We decided to cultivate eastward, and in the afternoon, I, Lydia, and the dolls worked together to make a passage eastward.
We had gone quite a distance, taking down the occasional shadow wolf…
“Father. Miss Fiine said she has completed the charm to ward off monsters.”
“Okay, have Fiine come here.”
Through Meilin, the dolls will tell us how Fiine is doing.
It’s very helpful to have dolls in various locations so that we can communicate with each other from a distance, as if by magic.
While thinking about this, we were making a passage to the east…
“Sir Alex! Sorry to keep you waiting!”
Fiine came running from the direction of the house.
“…… Sir Alex. You’ve already made it quite far, huh. I’m so tired just getting here!”
“I’m sorry, Fiine. Thank you.”
“No, It’s okay. As long as you give me a reward at night! So, about how to use this monster ward ……”
Fiine explained to me about the night and the reward, saying it in a casual way.
The monster ward that Fiine made is like incense that emits a smell that humans don’t feel but monsters don’t like.
Therefore, it is better to place it in a place where you don’t want to attract monsters and light it on fire.
…… Since it’s the smell, the direction of the wind might affect the effect, but I decided to check if it would be effective against Shadow Wolf first.
“I get it now. Lydia, light it please.”
I place a cone-shaped charm from the tip of the index finger to the second joint on a small plate, and ask Lydia to light it.
A white smoke, which did not smell of anything in particular, rose faintly, but I wonder if such a small amount of smoke would have any effect?
As we continued to make our way eastward, half in doubt, a Shadow Wolf came toward us.
“FIine. Give me that small plate.”
I took the charm from Fiine, placed it at my feet, and readied my sword.
The Shadow Wolf came closer and …… ran away.
“Wow. The Shadow Wolf has fled.”
“It’s like sprinkling diluted holy water.”
“I see. By the way, how long does this charm last?”
“Well, maybe an hour? But it can be preserved.”
“I understand. Fiine, you are in charge of making the charms …… But don’t ask Yudit for holy water. Monica has a lot of it.”
With that, Fiine goes back to the house again.
With this monster ward, I won’t have to fight the Shadow Wolves, and I can leave the expansion of the wall to the dolls.
After that, we continued to build a passageway to the east, and as the sun was setting, we decided to finish the day’s work.
First, we all had to go back to the dolls’ house, but it’s …… far away.
Unlike when Lydia and I were the only two people working on the wall, the dolls were helping us, so it looks like we made a lot of progress in one day.
After parting with the dolls, Lydia and I returned to the house, where we had dinner.
“Delicious! Before, I’d been forced to eat dry meals and drink a lot of water …… I can’t believe how good food tastes!”
Yudit almost cried as she ate her food.
She was made to drink a lot of water, after all, the way to make holy water is the same as Monica’s …… No, let’s not think about it.
After finishing dinner, Yudit disappeared somewhere…
“Alex. Here is today’s holy water. Take it.”
Just like yesterday, she handed me a slightly warm liquid.
Kuh …… Monica’s eyes is appealing to me like she’s saying, “Please take my holy water, too.”
Monica shows how she makes the holy water, but Yudit doesn’t.
Maybe it’s different from the way Monica makes it.
I silently appealed to Monica, too, and we decided to go to the bath first.
“Yudit, do you want to go in with Sophie later or first?”
“Hm? …… What!? Alex is taking a bath with everyone here?”
“Because all of us are Husband’s wives.”
Meilin’s words made Yudit freeze for a moment.
“Well, then, I guess I’ll go in first. If I get my feathers wet, it will take me a while to dry off.”
“I understand. Sophie, I’m sorry, but show Yudit to the bath.”
“I understand. This way, Miss Yudit.”
She went with Sophie to the bath.
I would like Nora to go with them, but …… I guess I’ll use my clone technique skill to get through today too.
