Kujonin

Episode 74

"It took 20 years to get here, hahaha"

The hero of the earth, Garcia, looks at the cotton field and says, "I'm sorry."

"Five years ago, the canal was completed and finally got on track."

A waterway is a river that flows through the center of the village.

"Is that waterway made by Garcia?"

"Yes, because the whole area was a wasteland. That was a terrible thing, hahaha."

"Why did you choose cotton? Oh, I wonder if another waste plant would be fine in the wasteland."

"Simplicity. I wanted clothes."

"Clothes ..."

"I wish I could wear it, but I thought so too. I thought when I bought the child of the slave for the first time. People seem to be discriminated against by appearance. Because I grew up in such a place, that's what it is ... "

She lonely explained that the slaves were usually only dressed like rags.

"It's a change in people's eyes just by wearing well-dressed clothes. It's like magic. If you can buy cheap and well-dressed clothes, you'll be able to wear clothes that aren't rags at least. I wonder if the treatment of slaves will change after that. ''

So cotton?

"Is it not good for goatship?"

I wondered if the goatship hair, a monster of sheep like Melmo's family, would have been good.

"It's a wasteland, so it's hard just to feed, and if the king is cotton, promise me that I'll buy it."

Is this farm half-owned?

"The land was received from the king, so it didn't cost me any money, but it was hard. From there it didn't sprout, hahaha.

In the laughter, a glimpse of the hardship.

"So I couldn't help, so I went around and learned about how the plants grew while I was an adventurer. So I came back and tried it again. See, the forest around the farm, the trees I had never planted a farm before, so I didn't know about windbreaks, ha ha ha. It takes a long time from there, ha ha ha. "

Garcia raised her straw hat and wiped her forehead.

"I've given up many times, and I have the power of a hero, so I thought I'd eat it with an adventurer, but a hero without an evil king wouldn't be needed just to rob people of his work. But thanks to going all over the place, I met my wife and I met the children of the slaves.The village is getting bigger and the children who have been freed from the slaves are helping me. Yeah! "

Looks happy.

"Ola is lucky. I had no protection from the earth spirits, I couldn't make the waterway, and I couldn't open the farm so much. Well, I'm glad I was a terrible earth hero."

Certainly, it takes years to build a normal waterway.

It will take a considerable time to expand such a farm.

But with earth magic, you can do it easily.

It's hard to say.

There is a good reason to grow cotton.

However, they must be cut out.

"Uh ... it's West Adel Lake ... but you know the water level is going down?"

"Oh! I know. I knew it recently. The officials of the country say they build a canal, bring sea fish, and breed it. Ora was also asked to build a canal. Until two years later I guess I will make it in

"No, the reason why the water level is dropping, that is, the water level in the lake is decreasing, maybe because I drew a waterway here."

"Eh ?! No ... but it's not that simple. It's not raining, or the snowmelt from the mountain west of the lake is decreasing."

Certainly it is quite possible.

That's why we need to investigate.

"Of course. That's why we need research."

"Yeah, I know we need an investigation, but Naoki is from an extermination company. Are you doing an investigation?"

"Yes, we need a thorough investigation to get rid of it, and then we have to decide whether to get rid of it."

"Do you want to get rid of this cotton when you get rid of ?! You are!"

For the first time, Garcia, laughing, became angry.

"The target of extermination is Garcia, you who are a hero."

"... hahaha, what a joke? Exterminate the brave? Ora has the protection of the earth spirit? Isn't it possible to exterminate that Ora?"

"Hahaha, hahaha, yes. It's ridiculous to get rid of the brave. Sorry, bad joke."

"That's right. Ha-ha-ha, can you come back today?"

"Ah, yes. Sorry. I've been bothering you for a long time."

"Haha"

Garcia laughed dry and sent me out to the exit.

Along the way, a middle-aged red-haired woman came out of the warehouse and called the children working in the cotton field, "I'm going to have a lesson soon!"

Garcia's wife.

"Oh, customer?"

"Oh, thanks.

"Let's eat slowly for dinner next time."

"Hello, thank you!"

I answered with a friendly laugh in the awkward air.

"You, look at the children's arithmetic later."

"Oh, I see. Ashley."

The wife said, "OK then," and headed home.

The children in the cotton fields are also heading home.

They all wore good looking shirts.

I left the farm, gazing at Garcia's gaze.

"Here, Bersa. Arrived. I also collected the soil from the farm. "

It was not until late in the evening that Bersa contacted me by communication bag.

At that time, I was sleeping at the inn.

"I'm at a village inn"

"What an inn? 』

"I can tell immediately because there is only one."

"Yes"

I cut my magic from the communication bag and I got up from bed.

"Still, someone has to stop."

It's late after the inhabitants of the lake have died, whether hated or opposing.

So what do the people in this village do? What happens to the children of the hero's house?

Saying that you want to exterminate a hero does not mean that you should remove the protection of earth spirits from the hero.

Later is more important.

"It's a Komuro company with a great after-sales service!"

Gacha

"What are you saying alone?"

Bersa has arrived.

Under the light of a magic stone lamp, Versa spread the potted soil on a white cloth.

When asked how he got the soil,

"Since no one was there, I just entered a cotton field and borrowed it."

He said without a doubt.

I spread another piece of white cloth and spread the soil in a different jar.

"Hmm, obviously many"

"what?"

"The magic stone sand"

"This is the soil of the farm, this is the waste soil collected on the way to come, but the soil of the farm has a high content of gemstone sand. Is it better to grow like that?"

"Can magic be given to the sand?"

"You can't give magic to such a small sand."

"But why not just draw a magic circle?"

"On that whole farm?"

"Yeah, well, you can draw in different areas."

Bersa thought, "And then ..."

"But what kind of magic circle do you draw? In general, ordinary people can't draw magic circles, because magical tools with magic are rare. Our company is strange. Even so, isn't there one thing in the country? Even so, most of the things that have been made national treasures don't see anything in the eyes of people. "

"But if you're a hero, can you see the treasures of the country?"

"Yes, but what kind of magic circle?"

"Enhancement or promotion of growth?"

"Is there something like that ... Well, no, I'm hungry."

"Let's eat rice."

As I descended into the cafeteria, there was a burning smell of delicious meat.

The cafeteria was crowded with many peddlers who saw it during the day.

"Hey! This is it!"

The peddler who brought him to Nomefield seemed to remember his promise to “drink at the inn at night,” and he seemed to have saved a corner of the canteen.

"What is she?

"President! 』

At that time, a voice of Seth was heard from the communication bag.

"Oh, I'm contacting Seth. Bersa, ask for food and alcohol."

"all right"

I got out of the cafeteria, went to the entrance and put magic into the communication bag.

"What happened? Did you find it?"

"Yes. I found a river with low water and went to the fork. "

"Let's follow that branching river ..."

"Yeah, when I traced, I arrived at the village."

"Ah, really? Is the river flowing in the middle of the village, and houses at both ends of the river?"

"Yes"

"Can't you see a church with a triangular roof?"

"Oh, I see"

"There is only one inn in the village, but I and I are there ..."

"what! ? that person! ! President, something weird! ! ! 』

Kankankankan, Kankankankan

Suddenly, a loud bell ringing from outside was heard.

I immediately activated my detective skill, opened the entrance door and danced out.

"Ghoul! Ghoul has come out!"

The villagers were screaming from the river.
