Chapter 135 – Building Boaboa’s Home
While we were walking to the base, I asked,
“Ije. Are you planting the seeds now?”
“Just finished.”
“Oh, that was fast.”
“Because everyone helped.”
Ije said happily.
“It was nostalgic for us. Working in a field again.”
“Yes. After fighting for so long, it’s nice to touch some dirt.”
Apparently, the Adventurers had enjoyed working in the fields.
Like me, many of them came from farming villages.
And so we returned to the base with Boaboa and dragon.
When I introduced them to the others, they were all in agreement that Boaboa and her baby should live with us.
We then had a lunch of barbecue meat. And then I decided to get to work.
Though, I first discussed with the others where would be a good place to build it.
“If they want a place to roll around in the dirt, then it would be best to be close to the forest.”
“You think so too, Victor?”
“Yes.”
“Ije. In which direction did you plan to expand the fields?”
“Uhhh… Can explain in the location?”
“Of course.”
And so we went out with Boaboa and dragon.
Ije, Fio, Kelly, Gisela, and Victor came as well.
As did Hippolius, Pii, Shiro and the wolf cubs.
Even some of the free Adventurers tagged along.
When we arrived at the field, Ije explained.
“Want to make field bigger on this side.”
“What about that side?”
“That side have too much rocks. And soil is poor.”
Ije said as we looked at the side close to the forest.
“I see. In that case, I will make the house around there. Is that alright, Boaboa?”
“Bubo!”
Apparently, Boaboa liked the spot.
“Hippolius. Could you help me cut down the trees?”
‘Leave it to me!’
Hippolius then grew larger, and started to knock down the trees.
“Kyuoooooo!”
Hippolius roared enthusiastically, and then used magic to pull out a tree by the roots.
“Hippolius really is amazing.”
“Gau?”
“You want to help too, dragon?”
“Gagau.”
“Alright. Thank you.”
And then dragon copied Hippolius and uprooted the trees.
As they were so big and strong, they cleared the area in no time.
“Thank you, Hippolius and dragon.”
“Kyuo-kyuo!”
“Grau.”
“Now we have enough material and land to build a house.”
‘Anything else to help with?’
“It’s fine. You can leave the rest to me.”
“Kyuo!”
“Thank you. You can go and play now.”
“Kyuo!”
And so as the others watched, I started with the construction work.
I laid out the wood materials, and then took out additional materials from my magic bag.
These included stone and metal ingots.
In general, the structure would be the same as Hippolius’s house.
However, it would be twice as big, so that dragon could fit inside as well.
First, I used my appraisal skill on the ground.
Compared to the soil in the base, there was less rock in the ground here.
Also, there were water veins deep down.
And it was not cold water, but hot spring water.
Perhaps we could dig for it later on.
Once I was finished appraising the soil, I used the skill on the wood and stone materials.
This part required a lot of concentration.
The characteristics of the wood and stone would greatly affect the overall quality of the house.
The information that the appraisal skill gave me was very important.
And the more time passed, the more the great quantity of information was forgotten.
And so once I finished appraising them, I used the crafting skill immediately, without waiting.
I concentrated, used magic energy, and built it as fast as possible.
The structure of Boaboa’s house was simple.
Like Hippolius’s house, there was only one room.
But since it was larger, I had to add something to support the roof.
And so I used iron ingots to create beams.
The floor was wooden, just like Hippolius’s house.
And then I laid stone under the floor, so that it wouldn’t sink under their weight.
The door was also the same. Only bigger.
And then I also made a separate small door for Boaboa’s child.
“That should do it. Boaboa. What do you think?”
“Bubui!”
“Grau!”
They seemed to like it very much.
“Mr. Theo. Your crafting skill is as impressive as ever.”
“Amazing!”
“Wuff-wuff.”
‘Let’s platy!’
“Wuff.”
‘Amazing.’
Gisela, Fio and Shiro also praised me.
And Kuro and Roro wanted to play now that I was finished.
Only Ruru was impressed.
“Bububui?”
“Grau-gau?”
Boaboa’s baby and dragon were asking if they could go inside.
“Of course, you can go in now.”
“Bui-bui!”
“Gagrau!”
And so they went inside, along with Fio, Shiro, and the wolf cubs.
They liked to do anything that seemed fun.
“By the way, where is Boaboa?”
I wondered and looked around. And then I saw that Boaboa was a short distance away.
Thanks for the treat.
