After the arrival of Tey and the team, Almost a month had gone and winter has started, But with the Firestone, the cave was never cold. Instead, it was quite comfortable and warm.

Aster decided that it was time to talk about the formation of the village with these people. He needs a house! A kitchen! A proper bathroom! Proper furniture! He needs proper lazy life!!

And so he called selected his family(Roxe included), Fret's family, Tey's family, one elder named Drut, and Anu to his room. He told them.

"As I was thinking about how to spend our days, I found that maybe finding a tribe to live in might be impossible, We are abandoned by our tribe so another tribe won't easily take us in."

Tey and Dio nodded with this sentence. They also knew that it was quite not possible. 

"But we can depend on each other and live our lives and make our own tribe right?"

The elder Drut smiled with the child's ambition. 

Tey was once again about to scold Aster on reflex when Dio pinched his shoulder and spoke.

"You do know that to make a tribe we need 4 main people. We only have a witch, what about the other 3?"

Aster smiled.

"We can just make a village then! Until we have our own Priest and Guardian and also a tribe chief. We can just make a village!"

Everyone: "Village?"

Aster noted that everyone was hooked and started spouting nonsense.

"A village is like a place where one can live while depending on each other, it doesn't practically need 4 main people, Only a village doctor which can be me or Roxe is important. Isn't that cool?"

Roy murmured: "What is cool?"

Tey and Drut asked what they need to do for making a village? And Aster told them.

"We make houses!"

Everyone: "House?"

Roy once again whispered: "Are you sure it's not a mouse?"

Aster wanted to beat this brat but started to explain what a house is.

"It is warmer than a cave in winter, Everyone can have privacy there, We can each have our own house, We can eat and sleep with our family. A house is like a place for one family to live their lives! We can have windows to see outside without going out. It's very beautiful too!"

'At least more than a cave that is.'

Then Fret asked how do we make a house? 

Aster told them about the wood houses and then how to make them. His lecture on house went for quite some time but it was not long before they understood and agreed that indeed, A village and house is good to have.

"But we will also need furniture for sitting and dining on and making food right?"

Everyone: "Furniture?"

Roy once again said under his breath: "You sure it's not fur of nitre chicken?" (Nitre is an animal here)

Aster gritted his teeth as he thought, Child, pray that it's not your fur instead!

After showing the drawings and telling the function of each thing everyone was pumped up. After having breakfast. Dio took 4 people to find a place beside the river and after getting a positive response from Aster, The others decided to tell everyone about the village and houses. For now, they decided to make 30 houses. 

Rui and Sani talked among themselves and then decided to divide into three teams and take care of meals accordingly. Aster knew that without the help of his summoners making a village in winter will be very hard. And so Aster introduced Vigos, Ignis and Monse to his people as traveling merchants.

Monse and Dio talked and they reached a contract that in a month these three will also teach them how to control their powers to everyone here and they will take care of their meals. Only Aster knew what their real meal was.

And so Vigos helped with wood cutting and his technique was being taught at the same time. He also taught how to plant and how to farm at the same time to Wood ability users(12 out of 90 some people). Monse taught attack patterns to water ability users( 10 in the team). He helped in designing the houses and also making the perfect place to make a house. 

Ignis, on the other hand, kept the warriors busy at night, He beat the crap out of them, and the next morning after Roxe's medical bath, They were full of energy. 

Even Tey and Dio were unable to beat Ignis and so he became their instructor for battle techniques.

Aster on other hand still went to his space and collect food, herbs, and made pills. 

Days went by the village was coming in shape quickly.

****

2 months have gone and Tarv today made the decision to move on from now. Lud and Zuk got everyone ready to move. They kept their pace slow so as to not make to anyone exhausted.

Shig was still suffering from the annoying Mitik's nagging.

"Shig wait! Shiya is sick!"

When Shig was on his way to complain about Mitik to Tarv, Zuk's fiman brother, Zai came running to him to tell him about his sister's sickness. 

Being ill in winter was like a curse without an antidote. Shig face paled and he ran to his sister's tent only to find her sleeping with a red face and heavy breathing. He was worried and very much panicked.

Zai also told Tarv and Zuk about this who came to Shig's sister's place. 

Tarv put his hand on Shig's shoulder as he said:

"Don't worry, there is a tribe on 2 days distance, We can ask for help from them!"

Shig nodded and picked himself up. Zuk gently patted his head. For him, Shig and Shiya were the same as his siblings. He was responsible for them.

And so they went on 2 days to the tribe from here. When they reached the tribe, the people asked for food for treating Shiya.

Shig was angered when he heard the amount but Tarv decisively agreed. 

With this, they got Shiya medicine and moved away. 

Mitik and Zai were responsible for Shiya's recovery as they moved toward the south once again. With not much food remaining, The team of 2000 picked their pace.

While over here, Aster and others fully furnished their houses and were giving a farewell party to Vigos, Monse, and Ignis. 

Ignis gave his students a steel sword, which he collected when he was in the apocalypse with Aster and they stole stuff everywhere. He also made wooden swords for children. He gave a bow and 30 arrows with fire enhancement to Roy. Who cried on spot. He gave a spear to Jiole and Dio. He gave two daggers to Zed and Fret. With the guidance of Ignis, they knew how to use these weapons.

Monse gave his students a water whip and he gave blue roses with the effect of cooling to every woman and fiman. 

Vigos on other hand made a garden of fruit and flowers for everyone in the village. Because of Vigos help, they made 100 houses instead of 30 and they were very grateful to him than anyone else. He also helped them in farming and stuff. 

And so after 40 days, They took their leave and Aster broke to Level 3.

Tey and others were talking about important stuff.

"So, We have a witch, Roxe and Aster have already given him everything needed. So, one house is for Aster's family, one For Dio and my family, and one for Fret's family. so if we go on like this only 20 houses are used. What about the other 80?"

Drut asked. Tey who was absentminded for some time didn't listen and Dio answered.

"For now we can just leave them be, They might be used in the future."

Yul came to where they were talking and said to them.

"Dinner is prepared. Everyone is being called."

Drut nodded and said they were coming. After he went, Dio and Drut stood up but Tey mumbled.

"I want to marry Sani."

Dio slipped while Drut coughed.

Dio quickly stood up and shouted at his brother.

"What the heck are you speaking of?!"

Tey looked at Dio with determination.

"I know what I am saying! I want to marry her! I love her!"

Tey and Sani were known each other for almost 3 months now. because Tey's children were always with Sani, even when eating or sleeping, Tey had become familiar with her. Even though she was the mother of 3 children, they never burdened her, and after Sani told him about his husband he became more gentle with her and don't know when but he was already in love with her.

For Tey, He has already imagined himself as Sani's son's father. Though Aster was always carefree he also had no guard against him which made him happy, Zester keeps quiet but he never rejected his pats. For Zed and Aed, while learning how to fight with Ignis they became much close.

"I will propose to her today!"

Dio got a heartattack! 

"Say it again! Say it! You just...God! what happened? How did you fall for Sani? No wait when did this even happened???"

Aster who was passing by heard Tey's words and happily skipped to him.

"We having a wedding soon Mm?"

Tey smiled and slapped Aster's head.

"Yeah, Soon I will be your father."

Aster..."Um..what was that again?"

Dio: Σ(▼□▼メ)

Tey ignored the glare of Dio and said softly to Aster.

"Little Ast, I want to marry your mother, Can I?"

Aster: (⊙_⊙)

"If i say no?"

Tey: "You think I won't propose to her then?"

Aster:...You win.

"So, Ok then. Go ahead. You should just go and become a dad of 6 children."

He laughed and went to find Sani.

Dio was still in shock and Aster helped Drut and Dio to dinner which was soon going to be ruined.
