"Alright, ready.

"I hope you didn't forget anything, Keogh.

"I will accompany you wherever you go, Phitis.

"Master~!　I'll follow you anywhere!

"Pop!　Leave it to Rock to move!

"Where you go, brother, I'll be there.

When I got ready and went outside, Lily, Fitis, Dora-chan, Locke, and Jack were there, all the usual members were there.

Since then, I've plowed the fields, and with the help of the townspeople, I've taught them how to harvest and cultivate.
The raggedy house has been rebuilt with the money I saved and is now inhabitable, and Mina will take care of everything in my absence.

Well, let's go.

The Kingdom of Valkyria is on its way.

"I know you're going to get your seed from the Empress there. Since you lost in the final, that would be the first one.

"Mmmm, Lily. Don't blame the master~

"I'm sorry,

Dori, who had been riding on my head in response to Lily's usual snide remarks, rides on Lily's head and protests, "No, the second one, exactly.

No, the second one, to be exact.

I disagreed with Lily's earlier statement and took something out of my pocket in front of everyone who was wondering.
It's a golden jewel and also a seed.
the seed of the world tree that was given to the winner of the grand cooking competition. It was the seed of the World Tree that was given to the winner of the grand culinary competition.

What on earth did you do with it?

Well, it's a lot to talk about.

It was an unexpected turn of events, even for me.





A month after the final, I was planning to contact Moe, get a title of hero, and enjoy the slow life for a while, but then that guy showed up.

"Hey, Keogh. You really live in a ramshackle house, don't you?

What are you doing here, Dad?

No, I'm just trying to teach you something.

It was always the same as when I came home from work and my dad would talk to me out of the blue.

Did you see the jape last week?　Hye-sook and Krol are facing off.

"Huh?　Seriously?　I gotta see it!

"Oh, well, I'll let you read it and all the back issues next time.

"At ......, you don't think that's what you want to teach, do you?

No, no, no, no. By the way, did you hear from the Goddess about this demon king?

I nodded quietly about it.
Honestly, there's no way I could forget such a shock.
As I was nodding my head, a question came to me.

Did my father know about it?

"Of course. Why do you think I'm here?

Dad said meaningfully.

"So, here's my advice to you: go to the Valkyria Kingdom first.

The Kingdom of Valkyria.
It's the land of the Empress of the World Tree Seeds.
I was going to go there at some point, but why there?

"Because right now, it's the frontline country in a fierce battle with the Demon King's army.

"...... I see, that's what you mean.

I instantly understood what my father meant.
So next I should go to the Valkyria kingdom, but not to the real one.
I'm going to face another demon king.

No ordinary human would be able to do such a thing, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm probably an exception.
And my father knows that.

But then shouldn't he go?

I've been very busy. You're the one who asked the goddess directly for help.　Then we'll have to give up the show.

Appropriate.

Well, in lieu of a replacement, I'll give you this one and you can do the rest.

Then he handed me the seed of the world tree. The seed of the world tree.

"Why are you giving it to me so honestly?

I can't help it, that's the only thing you seem to be able to grow. I've been trying for a month and it didn't grow at all. Then maybe the rest of the possibilities are on you. Don't worry, I'll be useful to you later on, so just stay tuned.

And then my father, waving his hand in the air as usual, walks away.
His appearance is as abrupt as ever, and his departure is as abrupt as ever.



Well, now I have the seed of the world tree.
I buried it in a corner of the yard, covered it with dirt and then slowly stood up.

Okay. Now all that's left to do is to go get the second one before it sprouts.

The group nods at my declaration.
Locke's body is engulfed in light, and his form transforms into a giant white divine bird, the seamurg.



Everyone jumped on his or her back, including Lily, and I jumped on Rock's back too.

Initially, my goal was to live a slow life, and I thought it would be nice if I could live a slow life in this world.
But then events started pouring in, and before I knew it, the game turned into a cookbook and finally into an adventure story.
The slow life scam is just fine.
However, I don't intend to leave the slow life at all.
Rather, after all these events, I'll have a slow life of growing world trees.
It's all for me to have a great slow life.

The rock is high in the sky with us, and we are headed to the land of new events.

Yes, our slow life is just beginning!



Not censored?　It's going to last, okay?
