　As soon as I woke up and stowed the rock that served as the bedroom door, Belle and Rain rushed toward me, as if they were waiting for me. I rushed to catch them in my arms and ask them what was wrong, but before I could do so, an excited Belle spoke up.

"Yuta. You know what? My eyes came out!"

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

"Cue."

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

　I see. That's why Belle and Rain are so excited.

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

"Belle moaned and Rein moaned."

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

"Cue."

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

"Great. I'm going to have to go see it right away."

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

Come on!

"Cue."

　Belle pulls me by the hand, and Rain pushes me back toward the field. When they arrived at the field, they found Dine. Nomos. Tulu was also looking at the field.

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

"Ah! Yuta, good morning! Your seedlings have sprouted!

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

"Oh. That's not bad growth."

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

"...... found it."

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

Good morning, everybody. Let me have a look."

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

　I looked at the field and saw a small but striking green. In a place with no vegetation at all, it was small but very noticeable. I crouch down and observe it as closely as possible.

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

　The thin, translucent stem and the two small, slightly separated leaves are adorable. When was the last time you were moved by growing plants?　I was so happy when morning glories bloomed. Maybe since elementary school.

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

"Yeah. Yeah. There are definitely plants growing in the fields of the land of the dead.

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

"Yuta. This is it. Belle made it.

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

"Cue cue."

　Belle and Rain proudly show me the sprouts from the seeds they buried. I patted them around with great joy, including the pleasure of seeing them germinate.

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

"But they really germinated, didn't they?

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

　I had hoped that they would germinate, but I was surprised when they actually did. Nothing really grows in this land.

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

"It's because of your hard work, Yuta. I think you are the first person in a long time to make the dead land grow green all by himself.

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

"That's right. Those of us who tried to cultivate the land on a large scale barely reaped a meager harvest. You can be proud of yourselves.

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

"...... great."

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

　DINE. NOMOS. Tulu gives me a compliment. That's pretty nice.

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

Hmm?　Speaking of which, where's Sylphy?"

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

　Usually, he's quick to praise me.

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

"As soon as he saw the sprouts, he went to get the spirit of the forest. It's a tough environment and I don't know if it will grow like that. He didn't want to kill it right away."

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

　Uh-huh. Sylphy has been a great help to me. I'd like to thank you, but I can't think of anything but ...... booze. Let's see if there's anything else we can do to make her happy.

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

"Oh, yeah. Thanks. When are you coming back?"

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

"Hmm. I don't know exactly what they'll be like, but I'm sure they'll be back before noon."

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

Yes, it is. Sylphy was very enthusiastic, so it might be sooner.

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

　I'm glad Sylphie was happy to see you. It makes me happy to be honest.

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

"By the way, Rain. Have you finished watering?"

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

"Cuey."

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

　Rain shakes his head.

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

"If I hit the buds directly with a drop of water, it might break them, so can you water them with a mist like you did before?"

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

"Cue."

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

　I'm nodding my head, so I guess it's okay. The other seeds are not germinating yet, so there is still a lot to look forward to.

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

　After Rain finishes watering, we have breakfast with Belle, Rain, and Tulu. The seafood is the same as usual, but the vegetables are getting more realistic, which makes me more excited.

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

　If the spirit of the forest comes, we may be able to get them to grow rapidly. Then there will be green vegetables for dinner!　I'm starting to look forward to it.

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

　After the meal, I look around the field again, and Belle tells me that Sylphy is on her way. She's early. I'll meet her in front of the field. I spot Sylphy and give a big wave.

"I'm home. Yuta.

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

"Welcome home, Sylphie. Thanks for picking me up so quickly. Are you the spirit of the forest?

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

Yes, I am. My name is Dolly.

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

It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Dolly, the Great Spirit of the Forest. This is the junior spirit of the forest who came with me this time. You must be Yuta. I look forward to working with you.

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

　The Great Spirit of the Forest bowing gracefully and fluidly. Straight green hair. Smooth. A fragile beauty smiling with kind eyes. She has the air of a young lady with a deep window.

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

　And the lowly spirit of the forest she's brought with her is also a badass. That's not right. Fluffy, fuzzy fur. Especially the tail. The color of her fur is almost gold and shiny. A fox cub looks up at you with dull eyes. It's so cute, it's almost mocking. I want to hold it.

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

Yuta?

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

"Ah. I'm sorry. My name is Yuta Morizono. Please call me Yuta.

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

"Hmm. You can talk to me in a normal way. Sylphy told me about you. You can call me Dolly and you don't have to use honorifics. I use honorifics out of habit, so don't worry about it.

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

"Oh, yeah. Okay, Dolly. Thanks for coming. I really appreciate it.

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

Tori. There it is again.

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

Cue.

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

"No, no, no. I'm just interested in what Sylphy has to say. Belle. Rain. It's good to see you again. You've been a good servant. That's very impressive.

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

"Heh."

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

Cue.

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

　Oh. Belle and Lane are all over each other. The power of the daughter-in-waiting. Or maybe it's a negative ion effect like the spirits of the forest.

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

　Belle and Rain are intrigued by the fox cubs and charge at them. They hug her, saying she's soft and fluffy. I'm jealous.

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

"Dolly, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

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

　Deanne suddenly appears, hugging Dolly and giving her a cheek-to-cheek hug. Are they good friends?

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

"There you are. We've been waiting for you.

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

　Nomos and Tulu are here, too. Tulu is looking a little uncomfortable, so I lead him toward the fox cubs. Tulu approaches the vixen with trepidation, and slowly enjoys the fluff. I love it.

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

"Deene. Nomos. It's been a long time. I've been fine. I heard about you. I'm glad you guys are having fun.

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

"Uh-oh. It's fun. And now that Dory's here, it's going to be even more fun.

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

"Hmm. I'm never bored."

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

"DOLLY. We'll renew old acquaintances later, but now's a good time to check the fields.　I came here in a hurry because I didn't want it to die."

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

　Oh, right. I forgot the most important thing.

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

"I'm sorry. You're right."

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

　With that, Dolly checks the field, gently touching the buds and checking the soil. I was getting nervous just looking at her.

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

"It's definitely growing well. The soil balance is not very good, but they are also very tolerant of the harsh environment. I'm sure they will grow well.

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

　Oh. Vegetables are just around the corner. I wonder how soon we'll be able to eat them. ...... I was so thrilled that the seeds sprouted just now, but now all I can think about is eating them.

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

"Good. Is there anything I should be aware of?"

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

　I asked him, and after thinking for a moment, he responded.

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

"Even though they are tolerant of harsh environments, they have their limits. Please do not let the soil dry out or become too wet.

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

"I'm asking Lane to do the watering. I'm having her mist the plants with water, can you check on that later?"

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

"Okay. I'll join you."

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

　I have no idea how much water to use, so that's great.

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

I'll take care of it.

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

So, Dory, you think you can stay here?

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

"Yes, I think so. The environment is conducive to vegetation and it is possible to stay. However, this field alone will eventually reach its limits, so we need an environment that can support more plants. There is one more condition, but I will tell you about it when you create an environment where plants can grow.

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

　Oh. Nomos. I'm glad I made space for the forest to grow as you said.

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

"Then Nomos asked me to make space for a forest to grow. Would you check it out?"

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

"Oh, my. You've already done it. That's wonderful.

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

　He leads Dolly to the south side of the base where the forest will be built.

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

"Here it is. It may be small for a forest, but give me a break.

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

"Well, there is a spring in the center. And the soil here is very similar to the soil in the field. It seems to be a little low in microorganisms, but ...... I think we can make it work."

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

　Oh, that's a good response. I mean, if this doesn't work, I don't know what to do. The microorganisms are probably not up to speed yet.

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

"I see. The microorganisms have just been mixed with the soil, so I think they will increase over time. If everything is okay, can you tell me the last condition?"

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

"Yes, that's right. The last condition is that we do not give up the development of this land. Listening to Shilfi's story, I felt that once Yuta-san went to the town, he would not come back easily. Since you have worked so hard, I would like you to continue the pioneering. What do you think?"

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

　I worked hard to build it in the first place. I never intended to give it up, but what do you mean you're not giving up on pioneering?　You can't just throw yourself into pioneering. I want to enjoy the other world too.

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

"Hey, Sylphie. Hey, Sylphie. When you get to town, how long will it take you to get there each way?

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

"Well, I don't know. The nearest town is about three hours away, carrying Yuta. But Bell and the others won't be able to keep up. Well, we can get anywhere on this continent in half a day.

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

　The Great Spirit of the Wind is awesome. Even with me as baggage, you're faster than Belle. But at that speed you can always come back here.

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

Sylphie's amazing!"

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

"Of course. Don't underestimate the Great Spirit of the Wind.

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

　Yeah, I can forgive the smug look on his face. I mean, it's amazing that it only takes half a day to travel within this continent.

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

"Uh, Dory. I don't want to give up this place, but I'm not going to put all my energy into exploring it either. I'm going to enjoy this other world and make up for what it lacks. So the pace will be slow, and I don't think I'll increase the area if I don't have to."

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

"If you don't want to abandon this place and continue to pioneer it, even if in a small way, that's fine. I would be happy to stay here.

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

　The Great Spirit Lady of the Deep Window and the Enchanting Fluffy Vixen Spirit have joined us.
