Two weeks have passed since then and December has come to an end. One day left until the end of the year.
I usually do the cleaning job three times a week, but at the end of the year, the cleaning industry is at it’s busiest.
As expected we are booked for thirty-three days, there are now more employees but the work has increased too much so my work will inevitably increase.
I have the part-time job for 5 times a week till the New year’s Eve. Lately, I have not spent any money on the game but instead saving it just in case.
And I recently noticed that the cleaning industry is surprisingly suitable for my work. I get a sense of fulfillment after cleaning and seeing the cleaned floors.
The days of the village of Fate are going well. And the day for meeting new villagers has finally arrived.
“It has been a long time since then. How are you doing?”
Dordord and his caravan are visiting the village.
He has employed the same men as escorts. He stops near the gate of the fence.
“Welcome, Dordord.”
Gams opens the door and invites him in.
“Oh, the range of the fence is now rather wide. It seems now you can build buildings and make fields in here.”
You remember it even though you visited only once?
Considering the increase in the number of villagers in the future, the villagers have expanded the area inside the fence.
The area inside the fence has increased to almost double. There is also a stable for the horses, and they now live out of the cave.
There was a problem with the smell of horse droppings before. They had been thinking to do this for a long time but they lacked manpower and time.
“Can you confirm the items which you have requested? And also I brought two migrants.”
Dordord waves his hands towards his carriage and two people come out from inside.
A duo with no obvious difference in physique and appearance.
About the height of Gams’ chest, a bit taller than Carol.
Both have large faces and short limbs.
One had a bag with him from which several wooden handles we’re sticking out.
Their clothes were leather shorts with many pockets. Everything beyond their clothes is covered in brown hair.
The face is full of hair. Their eyes are round and sharp, while their nose is sticking out. Their hair is white from their eyes to their mouth.
“Red Pandas.”
To be honest, the appearance of the bushy tail is really cute.
Black pandas are more famous and popular but personally prefer the Red Panda.
“They are a couple from Okuma Race.”
“I am Ran.”
“I am Kan.”
The two of them bowed and introduced themselves?
Is it okay for them to stay with humans? In fantasy, you may usually find that beast-men are prejudiced and abused. What about this world?
“Hello Mr. Panda! Welcome.”
Chem ran up to then and takes their hands.
“Wow, Mofumofu.”
Carol is jumping around them, wanting to touch their hairs.
This is a welcoming sight, with no signs of rejection from the villagers.
It looks like a world without discrimination.
But are there any differences? Can you tell which one is male or female?
“They are experts in woodwork. They can also process stones and metals up to some extent. They have lived with a dwarf before.”
“We have lived in a cave before as well.”
“Yeah, we learned a lot from Mr.Dwarf.”
There was some anxiety about which kind of person would come, turns out beastmen…..and top of that Red Pandas….. isn’t it the best!!
From my images from zoos, they are good at climbing trees and are omnivores.
Well, the ecology might not necessarily be the same in the world of the Village of Fate.
Kan and Ran can live in the extra room in the cave since there are still lots left.
They don’t seem suitable for combat, but they still seem stronger at night and week during the day. Most likely they can be in charge to keep watch at night.

Well, it’s been few days since the Okumas came along.
It was not a lie that they are good at woodworks. In just a few days, they have built a log cabin inside the fence for them. Kan and Ran now live there. The room in the cave is now used as a semi-storage instead.
They have few conversations with the villagers because of their lacking speaking ability. Since they look like Red Panda and do their work diligently, they have a good reputation everywhere.
Well since I am not particularly busy right now, I am watching them.
I was worried as their food might not have been similar to humans, but it seems we don’t need to worry about it. They seem to eat everything.
The two of them also built some small items to reduce inconveniences in the village’s day to day tasks.
They are currently building a hut to store food, which should be completed soon.
Speaking of Ran and Kan, the story of their previous experience seems true. They found the location of a secret storehouse cleverly concealed inside the cave.
“Explosives”
“It’s dangerous!”
The inside was full of boxes filled with dynamites and bombs.
“A bomb???”
“For breaking the hard rocks?”
“No, it’s definitely more dangerous.”
Chem tries to stretch her hand and tries to pick it up.
While I wondered what to do with the boxes containing the bomb, Kan and Ran carried them back to their storage room inside the cave…… Is it fine?
Another striking recent event was that everyone finally found out that Murus is a woman.
Kan and Ran like to bath so they made a wooden bathtub. When they decided to take a bath, Gams invited Murus to bath with the men.
“I noticed it a little late but does he still think she is a man?”
Everyone was surprised except Kan, Ran and Laila.
Elves are said to be a long-living species. For hundreds of years. Their appearance is a bit genderless and they don’t differentiate much for their genders when they are old.
So, when deciding whether an elf is old or young, one should focus on their way of speaking and tone.
Chem and Carol became prepared for the appearance of another rival, Murus, but they judged it that they shouldn’t be worried as there is a large age gap of hundreds of years.
I know the good mood Gams and Murus have during their hunts….. both of you should be vigilant.
However, it would be strange to advise this in the oracle so I decided to just watch them with warm eyes.
Though the real intention was that one should never ever involve himself in such dangerous scenarios.
The dwelling of the villagers is still mainly in the cave, but since huts are built around it, it now looks like a proper village. I am a bit embarrassed of my village-building skills.
“Ran and Kan are ok for now. Next is to continue the development of the village.”
Despite the addition of Kan and Ran, we still lack manpower.
And Temptation of Evil God will be here in one week.
Unlike the last time, in addition to Gams and Murus, Kan and Ran can also fight. It seems that most beast-men have better physical capabilities than humans and there fighting style is quick.
I saw a scene where Ran killed a monster with Gams before. He climbed the tree with a spear in his mouth and then jumped on the monsters from high ground.
Dual wielding Gams, Murus with a bow and two beastmen with spears. The balance seems pretty good.
There is also the healer, Chem. This is a balanced party.
Judging on the strength of the Temptation of the Evil God last time, they should be able to pass through it without my help.
In addition, the number of Goblins has decreased around this area due the destruction of their bases.
However, it still is a common sense in a game for the enemy to gradually become stronger and the difficulty rises. If you are careless then you can have a rather painful end.
However, there is the Golem Summon saved as insurance so I am not worried.
This time we have already secured the areas where the monsters might be summoned. We have also learned about their operation timings so we should be able to face them properly.
There is no need to prepare in advance such as installing pikes outside the fences or dig the ground around the village to create difficulty for the monsters.
I have gained generous knowledge about strategies and traps from warring states periods. As for crafting those traps, I was confident in Ran and Kan.
“I was worried the previously, but this time I can just relax and wait.”
Within a week everything should be ready.
I leaned my body on the back of the chair and stretched while looking at the glass terrarium.
“Destiny, you took off the case again and walked outside right?”
I wonder if it hates small places because it leaves the terrarium quite often and is always moving all around the room.
However it might run into danger in the middle of his tour, especially when I am not around.
It looks like he knows I am angry with him so he went back to the case as if I was watching the rewind of a video.
He quickly restored the glass plate which was shifted from its position while returning. It can use escape tricks, its head should be really smart.
If the weather was not cold then we could have taken a walk outside, but it’s a rather weird pet so….
….but when I see Destiny, he seems calm despite the snow.
According to my internet research, there are lizards that are resistant to cold and are present in Russia and the Arctic, but I am not willing to try it with Destiny.
There is no way to investigate such detail right now. He looks similar to an armadillo lizard but there are many differences compared to the pictures on the internet.
“I am worried, but it is a member of my family”
A mysterious lizard and a mysterious game. Will one day both the mysteries will be solved?
I look at the villagers and Destiny alternatively with a mixed sense of expectation and anxiety.
