　The day has finally come for me to accomplish the feat of planting a plant seed in the land of the dead, a feat that would make other people wonder if I was crazy enough to hear about it.

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

　This is just the land of the dead. I have plant seeds, so why don't we plant them?　They dug a well, built a rock enclosure, and created fertilizer. It is a feat that they have achieved through their own efforts.

　And the seeds were brought to us by Belle and Rain who worked so hard. I'm thinking. I'm intensely moved.

"Hey, Yuta. What's wrong with you? Weren't you supposed to plant the seed?"

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

"Oh, I'm sorry Sylphy. I'm sorry Sylphie. I was just touched to think that you went through so much trouble to get to the point where you could bury the plant seeds.

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

Oh, yeah. I know. Yuta worked hard. But this is where the real work begins. Plant the seeds, grow them, and eat them. Right?"

　Why is Sylphy saying nice things with a semi-convinced look on her face?　Well, okay. Sylphy's not wrong. It's just a matter of time.

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

"It was. We have to eat. We have to grow them and eat them to make all this work worthwhile."

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

Yeah, yeah. You'll be rewarded.

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

"You'll be rewarded!"

Cue.

"Okay. Let's plant the seeds. Nomos. Tulu. Tell me what to do.

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

"Oh, dear. What a travesty of justice. I thought we were gonna lose the day. Come on, Tulu. Make four ridges and bury the rest as you see fit.

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

　Oh, shit. The temperature difference between me and Nomos is widening endlessly. Tulu stepped forward and waved his hand in the air, and the earth moved. Four rows of soil were formed.

"Tulu! How do I plant the seeds?"

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

"I put one seed about the depth of the first joint of my finger. All that's left is to cover it lightly with soil.

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

"I see. Thank you. Now let's plant the seeds!

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

　So we all decided to plant seeds. Me. Sylphie. Deanne. Belle. Rain. NOMOS. TULU. Each plants a seed. I'm glad they didn't tell me I couldn't plant seeds because I didn't sign a contract.

　Belle and Rain are so happy that they are staring at the place where they planted their seeds.

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

"Belle. Rain. They won't sprout right away if you stare at them. There are still a lot of seeds. Help me."　

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

Yes, sir.

Cue.

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

"Hey, Yuta. When will the eyes be ready?"

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

"Hmm?　When?　NOMOS. Do you understand?"

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

"Hmm. I'm not a specialist, so I can't say for sure, but the seeds I'm burying now should sprout in about four or five days. In the right place it would be a little earlier, but here it will be a little later.

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

　I guess it's hard to compete with a proper place. Well, let's be happy that the seed has reached the point where it can be planted.

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

"Belle. They should sprout in four or five days. I'm looking forward to it."

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

"I'm so excited!"

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

　Everyone plants the seeds one by one with all their hearts. There were about a hundred seeds of each kind, so there were four kinds. About 400 seeds were planted by everyone. After finishing, I asked Lane to sprinkle water on the seeds to moisten them.

"Okay. Today is a happy day. It may not be a fancy meal, but let's all eat sweets from other worlds.

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

"It's okay, Yuta. Isn't it precious food?

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

Ha-ha-ha. Thanks to you all, we've almost planted the seeds. We'll only be able to eat a little of it, but we'll share it with the others.

"Funny."

"Otherworldly treats. I'm kind of curious.

　What shall we serve this time?　Let's make a chocolate candy that resembles a small branch that is packaged in small portions. They're full of them, so we'll put away half of them, even though it's a little bit expensive.

　Get out the big rock table, boil water and put it in a big bowl. Then, tea bags are thrown into it. I never thought I would make tea before coffee. However, in another world, it is not easy to make tea from tea bags.

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

　I get out seven mugs and pour the tea into them. It's hard to pour tea from a cup. Next time, I'll make a teapot or something like that. But out of wood.

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

　The tea bags are still usable, so I'll put them away. How many times can I reuse them?　I'll reuse it until it stops smelling.

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

"Oh, so they have tea in other worlds."

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

There's tea in this world, too. This is just a simple way to make it, so it may not be as good as the original, but give me a break."

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

　I miss the fact that I have no idea what it's like because I don't remember drinking tea brewed in the original way. But there is tea. Then, if I can enjoy tea freely, I can use tea bags relatively easily.

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

　Now comes the main course, chocolate. I left half of the Sekolah so you can enjoy it a little.

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

"Is this a candy from another world?　Can I eat it?"

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

"Oh, Belle, wait a minute."

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

　I was just about to answer Sylphy's question when Belle was about to put the whole package in her mouth.

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

"Belle. Wait a minute. You can't eat this because it's a bag. You have to open it like this to eat what's inside. I'll open one for you. Rain, wait a minute."

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

"Like this. ...... Yuta. Is this edible?　Some kind of black stick?　I don't know..."

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

"I guess there's no chocolate in this world. It's a popular candy where I'm from. I think it's delicious."

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

　If there is no chocolate, it might take courage to eat it. Both Sylphy and Dine are hesitant to try it. I'm sure they would enjoy it if they ate it, but it would be difficult if they didn't eat it.

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

"Yuta. Is this good?

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

　Belle is holding a pastry and tilting her head cocked.

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

"I love this candy. You don't have to eat it if it's too much for you.

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

"If Yuta likes it, Beru likes it too."

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

　With these words, Belle put a piece of chocolate in her mouth. I don't understand the logic behind this, but I appreciate Belle's courage. Everyone, including me, looks at Belle, whose mouth is smooching.

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

"Oh, sweet!　Yuta. Yummy!"

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

　Belle exclaims with a big smile on her face. She likes it. That's good. I believed in the quality of Japanese sweets, but I didn't think about the appearance. The first chocolate with the little branches was probably the hardest part...

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

"Cu-cu-cu."

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

"Ah. Sorry Rain. I'll open it now. Here you go."

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

　He opened the bag of chocolates, put it in his palm and put it in front of Rain's mouth, which he bit into without hesitation.

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

"Cue cue. Cue cue."

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

"Ha-ha-ha. Was it good?"

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

　Rain nodded yes. He liked it.

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

"Belle. Rain. Is it that good?"

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

"Delicious. I love you, Belle!"

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

"Yes. I'll try it, too.

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

　Deanne enthusiastically puts a piece of chocolate in her mouth. Deanne eats it with a snap. Her half-eaten portion reveals her fear.

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

"Oh my. This is delicious. Crunchy, rich, sweet with a hint of bitterness. I can't get enough!"

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

　The anxious look on Deanne's face quickly turns into a smile. She puts the other half in her mouth, puts her hand on her cheek and smiles happily. She is very beautiful when you see her like this.

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

"Yes, it's true. It's so delicious."

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

　Before I knew it, Sylphy was eating it, too. She likes it. Oh. Tulu's nodding her head and eating it too. He seems to like it.

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

"Hmm. I don't think it's bad, but I don't like it.

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

"Ah, Nomos doesn't like sweets. I'm sorry."

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

"Don't worry about it. It's a rare treat for me, and I'm grateful."

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

Nomos. If you won't eat it, I'll eat it for you.

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

"Beru ga tabe ga tabe!"

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

"Cue cue."

　Sylphy was about to eat the rest of the nomos when Belle and Rain joined the party.

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

"In this kind of thing, children come first."

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

　With that, Nomos tossed the remaining three bottles into the mouths of Belle, Rain, and Tulu. What a cool solution! Nomos is the man.

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

　Now I have to eat mine. As I put the chocolate in my mouth and bite into it, I feel a rush of sweetness that I haven't felt in a long time. I haven't had any luxury food for quite a while, so the chocolate is very strong.

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

　While I was soaking in the afterglow of the chocolate, I was pulled by Rain. He wanted me to open the bag.

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

"I'll open it right now."

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

　He opens the bag and presents it to Rain, who immediately bites into it. I look at Rain, who seems to enjoy the taste. Is chocolate really safe for dolphins to eat?　...... Well, you know what? It's not a dolphin, it's a genie, so it's okay.

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

"That was delicious!

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

"Yes, it is. It was very good."

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

　Deane and Sylphy smile happily. Everyone seems happy except Nomos, so I'm glad I got him out. I still have some of my favorite sweets left, so I'll bring them out at each occasion.

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

"Sorry about Nomos. I'm sorry about Nomos..." "Well, does Nomos like to drink?"

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

　I think he likes to drink because he looks like a dwarf, but I don't know.

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

"Sake!　Is there an otherworldly drink?"

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

Sake!

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

"Sake!"

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

　Not only Nomos, but also Sylphy and Dine were biting. Do spirits like to drink?

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

"Yes, I do. My main goal at the moment is to make a contract with Sylphy. When I can make a contract, I'll serve him a drink from my hometown as a celebration."

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

"Hmm. I look forward to it. Yuta, do your best.

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

"Yuta. You don't mind if I have a drink with you, do you?

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

"Yuta. Since you're signing a contract with me, I can drink too, right?"

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

"It's a bottle. It's only a few drinks for the four of us, but we'll drink it together."

　If I release all the sake without being stingy, they might be happy, but I plan to live a long life, and it would be hard to run out of Japanese goods. I want to keep as much as I can as a good-luck charm.

　Three of the Great Spirits whisper to each other. The words that come out are subtle and noisy. They sound something like this.

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

　Sylphie. Don't bring any more spirits. You'll lose your share. I already talked to Dory. What's ...... going to be five people? Yuta was interested in the spirit of life too. Hmm. He won't be here for a while. The fire spirit will come, too, won't he?　We'll stop them.

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

　The alcohol will deny us access to the spirits who might be able to help us. When I told him that if he does that, there will be no alcohol, he said he was joking, but I'm worried.
