Exiled Young Girl’s Territory Development Record: The Result of the Villainous Young Lady Who Was Exiled Before the Scenario Began and Did Whatever She Wanted for the People.

That evening, in celebration of sending off the people who had turned into zombies, we decided to hold a small festival.
It wasn’t anything grand—just a gathering where everyone brought various foods from their homes and enjoyed them around a bonfire in the village square.
Of course, I contributed wild boar meat!
Everyone was having a great time, chatting and laughing… you know, this kind of atmosphere is really nice.
It’s the first time in either of my lives that I’ve seen so many people having fun like this!
“My Lady!”
“Thank you for the meat!”
“You’re welcome. Eat as much as you like.”
“Yes!”
Although the villagers were initially a bit wary of me, now they casually talk to me… it feels good. I need to keep doing my best.
Since I’ve become the lord of this village, I must develop it and ensure that we can continue to enjoy festivals like this in the years to come!
“My Lady, you should eat too!”
“Yes, thank you. I’m eating.”
“Angel—”
“I’m not an angel! Definitely don’t call me that!”
Seriously, just when I thought I was finally getting somewhere, these interruptions…
A few days later, Marie came to the office of the former village chief, which had become my residence.
“My Lady, I’ve got a good grasp of the village’s situation.”
“Thanks. What’s the status?”
“There is a significant problem.”
“I see. What kind of problem?”
“Not only are we struggling with food, but we also can’t produce our own farming tools. As a result, the already scarce village funds are flowing out to outsiders.”
“I understand. That’s a serious issue.”
“Yes. The biggest issue is that we’re unable to grow wheat. Furthermore, it seems the traveling merchants are taking advantage of us—”
Marie continued her report, and overall, the situation sounded grim.
“I see. So for now, we’ll increase hunting and gathering this year, and work on expanding the fields for next year?”
“Yes, that seems like the best plan.”
“Alright. I’ll head to the forest with Will and the others today. Please take care of the rest.”
“Understood.”
We arrived at the cursed forest with Nathan, an old man reputed to be the most knowledgeable about plants in the village, and Bob, an experienced farmer.
“Bob, please decide where we should set up the fields.”
“Leave it to me.”
“Nathan, can you find useful fruit trees or herbs?”
“Leave it to me.”
“Will and the others, if you find any monsters, tell me. And don’t interfere this time, okay?”
“Yes! Of course!”
After giving the instructions, Will and the others nodded vigorously.
By the way, the guy who got hurt during yesterday’s hunt and was smashed by the wild boar is currently recovering at home with bruises and fractures all over. I briefly considered amputating and regrowing the fractured parts, but it seemed like I didn’t have enough magic power, so I abandoned the idea.
“Oh! My Lady, these are raspberry flowers. They’ll bear fruit in about a month.”
“Wow! Raspberries, huh? That’s great. Will, mark this spot.”
“Yes!”
Will tied a small cloth in a visible spot to mark it. This way, we wouldn’t accidentally cut down these plants during clearing.
“Those trees over there are blackberry bushes. The flowers should bloom soon.”
“Blackberries, huh? I’ve never tasted them. What do they taste like?”
“They’re sweeter and less acidic than raspberries. They’re good to eat as they are.”
“Sounds exciting!”
“Ah, there’s an apple tree over there. Those white flowers must be apple blossoms.”
“Really! There’s so much variety here!”
Nathan was sharp-eyed, finding various fruit trees. As the sun began to set, we decided it was time to head back.
“Will, let’s go back now.”
“Okay. Let’s wrap up for today.”
We finished our investigation and headed back to the village.
Having gathered enough information about the forest, we decided to start clearing it.
In the meantime, the number of skeletons had increased, now totaling four: three wild boar skeletons and one forest deer skeleton.
Since it wasn’t the season for plowing fields, we brought them along for carrying supplies.
We planned to clear about one hectare of land, as Bob had given his approval, so we could start planting next year. Until then, we’d manage with the severance pay.
“Alright, everyone. Let’s get started.”
“Yes!”
Will and the others began the work. The sound of axes striking wood filled the air…
“Let’s cut it down!”
“Don’t worry!”
The tree fell with a mighty crash!
“Wow, impressive!”
“You’re good at this!”
Will quickly stripped the branches from the large logs and carried them to where the skeletons were waiting.
His strength was extraordinary; without using magic, he could carry and handle the logs easily. I’d be flattened in no time.
Will efficiently placed the logs on the skeletons, tied them with ropes, and moved on to the next tree.
“Next one!”
“Got it!”
Will and the others continued chopping down trees and loading them onto the skeletons.
And then…
“Done! We’ve cleared quite a bit.”
“Yeah, but there’s still more to do.”
“True. But this is the first time we’ve cleared so much at once.”
“I know. But remember, this is to prevent everyone from going hungry.”
“Yes!”
“Alright, next task.”
“Huh? What’s that again?”
“Remove the tree stumps roots. We can’t use the land for farming if the roots are still there.”
“Oh, right. Bob mentioned that.”
“Yes. So, let’s kill the stumps for now.”
“Kill the stumps? What does that mean?”
“Well, usually you’d wait for the roots to rot, but we want to clear the land quickly. If we give these stumps ‘death,’ it might make things easier.”
“Wow, can you really do that?”
“Well, my magic works that way.”
I placed my hand on a nearby stump and unleashed dark magic. A black, ominous energy enveloped the stump…
Ugh. It’s resisting. Since it’s taking life, it’s expected, but…
With determination, I overcame the resistance, and the magic penetrated the stump.
After a while, the stump appeared to have completely withered.
“Wow, it really did wither.”
“She can kill things with magic…”
“My Lady, you’re amazing…”
Will and the others seemed a bit intimidated, but it’s not like I can easily give death to just anyone.
To give death, my magic must surpass the target’s magic and life force. In my previous life, even the villainess Olivia couldn’t give death to a regular person until the God of the Underworld descended. Even then, she had to weaken them considerably first.
But if I can weaken them like that, I wouldn’t need to use dark divine magic to give death…
“Will, we’re using them to pull out the stumps, right?”
“Ah, yes. I’ll get on it.”
Will and the others tied ropes around the stumps and connected them to the wild boar skeletons. I waited for them to move back before giving the command.
“Pull the ropes until the stumps come out.”
Clank, clank.
The wild boar skeletons began to move slowly, tightening the ropes.
With creaking sounds of the ropes…
Boom!
With a loud noise, the ground exploded, and the stump was pulled out.
Wow! The roots are so huge!
“Wow! Amazing!”
“That’s huge!”
Will and the others were just as astonished.
It’s not something you’d expect, seeing the size of the roots!
“Alright, let’s keep pulling out more stumps!”
“Yes!”
