Chapter 20

3/3

I changed Edgelin to Aegirine because the author is naming places after minerals . I really should start googling names first

Disclaimer: I don't guarantee that this is 100% accurate .

Please let me know if there are any mistakes in my translations .

P . S . This chapters about agriculture so Im not really sure if I used the right terms

Chapter 20: That time when I didnt understand the market price and currency values

When I went to school after the harvest festival, the three idiots were showing three different kinds of faces .

The first was overflowing with confidence, the second was somewhat feeling refreshed and the third one was quite drained .

lets just leave them alone .

At my training place in the forest, I did my usual nibbling of poisonous plants and throwing practice using my weapons and some stones . While I was in the middle of throwing an obsidian knife, the three idiots suddenly appeared so I had to immediately switch to the machete . I wonder if my obsidian knife was exposed .

Hey, Caam . How was it for you on your first time?

When I gave out a vague reply, Wurst seriously asked me again so I had to give them some answers . I share my knowledge with these guys to some extent so I wonder if theyre trying to gain even more information .

Even though I also have knowledge from my previous life of acts that are too unique, I decided just to teach them the basic stuff . Lets just set aside the unique ones to use as a punch line . As I was teaching them, everyone was earnestly listening to me . In this world, never mind the internet, even books havent really promulgated yet so these kinds of conversations are probably essential .

So, why do you guys want to know this? You probably didnt want to know about Suzuran, right? Ah Thats because we were doing some light reading using introductory-like books at the towns bookstore the other day

They probably arent lying about that .

Hey, Im been wondering about this for a while now but the thing youve been chewing on isnt dried meat, isnt it? Since it has a really grassy smell

As expected of a dog . He has a better sense of smell than the rest of us .

A, ah . Uhmthat is Poisonous plant Ha!?1Eh!? Well, this is just a story I heard but if you ingest poison just to a degree that you wont die, youll steadily build up resilience to poison . Thats why I continued doing it . Incidentally, the first time I did this, I was just grinded a leaf and drank a watered down solution . However, the next day my health took a turn for the worst so you should be careful if youre going to try it Thats because not just anyone could do it . I havent even heard my mother say anything about that

So elves dont do this I see, so they arent even aware of it in the first place

Is that so? Could it be that there are no cases of poisoning anywhere? That only happens to royalty and nobles . Those who are living normal lives arent going to be served poison, you know? Thats right so you should stop doing that Well, its fine since Im still alright . I can already chew on a leaf and still be fine when I couldnt even handle a bit before you know? I could probably eat two right now and still not die

I smiled as I said that but I could easily see that they were taken aback by that .

While we were having that random conversation, Schinken suddenly said,

That reminds me, the village chief said, If you see Caam-kun, please tell him that Im looking for him . What was that about? Ah I can pretty much guess what he wants . Its probably about the expansion of the fields . It seems like Im treated as an expert when it comes to using magic for agriculture . Remember his speech during the harvest festival? Ive had a bad premonition about that since that time . Ahh he said that didnt he What will you do? Like this, I guess

As I said that I started creating a simple image .

Image1 meter x 1 meter x 20 centimeter of soil rising up then settling downexecute

I activated that thing that I imagined right in front of our eyes . The soil in front of us turned soft as it made waves and settled down .

See, I used an image of digging up the soil with a shovel . With this, Ive removed the need to plow . Next is

Imagemix the surface of the soil in front like a whirlpool Execute

Like an old washing machine, the soil started spinning and became even softer .

SkillOffensive AttributeEarth: 3acquired .

Oh? Its been a while since that went up .

What I thought up was something like this . This will break up the large lumps of soil2 Oooh

The three idiots were impressed .

With this, it wont get clumped up once we scatter the seeds . Just as I thought, you really are amazing

I stepped on and touched the soft soil in front of us . The impression of magic being used for attacking is definitely strong it seems .

After that, it turn into an indecent conversation where we talked a bit about what happened after we separated . I could only say nothing but my condolences to Speck .

A bit after that, we returned to the village and I started asking around about where to look for the village chief . Thats because I dont have any idea where that person usually is . Rather, he really elusive and he only appears whenever youre searching for him . He always appears behind me though for some reason .

I am the village chief desu3

Uwaa! He came from my back again! Furthermore, I felt like we was able to say that really irritating line without hesitation Its decided, Im going to kill him .

Well, since I really can go and kill him, Ill just endure it .

Was there something you wanted to ask me? I talked about it during the harvest festival, about the expansion of the fields . I was thinking of gathering all of the villages men together to do it . You see, I want to decrease the burden even a bit so Im looking for a good method for doing that . Caam-kun is good at using convenient magic, right? Depending on the circumstances, we can also pay you a reward . Y-yeah Well, I can probably do it if its only that much Oh, so youre able to do it . Thats splendid . Could you show it to me for a bit? I was thinking of clearing the sides of the road towards Aegirine town for the expansion plans . There are also grass needed to be cut there

We continued our conversation while walking .

How much land do you plan to cultivate? Around ten fields worth . Based on this years sowing and harvesting, we wont have any problems adding that much Will there be no troubles when it comes to scattering the seeds?

Its has not occurred to me to think about magic for sowing seeds .

We just randomly sprinkle that around, right?

Ah, is that good enough? I thought they systematically line them up when planting seeds . If thats the case then wouldnt it be simpler if you just let the wind carry it?

We continued walking towards the town and arrived at the designated area .

Im thinking about placing the first field around here

was what he said while pointing towards an open area .

For now, were trying to clear it up as much as possible before winter comes . Its kind of waste just to leave this land
