Chapter 57

The field turned out to be more impressive than I thought.

The agricultural team, along with the little ants and little spiders, are doing a great job.

Following my first request, they processed and placed the wood, and now there are wooden frames standing in the field.

The little spiders and little ants are moving around there.

I see, they must have been worried about me stepping on them, so they took this measure.

Thank you, first one.

The agricultural team's methods of work are changing day by day.

Everything is becoming more efficient.

That's strange, how are they increasing their knowledge?

It's a mystery.

The little demons have perfectly mastered the processing of hides.

The fluffiness of the furs is amazing compared to the early days.

I don't know how they do it.

But it's incredible.

The clothes brought by the three-eyed ones have also improved.

A shirt that can be worn over the shoulders has appeared.

The pants have a bit of a cargo pant style, which surprised me.

When I wake up in the morning, the clothes for the day are already prepared.

What is this, a bit scary.

...

The exploration of the forest continues.

It's a treasure trove of ingredients, and the storage capacity has become insufficient with the initial number of storage rooms.

The second batch, with three rooms as refrigerators and five rooms with time stop, is currently in use.

I've added five more rooms of each.

Considering the winter, I'm thinking about adding more rooms, but I'm still debating.

It's good that the rock house is spacious.

Today, I explored a new direction.

My companions were Chai and Coa.

On Chai, there's a little spider that has grown to the size of a fist.

...Is this okay?

Looking up, I can see larger little spiders than fist-sized ones hopping freely between the trees.

Recently, the growth of the little spiders has become individual.

Some are growing larger, while others are not.

It's mysterious.

"Cave"

A new cave has been discovered.

The first one was Coa, the second one was Shuri, and I wonder if there's something else in this one?

The unusual darkness is concerning, but I'll enter the cave.

I was attacked the moment I entered.

I strengthened the barrier, so I didn't get hurt.

That's good.

In front of me, hmm?

Seven dogs that look a lot like Chai.

Chai is barking at the front, but there's no response.

The little spiders are making threatening sounds, but there's no reaction to this either.

There are no black patterns like when Shuri was possessed, but the atmosphere is similar.

Could they be possessed?

I want to exorcise them, but it's difficult because they're moving around.

There's no choice.

"Restraint"

I had a bit of unease with the image of tying them up with ropes, so I imagined putting them in a cage.

I successfully stopped their movements.

Upon closer inspection, the seven are abnormally thin and injured.

"Curse Removal"

A ring of light appears around each of the seven.

Then, a wall of light forms over them, and light pours down.

When the light disappears, all seven have fallen.

Some are even spitting blood.

"Heal"

I panicked, I didn't expect them to fall.

It's amazing they didn't fall before.

Could it be because something was possessing them?

The breathing of the seven dogs has calmed down, and Chai seems to have calmed down too.

I felt he was shocked by the sight of the one spitting blood.

Really, I'm glad I didn't let them die.

When the dogs regained consciousness, they shrank in fear.

It seems Chai explained something to them, as they gradually calmed down and began to check their surroundings.

That's good.

Once they were reassured, anger began to bubble up.

I imagine lightning striking the source of the curse.

"Heavenly Punishment"

I haven't formed a clear image, so the magic shouldn't activate.

Well, it's a matter of my feelings, and I feel a bit relieved.
