Chapter 76 (2/2)

「And so, you want me to do something about it then」

「Umu. It is His Majesty’s favorite Senjukou. I thought that

if it is you, you might be able to do something about it」

「You overestimate me. Well, I already found a solution though」

「Is that true!」

Ruby’s eyes sparkled.

I came to the orchard’s place.

I stood in front of the healthiest tree within there, and said to Ruby.

「What is the main crops that were grown here originally?」

「It’s this. It’s called Arrose」

Ruby reached out a seed casually.

That is something that I ate almost everyday, it’s like rice.

「I see, it’s this huh」

「It’s planted during the spring, and harvested in autumn. It takes a long time until it grows, the grace period until it tilts due to the abnormality is very long too so we are troubled by it」

「It’s really like rice huh」

「What are you going to do with that?」

「Just look……『Synthesis』」

I chanted the magic.

The light enveloped the seed and the tree, and the two fused.

After the light settles down, the thing that appeared was a tree that was a level smaller.

A tree that is comparatively small, just as tall as an adult man; there were many fruits in that tree.

「This is……Arrose huh」

「That’s right」

「An Arrose tree, you say?」

「Probably, it only needs to be planted once, and harvesting several times within a year is possible. The problem’s solved with this right?」

「……」

*Poka〜n*, Ruby dropped her jaws.

「What is it」

「What is it or whatever……」

She looked at me with an unbelievable expression.

「Not mentioning the problem being solved, this is an evolutionary thing」

「Is that so?」

That might be true, though.

「Either way, there’s no difference that the problem was solved right?」

「U-Umu. That’s exactly right. It’s exactly as you said」

Ruby regained herself, stared at me straight, and said.

「I thank you, Senjukou」

Ruby was very very thankfulーーwell, that’s good, but.

This Arrose tree, and later on, with King’s final word.

「The name of this variety is Lucio」

And just like that, it was named like Sasanis.h.i.+ki. (TL: j.a.panese rice created as mixture of Sasas.h.i.+gure and Hatsunis.h.i.+ki)
