She went out with Estelle pulling her hand. By the way, you didn't let go of me when I was wearing shoes, but Estelle was wearing knee socks and boots with one hand.

Looking up at the sky, it seems that it is still early in the evening. There will be plenty of time to make a field.

I looked around and decided to build a field between the container house and the outer wall. We grow barter vegetables here. In the meantime, I will try to grow all the vegetables I have, and after confirming the reaction of the villagers, I will focus on growing popular vegetables.

I'm not going to exchange it, but I plan to grow Cesilia grass for the first time. Recently, I put potions in the bath every day, so I need to increase the stock.

I also thought about saving potions with it, but when I saw Celine, who would get stuck in the magic supply, I thought I'd at least soothe my fatigue in the bath.... speaking of which, I'm sure the Cesilia grass you left at home is dying. It's a little wasted.

Now that you've decided on the concept of a field in your head, let's get to work.... I think you should let go of me right now.

Well, now I'm going to make a field.

When she took her hands off me, Esther looked sad for a moment and lowered her ears slightly, but at the next moment she smiled and nodded "Yeah."

Ugh... what a healthy feeling of guilt. Esther opens her mouth before I get stuck in words.

"So what do we sow?

"Uh, uh, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumber. And medicinal herbs."

"Ah, you've brought all sorts of seeds. Can I help you?

"Thank you, thank you."

I handed the seeded cloth bags to Esther one by one in order to get her to be a sowing clerk. When I explained to Esther how to sow each seed, it seemed like I remembered it repeatedly in my mouth as I nodded mysteriously. Such childish manners are kind of very funny.

Well then, I'll use the magic of earth to make a field while kneading mana into the earth, so will you sow one species at a time there?

"Yeah, I got it. Fufufu, you shouldn't say this, but it seems like you're having fun playing field work with your friends."

She laughed as if Estelle was illuminated. Celine hasn't been around for about three years, and Estelle probably spent most of her time alone without having to play with her generation. I wonder if I can say the same generation, but it seems to be similar to half-elf.

Well, I've become a friend, so I want to get along. As we talked about when we first met, outside this village, Esther started her field work talking about her childhood.

――――――

It took about an hour, but I finished sowing the seeds as planned. After that, we sprinkled water into the fields, and today's field work is over. Start making the most of the potioned baths you've been thinking about the other day.

This time, we take out "Celine's remaining hot water Class E potion". I was able to put all the remaining water together before, but the potion was not put together for some reason, so it remained individually labeled.

When I poured the remaining water out of the item box into Jouro, I noticed that the remaining water was still quite hot.

The remaining water is still hot, but there is still resistance to spraying it in the field. I could send a cool breeze with water magic and wind magic to cool it down...

"Ah, Esther. Let's take a break."

Instead, I've come up with a new way to use the remaining water.

I dig a hole about one meter in diameter and 50 centimeters deep next to the field, and when the surface is magically consolidated with earth, I pour the remaining water into it.

"What is this?

"It's the rest of the potion bath. I'm going to sprinkle this on the field, but I thought I'd use it again if it's cool anyway."

I took off my shoes and put my feet in the hot water when I sat down after I had hardened the soil around the hole so as not to get dirty. It is a footbath. I don't have to wonder what you're doing with the water that you're spraying in the fields from now on, but it's the water that's left over, so I guess now.

When you put your feet in the water, the warmth of the water and the potion effect wrap your feet loosely, soothing the tiredness of your field work.

I've never been to footbaths in my previous life, and I was wondering if I should be in a hot spring anyway whenever I heard that I went into footbaths, but now I think I know a little bit.

Not as much as a bath, footbaths that can easily enjoy and relax have a charm not found in baths. Perfect for a short break. I made sure it was effective enough. I called Esther.

"All I have to do is sprinkle the water, and I'll take a break around here. Put your feet in here. It feels so good."

Hee ~, I've heard of baths, but there are baths where you can just put your feet in.

Esther took off her boots and knee socks again and sat next to me and slowly soaked her thin, white feet in hot water. Then Esther raised her voice with pleasure.

"... fluffy ~, this feels so good ~. I'm going to want to soak in it forever.... hey, Mark. Why don't you soak in this water like a real bath? I'd like to take a bath once."

As soon as I gave her permission, Estelle asked me with a shy expression that she was about to take off her clothes.

"Would you recommend entering after you've put your foot in it...? Next time, I'll invite you to a nice bath. I look forward to it."

"Wow, thanks! I'm looking forward to it."

The ester that grabbed my hand smiled like a flower. Hmm, such an innocent, cute smile that a boy of his age could fall in love in an instant.

Well, let's take a break for a while.

I took two cushions out of the item box and handed one to Esther, laying my share on the ground and lying on my back on a pillow.

"I'll just go to bed for a while. I was pretty tired today because I used so much magic...."

Honestly, it's been a long time. In the future, let me put a time limit on my mother's and Celine's personal stories. Swearing to my heart, I took a break without waiting for Esther's reply.
