C100:

Naming sense and me

Since then, I’ve been curious about the village, so I’ve tried to find out more about it, but I couldn’t get any more information than what I was told by Seika, who loves horror. If there were any new developments, Seika and my sister would be happy to tell me about it, so I decided to stop looking into it.

Today, all the residents except for the guards had gathered in the square in the center of the village. The eyes of the villagers were fixed on Lodis, who was standing on a temporary platform.

“Good morning, everyone. Today we will be announcing the name of the village, which people voted for.”

The villagers cheered when they heard Lodis’s voice. As I had explained, today was an important day to decide the name of the village.

I had set up a bulletin board in front of the church, on which I had written down five possible names for the village and placed a ballot box. Anyone who lives in the village is free to vote. Villagers who cannot write can simply write in the numbers.

I set up a voting period of one week, during which all the villagers finished voting. By the way, here are the candidate names.

1, Village of Fate or Destiny

2, Forbidden Forest Village

3, Lodis Village

4, Sugoi Village (Sugoi means amazing or awesome)

5, Kiragalochi Village

I don’t need to explain the first two. As for the next name, since it is common to name a place or a representative of the village, I decided to put the name of the village chief, Lodis. And Carol came up with the fourth one…….That’s it.

For the fifth, I just took the initials of the five people who founded the village and pieced them together. I’m not sure if I’m the only one who thinks that sounds a little crazy. In the first place, the reason why we suddenly decided to name the village was because of the branch of the Hunter’s Guild.

“What is the name of the village?”

This question was the start of a series of meetings. It was said that there was a s.p.a.ce for the village name in the doc.u.ments to be submitted to the headquarters, so a meeting was hastily held to discuss the problem.

The members were the usual Gams, Chem, Carol, Lodis, Laila, Murus, Fodom, and Sudhir representing the Dark Elves. There were nine members in total, including the newcomer Niles. Here was the log of our discussion at the meeting.

“The name of the village has been “Village of the G.o.d of Destiny” for the sake of convenience. But since we haven’t decided on an official name, let’s decide on one at this time. It is necessary for official doc.u.ments in the future.”

“Um, is there any kind of rule about the name of the village?”

Chem raises her hand and asks a question. The other villagers seemed to have the same question on their minds, and their eyes focused on Lodis.

“I’m sure it wasn’t anything special. I know, Mr. Niles…….Sorry, Mr. Niles.”

“If you’re referring to the villages I’ve visited in the past, the names of the village leaders and representatives who founded the villages, the names of the lands, some nuances, and even the names of the villagers were connected.”

He answered while counting his fingers. Niles seemed to have traveled frequently to do missionary work and visit churches around the world, so he was more familiar with the geography and common sense of this world than anyone else.

“Then it’s just Lodis Village, Forbidden Forest Village, and the village of the G.o.d of Fate that we’ve been using. People from outside may call it the Village of Destiny, though.”

Gams is unusually outspoken in his opinions. He rarely speaks out except in relation to battles, but he seems to be interested in the name of the village.

“Yes, yes! I like Sugoi Village.” (Carol)

Her parents silently pat Carol’s head with a chuckle as she raises her hands and bounces them in an appealing manner.

“I’m sorry. Do you have any other suggestions for the name of the village? And please don’t use Lodis Village. It’s too embarra.s.sing.”

Lodis moderated the discussion as if nothing had happened. They all exchanged opinions on this and that, and eventually narrowed it down to five names. The only reason for including Carol’s was to keep her quiet, though.

“How about we let the G.o.d of Fate choose one of these?”

But I wanted the villagers to decide, so I went ahead with the voting system by oracle, and here we are. As for the results of the voting……I don’t actually know.

Lodis was tallying the votes on behalf of the villagers, but I consciously avoided looking into it, so I’m looking forward to the results.

“Now, I will announce the results of the poll. The one with the most votes is—“

Carol’s eyes light up and she’s expecting something, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.

“It is the Village of Destiny!”

Hearing this, the villagers gave a big smile and clapped in unison.

“Not surprisingly………..this was decided from the beginning?”

It’s hard to believe that the name of the village happened to be the same as the t.i.tle of the game. So, maybe it was a foregone conclusion. As for me, I have no complaints. It’s better if it’s the same as the game.

The only villager present who seemed to be unhappy was Carol. It’s cute to see her puff out her cheeks, though.

The name of the village was decided without delay, and the other villagers were notified. The Hunter’s Guild branch was also informed, so “Village of Destiny” became the official name.

This means that all my problems are solved for now. There are still three weeks left before the end of the month, so there is plenty of time to prepare for the [Temptation of the Evil G.o.d].

In the first place, the number of combatants has increased with the addition of Dark Elves and Elves, and more than a dozen hunters are always present, so there is little to worry about in terms of combat.

I’m planning to ask the guild to help me with a quest during 《Temptation of the Evil G.o.d》, so I can expect the help of a certain number of hunters. Furthermore, since I’m building the village together with Makoto, we have the advantage of having two players.

“But I can’t be too careful. Every time, there’s an unexpected accident.”

Real life attacks, attacks in the other world and the difference in funding.

I’ve got a lot of points to activate the miracle now. In the beginning, there were five villagers, but now there are more than a hundred. Even without paying, the amount of points that increase every day is different. With such a large number of people, it is possible to trigger a little weather control every day without any problem. Of course, I refrain from wasting points.

“I understand that it will be easier if there are more people, but I don’t want there to be more.”

When I first started the game, I had ambitions to make a big city, but now I honestly don’t think so. I’ve come to think that as long as the villagers living there are happy, that’s all that matters.

Increasing the population will make the town more convenient and give me more things to do, and then the game may become more interesting. But for me, villagers are not characters in a game.

The old members in particular are like family to me. It may be wrong to give priority to people, but I will act with the villagers in mind first. That’s the one thing I will never change. Speaking of the village, the thing I’m most concerned about is that thing.

After overcoming the battle with President Chosokabe, the village’s level has risen to 4, which means that the number of miracles has increased even more, and another big addition has been added. That was the “territory” category.

When I clicked on the “Territory” command, which had been added at the same time as the level up, this explanation was displayed.

[Territory: Forbidden Forest]

[The location of monsters, humans, and animals in the entire Forbidden Forest will be displayed on the map. Once you have conquered all the points of interest in your territory, you will be able to see and hear the entire Forbidden Forest.]

When I checked the map, I saw that unlike before, red and blue dots were displayed everywhere on the map.

If I zoom in on the red dots, I can see monsters. Blue dots are humans and subhumans. Yellow dots are animals.

It would be quite helpful if other areas that are still uncharted could be shown as dots if they are within the Forbidden Forest. In addition to that, once the player has conquered all the strategy points in the territory, the player will be able to see and hear the entire Forbidden Forest.

Until now, it has been possible to overhear conversations within a certain range centered on the Bible, but if that range is extended to the entire Forbidden Forest, the enemy’s strategy will become transparent.

“I’ll have to go for it.”

The only condition was that I had to “conquer all the capture points in the territory.”

These points refer to the newly displayed locations on the map, and there were three marked areas that were still undeveloped and dark. All of them are located in the northern part of the Forbidden Forest, a dangerous place where even elves and dark elves can’t get close.

I wanted to fulfill the requirements, but I didn’t want to put the villagers in danger. So I used the Hunter’s Guild to request a quest to explore the area and have a hunter check it out. I told them that it was dangerous and set a higher fee.

“‘I guess I’ am waiting for the results of this or use a miracle.”

One of the miracle items is “A great hunter is coming”. If I use this to get him to accept a request, I have a naive expectation that he will conquer at least one of the strategy points. That’s the sweet expectation of……

Well, the points for that miracle are extremely high, so I can’t just casually activate it. Either way, I should work steadily this month and see how it goes. I’m also busy with real life, so I might as well try out some things after I’m able to work and play games smoothly with Makoto.

My brain was tired from thinking so much, so I left the computer and lay down. I checked my watch and found that more time had pa.s.sed than I expected. I must have been concentrating too hard on my thoughts. There seemed to be an incoming call on my phone, but I’ll deal with it after I get some sleep.
