Chapter 110. Harvesting and selective breeding
Nothing to point out this ti, enjoy the chapter
「By the way, where did you go to have dinner yesterday?」(Hind)
「Hmm? Sushi not served in conveyor belts! They were tasty!」(Yumir)
While harvesting the crops after logging into TB, I chatted with Yumir about what happened yesterday.
In my hand was a small sickle, I tossed what I harvested into my inventory one after another.
I had just finished talking about our exploration of the pyramid with Albert and Philia, then shifted the conversation to what Miyu went to eat yesterday.
However, a high grade sushi store huh…I’m so jealous.
「Ah, fish is also nice. We ate hamburgers.」(Hind)
「Hamburgers!? At ho!?」(Yumir)
「Yeah. Made the buns with fernted dough and toasted them, I also tried making homade hamburgers from scratch. Since mom and Rise looked happy, I think they ca out well. I think for next ti, I might prepare pickles.」(Hind)
「…gulp.」(Yumir)
Yumir made a sound with her throat and her hands stopped moving.
That would have been fine by itself, but she was approaching while begging with her eyes.
So close, her face is so close.
「I get it, I got it! Next ti I’ll make a portion for you too.」(Hind)
「You are not lying right!?」(Yumir)
「More importantly, look, don’t stop moving your hands. Today it’s only both of us here, if we just talk, we’ll never finish.」(Hind)
「Umu! Though even if you say that, as you can see, about half of them have withered!」(Yumir)
「Don’t say it, it’ll make sad…」(Hind)
Even with the improved soil, half of the dicinal herbs we had planted had withered.
I think the biggest reason is that it’s too hot over here for them…
When it cos to the succulent plants, they have grown pretty big in just a few days without any issues.
Though I guess that’s pretty obvious considering those plants are local ones.
「But Yumir, have you noticed? We are picking the dicinal herbs along with seeds right?」(Hind)
「I can see that, is there anything wrong with them?」(Yumir)
「Along with the normal seeds, there are so weird ones mixed in there. Look at them carefully.」(Hind)
Since the inventory automatically sorts things, it should be easy to see.
Hearing my words, Yumir opened her window nu and operated it.
「Re…sistance…?」(Yumir)
「They have resistance to heat level 1. In other words, these dicinal herbs…」(Hind)
「You an that they have adapted to the heat?」(Yumir)
「It seems like that’s the case. If we can stock up on this generation of dicinal herbs that have heat resistance, in other words-」(Hind)
「Ooh!」(Yumir)
Yumir’s face brightened up.
There’s the possibility in the future that the number of dicinal plants that wither will drastically decrease.
Plants inside the ga grow way faster than in real life, so there’s a possibility that it becos reality in the not so far future.
「Once we are done with the dicinal herbs, I want to grow so food ingredients.」(Hind)
「Potatoes, Hind! We should grow potatoes!」(Yumir)
「You, you were just reminded of the hamburgers and are thinking about..French fries?」(Hind)
「Umu! Ah, just so you know, I also plan to eat that hamburger in real life OK!? I don’t want to do it inside the ga! Even if it tastes the sa!」(Yumir)
「I know.」(Hind)
To begin with, since the cookware is different, there’s no way they would taste the sa.
The seasoning would also be different from real life.
Now that I think about it, I have never had that taste inside the ga…they don’t appear that often, monster at that is.
「Speaking of ingredients, in order to raise cattle, we should make an area with grass.」(Hind)
「Sothing like cows, pigs and…birds?」(Yumir)
「That’s right. There is far more preliminary work involved compared to a farmland, so we’ll have to do a lot of planning since it’ll be difficult.」(Hind)
「We would also need a shed among other things, even though there are gas out there that prepare everything for you…」(Yumir)
We had already bought a plot of land for that purpose, so we plan to go through the sa soil improvent thod in the future.
Like Yumir said, we also need to build a shed to raise animals in it, it’ll take so ti until we can finally start with that.
We can’t really afford to work on it currently.
We might have been able to use one that was originally in a village or sothing, but unfortunately, Waaha didn’t really have an agricultural district.
In a way, it’s as if we were forced to do farmwork in a big city, there were no small amount of inconveniences.
We stopped chatting for a little bit and for a short amount of ti, we just kept harvesting.
「…Hey, Hind. Hasn’t it been a while since we were alone for this long?」(Yumir)
「Probably. We were only alone during the ga’s launch, shortly after, Rise…I an, Riizu joined us.」(Hind)
“That midget”…muttered Yumir as her face warped once she rembered that.
However, she returned to normal instantly, faced and said.
「If you were to ask , I would be happy if we could spend alone together like this once in a while…is that no good…?」(Yumir)
She was acting quite ekly and looked at as if she wanted to know what I thought about it.
I thought for a second that I should make fun of her, but I stopped myself.
If I angered her here, she would not talk to until tomorrow morning. Though she would forget after she went to sleep.
「You sure are saying sothing unusual. It’s not like you hate it when it’s lively, right?」(Hind)
「I rather like it? I don’t an that, my ti with you is like when you say you have a different stomach for cake. You could say that it’s like so nutrient that I definitely nee-」(Yumir)
「Your comparisons sure are weird as always. You even infected my mom with it…
But well, I sort of get what you an. Let’s see…」(Hind)
I used the serious side of my brain and thought about it.
At school or at ho, it’s true that the chances for both of us to be alone were few.
「I’ll make so ti for us to be alone like this. Today might have been a coincidence but…how about I shift the tis a bit from ti to ti and we log in before everyone else?」(Hind)
「Really!? You are being serious right!? Alright, I can feel the power flowing!」(Yumir)
Yumir’s cheeks loosened as she blushed.
And with that vigor, she harvested the dicinal herbs at high speed.
I’m so anxious that she might cut her own hand…
「Ah, just so you know, by shifting the ti, I an that we’ll go in earlier. No staying up late.」(Hind)
「I know! It’s fine if I leave the student council early right!?」(Yumir)
「Like hell it is! You, is your brain ok right now!?」(Hind)
As a result, we talked and decided that we would log in early if both of our situations were suitable for it.
Once we finished harvesting, we planted the seeds by giving priority to those with heat resistance and finished our work after watering them.
After that we planted succulent plants, then we began working on the sandy soil.
We mixed so dicinal herbs in there and they strengthened the effect on the soil, they have a lot of uses.
Among the plants, there was a type that Yumir consulted about planting them and admired.
「Oh, they have blood beautifully…the Adeniums.」(Hind)
「Umu, you are right. Though I don’t like how they share the sa na as that queen.」(Yumir)
The Adenium, also called the Desert Rose, was a beautiful crimson flower.
Yumir was planning to use these in the contest but…
Looking at the expression of the person in question, I could easily see what she was going to say next.
「But, if it’s just like this, it’s boring!」(Yumir)
「I thought you would say that. So, what do you plan to do?」(Hind)
「I’ll leave it to you! Make so sort of plan!」(Yumir)
You are going to leave it to others? Yup, even if you tell to make it not boring…
Regarding plants, if you told what drew your attention to them would be: the colour, the shape, how big they are and the fragrance, etc.
「Should we try to do so selective breeding…?」(Hind)
「Oh? For example?」(Yumir)
「Even if we talk about red flowers, there are a lot of pink ones out there, so let’s aim for sothing like one that’s more bright red. Or we could do sothing like they do with roses and make an azure Adenium. I think I’ve seen a Blue Adenium sowhere.」(Hind)
「Ooh! I see!」(Yumir)
「I an, it’s a ga, the degree of difficulty should be easier than it would be in real life, so it should work? What type would you want, you have until tomorrow to think about it properly. If we hurried up, they would be done in ti for the date of the contest.」(Hind)
「Got it!」(Yumir)
After that, while being cautious of the thorns of the cactuses, we finished harvesting and planted seeds for the second ti.
With this, tonight’s activities in the agricultural area are finished.
We were able to smoothly finish the work we had planned. It didn’t take that much ti either.
With a large amount of plants in our inventory, we returned to our guild ho.
