"Well, from this feeling, even if [parallel processing] is possible, does it depend on the person who can speak the Eastern language?"

"Yes, Brother Ars. I've given it some time since then, and it seems that some people learn quickly and others slowly."

"Why is that?　If [parallel processing] can be done, at least learning should be more efficient, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think Brother Ars misunderstands [parallel processing].　It only allows you to be aware of more than one thing at the same time. It doesn't make you smarter if you can do [parallel processing].

"Oh, I see. I don't know if this is the right way to put it, but it doesn't matter how many dumb people you have, you're not going to get the smartest brains."

　He and Kyle traveled east to Valiant, where they gave the surname Reed to dozens of people who wanted to return.

　This gave those dozens the ability to [parallel processing], and I ordered them to use it to learn the language of the East.

　I was hoping that they would eventually be able to interpret.

　However, after a short interval, when I came back to the variant again, I realized something.

　It turned out that the speed of learning the language was quite different, even though I had been named by Kyle at the same time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fastest ones were able to talk with the locals of the variant at least a little, if not a lot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ones who could not, however, were not able to do so at all.

　This may be partly because they were not motivated and skipped their studies.

　But more than that, [parallel processing] was not as universal as I had thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, that may be true.

　I'm not particularly smart myself.

　Even if there were 10 of me, if I were to compete in a brain game with a group of 10 Kyle's, I would probably lose out.

　Being able to think at the same time is efficient, but it does not make you smarter.

　But even so, I think anyone can speak if he or she tries hard enough.

　The reason why we cannot do so is, I think, a fundamental problem of motivation.

　How can we motivate those who do not study well?

"Then why don't you try to let those who are behind in their studies learn through something they want to do?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Through what you want to do?　What do you mean, Kyle?"

You know, I used to teach students in a school in Vulcania.　Basically, if you do it, you can do it. There are some who can't, but if you teach them in relation to what you are interested in, they often become able to do it."

"Hmmm, that's not how it works."

　Certainly, I have heard stories of people learning foreign languages through anime.

　I think I have also heard that language acquisition is accelerated through communication with the opposite s*x.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, if you make friends with the opposite s*x here, you may not want to go back to your hometown.

　Is there anything that might be of interest to you?

"Oh, then maybe you can help him learn how to grow rice, Brother Ars."

"How to grow rice?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. Most of the people who come here used to be farmers. I'm interested in it.　I thought it might be easier to learn our language through farming. Besides, you said you wanted someone who could grow rice at Mr. Vargas' place."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. I know we're at the foot of the mountains, but I remember there were rice paddies here. The last time I was here, it was in the middle of winter and there was snow on the ground, so I didn't know. So you want me to learn how to grow rice from the people here, and learn their language while I'm at it.

　Would it work?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, surprisingly, there are not that many words used in agriculture.

　Even though wheat and rice are grown in different ways, you may be able to learn to do the work just by helping with the physical labor, even if you don't speak the language perfectly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And while you're at it, you might as well ask them to learn not only how to grow rice, but also how to make sake with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, I can't be studying sake making with Vargas all the time.

<<...... method. This is another nice rice plant. Each grain is large and firm. And the number of grains per bunch is large. This must be better rice than what we have been growing.

<<< You're right, you know exactly what I'm talking about. This is a new variety of Barca rice that my brother Kyle and I have been working on over there. Try growing rice in some of the fields with it. And if you can, try to make sake with some of the rice you harvested.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

<<< As expected of you, Mr. Ars. You can even produce good rice like this. I see. I will put all my heart and soul into growing this Barka rice that Master Ars gave me.

　Charlotte's man had told me how to grow rice before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have a piece of paper that summarizes the method.

　Already, with that in mind, Vargas has begun to grow rice in the rice paddies he has created by reclaiming the marshland.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it would be possible to have them grow rice here as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ease of growing rice may differ depending on the land, and above all, people here should be accustomed to growing rice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if those who are taught to grow rice can't speak the language, they will be able to find new jobs at Vargas' place if they can learn how to grow rice.

　Then he could live as a farmer with a farmland in the territory of Valles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It might be more motivating than just learning the language.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I also offered to grow Barca rice in Valianto, so that those who wanted to return could learn how to farm.
