LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Kasia shoved three or four pieces of meat into her mouth at once and stood up from her seat.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She walked slowly toward the field, chanting a spell.
Nature, the source of all things. Earth that supports everything. With the power of the earth spirits, expel all impurities!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Kugugugung.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As the spell ended, glittering dust like starlight flew above the field, and the ground began to shake as if an earthquake had struck.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then, the densely packed weeds were pulled out entirely, roots and all, in one smooth motion.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…This is amazing, even to me.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Right?! This is incredible! No need to pull weeds one by one anymore. Thanks, Kasia.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
However, it wasn’t just weeds that were pulled out.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Wh-what’s that?!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Where the sparkling things had gathered and emitted a strong light, there swarmed tiny bugs no bigger than grains of rice.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-Hmm? Why are these here…? Ah, so that’s why the soil was so healthy.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Do you know these bugs? I can’t believe so many were hiding in the field… ugh!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“They’re small and cute compared to monsters. There are a lot, though.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I had seen countless bugs while farming until now, but this species was entirely new to me.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Could they have come along with Kasia?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But that’s too many for that to be true.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
・These are beneficial insects among the bugs living in Eliya. They don’t have specific names, but we elves call them the ‘Farmers of Eliya.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Farmers? So you’re saying these bugs actually farm?”
Ah, not that they farm. How would bugs farm?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…I wondered if bugs from another world might even farm.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-Pfft. They’re called that simply because the land they live on becomes fertile and everything grows well. They’re not true farmers, naive one.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When I turned my head, I saw Minjun smirking with one corner of his mouth raised.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Damn it, this is frustrating.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If I stayed quiet, I’d probably get by halfway, but how can I hold back my curiosity?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Then the reason the weeds grew so thick…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-Hmm, it seems the Farmers of Eliya were tending the land.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“But if so many are hiding, shouldn’t we reduce their numbers?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-There’s no need. They regulate their population themselves depending on the surrounding environment.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In other words, these were exactly the bugs I needed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
They not only made the soil ideal for farming but also controlled their own numbers so they wouldn’t become too many.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There was no downside at all.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Kasia, did they come with you when you arrived?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-That’s not the case. If they had come with me, I would know. Hmm… The only time they could have crossed over is when you returned from Eliya. Didn’t you have any guesses?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hmm…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Three years ago, after returning from the Dungeon, I lived like a shut-in, so there wasn’t much that stood out. Then suddenly, something that had heavily influenced my decision to farm flashed through my mind.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Plants! Every plant I tried growing in pots grew well. I guess these guys were around since then?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“That explains it. You said you had a talent for horticulture when you decided to farm, but kept failing at it.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I shot Minjun a glare for dredging up a painful memory I’d almost forgotten.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hmm. So even with these guys, I’d still fail at farming like before? Maybe I should switch entirely to poultry farming…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-Don’t worry about that. Your farming failed because these bugs were actually encouraging the growth of weeds. Since I’ve completely removed the weeds, none will grow in this field for the time being.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just as everything exists for a reason, weeds do too.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
They help stabilize the soil, retain moisture, and decompose dead plants into organic matter—playing positive roles.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But too much of a good thing becomes harmful.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As weeds absorb nutrients from around them, crops wither, leading to farming failure.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You can’t prevent weeds from spreading forever anyway. Let’s try again once they’ve been removed.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I wasn’t blaming weeds for the failed farming, but somehow I felt good about this time.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The weeds had been thoroughly removed, and the Farmers of Eliya were here, so the chances of success must be higher, right?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-If you need it, just say so anytime. I’ll remove the weeds again. Ugh!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Kasia seemed to have overexerted herself and held her head, staggering.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I caught her safely, wrapping my arms around her waist so she wouldn’t fall to the ground.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ahem, thank you. Looks like you pushed yourself a bit too hard.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I told you to eat plenty of meat. It’s good for anemia, so eat up. Minjun bought a lot.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…He didn’t buy it.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-I don’t really want meat… but if it helps recover energy, I guess eating it isn’t bad…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So you just want to eat more meat, right?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Supporting Kasia, who wanted to taste more meat, we returned to the barbecue spot.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-By the way, what are those red and white things? Earth really has so many things I’ve never seen before.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“This? This is called Red Sauce, and this is Salt. Both are dipped in when eating meat. They might be a little strong, but want to try?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She placed a perilla leaf on top of a lettuce leaf, then a large piece of crimson meat with a bit of Red Sauce, and folded it into a ssam.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just the right size to fit in one bite.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ah~ try it.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I nodded, and Kasia hesitated a bit, looking shy before opening her mouth with an ‘Ah~.’ I fed it to her, and she slowly chewed, her eyes widening in slow motion. This is the real pleasure of ssam—folding it up and feeding it by hand.
Wow… Beef really is tasty, but I thought it would be a bit greasy. Red Sauce is truly amazing! The savory and spicy flavors cut through the greasiness, and the crisp texture of the ssam vegetables delighted my mouth.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Kasia kept showering compliments, her appetite fully awakened.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This is the very K-sauce that even foreigners are captivated by.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Try some with salt too.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-I really like Red Sauce.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Kasia was so smitten with Red Sauce that she refused Minjun’s recommendation.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But salt has its own charm.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I should have told you to try salt first. It’s a different flavor, so just dip lightly.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Hearing this, Kasia glanced at the salt, then seemed determined and lightly dipped the corner of the beef into the salt.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But when it came time to eat, unlike with ssam, the raw red juices of the beef were clearly visible, and she couldn’t bring herself to put it in her mouth immediately.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She trembled slightly, caught in inner conflict.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After only eating vegetables, eating red meat isn’t easy…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Or so I thought.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Gulp.
Looks delicious. My saliva is gushing out like an endless mana fountain.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Actually, it was withdrawal symptoms!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After being impressed by the taste of Red Sauce, I was trembling with anticipation for the new flavor, trying to calm myself.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-Hmm. This salty taste is different from Red Sauce. Hmm? It’s not as complex as Red Sauce, but just a little dip neutralized the richness of the large beef piece! Also! Is there anything else to eat with it?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Kasia’s reluctance to eat was completely gone, replaced by an explosive reaction.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Of course, there are plenty of side foods.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Koreans don’t eat food in only one way.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Isn’t ssam enough? Eating it all at once would be boring. I’ll introduce salt next time you eat.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-Hmm. You’re right. The longer the wait, the greater the satisfaction.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Kasia spoke quite maturely.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I’m looking forward to it. I’ll introduce you to other delicious foods too.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-Really? I want to try other foods quickly! Deciding to stay here was definitely the right choice. Haha, that’s my insight.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Minjun, who had been quietly watching, burst out laughing.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He said settling in Korea was good because of the delicious beef.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His unexpectedly cute reaction for his age naturally made me smile.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thus, our friendship was forged through beef.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The next day.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Usually, I’d wake up alone and prepare the chickens’ breakfast.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But today, I wasn’t alone.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Minjun had to return to Seoul at dawn for a Dungeon raid schedule, but…
Awake? Are all humans as lazy as you?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I’m used to waking early to feed the chickens before they get hungry, but Kasia had already gotten up and was waiting in the living room.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You’re up early. When did you get up?”
A while ago. I’ve already been around the neighborhood and am on my way back.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I see. There’s not much to see around here.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-It felt more satisfying than usual because I was enjoying freedom for the first time in a while.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Freedom? Is there any reason you wouldn’t be free in the elf world?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There is. You don’t need to know.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Kasia closed her mouth tightly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She didn’t want to talk about it, so I didn’t press.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Since Kasia pulled all the weeds yesterday, I’m thinking about planting crops. Let’s do the important tasks first.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I led Kasia to the chicken coop.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
These had become routine things.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I scattered plenty of feed in the center.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And in case I couldn’t always feed them, I stacked feed bags against the wall so the chickens could feed themselves.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That was possible because of Goldie.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then I petted each chicken and collected the eggs—though it felt like I was stealing eggs while the hens were away.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At that moment, bustling movement was detected in the corner.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hmm? Oh! Chicks?! They’ve already hatched!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-Hooh. Such cute creatures.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It seemed the eggs I’d left alone, partly to check if Rapid Growth applied to newly hatched chicks and partly to increase their numbers, had hatched.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Fortunately, they all appeared healthy.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Come here~”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I reached out, but the chicks were startled and peeped, retreating and crowding into a corner.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Oh, you were scared! Sorry, Daddy~”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-You should be careful. Didn’t the little ones get scared?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I took a handful of feed and scattered it widely between me and the chicks.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
One by one, the chicks slowly approached and pecked at the feed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Aww~ so cute.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I gently rubbed a chick’s head with my finger.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Its soft down tickled my finger.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then Kasia, watching the chicks over my shoulder, stretched out her long hand and imitated me.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-Cute… indeed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At that moment, Goldie approached, perhaps after finishing his feed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
(We were like that too once. Back then, we followed our owner really well, so maybe they need some training.)
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I’m fine. They’re cute, aren’t they?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
(They’re all cute because they look like us.)
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Goldie nodded and approached the chicks, saying something too quiet for me to hear.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After a moment, the chicks rubbed their heads against my hand, chirping excitedly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
(Glad to meet you!) (Owner, we remember you.) (Heard you’re a good owner.) (I said from the start we should trust you! It’s because of you!)
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Though they were barely born, these chicks seemed to be good friends, probably because they were the same age.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Oh! I have to check Rapid Growth.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I pressed the shining text flashing in a corner of my vision.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Skill Window appeared.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[Communication-Chicken(+)]
As an initial bonding benefit, ‘Rapid Growth’ has been applied. (Applied to 58 individuals)
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I confirmed that the number of applied individuals had increased from 20 to 58.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It’s applied. Then when these chicks grow up, the number of harvestable eggs will increase. I’ll be rich in no time, huh?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Kasia, quietly stroking the chicks, spoke up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-Rich? So I’ll be able to eat plenty of beef? You said that yesterday…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ah? Haha, yeah. If you get rich, you can eat as much as you want, but the chicks have to grow into chickens that lay eggs, which become chicks, then chickens… it’ll take some time anyway.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Kasia looked noticeably disappointed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then she remembered our conversation from yesterday and her eyes sparkled as she asked.
If we farm, we can shorten that time, right? You said you’d plant crops later, so getting rich is just a matter of time?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Well…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Seeds take time to grow into crops. Even wild plants take time. Farming too.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Kasia’s shoulders drooped again.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“We should collect the eggs laid today. Kasia, can you help? Carefully pick them up and place one in each slot on the egg tray.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thanks to the ‘One Chicken Two Eggs’ effect, 38 eggs hatched into chicks in just one day.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Since Rapid Growth was confirmed, there’s no need to rush increasing the numbers.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Let’s decide on increasing numbers after confirming the gender.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
For now, the egg tray isn’t full, but it will be once the chicks grow.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Chicks are in a growth phase, so they must eat a lot of feed, right?’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Checking the storage, I realized the remaining feed wasn’t much.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Remembering raising Goldie, it was clear we’d run out.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He had such a huge appetite.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I need to plant crops and visit the Market as well. Kasia, let’s go to the Market together later.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Oh, Kasia probably didn’t have one where you lived. It’s a place where you buy and sell all sorts of goods.”
Sounds fun! You have to take me with you.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
First, it was time to plant crops.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Since all the weeds in the field were gone, anything planted now would grow well.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So I chose…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Peanut!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Last time, when I decided to retry farming, I had bought red peanuts (seed peanuts).
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I bought them because I heard they were easy to grow, and since it was May, the planting season was perfect.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I brought the bag of red peanuts stored with a moisture absorber from the warehouse.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
They’re called red peanuts because they still have the shell (red skin) on them.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So they contain raw peanuts inside.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“If you press the shell like this, two peanuts are inside. Want to try, Kasia?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
While I was focused on teaching Kasia how to easily peel peanut shells, Goldie, who was wandering nearby looking for something to eat, approached.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
(Target locked!)
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Goldie’s shadow gradually spread over the pile of peanuts.
