Chapter 96

With the weather warming up, I started to develop the area above the newly created underground space.

As usual, I cut down trees.

The stumps were lifted by Shuri and moved by the boss.

Their coordination was perfect.

Shuri and the boss are so big~

About the size of a light truck, maybe?

The baby spiders have slowed down in their growth after reaching a certain size.

The little spiders are still growing.

Will they catch up to the baby spiders?

Imagining everyone growing to the size of a light truck… I’ll stop there.

It’s too scary.

I watched the stumps being moved at a leisurely… no, quite a fast pace.

Is it too fast…?

Well, it’s good that they’re quick.

These days, we’ve started going out hunting.

The prey they bring back is still huge as always.

However, it’s always the same members who go hunting.

There are some who don’t go hunting… I wonder why?

I hope they’re not sick or anything.

I’m worried.

Before I knew it, I was standing in front of the vast… too vast second square.

The one-eyed ones seemed happy to start building fences.

They didn’t have much work during the winter.

However, I don’t think the work will continue forever.

I’ll stop imagining scary things.

The agricultural team was plowing the fields… or rather, the baby ants and little ants were plowing.

The agricultural team seemed to be planting seeds.

…There aren’t enough members in the agricultural team?

Did they go to the fruit forest?

The forest is big, so good luck to them.

Hunting was going well, and the baby ogres were happily starting to butcher the prey.

Seeing their speed, I completely gave up.

Well, I knew that would happen.

The three-eyed ones brought new clothes.

A completely different design… I’m scared to count the number of clothes.

There’s no need to make so many.

Spring has everyone motivated to work, so I’m… free.

……

I found out why some don’t go hunting.

The female wolves, including the core, and the female dogs are pregnant.

I was a bit surprised.

…It’s spring, so it’s normal, I guess.

…I’m feeling a bit lonely.

Maybe I’ll look for the forest’s boundary.

I’ll take my time and explore slowly.

Pregnancy is a happy thing.

I just hope they’re born healthy.

…Will there be enough food?

We managed to get through the winter with the food stored in the storage room.

What surprised me was that everyone developed their own favorite vegetables and fruits.

I thought there would be plenty of vegetables and fruits left, but there’s only a little bit left in the storage room.

If the family grows, I should consider storing more.

“Maybe we need to expand the fields?”

I was asked!

I must have said it out loud unconsciously.

The agricultural team is formidable.

The next day, the agricultural team requested to expand the fields.

It’s not decided yet… it shouldn’t be.

We’ll expand, we can’t let the children go hungry.

…It’s not that I’m scared of the agricultural team.

I’m not scared.

……

Too vast!

We’re almost at the cave Chal and the others found.

It’s strange that the house looks so small!

…This far is enough! I’ve done my best.

Next time, I might lose… but I’ve done my best.

We expanded the fruit forest at the same time as the fields.

The agricultural team was scared to look at the fruit forest… but they asked me to.

However, more than half of the expanded area is covered with something like grapes.

Well, everyone does want them, but drunk people are scary, too scary!

…No, running out of wine is even worse… Ha ha ha.

I helped with the hunting.

If I stay in the fields, I get kicked out… Ha ha ha, I don’t care anymore!

We also need to increase the amount of meat stored.

I expanded the storage room, but it won’t be enough if the children grow.

Where should I build it?

I’m happy I could do it.

When the warm, pleasant breeze started blowing, the births came all at once.

Cute, let’s do our best.
