9 09 "Lets grow Mandragoras 1" (1/2)

”So now I'm going to try growing a mandragora.

”Mandragora? Why again?

And in front of me a questioning look appears on Lily's face.

Since then, I've noticed that she often shows up here, and now she sits on the other side of the wooden desk in my ramshackle hut in broad daylight with her cheekbones in front of me.

By the way, this guy is an adventurer, right? I didn't ask you about your occupation in detail, but I don't know if you have time to spend here in the daytime like this.

”Actually, I just bought this guy from a street vendor in town a while ago.

And then scattered on the table are a few seeds. Lily looks at it with a dubious face.

The old man at the stall said they were rare mandragora seeds, apparently they were unsold and I bought them for a very good price. It seems that they were unsold and I got a good price for them.

”If you have time to buy it, why don't you start by restoring this raggedy house?

I'll pass through Lily's comment in a brilliant manner.

Since then, the jack-o-lanterns have been growing well, and now I can get a good price at Mina's. But the economy over there is still very difficult, and I'm not getting paid for it.

However, the economy is still in a tough spot over there, so I'm not getting that much money, but at least I've got enough money to live in this world.

So the new investment for my money is, yes! Buy a new vegetable tinder demon!

I will continue to cultivate various monsters in my field and become one of the pioneers in this world!

For what it's worth, I don't really recommend the mandragora.

But as if to put a damper on my motivation, my usual reluctant Lily.

It's not a good idea. Could it be that the mandragora is bad?

No, it's not. Rather, it's a rare and precious commodity that even adventurers rarely find. In fact, it's worth a hundred times more than a jack-o'-lantern.

Jesus Christ. This is a hell of a price. You don't have a choice not to grow this one.

But I wouldn't recommend it: ...... especially for you.

Why? Could it be that? Because if you pull it out, you'll scream and die?

And I recall the lore of mandragora that has been handed down here on earth.

A mandragora. The mandragora is made into a humanoid root that can be pulled out of the ground with a scream, leading to death for anyone who hears it.

Is the mandragora a staple of the fantasy world, and is the mandragora that dangerous, even in this world?

I thought, but Lily shook her head.

”No, it's not that the screaming won't kill you, but ......

”Then it's not a problem. I'll do it. I just had a vacancy in the partially harvested jack-o-lantern zone. I'm going to grow one there to test it out. Then we'll make sure it's ready to harvest, and then we'll grow the mandragora.

I'm not sure if it was me, but she finally gave in and said, ”Well, I'm all yours.

What in the world is she so bothered about?

I see. Okay. So that's what happened.

Now I have a successfully grown and matured mandragora in front of me.

Yeah, of course I already pulled it out of the ground.
