Multiple updates today
Here's the first one

Despite some mishaps, I managed to get a large amount of 'ordinary wood' with Shijou, the black-haired ponytail, dead-serious committee chair.
　Upon returning, I look around the space where the hut is currently set up.
　Though this space uses the cliff below, there's no reason to move it for now.

I'll probably set up my new home here.

"So, what kind of house should we make…"

"First of all, we need a bedroom for you, Kouno-kun."

It seems the three of them were shocked that we all slept together.

"Well, I guess it's fine if I sleep in the hut and you girls use the new house..."

When I say this, Yonjou makes a face like she's overstepped and denies it.

"I-I didn't mean it like that. I don't want to isolate you, Kouno-kun..."

I laugh to calm her down, as she stammers.

"Haha, I understand. I just thought it was a good idea. I'd rather be with my friends anyway."

"Every time I need something, it's a hassle to call you over, Sousuke-kun. It might be better to have a place for everyday use."

Shion suggests as she prepares the food.

"That's a good idea. For example, if an intruder comes or if I need weapons when I join you, it would be a hassle to call you over. It might be better to make a weapons room from the start."

"Haha, I imagined it as a storage room or a dressing room, but that's a good idea too."

Shion gave a wry smile.
For example, it would be a hassle for her to keep asking me every time soap ran out.
Maybe it would be better to set up a place to store consumables.

"Considering that we might gain more members in the future... maybe we should make it a bit bigger...?"

The little hut in front of us was originally built for Chiyu and herself.
It ended up accommodating four people that day, but five would be tight.

Instead of rebuilding the house every time a new member joined, it might be better to build a larger house from the start.

"Kouno-kun, can you build two-story structures too?"

"Yeah, I think I can."

"If that's the case, how about making everyone's bedrooms on the second floor, and the living room and kitchen on the first floor?"

「So it’s going to be like a normal house, huh? In that case, it might be nice to have a door that connects to the bathroom so you can go there right from the house.」

「That’s true. Also, if the bathroom has a roof, you can take a bath even when it’s raining.」

「You’re right. Right now, the bathroom, kitchen, work area, and dining table are all out in the open. With more materials, it’s hard not to want to do more and more things.」

「Of course, you’re the one generating the materials, so please include the things you prioritize.」

「Actually, maybe we should discuss this with everyone once we’re all together. For now, let’s just work on the basics with you and Four Rods.」

Four Rods smiled softly at my words.

「Sure, let’s do that.」

With Four Rods’ help, we quickly finalized the basic layout.

After that, we went to help Shion.

「Then, maybe you two could cut up some meat for grilling.」

"Craft Generation" doesn't fall under the category of cooking, so it only cuts meat up to the point of butchering.

It can separate the meat into rough cuts, but you have to arrange and cut them yourself after that.
　Shion and I are cutting the loin.

"Hey, Shion. Can we use the akebi skin like stuffed peppers?" Shion asks.

While working, Shion talks to Shion.

"Yeah."

"I tried biting into it, and it's very bitter, but can we use it after removing the bitterness?"

"I think that should work."

"Hmm hmm. Oh, Sousuke, can I borrow another knife?"

"Sure."

I handed her the stone knife.

Shion minced the meat with a two-handed stone knife.
She also finely chopped the mushrooms.
Then she added salt to the meat and mushrooms in a bowl, mixed them together, and stuffed them into a vine.

"I'll fry them up when the two of them get back."

"That sounds good! Fried food is nice, and it's also fun to look forward to the different texture from just eating the mushrooms and meat."

"I'm glad you think so."

"...Considering we could also have grilled meat, I'm a bit worried about the calories."

"Well, today's a celebration for welcoming Four Staves."

"A celebration... y-yeah. I'm grateful for the hospitality."

Yoshino seems embarrassed.

"It's not about calories, but there are so many things I want: vegetables, rice, seasonings, and more."

"Yeah. It makes you realize how fortunate we were in Japan. I want bread, eggs, and ketchup. And bacon..."

Bread requires wheat, eggs need chickens, and ketchup has multiple ingredients.
While I might be able to make bacon from boar meat, I don't know the finer details of the process, so I should probably ask someone.

"I want to drink cocoa..."

If I have cocoa beans, could I make cocoa?
Actually, if I can get my hands on cocoa beans, I want to try making chocolate too...

The three of them reminisce about their life in Japan for a while.

「If the mystery blackboard shows up in my dreams again tonight, something else might get added to the vote.」

「That's true. And we're really lucky that we can talk about what we want to eat, not just what's available.」

「I agree. If everyone hadn't helped me, I might've ended up wandering around with a spell that didn't work properly.」

「Hehe, you're right. My abilities are even worse. I don't know what would've happened if Shouko hadn't found me.」

The two of them looked at me.

「You're right, Kouno-kun. Your abilities play a big part.」

「Yeah. I'm sorry to rely on you so much, but let me know if anything's bothering you.」

「I will. For now, crafting is fun, so it's not a problem.」

As we chatted, the three of us kept working.

「Ta-da!」

「The Queen's Return」

Sousuke, Chiyu, and Mashiro are back.

"Welcome back, Shouko-chan, Chiyu-chan, and Mashiro-kun. Can I start preparing dinner now?"

"Having a wife like Shouko at home is a nice life!"

"Whose wife? If she's Sousuke's, I'm sorry, but I can't give up the position of first lady."

"O- Wife... Iyama-san, you're jumping to conclusions!"

With five of us, it gets lively all of a sudden.

"All right, let's have dinner."

"Today's menu is grilled boar meat, mulberry stuffed with meat, and a soup with mushrooms and vegetables."

"Wow! Our diet's improved so much in just two days, hasn't it?"

「After dinner, we'll start building the new house. It's going to be a two-story house.」

「Minorin, you've cut down a lot of trees, haven't you? Mashiro was supposed to help out today.」

Shouko said with admiration, but Yotsuji had a bitter expression, as if remembering today's failure.

「I haven't forgotten about the Fenrir hut, so we'll think about it later.」

I told Shouko.

「My bedroom will be next to Sousuke's.」

「Then I'll be on the opposite side.」

「What? It's first come, first served!?」

Shouko exclaimed in alarm at Chiyu and Shion's words.

「Ah, you two...」

Yotsuji made a troubled face.

"Oh, right, everyone. We should let Yotsuji join the meeting later."

"Mm. For the healthy operation of the group, there's no other choice."

"M-Minori looks angry."

Only Shouko blushed as if she were embarrassed.
　This was the secret meeting between the girls that had also taken place yesterday.

That's why Shion and I ended up doing that in the bath today...

Shouko and Yotsuji too...? Thinking about it made my temperature rise.

Shaking my head to ward off the temptation, I generated a stone plate to make some grilled meat.

I'll be updating multiple times, so I hope you'll read them.
Also, thank you so much for keeping me at the daily and weekly #1 spots!!
I'm still at #2 for the monthly, but the point difference from #1 has narrowed compared to yesterday!!
Thank you...!!
