　Sylphy took us to the top of the spirit tree and we fully enjoyed the forest bathing with the good smell of the spirit tree. Afterwards, we set up a table in the shade of the tree and had lunch. The shade of a large tree makes our life easier.

"Sarah and the others, you go and train with Fukuchan and Uri based on yesterday's practice. If you have any questions, come to me. Then take a nap. We're going to practice again tonight, so make sure you get a good night's sleep.

　I see Sara and her friends off as they run off, fired up to do their best. A little too much discretion, don't you think?　But I don't have much to teach him, and it's more efficient for me to work on my own. I'm not sure if I should stay by your side or not.

"Yuta-san. Shall I stay with the children?

　I guess she knew what I was thinking, because Dolly offered to be my chaperone.

"I'd appreciate it if you'd watch over me, okay?"

"Of course. I signed a contract with Yuta-san, too. I will help you."

　She smiled and assured me that she would take care of it. It was a comforting experience.

"Thank you. I'll take care of it."

　Dolly said yes and flew to Sarah and the others. With Dory there, there would be no danger.

"Well, you and the Bells take care of the fields and the planned forest.

　Oh, by the way, I got some tomato seedlings. We'll have to plant them later, and it would be nice if Sara and the kids could work in the fields with us anyway. Maybe next time since I sent them to training now.

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

　But I've been thinking about it... I could store tomato seedlings normally... but how far can I store ...... plants?　I'll have to experiment next time.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

　I'll be watching the belles fly off to work in high spirits. ...... Should I have Dolly grow the planned forest area too?　I made up the soil there, so it's not safe to grow fast. He said he would mix the soil if I made a deal with Nomos, so I guess I'll have to let it grow after that.

"Yuta. I'll help you too!"

　Deanne declares enthusiastically. Hmmm...what's the job?　I've asked Dolly to be my chaperone too, and I feel like it would be sulking to say that I have nothing to do here.

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

"Hmmm... can you escort Belle and the others then?　Rain will probably sprinkle some water, so give him some advice."

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

"Okay. I'll keep a close watch on you, don't worry.

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

"Yes, please."

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

　Maybe it's because they just signed a contract, but both Deanne and Dolly seem to be in high spirits. Maybe they are enjoying the freedom to use their power to some extent.

"What are you going to do now, Yuta?　Pioneering?"

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

"Hmm?　I'm thinking of processing the wood before pioneering. I'll set up a place to dry the wood and remove the branches. Speaking of which, can you dry the wood with Sylphy's help?"　

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

"Hot air will speed up the drying process, but it would be faster to have Dine drain the water out."

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

　Oh, if you can get the water out of them, they will certainly dry out. Very convenient.

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

"Then we don't need a place to dry them. I'll just remove the branches and leave them ready to dry.

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

　The branches can be used as fuel if they are dried, but since we bought a lot of charcoal, should we use them for something else?　I heard on TV that if you dig a hole and put leaves in it and water it, it makes a good fertilizer, but I've been collecting leaves from the forest and I'm not sure what to do with them.

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

　I was afraid that I would run out of driftwood and run out of fuel, so I couldn't easily throw away tree branches and other things. I should dry them out and save them for the fire.

"You did a lot of thinning, didn't you? I'll help you, let's get this over with.

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

"Yes, please."

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

　We take out all the live trees that have been thinned. ......I didn't really realize how much we were thinning as we moved around, but it's a lot to see all of it at once.

　If we are going to build a house with these trees, it would be better to unify the types of trees as much as possible. Dory and Tamamo can help me figure out which kind of wood is best suited for building a house.

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

　I take out my magic saw and start sawing away at the branches. It works great. The first one is done without any trouble at all. At this rate, it won't take long. With that in mind, I look at Sylphy and see .......

　Lots of trees are floating in the air, and branches are being cut off. I'm glad that it's so easy to finish, but it kind of makes my cheat skills and pioneering tools a little hazy.

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

　I can't lose!　With a sense of pointless rivalry flaring up, I swing the saw and cut down the branch as fast as I can.

　.................. burnt out. I'm burnt out.

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

"Yuta. Why are you so tired?"

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

　That's the thing. It's because Sylphy handled it twice as easily as I did, even though I worked as hard as I could, with my rivalry flaring up for no good reason. I think my magic saw is a bit limp, too.

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

　I see. You're nothing if you're not a real cheat. I'm sorry. I should've used it better. .......

"What are you mumbling about?　What's wrong?"

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

　Sylphy asks worriedly. This is how people hurt others without realizing it. Talent is a terrible thing.

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

"No, it's nothing. I just worked a little too hard. Thanks for helping me."

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

"Yeah?　Try not to push yourself too hard."

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

"Yeah. Thank you. I'm okay now. I'll leave the wood here and let Dine drain it later. Next time I'll do some pioneering."

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

　Sylphy worries that I should get some rest, but I am mentally exhausted, so it's all good. I'd rather move around. After checking on Sarah and Bell, we head for the planned pioneer site.

"Dene. Can you drain the water out of the lumber you're laying out there?"

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

　After finishing the planned area of pioneering, we call out to Dine. By the way, Sarah and the others are napping while Belle and the others are playing with the newly grown spirit tree.

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

　Belle says that it is very fun to play with the new tree because it can "goo and goo and goo". I wasn't sure what was going on with the "goong" and "squeak".

"Mmm-hmm. It's easy if you're my sister.

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

　Dineh confidently declares. It's easy, I hear, so I'll ask.　

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

"Thanks. Just remove enough water from the wood so that it doesn't change color.

　Deene goes to the wood, humming to herself. Deene can make ice, drain water from wood, and is good with water.

　It is a pity that her capricious and childish nature overshadows the dignity and excellence of the Great Spirit.

"Ei!"

　Deane shouted, and a cloud of steam came out of the wood.

　..................

"Whew. Yuta, it's over."

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

　Deane told me that the drying process was finished as she wiped her sweat with her arm. Hmmm...first of all, do genies scratch their sweat?　Where did they learn that gesture?　So many questions.

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

"Thank you. You've been very helpful."

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

"Leave it to my sister. Mmm-hmm."

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

　I look at Deanne and think, "I've done it. Where was Deanne when I first met her?

　I retrieve the wood into my magic bag for now. To the touch, the wood is indeed well drained. The straight wood is easy to use, but what to do with the crooked wood? I don't know what to do with it.

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

　Hmmm. The magic bag has unlimited capacity, so let's store it away. It will come in handy eventually. Maybe.

　I'm going to collect them all and stretch out. Well, we're halfway to dinner. I've got time to spare, so why not go for dragon steaks instead of something ready-made?

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

　I'd like to start with the Fire Dragon, but I think I'll start with the Assault Dragon. Marie says it's a very high quality meat, so it should be delicious. I hear the Fire Dragon is even better, but I'm the type of person who eats the leftovers last.

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

Hey Sylphie. Deanne. I'm thinking of having the Assault Dragon steak today.

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

"Oh, by the way, you got the meat first. I'll take it.

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

I'll have some too. We're having drinks tonight, aren't we?

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

　Oh, by the way, you promised last night that you'd serve drinks when the deal with Dolly was done.

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

"We'll serve drinks, but only after Sara and the others level up. I'm thinking dragon steak, bread and salad for dinner."

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

"Well, can't we just have red wine?"

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

　d*mn it, Dineh, look up at me and ask me for a favor. Where did you get that technique ....... You were flying a few minutes ago, so your head was higher than mine.

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

"Just one drink is all I ask."

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

"Hmm. Thank you, Yuta. I'm so happy for you.

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

　Deanne and Sylphy are delighted to see each other. A glass of red wine makes you happier than a dragon steak?　I think I could buy a keg of wine with a dragon steak.

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

　With a feeling of uncertainty in my heart, I set about preparing dinner. I get out the grill, lay out the twigs and coals, and put the grill on the grill. I light the twigs on fire with the magic seed fire of life, and call for the bell.

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

"Yuta, what are you doing? Can I help you?"

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

　Belle comes flying in, tilting her head and asking.

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

"Yes. Helping. I need you to blow the wind gently on these coals to make a fire. Can you do that?"

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

　Declaring confidently, Belle moves in front of the grill and begins to blow the wind with a serious face. He seems to know exactly what to do, and a good amount of air is fed into the coals, and the fire from the twigs is transferred to the coals. A perfect job.

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

"Sylphy. Speaking of which, what about the fire spirit?　After all, do you have to have a fire lit at all times to be here?"

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

　Earth, fire, wind, and water seem to be the four major attributes, and it is strange that we have not yet made a contract with a fire spirit.

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

"That's right. It's impossible as it is now. It's not impossible to make a contract with them, but I still think it's hard to live in the land of death. I'll bring you back when I have the facilities to make your life more comfortable."

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

　Well, I knew it. It would be better to have a fire burning all day if possible. Blacksmith shops and the like are out of flames at night, so it's a surprisingly difficult problem.

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

I'll think of something. I'll see what I can come up with.

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

"Okay."

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

　I'd better get started on the food. Oh, I see Sara and the others are awake. ...... I wonder if it's okay to eat dragon steaks in our sleep?　I'm fine and I'm sure Marco is too, but I'll ask Sara and Kikka.

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

　I'd like to enjoy the dragon steaks.
