I made a day trip to the labyrinth city to buy supplies for the village of spirits, and returned to paradise with a full schedule, although I thought I was a bit overscheduled. If you work hard, you can make it work even if something unplanned happens.

When I entered the living room, no one was there. The little army plus Gina seem to have already gone to bed. Are the Great Spirits at the brewery?

"Good night, Sylphie. I'll take care of what you bought, but what are you going to do after that?"

"Right, tomorrow we'll pull the nomos out and have them build a dining hall, a children's hostel, and a general store. It will be a simple stone structure, but it should be able to take some shape. And I'll scout out a cook for the diner and a clerk for the general store.

"Things are moving pretty fast, are you okay with that?"

"I would have liked to take it a little slower, that's for sure. But, well, even if you make the general framework, you can always tweak it later. There are a lot of kids looking forward to it, so we adults have to work a little harder.

Sylphy answers me with a wry smile. I think we need to create a welcoming environment first, and then take time to develop it. There may be more middle class spirits, lower class spirits, and floating spirits in the spirit palace than I had imagined.

"I see, but it's a little sad that the only stores are a general store and a cafeteria. Our little army will be happy to have more people to play with, and when the spirits come to play, they can freely use the park and the swimming pool. And the plaza when it's finished."

"Oh, it's a big difference between having a place to play and not having a place to play. Thank you, Yuta.

You're welcome."

After that, I have a brief meeting with Sylphy about the village of spirits. This roughly completes our schedule. Well, I'm tired too.

I'm going to bed.

"Yes, good night, Yuta. Oh, I knew you'd bring out some of the barrels of sake we bought for the spirits at the brewery. The spirits there must be tired from the discussion, so I'll bring them some sake. Yes, it won't be enough, but about ten barrels will do.

Ten barrels with more than 30 spirits, I must be poisoned by spirits. It's too much trouble to think about it, so I leave ten barrels of sake with Sylphy and go back to my room.

I guess Sylphy and the others wanted to put all their energy into the brewery, but they were defeated by the pressure of the kids. I guess it will be sooner than expected for the village of spirits to be in a minimal shape.

"Yoo-tah, good morning!" "Coo-coo!" "Good morning!" "Coo-coo!" "It's morning!" ......"

I wake up and slowly drink a cup of coffee. When I wake up and leave the room, Bell and his friends come charging in.

They greet me in the morning and try their best to tell me what they did yesterday. Apparently, they took Dine and Dolly out to the planned plaza yesterday, and with their advice, they decided where and what to build. They seem to be having a lot of fun with it, and I'm looking forward to seeing the plaza when it's finished.

He goes to the living room and exchanges morning greetings with the others gathered there. We have breakfast while discussing our plans for the day. It seems that not only Belle and her friends, but also Gina and Fukuchan are enjoying building the plaza, and they tell me about their plans with a twinkle in their eyes.

It is impressive that Gina and Belle seem to have grown closer to each other through building the plaza together, and they call each other by name in a casual manner. When Gina and the others were invisible, they used to call the Bells by their first names.

Or maybe it was because they could see each other that they stopped calling each other by "sir". They look much younger than Kikka. It would be strange to call them "sir".

"Okay, let's act as we discussed. Let's see, Gina, you want rocks and lumber for the plaza site, right? Are you sure you don't want me to help with the processing?"

"Yes, Tulu and Tamamo promised to help me with the processing. Uri is very excited about working on the rocks, and I'm sure we won't have to bother the master.

Gina says confidently. ......I'm a little sad that they can't rely on me, but as a master here, I have to be happy for the growth of my students.

Since the creation of the plaza is a task that I have given to the little army plus Gina, it is only natural that they should try to get as little help from me as possible. ...... I'm not trying to alienate you.

"Master, is something wrong?"

"No, no, it's nothing. I'll give you three two-meter square rocks and ten pieces of wood.

"Oh!"

I go out of the house, take the rocks and wood out of the magic bag, and put them in the magic bag that Gina uses. The magic bag is a pain in the ass because you can't communicate directly between the bags. It takes a lot of time and effort to take the bag out and put it back in. This is the only weak point of the magic bag.

"Well then, master, I'm off."

"Oh, don't be too hard on yourself."

I watch the little army + Gina happily head off to the planned plaza construction site, and I turn to Sylphy and the others.

"...... I'd be glad if you'd stop giving me that warm look."

"Huh, because Yuta, it's obvious that you're lonely. You should rely on me more! I'm sure that's what you were thinking."

Sylphy unknowingly ...... no, she's fully aware of it and she's egging me on.

"...... Well, we're going to build a village of spirits, aren't we? Nomos is going to build the building, right?"

Deane says, "Yuta-chan is pretending not to hear me," but I ignore her. No matter how hard we try, we can't change our disadvantage.

"Well, first we'll need a large dormitory, a dining room, and a general store. Individual houses, roads, and plants will follow.

Nomos takes me at my word. I'll go along with your story because I have to! It's a bit of a "I'm not a real person, but I'm grateful enough.

"When I heard about this, I was thinking, why do you have to build the dormitory and the dining hall separately? Wouldn't it be less work to keep them all in one place?"

"It's true that it would be less work, but their goal is to enjoy paradise. The more trouble they have to go through, the more they will be pleased.

I see, originally spirits don't need to eat or materialize. Going out and eating a meal is just another form of entertainment, isn't it? As for me, I'd prefer to be served at a hot spring hotel.

I guess you could say that I come here to enjoy the inconvenience. ......The countryside is great for city dwellers! Maybe it's a feeling.

"Huh? Speaking of which, aren't you going to build a currency exchange? You're going to exchange the money for the missing spirit stones, aren't you?"

"Yes, I was going to, but I never use ...... money, so I forgot all about it. I'll add another building and more people."

You forgot. Is that what it's like to have no interest in money at all? Even when I can afford it, I still care about money. Maybe I can't help it if I'm a commoner at heart.

"Okay, where are you going to build the village? The east side is used by the brewery, so it's the west side, right?"

"Yes, across the square that Yuta's apprentices are building. We'd better get started, so let's move. Sylphy isn't smiling either, so go and scout. The inn, the cafeteria, the general store, and the money changer have to be fine-tuned according to the opinions of the people who use them.

"Hmmm, yes. Well, Yuta, I'm going out for a while.

"Yeah, take care."

Perhaps she could see that I was a little relieved, Sylphy laughed lightly again and flew away into the sky. I don't know why, but I could clearly tell that she was smiling, even though her expression didn't change much. I wonder if her expression becomes easier to read when she has a contract?

"I'm not going to be of any help in the construction either, so I'm going to go look around at the animals."

"I'm going to go check on the plants, too."

"Hmmm, what about me? It's boring to watch them build houses, so I'm going to go to the brewery and blast them."

"I'll stay with you, Sis, in case Yuta gets lonely..."

Vita and Dolly went to patrol the flora and fauna, while If went to blast the brewery. And Deanne said she'd stay with me so I wouldn't get lonely. I move from place to place, feeling a bit unconvinced.

On the way, we pass by the site where the plaza is to be built, but I try my best not to look inside. If I peeked inside, Dine would treat me like an adolescent child ...... who wants to be a member of the group but can't be honest with me.

"Yuta, don't you care about the square?"

"Hmm? It's not that I don't care, but I don't want to intrude. I'll be happy to talk to you later."

To be honest, I'm extremely curious, but let's be silly here. I'm not going to be Deanne's plaything. So don't look at me with such a disgruntled look on your face.

"Well, let's start with the cafeteria. It will probably be the most popular with the spirits, so we'll make it a little bigger.

Nomos waved his right hand in the air, and the ground rose with a zugo-zugo-zugo-zugo sound, completing a large building.

"...... Nomos, it's great, but it's kind of plain, just like the color of the soil. Since this is the most popular place in the village, why don't you make it a little more elaborate? And since there is no place for the working spirits to rest in one room, maybe you should build a room in the back where they can rest."

The shape of the building is simply a large rectangular box, and there is little excitement in the building itself. Is this the reason why Sylphy and the others stopped me when I said, "Why don't you have Nomos build you a mansion?

I thought it's a brewery so it's supposed to be simple, but apparently Nomos is not interested in the building itself. Nomos is a craftsman, and if he is interested in something, he will elaborate it thoroughly.

"I'd say it's natural since it's made out of clay, but ...... it sure is plain. If you've made it into a real object, you might as well have a place where you can relax in it. Yuta, bring out the sand from the beach.

"Yeah, how much do you need?"

"Yes. I'll need enough for the two rocks that border the beach."

That's a lot. Well, I got a lot of sand, so I don't mind. I take the amount of sand Nomos asked me to take out of the magic bag.

Is this enough?

"Yes, enough. Let's start over.

Nomos waves his right hand again, and the dining hall that was just created collapses back to the flat ground. Nomos waved his hand again, and the earth moved and rose, mingling with the sand on the beach.

"How about this time?"

...... this time I'm having a hard time rating it. It is the same boxy shape, but with an additional room in the rear, and although it is still brown in color, the surface of the building is hardened like ceramics, reflecting the sun's rays in a shimmering way. And the surprise is that the front of the building is all-glass.

It is simple, but is this really necessary? I think it looks kind of cool. However, the land of the dead seems to be longing for direct sunlight. Will the big glass be blocked by curtains?

"What do you think, Deanne?"

"Well, it's not pretty, but I think Nomos did her best."

I see, I understand somewhat from Deane's words. Nomos is a building is just a roof and walls, isn't it?

"Well, let's just say the exterior is finished. The inside is spacious enough, and we should ask the spirits that Sylphy will bring for their opinions on the interior.

"Yes, it's better to listen to the opinions of the spirits we use for sure. She's a strange girl who likes to cook, she's probably very particular about it, I think.

The spirit that Sylphy is planning to bring with her, who likes to cook, seems to be quite a peculiar one. I wonder what kind of girl she's going to bring? I would be happy if she was a s*xy beauty like the king of the dark spirits. ...... this kind of wish doesn't work out the way I want it to, so it probably won't work out. .......

In the meantime, let's get the rest of the children's inn, the general store, and the money exchange built before Sylphy comes back. I guess I'll start by placating Nomos, who's in a bad mood over my subtle assessment of Dine and me.
