Chapter 12: Developing End Village (Part 2)
It had been a few days since we started rebuilding all the villager's homes. Vespera was already done with the concrete wall to protect the place, so she was now helping me construct all the new buildings.
Yoru couldn't do much since he couldn't use earth or nature magic that well, so I told him to scout around the village just in case any monsters tried to attack us during our work times.
The shadow dogs were in the same boat. Although they weren't technically my familiars, they still listened to me if I asked them to do something.
I asked all the shadow dogs to keep watch around the village, again, just in case a monster slipped through and somehow made it in.
It was pretty funny seeing the villagers interact with the shadow dogs. These were supposed to be strong beasts that were violent and vicious, but they all acted like cute little puppies with the villagers.
I saw a kid playing with one of them, probably around seven years old. I think he was the child of that nice lady who let me stay in her house the first time I arrived here.
Although, I didn't talk to him back then since he seemed a bit shy at the time.
'To me, this just looks like a kid having fun with his pet. In reality, it's a kid having fun with a vicious beast.' I thought as I glanced at the shadow dog that was being petted by the kid. 'Aww, that's a cute beast, though...'
"Heeeey, big brother Ichiro!" yelled the kid as he waved at me.
"Hey! Sorry, I never got your name..." I said after I approached the kid.
"I'm Luke!" he said confidently.
