"Oh, that's a pretty good sandal. Yes, kid, take it."

That's why the merchant handed me the coin.

I was stunned when I took it.

Because I bought a few sandals like a mountain that I crafted with meticulousness as coins.

Of course, the coins I received weren't worth anything like gold or silver, they were just bronze with slightly chipped edges.

Even though you can get as many beetle stems as you want to use as sandal ingredients, you can't buy weapons for long.

But it's not like a peddler wants to play.

You're just saying that the unit price of the sandals is too low.

Therefore, I will research products that can be bought at a better price for merchants.

Is it because I am about five years old now?

In that year, I was told that it was amazing even if I just made this amount of sandals, but I couldn't help but hear that I was trying to grab the information.

"Yikes.... Let's try it like this."

A few days after you finished interacting with the peddler.

I was working behind the house.

We still don't know if we can do it, but we're experimenting with an alternative source of income for sandals.

It is possible to hold and talk to a demanding pedestrian for a long time, and from the information obtained.

It was mushroom cultivation.

There is magic and magic in this world.

And I didn't know that there was a magic healing medicine that could restore the reduced magic in a short time.

However, there are not many magic healing medicines out there.

Because it is caused by raw materials.

Magic mushrooms were the most important ingredient in making magic healing medicines.

This is the only way to harvest what is growing in the forest, but the harvesting period is limited.

I made magic healing medicine using what I took at that time, but it seems to be out of quantity at all.

I wasn't even old enough to go into the woods as a kid, so why don't you try it when I'm a little older? That's how the topic came up at the end of the story.

But that's a business opportunity for me.

Because I noticed it when you showed me the magical mushrooms that I had by chance.

This is not "shiitake."

When I saw the magic mushrooms, my memory of my previous life flashed back.

I actually grew shiitake mushrooms.

It is light cultivated using something like a home grow kit, and it is not authentic.

However, if this magical mushroom grows in the same way as Shiitake, it is possible.

I decided to work on an experiment to do that.

Basically mushrooms are fungi, not plants.

Organism grows in the tree, and the tree itself grows as its own nutrient.

Therefore, if you create a situation where bacteria are likely to grow, it is possible to grow them artificially.

First, I procured a log of trees of the type where magic mushrooms can be removed from the woodcutters in the village.

I thought I'd cut myself, but it's hard to cut a tree or take it home.

Furthermore, it cannot be used for cultivation unless it is dried for several months.

In that regard, there was a log in a dry state as a material because it had to be wooden.

I just picked out something that looked good and brought back a few bottles.

There is a reason to dry logs.

The tree dries from the outside, and the inside is still moisturized.

If only the outside of the tree is dry and the inside is wet, the fungus does not reproduce well.

Therefore, moderate drying is required.

But on the contrary, it doesn't seem good if it's too dry.

Only moderate moisture is required.

For this reason, I leave it in the shade behind the house.

The rest is to embed this fungus into the logs and wait for the fungus to grow inside the trees.

However, there is no doubt that it will fail.

Therefore, we will also add ways that were never done in the previous life.

It's a way to pour my magic into a log of fungi.

When it comes to mushrooms, they're just parasitic to trees and growing.

And magical mushrooms should contain a lot of magic, that is, they take magic away from the tree.

Then maybe I can pay for the magic instead.

It was an experiment based on an unsubstantiated hypothesis.

I went to see if each of the logs would grow differently with the injection of magic.

My life was to wake up in the morning and take care of the fields while the sun was rising. When the sun went down, I put magic into logs, and at night I made sandals under the lights my mother put out.

Then, after a while, I discovered that only one out of a few logs showed up with only three magical mushrooms.
