An hour passed in the midst of harvesting the tomatoes so Haru substituted Malina.
Malina’s eyes were also wide in shock from the tastiness of the tomatoes when she ate them.
After that, we harvested the tomatoes and placed them into the gunny sack I brought along.
“Nevertheless, it sure is mysterious. For the plants to grow in the blink of the eye. Carbon dioxide, water, and light are needed for photosynthesis. Did the plants absorb the spring water in an instant?”
They should need a large amount of light for photosynthesis right?
How did they gather that required light?
In the first place, why is this world so bright?
Too many aspects are way too mysterious.
“What is so mysterious about creating a spring and growing plants by expending MP?”
Carol calmly pointed out.
That’s true as well.
In the first place, my common knowledge from Japan doesn’t work in this world called Otherworld.
By using magic and expending MP, a person can create fire, stone or water.
So it’s my lost if I focus too much on the details.
“What kind of seeds do you have, Malina?”
“It, it’s the seed of an aquatic plant.”
“Aquatic plant?”
Aquatic plants don’t strike me as edible though.
“Yes, since you already made a spring, I thought of making it into a fish pond.”
Malina said while facing downwards.
“Fish pond huh … it certainly might be fun if we can try fishing or something. Fish may not grow rapidly like the plants but it might be good to patiently wait for them to grow too. In conjunction with fishing.”
I threw the seeds of the aquatic plant into the spring and further accelerated the plants’ growth.
The wheat plants were now shining golden in color.
Looks like now the wheat can be harvested too.
“Ah … We don’t have any of the tools needed for harvesting …”
“Various tools are required as well even after harvesting to convert the wheat into flour so we should only harvest after we’ve prepared those tools.”
I guess that’s true … ha~, if this was going to be the case, it would have been better to plant the seeds of plants like apple plants rather than wheat.
I decided to leave this world for today.
When we returned to the room, Haru was sitting tranquilly beside the double bed.
As though she was a guard protecting the bedroom.
It looked like it would have been perfect if she held a naginata. (TL: Naginata is a type of Japanese blade similar to glaives, like a spear but with a blade made for slicing instead of stabbing)
“Haru, you could have sat on the bed you know?”
“It’s because it is the bed master will be resting on.”
“You don’t have to worry about such things.”
Haru is way too conscientious.
That trait of hers can be both her strong point and her shortcoming.
I’d prefer if she emulated a little of Marina’s impudence.
However, this is indeed Haru’s charming point so I feel troubled.
“We ate plenty of tomatoes so I guess we won’t need lunch?”
Even though lunch consisted of only tomatoes, it felt like a considerably luxurious lunch.
“Then, as planned, shall we go camp out?”
