Chereads / Isekai CitySkylines Alchemist / Chapter 3 - Craftsmanship With Little Elf

Chapter 3 - Craftsmanship With Little Elf

5 days until the Fire Elf army attacks.

Hiroshi returns home after demonstrating the power of electricity in the village.

Hiroshi: Here it is, it's the horse I bought the other day and the van.

Hiroshi creates a stable and puts the horse there.

Hiroshi: Good thing space isn't a problem in a medieval world, especially in the middle of nowhere.

Hiroshi: It looks like the problem is being resolved, there's a lot of grass around here. Eat the grass Freddy Racer.

The horse neighed loudly.

 I need to get some advice in order to buy horse feed.

How do I feed him? Better find a way to get some coins also. Hiroshi pondered.

Hiroshi enters his HQ.

Inside house, Hiroshi hears a noise coming from the attic.

Hiroshi: "A THIEF!!!" (Alert and ready.)

 Hiroshi's arm transforms into a metalic sword as he cautiously approaches.

Hiroshi's thought: "Gotta be careful...".

Hiroshi reaches for the light switch in the attic.

SFX: Click (Light turns on.)

A startled girl drops a basket of cookies, spilling milk from a jar she was about to carry.

Hiroshi's Mind: Hair as red as a tomato, it's that girl from the Thieves Carriage, how the hell did she get here?

Girl: "AAAAAAHHH!!!".

Hiroshi retracts his sword arm, trying to calm the situation.

Hiroshi: "Hello there, I don't intend to cause you any harm."

Hiroshi and the elf girl are sitting at a table.

Hiroshi: Must say something, — This an American-style kitchen. "Do you like this style? I redecorated, with ...."

Hiroshi's thought: "Maybe I should avoid talking about my abilities for now."

Hiroshi asks for her name.

Hiroshi: "Hello, what is your name?"

The elf girl mumbles her name.

Elf Girl: "Fiore..." (Very softly.)

Hiroshi is slightly puzzled, but understanding.

Hiroshi: "Hmm?? :|", I shoud build some trust in order for her to speak.

 Fiore chokes while eating; Hiroshi quickly gives the milk jar she tried to get from the attic and some cookies.

SFX: Gulp (Fiore drinking milk.)

Hiroshi tries to lighten the mood.

Hiroshi converts the small basket that containeed the cookies into a plastic ball and starts showing the little elf some tricks.

Hiroshi: And this is called football you can only use your feet , interesting dont?, You can also play with your hands like volley , look this trick with my finger this is basket.

The little elf followed what Hiroshi was doing with some attention.

Hiroshi: You can keep it with you.

Hiroshi's Mind: The little elf, in addition to not speaking, is still a uncomfortable. As she seems to be in good health, I would like to take her to her parents as soon as possible, they must be worried.

Eventually Hiroshi gives the ball to the little elf.

The excited little elf began to play with the ball a little.

Hiroshi: Again, what's your name?

The Little Elf: I'm Fiore.

Hiroshi: "Why were you in that carriage? How did you end up there?"

Hiroshi sits on the table preparing his sandwich with pork leftovers from the fridge.

Fiore recounts her story.

Fiore: "I was in an orphanage until I discovered I was part elf... Once I found about my magic power and my ears began to turn pointy I fled to protect the others of the rumours"

Fiore: Magic is very valuable, and a target for bandits, it is danger to be around me.

Fiore finishes her story, exhausted and fearful.

Hiroshi's Mind: Magic? This can be convenient when fighting the Elves.

Hiroshi: You can stay here as long as want but don't get close to the Garage, that door over there.

Fiore is in doubt but does not disapprove of the idea.

Hiroshi: "You're safe now." 

Hiroshi: Now!, talking about magic can you show it?

Hiroshi takes Fiore outside, asking her to attack him.

Hiroshi: "I need to gauge your strength.

Attack me with everything you've got."

Fiore hesitates, not wanting to hurt him.

Fiore: "But... you'll get hurt!"

Hiroshi reassures her, his arm turning into a sword again.

Hiroshi: "Don't worry, I can handle it."

Fiore reluctantly agrees and launches a fireball. SFX: Woosh (Fireball flying.)

Hiroshi blocks the attack, analyzing her power.

Hiroshi's thought: "Impressive... but I can take more."

Fiore now throws a whirlwind of fire at Hiroshi. Hiroshi blocks the attack by raising the ground in front of him, creating an efficient barrier. Fiore stops at that moment, the movement of the floor shaking causes her to stumble to the floor

Hiroshi: Enough for now.

Hiroshi stops the training as Fiore looks drained.

Hiroshi: Are you ok?

Fiore is panting, visibly tired.

Fiore: "Huff... Huff..."

 Hiroshi pats her on the head, showing approval.

Hiroshi: "Good job."

Hiroshi see small scratches on her,

Apparently there are still few injuries of the kidnap, but I wonder why she recovered that fast. Tought Him.

Hiroshi: Get some rest.

Hiroshi's Mind: I wonder why ain't I tired? It fell like I can walk to the moon and go beyond.

Hiroshi: Since I have this much energy, what if I just build my own farm, there is a lot of empty space behind my HQ.

Hiroshi: heads to the back of is HQ.

Whith the power of the CitySkylines Game Menu, Hiroshi evokes the farm main building and a Barn.

He then procedes to use the Farm version of the CitySkylines MAP in order to see the fertility of his terrain.

Hiroshi: Great, this yellow shades on the map indicates high fertility.

Hiroshi then creates 2 small farm fields in order to produce wheat and corn, 1 stove to plant other products, 1 chiken coop, 2 bonnyards to keep animals , and finally a Silo and a floor factory to make bread.

Hiroshi: Now lets make this work, wonder if there is an instruction to start with, as a Celestial I should be able to learn anything a perso can do at a vertiginous speed.

Hiroshi sees an instruction botton from the Farm Menu.

Hiroshi: I must plant the seeds first, That is the main difference from the game, As long a I program my farm the terrain will addapt to any crop I plant there. However I dont have the seeds to plant.

Hiroshi: I'm going to the city to see if they sell seeds from any crops, but first, I need to test one thing. Its time for an experiment.

Hiroshi: Fiore, can you help me collect stones of different sizes nearby until you fill this basket?

Fiore: Sure, why do you need that?

Hiroshi: I plan to make an experiment, in the meantime I'm going to the city.

Hiroshi's Mind: I need to collect coins somehow for this to work.

Hiroshi goes to the village.

Hiroshi: News everyone, today I offer the sale of a complete water installation in your homes for the price of 2 gold coins each one, come rigth up, come right up.

Villagers started commenting on the price and being discouraged.

Hiroshi: You will also have access to light bulbs.

Villagers: ??

Edwin - Village leader: Hiroshi, there is no such money in the village.

Hiroshi's plan seems to be going wrong. Hiroshi: 1 gold coin? Somebody?

Hiroshi: 2 Gold and 10 Silver coins for the entire village.

Village People's: Agreed.

Hiroshi raised the income and set up the Village's electrical and plumbing installations with the help of the Game Menu.

Villagers: Here it is as promised, it wasn't as much as we could come up with. But we can pay with hunting products next time.

Hiroshi's Mind: I got 1 gold and 5 silver, it's enough for the experiment, which I'm going to do.

Hiroshi: No problem, let it go, on the other hand, I want to learn how the hierarchy of money works in this country, how much each coin is worth.

Edwin: 30 silver is the equivalent of a good hunting season, it is the most normal salary in this village, 1 gold worths 100 silver, 1 silver worths 100 copper coins.

Hiroshi: In this bag there are lots of copper coins, I think I have one of each type, and an idea of ​​how Ylkia's financial system works.

Hiroshi's Mind: Are jewelry also valued? Hiroshi asks Edwin.

Hiroshi: Is there any value on jewelry in this country?

Edwin: Yes, the Bourgeoisie, the Nobles and Royalty appreciate Emeralds and specialy Diamonds.

Hiroshi's Mind: It's not much different from the gems found on earth.

Hiroshi: And magical jewelry.?

Edwin: These are the Kingdom's Army property, they all belong to the King, it is illegal to possess them without his decree.

Hiroshi returns to HQ when he finds the basket that Fiore filled with Stones.

Hiroshi: Experiment time.

Hiroshi goes to the attic where he summons a stone table.

Hiroshi: First I'll make sure to turn these stones into copper, silver, and gold.

The stones are transformed into gold, silver and copper.

Hiroshi: Now just use my power and the shape of the coins I collected and transform these stones into coins.

Hiroshi's Mind: Unlimited Money Cheat Achieved .

Fiore See only part of this experiment hidden behind a nearby wall.

Hiroshi: Now to diamonds, what do I do if I've never touched one?

Hiroshi: I'll leave that for later, no help appears in the Game Menu for now.

Hiroshi: Now how craft diamonds, Need to fell one in order for this to work, what do I do if I've never touched one?

Hiroshi: I'll leave that for later, no help appears in the Game Menu for now.

Hiroshi transforms the basket into a Wooden Chest and closes it with his finger in the shape of a Key.

Hiroshi: Mine Precious. After arranging the Treasure Hiroshi goes to the city where he tries to buy wheat seeds.

Villager: We don't have it, if you want you have to move the village which is 5 hours away from this location towards the West. Hiroshi: What a damn end of the world, time for another trip.

Hiroshi proceeds to deliver food to the captured Thieves.

Hiroshi: Try something funny.

Hiroshi transforms his arm into a threatening whip and grabs their legs with control over the floor. His power frightem them.

Thieves: Monster.

Hiroshi: Now I have to deliver Lady's food.

 Hiroshi: Hello hello.

Lady Thief: Tshh Hiroshi transforms the Thief's clothes into ropes that tighten the woman's mouth and body in an erotic and tortuous way.

Hiroshi: Bad Lady, sit.

Hiroshi's Mind: Her expression says death to the face of Him.

Lady Thief: Ughh.

Hiroshi: Your just making your rations shorter.

Hiroshi delivers the meal and transforms his clothes back into bandit clothes.

Hiroshi goes to the entrance room.

Hiroshi: Time to buy materials for the farm, can you help pick up them.

Fiore: Sure.

Hiroshi hurries.

Hiroshi: I have to use the van, I haven't had time to get used to the Horse yet, without experience I don't take passengers in this business.

Hiroshi and Fiore get into the van.

Fiore sat in the front. Fiore: Where are the horses?

Hiroshi: First time getting into a van with a gentleman you barely know?

Hiroshi's Mind: Said like that, it seems like something is wrong.

Fiore: Um!?

Fiore seems confused by the question.

Fiore's Mind: Does Hiroshi use his powers to make the car's wheels move?

Fiore's Mind:  I don't feel as much magic, unlike a Wizard's Broom. 

Fiore: Hiro... She spoke timidly in a tone that couldn't be heard over the wind.

Hiroshi: What it is it?

Fiore: Nothing.

Hiroshi's mind: I can take 5 hours on these roads without stones and asphalt or...

Hiroshi: If it's not a Roman Empire building the roads to Rome. I'll have to build it myself.

Fiore looks confused.

Fiore: Ronan Empire?

Hiroshi stops the van halfway and gets out of the car.

Fiore is perplexed and a little curious.

Hiroshi invokes the game menu.

Hiroshi's Mind: Road Options Game Menu. The ground began to transform completely, much to the Elf's surprise. A road to the desired path was made in 2 minutes.

Hiroshi's Mind: Roads Achieved.

Hiroshi and Fiore get back into the van and towards the path.

Hiroshi: Uhhhouuu, this is fast as a bullet. I own the road.

Hiroshi quickly reached F1 speed on the empty road, cutting travel time from 5 hours to 1:10 Hours.

Fiore for some reason didn't seem to mind this.

Hiroshi slows down the van as strange figure appears in the distance.

Old Villager: Hi , Its not common to find visits on those parts.

Hiroshi: Hi Im Hiroshi I live 5 hours from here, Im here to buy Horse Food, Croops and other things that may be for sale.

Old Villager: C'mmon In , go forward.

Old Villager showed a path to the market.

Hiroshi and Fiore walked to their destination so as not to attract too much attention.

Hiroshi's Mind: This village has many markets and many people trading, a market town.

Villager: Hello, Hero Alchemist?

Hirochi greets back.

Hiroshi's Mind: This guy is from the Hunter's Village.

Hiroshi managed to find the market he was looking for.

From the Market comes a loud shout, LILLIA, GO SERVE THE CUSTOMERS!!!

A charming and beautiful figure appears.

Lillia: Hello, how can I help you?

Hiroshi's Mind: I may have blushed a little, but I should get back to my normal attitude quickly. Hiroshi may have blushed a little, but he soon regains his normal attitude.

Hiroshi: It turns out that I'm here to buy several things first I need to feed my horse, it's quite useful to carry things without engine power

Lillia: Motto?! Lília seems confused by Hiroshi's words but remains polite.

Hiroshi: It doesn't matter.

Hiroshi: My name is Hiroshi, I'm here to buy some seeds, a list of foods which I'll describe in a moment, and clothes too.

Hiroshi ask if they can read wich both sister confirmed.

Hiroshi writes the list of products and gives them to the Sisters.

Hiroshi's Mind: Clothes, Hmm. I could also transform any material into clothing, but only into things that I can touch with my hands to feel the shape and texture and thus record it in my mind and replicate it as many times as I want.

Hiroshi: There's more effort to build things outside of the City Building Menu.

Hiroshi's Mind: Well, it's time to learn more about this world...

Lillia: CELIA, Edward!!! COME HELP ME SISTER, A figure resembling Lillia appears, as does a younger boy running up to Lillia for a hug.

Boy: Sister.

Lillia: Hiroshi, we'll call you as soon as your carriage is filled with your orders, you can also find clothes at that store across the road, that one.

Hiroshi pays 100 silver coins to the merchants and goes there.....

Hiroshi enters the modest store and orders ordinary clothes for men, women and even young people. He then analyzes them and tries to imagine a different color jacket than the one in the store.

Hiroshi: It might work well. He gets back in order to get his items after the store owner packed everything. As Hiroshi browses the clothing store, he notices an old, nailed mace hanging on the wall. Curious, he asks the store owner about it.

Hiroshi: "That's an odd decoration. What's the story behind it?" Store Owner: "When I was your age, I courted the village beauty. Her father used to chase me away with that very mace... but he left it to me in his will." The store owner laughs heartily.

Store Owner: "My daughters are growing up now. Maybe I should keep the tradition going, scare the boys!" Hiroshi: "Haha, poor them." Suddenly, two sisters burst into the room, hugging the store owner.

Cellia and Lillia: "Daddy!"

Hiroshi, feeling a little strange, quickly leaves the store in his new clothes.

Hiroshi (thinking): "I think I should get out of here before things get weirder…"

Hiroshis's Mind: Fiore seems to be playing with the other children in the village, and with Lillia's brother, but why is she hiding her ears? Do you like my daughter? A figure of a very attractive woman appeared from behind, who was probably the sister's mother due to her appearance.

Hiroshi: Well, she's pretty and...

Sisters' mother: hmm? You're already thinking about courting someone... Smurk.

Hiroshi: Yes, I understand, I'm not that kind of person.

She is teasing.

Hiroshi: Not that... Bye... He Rushes.

He heads to the Van waiting Fiore to get there.

After gathering their supplies, Fiore and Hiroshi say goodbye to the children and head back to HQ. Hiroshi returns to his HQ, reflecting on the day's events and preparing for the challenges to come.
