NPC Town-building Game Chapter 61

chapter 37

“During the Christmas season, everyone is requesting cleaning services. Will December be in shambles this year?”

He joked but the happy emotion disappeared from his face pretty quickly….

However…….

“Okay, my morning duties is over. I’ll have lunch and come back at noon. After that, I will drop you at your place and then head to work at night.”

“”Yes sir…””

“……understood..”

Two of the employees are responding unwillingly, well they still have some time to spare but its pretty tight.

Till now, even when I was busy, I would go around at most two sites a day, and it will take three hours for each site.

But for the last few days, three places is a norm. The worst is four places.

I usually start working from morning till four o’clock after midnight.

My body is at its limit. Even though I started with a keen mind to never quit, but the desire to do so is gushing up everyday.

I think people who go to work every day as matter of course are really great. They may not have noticed but for me who doesn’t do work everyday, its a matter of great respect.

I think, the working people who are funtioning members of society should be praised more.

My medicine to cure this breakdown usually is to watch the villagers on my smartphone.

The villagers are working hard today as well.

Carol is doing everything she can with her small reach.

Laila supports the village as the housekeeper and her husband acts as the heart of the village.

Even though there are things Rodis can’t handle, he cares for everyone.

And aside from being a brocon, Chem is an ideal priest and is good for support.

Originally, a native of the Forbidden Forest and an archer as well as a knowledgeable pharmacist, Murus.

And finally Kan and Ran, a couple with good craftsman skills.

Just looking at their daily life gives me energy and motivation.I can’t lose as the God of Fate.

I look at the smartphone while grinning in the car. I suddenly feel someones gaze and raise my face.

Yamamoto in the seat next to me was staring at me.

“What happened?”

“Is that a game you’ve been into recently?”

Ah, did he see that?

Ah, no, unless it spread on the net, it should be fine. My sister also knows up to some extent.

I can’t know whether he will spread it online. Should I deceive him?

“Yeah. Just before I start working I joined the beta test, so don’t tell anyone.”

“Oh, I’m not good at talking to people, I’m not doing it. I want to collect information on the internet about my game, but no one has written about it.”

Is this the flow where he wants to talk about his game?

Let’s see if I can divert the topic.

“Recently, leaking information about pre-sale games seems to be a litigation issue. If you do it poorly, you will end up paying millions and tens of millions.”

– ‘So please don’t talk about my game’

Because it was only seen for a moment and the title was not known … I think it should be okay.

“I guess it’s a bit dangerous. But uhhhh….. I’ve talked a lot to Yoshio about my game though…”

“I’ve heard of your fighting games, but I don’t know the title. And I don’t want to talk to anyone in the first place, I definitely won’t to send any information to the net”

“Oh, I’m saved. I don’t even care that much. But when you tell someone it’s a secret, don’t you want to talk about it even more?” [1]

“That’s true. I understand that feeling very much.”

I strongly agree.

The more interesting the game you are playing, the more you want to talk to people about it.

The game content is good and I want to boast about the healthy, hardworking and attractive villagers. How many times did I want to talk this with my sister in detail?

Perhaps I know that if I talked, my sister would think that I am silly, but I know that Village of Destiny is not just a simple game.

Villagers who behave like humans.

Fruits and mysterious glowing stones never seen before sent via parcel daily.

And the lizard, Destiny, whose species is still unknown.

…… Though it’s a little bit brute force but I can somewhat explain away the current situation.

This is the first game to develop and use advanced AIs.

They breed the creatues and fruits and sell them to the rich so they invest more time and money into the game.

I am just an ordinary person involved in such a large scale game. This is the idea which I have at the moment. I think its a bit unreasonable but its more like a fantasy setting of another world.

“What happened, suddenly you got quiet..”

“Um, I can’t tell you about the game. I really can’t tell people.”

“Yeah. But if the information is not leaked, it’s okay. Comon Yoshio don’t be square.”

“Sorry, I can’t talk to anyone…”

Some people will fall apart due to these advances but I will never talk to anyone about this.

“Let me talk about my game then.

In the game which I play, the goal is to destroy the base of the enemy and when you pay, you can increase the number of monsters you can control.”

Manipulating monsters…..A famous battle game comes to my mind which everyone must know. Its not a rare setting. [1]

“It’s a gacha game, right?”

“Well, yes, but it’s fun to destroy the villages like a villain, and the graphics is beautiful. The players are set as evil gods, and it is clear that their goal is to destroy Humanity.”

Its a setting which I don’t particularly like.

Especially now that I am defending a village. Although its just a game, I am still bothered.

“If you defeat an enemy, you accumulate points and use it to summon more monsters, but there is also a pay to win element. If you put in a lot of money, the points will increase rapidly. …… ”

“I see. I see……”

It looks like I am talking to myself. After all the pay to win system in recent games….

I realized that nothing in this world is more scary than the word money. How much did the Village of Fortune charged in total?……I am scared to even think of it.

But there is also the rewards. Probably, the food send as the tribute might have recovered some of my spendings. I checked it on the net, if you buy boar meat in store, its quite expesnive.

That mysterious fruit also seems nutritious and is also delicious. If it comes to the market then it will be treated as high grade commodity.

“I can increase my bases, but I need a lot of points. It’s quick to spend money, but to increase just a single base …”

Yamamoto gazes off to the distance.

I shouldn’t ask the amount if he is so scarred.

“I managed to increase the number of bases to three but recently two were destroyed.”

“You told me about one, but another one is destroyed?”

“That’s right, oh yea. I was aiming at two places at about the same time. I split my strengths therefore I coudn’t defend properly. I feel sick now. The main monster was also killed.”

He smiles a hollow smile.

I would be the same if the village was destroyed… It would have been even worse though…

I wish I could say something to console him but at this moment my lack of humans interactions pull at my feets. I can’t figure out what to say.

“I’m sorry for the money I wasted as well, but it’s just too interesting, this game. I think it’s the best I’ve ever played. I need to make money to-“

I arrived at my house at the time when he was trying to say something to Mr. Yamamoto who was really depressed.

“If you’re tired, go to sleep. We will do the rest.”

Yeah, I was so absorbed in talking that my precious rest time had passed.

However, the president keeps driving to work. His youthfulness is more than us combined?!?

“I’m home~~”

I managed to finish my work and came home early today.No, I didn’t have any conversations with him except about his work.

“Oh, you look tired. Do you want a bath or have dinner first?”

“I’m going to the bath …”

I dragged my tired body to the washroom, managed to take off my clothes and opened the glass door to the bathroom.

Then I saw my sister was bathing in the bathtub.

You knew what our mother taught us….

“… a majestic perv.”

“… I’m really tired, so could you leave room for excuses later?”

My younger sister who diss me without missing a beat. Since the bath salt is used, she is hardly visible.

For now, I just hide my lower abdomen by hands.

Screaming in this situation or calling molester only happen happens when there is no blood connections. If actual siblings encounter in the bath it will be something like this.

“Please tell me when you are done.”

As, I couldn’t take a bath together with her, so I tried to turn my heels and walk away but was suddenly splashed with hot water.

“It’s okay, You wash your body first. I’ll leave when you’re done.”

I don’t mind at all, but didn’t she hate bathing with me?

Not too long ago, she hated to go the bath after I used it. Isn’t this a major advance? [2]

I wash my head while thinking about how tired my head is.

“I’m still hungry.”

“… I’m sorry. I got you involved again.”

Unusually I hear my sisters depressed voice.

I’m shampooing, so I can’t see the her face, but I can guess that she’s tearing up a bit from her voice.

“… I’ts really my fault. It’s a brother’s duty to protect his sister. I couldn’t protect you before.”

“That’s not it. You’ve protected me.”

“It just failed and then ran away. I’m a bad brother.”

I can only escape, and while still begging a junior high school student, Yoshinaga. The stab was so fatal that the memories before and after are ambiguous, but I still remember that my sister showed a miserable appearance.

“I thought you have forgotten about the events at that time. Is you memory fussy? I cursed Yoshinaga and he got angry an took out the knife. You said to him, that if he want anyone then stab you, but don’t lay a hand on me!”

Huh……I don’t remember this. Was it like my sister said?

I looked at my sister who looked back at me with a teared up smile.

Its not a lie? Was I unintentionally making my memories worse because of my regrets?

It seems peoples memories are ambiguous, and that past events and memories might not necessarily match. In my decade of being a NEET, I might have tampered with both the good and bad memories on my own…….No, thats……

“But the fact that I couldn’t help you is still right.”

“What are you talking about? You helped as he escaped thus saving me, my voice and body was shaking at that time.”

My sister got kinda angry and sprinkled water on me.

“Woa WOA! Don’t do this. The hot water is going in my nose!”

I grabbed the shower and fought back with cold water.

“That’s cold ah ah! I’m already angry!”

“That’s my line!”

I got up while fully equipped read to fight her….

What interrupted this situation was…..

“It’s soon going to be New Year, dont fight in the bathroom.!”

It was my mother’s scream.
