A whole week, A WHOLE WEEK! Has been spent naming thousands of orcs. Kid orcs to elder orcs, tall orcs to small orcs. I named them here and there, I named them everywhere. I did name them everywhere you see, I even named them while on a tree. I felt trapped, like I was stuck in a box, I couldn't sneak away even though I looked somewhat like a fox. I even named them while in the rain, safe to say it was an absolute pain.

For the most part, the newly named high orcs had spread their residency throughout the whole forest of jura with only a small chunk of their numbers moving into our town including Geld or I guess technically Geld the 2nd. Development has been going somewhat smoothly, thanks to orc's assistance in manual labor, we made plenty of small holding structures and even started building some houses and stores. The houses for me and rimuru were the priority to be made first, while rimuru made his more on the smaller side, I requested to have mine a bit more bigger. With given the absolute miracle of being a home owner without working on or paying for any mortgages or taxes, of course I'll go for more than the bare minimum. I also didn't want my house to be cramped either since I'd like to add plenty of furniture and decorations later on, for now it's mostly empty and spacious.

Also soon after the war, everyone had gained occupations, Napolean was given the role of samurai general while Bejamin became his assistant. Cameilla has been labeled as the "Sacred Princess" although that doesn't really explain anything specifically but it seemed like she took up a manager/supervisor role in the kinda government we had established. Basically the same like in the original, especially when keeping rimuru in check. Lavandra despite claiming to be my bodyguard, gained the occupation of Cameilla's assistant, although I think it's more to keep eyes on Lavandra if anything. Everyone else seemed to have their original occupation, Shifu as military instructor, Geld as the head builder, Brock and Kaijin as the manufacturers of weaponry and armor. As for me, what occupation did I receive? Was it also some government job, to do paperwork and give approval alongside rimuru? NO! I was a 19 year who couldn't drive, how effective do you think someone like that would be in congress?

My occupation is...student. Yep, despite being a high school graduate, I have literally been pulled back to elementary school alongside kids, aka my middle school nightmare. The reason being is.... I can't read. Specifically since rimuru was Japanese and the kijin's culture was influenced by Japanese otherworlders a few generations ago, the established literature language was Japanese, which as a non Japanese, was hard to translate. I thought to just have Wise Sage translate it for me but I was given this response

Wise Sage:[Negative, it would be a waste of my skills. Master should learn about Japanese literature naturally]

Still kind stung that I was denied by my own skill. It would've looked weird if I put into the adult classes for literature, so I was enrolled in classes within the newly built school alongside kids that looked closer to what my age resembles. But BOY do I struggle in those classes. Let's just say, I don't want to go over my troubles in that
