The Magus of Genesis

Episode 13: Germination

"Utah, are you there?

"Oh, wow, hey, wait! Wait.........!

When I visited the house in Utah and spoke from the outside, a hurried reply came back from inside.

I wonder, his little body pops up to be bounced off and rolls down the ground in a gobble.

"……… Are you okay?

"Yes......"

How damaged was he in the sword department? Utah got up in slow motion.

"Oh, sorry, stupid monkey! A little too much for a boulder - alas, Sense. Welcome."

Then the water color appeared and smiled at me as I looked.

No, even if you fix it, you'll find out, won't you?

"Were you having another fight, you guys..."

I sigh when I am frightened by the boulder. Are we good friends or bad people fighting until we come all the way to Utah house?

"Oh, yeah, really, if you're this stupid monkey, I don't know how many times I've told you, so you're in trouble."

"Keep it to yourself."

"……… Fool."

Well, I don't think it has happened before, so I think it's okay... and Nina kicked me in the back for some reason.

Let's get down to business, shall we?

"Yes, yes. I saw something like this, do you know Utah?

"Yeah, it's Mon."

Showing the coins borrowed from Luca, Utah replied lightly.

"Uh, at first, what is it? Sashid from the powder shop made it, for sure."

A flour mill is a profession responsible for wheat grain removal and flour-making. Originally, I floured the wheat I could take in my field from field to field, but when I said it was more efficient to gather it together, I created a powder shop that kept the wheat from other fields and floured it back. That's it, I know too.

"When I put it all together and turned it into powder, I said I wouldn't know where I had deposited how much wheat from, so I gave you a redemption card. He said he would return the powder for what he had left behind."

I see. It's a reasonable way to do it.

"So, everyone got the powder and said to Isido at the bakery... isn't the flour pretty tense? Because it's a pain in the ass to carry, you asked Isido to give you a redemption card and make me bread with this amount of powder."

Isid was Sashid's brother and started a bakery with much of the same history as the powder shop. Whether the fires are exquisite or have any ideas, the bread he bakes is excellent and I also ask for it from time to time. The baked bread I was eating today was also something he made me.

"In doing so, instead of getting someone to help you with your field work when you're not feeling well, you start to give someone else a redemption card… It's also becoming popular when you exchange meat and wheat to exchange a redemption card rather than actually exchange something, and you keep the preservation itself with them and redeem as much as you need when you need it, right?"

"The redemption certificate, that's why."

"This kind of thing, I've made it metal lately. At first, it was Wood Jane, but it broke right away."

To my words, Utah nodded.

...... yeah. Perfectly, the monetary economy is starting.

"We had no idea, why not"

"That's right. If you want a teacher or sister Nina, I don't want a mon, whether it's wheat, meat, cloth or skin. Everyone says," Take as many as you want. "

You know what... I've certainly never been asked for anything before.

Or in the first place, I haven't even bartered in the last 200 years or so.

All the people in the village take the lead when we walk down the street.

I held my head when I realized how sweet I was.

But... money, huh?

I didn't expect this time to come one day.

But I can't believe the villagers created it themselves.

A delightful, lonely, complicated thought comes to my chest.

For development, the concept of currency would surely be an absolute necessity.

At the same time, however, if it necessarily brings happiness to mankind, it cannot be Jesus.

As far as the words of Utah are concerned, now it's just a tool to save time and streamline the exchange.

But one day, there will be a bias... and there will be a difference between the rich and the poor.

Wouldn't that turn this pastoral gentle village into something completely different?

I had such fears.

I have no children in my previous life or in this world, but all the people of this village think like my children.

There's just not a single person who doesn't know his face and name, and he's been staring at that life and death for a long time.

There are no parents who wish for the misfortune of my child.

- But if the child walks out of the house of his own free will, it must be up to the parents to keep an eye on it.

I don't know anything about the economy, I'm just a occult maniac.

It would surely work better to leave it to their autonomy than to speak poorly with halfway knowledge.

"Hey, why are you calling this mon?

As I was puzzled by emotion, Nina asked me that by pointing at the coin in my hand from the side.

"For some reason, you've only been referring to him for a long time."

Utaka answers curiously, twisting her neck.

"Early waking up means getting three sentences. It's a sentence."

Oh, yeah.

I realized that seed grew up on its own, even if I forgot to sow it.

"Then it's time for us to go back. Sorry to interrupt."

After talking to her, Nina forcefully broke off my story by saying so.

Yeah? What is it? Although she is my pace, she rarely does anything to keep others at her own pace.

"No! Ask me anything!

Utaka smiled fondly and replied so.

He didn't grow much taller, but he grew up to be a good young man.

"Yeah, and, uh, water color."

Forever Nina looks back at the water color and looks up at the sky.

"Next week, the full moon."

To the words, the water color made his expression strong all the time.

"Is there something in the full moon? Elf habit or something?

"Come on?"

I ask Nina on the way home, but she just shrugs her shoulders.

This is the one who won't tell me.

"Ah, Shisei, welcome back!

"I'm... we're all here. What's wrong?

When I got home, Luca and Lynn, who asked me to be away, as well as Ruffle and Tia, were all there.

No sneaking around to leave Luca alone while I go to Utah to talk about currency, no wonder she's there because I called Lynn.

"You know, we were talking about making our way."

"Way?"

When I saw them at hand in Ruffle's words, a familiar picture was painted on the spread paper.

Sitting round the center is probably this village. It would be the village of Hiiro.

Closer to it, the tree mark to the east is the home of Nina and the water colors, the elf forest inhabited by Mr. Purple and the herd blue.

A settlement of lizardmen (Lizardmans) with sigs, separating mountains from it.

Heading south, the vast meadows where the Lucas live are stretched out, and further south in the bay lies the home of Lynn, the sea where the mermaids live.

Scales and distances are messed up, but the general positional relationship is not incorrect.

That was, in other words, a map.

"I think it would be convenient to bring the wheat and fur that we were able to get to Hiiro Village, but it's hard to get through these woods."

Luca pointed to a small forest lying between the meadows and the village of Hiiro. It was recently a place known as The First Forest.

Students who learned magic in elementary school were named for visiting to do their first off-campus study. Before, when Luca and Lin had just come to the village of Hiiro, it was that forest where Mr. Purple and I were hanging out.

"Uh... Sure, it's going to be tough to pull the car over there."

Although there are paths through the meadows for once, they are not well maintained. As much as the underlying grass is mowed and somewhat trampled, it has to go beyond the protuberance of the roots of the decomposed trees, and it's not wide enough to pass through the luggage truck.

"So, I wanted to build a waterway with you."

Lynn stretches the line all the way to the map.

"That's too much for a boulder...... isn't it?

I understand her intentions. That is, in short, the way for mermaids to come to this village.

But that line, stretched from the village of Hiiro to the sea, is probably close to a hundred kilometres, if it is the actual distance. It would be a considerable undertaking to build just a path, but the effort would be immeasurable when it came to creating a waterway through which mermaids could pass.

"I'll do my best!

"This girl is strangely motivated. Do something."

Pointing to the ruffle that lets you try to bend your arms all the way to make a force kobu, Tia says in a fed up tone. Sure, it would literally be a hundred manpower if Ruffle could help, but on the contrary, it's to say that there's only a hundred manpower.

"What's the big deal, isn't digging a hole?

"Well... I wonder if that's the hardest part"

To Lynn's words, I nod. Though paving to keep the dug holes from collapsing or drawing water from the river seems difficult, the heaviest labor would be that.

"If it was, I'd know a good way."

Laughs like a prank and garlic. Lynn turned her gaze across the sky and said so.
