51 I confess! Actually... (1/2)

”Suddenly, I'm going on a little trip. .

Everyone's expression froze at the sudden request.

”What do you mean? What do you mean? This is an important time when the city is being built, right?

Adelina is also more serious than ever.

I'm sure you'll understand. He wouldn't just say something like that for no reason at all. He wouldn't say something like that without a reason.

The chief soothes him and encourages him to continue.

”Actually, sir, we're running low on materials by any estimate. It is not impossible to gather all the materials in this area, but considering the operation of the city afterwards, it will be impossible to live without a certain amount of things that can be used as materials for the surroundings. I see.

I see, the problem of materials... I hadn't thought of that before because I had left everything to Masaru-dono... Can we do something?

”The children are currently collecting tree seedlings and seeds. Once the seedlings have grown to a certain level in the village, we will have to plant them again in the mountains. I believe that we who use trees need to lend a hand to the forests and mountains to create a rich environment, not just cut them down. It takes many years for a tree to grow, but when it is time to cut it down, it is just a matter of time... If we do not plant trees systematically, it may be too late by the time we realize it. This is a common story on Earth.

This is a common story on Earth. There are still places where trees are randomly consumed by slash-and-burn without thinking. Whenever this kind of story comes up, I really feel the importance of education and realize how superior the environment of Japan is in terms of access to information.

Let's plant seeds by species in the community and grow them to saplings before planting them. If the trees are eaten when they are small, they will not grow. ”You are thinking a lot.

You're thinking a lot. You're thinking a lot, aren't you?” ”Specifically, how long do we grow the saplings and how long do we plant them?

Howl's question is reasonable, but I don't know the criteria.

”I'll leave that to the experience of you hunters. If you plant too narrowly, it will be difficult to grow in the shade and the land will lose its nutrition. Plant a variety of trees with a good balance of species and sizes that are safe enough for animals to eat their leaves. ”I've divided it up.

”I've already divided the plants, so why do I have to plant all kinds?

Yes, it's better to have a mixture of species. Yes, it's better to have a certain amount of variety, because there are risks as well as advantages to planting the same species in a group. What are the risks?

”What exactly are those risks?

Now, Miss Adelina.

”Well, one specific risk is that the trees that don't produce edible fruit won't provide food for other animals, and then there's disease control. The other is disease control. The same species can easily cause a lot of damage from one disease at a time, but different species have their own strengths and weaknesses, which may reduce the spread of infection and the speed at which it spreads. That little bit of time can save a tree. I've heard.

I've heard that when you plant grapes, you plant roses around them, so the grapes and roses get the same disease, but the roses are less immune to it, so they show symptoms first, giving you more time to deal with the grapes.

”Tree disease...I've never heard of it... I've never heard of it.

”I haven't heard much about it,” he said, ”but it's something to be aware of before you hear too much about it. It's too late when there's a lot of damage around. It's too late.

Everyone's voice rang out in agreement.

What else do we have to do?

”Making compost. Specifically, I would like you to make humus. It's a fertilizer made from fallen leaves, monitor lizard droppings, and kitchen garbage. This is also important, so let's try it once with a demonstration. When will you travel?

So, when are we going on our trip?

I'll be there as soon as I'm ready. I'll go first, but I'm not taking anyone with me. No one.

How are you going to get the supplies back from the other side?

That's the plan, isn't it? But I've made up my mind!

”Actually, I have a special skill that I'd like to share with you. ...Please don't tell anyone, okay?

With that, he pulls a knife from the item box into his hand. When he ran out of knives, he took out swords, then spearheads, and by the time he ran out of spearheads, his feet were full of weapons, so he decided not to risk it.

By the time I ran out of spears, my feet were full of weapons. You can store a lot of things with the Item Box skill.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the many weapons that had come out of nowhere and they were all in awe.

It's a skill that's only been used by three elves and three demons in recorded history... No, I can't tell anyone about this. .... It will change the military balance. You can't tell anyone about this either! Not your family! If you're not careful, the government will come after this village. ....

That's Adelina. As the niece of the Knights, she must have received a lot of information. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

And... there's more. There's more.

”There's more?

It seems Ms. Adelina is tired. No, don't stare at me! I don't want you to get into a habit of it!

I'm Masaru Narumi, and I'm from a different world. I'm from a different world.

..................... Huh? No response.

”Um... everyone?

Oh, I heard something about it being from a different continent... was that true?
