One month has passed. Rika and I have gotten used to living in this different world. Let's summarize what I've developed so far.
First, the tools I've modified such as air rifles, machetes, and carpentry tools.
Next, for food needs, I have produced apples, mangoes, bananas, peaches and several other fruits. For spices, there are also herbs and rhizomes such as ginger, turmeric and several other spices. For drinks, there is already tea, coffee and chocolate. As for sugar, I have prepared it from sugar cane and salt has been secured from modifying rocks.
Then, there are a few things that I don't need to recharge, namely electricity, internet, water, and gas. Everything is available in my house so this really makes me feel comfortable.
One thing I can't confirm yet is the information I received from Amelia and Rudy. They were contacted again by the police to come to my old home site. There, as I suspected, was already a camp of researchers.
They told Amelia and Rudy that the trees growing in the old location of my house could not be cut with sensors or even demolished with heavy equipment. Unfortunately, this information came too late as I had already modified all the tools in the house.
This made it impossible for me to confirm what they said. In addition to the researcher problem. There is also an otherworldly problem that has become a worldwide boom. This is because Amelia told everyone through the interview session after the event. She begged people around the world if they had a way to get to the other world to let her know.
She also shared the video I sent where there was a horned rabbit corpse, a chicken monster and Blacky in it. Many accused it of being CGI but not a few believed it was the truth.
There was also Rika's significant development. I didn't even believe these results before until Amelia actually tested them. Rika's intelligence is now like the standard intelligence of a 7 to 8 year old child or around the third grade of elementary school.
Amelia, who had been sad thinking about many things regarding Rika, could now smile even a little. I was also happy with this seemingly impossible development. Rika and I still kept the matter of the hunt a secret. Don't add oil to the fire.
As for Rika, she's getting used to hunting but I don't allow her to play too far until she disappears from my sight. I allowed it because Blacky now seems to be getting stronger. I don't know how it can be like that but I can only guess that it's because of the food we consume. All the food right now is a modification of my creation skill.
Blacky's body is now as big as a Siberian Tiger. The ridiculous thing is that Rika often rides Blacky like a horse. If Amelia finds out about this, I'm sure she'll beat me up. The Rika she wanted was the graceful Rika but look at her now.
"....."
I was speechless looking at this happy Rika. Well, at least Rika grew up healthy.
This is the only excuse I can use. By the way, my gold mine is finished and I've mined it. Everything went easy with my skills however,
(What use is this gold?)
That's right, the gold I mined has no use at all. It's worth no more than the new salt I made.

The next day, the morning sun began to shine on my house from the far horizon. It was a bright morning with fresh air.
I woke up feeling refreshed all over.
"Alright, let's do our usual activities"
I said that and got ready to start making breakfast. Now, I didn't have to wake Rika up because Blacky would always wake Rika up every morning.
While I was cooking and Rika was washing her face, Blacky suddenly came out of the house and roared. I, who was surprised, immediately ran outside.
"BLACKY!!! WHAT'S UP?!!!"
I opened the door and found many people gathered in front of my yard. Blacky was growling angrily at them.
"Shit, how can there be a Dire wolf here?!!!!"
"Is this a dungeon?!!!"
Two bodyguards were gathered in front of an old man. Behind the old man, there were quite a few people holding weapons. It seemed that they were protecting the colony behind them.
Why did I say colony? Because there were about 100 to 200 of them. After all, they have a slightly different appearance to me. Their ears were longer.
"E-Elf?"
I accidentally said that and the old man was surprised. Actually, it wasn't just him but me too. What made us both surprised was that we could understand each other's language.
"Ma-My Lord over there, can we have a discussion?"
The old grandfather immediately shouted from his place. Seeing his tattered condition, I felt a little pity and approached him.
I petted Blacky and told him to back off a little. After all, I would still be safe because they wouldn't be able to enter or attack into my home area due to the rude-eye barrier.
"Grandpa, what do you want to talk about. Also, isn't this very rude?"
I said that because as soon as I approached, their men immediately raised their weapons. My expression that had been compassionate now became very cold. The grandfather who saw his men immediately had them lower their weapons and bowed while apologizing to me.
'I'm sorry, sir .... They were just too cautious."
I didn't say anything and just wanted to jump right into the conversation. However, just as the grandfather and I were about to enter the conversation, Rika suddenly spoke from behind.
"Uncle, what's going on?"
As she said so, she saw the many people gathered in front of their house. Rika immediately came to me and hugged me. It seemed like she was a little wary?
Apparently not!!!
It seems like she was just observing the back where there were many children. Is she curious about them?
While thinking that, the grandfather started talking.
"My Lord, I beg you!!! Can we settle around your place?"
I was dumbfounded listening to this elf grandfather's sudden request. Settle around here?
