　We left the labyrinth city and arrived at the forest. Before returning to the land of the dead, we must bring back Sara and Marco's spirit contract and a lot of living soil.

"Hey, Sylphy. Can we take the soil and trees from the forest without permission?"

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

Yes. As long as you don't take it all from one place at once. If you ask Tulu and Tamamo's opinion, you can be sure of that.

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

"Yes, sir. Tulu. Tumamo, I need you to tell me what to do.

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

I'll do my best.

　Tulu shows his motivation by clenching his fists. Tamamo, the spirit of the forest, is also fired up in the forest that is his home. Her cute fluffy tail is also buzzing with enthusiasm.

　I don't think foxes wag their tails. ...... Well, I guess it doesn't matter since they are spirits. Rain is a dolphin, but it flies on land. It's not worth thinking too much about.

"Belle and Rain, you're to guard me and Sara and the others. Sylphy, bring me a floating spirit that Sara and Marco can contract with."

"Goei. Beru ga mamoru no!" Cue cue."

　Belle and Raine thrust their right hands and right fins high in the air and proclaim. They're so reliable. Are they practicing their synchronized gestures?

"You're a floating spirit of wind and earth. Can you ask Sara and Marco if they want to sign up for wind or earth?"

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

"Okay. Well, Sarah and Marco, have you decided whether you want to sign up with the wind or the earth spirits?"

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

We talked about it yesterday. I want to make a contract with an earth spirit.

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

　Oyo?　That's a little unexpected. I thought Marco was a wind spirit since he was interested in flying.

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

"Then Sarah must be the wind spirit. Is that a problem for Sara?"

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

Yes. Yes, I'm fine.

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

"That's what I've been trying to tell you, Sylphie. I'm counting on you.

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

Yeah, I'll be there.

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

　Sylphy watches her fly away.

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

"But I was a little surprised because I thought Marco was going to make a contract with the wind spirit. You wanted to fly, didn't you?"

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

"Yes, but I've heard that earth spirits are the best protectors. I'm going to protect Sara and Kikka."

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

　Oh. You're a man. Marco seems like a hero in this way. Sylphy said that a floating wind spirit can use a wind wall... but a floating spirit's defense is weak... It seems that a floating spirit doesn't have enough power to fight against physical force with wind. Marco... You listened well...

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

Then earth spirits are the right choice.

　I can't help but grimace at Marco's head. The chemomimi is wonderful, it's just a shame that the first person to touch it is a boy. Oh, he shakes my hand off.

"Master. Don't treat me like a child!"

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

　You're a child. You know, that age when you want to act like an adult?　

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

"Oh, sorry, sorry. What kind of beastmen are Marco and Kikka, anyway?　A dog?"

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

"It's not a dog. It's a wolf!"

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

　I see. Wolves. ...... Hmmm. It's hard to tell the difference between a wolf and a dog. But to Marco, it's a big difference. He strongly denied it.

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

"Oh, so it's a wolf. I won't make that mistake again. Well, I'd better go get the dirt. Everyone."

　Following Tulu and Tamamo's instructions, we scoop up the soil with the magic shovel and store it away. As they do so, the shovel is covered with a few insects that did not fit into the magic bag.

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

　There are a lot of insects even though I only scooped a little. The only insects I know are earthworms, but I guess it is a sign of the richness of the forest. I have to take these bugs home with me. I took out the cloth bag I bought at the general store and turned around to ask Marco to help me, only to find a stunned Sara and the others.

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

"What's going on?"

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

　I asked, and Marco reactivated.

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

"Master is a spiritualist, isn't he? How can he lift such a large amount of earth with such a big shovel?　Does being a spiritualist make you stronger?　What's more, why does the shovel change size?　A magical tool?"

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

　I see. I didn't explain the pioneering tools at all. I guess they are more powerful because they are at a higher level, but that doesn't really matter.

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

"The higher your level is, the more powerful you are, but it doesn't matter much in this case. I'll explain the details when things settle down, but for now, please help me here.

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

　He hands Marco a cloth bag and asks him to fill it one-third full of soil. He pours the remaining insects from the shovel into the bag.

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

"Master. Are you going to eat this worm?　I don't think it tastes very good."

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

　Please don't say things that creep me out. I know there are cultures that eat bugs, but I don't want to experience it. Sara and Kikka don't seem to like it either. I'm a little relieved. I'd cry if they said that bugs are a treat in the slums.

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

"I don't eat them. Bugs are important collaborators in making good soil, so we have to keep them."

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

　Sarah and the others nodded ambiguously, as if they understood or not. If you see the land of the dead, you will know what I want to do. For now, I'm going to concentrate on collecting the soil.

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

　Escorted by Belle and Rain, we store soil and wood as instructed by Tulu and Tamamo. If I get enough wood, I want to build a log cabin or something. I don't know how to build it, but will it work?　Or get an introduction to a carpenter?

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

　Hmmm...but I'm worried about the pain of a wood house in such a dead land with so much sun. I hope there is some kind of paint to protect the wood.

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

　It would be better to have a carpenter build the house at first. It is tempting to build a lot of things by yourself, but it would be safer to start with a shed. Even if you have good tools, you can't expect to build a comfortable house out of the box.

　The magic axe will come into play for the first time in thinning. I think a magic saw can easily cut a tree, but if you are going to cut down a tree, you should use an axe.

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

　If you lightly hit the tree with the magic axe to mark the tree, the axe will slide right into the trunk and go right through it.

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

　I think ...... that pioneering tools are so good that they all seem to be the same. What's the difference between an axe, a saw and a survival knife?　Looks?　Is it a matter of mood?

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

　...... Well, okay. Easy is good. A magic bag, a hammer, a chisel, a hacksaw. There are many other tools that are easy to use. You will see the true value of pioneering tools in time. ...... maybe.

　The occasional demon attack is killed by Belle and Rain in an instant, so Sarah and the others, who were scared at first, now don't mind and help me with the work.

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

　On the contrary, how much do you get for killing goblins? How much for killing orcs? How much is this for killing a demon I don't know..." he muttered.

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

"How does Marco know so much about the price of demons?"

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

"I studied because I was planning to become an adventurer when I had enough money to register as an adventurer."

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

　He had been eavesdropping on adventurers by accident. It's amazing that he can even tell the difference between a demon and an animal. He can even recognize simple medicinal herbs. I think I'm losing in terms of basic knowledge as an adventurer. Just as I was feeling a little down, Sylphy came back.　

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

"Welcome back, Sylphie. Are those the spirits of the wind and the earth?

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

　A small owl and a small wild boar are flying behind Sylphy. Very cute. Like Rain and Tamamo, I wonder if there are many spirits imitating children of animals.　Of course they are cute.

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

　Come to think of it, all the floating spirits in the labyrinth city and in the forest are cute. If spirits could see, they'd be very popular.

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

Yes, they would. I brought a girl who is conscious and seems to be a good match for Sarah and Marco."

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

　So there's chemistry. Can we call the little owl a pea owl?　She is about the size of two clenched fists, with round, fluffy eyes. Very cute. It's a bird and a spirit of the wind.

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

　The little boar is Uribo. They are about the size of a small dog and have a distinctive cucumber-like pattern on their bodies. His dull eyes are cute. Boars are spirits of the earth. When he grows up, will he become a wild boar like the one in the movie "Jiuri"?

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

"Thank you, Sylphy. You guys are welcome too."

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

　I reach out and pet the pea owl and the cucumber. Animal children are so cute that it's almost cowardly. At first, they were surprised to be touched, but after I took the time to stroke them, Mame Owl and Uribo squinted their eyes pleasantly.

"Yuta. You're getting too carried away. You're not the one who's going to sign the contract, are you?"

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

　Sylphy's voice, which sounds like she's about to give up, brings me back to my senses. Yes, it was. Oh, no, little animal. They have terrible power.

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

"Uh-huh. Yes, it does. Sara. Marco, come here. Can you see the genie's in the bottle here?"

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

"It's hard to feel their presence compared to Sylphy's and Belle's, but I understand.

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

　Sarah answers. I don't know if it's hard for you to feel my presence, because I can see it as it is.

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

"Because I'm a floating spirit. They're still weak. They are very cute kids. I hope they grow up together.

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

　I give Sarah and Marco a detailed description of their appearance and ask them to think of names. If they name it and the spirit accepts it, the contract is complete.

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

　I hear that the contract will be a little more complicated without my or Sylphy's mediation, so Sara and Marco are lucky.

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

　Sara and Marco are pondering over the contract. Meanwhile, Bean Owl and Uribo are surrounded by Belle and her friends. It's good that they are getting along well, so let's leave them alone. But I'd like to mix with them a little.

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

"Okay, I've made up my mind!　I'll be Uri."

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

　Oh, no. Did I get pulled in by the fact that I taught my hometown to call a kid boar "Uribo"?　Hmm. Is it bad to give too much advance information?

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

"I'll be Huk-chan."

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

　This one was influenced by my saying bean owl. Hmm. Well, okay. As long as Sarah and the genie are okay with it.

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

"Okay. Then let's start with Sara."

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

　We collect Huku and Uri from Bell and the others, and have them stand by in front of Sara and Marco.

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

"Okay, Sara. You see the genie is in front of you. Tell them the name you thought of.

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

"Yes, sir. Let's see. Your name is Huku. Is that correct?

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

　Fuchu nodded his head. I guess we've got a contract. As usual, it was a little too easy, and a little unsatisfying.

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

"Master?"

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

　Sarah is puzzled by the lack of response. I know exactly how you feel. Fukuchan is jumping around happily, but Sara doesn't know what's going on. Just for Sara: ......ppu.

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

"Don't worry. We have an agreement. Try communicating the way I taught you yesterday."

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

"Yes, yes. Yes, sir. Huku, come here.

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

　Sara is calling out to Huku, who is flying around her, explaining to her how to communicate. Marco is next.
