Having finished the acre and sprinkled with leeks and potato seeds, I decided to go for a walk to change my mood.
He comes to Howlin Village and the sun is still shallow, and he is oblivious to the terrain around here, so this is how he wears a land survey by finding free time to take a walk.
"Let's move on over here today"
Continue further north through the central square where Leroy lives.
The dense private houses dwindled with dongs, and there were still more fields.
There's a country here, too.
Looking at a number of lined wheat fields, I found something like a tomato field with struts and nets on the way.
A familiar breeding method or a clearly visible red fruit would definitely be tomatoes.
As the green leaves thrive, the brightly colored red red shows quite a bit and the feet move to be invited.
"Ooh! Beautiful colored and shaped tomatoes!
Come closer, it has big, bright red tomatoes.
But this tomato. It's a little different in shape than the normal round tomatoes I know.
It's like an onion with a slightly pointed tip.
Looks like a red onion. What a cutie that is.
When I stroked the surface with my fingers, I found it quite twisted and tense.
"I'm sure it's juicy fruit that stores acidity and sweetness"
"... Hey, you there. Touch it any further. I'll sue you as a tomato thief."
"Huh? Is that me?
Looking back, there was a young man there with sharp eyes on his red hair.
He is wearing black trousers and broken work clothes.
He looked like a Yankee to see, but the inhabitants of this world were basically flashy in their hair, and they weren't that scared because the Wang Du adventurers were much stronger.
Besides, I get the impression that I'm tight around wearing a straw hat.
Are you about my age or a little younger? Probably the closest to me and my age among the villagers I've seen in Howlin Village.
"Oh, yeah"
"Excuse me, I found a rare form of tomato."
"... you, that face you don't see? Is that the guy from this village?
"Yeah, I've been living here lately, it's called Cleto."
"Oh, you're the weirdo man who's been migrating from the king's capital."
For once, was it conveyed that a migrant had arrived from the Wang capital, and the man nodded as he was convinced?
"Are you a weirdo?
"It's unusual to move all the way over here from King's Capital, where you can live a convenient and rich life. Whatever you're hiding, you're not that old with me."
I guess moving to the countryside at this age does fall into an unusual category.
Well, it's not exactly a two-base living, so it doesn't mean a complete move to the country.
"Just because you're rich doesn't mean the king's capital is absolutely good, does it? Because there are many people, and there are many buildings and few nature."
"Yeah, is that what it is? You, you're an easy guy to talk to for the guy from Wang Du. It doesn't feel right."
"That's good."
Apparently, Olga didn't like anyone from Wangdu he met before.
I don't have the hobby of taking a mount just because I live in the city, so you can feel safe around there.
"I just don't like that awe-inspiring tone. How old are you?
"Twenty-seven."
"... you're surprised for your face"
"Leave me alone"
Andre and Stella surprised me too, so I guess I still look younger from people in this world. Well, it's better than looking old.
"I'm Olga doing a tomato farmer here. Twenty-two years old, but how about a mouthful of men close to their precious age in the village?
"Right. I wanted a near-old friend over here, too. Greetings."
Olga came out with her hand as she suggested, so I shook my hand back firmly as I gave it back with my mouth too.
Just because I'm younger, I'm not going to be wearing a small vessel that would make me angry if they didn't use respectful language.
Sometimes in my previous life, I was used by younger elite men.
More than that, now I'm more than happy to have an acquaintance of the same sex close to my age.
When I let him out of his gritty hand, there was quite a bit of dirt creeping up in my hand.
"I'm sorry, that was on purpose."
"You fucked up."
When I saw Olga's face laughing like the prank was a success, I felt like I was going to get along with this guy.

"By the way, what kind of tomato is Olga growing?
I washed my hands dirty by Olga, and I went back to the field and asked what I cared about.
Unlike regular tomatoes, the tomatoes grown by Olga have pointy tips and are shaped like onions.
Probably not the same kind of tomatoes that are commonly distributed.
As a merchant, I am concerned that there are ingredients that I have never seen before.
"I don't care what kind of tomatoes they say, they're just normal tomatoes."
But Olga, who was asked, answered that way with a wrinkle between his eyebrows.
Even though, he looks like he's cutting a mench because he looks like a Yankee.
"Normal tomatoes have a rounder shape, don't they?
"Really? I only know these tomatoes we grow. Even if you go to a nearby village to sell it, you can't go any further."
Hmm, Olga herself doesn't seem to get very far.
Well, it's a different world outside the village with demons that attack people. You're not going to do anything to get to a distant city until Olga, who's just a tomato farmer, commits a danger.
"Hey, can I have one?
"Wait a minute. He's not ripe, so leave him alone."
I said as I touched the tomatoes close to me, Olga just did her gaze to determine how mature she was, and she took something different and gave it to me.
Is it something that you can tell at first sight that you have been growing tomatoes for many years? Wow.
"Thank you. I'll take that, then."
I'll thank Olga and then try to smell the tomatoes I received.
The aroma of tomatoes containing a little blue odor is firm.
I stroke it and my fingers slip, and its smoothness makes me want to touch it forever.
"Come on, eat."
"Wow, I know."
When I love tomatoes, I wear them because I got stuck in Olga looking frustrated.
The bumpy skin plays, and the acidity spreads with plenty of water.
Soft pulp dances over the tongue and spits out the natural sweetness of the tomatoes firmly.
"Ooh! Sweeter and more sour than regular tomatoes!
"I mean, what about that?
"It means it's not tearful, it's delicious! More than any tomato I've ever eaten!
"I was more confident in the flavor, but I don't feel bad when Cleto tells me I lived in Wang Du."
To praise him honestly, Olga had loosened his mouth plainly.
Again, I guess I'd be happy to be complimented on what I'm struggling to raise.
Due to its shape and deliciousness, I knew it would be different from regular tomatoes. The moisture and flavour in the tomatoes are different. Then the balance between sweetness and acidity is also well balanced.
This is more amazing than he thinks.
But Olga at heart has never moved from around the village of Howlin, so I have no real sense of it.
Rather, it's enough to grow these tomatoes thinking they're normal.
Honestly, you can sell this flavoured tomato as a brand.
A chef at a fancy restaurant must want to use it.
A leek grown in Andre's house, the village of Howlin is grown with crops with different characteristics than in other areas.
But everyone growing up on the periphery doesn't realize the special nature of it.
"Don't make me want to sell you this well..."
Finding these hidden specialties is both the flavor of the merchant. It's painful to put your eyes on something that everyone doesn't realize and sell it for a solid value.
Since the village of Haulin is quite a distance from Wang Du, it would be impossible to wholesale it to Wang Du's shop.
But if I had the ability to transport it right away with the transfer, the tomatoes wouldn't hurt on the road either.
... Wouldn't it be possible for me to contribute to the village just by trying as usual?
Honestly, it was unwilling to involve work in the village of Howlin, but I can't bear to find such a good thing.
Transport the wonderful vegetables of the village of Houlin only when they return to the Wang capital. Yes, if you make the rules within yourself, you won't be bringing a big job here.
"Hey, Olga. Why don't you sell these tomatoes in the king's capital?
"Huh?"
