Despite the incident that dyed the pools water red, the fact remains that we have managed to build a new recreational facility.
Factoring in the sumrs heat, it was definitely popular among the villagers.
I had anticipated the requests for a pool where even small children could play in, so I also built a shallow one.
The thought of making heated pools when winter arrives has also crossed my mind.
I was getting ahead of myself though. Other than the pool, sumr-related food has grown in popularity as well.
A great example were the gigantic waterlons harvested in the villages orchards. And thanks to being preserved in a refrigeration facility, these waterlons could almost always be eaten cold.
I obtained the ability to build a refrigerator when my village level beca 9. In terms of default physical size, a refrigerator was as big as a storehouse.
Because temperature inside the facility could be changed depending on the occasion, it could also be used as a freezer.
Mhm, this waterlons so sweet, so juicy, and so delicious!
Selen said so while the corners of her mouth were drenched with the waterlons red juices.
(*If I can have just one of the seeds that Luke-sama spat outhaa, haa*)
For so reason, Millia hasnt eaten a single bite out of the waterlon piece she had in her hand.
Does she not like waterlons?
At that mont, a certain ga ca to my mind.
Do you guys know about waterlon splitting?
Whats that? Ive never heard of it before.
Selen replied so with a blank look on her face.
Its a ga where you have to smash a waterlon with a stick while blindfolded, making you needing to rely on hints that others will be giving you.
Ohh. Sounds fun.
Selen replied so, sounding interested.
Ok, lets do it!
Like that, we blindfolded Selen.
I placed a waterlon about 20 ters away, and then went a bit closer before shouting. I did so in order to avoid giving away the location of the waterlon.
The waterlon has been set!
On my signal, Selen drew out the two swords hanging from her hips.
H-hey, those are real swords! Thats dangerous!
Its fine. Im used to this.
Even if she says shes used to it, the fact remains that its dangerous to hold real swords while blindfolded.
However, contrary to my worries, Selen walked directly toward the waterlon without a trace of hesitation. It was as though she wasnt blindfolded at all.
And then
*Slash!*
You smashed, or rather, cut the waterlon so cleanly
Nothing to it.
How were you so sure of where the waterlon was though?
I sensed it.
You sensed where it was!?
Maybe she was just pretending that her eyes were covered and could actually see perfectly?
Hmm, that looks like fun.
Philia-san, who had waterlon seeds around her mouth, said so as she approached.
I see, so thats waterlon splitting, huh. May I give it a go?
Sure. Heres a stick you can use.
No, I think Ill use this.
She said so while holding up a bow.
Wait, hey, thats so dangerous!
Theres no need to worry.
Like that, a blindfolded Philia-san confidently drew her bow and let her arrow fly.
In the next mont, the arrow pierced the waterlon that was 50 ters away right in the center.
Eeeehhhow did you do that?
Its easy if you search for the waterlons presence.
What does search for the waterlons presence even an?
At any rate, waterlon splitting soon beca another hit in the village.
Curiously, the villagers have begun competing among themselves to see who could split waterlons in the flashiest way possible.
In another attempt, Selen managed to slice a great number of waterlons floating in the pool in an instant.
Philia-san also tried again, this ti shooting an arrow through a waterlon that was a kiloter away.
Of course, it wasnt just the two of them who tried.
The spearman Rando-kun demonstrated a technique that was able to skewer 10 waterlons seemingly all at once.
The strongman Goate-san simply swung his hand down toward the ground, and the waterlon nearby was smashed by the shockwave that erged from his chop.
The adventurer Hazena-san used fire magic to slice a waterlon in half. It was extrely hard to hold the flas back from burning the waterlon to ashes. Or so Hazena-san said after she succeeded.
Also, Manta-san from Mao village boasted that he could split a waterlon with his thing and proceeded to undress. Understandably, the guards arrested him for that. Thanks to Mack-san, Manta-sans father, pleading for him, it was decided that Manta-sans punishnt would only be to enter a rehabilitation facility for a while.
Contrary to my expectations of this being a one-ti-only event, waterlon splitting has already beco so synonymous with sumr for many of the villagers that most of them were saying that they would like to do it again in the years to co.
but can it still be called waterlon splitting at this point?
No waterlons were wasted in any of these events. They have all been eaten afterwards.
