v3c63 - Volume 3 - Nation Building Begins with a Slow Life - Chapter 63 - Confirmation of the Holy Water Generation Skill
“Ellie, Monica. Thanks for your help. I’ll have to thank Shelly later.”
With Shelly’s help, we were able to successfully defeat the monsters that came from the sky.
Monica also gained a new extra skill, but …… we pretended not to have heard about it and started walking back home.
“I guess it’s alcohol if it’s a thank you to Shelly, right?”
“I’m sure Master would be enough for a souvenir for Miss Shelly. And since it’s too much work for Miss Shelly to do alone, I’ll go with you.”
“U-Uh …… If you’re going to Ms. Shelly’s place, you’ll have to take me with you, too! I’ll have to keep an eye on you to make sure you don’t do anything strange.”
No, Monica and Ellie, don’t you think your purpose is strange?
It’s to thank her for defeating the monsters, you know?
It’s not necessarily going to be like this morning …… No, but considering what Shelly said, there’s a chance it could be.
“Well, whatever it is, I guess I’ll go tomorrow. It would be a pity to leave Fiine who just arrived, after all.”
“I guess so. Fiine is a witch, isn’t she? I’ll train her well since she seems to have a job that involves magic. “
“Then I will teach her how to clean up.”
"

Monica is talking about normal cleaning, right!?
Ellie didn’t retort into anything, so I’m just imagining weird things on my own …… I can believe you, right ……!?
When we reached the house talking about this and that…
“Big brother! Thank god you’re okay!”
Nora was the first to jump on me.
“Big bro. Thank you for defeating the monsters!”
(T/N: I decided to change how Nina calls Alex from Big brother to Big bro, so that it’s easier to recognize who’s talking. Nora will call Alex Big brother as always)
“Mr. Alex. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Sir Alex …… you’re so amazing! I knew you were the knight who would help Fiine!”
Next, Nina and Lydia, and then Fiine also hugged me.
“Was everything okay inside the house?”
“Yes! A monster fell near the house, but Monica took it down.”
“I see. Monica did a great job this time.”
After hearing from Nina, I praised Monica, but …… Huh? Monica is not here?
I looked around to see what was going on, and out of nowhere, Monica came back.
“Master, I immediately generated some holy water. Please check it out.”
She offered me a cup of the mysterious liquid that Nora had made from leftover wood.
“M-Monica. Is this ……”
“It’s holy water.”
“No, like I said, is this ……”
“It’s holy water, what of it?”
No, the holy water Monica brought is that, right?
It’s pouring out in a row, and Monica looks a little refreshed and …… No, what do you want me to do with this.
“Big bro. Is that really holy water? If so, it can enhance your weapons and armor even more, you know?”
“No, Nina! You can’t touch it carelessly!”
Hearing holy water, Nina tries to look into Monica’s cup and I managed to stop her by hair’s breadth.
“Why did you stop her, Master!? It’s freshly made and still warm, you know?”
“Don’t try to give something strange to Nina, who doesn’t know anything about it.”
“It is not a strange thing, it is holy water. …… Well, it may not be as valuable as Master’s holy water, but…”
“My holy water? Unlike Monica, I don’t have the skill to generate holy water, though?”
“I beg your pardon. Not holy water, but erotic water. No, it’s spe- …….”
“Stop! Okay, I’ll use Monica’s holy water. That’s fine, right?”
Though, I can’t use holy magic high enough to use holy water.
“Master. You may drink the holy water as I did ……”
“Nina. Let me help you with the forge. Nina, you don’t have to touch any of this holy water. I will handle it responsibly!”
“…… Big bro. That’s holy water, right? You don’t have to be so defensive, Nina will use it normally, though?”
"
"
Nina doesn’t know how this holy water is made, after all.
I couldn’t let Nina do the dirty work, so I took the cup from Monica …… damn, it’s a little warm!
“Then, Nina. Can you make a simple weapon or a shield? Also, call out to me when it’s time to use the holy water.”
“Even if you say that, I’m not going to pour it directly into it because I’m going to use blacksmithing magic to make it, you know? You can just leave it there! Also, can you lend me the shield I made for Big bro yesterday?”
I put the cup where she instructed me to put it, and handed her the small shield I had on my belt…
“[Grant Attribute]”
Nina used her blacksmithing skills to strengthen the shield.
“Wow …… Big bro, this is amazing. This holy water is pretty good quality!”
“Huh? I-Is that so?”
“Yes, it is. The effect of the skill of grant attribute changes considerably depending on the materials used, but this holy water is an advanced holy water, or rather, the effect given to it is very high.”
I see. In other words, the thing that Monica produces is high-quality holy water …… H-Hmmm. Yeah, well, extra skill is so amazing that Shelly even calls it a divine skill, after all.
“Fufufuh …… Master. The holy water I just mentioned is the one that can be easily produced if I drink water. Next, I would like to try the holy water that can be produced with the Master’s help.”
“…… M-, Maybe next time.”
“You don’t have to be shy. Oh …… or would you like to see the place that produces the holy water? No, of course I’m embarrassed too, but for me, it’s a reward.”
No, I don’t know what you mean by a reward, though.
“Anyway, either holy water can be used for various things, and I would like to have a container for storing it. I’d like to have a container for storing it. I’m thinking of a glass bottle.”
“I’m not sure about glass bottles, because the only glass bottles we have are the ones Tabitha sends us for seasonings and the like. I guess we’ll just have to pour it into a wooden vessel for now.”
“Then, I will make it. Just tell me what shape you want it to be.”
The discussion turned to the storage container for the holy water, and Monica and Nora decided to discuss the matter directly with each other…
“Big brother. Big Sister Monica said that the storage container is in the shape of a urine bottle, but is this really the right shape?”
“…… It looks like a slightly larger cup, so please do. If possible, it would be better if it has a lid to prevent the contents from spilling out.”
“Master!? Why!? For the ease of pouring, what I said would definitely be better.”
I asked Nora to go ignore Monica’s statement and ask her to place the equipment outside the house.
“Y-You want me to be the only one outdoors …… Oh, so it’s that kind play!”
I don’t know why, but Monica seemed a little happy for some reason, so I decided to leave it alone.
