Chapter 63

 

On my birthday, Mireon left for Nuviar.

 

I wanted to see him off until he took the portal, but I couldn’t because Callix Crowbell threatened me to mind my own business.

 

Still, the relocation work must have been satisfactory, as Mireon never returned and the elves never came looking again.

 

Having safely overcome the crisis, Nuviar accelerated the reservoir and sluice construction that had been temporarily halted.

 

I also focused on preparing for the summer rainy season. I not only worked on drainage construction but also repaired buildings, and relocated residents from buildings that were too deteriorated to fix to other places.

 

If problems arose during the rainy season, I also designated shelters so people could evacuate immediately.

 

I paid attention to even the smallest details, like protecting food from rotting with oil-soaked cloth and installing covers on wells to prevent rainwater from flowing in.

 

The Nuviar side must have had smooth construction progress too, as they sent word that the reservoir and sluice construction work was completed less than a month after the relocation work ended.

 

And exactly one week after all preparations were complete.

 

Whoosh-

 

The summer rainy season that Belheim residents feared most began.

 

Thick streams of rain poured down relentlessly as if holes had been punched in the sky. It definitely couldn’t be compared to the autumn rains.

 

Yet I wasn’t anxious at all.

 

Because the preparations were perfect. This time I had even made models and tested everything, so there was no need to worry at all.

 

‘I’m a bit worried about the Nuviar side though.’

 

Because I couldn’t personally confirm whether the reservoir and sluice construction went well.

 

I did receive photos of the completed site, but they were black and white so I couldn’t see properly.

 

‘Please let nothing go wrong.’

 

That’s the only way I can clear the main quest.

 

I desperately hoped and checked the quest window several times a day.

 

If we successfully blocked it, there would definitely be an indication that the quest was completed.

 

On the seventh day of checking the quest window so much it could wear out.

 

[Main Quest Complete.]

 

[Reward: 150,000 points acquired.]

 

Finally, the quest completion notification I wanted appeared.

 

Since I don’t go to work during the rainy season, I was rolling around in bed and immediately got up.

 

[With this, all CH2. Main Quests have been completed.]

 

So that was indeed the last quest of Chapter 2.

 

[Additional reward. 20,000 points acquired.]

 

[New items have been added to the shop.]

 

[Title acquired. Slightly Famous Architect.]

 

“If I’m famous, I’m famous, but what’s ‘Slightly Famous Architect’?”

 

I clicked my tongue in bewilderment, then grinned when I saw the points that had accumulated to over 300,000.

 

So this is what it feels like to be full just from looking.

 

“The System Shop was updated too, so maybe I should do some shopping.”

 

First I need to buy nails. I should change the hammer too if possible…

 

“Ah, I should change the saw first.”

 

From cutting wood so diligently, the saw blade had dulled and couldn’t be used anymore. The hammer wasn’t in good condition either, but the saw was more urgent right now.

 

“Wow, there’s even a 300,000 point saw.”

 

That must mean it’s that good.

 

It was tempting, but too extravagant for me right now. I compromised on a saw around 100,000 points, and bought a better hammer than before with the remaining money.

 

“It would be nice to have a woodworking plane too.”

 

There were no planes here, so when smoothing wood grain, I had to use a wide-bladed carving chisel.

 

It was precise, but if my concentration wavered even slightly, mistakes would immediately occur, and it took a long time too.

 

“I should buy one and ask the workshop to make an identical copy.”

 

Hammers and saws were difficult to replicate because material and precision determined performance, but planes could be used as long as the structure and angles were right.

 

“Huh, I only have 30,000 points left now.”

 

I still have a lot I want to buy, this is trouble.

 

The sweet mix coffee was especially tempting. There was coffee here too, but it was expensive and had a strong bitter taste. You had to add plenty of sugar to barely make it drinkable.

 

The problem was that sugar was also incredibly expensive.

 

So since coming to this world, I had hardly ever drunk coffee.

 

“Ah, I want to drink some.”

 

Once I got fixated on it, my eyes kept going there.

 

“One box is 25,000 points, but it contains 180 packets, so it should be okay to buy…”

 

I’ve worked hard all this time, so shouldn’t I be allowed this much luxury for myself?

 

“Alright, let’s do it.”

 

I squeezed my eyes shut and pressed the payment button. When I opened them again, a box of mix coffee was placed before my eyes.

 

[Remaining points: 5,000p]

 

The points hit rock bottom.

 

“Whether it’s salary or points, they pass through accounts the same way.”

 

Just saving up without spending until now was admirable enough.

 

I can work hard to save up again from now on.

 

Consoling myself like that, I headed to the kitchen carrying the coffee mix.

 

As soon as I poured the coffee mix into a cup and added boiling water, a sweet aroma spread widely.

 

“Yes, this is the smell.”

 

This is real coffee.

 

Just from taking one sip, my mind felt at peace and my stiff head seemed to start working.

 

“That’s a nice fragrance.”

 

Tabin, who was in his room, also smelled the fragrant coffee aroma and came outside.

 

“Would you like some coffee?”

 

“Coffee? You got that expensive stuff?”

 

“Yes. They gave it as a reward for all my hard work.”

 

Since it was a reward I gave myself, it wasn’t wrong to say that.

 

“Please have some.”

 

I made mix coffee for Tabin too. He took a sip and his eyes widened.

 

“This is coffee?”

 

“Is it not good?”

 

“Not good? Rather, I was surprised because it’s so delicious!”

 

Tabin praised it endlessly, saying it was the first time in his life he’d had coffee like this, that this wasn’t coffee but a work of art.

 

Seeing him enjoy it so much made me feel proud.

 

“If you want more, just let me know.”

 

“No, that’s enough. Coffee this delicious must be expensive, one cup is sufficient.”

 

“It’s not that expensive, so please tell me anytime you want some.”

 

When I said it again, Tabin looked around cautiously then quietly held out his cup saying ‘Then just one more cup…’

 

Really, his actions are cute despite not matching his large build.

 

I was leisurely drinking coffee and chatting with Tabin with the sound of heavily pouring rain as background music.

 

Bang, bang bang-

 

The sound of someone pounding hard on the door was heard.

 

Who could be coming in this weather?

 

“Huh? Mireon?”

 

Through the window, I could see Mireon standing there, completely drenched by the heavy rain.

 

I opened the front door in surprise.

 

“Why are you here, Mireon? Didn’t you go back to the forest?”

 

“I did go back, but I came again because I have business to attend to.”

 

“With me? No, more importantly, come inside first.”

 

I couldn’t just leave him standing outside like that, so I brought Mireon into the house. He was soaked from head to toe, so much that a raincoat would have been useless.

 

“The bathroom is over there, so go wash up. Do you have clothes to change into?”

 

“I don’t.”

 

“Then I’ll bring you some. You don’t mind wearing someone else’s clothes, right?”

 

Mireon nodded.

 

After he went into the bathroom, I placed a fluffy towel and Tabin’s clothes in front of the door.

 

I wiped up the water droplets that had fallen along the path he took, and by the time I had prepared warm instant coffee, Mireon came out of the bathroom.

 

I gave him the smallest clothes Tabin had, but they’re still too big.

 

“Sit here and drink this.”

 

I sat him down on the sofa and handed him the cup.

 

After taking a sip of the instant coffee, Mireon’s eyes became the widest I’d ever seen them.

 

“What is… this?”

 

His reaction is exactly the same as Tabin’s.

 

“It’s coffee.”

 

“This is coffee?”

 

Mireon took another sip of the coffee as if he couldn’t believe it, then let out a sigh.

 

“This is the first time in my life I’ve had coffee this delicious. How did you make it?”

 

I just tore open instant coffee and put it in.

 

Since I couldn’t say that, I glossed over it vaguely.

 

“That’s a secret recipe only I know, so I can’t tell you.”

 

Fortunately, Mireon didn’t pry deeper.

 

“Eileen, not only are you excellent at architecture, but you’re also excellent at making coffee.”

 

Instead, he looked at me with pure admiration.

 

I just made instant coffee, but hearing such words made me scratch my cheek in embarrassment.

 

“So what brings you here? Did something go wrong with the relocation work?”

 

If that were the case, he would have gone to Smith Viscount instead of me, right?

 

“No. There are no problems with the relocation work. I wasn’t interested in it to begin with anyway.”

 

Huh? He personally came all the way to Nuviar to tell them to stop construction, but now he says he’s not interested?

 

“I came here because of a different problem.”

 

Looking tense, Mireon gripped his cup tightly and slowly opened his mouth.

 

“To solve that problem, Eileen, I absolutely need your help.”
