Chapter 27 – House Lv.1
I chose the “house” for island development, and consumed 100 pieces of “wood” and 100 pieces of “stone” as materials.
Wood x163 → Wood x63
Stone x221 → Stone x121
I designated an open space a little away from the hut and built the house. This time it took ten seconds. I see, the more materials needed, the more time it takes. It’s not a big deal though.
“Th-This is… a splendid house.”
“I was surprised too, Alfred. This is not some fake house1In Japanese, “ハリボテ” (haribote) means a fake or a replica, usually of low quality or with little substance. It can refer to anything from a cheap imitation to a poorly constructed building.or anything. It’s a genuine ‘house.'”
It was a house that belonged to an Imperial cityscape. A two-story wooden house. It was several times larger and more spacious than a hut. It seemed to have several rooms. This is good, definitely better than a hut.
Come to think of it, what was Havamal’s reaction… Hmm?
“…… (speechless)”
She was at a loss for words with her mouth wide open. No way, could it be that she didn’t expect something this big to be built here?”
“Hey, Havamar.”
I waved my hand to get her attention, but she didn’t come back to his senses at all. After a while, Havamar suddenly came back to her senses and started trembling.
“Wha… what the heck is thiiissssssss…!!!!!!!!!!”
Whoa, that scared me.
She suddenly raised her voice.
My ears are ringing.
“What is this… it’s the ability you gave me. I made a ‘house’ with the uninhabited island development skill. Look, here are the details.”
“De… details…?”
[House][Lv.1]
[Development]
[Effect]
Build a wooden house.
Consumes 100 pieces of wood and 100 pieces of stone. This skill can only be used once a day, but the number of houses you can build increases with each level up. The maximum level is 99.
The higher the level of the “House”, the higher the resistance to special status abnormalities such as “Weathering”, “Fire”, “Typhoon”, and “Earthquake”.
At Lv. 10, it becomes a brick house.
At Lv. 30, a mansion can be built.
At Lv. 50, a castle can be built.
At Lv. 99, a fortress can be built.
“This is the details of the ‘House’.”
“W-What… You mean this skill is what built the house?”
“Didn’t you know?”
“I’ve seen your predecessor build huts and lakes, but I didn’t know you could do more than that.”
Surprisingly, it seems that the person who gave me this power only understood the bare minimum. What is going on? And who is this “predecessor”?
But thanks to that, I’ve been able to survive, and now I finally got a splendid house like this. How should I put it… I can finally hope for a normal life.
As I try to enter the house, Skor returned.
“I’m back! Rasty-san.”
“Hey, Skor. How was the hot spring?”
“It was amazing…! I haven’t felt this refreshed since I went to the hot spring in the Elf country, Borodin.”
Wow, it seems that there are hot springs in the Elf country. This is the first I’ve heard of it, and it’s quite surprising. No wonder Skor’s skin is so smooth and glossy. Is the secret to Skor’s smooth skin the hot springs?
But now is not the time for that. More importantly, we have a house!
“Skor, the house is finished.”
When I point at the house, Skor focused on the house. Seeing a building that wasn’t there before ―― she seems like she’s about to drop her jaw, and she jumps up and down with excitement.
“What? A house? …Wait, what is this?! This is amazingggggg!!!”
