I Reincarnated as an Elf in a Broken World.

Chapter 81 – Everyone is settling in, shouldn’t I do that too?



After I left that little "Lake" and brought Lucy with me, I started helping my aunt and the other people in the group to cut some trees and vegetation that was around, it seems that we were back to square one at the beginning of the trip.

But it was easier than I thought, all the trees were thin, so they were all easily cut with a few swings of my sword, so I didn't get tired easily.

This lasted a long time, but it gave a very good result, as soon as I paused and looked around, I realized that a large space had already been opened, I couldn't even compare it with the previous space.

Seeing this, many people started to settle in the place, all of them were choosing a place and laying out a blanket, apparently, it would be the place where they would spend the night.

Nobody had a house, and it wouldn’t be possible to build a village here with little space, so people were just laying out a blanket on the spot that they would sleep in so as not to take up too much space.

And next to the blanket they left their bags, also to mark the place, because they could end up confusing if they didn't, and end up lying in someone else's place.

I didn't care about choosing a location now, so I kept cutting and cutting, just keeping an eye on Lucy, I couldn't let her out of my sight, but all the while she stayed in the same place where I left her, in case it was in the same place where my purse was.

"Are you worried about Lucy?" My aunt asked as she continued to cut, I looked at her and realized that she was very sweaty, but even though she was sweaty she didn't seem tired, her breathing was very well controlled.

"A little, but I think everything is fine, there are a lot of people around."

"Yes, she will not get lost here, and nobody will do anything to her, she can continue to work without problems." She smiled at me and stopped cutting a little, she seemed to be resting her arm, so I took advantage of her stop and stopped cutting too.

"I think I'm starting to get tired."

"My arm got a little tired, but I think I can go on for a while, you should stop now."

"I think everyone should stop today, won't they? It will start to get dark soon and the food needs to be prepared."

"Hmm, I'll let them work for another hour, then we'll stop, what do you think?" She had a sadistic smile, she is even forcing them to work by pretending it is training.

"I feel sorry for them, but there is nothing I can do. I'm going to get some rest then." I put my sword in the scabbard.

"Hahaha, you don't have to feel sorry, it will help them." She had a confident tone, but I think she is right, it would help them to have more resistance.

I should use this moment to train too, but I will have other opportunities later. So I left my aunt behind and went to Lucy.

"Lucy, let's look for a place for us to sleep, everyone is already settling somewhere." I picked up my bag from the floor and then Lucy stood up saying, "Okay." She seemed to be bored.

I'm sorry girl, but there's nothing fun to do here.

After that I started to walk around the place looking for a good space for us to stay, a space good enough to sleep in the three, because I wanted to sleep next to my aunt, I would feel safer like that.

'Where?' Everywhere I looked I already had a blanket lying on the floor, only one place was left free.

"Are you kidding?" The only place I wouldn't want to be next to, I think it's not a good idea to settle here.
I approached that small lake while looking at the water a little suspiciously, the space around it was empty, it seems that no one was interested in settling in that place.

I honestly am also not interested in sleeping next to this place, there is certainly something wrong here.

"There's something wrong?" Lucy seemed confused by my reaction.

"It's nothing, let's look for another place to stay, if we don't find it, we can wait for my aunt."

"Why don't we stay here?"

"This is not a good place, haha." I couldn't just say that I had a bad feeling about staying here, it would be a little weird to do that.

"I understand." But luckily Lucy just accepted that and didn't question my decision anymore, so I left that place as soon as possible and settled in temporarily in a small space left over between the blankets.

After that the only thing I could do was wait for my aunt to finish her job, they will open up more space so we can enjoy and get a good place to stay. But I think it will last temporarily, if everyone really wants to stay here, in a short time this place will have become a new village.
