I get out of the pool and collect the dried fish. I feel a little more at ease now that I have enjoyed the elegant atmosphere.

I'm going to try the dried fish for dinner and maybe have a bottle of premium beer. Oh, I was going to have coffee, too. I'm getting excited.

............ no. I'm feeling completely generous. Hot death land. It's not wrong to build a swimming pool, but it's wrong to relax.

I'm still living on seafood, and my magic hasn't even reached the C rank yet. This is not the time to get excited and have a beer or something. Get a grip on the situation.

At this rate, I wonder when my magic will reach B. Hmm. I guess I'll level up a little and when push comes to shove, I'll just run into a nest of zombies and skeletons. You said there are stronger versions of zombies and skeletons, so they'll level up.

Put some wood on the stove and light it. Put a shovel instead of a frying pan on top. Thirty minutes. One hour. Bake the dried fish soaked in seawater.

If the dried fish are done well, you will have more variety on your table. If we can gather enough driftwood, we may be able to try our hand at smoking. Let's start with small things to improve our lives.

Belle and Rain also said they would eat dried fish, but I asked them to wait until the tasting was over.

We put the grilled dried fish on the plate and taste them one by one. I put my chopsticks to the ones that have been soaked enough. I can feel a slight saltiness ....... It is not salty at all. I am glad it is not rotten. 

Soaked for 30 minutes: ...... It still tastes less salty than the previous one, but it has a dried fish-like sensation.

The one soaked for one hour...... is less salty than the low-salted one, but the dried fish has concentrated the flavor and has a light taste, which is not bad. If I had to say something extravagant, I would prefer a stronger taste.

In the future, the salinity of seawater should be increased. Or, I will extend the soaking time to about an hour and a half. Next time I make it, I will try to extend the soaking time.

"Yeah. Bel. Rain. "This dried fish soaked for an hour is delicious.

"Yes!"

"Cue."

Belle and Rain eat the delicious, delicious food. Sylphy and Dine don't want fish for a while. I'm starting to envy them that they don't have to eat.

After dinner, I postpone the coffee I had planned to have in order to warn myself against being too proud. I'll vent this sadness by leveling up.

Sylphy. I've made most of what I can make, so I want to try the method you mentioned before to significantly extend the time we spend leveling up at night."

"I don't mind. How long do you want to work on it?"

Hmmm. There's really nothing to do during the day until the fields are ready. I'll just get lazy in the pool and beat the heat, so I'll put everything I've got into leveling up.

"After dinner, I'll go level up, maybe until daybreak. I won't be up until after noon, which will change the rhythm of my life, but I hope everyone will be okay.

"We're spirits, so we're not a problem, but will Yuta be okay? What if I get sick?

"If it seems too much, I'll change it back, but I'm sure we'll be able to work it out since we'll only be shifting our waking hours and not our sleeping hours."

"Okay. But don't push yourself too hard."

"Yeah. It doesn't make sense to die on the way up to the next level when you're trying to survive. I'll take the utmost precaution.

**

From then on, I went to bed in the morning and woke up in the late afternoon. I was a bit puzzled to make Belle and Rain follow such an irregular life, but after Sylphy and Dine told me that the spirits did not need to worry about such things, I let it go.

But to make a young girl spirit and a dolphin spirit work in the middle of the night seems to be a case of abuse to the onlookers, doesn't it?

We work on the level from after dinner until dawn, then come home and rest. When they wake up in the afternoon, they check on the fields, take a dip in the pool to cool off, or create whatever comes to mind.

The big deal in all of this was the bamboo dragonfly. I found a damaged bamboo when I was preparing a meal, and I made it and flew it during the daytime, and it attracted the attention of all the spirits. It caused quite a commotion at that time.

"Hey Yuta! What did you just do? You didn't use magic, did you?"

"Hmm? Now? It's an old toy from my hometown. I made it and it worked. It's funny."

"It's a toy?"

Why are you so surprised? But beautiful women are beautiful even when they look surprised.

"Yuta. One more time. One more time.

"Cue cue."

I called Belle and Rain to show them how to fly the bamboo dragonfly, and they were very excited. They were trying to pick up the fallen bamboo dragonflies and make them fly, but I guess they couldn't do it.

"Oh. Yuta, show me something like this."

A bamboo dragonfly was snatched from his hand. Why am I so surprised by a bamboo dragonfly when I can fly? Sylphy is observing the bamboo dragonfly from different angles and twisting his head.

"Why is this thing flying in the sky? DEANE. I'm pretty sure that's what was flying around."

"Yes. Yes. I'm sure of it. It's strange. It looks like it's just a board with a stick attached to it, or is there a secret to the shaved part of the board?

I was honestly surprised to see Dineh, who was considering the bamboo dragonfly with a serious expression on her face, not to mention Sylphy. A serious discussion between Sylphy and Deanne continues.

"Yuta ......"

"Ah, Belle. Sorry. I'm sorry. She's talking so seriously, I'll wait a little longer.

"Yes, sir."

"Cue."

Belle and Rain look very disappointed. My heart hurts. I want to take back the bamboo dragonfly and send it flying right now, but Sylphy and Dine's serious expressions put a stop to that.

After a while of discussion, Sylphy and Dine turn to me with a grin. I have to admit that I almost leaked.

"Hey, Yuta. This is a toy, right? Maybe it's not a toy, maybe it's a vehicle that people can fly in the sky?"

"Yuta. It's important. Please answer my sister honestly."

"I'm not sure what you mean, but I wonder if they used airplanes based on that principle in the past."

I don't know if propeller-driven airplanes are based on the bamboo dragonfly. The principle is similar, isn't it? Where were the Wright Brothers from? Was there a bamboo dragonfly? But what's the big deal?   

"Oh, yeah. There it is. Hey, Yuta. Will you promise me that you won't use this toy anywhere but here? I don't want you to ever show it to anyone."

"I don't mind, but why do you look so serious?"

"Yuta. This may be a toy, but it sure did fly. If someone gets an inspiration from this toy and develops a flying tool, it will be very troublesome.

"I don't think you could make a plane that quickly if you saw one. ......"

"Yuta. Even if it were, we wouldn't know if we took our time, would we? I don't want to take even the slightest chance. Please."

"Well, if Sylphy insists so much, I'll make sure no one sees it. I won't share my knowledge. But what's wrong with people flying? Even magic can fly, right?"

"Since you don't seem to understand it well yet, I'll explain that you cannot fly freely unless you make a contract with a higher spirit of the wind. Besides, it is very difficult to make a contract with a higher spirit. If you make a contract with a medium-level spirit, the country will bow down and come for you.

Huh? Sylphy and the others are big spirits above the higher spirits, right? I'm starting to feel like I'm getting a little too real.

"I understand that flying is very difficult."

"I'm glad you understand. I'm glad you understand. Even now, humans are fighting wars everywhere, and it would be a nuisance if we could fly.

...... I see. Now I understand why they wanted to keep the things that lead to flying a secret, even if they are toys. Even on earth, airplanes are used in wars and the damage is quite large. I'm afraid I'm going to get a lot of flak if I don't think this knowledge cheat through.

"Yes, airplanes were used in wars on my world, too. You've made your point, don't worry. I'll keep it a secret."

"Yes. Thank you."

"Yuta. I knew you'd believe me."

Leave Deanne alone. I'll keep my promise to Sylphy. A quick tug on my sleeve. I look down to see Belle and Rain pulling on my sleeve, tired of waiting.

We're allowed to play here, aren't we? Belle. Rain. I'm going to fly you now, so watch me carefully."

"Yes, sir."

"Cue."

I let him fly a bamboo dragonfly and taught him how to fly it. Belle and Rain seemed to enjoy playing with it. They were not good at flying the dragonflies because of their tiny hands.

But I didn't expect that the bamboo dragonflies would bring about a serious atmosphere.

Despite the unexpected, we spend our days like this and our nights leveling up. I continued such a life until the day Nomos, the Great Spirit of the Earth, arrived.

Name: Yuta Morizono

Level 25 

Strength C  

Magic C

Strength C

Intelligence B

Dexterity A

Luck B

Unique Skill

Language Comprehension

Pioneering Tools 

Skill

Life Magic

Hammer Technique

The overall performance has improved to some extent, and the most important magic power is now at C. If I can get one more rank, I can make a contract with Sylphy. I can make a contract with Sylphy, but I can't raise my level at all.

I heard that at this level, the demons roaming around in the land of the dead are not enough to give me any experience. It's getting more and more realistic that we're about to enter the den of demons ....... I'm really blue.

I'm glad that my dexterity is up to A, but I don't want to believe it's from all the construction work and knick-knacks I've been doing. I was overjoyed when I learned the hammering technique, but I was really depressed when I could perform it without any skills.

Oh well. Now it is important to welcome Nomos, the Great Spirit of the Earth. Let's forget about the sad things.
