops also lined the streets. In just 3 years, this development had been boosted by Margrave Volton’s support and the investment of the Papeck Company.
「…… it’s only been 3 years, but I’ve missed it a lot.」
I stopped the carriage by the cabin and looked at my former dwelling once more.
「It’s small, but it’s a well maintained building.」
「Oh, Laeva, you get it? Even so, when I was in Bohd village, there were still only few things I could do, so that might have been my limits at the time.」
I called Kaede and mini Titan from the Subspace.
「Master, Kaede will go hunting too!」
「Then, can you please go with her, Sophia? Kaede knows this area well.」
「Yes.」
「Got it, Master! Sophia-ane, let’s go!」
When Sophia and Kaede left to go hunt, Maria and Marnie cleaned the cabin, and Laeva began to inspect the cabin.
「Akane-san and Lulu-chan can rest in the cabin.」
「Lulu will clean too!」
Lulu-chan said so and ran to where Maria and Marnie were.
「Then shall we go in?」
「Yes.」
The bed remained in the cabin, but since I brought the furniture with me before, I took out a table and chairs equal to our numbers.
「Please sit, I’ll brew some tea immediately.」
「Okay, ………… did you live here?」
Akane-san looked around inside the cabin curiously. They began living at the castle the moment they were summoned, so a small cabin like this was probably novel to her. Even in Japan, it was probably an environment high school students in the city wouldn’t connect with.
「Yep, the place I landed in here in this world was a meadow a few days’ walk from this place. The first people I came into contact with here were the people of Bohd village. Then I was given permission to use this cabin, and I spent my time smithing and making potions here.」
While watching Maria, Marnie, and Lulu-chan clean the interior of the cabin, I first cleaned the kitchen with purifying magic and boiled some water.
「Takumi-sama, are we staying in this cabin tonight?」
「No, I think the carriage is fine.」
As one would expect, it’s impossible for everyone to stay in the cabin. Sophia, Maria, Marnie and I can sleep in the cabin, but for Akane-san, Lulu-chan, and Laeva, it would be too direct and embarrassing.
Because it’s a tiny cabin, the cleaning finished easily, so Maria and the others drank tea and rested as well.
「They said there would be a banquet, but we should offer the meat in our Magic Bags, right?」
「You’re right. I’ll also offer the meat I have stocked up in my Item Box.」
After everyone drank their tea, we went to the village plaza and offered to help prepare for the banquet.
「Takumi-chan is such a smooth operator, huh. All your women are beautiful aren’t they?」
「N-no, Martha-san. Not all of them.」
「Oh? Then that means that some of them are, right?」
「Aー, uu, well, yes.」
When we went to the plaza, Martha-san found me and teased me regarding Sophia-san and the girls.
「What’s this, what’s this, Martha, what’s going on?」
Ah, this is bad, the wives have gathered.
「No, nothing.」
「Well, listen here~ Didn’t Takumi-chan bring these beauty-sans?」
Yep, the wives mobbed and teased me.
It was then that Sophia and Kaede came back.
「？！」
Martha-san and the others froze when they saw Kaede.
「Ah, welcome back Kaede, Sophia.」
「We’re back Master, we hunted a lot of prey, you know?」
「We have returned.」
「Eh! You’re Kaede-chan, right?」
「Eh, now that you mention it, her lower half is a spider.」
「Martha-san, long time no seeee.」
「Oh my! You’ve become so cute!」
After that, Kaede was surrounded by the wives and they were being affectionate with her. They definitely wanted her threads.
See? Sure enough, Kaede was kidnapped.
「Now then, shall we dismantle them?」
「………… as you say.」
After that, everyone but Kaede went ahead and dismantled the prey Sophia and Kaede hunted.
As for Titan, I had him go out and check if there were any abnormalities around the village.
Sophia and Kaede had brought back a lot of prey. The carcasses, majority of which were Blade Deer and Horned Rabbits, Rock Birds, Big Boar, and the like from this area, stored in the Magic Bag were dismantled, and the meat on their bones were sliced up.
As the dismantling progressed smoothly, I began preparing to cook.
There were a lot of people, so I wanted to cook something as simple as possible. If it’s barbequing, I can marinate and grill it.
I made a stove for grilling with Earth magic.
I received some wood and transmuted them into charcoal. I also quickly made a grill with my stocked iron ore using Alchemy, Earth magic, and Smithing magic.
「As expected of Takumi-sama. Your mastery of chantless Alchemy and Smithing magic is amazing!」
「Well, it’s thanks to Norn-sama.」
Laeva had also been able to activate Alchemy chantlessly recently, but it’s still limited to simple alchemy.
Mine was a result of the Norn-sama’s favoritism, so I was feeling guilty towards Laeva.
Vanga-san also returned with some game and the entire village prepared for the feast.
With the sun setting and the bonfire blazing, the banquet began.
