Shigenobu-san has been living in this world for more than half a century…… Well, this world doesn’t have the concept of centuries, but in any case, he has been living in this world for a long ti and told us many interesting stories.
What particularly caught my interest was the foodstuff from the other world…… from the world we were in.
[Speaking of interesting stories, do you know of ripples?]
[Yes, of course.]
[You ever wondered what’s the case with that? Have you ever wondered why other fruits like oranges and grapes have the sa nas as in our world, but a few ingredients, including ripples, have nas unique to this world……]
[Indeed, now that you ntioned it, it is strange? If there had been more nas unique to this world, it would have been understandable but……]
Aoi-chan nodded in agreent with Shigenobu-san’s words. It’s true that most of the things unique to the other world have the sa na, but even if so of them are nas that have been passed down from our world, it may be strange that most of them have the sa na as our world.
However, I rember hearing about this story a little while ago. If I’m not mistaken, they originally had a different na, but it seems that it has changed over the years to match the nas from our world so that it would be easier for those playing the role of Hero…… but there are so items such as ripples that couldn’t be changed because of so reasons……
[I don’t rember when I heard about this, but they said that they intentionally changed it to match the nas of our world to make it easier for the people playing the role of Hero to adapt themselves?]
[Ohh, you’re quite knowledgeable. That’s right, by the ti I played the role of Hero, most of the nas were those I’m familiar with, but the one guiding asked to tell them if there were any nas that were different.]
[Arehh? Then, why aren’t ripples called apples?]
[There are many theories about that. Like, it’s a na that had deep connections to conservative races in the Demon Realm and can’t be changed, or because it’s used as a symbol of a large historical company, or because it’s the na of a city…… So foodstuffs have circumstances that make it difficult for their nas to be changed, so their nas remain as they were.]
For so reason, soone with an important position was quite particular about the na ripple and didn’t want it to be changed or sothing like that. However, in my personal opinion, I think it would be better if there were so foodstuffs with other world-like nas.
In fact, I’m now so comfortable with the na “ripple” that I may feel uncomfortable hearing soone refer to them as “apple”.
[When you think about it that way, I guess people here are being considerate of the people with the role of Hero in various ways.]
[Yeah, each country produces a certain amount of rice, and with this area being one of the few areas oriented to producing rice in Hydra Kingdom, this place receives subsidies from the governnt.]
Shigenobu-san nodded at the words Aoi-chan earnestly said. Certainly, the fact that they would take care of various situations so that people that take the role of Hero, or rather, the otherworlders can easily spend their ti here, so this world feels comfortable to us.
While this place does feel like another world, there are few cases where common sense is too different to follow, and I think the balance is really wonderful.
Thereupon, I suddenly rembered sothing and decided to ask Shigenobu-san about it.
[Co to think of it, you ntioned how you beca a farr, does that an you’re growing rice?]
[Ahh, no, I’m not cultivating rice. I don’t have much knowledge about farming, so what I’m doing is more like an extension of my hobby. I don’t make a living with it.]
[We have so savings from the past, and since it’s just us two, it doesn’t cost much.]
Shigenobu-san smiled wryly as he said this, to which Hannah-san agreed with a smile.
I thought he beca a rice farr because of his experience as an otherworlder, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
But well, now that he ntioned it, it’s not like being Japanese could an I can grow rice in another world…… Nope, that’s not possible. I only have enough knowledge to make rice paddies, and the chances of earning enough for to make a living out of it are low.
[I have a rather large garden, and what I grow are vegetables. When I grew radishes, carrots…… and burdocks though, she gave a strange look.]
[……No, I an, when I saw those for the first ti, I thought those were tree roots.]
[Well, burdock is…… It certainly is considered a tree root in so foreign countries even in the world we live in.]
Japanese people really eat just about anything, so there are tis when they eat things that foreigners found surprising. If I were to compare it among my acquaintances, Raz-san also grows vegetables, but the scale of Raz-san’s field is just different. The vastness of her field is on another level, and it seems that even the large number of families living in Kuro’s castle can’t consu it all, thus her vegetables were being distributed here and there.
Raz-san likes to grow vegetables so much that she ends up producing too many…… I recently learned that Raz’s vegetables are being distributed within a brand known to those in the know as “Fairy Vegetables”. However, it’s valuable because they’re basically only wholesaled to acquaintances.
[While we’re on the subject, why don’t we take a look at the farm?]
[Is that alright? By all ans then.]
Shigenobu-san agreed to show us the fields, and the three of us followed Shigenobu-san and Hannah-san as they stood up and moved to the back of the house.
Serious-senpai : [Heartwarming is good…… The wounds inflicted by the sugar break are being healed.]
? ? ? : [……So you’ve finally co to think that it’s okay to be heartwarming instead of being serious huh, self-proclaid incarnation of seriousness……]
