It had been two weeks since I had arrived in Agartha. Serloitte exhaled slowly as she looked at the fields spread out before her.
The days had been fast-paced. Imdiately after the audience with the King of Agartha, he was taken to the University of Agartha. The university was not a campus in the city, but a farm outside the city.
It was a vast place stretching far beyond the horizon, and although Serloito had heard rumors about it, he had no idea that it was of such a scale.
There were various kinds of crops being grown there. So of them were new to Cerulloit. She looked at the crops in the field, her heart pounding for the first ti in a long ti.
Saint irias, who saw her, suggested her to visit the fields for a while starting tomorrow. She explained that there is a lodging facility in this field where researchers can stay. She suggested that I stay there and observe the field and find out what crops Serloitte would like to grow. Serloitte had no choice but to refuse.
The next day, after moving his luggage from the guest house to his accommodation, Serloitte imdiately walked around the fields of the University of Agartha. The crops growing there aroused Serloitte's curiosity. Therefore, day after day she went out to the fields to walk around. On this day, Saint irias took ti out of her busy work schedule to show Serloit around. She was grateful for his kindness, and her eyes were drawn to the crops in the field.
"Are these ...... seeing berries?
Serloitte suddenly shouted. It was no wonder, for there were the "phantom fruits" that she had read about all over the field. Bright red, seemingly tomato-like fruits were clustered in rows in a forest of rows.
"You know very well, don't you?
I thought I heard a voice from the field. A tall, slender man, tanned black, ca out of the field. He had an indescribable charm in his eyes and a deep intelligence.
"My na is Yannoli, I am a researcher at the University of Agalta.
The words do not co out properly because he suddenly spoke to . Yannoli smiles gently at her.
"Mr. Yannoli is continuing his research here at Agarta University and teaching agriculture to his students. She teaches them very well, and they trust her very much.
May introduces them. Yannoli waved her hand in front of her face in a gesture of gratitude.
"Such ....... You're buying too much into this, Mr. i."
"It's true. But more importantly, how is the situation in Sheing?"
Yannoli's face clouds over at the sound of May's voice.
"We managed to get to the point of producing fruit like this. ....... But when it cos to the taste, it's very, very ....... The original sheung berries are sweet, but the berries here have almost no sweetness at all.
With these words, he took a random seedling, scrubbed it with his clothes, and held it out in front of them. May took it without hesitation and put it in her mouth. Serloitte followed her example and picked up a sheung nut.
"...... indeed. It has a subtle sweetness, but it is not the 'overflowing sweetness' that is described in the books.
"That's right. I've tried all kinds of different ways, but still, the sweetness is the only thing I can't get ......."
At that mont, Serloitte spoke out of the blue.
"Oh, ...... if it's sweetness, then, hey, I think it would be ...... good if you adjust the amount of water."
"Is it water ......? We are giving them enough water, and if we give them any more, the sound could rot. ......"
"No, it's the other way around."
What do you an?
"Mihi, don't ...... give the water until the ...... last minute."
"......"
"If you grow it ...... in a dry, sunny place, it will be ...... sweeter ......."
Serloitte carefully described her experience of growing crops in her garden. Jannoly listened attentively with a nod of his head, and then he seed to have gained an insight into what was going on.
"I see. It's true that so crops grown in deserts or other lean lands have a sweet taste to them. I see. ....... So far, I've been asking Elkarina to adjust the humidity and other details, but I guess that was rather a bad idea. ......"
"Elkarina?"
For so reason, I couldn't help but say it out loud. Serloitte covered her mouth with her hand in confusion. May gave him a gentle smile.
"This farm is supported by the people of Scillyus," she said. Elkarina-san has a contract with the spirits of the forest, so she is very good at controlling the humidity and so on.
"Silus: ...... forest spirits: ......"
"The farm is assisted by the Siljus, who are under contract with the spirits of the forest and the air. We also have a gno who is a spirit of the soil helping us.
"Yes. The crops grow well on this farm because I watch over them.
Suddenly, I heard the old man's voice. I looked down at my feet and saw a small old man with his chest out and his eyes fixed on Serloitte.
"The soil here has always been good," he said. The Siljus and the others have managed the humidity and temperature for each crop, which makes it very easy to grow. By the way, where is ...... Elkarina?"
"I'm in the fields in Kwaraka."
Yannoli answers with a smile. Apparently, the two have known each other for quite so ti.
"What a bore! I thought I was going to see Elkarina's nice shaped tits. ....... Well, it's all right now that I've t i."
"Mr. Norm."
ilius has a look of dismay on his face. Growing up in an aristocratic society, the Serloites had been taught that it was very unbecoming to talk openly about the female body. Therefore, he did not know how to react to this little old man's unmannerly attitude, and his eyes turned white.
"Master i~. i-sama~!"
Suddenly, a man's loud voice rang out. Startled, I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man on a horse waving at . A carriage was waiting next to the man.
The man got off his horse and ran toward us. He stood in awe in front of irias, catching his breath.
"It is this way after all. A ssage from Mr. Linos. He asked to bring Mr. Serloitte to the guest house imdiately.
"Bring Mr. Serloitte?"
Yes. Mr. Serloitte is here with a guest.
"You want to ......?"
Serloitte looks at ilias with an anxious expression on her face. Only a few people in the Grand Duchy of Foal know that he has co to this country. And yet, here he is, a guest of his own. ....... For a mont, I thought it might be Lord Mataka, but there was no way he would co to Agartha. Even if he did, I don't think he would let see him. Then, who in the world would .......
May continues to look at her kindly. She nodded slowly and looked at the man who was waiting for her.
"Okay. Then I will go to the guest house with Mr. Serloitte now. Please tell the master that.
"Yes, sir. I have a carriage over there. Please get in the carriage. Then I will tell Mr. Linos what Ms. i said.
With these words, he started running again, mounted his horse and rode off. After seeing him off, May nodded toward Serloitte and urged him to go to the carriage.
"Mr. Serloitte!"
Suddenly, I was called by na. It was Yannoli. He took Serloitte's hand and squeezed it gently with both hands.
"Thank you very much. Thanks to you, my research is going to take a step forward. Thank you very much.
His hand was very warm as he held Serloitte's thin hand.
