Chapter 69: I’ve been living with the past every day since then
Translated by X-treEdited by X-tre
[Temptation of the Evil God ends. There will be no more enemy attacks today.]
I let out a sigh of relief when I saw the red letters on the screen, my fifth ti since I started this ga. The PC screen shows the villagers rejoicing with their hands in the air.
I’ve been through the “Temptation of the Evil God” event, which is always held at the end of the month, many tis, but I think I’ve handled it pretty well for the fifth ti. Oh, I should tell the villagers that it’s over by the oracle.
“It’s been two months already…….It goes by fast.”
Beautiful images that could be mistaken for live action were seen in the village on the screen.
“Well, they are real people.”
I’ve been to the ga world you see on this computer screen…….Don’t worry, I’m sane. The world that I thought was a ga was really a different world that existed, and by chance, I ended up in that world. Sohow, I managed to return to the original world and continue to play the ga as before.
No, there were a number of things that had changed from before. First, let’s talk about the ga. My level in the ga had been raised to 3. Maybe it’s because of this, but to my surprise, the dialogue of the ga characters is now fully voiced!
“Ladies and gentlen, the gods have ordained that you have survived the Temptation of the Evil Gods.”
A female priestess is reading the words floating in the Bible and announcing their contents to the villagers. Chem has a clear and pleasant voice today. It’s soothing just to listen to it.
“Yay. No more monsters!”
Hearing this, a cute little girl with a small smile jumped up and down, expressing her happiness. I was relieved to see that she was as full of energy as usual. That’s how Carol should be.
“It is done. Then we’ll have to repair the fence and deal with the monsters we killed.”
Even though the battle has just ended, the scarred and brawny warrior does not rest and moves on to repairing the damage. Gams is still the sa, isn’t he? I appreciate the fact that I can rely on you, but you should take so ti off.
“Well, we managed to get through this ti as well. Thank you all for your hard work.”
The skinny man, who is also the chief of this village, is attending to the villagers who have fought. He said a few words to each of them, and made sure to take care of the won and children who were not in the fight. It was a good decision to appoint Lodis as the village chief.
“Good work, everyone! I’ve made a delicious al for you. And Gams, don’t worry about fixing anything, just eat first!”
A woman with red hair and healthily tanned skin is laughing as she grabs Gams firmly by the shoulders as he turns to go to work. She is the wife of the village chief, but she has more presence than the chief. She is the mother of this village. Overwheld by her power, Gams let out a small breath and turned around to head for the village cafeteria. I’m glad Laila is here. None of the old mbers can resist her.
“So, shall we eat our fill?”
A neutral figure who commanded a group of beautiful people with bows, her lustrous black hair just waving in the breeze was a picture in itself. Several of the villagers, both n and won, looked on with envy as they watched the group of elves go by.
I can see why you’re admiring them. Even models and actresses don’t co close to being this beautiful. Murus in particular is a strikingly beautiful woman. I can understand why Chem and Carol are so wary of her, even glaring at her when they see her standing next to Gams and talking to him.
“I’m hungry.”
“Let’s eat.”
Two dressed, bipedal red pandas walk together to the dining hall. They are the village mascots and woodworkers, a couple of beastn. I’m not sure if I should have let Kang and Ran mooch off of as much as they did during their stay in the village…….I regret that. The eight of them are the oldest mbers of the group.
The first five were Gams, Chem, Lodis, Laila and Carol, then Murus went in and out, then in and out again, then Kang, Ran and his wife. The cave that had been our stronghold, covered only with a fence, was now so magnificent that we could call it a village without being questioned.
Once again, I looked down on the village from above. The cave, which was the original base of operations, has since been turned into a mining site after the explosion, and has beco one of the village’s valuable sources of inco.
With the mine in the background, a semi-circular fence was built with wooden stakes, and the village was built within the fence, but the extent of the fence has expanded considerably. In the early days, we could only secure a plot of land equivalent to a small garden, but now there is enough space to accommodate all the more than sixty villagers.
There are only two tents left that were used in the beginning. In the past two months, the number of wooden houses in the village has increased dramatically, largely due to the increase in the number of new residents who are carpenters and the elves’ skill at woodworking.
Most of them are log cabins because numbers and speed were important, but now that everyone has a place to live, they are building more elaborate houses. It’s a good thing that we can now afford it.
Incidentally, the building under construction seems to be a small church dedicated to the God of Fate. I wanted the villagers to build the facilities necessary for their daily lives first, so I urged the oracle to leave the church for later, but the villagers insisted.
As a person playing the role of the God of Fate, I’m glad to see that their priorities are high, but I’m worried that they should focus more on themselves. Currently, the total population of the village where the ga “Village of Fate” is based is sixty-seven. A village of a hundred people may not be too far away.
There are forty-three humans, twenty-two elves and two beastn. This is the result of the population continuing to grow after my return to the real world from the village. There is a worry about monsters attacking the village, but it is blessed by the God of Fate and has plenty of food and a good living environnt.
Well, the one who is actively spreading these rumors is Doldold, a peddler who cos to this village. The villagers who co to the village on Doldold’s recomndation are highly valued for their character, and they also have so skills or are survivors of the village where Gams and his friends used to live, so the village is growing smoothly without any major problems.
“Whoa, Destiny’s curious, too.”
The golden lizard that sits on top of my computer desk, peering into the village with has a tough, armor-like outer skin, but when you look at it closely, it has an indescribable charm. Right now, I’m admiring it while nibbling on so fruit, just like .
The na is Destiny and the type of lizard is…..basilisk. It is not a creature of this world, but a creature from another world sent from the “Village of Fate.” His specialties are his poisonous breath and petrifying gaze. I can’t tell you how many tis I’ve been saved by Destiny’s abilities. He’s my trusty roommate. He’s not looking at the villagers……but at a lizard.
It looks almost the sa, but a little slimr and silver in color. The lizard in the village is a basilisk as well, and it is actually a newcor that I got from the “Egg Gacha”.
The “Egg Gacha” is a free monthly event, and the lizard hatched from the egg I won. I did the gacha a total of three tis during my stay in the village and after I ca back, and the other two tis I got fish eggs and chicken eggs.
The chickens laid eggs every day and there were more chickens from the chicks that grew from them, and now there are over ten. I’m happy that they were hens, but they can lay eggs without a rooster to mate with. The chickens work as valuable livestock that provide eggs for the village.
There was nothing we could do about the other egg, the fish egg, so Carol released it into a nearby river…….I hope they are growing well. Destiny ca back to my world with , but nothing has changed in terms of the village’s strength since there is a basilisk to replace him. By the way, I’ve set her as a “ssenger” so she can follow my commands.
The na is apparently given by Carol is……Gochupicchu. The reason for this is that she has a rugged and cute body. I was impressed that when Destiny heard the na, he looked at and Carol alternately and patted his chest.
The village was going quite well. The “Temptation of the Evil God,” which I was worried about, has been quiet the last two tis. I’m getting better, but this was a much easier battle than the last one. It would be nice if the players on the evil god side gave up on this village, but I’ll keep my……guard up.
After taking a breath, I got up from my chair and did so stretching. Sitting all the ti is quite tiring. I checked the clock by my desk and it was already evening…….Oh, I have to get ready for work! I hurriedly changed into my work clothes and threw my wallet into my pocket. When I ran downstairs, I found my mother arranging only my food on the dining table.
“You’ve finally co down. I was going to call for you.”
“Don’t worry. I just rembered.”
My mother is smiling bitterly at , and I say a few words back. It’s a normal scene in a typical household……It may look like it, but it’s progress that I couldn’t have predicted a few months ago.
I was a 30-year-old recluse NEET until I encountered that ga, “Village of Destiny.” That’s how I ended up working in the cleaning industry, albeit part-ti. Ties with family mbers are rapidly being restored, and while it’s not quite……like it used to be, it’s a far cry from the NEET days.
“Where are you working today?”
“I heard it’s a new site. The boss said it’s a recently built building.”
“I see. Well, I’ll have to clean it up so they’ll like it.”
“Right. Thanks for the food. I’ll be back.”
“Have a good day.”
The joy of going to work and being told, “Have a good day.” When I was a NEET, I used to agree with people who wrote on the Internet that “people who work are stupid,” but now that I actually work, I can’t say such a thing even if I wanted to. As I left the house and waited by the side of the road, looking out at the fields and rice paddies in front of , a wagon pulled up.
“Hey, man. What took you so long?”
The person who called out to , lowering the window pane, was the president, who looked like he would be more suited to be a hunter in the mountains.
“No, I just left the house.”
When I opened the door of the wagon and got in, there were already two employees sitting there, Ms. Cape and Mr. Yamamoto. Mr. Yamamoto was not only involved in the cleaning work, but also in the “Village of Destiny,” but he has lost his mory of it now.
“I guess we can relax for a while now that we’ve gotten over the hump of March.”
As usual, Mr. Yamamoto talked to in a casual manner. I am very grateful to him, as I am not a communicative person.
“That’s true. we were really busy with work in March.”
I shudder just thinking about it. During the month of March, there were a lot of requests for cleaning work in order to keep the company as clean as possible, as all companies welco new employees in April. It was not unusual for to visit three sites a day, and I was even working full-ti.
“March saved us all a lot of trouble. Expect a lot of money for that.”
The president seed to have heard him and said sothing like that while driving.
“We get extra bonuses this ti of year. Don’t worry, you’ll get one too.”
The work is busy in March and at the end of the year, but the human relations and pay structure are solid, plus the shifts are easy to arrange. I wondered if this was the white company I had heard so much about. I don’t have any experience of working in a black company, so I can’t compare.
Things are going well in the village, and I can say that things are going well at work. I hope it continues like this every day. As we gazed out the window, the wagon picked up speed and headed for our destination.
