Chapter 17: It is recommended that you build a church

How are things, Donga-san? Is there anything not to your liking?

Hello, village chief. No, we have no complaints at all. How can we when on top of the delicious food, you also provide us with great shelter. Not to mention, we dont need to worry about all the fighting going on. This place is like paradise to us. All of us are truly grateful.

A few days had passed since Donga-sans group arrived.

They seemed to be pleased with their life here in the village, so I as the village chief was happy as well.

Yes, Donga-san and his group were our newest villagers.

There were 44 of them, bringing the total number of villagers to 97. Just a few short of a hundred.

I needed to prepare things for them first though, such as building new terrace houses.

Fortunately, we had an abundance of crops from our harvest, so our food supply shouldnt be an issue for a while. Just to be on the safe side in the future though, I decided to add 4 new fields.

Much like with Berith-sans group, majority of Donga-sans group were women and children. Even among the children, there were more women than men.

I had used Villager Appraisal on them, and designated each of them a job they could do. That said, there were only a few types of jobs available at the moment, so their current duties were likely not the one most suitable for them.

Also, I found out that there were 6 of them who had the potential to have Gifts. Much like before, they needed to receive a blessing first before they could use those Gifts, so it felt like wasting resources, which in turn made me felt frustrated.

Anyway, around the time when Donga-sans group were beginning to grow accustomed to their life in the village

Village Chief! Theres a group approaching the village. They look like refugees as well!

Another group had come. This time, there were 70 of them.

What will you do? I know you want to accept them, but that would put us over our current capacity

Yeah

Does that mean that my village doubles in size each level up? Huh? Then its possible for it to expand to an absurd degree, right? Hmm, yeah, yeah, no way thats gonna happen.

Leaving that aside, I checked out the new facilities I could build.

Store: 80

Workshop: 80

Public Lavatory: 80

Rehabilitation Facilities: 100

Church: 150

A store should be a building where a merchant can run their business. Meanwhile, a workshop should be a kind of atelier for craftsmen. Okay, but then what is a public lavatory? Also, a rehabilitation facility?

What I was most curious of all though was the church.

<<It is recommended that you build a church.>>

Almost insisting, the guide recommended so.

Even so, without a priest, there was no meaning in particularly having one. We could use the building for something else, but because it required 150 points to be built, there were far better alternatives.

Why do you recommend that?

<<If someone with the potential to receive [Oracle] prays in a church, its possible for the Gift to be received.>>

Huh? Wait, are you saying we dont have to go to another church?

<<Yes.>>
