I Can Make Everything Level UP

"They need to do something about their bad habit of beheading everyone…" Billy said while furrowing his eyebrows. "Maybe it is a cultural thing that they have, but..."

"The beast tamers that survived the war also were all executed," Sarah said. "Now, the new soldiers were all being trained in the style of the barbarians."

That wasn't good. Those guys were too sturdy… while Billy had the means to zap many of them while ignoring their defense, he could only be at one place at a time. Sarah could use the same spell now, but even so… Besides, if Billy's guess was right, a reincarnated person was their leader, things were making even more sense now that Sarah mentioned a castle. It was probably something the other reincarnated person built for himself. So, someone from Earth would know how to counter electric attacks and put some rubber in their shields and armor. They probably will think of something against Sarah's ice trap as well.

Still, as long as they focus on raising an army of muscle heads, they won't achieve much against Billy's preparations. His traps were exactly made for an army strong when it comes to direct confrontation. However, Billy couldn't drop his guard. Such an obvious strategy from the enemy could be a trap.

With that in mind, Billy speeds up on the work of his tunnels. That was the only secret thing that the enemy would never be aware of until the last moment, so he wanted to make it cover a large area. It was a pity that such processes would slow down only when Billy got home, but it couldn't be helped. In any case, since Sarah had a lot of free time and she was an excellent mage, he called her to help, and without asking too many questions, she began to dig the tunnel that would lead them to their main base.

Thanks to Sarah's help, Billy made a lot of progress, but time passed slowly since she was a quiet person. It was weird given how many elementalists visited her every month to receive guidance in finding work or with training. If she were that unsociable, that many people wouldn't visit her. Regardless, eventually, Sarah and her group left and then a worried wild Kate appeared.

"What is wrong? You look tense," Billy said and then smiled. "Did you miss me that much?"

"Not one bit," Kate replied and then looked away to hide her embarrassment.

Although she said that, she was as happy as Billy after seeing her. Still, she was too shy to say such a thing directly. Nevertheless, it seemed that she had some things to say they could compensate for the lost time at night.

"As you know, the area that I need to manage is on the northeastern part of this state, even closer to the enemy territory if compared to here," Kate said. "Due to that, some of the people of that region have been seeing some scouts, and sometimes, they are seeing with prisoners."

"From our state?" Billy asked while frowning.

"I don't think so. There are no rumors about people disappearing. Did the others mention anything like that?" Kate asked.

"Kate only mentioned that the commanders of the army had been executed alongside the beast tamers and that their army policies changed," Billy replied while thinking about that. "Maybe those two things are connected, and out of fear, some people want to deflect to Hiloh state."

That would make sense. No one would want to live under the rule of a tyrant that beheaded the people that fought for them. In any case, if that was the work of the reincarnated guy, then they seriously were messed up in the head. Not to mention, their actions might cause some damage to Billy's reputation… they might reveal that he was from another world, after all. If people would believe in that, that was another matter. Still, it certainly would raise some questions due to Billy's achievements.

"I had decided to live my new life and forget about the previous one, but it seems things aren't that simple…" Billy thought and then sighed.

Billy wondered how his family would feel if they learned that he was a reincarnated person. He did his best to love them just like they loved him, but even so, he probably took the place of a real child in that world. There was also the issue about Kate and Natalie. Would they feel different knowing that Billy had ahead of someone who was fifteen years older than them? He didn't use that to make them fall in love with him, but… Billy had forgotten how annoying it was to be insecure.

"Oh, well… let's leave my future problems to the future me," Billy said and then shrugged.

"What are you talking about?" Kate asked.

Although Billy couldn't skip a day's work or a night on the tunnel, it had been a while since he saw and had the chance to be with one of his wives, so he skipped one night to spoil and be spoiled by Kate. Still, after that, she helped him make up for skipping that night. As expected, when she saw the vehicle, Kate didn't get it. Still, she was surprised that Billy's tunnels were already twenty kilometers long.

"You want to connect this place to our home?" Kate asked. "I get the idea, but it seems like a lot of work for a single plan."

"You should think ahead. We aren't going to use this just to gain the upper hand in some battles," Billy said. "With the tunnels and if I keep improving this vehicle, we will be able to travel much faster than before. Wouldn't you rather move using a vehicle that doesn't make your butt sore and shakes every single moment?"

Unlike Billy, Kate actually enjoyed the moments they traveled together.. Billy enjoyed them as well, but not when they took more than seven days both ways.
