　Five days have passed since Dolly and Tamamo arrived. Today is the day to plant seeds in the forest space. It's a nice change of pace for me, since I've been feeling a little down lately from the daily raids on the undead nests.

"Dolly. I'm going to plant some seeds, is there anything I should be aware of?"

"As long as you keep the trees spaced apart, you should be fine. Show the seeds to the tamamos and they will tell you where to plant them.

"Is that so? Come on, Tamamo.

"Coo!"

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

　Mm. That's a strong answer. Sounds promising.

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

"Okay, Belle. Rain. Tulle. You heard him. Your job today is to show the seeds to Tamamo and plant them where he tells you to plant them. Let's go for it."

"I'll do my best."

"I'll do my best."

　Everyone is full of energy. By the way, the Great Spirits are on a field trip. They want the kids to do their best on their own. I felt like I was one of them, but I let it pass with an open mind. There is no need for tactless anger on a green day.

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

　Let's get started. First, I take out the packet of seeds and spread it in front of Tamamo. Tamamo is eagerly checking the seeds and checking the space. Are you thinking about what to plant where?

　Bell. Lane. Tulu is looking at the seeds from behind Tamamo's back and nodding his head, but I wonder if he knows what he's doing. All I know is that there are seeds of all sizes.

"Coo!"

"Oh. Are we done?"

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

　Tamamo nodded, so we decided to give it a try. I pick up one of the seeds and show it to Tamamo, who runs and taps her paws on the soil.

　......Something unusual to see. Belle, Rain, Tulu, Tamamo, they all fly in the air when they move, so this might be the first time I saw them moving normally on the ground.

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

　No, when Tulu was messing around in the dirt, was he walking?　I don't recall because I didn't pay attention to how they moved. I wonder how it was?　I'm subtly curious.

"Cu."

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

"Oh, sorry, Tamamo. You're going to plant it there."

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

　I was thinking about it, and Tamamo urged me to do it. I dig a hole with a small shovel. Put the seed in and cover it lightly with soil.

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

"Looks about right. Can you guys do it?"

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

　I'd ask, but it's so easy, it shouldn't be a problem. The only problem is that there are a lot of seeds, so it might take a while.

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

I can do it.

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

"Cue cue."

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

I can do it.

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

"Okay. Let's begin."

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

　Bells and whistles rush to the tamamos with seeds in their hands. This must be the hardest part for the tamamos.

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

"Look. You guys. There's only one tamamo, so take your turn. We've got time, so let's take it easy."

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

　When I call out to them, they decide on their turn and ask Tamamo to show them the way. They are good kids.

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

　As I watch them, I see how dexterously they plant seeds. Belle cuts away the soil with the wind and puts the seeds back in. Rain pushes a swirl of water against the ground, cutting the soil and making a hole. It looks like a drill. Tulu is the spirit of the soil. A hole appears to open on its own, and when a seed is put into the hole, the soil appears to return on its own.

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

　I should plant some seeds too. I think they used to grow seeds in another place and replant them in the ground in Japan, but I don't know if that's possible .......

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

　I don't think the other place is much different from this place to begin with. I guess they can do it because of their facilities. I'll just have to rely on the spirits.

　Ugh. My back is stiff. My body is supposed to be stronger with the level-up, but it seems I'm still not at the right level yet. We took a break in between, but it took us until well past noon to finish what we started in the morning.

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

　Belle and the others seemed to be enjoying their work from start to finish. Come to think of it, I wonder what kind of physical strength the spirits have?　At least half a day of gardening?　I can't say for sure.

"Whew, I'm done!"

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

　As I announced the end of my work, Tamamo flew over to me and started cooing and cooing. What is it?　Rain is in the direction Tamamo is pointing.

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

"He wants you to give him some water!"

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

"Oh, yeah. Thank you, Belle. Rain, ask Tamamo to water them.

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

　He nodded and did as Tamamo instructed, launching a ball of water from the fountain. A fox giving instructions to a dolphin. It's a rare sight, isn't it?

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

"Good work, Yuta. That looked like a lot of work.

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

"Yes, it is. It would have been faster and easier if Sylphy and the others had helped us.

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

"Ha-ha-ha. If you want to move the Great Spirit without a contract, you have to think a little more about what you're doing.

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

　Well, yes, but it's also embarrassing to ask for something you can do on your own with such a blatant exchange.

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

"I'll see if I can find a way to do it without embarrassment."

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

I look forward to hearing how you do it. Oh, by the way, we can make the fields grow a little, can't we?　Are you going to try it later?"

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

"Yes. But I'll check again first. Hey, Dory. I'm thinking of having the tamamo magic work on the vegetables in the field, is that okay?"

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

"Yes, I don't think it will be a problem. But, as I said before, do not let them grow too fast so as not to rob the soil of its strength, but a little bit every day.

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

　I'm tempted to let them grow all at once, but it would be hard if the soil dies.

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

"Tamamo knows what he's doing, and Tulu is with him. Nomos will get angry if we do anything strange.

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

"Hmm. Don't worry. If you do something stupid under the circumstances, I'll leave you alone and not get angry.

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

　That's tougher. You've been doing a lot of work on the soil behind my back, and I can't betray you.

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

"We can't let them leave us behind. I'll ask Tamamo to be more careful.

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

"If I can get Tulu to tell him, it won't be a problem."

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

　I see. If the spirit of the earth and the spirit of the forest decide, it's okay for both of them.

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

I agree. I'll ask Tulu to do it.

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

"Yuta. I'm done."

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

　You've finished watering while we were talking. Next stop, the fields.

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

"Belle. Thank you for letting me know.

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

　I hold Belle in my arms as she jumps into the water and heads for Rain and the others. Belle seemed to remember where she had planted her seeds and told me where and what kind of seeds she had planted. That's amazing. I don't remember where I planted anything at all.

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

"Thank you, guys. I have one more job in the field, is that okay?"

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

　He cheerfully said yes, and we headed out to the field.

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

"I need you to enchant the tamamos, but I don't want them to grow too fast for the soil, so I need you to talk to Tulu and see if you can enchant them for me."

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'll tell you what."

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

　After the two of them cooed and cooed at each other, he turned to look at me.

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

"If you've decided, you can start.

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

　The vegetable glowed dimly and a third leaf sprouted from the middle of the two leaves.

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

"Oh! That's great, Tamamo. Now we're one step closer to having vegetables on the table. Thank you."

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

　He responded cheerfully, so I patted him on the head. Belle, Rain, and Tulu have also gathered around, and I pet them. Lately, I feel that I am happiest when I am petting a child, a dolphin, and a fox cub.

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

　At this rate, I'm going to start to feel like a father even though I don't have a wife. Now that I'm in another world, I'd like to have a few beautiful wives, if not a harem, but until then, will I be able to keep this paternal feeling in check?

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

　I am happy with my children's happiness. I can see him saying, "Their happiness is my happiness. I'll do some research on whether bigamy is possible in this world, and try to be strong. It's too early to wither away. I'm ambitious.

"Queue?"

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

　Oops, I guess I stopped stroking. Rain's looking at me like it's the end. Of course I won't stop.

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

　I'm not going to stop you, of course.

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

　After stroking Bell and the others, I finished dinner and called Nomos to tell him I had something important to tell him.

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

"What's so important? What's going on?"

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

"Yeah, I want to talk about the nightlife of this world."

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

"......What are you suddenly saying with a serious face?　Are you all right?　There are no churches in the land of the dead, so you can't even cure them, can you?"

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

　Come to think of it, the church has a monopoly on healing magic. Even if they don't have a monopoly, there's no one in the land of the dead, so it's impossible to heal them anyway.

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

"No. I'm serious. I've been feeling a little bit like your father lately. I need to spark some male desire, or I'm in a lot of trouble."

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

"What's that? And you're going to let a great spirit of the earth talk about manners and customs?"

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

"That's not what I meant. Do you think there's anyone else besides Nomos who can listen?　Sylphy. DEANE. What would happen to me if I asked Dolly?"

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

No, well, that's true. Hmm. I can't help it. But I only know by hearsay. Is that all right?

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

This is it. I just need to know what kind of place it is."

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

　I don't think the Great Spirits of the Earth go to the s*x trade.

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

"I've heard that in the capital and the towns where adventurers gather, there are more s*x services. As I recall, there are many high-class establishments in King's Landing. The towns where adventurers gather are well paid and there are many people who have too much money and there are districts where brothels gather.

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

　There are adventurers after all. And there are places like brothels ...... to worry about. You don't seem to know the details of the brothel, should we ask the race?　No, let's save the race for when we get to town. But I have to ask you this.

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

"Hey, Nomos. Are there succubus in this world?"

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

Hm?　I believe there is a race of succubus among the demons.

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

　Good. I don't know if we'll ever meet a succubus, but if there are succubus, I'd like to make it one of my goals to meet one.

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

"Demons. ...... What kind of relationship do humans have with demons?"

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

"It's normal to have a relationship. Where there is strife, there is strife. Where they get along, they get along. That's all.

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

　There is no hostility between the demon tribe and the human tribe? Well... there wouldn't be wars everywhere. I'm sure we'll meet a succubus if we try hard enough.

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

"Thank you Nomos. You've really got me fired up."

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

"Mm-hmm. But don't get too excited."

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

　I'm not getting excited right now. Let's keep this spirit in our hearts and live life to the fullest now. Thank you, Nomos.
