Chapter 50: A little break
So, where were we?
Oh right, the living areas.
The clearing where we are currently located is about 2 football field, meaning? Lot's of space, like a lot, alot.
I asked the Imps to make a map around the place and they'll be back by afternoon at most, those little guys have magic anyway and side's they can fly, so it'll be fine.
Bringing me back from my thoughts is Titan, the armor poking me with it's fingers and pointing forward.
I followed where it pointed and saw that the males and females of various races seem to have reconciled and was looking at me.
"What?" I asked, why're they looking?
"Thanks, for planning to take us in, I mean" The leader said.
"Why wouldn't I? Now that I know you're the wives of my tribesmen, I think it's normal. 'sides, it's also cuz of the favor anyway!" I said with a grin on my face.
The ogre leader was stunned, clearly wasn't expecting that.
"Heh, you're a pretty nice fella, shrewd but nice." She said as she looked at the woman in front of her.
"Nevermind that, let's talk about the armor. Did you bring it?" I asked, I know for a fact, I'm not kind, but whatever.
"Uh-, you're seriously still asking about that?" The kobold lady now looked at me, Tink, whom she was looking before, looking my way as if I saved him from a dragon or something.
"Yeah, so?" I asked with a brow raised.
"Haa... It's on the bag. Look for yourself." She said pointing to a large bag that the ogres were carrying before.
I went forward towards the bag and looked at the contents inside.
[System Alert!
You can now inspect the things around you, but only the things you know about will show up, so there may be hidden effects in it! There will be some tips to unknown objects, as for what to use it for, but it will be in the form of a riddle! ]
Urg! Another riddle?! Why can't you just say it to me straight like those Mc's in novels?!
[System response:
Because your not the main character. Why would we give a nobody special previleges? Did you think you were the only one with a system in this world? ]
(•∆•!), I'm not?!
[System response:
No. Stop being narcisistic and start building and strengthening your village! ]
Why do I feel like the system is so cruel now? Back then it used to be so 'nice'
(╥﹏╥)
"Boss? You okay there?" Gorn asked, now standing on his own two feet but still holding his wife like a puppy afraid of being abandoned by it's owner.
"Huh? Oh, I'm just looking at the armors, they're pretty good!" I'm not lying I mean look at this:

Very good armor, can go for a great price if sold! ]
That's the three types of armor there is right now, it's not a lot but once we get more materials we can ask them to make more!
Hm? By the way...
"Did you add something to it?" I ask the kobold lady, the system said that only things that the host, me, know can be shown, and I don't think it would be deemed by the system as (Rare!) for no reason.
"Huh? Yeah, how'd you know? I learned a new skill when I evolved a few months after this guy left! The skill I learned allows me to be able to infuse boons into the things I make. That's also why I became a blacksmith! Blacksmith's are pretty respected. And paid very well, so I thought it would be great to be one...but sadly, no one wanted to buy my creations because I'm a monster..." The kobold lady said, at first hitting Tink when she said "this guy" but then slowly showing a sad look in her eyes and a self deprecating smile on her face.
Tink, noticing that quickly annoyed her and said "Yeah, I am better than you at inventing AND selling stuff. You used to always hurt yourself or make ugly inventions whenever you came by my house back then!"
It seemed to have worked cuz now the kobold lady is angry at him
"Is that so? Since you're so great, why don't we pluck out your brain and see your genius-ity? Hm?" The kobold lady said, now gripping a sword on her hand, with a smile on her face although no smile could be seen in her eyes!
"Eep!" Tink said before running away from her, which the kobold lady expected as she also ran after him.
Leaving the two lovebirds, I look towards the armors and then quickly towards the leader and asked
Why? I mean looked at this shit!

"Isn't this more than we agreed on?" It really is a lot, it's a lot more than what I gave them, both in quantity and quality! There's even a skill! (•o•!)
"Well, there were some scraps and we did give you a pretty hard mission so we figured to give you some more!" She said with a smile, Scarface, who was now, again, held by her in the neck, looked at his wife like he just fell for the most beautiful goddess in the wholr universe.
Which, fair, to him she's probably the prettiest anyway.
I looked around again and saw that most of the villagers are now paired up, even Grumpy is now talking with a red face to a female ogre, damn, goodluck with your crush Grumpy! O(≧∇≦)O
I wonder if I'm gonna have something like this too? In this world I mean, maybe I'd have some kids too? I do have *that* and it might actually can, so maybe?
Well, I'll leave that for the future, now, my mission will be to assign the houses! And fortify the village more!
I didn't notice back then that the answer for that question was closer to me than I realize...
