My First Trip was to Another World

The first morning ceremony is over and work is about to begin. Though that said, what to do...... I can't move without instructions. I've been waiting for instructions from Nestor, but Nestor seems to have gone somewhere while I was talking to Leeds.

"I wonder what I should do. So you're telling me to wait?

"Right... you can't just move on your own..."

Luna answered with a troubled face.

Everyone else just stands there boggling, looking bored. The Nestor of the day is so far away that I can't detect my signs. It's not obvious if you wait like this.

"Well no. Luna and the others are free to go. And then there's my problem."

"Huh...? But..."

"Anyway, can you hunt for a nearby demon? You've got plenty of them anyway."

When he says that and gives Leeds an eye, Leeds answers with a laugh more.

"I'm here. I can't hunt in a day."

I hear there's a lot of demons outside my range. Sooner or later, we'll get in the way of development, so I'd like to get rid of it now.

"Okay, I'll take care of it. Make the right mistake. Don't push it."

"Yes!"

Though I'll take care of it, you're pretty anxious to let Leeds go alone.

"I'm worried about Leeds alone. I'll follow you, too."

Did Mr. Lily think the same thing about me, he seems to accompany the demon extermination? Leeds doesn't have to worry about getting lost or being unconscious with a miscellaneous fish demon opponent, but something more...... I have to worry about taking home unexpected trouble. There better be a lot of pullers.

"You can go with four of us. That's better."

"... wait. Atashi will stay here. I didn't start the pioneering work, so I thought it might help a little."

Looks like Claire's going to stay in the village. I appreciate that...

"Then Luna needs help exterminating the demons."

Mr. Lily is also the type to get on with it, so I'm a little anxious to let Leeds and I work together. I am worried that unexpected problems will increase. In that regard, Luna and Claire brake well, so I think we should keep them separate when we split them between our hands.

"Okay. I'm coming."

Luna and the three of them ran out of the village. In the unlikely event of a serious problem, Luna will contact you shortly. I'm relieved for once.

I think it's been quite a while since we talked, but Nestor hasn't come yet. Looks like we're gonna have to take action from here. Talk to the rest of Claire.

"I can't wait any longer. Rudy seems to be nearby, so let's ask him."

When I said that and stepped out, Claire nodded, "Right," and followed me.

Rudy is in a tent nearby. I guess I'm still fighting a lot of paperwork today. Sorry to interrupt, but he talks faster.

I opened the entrance to the tent where Rudy was and looked inside.

"Ah, good morning. What can I do for you?

Rudy turned his smile over here and cleaned up the paperwork on his desk.

"I went somewhere before Nestor gave me instructions. What am I supposed to do?

"Oh...... I see. He's a busy man, so you must have forgotten about Mr. Coe."

Rudy says with a bitter laugh. Everyday tea and rice is fine. Nestor's an irresponsible one.

"Will you bring Nestor? I haven't been instructed to do anything, so I'm free."

If you're going to leave me like this, I'll join you in exterminating the demons. Seeing it as free time.

"... No, let me show you. If you get upset in the morning, I'll give you a job."

That's what Rudy said and stood up, avoiding us and getting out of the tent. And I said, "Follow me," and I walked out with Tsukatsuka.

"Are you upset?

"Ha... That guy gets so grumpy when he gets in the way of his own work. I had a rough day yesterday."

Rudy answered with a fed up face. Nestor seems like a rather difficult person.... can I make a representative of him like that? I doubt the candidacy mistake...... Well, it's none of my business. I'm leaving this village right away.

"That sounds pretty tough."

"No. If Mr. Nestor hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have started pioneering it. I can't help complaining."

Apparently, this pioneering business started with the work of Nestor. Sounds like you're doing something like a leader for once.

Moving forward with a little chat. Rudy is on his way to the border between the square and the woods.

I think the task I'm entrusted with is either cutting or making wood or finishing the ground. From where we're headed, I'm going to join the logging squad.

"By the way, it looks like there were five earlier, but what about the others?

"As I said in the morning ceremony, I'm the only one who lives there. I'm acting different today."

"Was I? Excuse me."

Rudy listened softly. That attitude is very helpful. It's a hassle to explain.

The moment I tried to step into the woods, Rudy stopped softly. When we stop to imitate it, Rudy turns around and says:

"Be careful ahead. If you get caught up in that, you'll die."

As Rudy turned his attention, an unmanned device was wielding a large axe like a bat. The blade tip is headed toward the tree and the trunk of the tree is sharpened with guts.

"... what are you doing?

"It's a demonic prop for logging. We're cutting trees."

I didn't think so, but was it logging after all? They do the logging of trees with demonic props. It's not a chainsaw, it's a device that wields an axe automatically. He said it was dangerous to see... I wouldn't exactly die, but it looks so painful.

"Can't it be a scarecrow?

"I can't stand the thickness of a tree. I really need an axe."

What do you do when you stop? Wait till you stop on your own? Isn't it super dangerous? I don't want to get too close to that device.

"What are we going to do after that?

"Carry the felled trees to the mill and pull out the stump. It's handmade from here."

This village cuts and expands forests, so trees also grow in dwellings and in places that are to be fields. The trees are cut to build dwellings and fences, but after the trees are cut, the roots remain, so they need to be removed before the ground is even.

They can't seem to do anything about this with demonic props, and they just have to dig it up and remove it by hand. This is tough.

"Can't it be easier?

"You can't...... Complex tasks like digging dirt are not suitable for demonic props"

For a moment the Earth's backhoe turned his head, but such a big heavy machine is unlikely to be built in this country. We need a ton of steel, and I can't think of any power to move it.

And even the ground is manpower. This also makes the wheel loader head again...... I still can't do it. Earth's civil engineering, isn't that too cheesy?

"This is going to take some time..."

"That's why we need manpower."

I hear pioneering has a ton of work like this. This is awkward. We need to figure out an easier way. I don't hate dirt bullies, but it's nothing but painful to keep digging holes all day.

As I put my arms together and thought, Claire followed me with a naughty grin.

"If you were a koh, you could lift about this kind of stump, right?

"Huh? You can't afford anything."

"Just do it."

Claire urged me to hold the stump at my feet with both hands. Pull it up with force, but it stops a little bit in motion.

The visible part of the stump is small, but about one tree's worth of root is buried on the ground. Lifting this should be difficult, even for a fairly large heavy machine. Not to mention manpower......

"Look, you can't"

"... you haven't done everything you could, have you?

Claire looked at me surprised. You want to tell me to give it my full strength in combat mode. As I was told, I pulled up the stump by multiplying my body strengths at all costs.

"Bogovo!"

The stump dances through the universe with all the momentum. Spraying the dirt around him, he fell dodgy on the ground.

"... you're out"

"Right? That's why I told you."

For some reason Claire is good at it. Claire with all her might is more powerful than I am, so she'll pull through more easily.

"Um... what now?

Rudy sounded frightened. I can't hide the confusion. Should I put it in words and explain it?

"As you can see, I pulled through the stump."

"You can do that..."

"Sort of. If this is it, it's easier to pull it out before you cut it. You don't have to cut it anymore."

When it becomes a stump, it becomes harder to have less where it is. Then it would be less onerous to pull it out in a tree state that is somewhat heavy but easy to hold.

"Ha. Looks like it."

We'll be turned to the logging squad. It's the right material, and the work goes faster.

I just took a breather and noticed signs of Nestor approaching. When I looked at you, I saw you rushing over screaming out loud.

"I have trouble moving around on my own!

Wait for Nestor's arrival and return the word.

"You're gone on your own. Here's the trouble."

"Even so, if you want to leave, you need to give me a call... And the others, by the way?

I still have something to say, but I can't talk to you, so let's flush it out. Now I want to get to work more quickly than that.

"It's a different behavior today. I go hunting for demons around me."

"I'm in trouble when they do something unsolicited...... then I'm relieved. Then it's Mr. Coe's job."

That's what Nestor said, and Rudy pinched his mouth.

"Please put me in the logging squad. Mr. Coe can pull out trees."

"What? Pull through?

Nestor spoke out of his mind. I guess you don't understand the meaning of the word. That's faster.

"Here's the thing."

I pulled all the trees that were growing nearby. 'Bogovo' and make noises, and the surrounding soil thrives. 'Buttibutch' and the sound of fine roots ripping off, the roots off the ground.

"... Huh?

"You're okay with a tree a little bigger. Too big a tree to cut."

"I can't believe you can do that... your plans are crazy..."

Nestor held his head with a difficult face.

"Is there a problem?

"No, work is fast and helpful. But since the wood is not going to be made in time..."

Nestor seemed concerned about the other work. I guess the lumber production squad isn't manned enough either, but that's not a big deal.

"You just have to load up the trees and save it"

"... right. I'll make adjustments on my side. Then I'm your lady, but I'm thinking of having you in charge of cooking. Come with me."

The topic moved on to Claire's work. Nestor seems to want to turn Claire over to the cooking squad, but that's troublesome. I'm going to finish faster than I expected because of this, but if they take me, I'll be late for work.

"No, no, Claire's a logging squad, too. Claire's idiotic powers are even better than mine. Claire, do it."

"Atashi is also a weak girl for once. You know what I mean?"

Claire gently pulled out the tree as she complained about Gucci.

Claire was powerless right after she met us. You were so powerless that you couldn't handle a one-handed sword well, now you're stupid enough to wield a great sword with one hand.

"Ha...?

Nestor leaves his mouth half-open to make a loose voice between them.

"Huh? Not that I can't cook, but it's a waste not to use this power"

"But... it's common sense that women are for cooking or washing..."

Did Nestor not understand what happened in front of him? I'll do it until I understand.

"Claire, here's another bottle"

"Yes, sir."

Claire replied troublesome, pulling through a tree that was nearby and throwing it where no one was.

"That's why. You should help the logging squad."

"... ok. I'll readjust it."

Nestor walked away with Tobotobo saying so.

I can finally get to work. I thanked Rudy and Claire and I got to work.

He then immersed himself in pulling out the tree. How many would the two of us have pulled out? In just one day, the square is expanding more than double. But the ground is bumpy because I was forced to pull it out. Don't be discouraged when you think you'll even this...

All right, let's let Irvin help us tomorrow. I've been pulling it off for a long time, so it's bad for me if I don't move my body once in a while.
