We have a level system in place for mankind.

Feel the signs of the guardian from the school gym. We killed the signs and headed to the gym. The orc I ran into on the way, I killed him instantly with a shadow blade sabel.

Peek inside through the window at the bottom of the gym. It should have been a slab floor inside, but the floorboards have been stripped off. Springs of division existed in its centre. The fountain appears to be smaller than the Giant Dragon District Fountain.

"Take a look. The guardian is like an orc evolved monster."

Kawai said the guardian is a large oak with a gusty physique about three meters long. Besides, he wears an armor helmet.

"Evolution... more like a General Oak than evolution, huh?

"Is that the general of the oak? The weapon is like Battleax."

It was a big axe that seemed to weigh about eight kilos.

"It seems powerful, but the movement seems dull."

We got ready and got in from the front. As we enter the gym entrance, General Oak looks back and stares at us.

From his mouth lined with sharp fangs, he roared.

"Spread out!"

At my behest, each took a distance. I hear the guardian set a target for me. A shaken up Battleax is swinging down at me.

It's such a powerful attack that it chills. Everyone but me is breathtaking. Only I felt lukewarm compared to the guardian of Giant Dragon District.

When she attacked, she saw Elena squeezing her bow. Take all the distance you can. At that moment, Elena unleashes an arrow and a bursting arrow hits. Drill a hole in the side of the General Oak.

General oak screamed like a scream. Kawai jumped in when he saw it as an opportunity. Raise the great sword and wave it down on the chest of the monster.

Battleax takes the Great Sword.

"Kawai, run!

Kawai trying to escape. General Oak swung the Battleax at his disposal. Kawai blows every great sword. General Oak tried to chase that.

In an effort to help Kawai, I jumped out in front of the General Oak. Battle Axe swung down at me and played it with the pattern of a ring stick. Impact of a broken arm bone. I didn't bounce back, but I succeeded in changing that track.

"Uh-oh!

A jumping river well slipped through my side and slammed a big sword on the thigh of a general oak. Blood erupts from the guardian's feet. General oak poking one knee.

"Ha!

Misaki slipped a sword blade into the guardian's neck. Its neck is slashed and its massive body fluids rise in the air.

I poured my attention into the spinning stick and slammed the spinning blade into the guardian's face.

A guardian who screams and falls on his back. Thereafter it is a slap for all.

By the time I realized, my guardian was about to disappear. Someone stabbed Todome, apparently.

"Who set you up?

When I looked around, Elena raised her hand. The next moment, Elena sat down on the ground to collapse. The pain of leveling must have hit me.

We surrounded Elena and began our perimeter alert. I'm protecting Elena, who can't move anymore.

When Elena was able to move, Misaki asked the question.

"What is the reward for defeating a guardian?

Elena conveyed the words that echoed in her head.

[Defeated Guardian Bellagor. Upgrade any one from your owned skills to level max. Which do you choose?

It was the same reward I had when I stretched "Manipulative Darkness" to Max. Elena chose "The Spirit Man," she said, raising it to level max.

"Control stone next."

"Should I be able to make a talisman?

"Yes, please"

Elena jumps into the fountain of division. A few minutes later, Elena's face, rising from the fountain, had the joy of success.

"I've got a way to make a talisman."

"Good job, good job"

Now I can farm without worrying about being attacked by an oak. We did what we came for, we went back to Higashigami.

Enter the log house and remove the gear. I washed the sweat out in the bath first, then went back to the living room and sat on the couch.

"Cozillow is back from the bath. It's our turn."

Elena and Misaki are heading for the bath so they can swap with me.

Even when I said bath, it was a water bath, so I don't feel tired just because my body is crisp.

"I guess I'll build a solar water heater. Let's talk to Sakuma."

As she glanced on the couch, there were signs that the front door would open and someone would come in.

"Cozillow's asleep"

Maka's jumping on the couch, making sure this one's okay. You thought you were asleep, sitting right next to me, leaning against my body.

I see another sign. Probably Coretica. I sat on the other side and still leaned over. When I open my eyes, Maka and Koretika close their eyes and are generous with a happy face.

My parents are supposed to be dead and sad, but they don't show their dark faces. Sometimes childcare workers, including the gardener, are diligently looking after them, but the children themselves may feel and endure the changes in the world.

"You're so cute."

Misaki raised her voice from the bath. Elena is also smiling next door.

The patchy, open-eyed children jumped at Elena.

"Dr. Elena, I'm hungry"

"Me too."

It's a little dark out there. It's dinner time. Elena and Misaki headed to the kitchen to help the gardeners. Looks like the kids went to the kitchen, too.

When I'm alone, I take out the claws I recovered from the guardians of the Giant Dragon District. Now I'm trying to build a weapon for myself, but I wasn't sure what kind of weapon to build.

The easiest to use is a battle stick. But there's a spinning stick, so it becomes a spare weapon. Besides, as a weapon made from nails, a blade is better suited than a strike weapon.

It was dinner time while I was thinking, and I ate with everyone. The children wanted to know what kind of alien beast they had defeated. When I finished my meal, I went back to my room. And start thinking again about your weapon.

After getting lost, I decided to strengthen the shadow blade sabel. When fighting a big beast like Little Rex or General Oak, the reach is short and inconvenient with a spinning stick or a shadow blade sabel.

So I decided to create a connection that would link the shadow blade servel with the long pattern. However, a large number of triangular nail-like blades are attached to the pipe-like connections that enclose the shadow blade servel at a tip of about 15 cm. The entire connection was fabricated with the guardian's nails, making it a very powerful weapon even without a shadow blade sabel.

Looks similar to a weapon called a Chinese wolf tooth stick. The long patterned part was made from Trent's wood, so it wouldn't break even if it was a little impossible.

The next day, I tried a new weapon. If you don't have to use a shadow blade, it looks like you can take it down if it's about oak.

"Cozillow, I can no longer go exploring with you tomorrow"

Kawai said.

Because of the agricultural boom, planting and cultivation of various crops began, and Kawai was no longer able to go exploring with him because he was rented out for farming.

"Right, is it planting time? You didn't make it to the gas station."

I was trying to use the keys to the gas station to get fuel and to be able to use agricultural machinery, but it didn't seem to be in time for the spring agricultural boom.

We headed to Koyama Farm. When we heard about Kawai, we were worried about what happened to our farmland. While we were on the expedition, the Seekers' Kuroi managed it.

On that day, the Koyama farm was weed extermination where the Mustangs planted potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"Good luck"

When I spoke, the Muto responded with their hands up. Only part of it, but green spreads over agricultural land.

"Heh, so this is the farm of the Cozillows. It's huge."

"Oh, there's a hundred and fifty ears."

"Earl?... 150 in all directions. What are you cultivating?

"Now it's potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"Hmm, you're not just going to grow imo. What else are you going to grow?

"Soybeans, pumpkins, radishes, carrots, onions, leafy vegetables, and wheat."

"Don't you make tomatoes and cucumbers?

"There's a vinyl house"

Misaki nodded by calculating how much food could be harvested from those agricultural lands.

"He said there were other fields, so when combined, we could secure food for the Seeker and his family."

"The problem is livestock feed."

"If you look, don't you still have land you can farm?

"But if you leave Higashigami, farming will be hard. I think it's as far as the Beast District and Xiaolong District are concerned."

"... right"

The answer given by Misaki, who thought about it, was something that the Kozillos overlooked.

"I don't think you can use the riverbed on the East Sand River."

"But that riverbed will be beneath a river that has increased during the rainy season."

Elena pinched the objection. There's a reason we missed it.

"So between the end of the rainy season and autumn, all you have to do is grow crops that can be harvested"

"I see, would you like some kind of grain like abalone, acne, or mortar?"

"You can grow sweet potatoes, too."

"Are you going to use Imo as food for pigs?

"That's not going to make pork tastier."
