The sun shone brilliantly and the water in the river glittered invitingly. Karl who was in the dam was frustrated, he was having a hard time dealing with it.
K: "arghh!! i need tools but where do i get one *sigh* how can i even rebuild this without any equipment, material plus i need a helper"
Karl gritted his teeth and clenched his hands in fist as if he wants to punch something. He was so stupid as to why would he repair a dam without preparing. The Guide suddenly pops out in the air infront of me, i was confused. I didn't remember calling him and how did he suddenly pops out of nowhere, Karl thought in his mind. The Guide soon began to speak and said.
The Guide:
[ Karl I Suggest That You Open Your Space Inventory ]
K: "and why would i do that?"
The Guide:
[ Just Do It Nothing Will Happen If You Try ]
K: "woah? it's my first time hearing you talk to me like that"
K: "anyway what's in there?"
The Guide:
[ Cannot Provide More Information ]
Wierd, Guide's personality quickly changes from straightforward to a serious system. I did what the Guide's suggested. I use my Space Inventory ability, then i startled the moment a spiral hole emerges floating in front of me. It was similar to a black hole but this space inventory of mine was color blue instead of black, i was astounded.
Karl inserted his right hand inside into the spiral hole to check what was in there, after that he suddenly felt something, it was soft? no, squishy? he lifted his eyebrow in confusion. At first, it was small that it would only fit his hands however after he asked the Guide if he can enlarge the space inventory, he somehow was able to enlarge it after the Guide told him. Sooner, he put his head inside slowly, and there he saw nothing.
His face went blank and his mouth fell open as he witness darkness inside the space inventory, it's as if he was in the outer space. Similar to the God of Creation's dimension, it was strange. After he sees the inside of the space inventory, he suddenly can't breathe, it was like his nose was clogged with something. So he immediately pulls his head outside in order to breathe. However, there's one thing that he keeps himself wondering about the squishy and soft thing.
He again put his right arm. The moment he insert it, he feel as if there was something on it, it was like a sand. Soon he put both of his arms and this time it became heavy as he was pulling it out. Karl pulls the heavy thing out with all of his strength. There was nobody that he could ask for help so he did it all by himself.
The moment he pulled out the heavy thing inside. Karl fell down to the ground bumping his butt after pulling it outside he said "ouch" after he fell down. Karl saw a cement after getting up. A cement that came out from the space inventory.
He then repeated the same process pulling different materials from his world. He plans to ask The Guide why did many stuff from his world appeared in the space inventory. But Karl has no time to ask, he doesn't have any chance either. He won't even answer if i tell him, Karl thought. It took him minutes pulling out, after that, he then starts working on rebuilding the dam, it was tiring.
K: "this might take a few days haha"
While he was busy working, Karl suddenly heard a voice shouting at his back, it was mister Fritz, Karl was glad and decided to ask mister Fritz for help to finish the dam early. Karl immediately turn around to him and they began talking exchanging words.

After shouting at the messy crowd in front of him, the crowd suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere inside the Town Hall changed into gloomy and intense as they stare at the Village Chief.
----------------------------
~ Outside the Townhall ~
Helene was sitting on the ground worried. She didn't see her son at the center of Townhall. She tried to find her around their area with the help of mister Fritz, Marlene, and Heinrich but they couldn't find him. Helene felt that it was her fault after scolding her son earlier at her house. She couldn't control her anger because she was just worried for him. After all, he's just a 10-year-old boy.
He: "๐ถ๐ฉ....๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏ'๐ต ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ณ๐บ ๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ด ๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ, ๐ช'๐ฎ ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ญ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ญ๐ณ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต, ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐ป ๐ช๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฎ ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ๐ธ๐ข๐บ"

~ 6 hours later ~
Karl, Fritz, and Marlene who arrived late, already finished rebuilding the dam, with the help of the dam they can now block the rivers, preventing floods and regulating the water level. Afterward, they decided to come back to the farmland to clean and cut the withered crops.
Karl taught them about crop rotation. While listening to him, Fritz and Marlene's eyes went round. They were amazed and uncertain that it will work. How did a 10-year-old kid have this kind of strange idea, he thought.
After explaining, Karl was able to convince them to trust him. They began cultivating the farmland by putting the seed in different directions with the use of crop rotation that they learned from Karl. The work went smoothly but they didn't finish it as soon as when sunset's few thin strips of clouds on the horizon turned into a shimmering gold.
K: "๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ธ....๐ช๐ต'๐ด ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ"

F: "๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฎ, ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ด๐ข๐บ ๐ด๐ฐ"
Fritz forgot that he was supposed to bring Karl back to her mother.
F: "๐๐ฆ๐บ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ! ๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ฑ ๐ช๐ต ๐ข๐ญ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐บ, ๐ธ๐ฆ'๐ญ๐ญ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ธ"
Fritz shouted at his wife, ensuring that she could hear him at this distance.
M: "๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ข๐ข๐ข๐บ๐บ!!"
F: "*๐ด๐ช๐จ๐ฉ* ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฐ ๐ด๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฉ๐ข๐ฉ๐ข"
M: "๐ช ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ!!"
After they cleaned the surroundings, two men scouting the village notice how organized the crops were and the cleanliness. After touring around, they spotted unknown people from the mill, they quickly ran towards at them to peek. Karl sensed that they were being watched, he immediately told Fritz about it and said.
K: "๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐ป, ๐ช ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ'๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ"

As soon as when Karl was about to finish what he was going to say, without a second thought, Fritz walk at them without a hesitation where Karl pointed.
K: "๐ฉ-๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ! ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ค๐ณ๐ข๐ป๐บ!?"
Karl readied his blade to attack if mister Fritz got troubled. As soon as when mister Fritz got closer to the entrance, the two men suddenly recognized his face.
??: "๐ช๐ด๐ฏ'๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐ป? ๐ช ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ข๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฏ๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ"

??: "๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต'๐ด ๐จ๐ฐ ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ข๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฎ"
As soon as they were closer, the two men recognized his face clearly, it was mister Fritz. The two felt relieved after knowing it was just mister Fritz, they thought that it was someone else. The two ran to him afterward they began talking, the two men said to him.
??: "๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ, ๐ช๐ต ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ต ๐ช๐ด ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐ป"
F: "๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ, ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ? ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฏ'๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ข๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ?"

The three then began talking, Karl let out a sigh of relief after knowing that mister Fritz was alright. Soon after Karl noticed that those two men are from the village, he then join the conversation and started explaining to them what happened here.
Fritz denied that this wasn't his idea, he then point towards Karl and said that he was the responsible for this. The two of them couldn't believe what were they saying, it was absurd. How can even a 10-year-old have strange ideas? how can he possess such knowledge? they thought.
Afterward, they visited the dam and Marlene was late again. They were amazed as to how clean, new and odd the dam is. The two men ask again who did this, Fritz and Marlene explained that this was all Karl's doing, and by any chance, they were just helping him.
without hesitating, Karl explains to them, what are these new designs, and how they will function. Karl also explain to them and tell both of them that he will teach the crop rotation to all the residents in the Isruhr village so that they can work easier and can harvest better
The two men glance coldly at Karl. Still, they couldn't believe it, a kid? could do this all by himself, is he a genius? wait come to think of it he was the son of Albert Albrecht from the Lord of Bรผrwagen, they thought.
The two guards bowed at them, they couldn't thank them enough, a situation that they couldn't unravel, and yet here they are, they easily worked it out, the trouble that they were facing. Although the seeds aren't finished yet planting, that's all enough that they could do.
If they didn't rebuild the dam earlier, they're afraid that the dam might collapse. It's too old for the dam to hold in especially it has so many molds that are coating. They weren't prepared to rebuild it and it will take them weeks. About the crops rotating idea or whatsoever, they didn't show much attention to it. They still haven't believed any single word from Karl and Fritz. It was ridiculous and how can they even be so sure? so they decided that they will listen, help, and observe it for months.
After the occurrences that happen, they both agreed that they will report the finished dam and the crop rotation to the Village Chief. At last, all of them went home, and miss Marlene was late again.
~ Meanwhile Fritz while walking his way to home thinking something ~
F: "๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฎ ๐ช ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ช ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐จ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฎ...๐ข๐ฉ!! ๐บ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐บ"
Fritz suddenly realize that it was not his money. It was his beloved wife who has trouble walking on her own, he said.
F: "๐ธ๐ข๐ช๐ต....๐ด๐ฉ*๐ต ๐ช ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐จ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ, ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐จ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐บ!!!"
