Fortunately, since Vivi was wearing it, Alice put the muzzle on without any resistance.

“I smell tiger oppa here~”

“How does it smell? Is it a little bad?”

“No. It smells good somehow.”

“I’m glad you think so.”

I put honey in Ellis’ mouth. It was really cute to see her eating it with relish.

Of course, now she is no longer a cute little girl, but a giant war bear.

“From now on, I’ll have to prepare plenty of alcohol.”

“It seems like you’ve already had enough to drink.”

“It’s noisy!”

Compared to Alice, her mother, Vivi, seemed to be quite displeased.

It seems like she doesn’t like having to smell another man’s scent.

But there’s nothing I can do. There’s nothing that can stop Chang-Gwi’s appetite other than my smell.

“Okay, I’ll go now.”

“Tiger Oppa~Goodbye.”

“Don’t forget the alcohol!”

After confirming that the hot spring project was somewhat completed thanks to the mother and daughter of Changgwi, I returned to the village.

“Sian, what are you trying to do this time?”

“Khan, I want to build a facility.”

“Huh? Again?”

Khan, who had recently begun to worry about his identity as a blacksmith or a carpenter, seemed unwilling to take on new challenges.

“Of course, Khan and Petra, who are technicians, will be given different tasks.”

“Huh, if it’s something trivial, I’ll get mad.”

Petra also seemed to be getting tired of carpentry work and was starting to dislike it.

Clearly, I was happy just to be able to work until last year, but when did my head get so big?

“You need to make small items, but this also requires a high level of dexterity.”

When I showed him the drawing, Tom swallowed.

“This is definitely something that only technicians like Petra and I can attempt. But do we need to do stonework too?”

“The dwarves will help you with that. There is still time left to build the temple, so any manpower you have will be put here.”

“Is that so? I guess I should become friends with the dwarves now.”

“I like alcohol, so when the facility is built, I think we can all have a festival with mead.”

“Oh! Looking closely, this was a bar? I should have said that sooner!”

“It’s an arcade to be exact. It’s a place to drink and have fun.”

When the topic of drinking came up, Tom’s desire to work increased.

Petra, who doesn’t like alcohol, asked me dryly.

“Cyan, this structure is not easy to make, can you make it?”

“If I can’t make it, I’ll tell the dwarves. They’re not professionals, but dwarves are naturally good with their hands. ”

“No. I’ll do it. I’ll definitely do it.”

To deal with Petra, who has grown a lot these days, I had to touch her pride like I did now.

“It won’t be easy, right?”

It was definitely difficult.

Because Tom and Petra have to build everything from a foosball table to a billiards table and a bowling alley.

To be honest, I was thinking of trying it and giving up if it didn’t work out.

But Petra’s gaze changed, as if her pride had been properly hurt.

“I’ll do it. Don’t you trust me?”

“Okay, I’ll believe you, so don’t look at me like that. I’m scared to death.”

I guess we shouldn’t provoke Petra like this.

Is this the pride of a craftsman?

“Brother~ Everyone is gathered.”

As I was talking to Tom and Petra about the work, Clea came running up to me.

“Oh, Clea, why do you have a bump on your head?”

“I was running away and tripped over a rock.”

“Be careful.”

Fortunately, it wasn’t a serious wound, so I used Hestia’s divinity to heal Clea’s head.

“Don’t run away from now on.”

“Yeah! Thank you, oppa!”

After treating Clia, I immediately went to lead the assembled people.

“We will now make honey wine. The ingredients are ready, so all you have to do is assist. Khan, are you here? ”

“My lord, I am here.”

“How many oak barrels are left in the brewery for blackening?”

“There are roughly twenty revisions.”

“Please bring all of them.”

“Okay.”

“Brother, what should we do?”

Clia came to me holding the hands of Vivian’s twin sisters, Becky and Bessie.

“You just have to do something fun.”

“Can work be fun?”

“Why is Clea asking such a philosophical question?”

“Is that a compliment?”

“That’s a compliment.”

I stroked Nankleia’s head and assigned the young girls the tasks of making the liquor.

“You three just have to chew on the honey.”

“Don’t eat it, chew it?”

“Yeah, that’s the most important part of making alcohol.”

The honey wine made and consumed by northern tribesmen was made using a primitive method of fermenting honey by holding it in the mouth and using saliva.

Northern tribesmen also involve men in making mead, but for hygiene reasons, I decided to make it only with my children’s saliva.

“Only pretty girls can do that.”

“Brother, are we pretty?”

“Yeah, Clea is pretty. So can you help me?”

“Hehehe, pretty Clea will help you oppa.”

“Thank you.”

“I have to brag to my sister later~My brother is pretty~”

“Can you please bear with that?”

So the 17-year-old girls, Clea, Becky, and Bessie, began slurping honey into their mouths to make mead.

“My lord, I want to eat honey.”

“I want to eat it too.”

“…I’ll give you the rest later.”

Becky and Bessie were so enamored with the sweet taste of the plum that they looked like they wanted to eat it as is.

But didn’t you guys make it when you were in the North? This is the method Vivian taught you.

“Oops! I swallowed it.”

“Clea… ”

Fortunately, I ate a lot and got sick of it, but later on I started spitting out more than I ate.

“Clea, I told you to mix it up a bit.”

“Ugh, I don’t even want to put it in my mouth anymore.”

But now the honey is starting to run out.

“They adjusted the number of Prungs for no reason.”

At first, the honey monsters brought from the Prung nest were a male and female pair, so as time passed, the number of Prung in the apiary increased. However, although the honey monster Prung was harmless to humans, monsters were still monsters, so management was essential.

“I guess I’ll have to go plundering for the first time in a while.”

“Where are you going, Oppa?”

“I’m going to the forest because I’m running low on honey.”

“I want to follow you like my sister.”

“No.”

“Heeeek, I helped you, oppa, but you won’t listen to my request?”

“Haa… Okay. Instead, you should listen to what your brother says?”

“Yeah!”

“Fores, please help me here.”

“Yes, just leave it to me.”

I left the brewing work to Fores and took Nanclia with me to the dark forest where the Frang’s Nest was.

“Hehehe~ I’m on a date with my brother.”

“Do you like going out with your brother?”

“Yeah! Oppa always leaves me out.”

“…I’ll take care of the cleanup next time.”

“Hehehe, next time I want to go to the city.”

“City… ”

Perhaps because she had never left the village of Lugeron, Clea was happy just by going outside.

“Okay, next time I’ll take you to the city.”

“Really? It’s a promise!”

“Okay, promise.”

So, Clea and I made a promise by linking our little fingers.

If I had known this would happen, I would have brought you a little further out.

…

“Are you in charge of this work? Do you know where the Duke is?”

When I was almost done with my work, a dwarf with a long beard came to me.

“I am Ciantiatras.”

“Haha, you were the Duke.”

The old dwarf was puzzled, not knowing that the Duke would be directly involved in the work.

“Maybe because he is the first duke of the Holy Kingdom, he is different from the arrogant dukes of the Empire. If it were them, they would absolutely hate the sweat of a noble.”

“That may be true. But I feel more like a hunter than a noble.

“Oh, the Duke is a master painter.”

“No, I just want to be friends with those saviors. My father told me over and over again. Buy skills rather than gold. ”

“An old dwarf proverb. You have been well educated. ”

“Yes, he was my great father.”

After they had talked to each other for a while and gotten to know each other’s personalities, the old dwarf started introducing himself in earnest.

“Sorry for the late introduction. My name is Felichel of the White Moru.”

“If it’s a white moru, isn’t it the family of the fifth apostle, Shinpleta?”

“You knew it. Pleta is my niece.”

“You were a distinguished guest. I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you. ”

“Haha, it’s okay.”

Felichel, who had a cheerful smile, looked like a good-natured grandfather.

“I’m already out of the front line. You don’t need to worry about it.”

“So, I understand you participated in the construction of this temple?”

“I just participated to relieve boredom. Craftsmen are a group that can’t sit still. ”

“I know how you feel. There are many times when I feel more comfortable working than resting.”

“Hehehe, as expected, the Duke is from this side. Next time, when you have the chance, won’t you meet our Plata?”

“I know he’s busier than me, right?”

“Haha, that’s true. You’re just trying to take over your mother’s legacy for nothing.”

Felichel laughed heartily, as if my joke suited his taste.

“Oh my, I laughed too hard for my age.”

“Okay. So, is there a reason you came to see me?”

“Ah, no, the Duke came to ask about the sacred stone.”

“Are you talking about Shin Seok-mal?”

“Yes, it is the most necessary material when building a temple. Did you not know about the sacred stone?”

“I heard it for the first time today. Helia didn’t tell me separately.”

“Well, that’s fortunate.”

“Yes?”

The temple didn’t have the most necessary materials, but I was actually happy about it.

That sight made me feel uneasy for no reason.

‘Why did this person suddenly have madness in their eyes?’
