I was Reincarnated in Another World with Absorb Skills

Chapter 17-Starting the renovation!

"Your materials will arrive later in the afternoon, miss," the shop employee informed me.

"Okay, just deliver it to Luna Inn, thank you," I replied with a nod.

It's been three days since the whole drama surrounding Luna Inn, and now I find myself in Clover Chubb Store, a shop that sells construction materials and furniture for houses and buildings. After signing the contract and paying for the supplies, I walked out of the store and headed straight to what used to be Luna Inn na ngayon ay lote nalang ang natira.

So much had happened in the past three days. Pagkatapos mapunta saakin ang Luna Inn, kinabukasan ay agad naming pinag-usapan ni August ang mga plano ko tungkol dito. One of the first decisions I made was to renovate the entire structure. The Inn was too old—severely worn and broken in some areas. The entire place looked run-down, hindi na maganda tingnan lalo na ang hagdan na any time ay maari nang bumagsak kung hindi lang ni-repair nina ate Josilyn para safe pa din tungtungan.

The next day, we cleaned the place thoroughly, sina Nanay Linda at lahat ng empleyado ay tumulong. We removed all the furniture and stripped the place bare. By late afternoon, we demolished the building. I told everyone to take a break and not report to work for a few days, encouraging them to relax and spend time at home.

On the third day, I summoned the slimes to help clean up the debris, and I started drafting my design for the new Luna Inn.

I entered the tent I had built to sleep in after the Inn was demolished and walked over to my table where my drafted blueprints lay. The new design was inspired by Earth’s modern hotels but infused with aesthetic elements from this world.

And now... today marks the beginning of building the newest and finest Luna Inn—one that I hope will become the pride of Beloniä and the reason many will come to visit.

After adding some final touches to the blueprint, I began measuring the land where the structure would be built. Once done, I stood at the very center of the plot and called upon the element of Earth.

"Tiovjsku alushino, acra alupa pishnuï," I chanted, and the ground where I had measured began to sink and reshape, forming a broad, flat square—the foundation of the soon-to-rise building. The depth was just enough for stability, not too deep.

I then used Earth Magic again to create concrete, bricks, and blocks, and began the construction of the building.

Bandang hapon kung saan patapos na ang paggagawa ng building, thanks to the help of my familiars—the ever-reliable slimes. The materials I ordered arrived just in time. After unloading everything onto the lot, the workers quickly left, and I continued working.

Earlier, Nanay Linda and the other employees came by to bring me food and offered their help, even though I told them to relax for the time being. August and Baron also dropped by to check on the progress and couldn’t hide their amazement. After all, in just a few hours, I had already finished constructing the second floor, on my own! Of course, it was still bare since it still has no roof or furnishings yet. Just the basic structure made from concrete, bricks, and blocks.

Bandang 8 na ng gabi ako natapos sa 3rd floor and I'm exhausted.

This wasn’t just a simple third floor either; I added structural and visual details, including 50 rooms that would soon become the temporary home of tourists and adventurers from different lands.

Umupo ako sa upuan kaharap ng lamesa kung saan ako kumakain at tiningnan ang Inn na unti unti ng nagagawa, nasa bandang tagiliran lang itong tent na aking tinutuluyan kaya nasa lote parin ako ng Luna Inn. Nanay Linda had suggested I stay at their house while the Inn was being rebuilt, but I declined. I preferred staying close, right on the lot, to easily resume construction without travel delays. So I bought a large tent from the Earth Magic store, set it up, and equipped it with the necessities.

Gruuu~

Nabalik ako sa wisyo ng kumulo ang aking tiyan, natatawa ko itong tiningnan at umiling iling pa.

"Siguro ay magluluto nalang ako ng adobo... matagal na rin akong hindi nakakakain nito," I muttered, standing up to get my kitchen equipment from my dimension storage. I laid them out on the table, pulled out the orc meat I had Tomas butcher for me last week, and started cleaning and slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

Thankfully at sa loob ng dimensions ko ay hindi gumagalaw ang oras kaya hindi nasira ang mga karne na nakalagay dito.

I ordered the ingredients I needed next and began chopping onions, garlic, and ginger. I heated the pan on the stove and, once ready, sautéed the garlic, ginger, and onions. Even with just those three ingredients, the aroma was mouthwatering, and I felt my hunger spike.

I added the orc meat, stirred it well, and followed with soy sauce, vinegar, MSG, salt, water, black pepper, bay leaves, fish sauce, and brown sugar. The rich, savory smell filled the tent. I mixed everything and let it simmer under a covered lid.

Adobong baboy was my mother’s signature dish—my all-time favorite. When I was older, Mama taught me how to cook it. No one in this world knows about it, so the recipe is truly Earth-exclusive… though the meat isn't exactly pork.

While waiting for the meat to tenderize, I set the table with plates and utensils, cleaned the kitchen tools, and returned them to storage. I ordered rice since I'm too hungry to cook anymore. When the dish was finally done, I plated it and began to eat.

"Huummm..."

I couldn’t help but moan in delight. Just one bite and the explosion of flavors overwhelmed me. The high-quality orc meat paired with hot rice under the starlit sky. This is heaven!

Inimis ko na ang mga pinagkainan ko at aaminin kong napadami ang aking kain dahil 3x akong umorder ng kanin at said rin ang platito na nilagyan kanina ng ulam.

"It has been so long since I tasted this delicious dish," I said with a smile, rubbing my full stomach. "It really is delicious... pero wala pa ring panaman sa luto ni Mama," I added softly in my mind, nodding to myself.

Pumasok na ako sa tent ko at nahiga na sa kama pagkatapos kong mahindagan at nakangiting tumingin sa bubong ng tent.

"Thank you for a wonderful yet exhausting day, my Goddess. Please guide and protect me and the people I care about every day," I prayed softly, my eyes slowly closing.

'Good night, Goddess Lisha...'

And with that, the melody of the night swallowed me into sleep.
