Lilith: "Who's this?"
"A person who will help our kingdom grow. She's from my world, one of the people who created the places we lived."
Lilith: "I didn't know she was a woman."
"Now you know. Is her being a woman a problem? I don't know about this world, but in my world, women can work and vote too. I didn't realize you were so backward."
Aiden and Malik were watching from a distance:
Aiden: "I think the problem isn't Lilith being backward. When will this fool understand?"
Malik spoke with his mouth full.
Malik: "Understand what?"
Aiden: "Ah right, I forgot I'm friends with a pair of virgins…"
Malik: "Says the guy who makes all the girls run away as soon as they get close?"
Aiden: "Finish chewing and then talk, you big bear!"
Meanwhile, Daichi said;
"We should go and greet our friend."
Together with Lilith, we went towards the entrance of the Monster Kingdom. Upon arriving, I saw the goblins had captured and tied up Lisa.
Lisa: "Coming here was really a mistake…"
"Hey, untie her. She's our valuable guest."
Goblins:
"Guest?"
"Guest! Valuable!"
The goblins untied Lisa.
Lisa: "I thought you were joking when you said it was a kingdom of monsters, but seeing it with my own eyes is really surprising."
"Didn't I tell you? Would you like to come in and have a look around?"
Lisa: "Why not, let's see what you've done. Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?"
"Ah yes, almost forgot. Lisa, Lilith. Lilith, Lisa. Lilith handles all the operations here and is very powerful, also very important to me."
Lisa looked at her own breasts and then at Lilith's, which were significantly larger than hers.
Lisa: "Yes, I can see that…"
Lilith: "So how did you two meet?"
Lisa: "We met at the place we were sent to and fought together. After everything was over, he asked me to visit him."
"Yes, because I want to exploit your- I mean, utilize your architectural skills!"
Lisa: "You said slave, didn't you?"
Lilith: "Yes, he definitely said slave."
"Anyway!"
Lisa: "DON'T JUST SAY ANYWAY, YOU DAMN GUY!"
"Okay, okay, listen to me. What do you think about the current situation? Do you think we can do something with your knowledge?"
After carefully observing her surroundings, Lisa began to comment.
Lisa: "All the walls are made of wood, so are the watchtowers, and the food in the storage will not last long without cooling spells. Also, the places where people live are just tents made of a few pieces of cloth, the water line you created for the fields looks very fragile, it could flood everything with any overflow. You're lucky to have survived this long, and is that thing at the end of the water canal a toilet?"
"Well, you know, old world habits…"
Lisa: "If you ask me, we need to renew everything, but given the lack of technology in this world, compensating with magic and slaves, and the fact that producing modern construction materials from our world is nearly impossible, meaning everything has to be done with manual labor, magic, and manpower, it could take years."
"Don't worry about the mining; we have a metal that can replace iron in our world and is much more durable, and we have tons of it. As for the lack of technology... what kind of thing are you referring to?"
Lisa: "Well, assuming we can manage materials like iron, sand, stone, soil, etc., we'll still need concrete mixers, high-tech workbenches to cut through the mines, and a bunch of industrial machines and tools."
"Is that so? Then... [Mechanism]!"
With my Mechanism ability, I created a concrete mixer.
"Will this do?"
Lisa: "How did you do that? No, I promised myself I wouldn't be surprised. The question I should be asking is, can you meet all our needs and how many of these can you make?"
"I've never tried making more than one at a time before, but I think if I dedicate all my mana to it for a day, I can create two machines at the same time, and as long as the thing I'm making has any mechanics to it, I can create anything."
Lisa: "Only two, huh? Still, this would speed things up considerably."
"I'll be here for a few months, and then I need to go to the elf kingdom for a while."
Lisa: "Elf kingdom? I'm coming too!"
"You? You need to stay here and get things done."
Lisa: "After all this work and I'm not getting paid, and without you, the machines won't be here, so it'd be useless for me to stay. So, I'm coming with you and SEE THOSE HANDSOME ELVES!"
"Handsome elves?"
Lisa: "Everyone who reads fantasy novels knows that elves are known for their extreme beauty and nobility."
Aiden and Malik came over to us.
"I'm not so sure about their nobility."
Aiden: "Yeah, last time we cut off an elf's arm and then his leader decapitated him."
Malik: "Yes, buddy, that was totally crazy!"
Lisa: "Did you guys decapitate an elf? And now you're going to help them?"
Lilith: "Are you sure this is a good idea? They might try to take revenge on you."
"I don't think they have that option, if what they say about their queen is true, they must need me."
Lisa: "Queen?"
Aiden: "The queen of the elves is a pervert who peeks at Daichi in his dreams."
Malik: "Yeah, I heard she even watches him in the bathroom."
"Hey guys, don't talk nonsense."
Lilith seemed irritated.
Lilith: "Queen? Why do I feel like the number of women around him is constantly increasing? You're not scheming something behind my back, are you?"
"H-Hey, they're just messing around, right guys?"
Lisa: "I should have realized you were such a pervert, maybe you pretended to faint just to lie in my lap!"
Lilith: "Lie in her lap?"
Aiden: "Pervert, pervert, Daichi is a pervert!"
"Wait, I can explain everything!"
Malik: "From what I've heard from the servants, you've also been spending a good time with the king's daughter, maybe this guy really is a pervert."
Aiden: "And weren't they quite close with the daughter of the Lirius family as well?"
"Guys!"
Lilith: "DAICHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
And at the end of this conversation, Lilith chased me all day long...
After showing Lisa around the entire Monster Kingdom, we started planning a city. We decided to build the whole city out of concrete reinforced with black stone mines, including the walls, watchtowers, houses, production areas, health and agricultural facilities, and even the roads. This way, we would have a city capable of withstanding powerful attacks, thankfully we had no problem with mines as there was a huge black stone mine underneath us. Torin and all his dwarf friends had come to the city and had already started mining operations.
Lisa: "Okay, you told me you wanted to open it up for trade, right? So, let's create a spacious square at the entrance of the city where merchants can trade with customers and make sure to open a lot of shops, so we can sell the tools, armors, clothes, fabrics, food and drinks, and all other products we produce here and immediately generate income. I've visited 4 cities so far and all of them use the same currency of gold, silver, and copper coins, so when we make our country accessible to everyone, our economy will automatically start working."
"That sounds logical, what about residential areas and production sites?"
Lisa: "For residential areas, we'll create streets in strips behind the trade area at the entrance and ensure people can live there, saving space by constructing multi-story buildings. We'll set up production sites behind the residential area, placing the living quarters between these two sections to keep people close to their workplaces and shopping areas. We'll also build wide main roads connecting the trade area, residential area, and production site so that cargo carts and people wanting to explore can easily navigate. Moreover, we can build inns on these wide roads for visitors from outside, and in the city square, we'll place a large space and important buildings."
"Important buildings?"
Lisa: "A city hall, security and military center, hospital, and even a guild building. This way, we'll see an increase in the number of adventurers coming to our city."
"Everything seems to be going well, but there's one more big problem, how will humans and monsters coexist?"
Lisa: "Actually, it's not that difficult. In one of the cities I visited, half-humans and humans lived together, and in some places, creatures considered monsters lived just like a normal person, although these monsters generally looked humanoid. However, we have goblins, lizardmen, trolls, a pair of wyverns, and more. Still, if we declare a peaceful policy like the other cities, I don't think we'll face much of a problem."
"I see, it might not be easy for people to get used to 'real' monsters. But they'll have no choice but to adapt, and considering the technology and resources we have here are far greater than in other cities, people will want to come here, they'll have to."
Lisa: "Exactly, with your ability, we can advance quickly in terms of food, production, and health and produce products from our own world here. I'm thinking of placing training areas near the city's left and right walls, so in case of an attack, the soldiers in training can quickly intervene."
"You've thought everything through pretty well, are you sure you're not more of a king than a architect?"
Lisa: "Thank you, but I don't think I can do it, being a king requires more than that; making radical decisions, risk management, aiming for continuous development and the welfare of your people, and most importantly, having charisma and trust. Considering all the monsters have accepted a human as their leader and work hard, you must have already gained their trust."
"Thank you, I didn't expect you to say such nice things."
Lisa: "Still, I'm not sure about the charisma part, I can't believe someone as stupid-looking and ugly as you could be a charismatic leader. Maybe we should dethrone you and put a goblin in your place instead."
"Dagger."
Dagger suddenly appeared beside me.
Dagger: "Yes, my lord!"
"Tie her up again."
Dagger: "As you command."
Lisa: "DAICHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
