Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 68.2

After a while swaying in the carriage, we arrived at the abandoned mine village.

“Oh…? It’s really starting to take shape.”

Just from yesterday and today alone, many buildings have begun to rise.

“Welcome back, Lord!”

It’s Mei-chan, the most energetic girl in the village. She is the kind-hearted child who previously asked Diana to look after us.

“I’m back. It looks like many buildings have taken shape today.”

“Yes! Thanks to you, everyone seems happy and motivated! They might finish everyone’s houses by this week!”

“I see. That’s great.”

Isn’t that a bit too fast? Is it because this is another world and the higher status makes labor much more efficient?

The proof is in the scene before me. A man is walking effortlessly with large timber stacked higher than his own back in both hands.

“Also, as you said, we’re working fifty minutes out of every hour and taking ten-minute breaks! We’re making sure everyone has a proper lunch and even designated nap times! Everyone says it’s much easier to work now!”

Thanks to my previous life, I wanted to promote a white-collar working style.

In the big city of Emblam, I saw many people working all day and then sleeping, with their pay being quite insignificant. The situation in our village of Polopoko was even worse.

“Right. Mei-chan. Keep an eye on things as the site supervisor!”

“Yes! I’ll do my best!”

Since a child as perceptive as Mei-chan is the most suited for the role of site supervisor, I decided to let her take charge rather than an adult, and it seems to be the right choice.

After that, the adults noticed us and came over, expressing their gratitude.

Among them, what stood out the most was that everyone—deeply thanked the lady.

It seemed like the lady remembered each face and name, recalling everyone’s face and the advice given last time. Seeing that, I felt I was witnessing a talent beyond status or job skills. Our lady might be a super genius.

Well, more than that, even though the lady has been sulking at the academy and the mansion, she always has a smile when she’s here. After all, it’s best for a woman to smile, and since the lady seems to be enjoying herself, it might have been the right choice to come here every day.

The place used as a square has expanded and now resembles the size of a plaza in the royal capital.

When this becomes a large town, it will surely be a place where many people will pass through.

There are several enormous pots lined up, simmering soup that wafts a delicious smell into the air.

We join the crowd and are treated to dinner.

As expected, Al seemed unsure at first about what to do, but surprisingly, the lady explained things clearly, and he quickly adapted.

For a while, there are plans for a communal dinner every day, where everyone, regardless of age or gender, enjoys meals together while deepening friendships.

After dinner, everyone starts to dance.

Just like a sports festival dance that I could only watch in my previous life, some people pretend to play instruments, and although the sound is hardly pleasant, the lively music naturally makes our bodies sway.

Mei-chan and the others rush in, grabbing my and Al’s hands, pulling us toward the big bonfire in the center of the square.

I suddenly feel my face getting hot.

However, soon after, the lady and Lisa catch up, and everyone begins to imitate the folk dance they’re doing.

I’ve seen it several times before, but despite it being my first time dancing, everyone else quickly adapts, and even Al begins to dance, keeping up with everyone.

As I lose myself in the dance, my partner, the lady, comes over.

“Hehe. Beryl, you’re not very good at this, huh?”

“W-well… it’s my first time dancing in my life…”

“That’s because you stubbornly refused dance lessons.”

“T-that… sigh… I should have taken them properly.”

“That’s true. But it’s not too late. I’ll teach you properly.”

“Ugh… thank you…”

After that, I learn to dance step by step from the lady.

If someone asked me whether dancing is necessary for living, I would unhesitatingly say, “No.”

But if someone asked whether it’s unnecessary to learn how to dance?

To that question—

—I would answer that learning to dance makes life a hundred times more enjoyable.
