Preamble. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ladies and gentlemen, it has come to the end of the year, and I wish you all good health.

So, without further ado, this chapter will be the final chapter of the next year.

Happy Christmas Eve ――――――――――――――――

Carrots aren't just eaten by nibbling. You must know that as a person from the Celestial Empire, the attention to food is not comparable to the casual cuisine of those foreigners.

For example, there are countless ways to eat carrots.

For example, shredded carrots in scallion oil.

Me: "We don't have scallion oil, only silk ・・・・・・"

Another example is shredded carrots, shredded carrots and the like.

Me: "You can have these, but you can't add sugar to carrots." ”

There are so many carrot-related dishes that I can't count, and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to my Greater Chinese diet.

It's just that we have so few ingredients that we have that every time we find a new way to eat, Akai and I have to change the recipe.

It's almost a pitiful pleasure for me and Akai in this world.

What the? Fighting monsters, you say, isn't it fun? Did we have a lot of fun farming?

What are you kidding, with a stable life, who would want to risk their lives every day to fight baby zombies at night?!

What's more, it's not just baby zombies in the middle of the night.

On this Christmas night, Akai and I summarized what we had achieved in the past year, and looking at the long list written on paper, Akai and I felt inexplicably proud in our hearts.

From having nothing, to being self-reliant, to living a stable life today.

Except that there weren't many people to talk to, everything was settled with us.

Looking at our current attributes, our power has become so strong unconsciously.

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

As a level 12 magician, even if the zombie king is standing in front of me now, I can defeat it in a few minutes, and there is still no suspense. I'm no longer the weak chicken that struggles to fight a few little zombies, and the light of magic shines on my path.

Akai is no longer the childish boy who couldn't even hold a bow when he was just starting out (although we are still very young).

Compared to me, who exudes wisdom and rationality throughout the whole person, Akai has formed a strange aura in the long-lasting battle. Moving like a rabbit, quiet like an old turtle sitting still.

After a few months of being a hunter, Akai learned a lot of hunting skills, and now our meat is basically based on Akai and Xiaobai going out to hunt. Although there is no harvest in some cases, most of the time Akai is able to bring back some small prey, such as rabbits and other small animals.

Those few acres of land in the backyard may seem like a lot, but in my opinion, it is far from enough, and God knows what we will encounter in the future. But now our situation is so that I have the heart to farm and I can't afford to farm, after all, if the field expands, I and Akai alone can't take care of it.

Christmas Eve home.

"Whew, whew, although it's not the first time I've drunk it, it's still delicious, but it's missing a little salt." I held up the carrot and broth in my hand, put it to my mouth and blew on the hot air.

Akai holds a stick and stirs the broth in the iron bucket, which Akai made yesterday when he went out hunting a goat and brought it home.

Now the weather has cooled to the extent that we can feel it, which means that the temperature has plummeted.

The wall has been repaired day and night by me and Akai, and the perimeter has been sealed off, and the access is temporarily a ladder that we have erected.

But then Xiaobai won't be able to go out with us, so I'm trying to figure out how to build a door.

Ordinary doors will definitely not work, so there is no point in building walls. If you want to do it, you have to make a gate that resembles a city gate.

"I don't want to think about that, it's Christmas Eve tonight." I took a sip of the hot soup, felt the warmth spreading from my belly to my whole body, and looked out the window.

Outside the glass window, a layer of hoarfrost was attached at some point, which was the trace left by the sudden drop in temperature.

I reached out and wiped the moisture off the window. The dark night seemed to be covered with a layer of white in my vision.

Perhaps, when we get up tomorrow, it will be a snow-white world.

I turned my gaze back to the house.

Akai stopped stirring the stick and filled a bowl of broth with a few pieces of mutton.

[Oh, it's so fragrant.] Xiaobai wagged his tail, and his saliva almost flowed.

"Hey!" Akai put the bowl on the ground, and Xiaobai immediately surrounded him.

"Be careful, don't worry." I reminded Xiaobai not to be too anxious, but it was still a step too late, and Xiaobai, who was anxious about the broth, went up and licked it, and then ・・・・・・

[Ahh It's hot! Little white is rolling all over the ground.

"Hahaha, you're in such a hurry." I took a sip of soup and looked happily at the home we had built ourselves.

"Hmm." Akai stretched, "Anyway, it's almost winter, how should we spend winter?" ”

Akai asked a question that has been bothering us to this day, something we've been thinking about since the summer.

I put the bowl on the table -- the only furniture we can make now is a table and chairs.

With one hand on my chin, I sighed, "I don't know, is there anything to do in winter?" "If it's a cold day, it seems like you just want to stay at home and not go anywhere.

"・・・・・・ mining?" Akai suggested.

"Huh?" I glanced at Akai, "We don't seem to have enough ore reserves to dig yet, do we?" ”

That's right, we have so much ore in our chests that we can't use them up unless we turn them into armor and weapons.

But you know, it's nearly four figures of iron ore and thousands of coals!

Thousands of coals, not misread or heard. It's the result of a year of digging, and apart from the one we burned at the beginning, we have too much coal to use up in the boxes.

Because coal seems to have no other purpose than being able to burn fire, but when it comes to fire, we use charcoal instead!

When we returned from the King of the Jungle, Ardark and I went to see the oak grove that had been planted. Realizing that the oak forest had all grown, Akai and I went home and made some iron axes and cut down the trees.

These two days, we did not work at sunrise and rest at sunset. It's about starting to do things as soon as you feel like you're physically fit. It doesn't matter if it's in the morning or in the evening.

Because the wall is built at least two meters, ordinary monsters can't get in, Akai and I just stack the wall higher, and I can take off the heads of a few monsters with a fireball technique.

As for the cutting of trees, I have my fireball magic, so the progress of the cutting is quite fast.

Don't be so surprised, it's just an alternative to fireball, and burning the roots of the bushes for a while and then cutting them down can save a lot of time, at the cost that my magic often bottoms out.

As for our sheepfold・・・・・・

Allah, it's amazing that we still have a sheepfold.

Ahem, let's get down to business.

Although sheep are hardy creatures, Akai and I found time to build a roof for the sheepfold.

After all, it's not good if you have a natural disaster that happens in the winter, such as heavy snowfall.

It always feels so cold to hang on the ・・・・・・ of a snowstorm or something like that!

Anyway, we were very satisfied this year, with houses, fields, and land.

Although there is no car・・・・・・ does a sled count? How many more whites? Well, this kind of thing can only be imagined.

The most important thing is that we have the strength.

However, Akai and I were not carried away by the power, and the wisdom of the magician warned me all the time that there are too many monsters in this world that are more powerful than me, and they will continue to appear in the future. As for why I feel this way, I can't say.

Akai had seen the power of the King of the Jungle, and his originally somewhat smug thoughts were also restrained.

After a few hours of dinner time (you've had enough ・・・・・・ for dinner), Akai and I moved into the second-floor bedroom.

The attic on the third floor was still empty, and I didn't know what to put it in, and our bedroom was still on the second floor, the room I had carved out, and the rest of the window was where I usually studied magic.

It is also worth mentioning that I built a small balcony on the second floor, facing the place where the sun rises.

It was late at night, and Akai and I went to sleep one after another. (By the way, two separate beds.) ）

After Xiaobai turned around the house twice, he fell asleep on the mattress we made specially for Xiaobai.

Outside, the cold wind is gradually rising.

Inside the house, warmth cares for our sleeping faces.

auspicious and free, the house is safe.
