Chapter 373: Laporal
"What’s the agenda today, boss?" Bam asks as Elaina and Bam’s family are looking over at the empty tilled field.
They are now ready to begin planting new sumr crops after getting delayed for a bit and Elaina wanted to begin planting new crops this ti around.
"I got a new seed that would grow into fruits this ti around. We should grow a lot of them this ti around and fill half of the field with it. I have enough seeds to fill the place up. As for the rest, we will plant the last year’s crops we planted. Prioritize the corn as that will help increase the feeds we can use for the poultry and we don’t need to buy more of them during sumr."
"Alright Boss, but what is this seed you are going to plant anyway?"
"Well..."
Elaina then rembered the little talk that she had with the God of Farming that led to her getting the seed this ti around. She just finished her tasks and made sure the kids had finished taking a bath and breakfast before they hung out with Julia and the others when the God of Farming sent a ssage to her.
"[Elaina, a mont before you head out to work.]"
"Sothing wrong?"
"[Not at all. But I have a task for you which involves planting a new plant and spreading the word about it. You can say that it is going to be one of the new plants you will be spreading once it starts growing fruits.]" the God of Farming revealed.
"A new plant? Is this like the plants like before?" Elaina asked.
"[No. This ti around, the seed developed is not a prototype but a final product. It is one of the fruit seeds developed by
and the Goddess of dicine with our combined efforts. Rember that ti when we quarreled about so dicinal fruits? Well, after that, we did start working together and now we have developed this seed that you will be planting. No need to write observations about it, you will find the information on the final product in the almanac itself. Should be in the fruit shrubs category and in the sumr section.]"
Elaina summoned the Almanac and flipped through the plant categories and the sumr section. Once she found the fruit shrubs, she didn’t take too long to find the fruit itself that would be introduced to the public.
----
[Laporal]
Type Category: Fruit/Fruit Shrub
Growing Season: Sumr, Fall
Regular Growth Duration: 10 weeks to full-grown shrub, 3 weeks to produce fruit
Fruit Production: 3-4 fruits per shrub
Fruit Regrowth: Yes (Produce new fruits 2 weeks upon initial harvest)
Information:
A new fruit produced by the combined efforts of the God of Farming and the Goddess of dicine. A juicy and plump fruit that can be eaten or converted into juice, perfect for the Sumr season. It can survive intense heat and can even grow in deserts without any need for water but its growth rate will double and its fruit production will take a lot longer than usual. In regular conditions, the regular growth duration will be applied.
Since it was a combined effort of the two gods, this fruit also has dicinal properties that help rejuvenate skin cells and is good for the skin which are beneficial to people who have acnes and skin problems. Since it is also a watery type of fruit, it can also help with preventing dehydration by just consuming one fruit. It cannot replace water but it is a good alternative until one drinks water. Last but not least, it can help n and won gain an increased boost of fertility, allowing them to gain the chance to have a baby even if one or both of them are infertile. It won’t solve the fertility issues of infertility since it doesn’t boost fertility to its fullest potential as fertile people do, but they are now given a chance to make babies after consuming fruit.
-----
"Eh?! It can solve fertility issues?!"
"[Elaina, it doesn’t solve it, but it does help.]" the God of Farming answered.
"But what does the last part an?" Elaina frowned. It’s clear in the passage that it can help infertile won conceive.
"[Ugh, how does she explain this...]" the God of Farming struggles to explain it when the other Goddess arrives and joins in the conversation.
"[It ans that their fertility will be revitalized for a bit but only for a short period. And conceiving is also just a chance, not sothing that is guaranteed for infertile won. It will be guaranteed if the woman is fertile but she struggles to conceive for so reason but for unfertile won, they gain chances, but not a guarantee. Sa with the infertile n minus the conceiving part.]" the Goddess of dicine explained.
"What are the chances?" Elaina asked. This matter is a very big piece of news and she can’t just ignore this at all. After all, this is quite a big issue for people who can’t conceive. If this fruit is introduced, that ans this thing will be really going to be a sensation.
"[30 percent. It’s not a big boost, but it does allow one to gain a bit of fertility if they are unfertile the mont they consu a Laporal. As ntioned before, it isn’t a guarantee and the chances are lower, but it isn’t zero and they do gain the chance.]"
"So it cos to luck if they get pregnant or not or if a man can fertilize a woman or not. But considering that this is sothing for infertile people, isn’t this a big discovery already? This will stir the world!"
"[Which is why we are doing this. To allow families to be made instead of a lonely one.]" the God of Farming said, seemingly smug about the achievent.
"[Don’t be too smug about this, after all, this idea is not sothing you ca up with.]"
"It’s your idea, Goddess?" Elaina asked.
"[Not my idea either. It’s the idea of the Goddess of Fertility and Pregnancy. She wanted the issue of infertility to be solved but since that matter is hard to do so she decided to ask us to make this fruit. Honestly, I didn’t even think about that matter even though that problem is sothing that is also part of my job as the Goddess of dicine but now that the Laporal exists, it is partially solved. It’s not getting rid of infertility, but it helps the poor people who wanted to have children to finally get the chance to have one.]"
"[We will be giving 2 pouches worth of seeds containing only Laporal seeds. And although it ca from , this seed doesn’t have any boosting effects like the seeds you purchase in the Catalog, Elaina. Even if the catalog seeds have the regular seeds either. If you want to boost its growth rate, the fertilizer that the Harvest Goddess has is your only chance to cut the ti significantly.]"

And with that mory still fresh from Elaina’s mind, she grinned.
"Sothing that might blow up soon. Alright, people, let’s get this started!"
"YEAH!" everyone enthusiastically raised their trowels and everyone went to work as soon as they could.
Elaina directs the group on how to properly plant the seeds, how far apart they are to be planted, and how many in a row should be planted. Like before, she added fertilizer to the soil, which will boost the growth rate of the plant. It won’t take too long now but it will still take so ti. But even if it does take ti, Elaina is excited about this. After all, this fruit will totally help a lot of people this ti around. Not just people who struggle with conceiving a baby, but infertile people. Having a boost of fertility alone is sothing that many people who are desperate enough to have children will imdiately grab. After all, those people are only wishing for a miracle, and with this fruit, that miracle will co true.
Still, Elaina didn’t expect that the Goddess of Fertility was the one behind this matter. Perhaps because she was a fertility goddess, Elaina thought it would be easy for her to solve the infertile cases. It seems that wasn’t the case. And now that this fruit exists, it seems that the wish of the Goddess of Fertility is also fulfilled. Even if she is not the main creator of the fruit, she indirectly caused the creation of the fruit so one could say that she is the reason the fruit exists in the first place. Without her suggestion, the fruit will not be made by the two gods.
One might not fully understand but for Elaina who has seen this matter multiple tis back when she was still the empress of the Luminiera Kingdom, many people wanted to get a kid so much to the point that they would curse the people who were pregnant with twins which are also supported by the weird religion of the kingdom about this custom, which further enhances the discrimination of twins. Now, with this fruit existing, Elaina can finally get rid of that custom.
