　A great spirit of the forest and a lowly spirit of the forest have joined the group. It won't be long before vegetables are on the menu.

"I don't mean to sound so self-centered, but I'm planning to enjoy the other world, so I'm sure I'll only really be exploring it in small doses," he said. Are you sure?"

"Hmm. If you are willing to make some progress, that's fine. Besides, you'll do me a favor to some extent, won't you?"

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

"I don't have a problem with you asking me for favors, but please don't ask me to do anything unreasonable."

I won't ask you to do anything rash. I heard that you have a great magic bag, so it would be enough if you could make a contract with Sylphy and bring back some humus and beneficial insects when you go to the Vigorous Forest. If you can afford it, please bring back some animals as well."

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

　That's about right. I don't know if we can store the beneficial insects in the magic bag, but we can put them in a bag and take them home. Can the animals go to ......?　Well, let's think about it when the forest environment is ready.

"I think we can do that much. It depends on Sylphy's cooperation.

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

I wouldn't mind that much either.

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

Then that's not a problem. I'm looking forward to working with you.

It's nice to meet you too. Oh, yes. This is a serious matter, so please don't get mad at me. When can we eat the sprouted plants?　I also heard that the spirits of the forest have the power to speed up the growth of plants. If I can make a contract with the fox cub, will they exercise this power?"

"I know you need food, so I won't be offended. First of all, those vegetables can be harvested in about thirty days. He can use the magic to speed up the growth, but he is still weak and it would be better if he could shorten the harvest time by half.

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

　Oh, wow. Thirty days. Or 15 days and vegetables on the table. I'm getting excited.

"However, I don't recommend using magic in the fields now. The soil is not in balance due to the harsh environment, and rapid growth will rob the soil of its strength. It is better to allow the soil to acclimatize a little more.

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

　The magic of growth is not going to allow for an immediate harvest. From what I've heard, Dolly can be harvested the same day if the soil is balanced.

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

"From the way the soil looks, I'd say that after about five more days of growing, it should be okay to use a little bit of magic. If we can get her to use a little magic every day, we may finally be able to harvest five to ten days earlier.

"That alone would help a lot. I'm a little nervous because I haven't been eating vegetables at all.

　I eat seaweed, but I doubt that's all I need. Seaweed doesn't have many calories, right?　What about nutrition?　I also heard that it contains iodine or something like that. ...... What is iodine anyway? I'm worried.

"Please work with her and do your best. You'll be able to eat delicious vegetables. Then will you make a contract with her?

"I'd be delighted."

　I looked at the little foxes, and before I knew it, in addition to Belle, Rain, and Tulu, Dine and Sylphy had joined in on the mooching. I wonder if it's safe.

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

"Belle. I'd like to make a contract with her.

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

"Yes, sir."

　Belle flies in with a fluffy little fox in her arms. ...... A little girl and a little fox cub. I'm going to have as many followers as a little girl and a dolphin. I regret that I can't get a signal on my phone.

"Well, you look a little tired, are you okay?"

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

　I'd like to mooch too, but I'm not comfortable mooching on a small animal whose fur seems to have lost some of its luster.

"Coo."

　The vixen nodded weakly. Are you sure it's okay?

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

"Belle. Let her go."

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

"Yes."

　Belle is a very good listener. The fox cub floats up to my eyes. Her dull eyes fixed on me. I love her pinpoint triangular ears. I'll have to think of a name for her.

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

　Hmm. I'm thinking of a fox cub, a spirit of the forest. Fox...... what do you call a fox cub?　Was it Little Fox?　It would be difficult to use it as a name. Forest is Forest or ...... which is also hard to name.

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

　A name about a fox would be good. I can only think of sky fox or sky fox or nine-tailed fox or ...... Tamamo. Tamamo...... sounds cute, but it is a fox. But she's going to be a very beautiful .......

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

"It's decided. Your name is Tamamo. It's the name I got from the most famous fox in my country. What do you think?"

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

"Cu."

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

　He's accepted. We have a deal. I'm a little bit tempted, but I'll do my best to make her a good girl. In this world, Tamamo should be the name of a good fox.

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

"So we have a contract. Please be a good friend to her.

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

"Yes. We're going to live together. We're like family. Hey. Tumamo."

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

　When I asked him, he cooed and licked my cheek. Oh, man. Rain and Tamamo are too destructive.

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

"Hmm. Family. I hope they have a good bond. Now, Tamamo, come here."

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

　Dolly calls Tamamo up to her.

"The lowly spirit I brought here made a pact. We can at least celebrate. Tamamo. This is a celebration of the contract. It contains seeds of various trees and grasses. Talk with Yuta and do your best."

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

"Coo-ooh!"

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

　Tamamo happily holds a package about the size of my two fists and wags her tail. So cute. But this celebration was prepared in advance in anticipation of the lack of plants.

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

　I guess the celebration is a way out of the penalty. It's a big relief not to have to deal with the situation in front of Dolly. I hug Tamamo when she comes back and ask Dolly a question.

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

"Dolly. Is it safe to put this seed here right away?"

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

"I just saw that the soil is not well acclimated. It would be better to moisten it with water and give it time for about five days.

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

"Okay. Tamamo, do you mind if I keep these seeds?"

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

"Coo."

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

　Yes. So I guess it's all good. I'll put it away. All right, let's go back. But the contracted spirits are a little girl, a dolphin, a boy, and a fox cub. ...... It's chaotic.

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

　I'm not sure what to do.

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

"Yuta. I'm glad you got the contract. Shall we go to the next level?

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

　Sylphy asks happily. Well, it's still mid-morning, so we have time. But Sylphy likes battle-related events even though she's not going to fight herself.

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

"Ah, yes. But first we have to see how well Tamamo can fight.

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

"Oh ...... sorry, Yuta. Tamamo is still a low grade spirit, so she can't fight if there is no green around her.

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

"Is that so?"

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

"Cu."

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

　I don't like it. Tamamo's depressed.

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

"Tamamo. Don't be depressed. We could use all the help we can get growing plants. And when we get to town, we'll be close to nature, and you can help us then."

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

　As if my words had changed his mind, he looked up and wagged his tail as if to say "I'll do my best. Is it that simple?

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

"Okay. Let's go level up. You stay here and keep an eye on the fields. Please."

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

"Coo!"

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

　I feel like he's saying, "I got it. It's going to be okay.

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

"Okay. Come on, Tamamo. I've got a few things to discuss, so you go play with Bell and the others. Your buddies who have a contract with me. Belle, Rain, Tulu. Take care of Tamamo."

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

Yes, sir.

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

"...... touch."

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

　The spirits, who had been watching the tamamos from a distance because they were in the middle of a discussion, got permission and came charging in. But was Tulu a Mohler?

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

"Tamamo has only just arrived. Don't be too rash."

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

　Belle and Rain's cheery replies are conversely worrisome. I hope I'm not being too hard on them. We see the spirits running away and return to our discussion.

"So, Sylphy. So, Sylphie, we're going to the den of demons, aren't we? Tell me what to look out for and what kind of monsters are there.

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

Yes, that's right. The first one we'll go to is a small nest, so there won't be many demons. The nest is controlled by a skeleton knight, so it's mainly skeletons except for the zakos.

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

"Hmm?　Skeleton knight?　Is it the main body?　I don't understand. Can you elaborate on that?"

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

　Sylphy explained it to me. They are the same undead, so their ranks seem to be the same.

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

　Soldier. Sifu. Archer. Mage. Knight. General. King. It seems to depend on the experience of the person during his/her lifetime. In the case of a skeleton, a rich man can take the place of a king. Also, they say that Thief is not good against zombies, so you don't have to be careful.

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

　The main body is that the strongest demon gathers monsters of the same kind to rule, so the upper level is often unified. However, the king and rich class have other demons of the same kind under their control and form a huge horde.

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

"I understand roughly. But how do you know who is in control of the nest?

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

I am the Great Spirit of the Wind. If there is air and I can make the wind blow, I know most things. It's hard to know if you're too deep, because you can't sneak the wind around. But you can rest assured that I've checked most of the nests."

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

"When have you ever checked something like that?"

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

"When I'm leveling up or when I have free time. I used to avoid the nests when I guided Yuta to them, so I knew where they were. I also looked at the inside of the nests, so I know most of the areas around here.

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

　I guess I made you go through a lot of trouble without realizing it. I had no idea. I'm not in Sylphy's good graces anymore. I don't think I ever was.

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

"And a word of caution. Yuta's weapon is too powerful. You don't want to be buried alive, do you?"

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

　Surely, a hammer smack in a subterranean space is scary. Maybe I should switch to a survival knife.　But it's easier to smash the undead.

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

"Can't we manage to bury them alive if we have Tulu?"

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

"We'll make it if we can get there in time. If we get there in time.

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

I'll be careful.

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

Hmm. Well, I'd better get going."

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

　Nest attack. It's all right for leveling up.
