Chapter 10

The next morning, both my level and happiness had increased.

Seddie Dantes: Level 2

Points: 6

Happiness: 86%

Island Level: 2

It must have been because I got a good neighbor in Rururu, ate a full meal, washed my body with well water, and slept in a sturdy cottage with a lock.

My happiness had increased from 76% to 86%, and my points had recovered to 6.

My island level had also risen to 2.

Now I could level up various facilities and flora and fauna to the second stage.

I could probably upgrade this cottage to the next stage now.

However, it would require a corresponding number of points, so I couldn't use them lightly.

Yesterday's dinner was delicious because I used fresh fish.

I grilled the horse mackerel, made carpaccio with the sea bass, and made a soup with lily root.

I wanted to make more, but I didn't have enough ingredients or seasonings.

The kitchen only had salt, olive oil, and vinegar.

With such limited ingredients, my cooking options were limited.

I should go to the town of Rubon today to buy more ingredients.

Rururu was very surprised when I cooked.

"You're better at cooking than I am. Is it common for young men these days to cook?"

I don't think it's common.

That's just something the third son of a noble family liked to do in his previous life, watching cooking channels.

Still, I can only make simple dishes.

My memories from my previous life are still not very clear.

I finished the leftover soup from the previous day for breakfast and went outside.

I had something I wanted to do in the morning.

Since I had 6 points, I decided to create a vegetable garden in front of my house.

Available: Vegetable Garden

Description: Try growing crops.

Required Points: 3

Note: Creating a garden will give you a tool shed and turnip seeds.

I immediately used the points, and a vegetable garden appeared.

The size... it's about sixteen tatami mats!

Since coming to this island, my memories as a Japanese person have been gradually returning.

I'm even remembering units of measurement.

I might remember more about myself soon.

The garden was ready, but there were many stones and dead branches scattered around.

If you don't clear these away, the crops won't grow.

This is similar to Island Tukuru.

I moved the stones and wood to the side, pulled out the weeds, tilled the soil, and planted the turnip seeds.

I didn't forget to water them with a watering can.

Still, don't you think there are a lot of turnip seeds in slow-life games?

I wonder why?

This Gandalcia is an ultra-fast cultivation.

If you plant the seeds and water them, they should be ready to harvest in about three days.

I'm sure I'll be able to eat delicious turnips soon.

They're good pickled in vinegar or added to fish soup.

I'll need a jar to pickle them.

Okay, I'll go to the town of Rubon today to do some shopping.

Since I'm going to Rubon, I decided to invite Rururu.

She said she wanted to sell fish, so it would be perfect.

I went down the path behind the cottage towards the beach and saw Rururu's fisherman's hut.

From above, I could see its red roof.

I couldn't see anyone around, but her boat was tied to the pier.

Rururu must be at home.

"Good morning, Rururu. Do you want to go to the village with me?"

I knocked on the door, but there was no answer.

Maybe she went to the village alone?

That would be fine, but I hope the debt collector from yesterday didn't come back and take her away.

While I was worrying, a figure appeared from the sea.

"The ghost of Elrene?!"

"No, it's me, Rururu."

Rururu smiled, revealing her white teeth as she pushed her wet hair out of her face.

"Ah, I was scared. I thought you were the ghost of Elrene because you came out of the sea."

"Hehe, did you think I was going to drag you into the sea, Seddie?"

Rururu was in a good mood.

Maybe she was happy because the ghost of Elrene is rumored to be beautiful.

"What were you doing in the sea?"

"I was free diving. Gandalcia Island is amazing. There are so many valuable abalones and large shrimp."

Rururu looked a bit tired but also satisfied.

"Look at this."

The bucket she proudly held out was full of large abalones and large shrimp.

"Wow, a big catch!"

"Of course, I'll share some with you, Seddie. Not just today, but every day. It might not be enough to repay you, but..."

Rururu's eyes were serious.

"You don't have to worry so much. As I explained, my power activates through interactions with various people. Building this pier and fisherman's hut was also thanks to Rururu."

"Still, I want to do something for Seddie."

"Thank you. I'll gratefully eat them."

Thanks to Rururu, I don't have to worry about today's meal.

"By the way, did you need something? I was going to sell my catch now."

"I'm going to Rubon too, so I came to invite you. Let's go together."

To preserve them, I put the abalones and shrimp in a net and submerged it in the sea.

I really want a refrigerator in the kitchen, but it costs 2 points.

I don't know when I might need points, so it's better not to be extravagant.

Maybe I'll buy one when I have about 15 points.

A refrigerator is a valuable magical item that uses ice-cold magic.

I think it would cost about 1 million crowns.

It's amazing that you can get it with points.

If I could export the refrigerator I get with points to outside the island, it would be a huge profit, but that's impossible.

It would disappear as soon as it left the island.

According to the rules of Island Tukuru, items obtained with points cannot be taken outside the island.

Otherwise, I could have become a millionaire.
