"It's strange, though—why do these people look so healthy? Usually, only in resource-rich safe zones do you see regular people looking this well."
"Exactly. And I heard a lot of them talking about so 'Mr. Kim' with a lot of respect in their voices. How co we've never heard of any powerful ability user called 'Mr. Kim' here?"
Hearing this, the rest of the Draco Virtus Squad listened carefully, noticing the sa thing.
It seed that the positive ntal state of these people was sohow connected to this "Mr. Kin."
Curiosity sparked among them. Exchanging glances, each mber saw the intrigue mirrored in the others' eyes.
Feigning the need for directions, they approached a group of ordinary people.
Before they even got close, the team's mber with Sharp Eyes ability suddenly cried out in surprise: "What is that? How are there such fresh oranges here?!"
...
Since discovering the orchard in that forest, Kim Haru's focus had naturally shifted a bit.
The fields on the farm were growing steadily, and two of the three animals on the farm had excellent self-managent skills, needing no attention from him. Little Snort, who hadn't yet developed the sa self-sufficiency, was being supervised by Little Oakie. The new lotus in the pond was also thriving—after Kim Haru had tossed it in with so fertilizer a few days ago, it had already sprouted twenty or thirty leaves.
The farm didn't need him constantly; the orchard, however, demanded much more attention.
Over the past few days, Kim Haru had finally mapped out the area of the orange grove and grew increasingly satisfied with it. A full hundred orange trees stood tall, each one laden with plump, ripe oranges. In the center of the grove, there was an ancient orange tree that looked massive and majestic, just based on its appearance he could tell it had lived for a long ti.
Kim Haru also could tell that this entire grove had likely grown and spread from this single, old orange tree over ti.
He planned to take special care of this old tree, watering and fertilizing it as a token of gratitude for the generous grove it had provided him.
Next to the orange grove, there were a few chestnut trees—not many, it's 8 in total—and only a single short lemon tree.
But Kim Haru wasn't bothered by the limited variety. After all, he hadn't had to plant these trees himself; having them here was more than enough.
After surveying the orchard's boundaries, Kim Haru decided to start building a fence around it.
For a grove this large, the wooden fences he'd previously crafted wouldn't be sufficient. He used up all the wood stacked beside his cabin, and then grabbed his axe to cut more from the mutated iron trees. After two days of labor, he finally managed to enclose the entire orchard with a sturdy fence.
The mont the last section of the fence was complete, his farm system let out a series of cheerful chis.
