Amazing Village Building

Chapter 207: How’s that for a character’s backstory?

I was having such a good sleep and yet you still woke me up. It was a lot of trouble preparing that seal, you know. I dont want to go through that again. So, you better make it up to me by provide for me until I die.

The woman demanded so.

As such, she has been living in my place since then, doing nothing but eating, sleeping and drinking alcohol day after day.

Gotta say though, life here has been quite amazing. Your alcohol and foods great. Plus, your beds so comfy. Looks like Ive been picked up by a fantastic pet owner.

Before drinking from her cup, Miranda imitated a dog and woofed.

For her to say pet owner, shes quite drunk, isnt sheI mean, she has to be, right?

But, ahmMiranda-san, when were you from?                                       

Who knows? I dont really know how much time has passed, so even if you ask me, I dont know what to tell you.

I see

Tell you what though, back then, I was actually revered as the sage of dusk. You know, because of the color of my hair.

Ohh.

I completely didnt expect that. But then again, considering the tremendous magic power she displayed after her seal was undone, I wouldnt doubt that she was indeed revered as a sage.

I did too good of a job though.

Why is she boasting all of a sudden?

I was too kind back then and did everything I could to be helpful to everyone. It reached the point where everyone relied on me for everything. It was already too late by the time I noticed what a mistake that wasI would work myself to death each day, and they just took my efforts for granted.

Miranda-san looked into the distance while recounting her past, her tone getting angrier and angrier.

Unsurprisingly, I eventually reached my limit. As soon as I stopped helping, everyone got so furious right away. It was ridiculous, I tell youI was being called a sage, but I was nothing but a fool all along. At least now I know better than to volunteer my services. I wish I had known that sooner though

As the village chief, I could somehow relate to her story.

At any rate, I stopped helping and ran away. Sadly, they persistently hunted me down. It was so annoying that I decided to seal myself in those ancient ruins. If I had my way, I would have stayed sleeping within that room deep underground forever.

Is that so

Apparently, those ruins were built way before Miranda-sans time.

hows that for a characters backstory?

A characters backstory!?

Playing the role of the straight man in a comedy, I shouted so.

Seeing me like that, Miranda-san cackled.

Gyahahahaha! You believed that? You really believed that!? Gyahahahaha!

This drunk

Well, sorry to inform you, but if you want to live in this village, you have to do some kind of work. No one is exempted from that. On the other hand, everyone who works are provided with things they might needlike a place to stayfor free. So, Miranda-san

zzzzzz

Are you sleeping!?

I grabbed hold of the pitcher nearby and splashed its water on her.

Gaaaa!?

The self-proclaimed sage thus opened her eyes, all confused.

*Cough**cough*! What the hell!? I didnt think it because you had such a cute face, but are you actually nuts or something!?

Sure, sure, anyway, ready to listen now? Okay. It doesnt matter what you do as work, what matters is that youre contributing something to the village.

I refuse! Id rather be a loafer who stays at some other persons house for free, drink for free, and eat for free! Everyday!

Are you sure about that? then, I have no other choice.

I grabbed her arm and then quickly used teleportation.

Our destination was a meadow that had nothing else in the vicinity.

Feel free to stay here.

Huh, hey, wait

I ignored her plea and returned to the village.
