Chapter 57 – Start Farming!? Make Farmland!!
We headed to the direction of the swamp and lake.
Since we were going to gather materials, I thought about creating a “farmland”. It would be good to have a water source nearby, and it’s about time to consider self-sufficiency as well.
On a day like today, with clear skies, it seems like a good time to create a nice field.
“We’re going to make a little detour, Skor.”
“Oh, towards the lake?”
“Yeah, I’m going to proceed with the development a little. And also gather some materials.”
“Understood. I’m looking forward to what you will do.”
We walked along a serene forest path.
There might be monsters appearing, so we need to be careful. …Alright, we’ve reached the halfway point between the lake and the swamp. It’s not too far from home around here.
First, I’ll knock down trees and turn them into wood. Then, I’ll set up the “farmland” there and cultivate the field.
“I’ll use Gale Tulle to clear away obstructive trees.”
“Understood. I’ll secure the raspberries around the area.”
“Don’t go too far.”
“Yes~”
It should be fine since it’s within visible range.
I used Gale Tulle and swiftly carried out the work. I earnestly turned trees into wood, over and over again.
Wood ×523 → Wood ×2721
――That should be enough.
The land for the field has been secured.
I was fully concentrated, so the distance is sufficient. It’s equivalent to a thousand steps on foot. The width is about the same. With such a spacious area, I should be able to create an excellent field.
“Hmm, it’s perfect.”
“Wow, the land has been plowed without me realizing. Hmm, this scent of the soil… it reminds me of the elven country, Borodin.”
“Skor, you’re back?”
“Yes, I’ve also finished gathering raspberries.”
Raspberries ×31 → Raspberries ×94
That’s a lot. Since we have bread too, maybe it’s time to make some jam with these raspberries. It’s definitely going to be delicious!
“It’s still in the preparation stage, but I’m thinking of doing the field from now on.”
“That sounds great! Let’s grow various things.”
“It will broaden the range of dishes, but we’ll need seeds and such.”
“If you can go to Borodin, obtaining ‘vegetable seeds’ will be easy! Our country has plenty of farmland.”
Oh, Borodin is that kind of place. I’m sure agriculture is thriving there. I’d love to take it as a reference. Since we also have a ship, maybe it’s worth going to the elven country once…?”
I’ll discuss it with everyone. It needs further consideration.
Wood and raspberries, and the development of “farmland” have been completed. It’s going remarkably smoothly. Next, I want to create “iron,” but there’s still time, so there’s no need to rush.
“Skor, let’s take a little break.”
I used my island development skill to create a simple makeshift bench using wood. I have to say, it turned out quite well.
“Oh, a chair appeared in no time! Rasty-san, you’re amazing!”
“Ladies first. Please have a seat.”
“Y-Yes.”
Carefully holding her skirt, Skor sat on the bench I made. When I sat down next to her, she inexplicably showed signs of nervousness. Huh… when she blushes and fidgets like that, I can’t help but become conscious too.
…I wonder, Skor’s gestures like that make my heart flutter uncontrollably. …Uh-oh, I need a topic of conversation… Ah, that’s right.
“What kind of place is the elven country, Borodin?”
“Borodin, huh?”
“Yeah, my memories of my childhood are vague. I don’t even remember the memories with Skor… That’s why I want to remember.”
“Then, is it okay to start with stories from the past?” 1It’s either stories from the past or old stories.
“Yeah, please tell me in detail.”
“It was when I started being called the ‘Holy Maiden’… and started living in the ‘Humoresque Palace.'”
In a tone that was reminiscent of listening to a fairy tale, Skor began to tell the story—
