Chapter 629 The Reason For Urging Completion
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
The next morning, Shinji finished his routine and headed to the assembly. Workers involved in the construction gathered for updates. Afterward, he and Freri walked to the worksite.
As they strolled, they drew attention. The project relied heavily on magic users, so workers often gave them approving looks. Shinji and Freri ignored the stares and kept moving.
At the coast, they joined the workers and began their tasks. Shinji tapped the ground with his staff, casting magic. The earth sank and compacted.
Normally, this would take many workers with shovels, digging and packing for hours. But with magic, it was done in minutes—precise and efficient.
Shinji shaped the ground according to the marked lines. The supervisor rushed to measure the depth. Seeing it matched the plans, he sighed in admiration, made a large circle with his hands, and signaled from a distance: everything was fine. Shinji waved back.
The carpenters, who had been waiting, moved to the leveled area. With nothing more to do, Shinji headed to his next task.
Using magic over such a large area would tire most magic users, but Shinji, a contractor of the High-ranking Spirit Freri, felt no strain. There was still much leveling to do, and resting would be inefficient.
’Hmm, so boring.’
’I know how you feel, but this is still work. It’s probably not enough for you, though.’
’Yeah, it’s all so dull. There’s no excitement.’
’When you serve a lord, it’s just like that.’
Walking alongside Freri, Shinji wore a wry smile. Only he, who had known her for a long time, could sense her stress, even if others couldn’t.
(She’s building up tension. Since the Dragonmen’s village incident, we hasn’t done any adventurer-like activities, so it’s no wonder.)
Spirits dislike boredom, and even succubi seek fleeting pleasures. For Freri, who inherits both bloodlines, the monotonous internal work lacks stimulation. It’s unrealistic to expect her to do this forever, even for a short period. Shinji’s efforts to please her have their limits.
’Shinji doesn’t need to do things like this.”
’But the ability to chain magic of this scale is something only we can do.’
’…You already know that, yet you say it.’
’Freri, you understand too, right?’
Shinji’s work is most efficient when he does it himself, but others could do it too. If two or three magic users teamed up, they could achieve the same results. Even non-magic users could do the work, though it would take more time.
However, outsourcing increases costs. Even if Shinji earns money, if expenses rise faster than his income, it’s pointless and a waste of time. In that case, it’s better to do what you can yourself from the start.
Both Shinji and Freri know this approach is the most efficient. That’s why Shinji has tried to soothe her, and Freri has endured as much as she can.
As a side note, Flair grew bored long ago and would reject any attempts to lure her with rewards. Considering that, Freri has endured more than enough.
’Hmm. But I don’t want to anymore. I won’t help from tomorrow.’
’Got it. Play until you feel better. I can’t leave here.’
’…’
Freri fell silent, her displeasure clear. Shinji couldn’t afford to give in.
’I told you, didn’t I? Balancing the lives of humans and succubus. This work is essential for living as a human. Especially if you have a pregnant wife.’
’…Hmm, understood. This time I’ll play alone.’
’Thank you. I’ll definitely make up for it.’
’Looking forward to it.’
Shinji sighed in relief. Even proper communication tires him out. Even with Freri, his childhood friend and longest companion, nothing is absolute. Telling her he’d make up for it might have been effective.
(That said, I can’t trouble her for a while. Unless the goddess calls me, I probably can’t leave this place.)
The port town’s construction is a reward and could be built slowly, but there’s urgency because of Alvin and Christina’s engagement.
Originally, Milis planned to hold the wedding with Christina after peacefully giving birth to her first child. But if a church is built in the new port town, there’s a suggestion that the lord should perform the wedding as the first ceremony. That was the proposal.
It’s certainly a rare opportunity. Combining it with the port town’s completion celebration can promote interaction among new residents. With many benefits, there’s no reason not to do it. Since Alvin loves festivals, they tentatively decided to hold the wedding in the port town. As a result, construction can’t be done leisurely, and Shinji is heavily involved.
(Once the construction is finished, it’s finally time to register the marriage. When that happens, making children will be unblocked… Though it’s impossible to have my child until I fulfill my duties. I suppose I’ll enjoy it more in the meantime.)
Shinji can manipulate his child to be Alvin’s child if he wants and can impregnate his own child, but he has promised to help the prosperity of Christina and the Wolf family.
For nobles, the weight of blood is equivalent to the weight of life. Even if it’s exposed that she cuckolded and left the Wolf family blood, she can absolutely declare she won’t forgive Shinji. Even if her body and mind have fallen, she’ll probably retaliate with her pride intact.
Because of that core strength, she feels a strong thrill from cheating s*x. Shinji doesn’t wish to distort Christina’s desirable points.
’Did you think of something good?’
Freri asked, sensing his thoughts, with a Cheshire smile. Shinji, smiling back, is also having fun.
’You’re sharp. When the town is completed, it will be Tina’s wedding, right? I think there will be various things to enjoy before and after that.’
’…Agreed. That’s Shinji.’
’I said I would balance both, right? If you help me from tomorrow onward, the days to enjoy will come sooner.’
’Well, that’s a different story.’
’No good…?’
’No good. But I’ll listen if it’s about evil schemes.’
’It’s something for the far future… though it’s still a secret.’
’…Muu, mean…’
The two, exchanging playful mental signals, continued to wield magic, surpassing their quota and achieving impressive results.
