 A field that spreads out in a circle around the old elf village.

 

 

 

 

 

 About the southern half of it is in contact with the forest of the Aokigahara Forest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In the field on the outer edge near the forest, I, Sefie, and Maple went to hear that they had been damaged by pests.

 

 

 

 

 

 The crops that are grown there are mainly spices, such as garlic, ginger, capsicum, pepper, paprika, and herbs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Forest trees can be seen on the outer edge.

 

 

 

 

 

 Until a while ago, this was also a forest, but with my “Energy Drain”, the trees in the forest died and it became a place that was cultivated for fields.

 

 

 

 

 

 I could see the elves working here and there in such a field.

 

 

 

 

 

“That looks interesting! I want to try Sefie too!”

 

 

 

 

 

“No, isn't it impossible with Sephi's physique? Maybe it's heavy.

 

 

 

 

 

 Before Sefie gazed at her eyes, she was looking at the elves working in the fields-more precisely, what they were carrying and carrying.

 

 

 

 

 

 It was like a columnar tank, with something like a handle and something like a hose extending from the top of the tank.

 

 

 

 

 

 The elves hold the tip of the hose and point it towards the crop. Something like liquid was sprayed from the tip of the hose.

 

 

 

 

 

“Hey! What are you doing ?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Princess, spirit”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The working male elf who noticed this turns around.

 

 

 

 

 

 It doesn't matter, but I can't help but feel uncomfortable with the appearance of the elves wearing straw hats and working in the fields. No, it's basically young and beautiful. Agricultural fashion with a towel around the neck is also awkward.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“What are you doing? Mizuyari? Let's give Sefie a happy chore!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Sefie rushes in with interest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“No, this isn't watering, princess.
And it's a little heavy for a princess.”

 

 

 

 

 

“Is that so”

 

 

 

 

 

“Are you sprinkling pesticides?”

 

 

 

 

 

 For some reason, such words came out naturally.

 However, the male elf also shakes his head.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“No, I sprinkle pesticides on the fields, but I don't use pesticides.”

 

 

 

 

 

“Well, what is it?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“This is–“

 

 

 

 

 

 That said, the male elf slams his back tank down to the ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 Then I grabbed the handle on the top and started moving it up and down. Apparently, a stick is connected to the tank on the handle so that it can be moved up and down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“If you push it in like this many times, pressure will build up inside, according to the dwarves.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The male elf carries the tank again, this time with a hose extending from the tank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“After that, if you twist this cock, you can spray the liquid in the tank.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 There was a cock near the tip of the hose, and when I twisted it, some liquid was sprayed from the tip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Oh! Wow, this is the technique of Chogijutsu …”

 

 

 

 

 

 Sefie is looking at the tank-the atomizer.

 

 

 

 

 

 I don't think it's super technology, but it's certainly a convenient alternative. I've never seen an out-of-place like this in an old elf village. Or rather, it shouldn't be possible with elf metalworking technology.

 

 

 

 

 

“Maybe the dwarves made it?”

 

 

 

 

 

“Yes, the watering can is a little inefficient, and when I explained that I wanted something like this, he made it.”

 

 

 

 

 

“Hoo”

 

 

 

 

 

 Certainly, it is a tool that seems to require precision work, and it seems difficult to make it unless it is a dwarf.

 

 

 

 

 

 But more than that, it seems that they are living in a good relationship. If you actually live, it seems that they are compensating for each other's shortcomings, and they are compatible with each other, aren't they?

 

 

 

 

 

 The elders and other old men were just stubborn, and now they are being converted (?) By the sermon (?) Of Mr.
Embra.

 

 

 

 

 

“So what are you sprinkling after all?”

 

 

“This is a mixture of water and sticky tree sap.
When sprayed in this way, a film is formed.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Male elves spray on the lush herb leaves.

 

 

 

 

 

 Then, the liquid was evenly applied to the leaves, and immediately changed to something like a transparent film.

 

 

 

 

 

 By the way, a mucus tree is a tree that produces sap like mucus as it is, and it seems that it grows pretty much everywhere in the Valus Taijukai.

“oh? Maybe the little guy in this leaf, an insect?”

 

 

 

 

 

“yes”

 

 

 

 

 

 A myriad of small particles were attached to the leaves that the man sprayed with liquid.

 

 

 

 

 

 It's so small that you can't tell without careful observation, but it looks like a bug.

 

 

 

 

 

“I heard that you're being damaged by insects elsewhere, but is this the one?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“That's right.
A lot of this guy came and devoured the leaves of the crop.”

 

 

 

 

 

 Apparently, it's a hit.

 

 

 

 

 

 I imagined the damage caused by insects (demons) because it was the damage caused by insects, but I'm relieved that it doesn't seem to be the case. No, the damage of this guy wouldn't have been ridiculous, but it's better than the insects (demons) that could harm humans. Crops can be grown again and are not hungry.

 

 

 

 

 

“Is this damage okay?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Yes.
If you spray liquid with this sprayer and cover the insects with a film, you will not be able to breathe and you will suffocate.
Unlike insecticides, it does not affect the human body, so this method is used to exterminate insects.
world”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The male elf replied with a smile.

 

 

 

 

 

 However, suffocating and exterminating insects is not a farmer-is it the wisdom of an elf?

 

 

 

 

 

 

“It was good. ……
Is there any other problem? A monster comes out of the forest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“No, especially.
I used to get lost in monsters, but nowadays it's totally.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Apparently, there are no other noticeable problems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“By the way, Princess, would you like to eat something? What you can eat now …
there are paprika, etc.”

 

 

 

 

 

“No, thank you!”

 

 

 

 

 

 I wonder if there are few children who like raw paprika.

 

 

 

 

 

 He didn't seem to like Sephi in particular, so he refused with haste.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Is that so……”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We move to the next place, leaving the unfortunate male elf behind.

 After that, I visited the fields where potatoes are grown, sugar cane fields, orchards, and so on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Unlike the rhizomes that I store [life force] and [magical power], the potatoes that I feed do not store such things. Whatever the process up to harvesting, no matter who says what, it's just potatoes. Even if the potatoes that you forgot to harvest germinate and become walking weeds, they are just potatoes.

 By the way, at the strong request of dwarves, about half of the potatoes are used as raw materials for sake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 But instead, sugar cane is mostly devoted to sugar production, and sake brewing uses only a small amount for research.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 On the other hand, the management of orchards is considerably stricter than other fields.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I used to try making sake from apples and grapes, but now the production of fruit-based sake is on the decline.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 For the orchards are a sanctuary for the elves, and the dwarves are not allowed to be selfish. It may be a little overstated that the elf's staple food is fruit, but it seems that fruit is that important to the elf.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 One of such orchards is a fruit tree named “Sephi Tree”.

 

 

 

 

 

 The fruit is peach, which is one of Sefie's favourite fruits, and Sefie works every day-that is, after “supporting” my body and the big trees where the spirits dwell, when I come to the orchard, this ” “Support” is also given to “Sefie Tree”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 No, but that tree is connected to my body underground, right?

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Wow! Be really delicious !!”

 

 

 

 

 

 Moreover, it is quite careful.

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to giving “support”, Sephi pays attention to the condition of the soil and the condition of the trees. We will spare no effort to produce delicious peaches.

 

 

 

 

 

 Mr.
Sefie says:

 

 

 

 

 

“If you eat a bite, it's Sephi's peach that everyone makes peaches.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Mr.
Sefie's eyes were as clear as a pure boy, and he had a fiery passion inside …

 

 

 

 

 

 

 No, wasn't he the strongest swordfighter?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Well, anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 In the sugar cane field, he sucked on sugar cane, and in the orchard, he chewed the fruits that were ready to eat, and Sefie was happy that day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I looked around the whole field, but it seems that there are no major problems other than insect damage. On the contrary, the elves are adding fertilizers to the soil, and the condition of the fields is getting better.

 

 

 

 

 

 Thanks to that, production efficiency seems to be rising overall.

 

 

 

 

 

 The elves working in the fields seemed more lively than before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 That's why the tour of the fields is over, but at the end, we head to a part of the orchard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Of course, there are trees, but they are neither “Sephi trees” nor other fruit trees. Growing is a completely different thing.

“This big …
This round …
And this bushy …”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Maple picked up only one thing grown on the tree, and Sefie received it with a serious expression to confirm the quality.

 

 

 

 

 

 His face is as sharp as a veteran farmer who has been farming for 30 years. He feels like a stubborn father who strictly judges the quality of the crops he grows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“If this is the case, you can do it.”

 

 

 

 

 

“Oh, right? Then, do you ask me to harvest it later? So what does it look like?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Very good!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

With a sharp face, Sephi affirms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 What I have in my hand is a green, bushy, round object. In other words, Marimo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 That said, it doesn't emit light like a normal (?) Marimo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In the first place, the sight of Marimo growing on a tree is terrible, but anyway, this Marimo is a Marimo modified using the “mutation” skill for a certain purpose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The effect is that while a normal marimo shines dimly for a long time, this modified marimo emits a sudden and tremendous amount of light for a moment when a certain amount of magical power is applied.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 By the way, it is disposable, and its workmanship cannot be judged by me or even Gangreli until it is actually used. However, only one person, Sefie, is good or bad in quality …
In other words, the amount of light emitted can be judged. I don't know why.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Named “Flash Marimo”, it is also one of the items to be wholesaled to the Bifröst merchant Pron's company.

 

 

 

 

 

 I decided to make it as a harassment for the war with the religion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“It seems that there is no particular problem in the field.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Everyone was doing their best.
I thought it was great.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Fufu, that's right, princess.
Everyone is great.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The tour of the fields will be good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 After that, let's check if there are any problems in food processing, that is, in sake breweries and sugar and spice processing plants.

 

 

 

 

 

“-That's why I'm going to the central square!”

 

 

 

 

“Skillful!”

 

 

 

 

 

 That's why we decided to move towards the old Elven Village Square.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hint-: When milk is sprayed, a film is formed, which can be used to exterminate aphids.
