178-Goddess's thoughts



 It seems that Douma-kun has finally decided to take over Prince Holger's will.

''Goddess, I came to this world with a mission,'' he said, ''but now I want to carry on Holger's will and do my best for the Farnall military nation and its people. But now, I will carry on Holger's will and do my best for Farnall's military and its people. I do not ask for your forgiveness, but I apologize for my selfishness.

 He has found his purpose in life as a human of Ares.
 He's totally become a man of this world now....

 Rather than living a vague life, he found an ideal and a purpose that was worthy of his life. That's what he'd always wanted.

There is no sin after death. I'm sorry.

"....as Holger we are living in a world where we are no longer human beings.... I don't have to follow... ....

 And we also heard how he lived for three years after being possessed.

 He scavenges his own corpse and tries to grow potatoes, which he brought with him from Earth. However, in a world where magnesium exists, crops that are not resistant to magnesium are weak. Nevertheless, she continues to try to find a way to grow the potatoes.

 Unfortunately, the potatoes from the earth have not been able to increase food production, and a way to greatly enrich the country has yet to be found. Ironically, however, we did succeed in greatly increasing our strength.

 I didn't know about the black powder formula, but taking a cue from Toshiaki's cannon, I developed a cannon that uses bursting magic to send bullets flying. He established a long-range attack method that was difficult to use with normal magic. Furthermore, by crossbreeding a griffon with a horse, he succeeded in domesticating the Hippogriff, which is easy to raise. It seems that the Ares also maintains a powerful air force, although it is classified.

 They have also developed a sailing aircraft carrier with a narrow flight deck on each side to strengthen their naval power. Transport in this world is by carriage or ship, but sailing ships are far more efficient than any other means. Naval power is important for seizing control of the sea. In recent years, we have succeeded in mass production of crossbow weapons and are rapidly increasing the number of crossbow archers that can be trained in a short period of time.

 Through this and other means, it has succeeded in reducing the size of the army and reducing military expenditures while increasing its combat power.
 But it is still not enough to improve the lives of the people.
 Therefore, Douma-kun has started negotiations.

I'm the third prince, but I also have a fiefdom, and with the mainstay of commoner soldiers such as long spearmen and crossbowmen, and the enhancement of our naval and air forces, we have been able to prevent the intervention of hostile nobles. However, it has done little to improve the lives of the people. I'm not an investigator now, but would you be able to borrow the wisdom of Goddess and Ryota-dono?

 The vibe is that I'm prepared to pay something for it.
 But I'm going to show you that without a price.

'I've met a refugee from the Fafnal military state, too. 'My Goddess, I would like to help him. Originally, I was looking for the salvation crops of this world to negotiate with the northern nations. May I pass that on to you, Douma?''

 Doma was surprised that there was such a thing, but he decided to explain it, since it was a good opportunity.

 This world was originally a similar world created by the same builders as Earth, and many similar creatures of Earth created by the former Earth God. However, the creatures of this world use more or less magical elements.

 Even on Earth, most organisms have intracellular symbionts, such as mitochondria, which use oxygen, and chloroplasts, which use light and water. And in this world, there is an intracellular symbiont that converts mimesis into magical power.

 My temporary name is Mitochondria M. I was told by Yukikaze that it exists.
 I was told by Yukikaze that it exists.

 It's a symbiote that converts magnesium into magic power, a substance that is only found in the magical world. Even if you bring in an Earth creature that doesn't have it, the lack of magic power makes it weak in the race for survival in this world. In fact, the Earthling investigators have undergone modifications that enable them to use a minimum amount of magical elements.

 I explained.



 'Don't give up, I've found a way out.

'No, I think we can apply it. There are many Earth-like creatures on this world. I've found water chestnuts, clams and tanishes. I also found a water chestnut that's resistant to cold weather, so it could be a good source of food for the marshy northern regions. The magic nucleus tanishanish is also a good source of protein, although it's not very productive.

I see, there are many wetlands in our country, but they are hardly used. Water chestnuts are high in carbohydrates and wetlands don't overlap with conventional crop fields. We'll have fewer people starving! As long as it's still difficult to find a new continent, it's the best we have at present.''

'I'm not giving up on the field crop either, buckwheat noodles. 'We're not giving up on the field crop, either,' he said. It is more resistant to disease than rye. It comes from Central Asia, and if you're in a knightly kingdom that borders the central continent, you might be able to find it. I'll deliver it to you when I find it, I'll give you the water chestnut or anything else I've already found first.''

'It would help if we could find it! The volcanic ashes of our country are spread shallowly over the surface of the flaming prison island, and the soil underneath is very hard. The roots of even rye cannot grow deep and often fall over, so much of the land is abandoned. But light and short buckwheat.

"Ryota, I'm asking you to do the same.
"....buckwheat noodles........can also be used for beekeeping.......Ryota........do your best......

 After that, I promised Douma that I would research the salvation of this world's food and cultivation research. Other than that, we also studied the relationship between the concentration of magnesium in the ground and plants. The Goddess also promised to give me a scavenger slime that she had genetically adjusted to improve the soil.

'I have a glimmer of hope. Ryota-san, I don't like to be left in the debt of gratitude, so if you need anything, you can always count on me!''

 Goddess was right, he used to be a very nice young man. Goddess, please don't tell me you were wrong about Doma-kun, okay? I send eye contact with him.

'I'll be going to Fafnal to investigate, so take care of me then.

 After a firm handshake, Douma returned to the embassy with a souvenir.

He said, "Ryota, I can't say for what, but I am grateful. Thank you.

"....Doma-kun... will not violate... the propagation of technology... and we'd like to thank you... for making Pina and Hasty... our regular local contractors... upgraded... with the use of equipment... and the development of... new equipment...

 As long as the goddesses get well, there's no need to thank or thank me. But I'm grateful, so I'll accept it.

 And after having Pina and Hasty do the official contract, it's finally time to head to the Southern Knights country.



A place in Japan

"I said I wanted a land combat drone for Ryota, but now I think it would be better to make equipment for Hasty and Pina. I think Ryota is better suited to fighting with his friends.
