Chapter 297
There was a young man who tried to stand in front of us as his legs quivered.
?Wh- why can’t I win……?
A young man from the community in the Sky Island. Valzak-san’s first born son, Valto-kun. It was Vart-kun who beat up Valto-kun one-sidedly, and Valto-kun glared in frustration.
As for why this was happening, it was because of Berkut. Valto-kun was smitten by the beautiful Berkut who was of the same age, but as Berkut tried to handle Valto-kun’s forceful advances, it was then that Vart-kun snapped.
?Berkut is going to be with me! Don’t you dare make passes on her, you asshole!?
?……no, I’m not going to go out with you.?
?What did you say!? Berkut-san suits ME! Someone like you can’t be with her!?
?……no, I don’t like you either.?
?You bastard! I’ll make you learn your place!?
?Ou! Just what I wanted! I’ll fuck you up!?
?……these guys just don’t listen.?
The fight between Vart-kun and Valto-kun, which started because of a stupid argument, was naturally won by Vart-kun who had undergone our power leveling.
?Iruma-dono, I apologize for my son.?
?No, it’s alright. Besides, Vart-kun would be practically unhurt in a brawl with Valto-kun at that level.?
?About that, would it be possible to train us like Valkan and the others??
An unexpected request came from Valzak-san. Still, even bears and wolves were formidable enemies to normal hunters despite not having monstrous strength.
?……let’s see. Powering up your community would also be an advantage for living in the Sky Island in the future. Very well, we can’t go right away because preparations must be made, but let’s train you until we search for the ruins.?
?Thank you very much, Iruma-dono. It is always a risk to hunt. I especially do not want the young to fall prey to the monsters.?
?This time, we will also take care of your equipment. There are some things I have to think about, so please wait for a few days.?
We provided Valkan-san’s group with equipment, so it’s only fair that I do the same for Valzak-san.
?Takumi-sama, should we connect to the base in the Demon Continent??
?Yeah, though our team has to help out with training again, I hope you guys can do that.?
It was perfect since we were planning to establish a Gate in the Sky Island to migrate the rest of the Aligerous Tribe that were left behind in the Demon Continent anyway.
?Takumi-sama, I will also help train our tribespeople.?
Berkut jogged up to me and told me that she would help train Valzak-san and the others.
?I don’t really mind, but no fighting.?
?It’s fine. I don’t bully the weak.?
I planned to leave the Sky Island’s inhabitants’ training to Sophia and Maria. Laeva, Kaede[1] , and I would probably have our hands full from making their equipment, after all.
?Oh, so you’ll be fine with Valto-kun??
?Yes, I will be strict with that guy.?
?A-ahh, I see……?
Beyond Berkut’s gaze was Vart-kun who had fallen over, even more battered than Valto-kun.
?Tsun, tsun.?
?Tsun, tsun nya.?
?Kyahahahaha, tsun, tsun.?
Kaede and Lulu-chan were having fun with the village children at poking at Vart-kun who was like a tattered rag.
?……okay, I’ll be making a room to install the Gate in.?
Yep, let’s pretend we didn’t see that.
?Let’s reinforce the walls and ceiling of the cave first.?
?To prevent it from caving in, right??
?Yup, it looks like fairly solid bedrock, but it’s best to be careful.?
With Valzak-san’s permission and Sophia in tow, I enchanted the walls starting from the cave entrance in order to expand the cave and establish a gate.
The place which had a risk of collapsing changed form and hardened. There’s no risk of an earthquake because this mountain wasn’t volcanic, so there shouldn’t be any concern of it caving in with this much fortification.
?How about we make a hole in place of a chimney and install a magic tool for ventilation??
?You’re right. It looks like the Aligerous Tribe sometimes uses Wind magic to ventilate the place.?
?It’d be difficult having a kitchen inside a cave, after all.?
Even after Valkan-san’s group migrates to the Sky Island, they’ll probably live in the cave too. It’s definitely much safer than living at ground level.
That’s why I decided to first expand the existing cave and dig several new caves.
Additionally, we decided to connect our base in the Demon Continent and asked them to manage it. To Valkan-san and the others, that base was indispensable for hunting monsters for food and raising levels.
