Chapter 409 – Get Food (3)

“Hmm, that should be enough.”
“It’s good because the story is fast.”
“Isn’t it a situation where each other is in a hurry? You solve the food shortage, and I read that novel.”

Said Afrene, standing up from her nest.

“Don’t hurry, because even now, someone must be suffering from hunger.”

He said he had a tough personality, but he was more cool than I thought.
Am I nervous for nothing?
I was worried that the negotiations would drag on, but the negotiations were easily concluded.

Or is it that the value of this novel is so high?

A book that can never be obtained in this world and can only be obtained by me.
Rarity would have increased its value.

“Then let’s start right away.”

Pascana opened the warp gate.

∴

The area I rule is mostly grasslands.

A huge river runs through the center of the district, and we have formed a breadbasket around that river.

Because the river is right next to it, it is easy to water, and it is such a fertile and fertile land.

It was quite disappointing to grow potatoes that grow well in such a barren environment on such land, but we had to grow potatoes that could harvest a large amount in a short time with little knowledge about farming.

‘After harvesting this time, I’ll have to change something else.’

It is necessary to form a proper dietary culture with crops such as wheat, rice, and corn.
To receive balanced nutrients and improve quality of life.

“Is this the granary?”
“Yeah, the long stretch around this river is the largest, and there are other places as well.”
“Hmm… , It seems that the population is quite large, probably because it was ruled by Kreine-sama. I heard you went through a war for 50 years.”

From the sky, looking down, Afrene said.

“This will give you a lot. A lot of people died during the war.”

It was a pity, but what can I do?
We should focus on restoring the damages of the war at a time of regret.

“Wait a minute.”

When Afrene spreads her two wings wide, the mana of the area fluctuates.
The mana that flowed in the air began to gather in the fields where the potatoes were planted, and soon began to glow a pale green light.

Then, the orcs who were plowing and watering the fields looked panicked at what had happened, looked around, looked up at the sky, and finally found us.

How much time had passed like that? According to the body clock, about 10 minutes.

“It’s over now.”
“Already?”
“Okay, all the crops around here have grown, so why don’t you go down and check it out for a bit?”
“Okay.”

A dragon located on a far higher level than Griel.
A chance to get a glimpse of the dragon’s power.

I went down to the ground with half expectations and half worries.

“Siwoo-sama, did you borrow Afrene-sama’s power?!”
“Yes, it is the way to go and come back to solve the food shortage.”

I looked around.
There was lush grass all over the field where the potatoes were planted.

“Hmm.”

Potatoes were uprooted using telekinesis.
Potatoes hanging in clusters.

Afrene’s power was perfect.

“Go, the potatoes are all grown… !”
“Oh, oh oh… !”

The Orcs admired the perfectly grown potatoes.

“Call the monsters and start harvesting.”
“All right!”

I gave instructions and flew again.

“How is it?”
“He grew up perfectly.”
“Then what is the price?”
“Here.”

I handed over the books to Afrene.
As if using telekinesis, the books floated into the air and flew in front of Afrene.

“Then let’s move on to the next place.”

∴

“Currently, the Orcs are harvesting.”

After receiving help from Afrene, they returned to Ogre Village.
Upon receiving the news that the potatoes had grown, the monsters went out of the city to harvest potatoes, and even the army was mobilized.

“Can this amount solve the food crisis?”
“Of course. The seeds are much thicker than ordinary potatoes, so it seems that at least this year’s winter will pass unscathed.”

I had enough food.
As if he was able to put his mind at ease with this, a relieved expression was evident on the War Wolf’s expression.

“So, is the paddock going well?”
“Yes, we are moving livestock and slowly expanding the range.”
“Okay, so that we can grow more diverse crops in the future. Are your studies going well?”
“Yes, the monsters who applied as farmers are in the process of learning various farming methods. I haven’t accumulated a lot of professional knowledge yet, but everyone is working hard, so it won’t take too long.”

It is fortunate that the monsters can understand human speech and read Korean.
It felt like the basic abilities of monsters.

“Yes, you worked hard today. Let’s just go inside. I will play with Lai and send him back.”
“Yes, I’ll see you if anything happens.”

With that last word, War Wolf went out of his office.

“Whoa…”

The fire was quickly put out.
I didn’t have to worry too much about important reports, and I just had to maintain the status quo.

So now there’s only one thing I can do.
I can help with the work.

Help build walls or harvest potatoes.
I need to do some paperwork… , What to do later.

First of all, I went out of the office and went upstairs to meet the lovers who were playing with Lai.

The largest room located on the 2nd floor.
Although it is my room, it felt similar to the living room where everyone gathers.

I opened the door to the room and entered.

“So they say that they lived happily ever after for a long time.”
“Wow, good.”

Lai was sitting on her lap, and her child was reading her children’s book to her.

The other kids were looking at Rai with a happy expression, probably because he was so cute.

“Children, I am here.”

As I spoke, the eyes of the lovers turned to me.

“Siwoo, are you here?”
“Huh.”
“It took a little longer than usual.”
“I received a report that there was a shortage of food, so it took me a while to get it settled.”
“Okay? How did you solve it?”

In response to Yuri’s question, I told her what had happened with Afrene.

“And… , Is that possible?”
“It was possible.”
“Whoops… , The power of the dragon is far beyond anything you can imagine. There is nothing to be surprised about.”

Riel, who had been raised since childhood by the gold dragon Kryne, spoke as if she was used to it, and was the only one among her lovers who was not surprised.

“I’m going to work soon, do you have someone to go with?”
“Are you going to work?”

Rai asked when I asked.

“Yes, because we have to make a better place for monsters to live.”
“Can’t we just play a little longer? It really only takes a little bit!”
“No, no. You played a lot until now.”

It was about 2 hours, so I played as much as I could.
It hurt too much to say no to asking for something cute, but it could be a bad habit.

“Then… , Can’t I go to work with you too? It’s lonely when you’re alone.”
“Hmm… , Is that so?”

The phrase “What can a child do?” Does not apply to Rai.
Even though she is now in human form, her main body is a dragon.

Hetzling is an S-class monster.
They can do a lot more for you than most orcs and ogres.

“If you promise to listen carefully to your brother instead.”
“Huh! I will.”
“Good. So what about the other kids?”

The other kids also agreed to help.

∴

Together with her lovers, she helped with the affairs of the country.

Me, Riel, Kritiana, and Rai go to the granary to help with the potato harvest.
Ayoung and Laysha, Chloe and Yuri headed to the wall to help build it.

“What can I do now?”
“Laiya, can you use telekinesis?”
“Yes, I learned from my grandfather!”

Rai nodded and answered.

“Then I’ll show you a demonstration, so follow along.”

I used my telekinesis to pull out the potatoes buried in the field.

“See the leaves around here?”
“Yes, there are many.”
“You just have to pull it out with telekinesis. You can just pile the ones you picked out over there.”
“Huh!”

Rai responded vigorously.
She spread her legs about shoulder width apart.
And her arms outstretched toward the sky.

“Come up!”

As she spoke vigorously, the potatoes began to be picked.

“Oh…”

After all, they are not a race to belittle because they are young.
After she called out once, about 500 potatoes were pulled from the field and began to pile up.

“How is it?”
“Awesome. Good job.”
“Lol… Can you do more than this?”
“Okay? Would you like to show me then?”
“Huh! This time it comes up a lot!”

Rai shouted and the potatoes started to be plucked from the field.
The potatoes, which were picked about twice as much as before, were truly phenomenal.

‘I’m not good at that level either.’

My psychokinesis level is 1 level.
The maximum weight that can be lifted is 100 kg.

“Good job, you can do this in the future.”
“Yes, I will work hard!”
“Yes, nice.”
“Lol…”

When I spoke while stroking Rai’s head, Rai smiled happily.

“Clothes… !”

Then, a sharp pain came from her head.

“What are you doing all of a sudden?”

When I turned her head to check, Hyewon, the source of gluttony sitting on my right shoulder, was holding my hair in one hand.

“Cancer…”

She opened her mouth wide and ate my hair.

“I will help you too.”

After transforming into myself, I started picking potatoes in the potato field.
