Chapter 4: Make Her a Viger?


    Thats, thats amazing, Luke-sama! Youve built a shed in the blink of an eye!


    While we were in front of the shed that appeared out of nowhere, Millia praised me so.


    Food, clothing, and shelter, these are said to be essentials to human life. And now, we dont have to worry about one of those.


    Yeah, well, its not like I did anything myself. Its my Gift


    *<em>Ohh, my and Luke-samas very own love nestgufufufu</em>*


    Millia?


    Because I built the shed, I only had 30 vige points left.


    Should I build another shed? Or will a field or water well be better? Since each of those items cost 20 points, I can only build one for today.


    Wait, you can build things other than a shed?


    Yup.


    When she understood my little problem, Millia quickly shouted.


    Then, why not build a well!


    Hm? But isnt this ce too small for two people to sleep in? Yeah, I guess I should build another shed.


    Dont! Yes, this ce is small, but its enough! Rather than improve our dwelling situation, we should prioritize securing a water source! Its said that us humans wont die easily from starvation, but even a few days without water can result in death!


    O,okay? Then, I guess Ill build a water well


    Pressured by Millias eagerness, I chose to build a well.


    I still thought we had enough water for about a few days though.


    *<em>That was closebut with this, my nights Luke-sama are securedgufufufu</em>*


    While giving a sidelong nce at Milliawho seemed for some reason relieved about somethingI interacted with my Gift.


    <<20 vige points will be consumed to build a water well.>>


    Just like before, it happened in an instant. The next thing I knew, there was a circr well made of joined-together stones right where I wanted it to be.


    Wait, this cover wonte off though.


    We tried removing the cover of the well but to no avail. It was possible that the cover was actually part of the well itself.


    As such, I decided to put that aside and investigate another unfamiliar part of the well.


    Hmm, what could this be? Woah!?


    When I pushed the thing that looked a handle, water suddenly poured out through a pipe.


    In my surprise, I hurriedly returned the handle to its initial position. When I did though, the water stopped.


    Is this how its used?


    Its quite convenient, isnt it? Just drawing water out of a well is such aborious task. In fact, back in the castle, its mostly left to manualbor ves.


    In the first ce, being able to secure a water source was a sess already.


    Especially in this wastnd.


    If we didnt have this well, we would have had to wait for rain and gather as much as we could. And that was assuming that there would be rain. Much like what Millia said, we were in real danger of dying due to thirst.


    At any rate, I now only had 10 points left. There wasnt anything I could build with just 10 points even if I wanted to, so I was forced to wait at least a day.


    It looks like I gain 10 points per day, so maybe I should build that other shed tomorrow. What do you think, Millia?


    No! Lets build a field next! Yes, we absolutely must build a field! It takes time to grow the seeds we brought and even more time to harvest them, so the sooner we start, the better!


    O,Okaylets do thatthen


    Pressured by Millias threatening gaze, I had little choice but to nod.


    But then, words suddenly appeared in my vision. They hovered right below Millias face.


    <<Make her a viger?>>


    Eh? I can make her a viger?


    <<Yes. If the person themselves consent to it, its possible to make them a viger.>>


    Which reminded me, when I looked earlier, it said that my vige had 0 vigers.


    It might be like that because I couldnt be considered as a viger.


    Ahm, Millia


    Of course, Ill ept, Luke-sama. Please, let me be a viger.


    Millia had correctly guessed what I was trying to say and even answered it.


    Are you sure though?


    Luke-sama, let me repeat what I said before: no matter what happens, wherever you may go, Ill be by your side. If what you choose to do is stay here and build a vige, then Ill do my best to help you make that happen.


    Millias resolve was unwavering.


    Thank you, Millia.


    <<Millia is now a viger.>>


    Like that, Millia became my very first viger.


    Alongside that, I made a little promise to myself. That I would use this mysterious Gift of mine to develop this wastnd and develop a prosperous enough vige.
