Intruder

 
 ”Ooh, looking at it again, it came out quite nice.”
 
 After making the wall, we all worked together to build the fort. The wall also had a watchtower, which made effective use of the bamboo.
 It was also great that the Bamboo Princess could manipulate bamboo. The Bamboo Princess was very helpful, so we also made beds out of bamboo. This bamboo is quite comfortable to sleep on.
 I feel like my base is gradually taking shape on this island. But I still used to be a magic architect to begin with, so I’d like to try my hand at various things.
 No good, no good. Besides, sure enough, there’s a limit to how much you can do with this amount of people.
 Though I’d like to increase the number of magic heavy machinery if possible. My bracelet can change shape freely, but it’s basically only one machine.
 Sure, if I want to make something that’s the same as this bracelet, special materials are needed, but if it’s something that can’t change shape, such as a magic excavator or a magic mixer, then if I had things like iron and magic stones, and ideally mythril, then it would be possible to make it.
 But then, “are there mines on this island where such ores can be conveniently collected?”, is the kind of conversation you’d have.
 There are still many places on this island that haven’t been searched yet. So there may be some if you look for it, but…
 Magic stones seem to be rather plentiful. And there’s also a good mana pool. If there are maan pools like that, there’s a chance that there might be one or two dungeons if you look for them.
 In that sense, it might be a good idea to take a break from construction work and explore the island further.
 Be that as it may… there is one more important thing to be done, so let’s tell everyone about that.
 
 ”Thus, the wall is built and the fortress is complete. We’ve secured a water and a sewage flow. So I think it’s a good time to go and prepare a field here.”
 ”Unii! Uni uni~♪”
 
 Uni was delighted when he heard about the field. To the point that he even moved in a way that was like a little dance.
 Uni is a fairy that deals with earth magic. He also likes gardening, so he’s good at farming. That’s why he’s happy.
 
 ”Mogu~♪”
 ”Mogu-♪”
 ”Mogu mogu~♪”
 ”Mogyu♪”
 ”Mo~gu~♪”
 
 Then the moles got drawn in and started dancing. The moles are good at dancing.
 
 ”Kyupi~♪”
 ”Koo~♪”
 ”Go-!”
 
 Then, as though lured in by Uni and the moles, Kani, Keon and Kobelco also started dancing.
 Yeah, what is this? But they’re cute, so it doesn’t matter!
 
 ”Haaaah, the fluffy guys are so adorable-noja~”
 
 Upon seeing this scene, the Bamboo Princess also showed a moonstruck expression. Because she also loves everyone.
 
 ”Haa, I enjoyed that very much-noja.”
 ”Kyupii~♪”
 ”Well, shall we make the field tomorrow?”
 ”Koo~♪”
 
 The Bamboo Princess was stroking Keon’s head. I stroked Kani, then afterwards the two of us stroked everyone else in the same way. Kobelco got polished.
 
 ”Go-♪”
 
 Kobelco was very happy when I polished him. Kobelco, who we once fought, is now an important friend.
 Then, we finished our meal, took a bath, then went to sleep in preparation for tomorrow. We put in a lot of effort, so today we decided to sleep in the fortress instead of the prefab…
 
 ”He~y! This rude guy! What the h**l’re you doing! Let me go, let me go!”
 
 I was awakened from my sleep by a girl’s high voice. It was still dark when I looked outside the fort. The voice came from inside the wall. It was the voice of a young woman, but it was different form that of the Bamboo Princess’s.
 I showed up at the fortress’s entrance hall and saw Kobelco approaching, holding up someone in his hand. Right now Kobelco is about roughly the size of the ceiling of the ground floor of the fortress.
 Hmm, it seems that Kobelco, who was patrolling for intruders who’d arbitrarily come in, caught them.
 
 ”He~y! What’s this guy! What’s a metal monster doing here, you really must be an invader from somewhere!”
 ”U~hm, there seems to be some misunderstanding, but who on earth are you?”
 
 The girl looked up at me when I called out to her. She was wearing a lovely tiara on her head.
 
 ”What on earth is going on-noja?”
 ”Bamboo Princess, and everyone else too, you woke up, huh. We’ve got a bit of a visitor.”
 ”A visitor?”
 
 When I explained to everyone who came over hurriedly, the Bamboo Princess peered in and looked at the other person.
 
 ”It’s a child-nanoja.”
 ”H-, how rude! You’re pretty much a child too!”
 ”What are you saying! My age is like that of a tree, and surpasses 500 years-nojazo!”
 
 The Bamboo Princess yelled in anger. Ah, yeah. She’s bamboo.
 But naturally, the other person had a “?” face when she heard that. Hmm, however, it’s true that when you look at her, she appears to be a child, but… she’s shaking while struggling with Kobelco holding her up, and every time they go swish-swish. Yep. She’s got some fairly good stuff.
 
 ”…you, where are you looking-noja?”
 ”Eh? No, nowhere really-”
 
 Th-, the Bamboo Princess is giving me a dangerously suspicious look.
 
 ”Wha-! You b*****d, n-, no way! I’m the Dwarven Princess, yet you’re going to do something insolent to me! You’re a goblin!”
 ”I’m not!”
 
 Tsk, I got misunderstood in a weird way. But, I’m sure I heard her say Dwarven Princess just now?
