'Lying in the chair and drinking tropical juice. There's nothing like the luxury of a day off to do nothing.

Taro-chan, I need a refill of juice.

Okay, but aren't you going to play?

'Marilyn has been around for tens of thousands of years now, so she doesn't huff and puff like Larabell and the others. I'm not a kid.

'Well... (even though he doesn't look that different from Frau...)



　Today was a holiday.
　I usually leave all the work, other than hunting sand beasts, to Goliath and Marilyn anyway, so I mostly play, but on this day I brought chairs and parasols to the resurrected sandy beach and was enjoying the holiday while lounging and drinking tropical juice.
　The young Larabelle and her friends are playing beach volleyball, but of course they get all these items via 'online shopping' as well.
　The team of Larabelle and Miu in swimsuits and the team of Frau and Aisha were energetically engaged in a beach volleyball showdown.
　All of them were at a high level without omission, so there was a heated match using their physical abilities.
　However, only Marilyn insisted that she was 'old enough to be an old man' and was lying on the chair next to me.
　She's a spirit, so what's the point in judging her age by her appearance?

'The sea has recovered a lot. So I can be nonchalant. But the creatures don't spring up in large numbers that quickly, so there's no point in being impatient.''

　We've been doing our best to release sea creatures that we purchased through online shopping, but considering the size of the Far South Sea, it's only natural that it would take some time for them to recover.
　Especially for large fish, there is no way you can buy them through "online shopping".
　There is no choice but to increase the number of bacteria, seaweed and small organisms before transplanting them from the Central Sea.

"Hehe, we won today!

You did it, Miss Aisha.

Lady Lalabelle flies the ball too far, doesn't she?

It's a tough call.

　The four of us are back after beach volleyball, and they look great in their bikini swimsuits.
　However, that's my standard, and in this world, I would have a reputation for being too skinny.
　That's why the beach I'm at now was treated as a private beach for the Katoo family's exclusive use.
　The residents of Gori-san Town were increasingly spending their vacations on the sandy beach next door, so they were separated.

'Taro-chan, we're going to split a watermelon,'

Okay.

　I immediately went "online shopping" and bought watermelons, wooden knives, and a cloth for a blindfold, and started splitting watermelons.
　We started off with Lalabell.
　After spinning her around blindfolded on the spot, I began to split the watermelon.

'Lalabell-sama, do you understand?'

Huh, with me, no matter how many rotations you make, there's no way you'll lose your watermelon. Let me show you my mind's eye.

　Despite being blindfolded, Larabell headed straight for the watermelon and cut it in half with a single blow.
　When you go to the watermelon without hesitation to this point and get cut in half successfully, I feel like it's not as exciting as it could be.

''Lalabell-sama, it's not fun at all, so I'm next.

　After saying that, Miu decided to break the new watermelon, but she too was able to locate the watermelon with magic at the ready.
　As much as Lalabelle did, the watermelon was broken just as quickly.

''Mew-sama, if you break the watermelon so dumbly, it won't be as exciting. I'm next.''

　Frau was also careful with Mew, but she was also a master archer and good at detecting signs.
　The watermelon was broken in half with a single blow.

'I don't like it when I just screw up.

It's not usually the kind of game that cuts you in half in one go.

　However, Aisha also broke a watermelon in half with a single blow.
　Is it because of her high level or because she's an excellent hunter?
　All four of them break the watermelon with a single blow, so it's not a very interesting watermelon splitting experience.

''Watermelon, it's delicious.''

Lots of gori. Gori doesn't have to be bananas.

　Most of the four watermelons that were broken were eaten by Marilyn and the gorilla that appeared as if she and Marilyn had timed it right, so I'm glad we didn't have any left over.



'It just occurred to me, if you remove the sand from the desert, will it expose the soil?

'What do you think?　It could be a rock.



　I think Gori Town is running well.
　It's because the gorimachos have split up and are putting their mouths and hands all over the place.
　I had some time today, so I decided to head out of Gori-san Town and explore the surrounding area.
　I guess they realized that the mass defeat in the morning and the sand beasts would be hunted by us if they were in this vicinity.
　There was nothing but desert around the ruined temple and mobile city.
　
　If it doesn't, we can stop, and we'll give it a try.

''But then again, the deserts of this world are all sand.

　Deserts are often thought of as sand, but in fact they are not so common on Earth.
　Most of them are rock deserts with exposed bedrock and gravel deserts with stones and rock fragments.
　The deserts of the world, however, are almost entirely sandy deserts, according to Gomimcho.

If it's all sand, where did the dirt go?

"Far down in the sand, Gori.

There it is.

　The goliath who can show up here and there as it splits, answered my question.

'Gori, whose bare rock has gradually crumbled into sand due to an overdose of water used for perfect room temperature fusion,'

So it's not a gravel desert?

Thousands of years can cause that kind of change, too, Gori.

　'The gravel has become even finer,' the goldmaster explained to me, 'and a mysterious, abnormal breeding creature called a sand beast has reduced the amount of land available for nourishment, and finally the world has become a world where eighty percent of the entire territory is desert.

'Now, thirty percent of it is sea gorillas.

　The Far South Sea is more than twice the size of the Central Sea.
　That's just the result of a goldmaster's measurement.

'More oceans means more rain, right?

Yes, Gori. There's no guarantee that it will rain here so conveniently, but it should rain in its own way.

　If this much ocean water evaporates, will it make it easier for rain clouds to form?

Then the greening of the desert should be an easy success.

Maybe it'll be okay. He's got an 'online shopping' thing going on.

"You can buy stuff for greening with 'online shopping'.

A goliath with that too, but a goliath with a 'trash can' too.

A 'trash can'?

　This feature, items purchased from 'online shopping' are prone to trash, so this was a handy feature to dump into it.
　It also has the advantage of converting the trash material into Eidolk, albeit a small amount.

'Here, just dump the sand, golly.'

Can you do it?

"Try it, Gori.

That's true.

　I opened the 'online shopping' window and clicked on the trash can display and designated a nearby sand pile.
Then, just as the goldmine predicted, a large amount of sand disappears from the spot.



　Dozens of tons of sand are made into a hundred yen.
　Is this going to be used for making concrete?
　I have no idea what's going on on the side that presides over the 'online shopping', though.

'If I can get rid of the sand, can I get rid of the sand that's in my way?'

　In a rather opportunistic turn of events, I started to use the 'trash can' to dump the sand in the area.

''That's a lot of stuff...''

Thousands of years of sedimentary gori. Gori that can't be helped.

　We kept dumping sand until the soil was exposed, but no matter how much sand we removed, the earth ground was not exposed.
　After a few dozens of meters of sand had been removed, we finally found a patch of dirt.
　It was dry and didn't seem to have much nutrition.

'So there's a layer of soil?'

　However, no one has ever thought to move the sand out of the ground before, as it has to be lightly moved at least fifty meters to reach the soil.
　I wondered if it was also because there was no water, so even if they found soil, they couldn't take care of it.

'We'll have to move the sand out of the way first to expose some ground...'

　I just kept on throwing the sand out of the desert into the 'trash'.
