“That was a delicious meal,” Lynne said upon finishing her breakfast. I’d just emptied my fifth bowl.

“Time to go, then?”

“Yes. Forgive me for delaying us. Let’s go see Kyle.”

We had completed the morning’s work without a hitch, but there was a lot more still to be done. To that end, we headed to the village elder’s home to meet Kyle and discuss our plan for the rest of the day. He was already outside.

“Our apologies for the wait,” Lynne said.

“Not at all,” Kyle replied. “You told me to expect you a little after sunrise, so you aren’t late or anything.”

“Still, it’s a pretty early hour...” I added. “Sorry about that.”

“I don’t mind at all. Here.” He presented us with some paper. “As you both requested, I’ve drawn you a map of our village. It’s a little crude, so you might have to bear with me.”

“It looks great, thanks.”

“May we add to it?” Lynne asked.

“Of course. Use it as you please.”

Now that we’d prepared the earth, our next focus was setting up a local water source. Lynne examined Kyle’s map while we all discussed the best place to install one.

“Instructor, how about this high ground over here?”

“Looks good to me. Great elevation, and it’s right at the center of the village.”

“Yes, it certainly does stand out from an ease-of-access standpoint. Kyle, are there any issues with using the land in this area?”

“Not at all. The elder said you can build wherever you wish, be it inside or outside the village.”

“Are you sure?” I asked. “The hole’s going to run pretty deep.”

“The hole...? Well, yes, that should be fine. But isn’t this for water? I don’t think there’s any to be had underground.”

“That’s quite all right,” Lynne said. “The hole is for storage.”

“Storage? But where will the water come from?”

“Well...”

My attempt to dig a well had failed catastrophically when we’d run into the Divine Beast, so we’d settled on using the Wellspring Pipe as a water source instead. Because it was so extremely valuable, we’d thought it best to obtain the elder’s permission before anything else. Lynne and I had met with him in the morning to explain our plans.

To begin with, the elder hadn’t understood our proposal to set up a water source in the village—but his confusion had quickly turned to shock when Lynne produced the Wellspring Pipe and demonstrated its potential. He’d shot up so suddenly that his head went straight through the ceiling! We had rushed over to help him, but his thoughts were completely elsewhere.

“D-Do you mean to say...that our village will receive a constant water source?!”

Lynne had replied in the affirmative, which caused the elder to freeze as though his soul had departed his body. I’d then told him about the crops I was going to plant, and Lynne had explained her plan to set up a militia of archers to keep the village’s new water source safe from bandits. By the time we were done, the elder’s expression had turned into a teary smile.

“I cannot believe it.
