Chapter 16: Its so delicious


    The vegetables we just harvested was unbelievably delicious.


    A-are you alright, vige chief?


    Ahh, excuse me. It was just so delicious, I couldnt help but shout out loud.


    I apologized like that to Belrith-san who seemed startled by me.


    Belrith-san, why dont you give it a try?


    Alright; Ill take you up on that kind offer.


    He said so and then bit onto a turnip.


    In the next moment, his eyes opened widely.


    Soooooooo gooooooooooooooooooodddd!!!


    Our reactions were quite simr.


    Certainly, freshly harvested turnips taste great, but whats with these!? Ive never had turnips this delicious


    Perhaps it was because of his excitement, but Belrith-san continued to munch on the turnip as he talked.


    Afterwards, we decided to hold a celebration for the sessful harvest.


    The just harvested vegetables were a given, but we also decided to use some of the meat of the boar and the deer that the group led by Selen managed to hunt down.


    By the way, I built an outdoor kitchen for 60 points. Because we could use it not only to prepare meals for arge group but also as a ce to butcher what we caught, it was quite an efficient facility.


    Well then. To the sessful harvest as well as new friendscheers!


    Cheers!!!


    I proposed a toast and everybody quickly followed.


    There wasnt any alcohol in the vige yet though, so what we used was just well water.


    What!? I cant believe it!


    So deliciouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssss!!


    Such shouts could be heard here and there.


    Hey, hey, hey, this is too delicious, aint it? This is the first time Ive had anything this good.


    Are these really prepared by our spouses?


    Its the ingredients. Especially the newly harvested vegetables.


    Everyone was shocked at how delicious the food was.


    However, it was during then that


    V-vige chief!


    Even when such a celebration was underway, a young man was keeping watch over the vige from the top of the watchtower. However, he suddenly climbed down and hurriedly searched for me.


    What is it? Whats wrong?


    A group of people are approaching the vige.


    Eh?


    The group seemed to be refugees as well. This time, there were about 40 people.


    Each of them seemed thoroughly exhausted, but when they entered the vige and confirmed that the vige was real instead of being an illusion they dreamt up, their faces were of shock and awe. And when they smelled the food prepared for the celebration, they couldnt help but gulp down.


    Hello, nice to meet you. I am Luke, and I stand as this viges chief.


    A kid like you is the? Oh, sorry, never mind. Nice to meet you as well. I am Donga.


    When a man who seemed to be in his thirties said his name, Belrith-san shouted for some reason.


    Donga!? Are you that Donga? Its been a while!


    Oh! You cant be Belrithcan you?


    Donga-san was stunned.


    Do you two perhaps know each other?


    Yes, we do, vige chief. Back in the day, Donga here frequently visited our vige. Our viges had many interactions such as trade, but for Donga, the main reason for visiting our vige was because he was smitten by my younger sisters, that love was not meant to be.


    Can you not talk about the ancient past!? I may not look it, but I have a wife and children now, you know!


    The two of them seemed to have quite a friendly rtionship.


    By the way, the younger sister in question seemed to be married to a man in another vige.


    Wait, if youre here does that mean your vige was also


    Yes, thats right. We had to leave behind our vige. It was quite a harsh journey, but it came to an end a few days ago when we arrived at this vige.


    Still, to think there would be a vige here in this wastnd


    Things were simple if Belrith-sans acquaintance was among the new group.


    They must be starving, so I interjected.


    I think the details can wait untilter. For now, would you guys like to join us? Were having a celebration for our sessful harvest.


    Whaare you sure?


    Yes, absolutely.


    Of course, no one objected to the idea. They knew firsthand the hardships the new group must have endured, so they weed them with warmth.
