Chapter 100

After solving the incident in the tourist city of Vizer, which began with that resort trip, a few days had passed since we returned to Abatoks Village.

“Ugh…”

“Why such a scary face? It’s fine, it’s great!”

The season had shifted from spring to summer around the time I arrived in this world and was setting up a stall in the capital. The days I spent in the tourist city of Vizer were at the peak of summer. Now, the heat was gradually subsiding, and it was probably around the beginning of autumn.

“Grr, but from an artistic standpoint, it’s rather boring…”

“What’s wrong?”

In front of Delphi’s house, the fire salamander sub-human artist in Abatoks Village, I found myself arguing with Delphi. Lady Reire approached us and called out.

“Ah, Reire, you’re just in time.”

I showed Reire something there. It was a new glass craft I had asked Delphi to make. I was thinking of creating a new product to sell in the capital.

“What do you think?”

I showed Reire a transparent flower made by processing glass. It was a single cut flower made of glass.

“Wow! What is this? It’s beautiful!”

Reire’s excitement was evident. Good, it seems to be well-received by girls.

“By the way, it’s shaped like a flower, but the inside is hollow. You can color it by adding colored water.”

“Amazing! I didn’t know you could make something like this!”

Usually, Delphi was just seen as an eccentric artist. Reire’s impression of Delphi seemed to have improved significantly after seeing this work.

“You should focus on this kind of art from now on.”

“Boring!”

Delphi crossed his arms and snorted.

“It doesn’t suit my sensibilities! I won’t make it again!”

“Ah, what a waste… Oh, right, Reire. By the way, I also had Delphi make this.”

I took out a plate. It was a transparent glass plate with a frosted, uneven pattern on the surface, making it look like it was made of ice.

“Wow, it’s well-made…”

“I’m thinking of taking it with me when I go to Second Abatoks Village.”

“Oh, it would be perfect for serving sashimi.”

Thanks to Reire’s efforts, we managed to make sashimi, but it required someone who could use freezing magic, which we didn’t have. Since Reire usually acts with me, we are consulting her family, the Glossam family, to see if they can provide the necessary personnel to ensure a continuous supply of sashimi in Second Abatoks Village. Anyway, after returning from the resort, we continued to live a peaceful life in Abatoks Village while developing new products and items.

“Mako!”

Maul and Meala arrived. These are the twin Beowulfs, the first sub-humans I encountered in this world and who now live with me.

“What’s up?”

“Uga has grown a new vegetable!”

“This time, it’s a kind of yam…”

Previously, Uga successfully cultivated potatoes. The potato chips made from these potatoes are now popular in the capital.

“Hey! Mako!”

When I went to see, Uga was standing there, holding a long vine and a purple yam that had grown from it.

“What do you think?”

“Wow! You’ve successfully grown sweet potatoes.”

Uga was holding a sweet potato. Thanks to the liquid fertilizer I generate with my skill, the village’s fields have become soil where any vegetable can grow regardless of the season or climate. Driven by his own curiosity, Uga has been cultivating vegetables he obtained through the Weebleu family.

“What do you do with this yam? Do you bake it?”

“Yeah, baking it is the best way to eat it.”

I immediately used my Alchemy skill to generate aluminum foil. I washed the harvested sweet potatoes, wrapped each one in aluminum foil, and started a campfire. After a few minutes, I put the aluminum foil-wrapped sweet potatoes into the fire.

“It’s done!”

When I took them out of the fire and opened the aluminum foil, steaming baked sweet potatoes were ready. Hmm, they look delicious! Sometimes I really crave baked sweet potatoes from street vendors. I immediately distributed the baked sweet potatoes and we all tasted them.

“Delicious!”

“The yam is incredibly sweet!”

“We should sell this in the capital too!”

Maul and Meala were munching away, looking very satisfied. Other Beowulfs also started to comment.

“Wow, Uga is really on a roll.”

“Yeah, he was also highly relied upon by the Berserkers in the tourist city’s village.”

“Yeah! Next, I’m thinking of trying to grow fruit trees, not just fields!”

Uga, praised by everyone, declared proudly. Oh, fruit trees?

“I’ve also been talking with the Weebleu family head and studying from books recently.”

“If you manage to create an orchard, that would be amazing.”

I was impressed by his creativity. Uga has truly become the King of Agriculture.

“Who would have thought this was Uga…”

“From the Uga who was once known for being a fool…”

Lam and Bagos looked at Uga’s growth with a distant gaze.

“Oh, by the way, Mako. I sent some vegetables from this field to the Rabinia siblings in Second Abatoks Village the other day.”

“What? To Lunato and the others?”

Wow, I didn’t know that. Indeed, when we were there, Uga and the Rabinia siblings seemed to get along well. I didn’t expect he was doing something like this.

“And I received a thank-you letter.”

Uga took a letter from his pocket. Inside was a folded letter with words of gratitude from Lunato and Mu, and a paw print stamp from Pokota.

“Greetings, the mornings and evenings have become quite cool, making it a comfortable season. How are you, Uga? The vegetables you sent us were very delicious. Not only for the care you showed us here before, but also for such thoughtful consideration, it is an honor beyond measure—…”

So polite! So formal!

Lunato is so serious.

“Oh, is he corresponding with a girl?”

“His real life is really fulfilling…”

Lam and Bagos looked at Uga with a distant gaze again. Then,

“Mako, you also have a notification.”

Gurai, a tall and lean sub-human of the Ogre race, approached with an envelope.

“For me?”

I took the envelope and opened it. The sender was the Adventurer’s Guild.

“…Could it be?”

“Yeah, it seems they finally called you…”

Gurai scratched his head and said. I took out the letter and read the contents. In short, after the incident in the tourist city of Vizer, various institutions in the capital have started to take action against the demon race. The Royal Knights, the Magic Academy, the Holy Church, and now the Adventurer’s Guild want to hold a meeting with high-ranking officials and top adventurers, i.e., S-rank adventurers, to determine future policies. Additionally, there are a few people in the capital who want to meet me, and the tone of the letter was a bit ominous.

“It looks like I’ll be busy.”

I sighed. However, it’s been a while since I visited the capital’s direct store and other places, and there are people I want to greet, so I’m not against going to the capital.

“I also want to visit my family. I don’t want to worry my parents.”

Reire said. She, like everyone else, seemed eager to come along.

“Alright, let’s start preparing then.”

The next stage is the capital. There, new encounters await, including S-rank adventurers and others I haven’t met yet.
