My Reincarnation Skills Are “Playing With Dolls” and “Playing With Clay”, but What Am I Supposed to Do With These? C110

Episode 110 (Special Edition) Letter from Scutari

``Shiro-san, how are you doing?


I left you without being able to fulfill my promise to teach you how to read and write. That's why I'm worried whether Shiro-san will read this letter.

I'll write it as simply as possible, so please do your best. I'm rooting for Dina too.


If you can read this, I have included a letter from Beth, so please try that as well. I think it's much more difficult than my letter.

I don't know if it's because it's embarrassed that I can see the contents, because it's pasted very carefully with wax. It's okay, it's kind of bittersweet between young people.


Beth and I are currently working together on domestic affairs. When I said I would write a letter to Shiro, Beth said, ``I won't give up,'' and Beth wrote one too.

However, Beth seemed to have a hard time paying the guild for shipping the letter. When she went to the capital, she bought too many books and ran out of money. Even though it's a long business trip this time, I'm only wearing the clothes I've been provided with. So I decided to include it in my letter. Is this the meaning of the proverb that Shiro said earlier, ``send salt to the enemy''?


Aside from that, things are changing incredibly fast in Scutari.

No, it's not just Scutari. Now we should say, "In the Viscounty of Albania." This is because three new pioneer villages have come under Karena's control.


Therefore, we have made major revisions to Mr. Manjani's plan.

It was decided that development would proceed in order, not only in the forest near Scutari, but also around the new village.


As a result of research, it was found that the villages of Nadan and Ekuru could support more people if their farmland was expanded, just like Scutari. So, as planned, we used Beth's fire magic to burn down a part of the forest to open it up, and then used earth magic to run a channel through it, drawing water from a tributary of the Belachie River. This is expected to double the amount of rich farmland available.

However, the population of the remaining Pasuk village has decreased due to the epidemic, and it has become clear that it is difficult to protect the current village. Therefore, it was decided to build a canal into the village itself so that they could access clean water and improve the sanitary conditions.


Basically, this kind of major construction work is carried out solely by Beth's magic. Later maintenance will involve mobilizing local farmers and lumberjacks, but I think it will be really difficult. So please don't feel bad if the next letter is full of crap. He's a really good kid.


We surveyed the site and created plans and schedules before Karena and Beth returned. Thanks to that, work has progressed considerably in the three days since Beth joined us.

In the first two days, we completed the basic work of clearing the forest outside Scutari's walls and drawing waterways. The rest of the construction work was left to Commander Bata. It seems that the hunter Den and his friends are also participating.

And we moved to Nadan Village this morning. I also showed Beth around the site and just finished discussing tomorrow's work. Great pace, isn't it?


I'm sure Shiro-san will look the same the next time he visits the Viscounty.

According to estimates, the population of the Viscounty is expected to increase to nearly 30,000 people in five years. Karena-sama encourages everyone, saying that if that happens, there will be no need to be afraid of pressure from Douras.


This letter is ordered to be sent by guild mail to the soldiers who are returning to report to Lady Karena in Scutari. I heard that it will be an adventurer, so I don't know when it will arrive.


Lastly, my schoolmate Dina says there's something she wants to tell Shiro-nii-chan, so I'll have her write it herself.



``I love you so much, when she grows up,

She's the girl who's going to be my wife.''



 Oh my, I'm in trouble.

Well then, I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

                  

The lover and mother of your heart

Leda

《Dear Shiro-san


Or maybe I should write Sir Shiro Tsuzuki. I was surprised to hear that after we broke up and left, not only Cecily-san but also Shiro-san became knights.

On the way home, this story and the engagement between Mr. Greon and Ms. Laruke were the two most talked about topics among the soldiers, and there were so many rumors that they were already full. However, there are many things that not everyone knows about Shiro-san.

That's right, there are rumors that Lina is a demon princess who can change the size of her body at will, and Shiro has made a blood contract with the demon princess to acquire forbidden magic. There was also a story that Cecily-san found out that he was a follower of the royal family, so the two of them ran away in the royal capital. I was asked my opinion, and I gave it 50 points.


Aside from that, I was also promoted to the rank of corporal. This is your reward for conquering the labyrinth. But it's just the name. I haven't hired any subordinates, and my salary will only increase after the autumn tax revenue comes in. Don't you think it's terrible? I bought books for adults with the help of my salary increase, but I will only be able to eat rationed food for a while, even though I am still planning to grow up...

On the contrary, when I returned to Scutari, I was told that I would be transferred to the internal affairs division led by Mr. Manjani, which was fine since I had never wanted to fight, but for the time being, I was told that the territorial army was short of manpower, so I would not be allowed to leave, but would be given a concurrent post. is. What do you think?


What's more, since I returned to Scutari, I haven't had a single day off! Really for a day.

The next day, under Mr. Manjani's instructions, we used magic to burn down the forest along the river outside the wall to clear up farmland. It's easy to start a fire now, but unlike a battle, you shouldn't overcook it, right? That's why I have to be very careful, and if I go even slightly beyond my plan, I immediately use water magic to put out the fire. This was difficult. If Lina-chan had been there, I could have divided my labor between lighting the fire and pouring water on it.

When it was finally completed, which took until the evening, we were asked to construct a waterway there the next day. Of course, water doesn't flow from low places to high places, so you have to go upstream quite a bit, use earth magic to dig a channel with a good slope according to the drawing, and solidify the bank. Then, I use water magic to drain water and check to see if it's okay.

 

tired. I'm really tired. My MP is depleted and all I can think about is blackness. It seems that the person who thought it would be great if I could use my magic to carry out this plan was a person named Shiro. Isn't that Germany? You should treat yourself to a lot, right?


Then, I was woken up again at dawn and went through what looked like an animal trail to the village of Nadan, a region I had never visited before.

I had been riding so much that my butt was hurting, and just when I thought I had finally arrived, Lady Ana, who was acting as Manjani's substitute, said with a smile that she was going to confirm the arrangements for tomorrow's work, but she wasn't smiling at all. I was then taken to a preliminary inspection of the location marked on the drawing.

That person is soft-spoken, polite, beautiful, sexy, and smart... Ah, I'm feeling a bit depressed about her, but she's definitely a slightly dark-skinned person.

Sorry, I didn't have the money to send a letter, so I had to include it in Lady Anna's letter and send it to her. Seal this letter securely with wax so that it cannot be seen. It is scary.


And that's not the end, Cecily-san, Lord Istrefi has come with his troops to exterminate the monsters around here, and he says, ``Beth, that's just fine, I'm not using MP today, so it should be okay.'' , I had already done my job, but now I was forced to join the soldiers and fight monsters until dusk! Shiro-san used to call this kind of thing "black and white", right?

 

Immediately after Cecily returned to Scutari, she changed her job to knight at the temple and is now a knight LV7. Cecily, Greon, and Laruke have brought a group of about 10 people to protect our internal affairs team as they go to develop the three villages. There aren't as many high-level monsters as in the labyrinth, but I feel like the number of monsters has been increasing recently. It would not be surprising if there was at least one more labyrinth within the expanded territory. I don't like it.


Ah, I have to finish the letter soon, and I have to take it to Hayama, who will report it to Karena-sama.


Well then, I'd like to go to the capital again and see you again, but since I don't have the money or time off, I'd like Shiro-san to come see me. As for souvenirs, I'd like to get some rare magic books and a sweets shop called Red Brick Inn on the street of the cathedral in the capital that has baked goods that last a long time.

Say hello to Nolte-chan. You're not doing anything naughty, are you? It's no good, don't touch the child. I'm almost 18, but no, I don't mean that, so please don't get me wrong.


Your friend Beth


PS: Sorry. Were you able to read it?

   The writing might have been a little difficult.

Please do your best to look it up in a dictionary.  》

As expected of Leda-san, she is an ideal female teacher. There was a Dina bomb at the end, but she put in some kind words and sentences, so she did her best and managed to read it. In comparison, Beth's book is too difficult and written too tightly, I can't read it. In the end, I let Lina read it, and all the girls listened and asked me questions later... How should I respond?
