The Ordinary Sorcerer's Fun Otherworld Villain Play - Chapter 40 - Court Dismissed!!

◇◇◇◇

“Now, what should I do from here…?”

Various things happened, but the trial ended.

White and the others’ appearance, and their words as celebrities in this world.

Apparently, I’ve settled down as one pitiful mob framed by the great villain called Curse Brotherhood.

Well, basically I was released.

Right now at the cathedral, White and the others, the church, and the reincarnator hero guys seem to be talking about something.

I applied the technique to suppress my curse power amount and the skill unique to loners—disappearing from a place unnoticed—and slipped out from the cathedral in the confusion. But… well, all good!

“But even if I was released… That is, I stood out a bit badly. Hmm… In mastermind villain play, the public face standing out isn’t very tasty. Should I calmly consider my course here?”

I was now sitting in the field’s center.

After the trial ended, I forgot to water the field, so I worried and came to check.

“Hmm, I really wanted to make ridges between fields and waterways from here, but should I continue staying in this village? But the field…”

[Are you troubled, Player?]

“Ah, Navi. Right, I’m troubled. Whether I should stay in this village as is. Thinking carefully, sorcery training is mostly finished. White and the others are energetically independent somehow. The reason for me to be in this village now is only about the field.”

[I see. You’re considering departure to new lands, Player.]

“Yeah. In Life Field too, as expected, the most exciting part is advancing to a new stage.”

[Wonderful thinking, Player. Certainly, in Holga Village you’ve accumulated power enough to say it’s sufficient.]

“Ahh, but the field. If I hadn’t stood out with the trial, I wanted to keep playing with the soil, earning meals as is.”

[Player, I’ll propose a wonderful solution that can solve your worries at once. Please view the skill tree.]

“Oh?”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

New skill tree added

[King’s Land Skill Tree]

[Land Preservation]

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

“Ohh?”

[King’s Land Skill is, as the name suggests, a skill specialized in land domination. Player, you already showed aptitude as a rebel against the 7 Great Gods. Therefore, this skill—]

“Skill use.”

[Eh, using it already? You won’t listen to the explanation?]

Navi was saying something, but I already used it, so it can’t be helped.

Hmm, the sensation of heat overflowing from the body’s depths, going outside the body.

Seems I can use it the same way as using sorcery.

I pointed my palm at the field.

“[Land Preservation]”

Instantly, light filled the field.

Pure white shining light—it painted over the soil and crops more and more.

“Oh, seriously?”

In the blink of an eye, the field disappeared. Instead, in my hand was a small ball like a superball.

When I held it against the sun, inside that sphere I could see a well-known scene.

Lushly grown crops. Rich soil.

A field. Inside the sphere was a field.

Could it be?

My gamer brain told me I could do it.

“[Land Release]”

POP!

This time with smoke, the field appeared before me.

The soil and crops had no abnormalities—same as before preserving them in the sphere.

[Eh, why? Without me explaining, you used the land preservation skill…]

“Hey, this—could it be Life Field’s… housing function?!”

The game Life Field’s one popular element.

Housing.

I recalled the system where you could customize land and houses to your preference and make bases.

The bases you made could be itemized and carried like this, deployed anywhere you like in the world, right?

Hmm, come to think of it, guild members were oddly particular about interior design too.

Whether to make the guild house European style, Japanese style, or Chinese style.

Nostalgic. I liked making practically useful facilities like farms, ranches, and water factories rather than interiors, though.

[Eh?]

“Hey hey hey, this is a sure win. Let’s prepare to move.”

Snap.

I snapped my fingers and used the skill.

Hmm hmm, completely the same sensation as handling sorcery.

[Eeh… You’re already completely handling the skill… Player, you’re as expected…]

Navi went silent.

Oops, I got excited and neglected them.

Later, to improve their mood, should I eat something oily?

Since we share taste, affection adjustment is easy.

“Now, if that’s decided, for now I’ll go hunting in the forest, then prepare to move—”

“U-um, Ka-Kasutani-kun…?”

“Hm?”

A voice came from behind.

A familiar voice.

“…Ah.”

Behind me was her.

Snow-like pure white skin without a single blemish.

Jewel-like blue eyes.

Long golden hair as if shining by itself.

Snow-san, wearing magic academy uniform-like clothes, was there.

“Kasutani-kun. Ju-just now, did you erase the field…?”

“Crap.”

Snow-san saw me preserve the field.

What should I do?
