Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

When I get back from the dungeon, I'll take a few days off.

That's the pattern of our behavior these days, but every time, there's nothing subtle to do and we're free. So...

"If you don't have anything to do, why don't you do some harvesting work?

We nodded without any particular objection to Natsuki's suggestion.

"So, what do we reap?

Harvest work is between me and Natsuki, and two other groups of five. There is no great significance in this grouping, it simply broke up with Goo and Par.

The large number of Hulkas are responsible for the pruning of vegetable flowers, which have already yielded seeds.

Whatever the disadvantage of having a short time to enjoy flowers, that fertilizer is still useful.

Conversely, if the amount of fertilizer is not properly adjusted for the ornamental flower Kaki, the flowers will be scattered immediately.

"We are citrus. Because it feels like it could already be harvested."

"... oh, that, he's full of lizards, he's struggling with transplants"

Previously, even after transplanting tea trees, I took several types of trees back from the woods that seemed beneficial and planted them in the garden.

One of them is the citrus tree that Natsuki is pointing to now.

It is a long growing, slightly troublesome tree.

Fortunately, thanks to my increased defense on the level, I don't poke around, but it was a little stingy and depressing during work.

"You're safe and fruitful."

Whether it was a good idea to give the fertilizer well, or even after replanting it, without showing how weak it is, it is well flowered and produces a lot of fruit.

Its actually about a turn smaller than the grapefruit, about the size of the middle between the golden citrus and the grapefruit.

The color is slightly more yellow than Micah's orange.

I tried it and the skin is quite thick.

"Doesn't seem like a good eater... but that's a lot of stuff"

"I have something stripped here, would you like to try it?

With that said, Natsuki brought one room, to my mouth, so I honestly pakuri.

"- Huh!?!? Sooo! No tea, no tea! And seeded!

Somehow, it's painfully sour.

Probably sourer than a lemon round.

On top of that, there were so many seeds in one room that when I chewed without thinking, it hit my teeth galloping.

"Right? I was surprised, too."

Natsuki laughs a little bit like a prank.

"You're on the road!

"I can't believe I took you on the road. I want to have an experience with someone I like. Such a pretty maiden heart."

"You're lying!

The smile is cute, and when you only hear the dialogue, you look like a maiden, but what you're doing is a maiden (?).

Absolutely, I'm stuck with sourness, so I'm determined to take him on the road.

"I can use this instead of lemon juice or vinegar orange" sushi, but I can't eat it. "

"That's a little harsh. If you use sugar, you can make it into jam or something..."

"It's expensive, hey"

Indeed, the sugar used in the jam is more than the same amount as the fruit.

Given the sourness of this citrus, I don't think it would taste good without more than 50% sugar, and using unsweetened brown sugar like you can buy around here, your scum would be too strong to taste good as a jam.

Most importantly, sugar is too expensive to make jams effortlessly.

Rather, even if the fruit is somewhat expensive, it would still be cheaper and tastier to make 100% sweet fruit jams.

"Well, will you harvest it first? Left alone, it just rots and falls."

"Right. You won't have to worry about getting hurt, but be careful not to have holes in your clothes, will you? Because I have a lizard."

"Copy that. Keep your arms around me"

Normally I would wear thick long sleeves to protect them, but this reality that my front skin is stronger than my clothes.

I don't have a problem with wearing leather clothes, but it would be better to put up with some tickles if I were to wear something like that in the heat.

That's why we split up into citrus harvests.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Uh-huh, you picked quite a lot, huh?

The amount of citrus served in the cage would be slightly over 10 kilograms.

I would worry about rotting if I were you, but it can be eliminated with a magic bag.

The question is how to consume it.

If you normally eat it and it's delicious, you should hem it to someone you know, but unfortunately it's not that kind of fruit.

"I don't even have much pulp..."

Try breaking down the fruit, the skin, the pulp and the seeds, in a ratio of about 3: 2: 1.

Maybe it's something like this because it hasn't improved the variety, but it's a little unfortunate fruit.

In contrast to a dindle that is similarly native but has no place to throw it away if it is dried fruit.

"I think it's reasonable to normally use it like teak..."

"If you have so many seeds, you don't have to throw them away."

"But there's no use for seeds, is there?

"Some plants fry and eat seeds, right? Hippos and pumpkins. Nuts are the basics, the species."

"... Speaking of which, right?

On second thought, many nuts eat the seed's ren part.

"But there are quite a few species that contain poison,"

"You can't!

"No, citrus would be fine. Sure, the oil should have been removed. Especially since squeezing it efficiently should only take about 10% of the weight, it's not very realistic."

It's troublesome to recover seeds.

Oil has the vegetable flowers that the Hulkas are harvesting right now, and regardless of whether they are available around here, some plants are usually convenient and familiar for squeezing oil, such as soybeans, sesame seeds and sunflowers.

Unless you dare to want oil squeezed from this species, the benefits as an oil squeezing material are small.

"In the end, to the extent that it accompanies baked fish or is used in pots?... Can you consume it?

"Let's hem Aela. I think she'll use it well."

"Is that good? If you put it out in the store, you can spend it."

That said, we should probably refrain from spreading fertilizer on this tree, unless it is also specifically requested by Mr. Aela.

I'd love to be able to plant a dindle anyway, but I can't.

Not to say that transplantation is almost impossible, of course, to grow from seedlings - but it will be by the time we become old people that we can harvest properly.

And most importantly, the neighborhood is too annoying.

Even if you don't think about all those giant trees and sunshine rights, if you grow them all over the city, they're going to complain normally.

Let's hope we can pick some delicious food from the other trees we're planting.

After we finish the citrus harvest, we go to the vegetable flower harvest too.

It was what was spreading the seeds "bulbs" appropriately in the empty areas of the garden, so it was beautiful with vegetable flowers on one side during the flower season, but on the other hand the range to be harvested is quite wide.

Thanks to fertilizer (due to?), and the period during which I enjoyed the flowers was short.

Still, the harvest ended in a few hours or so and a large amount of vegetable flowers were to be piled up at the garden end if we seriously worked away from the people these days.

"Good luck ~"

"Oh. I'm so tired of being plain."

Toya, who should have strength, but the pruning job at the middle hips still seems to come to her hips, turning her hips gritty and exercising.

Is it my heart that looks subtly obscene about that move?

"... Toya, stop it"

Yeah, they weren't just me.

Skip Little Cure "Light Cure" while Hulka smiles a little.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's easier"

So I laughed nicely, and I moved again to emphasize my recovered hips, but...

Spavan!

"So I told you to stop it!

The move was interrupted by Yuki's scratch, which came from behind.

What Yuki has in her hand is... the police "Kesaku"?

Zazen is something that looks like an array that your boy has.

"Ouch! Oh, what!?"

Toya looks back, sees what Yuki holds in his hand and peppers, and rounds his eyes.

"Yuki, what's wrong with that?

"This? Substitute because I can't make Harrison"

No, that's not the problem.

I asked him why he wanted to make it, but Yuki's response was light, "Because I was free".

... Well, I guess I have a use for it. Like now.

"(Hey, Nao. What's wrong with me?

"(Oops. Hip movements were obscene. Mosaic required)"

"(That much?!?)"

To Toya, who I've heard so much about, I answer so much, but softly.

It was a slightly unforgivable move in front of women & children your age, although it might be forgiven if it were just men.

"Harka, can I ask for one, too? A little tired."

"Copy that. I'll put it on everyone."

Hulka nodded at Yuki, who cleaned up the policing and stretched his back, and hung 'Little Cure' on everyone.

It would be a very luxurious use from a normal adventurer's point of view, a rare user of light magic, but for us it is everyday.

"Well, you're dry next. Damn, let's do this!

Besides Hulka, me and Yuki can use "Dry".

As the quantity is high, it is divided and dried, while Toya and the others put it in the magic prop that separates the seeds from the sheath in order from what has been dried.

This demonic prop is naturally also made by Haruka & Yuki, shaped like a longitudinally stretched cotton confectionery maker.

Pull out the stem of the vegetable flower in the center area and it will remove the gagging sheath.

Its sheath is finely crushed, it separates the sheath from the seed and moves it into a monkey that is like a centrifuge, and the seed is in the monkey, and the powdered sheath is outside the monkey.

The last part is structured like Tangju "and Umi", which blows away the remaining debris with the wind, so that only the seeds remain.

"It's an awesome tool!

Meatier sounds happy as she sticks her hands into the seeds that come out rough and stirs them up gritty.

"Wow, wow..."

Mary is also looking inside with interest as she sticks a stem of vegetable flowers into the magic prop and raises a voice that she doesn't understand very well.

"Yeah, sounds good. As designed, I guess?

"The sheath powder rises a bit...... but it's enough compared to manual"

"I can put on a dust collector, but given the frequency of use, I think it's useless."

"Depending on the dryness, there's variation in sheath crushing and separation. Should the drying function be integrated as well?

"Uh-huh, so you didn't really need a separation in the monkey? Ah, but even the monkey part still has the seeds and sheath, so should there be?"

The producers seem somewhat dissatisfied with the purely delightful youth group.

"I can use it normally, so it's not good enough, is it? You're not selling this as a product, are you?

"Well, we're not farmers."

It was a little white gaze directed against our realistic words.

"... well, yeah. It's like a hobby in itself."

"But because it's a hobby, you don't want to look out a lot and make good stuff?

I see. I can understand.

At the time I said "hobby," rationality and economics escape barefoot.

"Oh, no, if it's a hobby, you can do whatever you want. Yeah."

"Yes, yes. We were just wondering if you guys would be bothered."

Waste of money, I'm not going to say anything at all.

Rather, even with the same taste, it is not unproductive, like "Bomb to death with chatter," so it is appreciated.

"Sister Natsuki, the box is going to be full!

"Yes, sir. Let's exchange it."

I haven't stopped working hands while I'm considering it, and the box is full of about 50 litres of container boxes.

Work proceeded while replacing that box, and by the time the third box was almost full, all processing had been completed.

"That's a good amount...... you have more than 50 kilos of this. Should I just keep putting it in the oil mill?

Toya asks Hulka as she lifts the container and shakes the seeds roughly.

"Right...... 'Purifying' all the time. Normally, you fry, don't you?

"Yes, oil should be hard to come out if it stays that way"

"What do you mean, my turn?

When I make tea leaves, when my arm I helped with "Heating" is shown?

"Right. Let's start with about 5 liters a time."

The vegetable seeds Yuki divided into large pans will be heated by me in "Heat".

The good thing about this magic is that it is the 'magic of heating the object', so it can be heated without unevenness. You don't even have to stir it.

Sometimes the nuts take the seeds and crush them with their fingers to check the condition.

Stop heating when the nutty ok comes out and transfer the vegetable seeds to the oil mill.

"After that, it's switched on, and the pressure will be super high. Hey, pop it!

"What, that call!

Some times it's only between putting a scratch in Yuki's strange voice. A quietly moving oil mill crushed the vegetable seeds and yellow, slightly cloudy liquid came squeezing out.

"Oh, I'm out..."

Is it roughly a litre, as far as quantity goes?

Where the oil was almost gone, the compression stopped, and along with the noise of a goose, a disc-shaped object rolled down from under the oil mill.

Hulka picks it up, Concon, and slaps it.

"This is oil. But... maybe a little too much squeeze?

"You're turning into a dick, aren't you? Isn't that a good idea?

"Right. It doesn't look like there's a lot of impurities."

I don't know much about it, but it seems there's no problem. That disc throws into the compost and continues to squeeze oil.

The amount of oil I eventually squeezed was about 20 litres.

"You can use this as a vegetable oil if you leave it still for a while, precipitate the impurities, and remove them."

"Now you can finally eat a decent tempura"

"Ah. That's right. Fried vegetable tempura in lard, hey"

I wouldn't mind fried in lard if it were a ton of cutlets, but when I use lard on tempura and fish tempura with vegetables, it's a little smelly and persistent.

Or, if you want me to buy vegetable oil, it doesn't work either.

Just as vegetable flower seeds have been obtained, vegetable seed oil itself is available, but this, basically, is for lightning, not edible.

There will be no mixing of strange things, but there is anxiety about hygiene.

I also feel like I can manage with the magic of "purification" and "sterilization", but it's a matter of mood, so I can't think of it as "how about".

"Tempura? Is it delicious?

"Oh. We like that, don't we?

It would be nice to have shrimp heaven, kakiyaki, eggplant...

I like to kiss you, but you don't have sea fish.

"I'm looking forward to it!

"But it still takes time for it to actually be used as oil. Meetia, can you wait?

"I can wait! That's why I want something delicious!!

"Wow, I'm interested too!

Mary also raises her hand and claims to Meetia, who jumps pimply.

I see those two with a gentle grin from Natsuki.

"Really? Well, look forward to it. - I'd like to find something suitable for tempura."

I also wondered if there was anything else good in Natsuki that I thought about with such a small grunt.

◇ ◇ ◇

Sedimentation and separation took longer than I thought, and it was more than two weeks after the harvest that I saw the completion of vegetable seed oil.

But so the tempura made by the Natsukis is very tasty, and Mary and Meatier are thrilled to eat it for the first time.

I had no experience with tempura, which was only common people, but I was sure tempura eating at tempura specialty stores was like this, and I hit my tongue.

By the way, my harvest of citrus worked at that time too... well, sidekick. It is a snake foot.
