Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

Another 2 weeks.

What splendid corn was in our home garden.

"It's too soon, isn't it? You grew up many times faster."

"Yes, I'm curious about the taste, and the safety."

"Let's just harvest it, shall we?

"Right. Put it in a magic bag immediately after harvesting. Because as soon as you leave it in the sweet corn, it loses its sweetness."

Copy that.

It's a variety that you can't originally expect to be sweet. You should be careful around that.

The corn harvest is very easy.

If you grip the fruit and fold it down, you can easily fold it off.

I didn't plant as many as I did, and if the three of us harvest it, it'll be over soon.

The only thing that looks like is that the corn sold in Japan doesn't have a bad color, which is more splendid than what I bought in Kerg.

Try one of those in a quick pan. The water looks pretty tasty.

This is all I can see and it's a huge success...

"... from whom do we eat?

"This kind of role is, after all, Toya, right? Shall I call you?"

It's natural that Hulka, who can be treated, is the most excluded, but Toya's [stubborn] level is the highest, not that Toya is in charge of Othi or anything like that.

So I suggested it, but Natsuki raised her hand with a slightly sorry look on her face.

"No, that's just... [stubborn] levels are the same for me, and [poison resistant], so shouldn't I be eating here?

"Instead, it's not good because it's [poison resistant]? Even if Natsuki doesn't have a problem, no one else can, right?

"Right? So I reject Natsuki's proposal."

"Really...... will you be okay?

"No, I don't think there's anything wrong with that, normally, you know? Eating meat from demons, now, right?

Yes, our usual meal is demonic meat.

How can you say this to a crop made of that meat and grown with that fertilizer now, let alone now?

It's just that it's creepy to grow too fast.

I don't think it's necessary, but it's a one-off insurance policy.

"Corn, you said you harvested it?

"Heh, you got a good one, huh?

Skip the detailed explanation, Toya and, just in case, Harka have been calling along.

"Oh, we had some water, so you can eat Toya. Here."

"Oh, Mr. Kew. Ahm...... yeah, out-of-the-box yummy? The skin is a little stiff and feels a little powdery, but sweeter than I thought"

"Oh well, that's good"

"Oh? Don't I have one?

Yuki pulls Hulka's hand and gently slaps him in the ear when he says so.

Then the look of understanding spread to Hulka, pointing her gaze at Toya like she saw something a little pathetic.

No, it's not mean you didn't let Toya know, is it?

I just wanted to get an opinion without prejudice and without abomination.

Toya doesn't even notice our gaze like that and eats up a bottle of corn in a short amount of time.

"Yeah, it was delicious. I could make a lot of this. - Hmm? What's the matter with you?

"... is there a problem?

"Problem?... Oi, no other sign of eating corn? I didn't even eat Halka."

Now he realizes that, and Toya turns a frivolous "uh-huh" look at me.

"Have you noticed?"

"I'll just notice! Oh, what? Me experimenting with human beings?

"People don't listen well. I broke my stomach when I was all set, so I just had the sturdiest guy cut me off."

"Same thing - no, well, it's a reasonable decision. Tell me first, I won't refuse."

Toya sighs as she stops talking on the way to complain to me.

I'm sure you understood the rational judgment, but I don't think you can interpret it.

"I also wanted to hear your taste rating. If you eat suspiciously, you can't ask me what I honestly think, can you?

"I know that, too."

"Excuse me, Toya. I was gonna do it."

"No, if Natsuki does it, I know I should do it, so don't worry about it"

Toya sighed and shook her head again as Natsuki apologized and couldn't say anything more.

"Then it's tomorrow we'll eat. If Toya's not well either, talk to Harka."

"Copy that. I think it's going to be okay. Status notation status remains' healthy '."

"... Speaking of which, you had that feature?

I totally forgot, but I could see something like that in my status.

"That's a relief."

"I guess."

◇ ◇ ◇

Apparently I can quite trust the 'state' of the status.

Fortunately, Toya was pimped even the next day.

It doesn't look like she broke her stomach, so we can safely try the corn.

As for the taste, it's like Toya said.

Not as sweet as sweet sweetcorn, but sweeter than off sweetcorn.

Just a little powdery reminds me of a little imo, new texture as corn?

Let Natsuki say that Flint seemed a little mixed, but I have never eaten a corn called Flint seed, which is an analogy I don't understand.

But definitely delicious, so expand the garden home garden a little and plant new corn.

This rate of growth is likely to yield two or three more times during the normal fertility period.

"But we've expanded the vegetable garden area somewhat, and there's an overwhelming amount of compost produced, rather than the compost consumed."

"Yes, it's a pretty good compost and should I go on sale"

"If you don't do that, it won't decrease."

The amount of compost continued to increase daily.

We don't have any trouble with magic bags. It's our business, but lately all the demons we've defeated have been thrown straight into magic bags and dismantled when we get home. That's when he was turning things into operations of throwing them into the compost.

The advantage of this is that no time will be taken to dismantle it, so there is no need to worry or be alert to other demons because of the smell of blood.

Besides, it's much easier to do the work at home than to dismantle it in the woods.

The resulting increase is the unusable compost.

"But how do you sell it? You can't sell it high without emphasizing that it's different from normal compost, can you?

"In a way, I don't mind if it's cheap because it's the disposal of unnecessary items... would it bother an existing vendor"

Farmers may be happy, but if you take it to someone who currently sells compost, if high-performance compost is sold for the same price, it won't be "occasional".

I don't know if you have a compost specialist, but if you're making it a business, they definitely resent you.

Conversely, if we were to use this as a business, we would have some hands on crushing the competition with dumping, but since we are not going to do that, we would not sell it cheaply.

"He's the one at times like this."

To the words of Hulka, we looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"So you want to sell that fertilizer?

Mr. Diola in trouble - so I came to ask.

"Yes. Is there any good way?

"Fertilizer that grows many times faster - if that's true, I can definitely sell it..."

"Oh, we can provide samples, can't we? If anyone is also a farmer I know..."

Hulka suggests that to Diola, who turns a slightly skeptical gaze.

We thought it was unusual, so we can't believe it without actually using it.

"I understand. So can I have a couple of bags? Farmers I know, I'll give a few houses a try."

"Thanks. That'll help."

"No. Because if it's true, it's amazing. But... Mr. Halka, you're adventurers, aren't you?

"Ha ha... because it's a by-product of making a little crop in the garden"

"Sure, if you're in that garden, you can make about a field. But you don't have to grow vegetables in the garden to make money."

We were turned to look at each other in a daze, and we laughed bitterly.

In fact, it would be more profitable if you killed even one of the demons for the time you were in the home garden.

But that's not what home gardens are for, is it?

You can't convert costs and fees to the harvest. Because it will be empty.

"That's it, this is this?

"Half hobby, so"

"Most adventurers struggle with the day's rent, but the Hulkas are graceful."

"Thanks to you"

"I think it will be a while before we get results from using fertilizer..."

"I don't mind. It would be helpful if you could also tell us how much the price would be appropriate and how much farmers could buy."

"I understand. Let me ask you something."

◇ ◇ ◇

I have provided Mr. Diola with a sample of fertilizer for approximately a month.

It was then that the results were communicated by her, who seemed somewhat excited.

"Hey, what is it, that! I'm really growing up more than 3x faster!?"

"Oh, did it work properly? So, what's the price?

"It works too well. The price is...... hard to be honest. Given the yield, it's even 30 times cheaper than regular compost. Farmers said they'd buy it."

The value of the fertilizer, described by Ms Diola, was higher than imagined.

First, the effective use of land.

Normally, crops that can only be grown once can be grown three to four times, so the yield increases dramatically.

For that matter, the amount of work will increase, but not simply triple or quadruple, so the profits will increase significantly.

Next, pest control.

Just because plants have tripled their growth rate does not mean that insects have tripled their growth or travel rate. Simply taking the same measures as before reduces the damage to less than a third. It goes without saying the advantages.

Especially in this world, where labor costs are low, there is no reason not to hang them, if just the hassle of doing so increases yield.

The only drawback was the water, which seemed to be scarce and needed irrigation for the fast growing minute, but in this relatively water-rich area it did not seem to be that much of a problem.

"But more than that, it can also be a strategic supply, this"

"Is it strategic supplies?

"Yes, this fertilizer is of tremendous value in places where there is relatively little land left over but suitable for cultivation. So maybe there's a chance that the sidelines will go in..."

I see.

If more food can be made in less land, will it increase the power of the war?

In modern times, population and national power would simply not be proportional, but the fundamentals would be that the larger the population in this world fighting with swords, the stronger the national power.

"When that happens, better not sell it?

"No, what are you saying, but it's too late. I've offered it to several houses..."

Mr. Diola frowns like he's in trouble for saying so.

If there are many people who have already found out the effect, even if they stopped talking, it would leak from somewhere.

If so, doesn't it make much sense to stop selling now?

"I don't think it's going to be that bad, but maybe the state will ask you to disclose your laws."

"To that extent, well..."

"Right. I'm not trying to make a lot of money with this."

"Yes, I don't mind disclosing it if it's troublesome"

"Really? But in the meantime, I'm going to try to move a little bit."

With a slightly surprised look on his face, Mr. Diola said that to me.

That's dependable.

"Thank you, Mr. Diola. How do you think we should sell it?

"If you're going to sell it, I'm going to buy it anywhere," he said, "but as the Hulkas, it's hard to handle one thing, isn't it?

"Right... Shall we even build a vending machine?

"Vending machine, is it?

To Hulka's words, twist Mr. Diola's neck.

Naturally, there are no vending machines in this world.

Finally, there is no unattended sales office. Neither security nor morality is so good that it is a promise to be stolen if left unattended.

"When you put the money in, a certain amount of fertilizer comes out of the magic equipment?

"You have that stuff. It's my first ear."

"No, it's not in the book, is it? I thought I'd make it."

"Make... Speaking of which, Mr. Hulka was an alchemist. That's amazing. Well, that won't take long."

"In our case, we don't stay home most of the time. Is the price... about 10 times as good as regular compost?

"Isn't that good? You just have to make some money."

When I agree with Hulka, the Natsukis snort again.

Honestly, since it is the disposal of compost that builds up and is in trouble, it is sufficient to sell it over time.

"Is that good? You can sell it for a lot more, right?

"It's not a problem because it's profitable enough. - Oh, what can I say instead, can I get vegetable seeds or something? Because I want to grow it in the garden."

"That's good. I would like leafy vegetables if possible. Because it's hard to get fresh stuff."

"I understand. I'll collect the seeds. That vending machine? Let me know when that's done. I'll let the farmer know."

"Please. Because I think I can do it in a few days or so."

Because it was a simple structure to sell just one type of product, as Hulka said, the vending machine was completed in just a few days or so.

What a manpower power.

Only the false gold determination part is used demon stone, but the part that sends out fertilizer is moved by the person who comes to buy it turning the handle.

Would it be a big capsule toy machine if I told you a lot about it?

Install that by creeping some of our exterior walls.

The usage is well illustrated and posted, and seems to have been understood by farmers without any problems, and has increased sales volumes smoothly.

I also got the vegetable seeds I was asking for from Mr. Diola safely, and now they're smoothly creeping in the garden - and growing up fast enough to say no, Shrubber.

That's how we got new revenue streams and fresh vegetables.
