Chapter 476: Entertainment


    Its been a while since Ive been able to truly just enjoy being out nting in the rice fields with the residents of the Sanctuary and eating food with everyone under clear blue skies.


    I am once again reminded that the Sanctuary definitely doesnt have much when ites to entertainment.


    Theres music for those who could y musical instruments. And there were likely many who enjoy listening to it too. But there were also people who couldnt y the instruments, and its quite sad that if music is the only thing to amuse them.


    Thats why,


    <strong>gogogogogogoooo!!</strong>


    Slightly away from the residential block of the Sanctuary, arge building was built.


    The building itself is a simple box shape, but it is quite spacious inside.


    When I entered the building, I piled up more and more wood in that spot.


    Now then, time to adjust the slope and stick with it. First is thene.


    I circted magic power on the pile of wood and casted magic while holding a strong image of the finished product.


    Transmute!


    I made ane approximately 1 meter wide and 20 meters long, specifically a bowlingne.


    I think its something like this, but if its wrong then Ill fix it.


    Yes, Im building a bowling alley in the Sanctuary.


    This was a conversation that happened two days after nting in the rice fields with everyone. As we were sitting on the sofa and drinking the tea that a maid brewed, Akane suddenly spoke up.


    Ahhh! I want to go bowling!


    Whats this all of a sudden?


    I asked Akane why shed say that out of the blue, but I thought she must have just said what came to mind.


    Hey, Takumi. Go make a bowling alley.


    Wait, I dont know what you mean.


    Takumi, you think this world doesnt have much entertainment, right? Then if theres none, you could just make it.


    Wait, just make it, you say


    Bowling, whats that nya?


    Interested in an unfamiliar word she was hearing for the first time, Lulu-chan asked, and as though she was waiting for it, Akane began exining.


    That sounds fun nya!


    Right, right??


    I also want to try this bowling!


    Im also interested!


    Master, Kaede also wants to bowling!


    Whether Akanes presentation was skillful or they were that hungry for entertainment, it wasnt just Lulu-chan who responded excitedly, Maria, Laeva, and Kaede were enthused.


    H~mm, I wasnt that good at bowling though.


    We arent telling you to go bowling, are we? You just have to make the bowling alley!


    Haa, fine. If everyone enjoys it then thats fine.


    Lets goooo!


    And so, we decided to build a bowling alley.


    While I was making the building and thenes, Laeva made the bowling balls and pins.


    The pins are made of wood so theres no problem, but the ball was proving slightly difficult.


    Ive heard that bowling balls are made with a trick that shifts its bnce. I have faint memories of being able to hook the ball.


    As for the material, its made of wood but it feels somewhat different. Obviously, to use petroleum-based materials are troublesome because they would require us to start looking for petroleum. Thats why I consulted with Dryas to know if there was a tree that we could collect stic-like resin from.


    Leave it to Oneechan~


    Y-yeah, thanks Dryas.


    Does that mean we are bowling too? Because that sounds like fun~


    So, with the material for the balls decided, I asked Laeva to make several with varying weights.


    I made 10nes inside the building, then moved on to developping the device that would align the pins automatically and the device that would return the thrown balls.


    Both the pin aligner and the ball return device was nothing inparison to the nobles. We have plenty of magic stone from small monsters for power.


    Just in case troublees up, I should build a humanoid maintenance golem on the backside of thene.


    As to be expected, a monitor that automatically tallies the score thats impossible, so theyll have to write their scores on paper themselves, but well just have to bear with it.


    Even as unskillful as I am, I threw a lot of balls as a test, but once again, I realized just how excellent this body is.


    Yup, bowling is definitely more fun when you can throw well.


    We had Akane, Sophia, and everyone to test out thene inclines and the finished balls, check if the pin aligner device and ball returner device are working properly. When the bowling alley was finished, it had be the talk of the town in the Sanctuary, so on opening day, many of the residents gathered and formed a line.


    Could you please do us a favor, Takumi, add an extension to the building and add morenes, and Laeva could you add balls and pins?


    Sure (Yes.)


    Akane instructed us to expand the bowling alley because we couldnt just keep ane to ourselves.


    A bowling boom hade to the Sanctuary. Moreover, Akane even made demands to even have her own ball. In that case, it is human nature to want more. Needless to say, Laeva and I got busy.
