arranged at the side of the statue to illuminate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those glowing stones are carved into flame-like shape so they appear like white flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I never thought that a light stone can be carved…..」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Amazing」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain elves and ancestor-san are really surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light stone, it is exactly what it is called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is continuously glowing so it is used as light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is used as light but even a small pebble is expensive so it is not something that watchmen can carry around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only rich households use it to light their homes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And ancestor-san carried them here from somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are even dozens of them at the size of a small child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small stone is already expensive and he brought those here to decorate the god of creation’s statue….I better not ask how much they cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, they were set up to the places where the mountain elves calculated to as light source….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How unrefined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are just a bunch of stones that glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve devoted myself to decorate this place and I can’t stand to see something boorish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I carved those stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the form of flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goody, I praised my nice design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I carved one, the amount of light it gives off didn’t change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, I carved everything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, those give off a more appropriate atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I designed the patterns on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought of carving something like a landscape but it won’t be appropriate for this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I can’t carve something asymmetrical too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, carving a regular pattern in this entire place is kind of hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With my crystal clear intention, I feel that my hands started moving skillfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my head, I thought of a beautiful, warm design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think I succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope ancestor-san won’t complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pray that he won’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Is it done?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked a high elf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「It is.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is now a doorway that connects to the spiral, screw hole I dug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall of this place is also carved with my design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the god of creation’s statue, there is something like an altar that ancestor-san instructed to build.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be said that this place is generally complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The underground work is complete.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, our work here is indeed done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next is the above ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem is the hole directly above the god of creation’s statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it rains, the statue of the god of creation will surely be stained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are now discussing on how to close the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is also a talk about building a shrine on the ground as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will also be a wooden shrine so it’s OK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We get some more high elves from the village and build it at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll use it to control the hole right above the statue of the god of creation and the hole that I dug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I followed the instruction of the high elves and worked hard in logging and processing wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden shrine on the ground was completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks like a wooden house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This house is basically composed of two main areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area in front is the living area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are tables and chairs and it gives off the feeling of a place where one can rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area at the back leads to the hole I dug and the hole directly above the god of creation’s statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fence was set up around the hole in order to prevent someone from falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be dangerous if one would fall in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is also an open and close mechanism on the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, the center beam of the house needs to be removed and so it needs to be reinforced in some places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the mountain elves’ idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be closed when it is rainy and can be opened when the weather is nice….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you plan on having someone stay for that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right on this place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, though we built this place….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Won’t this be crushed by monsters and demon beasts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That problem was solved by ancestor-san.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of a magic talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic is convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Won’t it be better if you put gargoyles here?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You put 10 of them in the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought you’d put some of them here too…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Though I love and respect the god of creation, a statue is a statue. On the other hand, the titans’ lives will be endangered if something happened on the tunnel.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I see.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, the earth warriors that helped me while I’m digging the hole leading underground are now guarding the god of creation’s statue underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TN: Ursa calls them soil subordinate when she was still a ghost king, the village chief calls them clay doll earlier and ancestor-san calls them earth warriors when they were exterminating centipedes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I really must thank you. I appreciate it.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「You have been taking care of me so it’s nothing.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancestor-san thanked me happily. That alone is enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, should we go home?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hnn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are you holding my shoulder?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Isn’t there one more place?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…..right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, let’s all return to the village first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I forgetting something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s have a roll call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We went to the place where the second black rock lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is also a hole above it so we can access it from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancestor-san knows the place so there won’t be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancestor-san and I will be the first one to survey the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second black rock is also in the forest of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The location is far east.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rasuti didn’t burn the place down so it took us some time to find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We finally found the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is similar to the hole from the previous shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, does that mean that there is a black rock directly under this hole too….?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hnn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I somewhat feel something’s not right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took the AFT out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancestor-san is also obviously cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I look for something that could be thrown in but can’t find one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wish I had a pebble with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancestor-san seems to be thinking the same thing. He created an earth warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the earth warrior approached the hole…..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was eaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one who jumped from the hole is none other than a centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those bugs crept out of the hole one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Re-retreat!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hugged ancestor-san and we escaped via teleportation magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Floating?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place we teleported to has nothing to step on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「We’re above.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancestor-san is floating in the air like it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for me, I’m hugging ancestor-san’s waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the centipedes stretched out its head and found us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It jumps at us while showing its intimidating fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Hah….that’s useless.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancestor-san teleported again and we returned to the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m relieved seeing this familiar scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat is dripping from my wet hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I already encountered them in the titan’s dungeon, there is something strange about those centipedes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest will be more dangerous with them around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should I do……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I was thinking, ancestor-san moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called Hakuren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We moved again to the sky above the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then spews fire on the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragons are amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, I’m accompanying ancestor-san again while hugging his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancestor-san can exterminate the centipedes by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it is troublesome to deal with them one by one so we withdrew earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am currently plowing the burnt area of the forest which was a result of Hakuren’s breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also put my palms together to pay respect to those monsters and demon beasts who were caught by the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancestor-san, on the other hand, went inside the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hakuren is staying with me as my guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ursa is also with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever Hakuren goes, Ursa goes too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s very much used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, wouldn’t it be better to have her stay at home at times like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, Hakuren….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You shouldn’t spoil her too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Virrage sheep, shamthings there.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hnn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the direction where Ursa pointed at….it’s just the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehto….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t see anything but it seems like Hakuren saw something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「That is something we can’t talk with.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hakuren stands in front of Ursa to cover her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it is already late, I finally saw what she’s pointing at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A human equipped with sword and armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I can tell from the vibe it gives off that it isn’t human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it something that escaped Hakuren’s fire….?
