Chapter 354: Ceremony Preparations 4A gothic cathedral was built the Sanctuary.


    Undine and the Great Spirits were overjoyed. Of course they would be. Their images were portrayed in the stained ss, after all.


    Though the stained ss depicted Undine, Sylph, and the other great Spirits were depicted in a botanical style, the Great Spirits were delighted that Goddess Norn’s image was strikingly simr to the statue and paintings of the continent’s Genesis Faith.


    To me, who had seen Norn-sama’s appearance, that much was only natural. I also thought it was quite simr when I made the Goddess statue in the previous church, but it was definitely more pleasing with Norn-sama’s depiction in the multicolored stained ss than with a stone statue.


    Though the church had been constructed, my work was not over.


    The church pews were being reused from the old church, but their sizes wouldn’t match, so I’m remaking them.


    We also needed a considerable amount of Lightning MDs, so Laeva had to help to increase production.


    The church had space for the custodian’s dwelling space too, so it needed various magic devices and furniture for daily life.


    I was going around checking various ces in thepleted church when Dryas requested a modification.


    「Umm, adjust the outside?」


    「That’s right. Isn’t it strange for there to be to only be a building and nothing else built on the grounds?」


    「You’re right.」


    In the center of the Sanctuary, if we exclude the Concert Hall and the Church, there was our mansion, the mansion Mimir uses as her vi, and the buildings rted to alcohol making, but they all more or less had a fence, and the mansions had gardens. Certainly, a building standing by itself would be strange.


    「Hey, you understand, don’t you?」


    「Yup, I’ll make a fence surrounding the grounds immediately. What about the inside?」


    「I will create a garden behind the building with the Spirit Tree and spring. Takumi, you put cobblestones on the frontage.」


    She seems to want cobblestones on the front part of the building. At the very least, there shouldn’t be grass or soil.


    It was Dryas’ request, so I didn’t think much of it and just worked on it. Basically, I was afraid to turn down the requests of the Great Spirits.


    Now then, I was constructing the lodging facilities for the invitees, but it’ll be located to the east of the Sanctuary immediately upon entering.


    The north has the orchard and a forest beyond it, meanwhile the west has the farnd, the residential area of the Sanctuary residents, so I wanted to avoid those areas. The south had the mines that produce rare metals, so that ce was forbidden. Well, I doubt that the people invited into the Sanctuary would mine illegally though. Then, there was the central area and the grasnds area to the east, but the Great Spirits, Sophia, and the others said that the Spirit Tree, spring, and our house were at the center, so they didn’t want that many other people going there.


    As a result, we were constructing a separate lodging facility, like an detached ind. With this, we only need to increase the security during the ceremony.


    「Alright, a hotel-like building would be okay, right? It would need a decent amount of rooms……」


    When I was piling up the materials and getting everything ready for the construction of the lodging, I remembered wanting to invite the people from Bohd vige if possible.


    They were the people I met when I first arrived in this world. Vanga-san, Martha-san, and their son Gunbo-san treated me, who didn’t know right from left, with utmost kindness. I was indebted to the cksmith Bobon-san who started me on the smithing life.


    「For starters, I’ll build this with extra rooms, then I’ll ask Sophia and the girls afterwards.」


    I piled up copious amounts of wood, stone, steel, soil, and sand. I stood in front of the pile with mana potions in hand, then gathered my senses. I refined my magic power and held a strong image of itspleted form.


    「Transmute!」


    What I was imagining was a horizontally-long three story resort hotel. A spacious lobby and all rooms were suite rooms of the same size. A space for the manager of the facility. All of which were drawn in a blueprint I drew in advance. I imagined that and activated the magic.


    <strong>Gogogogogoogoooo!!</strong>


    The same amount of magic power I used when I built the church had suddenly left my body. I chugged the potion so as to not lose concentration, and by the time the building was finished, I waspletely exhausted again.


    「……again, I transmuted it in one go. I just can’t help it though. It’s a pain in the butt.」


    Even though I thought about doing the construction in parts when I did the church, it was definitely a lot of work, so I ended up just doing it in one go.


    「Ooh! What a wonderful building!」


    「……ah, yeah, Laeva.」


    「Toilets, lightning equipment, and then water. Leave the magic device instation to Laeva, Takumi-sama, you should rest.」


    「Thanks. After I rest up a bit, I’ll make the wall around it.」


    When I sat in front of thepleted resort hotel, Laeva came with a magic bag filled with magic devices. She said I could leave the instation of magic devices to her.


    After this, I will iste this ce by building a wall and digging a moat, but…… I’ll rest today.
