The high-speed rail now crosses national borders.
Therefore, deciding which country should manage its operation is, in principle, a very difficult issue.
"If the village manages it, it was approved so easily... Is that really okay?"
"That just shows how much Lord Luke is trusted," Milia stated firmly.
As for the domestic railways, their operation would be entrusted to the governments of each country.
"But thanks to the high-speed rail, it’s now even easier for people to come here..."
"It’s a wonderful thing (the number of followers is steadily increasing. And soon, we plan to send out evangelists in groups of a thousand... hehehe...)."
"Milia?"
With the increasing population of villagers and visitors, there had recently been some food shortages.
The production from the fields had begun to lag behind.
"But, with this level-up, some very useful facilities have been unlocked."
〈Large-Scale Farm: A vast agricultural land. Dramatically increases crop growth speed and quality. Includes agricultural machinery.〉
That was the large-scale farm.
It required 5,000 points to build, but this should solve a good portion of the food shortages.
Moreover, among the facilities that became available was the Arena.
〈Arena: A facility for combat. Includes instant death prevention function. Features monster summoning function.〉
Previously, when we held a martial arts tournament in the village, we had to forcefully create one by customizing a training ground, but it seems that we won’t have to go through that hassle anymore.
That was a lot of work...
Honestly, since I didn’t have many good memories from that experience, I hadn’t used the old arena since then and had left it abandoned at the edge of the village. I decided to delete it and build the new arena.
"The demand for this has been there for a while. People want to see villagers fighting each other like before. We don't need to hold a large-scale tournament with all the village warriors, but we could hold smaller exhibitions regularly."
And apparently, with the monster summoning function, we could summon monsters.
This meant we could have human vs. monster battles.
To summon monsters, points were required.
The more points used, the stronger the monster that could be summoned.
"I see, the monsters that appear are random. And with the instant death prevention function, we can be assured in case something goes wrong."
Finally, one last facility that became available with this level-up was:
〈Village Council Hall: A facility for the village council. Let’s reflect the public’s opinion properly and create a better village!〉
This village had been granted self-governance by the King of Celtia.
But in reality, for something to be truly self-governed, many aspects were still quite haphazard.
After all, as the village chief, I held all the power, but I was completely inexperienced in politics.
With everyone’s support, I had managed to develop the village to this point, but honestly, I didn’t feel confident about managing such a large village properly.
"Let’s create a council."
So, I decided to create a new village council.
It would be for ensuring that the villagers' voices were properly reflected in village governance.
"Maybe about thirty council members? We can’t have just anyone becoming one, so there should be a requirement of at least one year of residence. We’ll also set an age limit... and as for the selection method, maybe an election? First, let’s inform everyone and encourage them to run."
After calling for candidates,
"Wait, three candidates!? That’s way too few! There’s supposed to be thirty seats!"
For some reason, only three people had run for council.
I thought there would be at least more in a rural village...
By the way, those three were Gai-san, Grandma Nema, and Manta-san.
"(I want to make a law that says all young women must expose their skin properly. Then this village will become a utopia.)"
"(Recently, everyone’s lacking backbone, so I want them to bring in people who are more worth training.)"
"(I should create a law that says all the beautiful women in the village must become my girlfriends! Then I can say goodbye to my forever single life! Haha, I’m so smart!)"
Hmm... what’s going on?
I don’t think these three should be council members.
