192 Evilweed and home garden
I invited the two to the entertainment room, and with Sheila, Alfred, and the residents of the labyrinth village, they won all the games in the entertainment room.
Isabella and Dorothy quickly became acquainted with the residents of Labyrinth Village. The reason he's so friendly is probably because there are a lot of people around the thieves guild and brothels who have a good reason.
“Are you playing at that theater?”
“Only on full moon days.”
Speaking of Dorothy, she was having a great time talking about songs and musical instruments with Sheila, Irmhild, and the others. Looks like a lot of fun. Isabella, who was looking at Dorothy and Sheila as if they were smiling, turned to me.
"Now that I think about it...the ambassador has set up a store in Higashi Ward, right? Are you planning to sell these there?"
"Yes. That's the plan."
"In that case...I would like to order it too. Is that okay? No, I personally like it, but..."
According to Isabella...it seems like it would be good if the brothel had easy games like cards and darts.
"I'm grateful for that. The store has only just started."
Is it about developing a market? There is no way we would say no.
Isabella herself was also passionate about darts. Sheila also has good control, but Isabella seems to have gotten the hang of it quickly. As a thieves guild executive, this kind of thing must be his specialty.
"I don't know about this drink, but I feel like there might be some follow-up to these playthings. Shouldn't we keep an eye on people who handle inferior products?"
That's what Isabella said. Is it something like a crackdown on pirated copies?
"No, that's all. It seems that the craftsmen at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Guild keep their information strictly confidential, so if they were to make one, they'd have to imitate it by watching and learning, right? Unless it's too malicious, it's fine. I don't think it's good at all."
We have the know-how in advance, and we are getting cooperation from proper craftsmen through the Chamber of Commerce Guild. If the quality is different, that's where the added value of the logo mark will come out. I have no intention of leaving behind anyone else.
"Then, if we think it's malicious, we'll let you know."
"Understood"
I smile bitterly. That's completely reasonable.
“How about the harvester?”
night--. Ashley asked me while I was experimenting and observing the Evilweed harvester at a low table in the Japanese-style room with Marlene and Seraphina, who were watching closely with their hands on the edge of the desk.
"Hmm. It's quite interesting."
“The harvester is amazing.”
I've been bringing the various types of insects I've caught in the insect cage closer to the harvester to see what's going on...
Creatures like earthworms that improve the soil are left alone, but insects that eat away at leaves are like carnivorous plants, which actively try to eat them or try to drive them away with their leaves.
What's interesting is that if it's an insect that helps with pollination, like a bee, or a beneficial insect that preys on pests, the harvester might ignore it.
Well, it's like this. I let the insects I caught escape through the window, and the experiment is over for now.
"It doesn't seem like he's just a picky eater."
"Yeah. I think they're very good at determining whether an insect is beneficial to them or not. For example, this insect is a species that eats other insects, so it's neutral to the harvester, but it's not an enemy."
“Harvesters seem to be pretty smart.”
“What about the potted plants outside?”
Grace asked, nodding at Claudia's words, and Ashley answered.
"Those things...the growth speed is completely different when they're together with Evilweed."
Hmm... I can't help but think this is worth a field test.
“It would be a good idea to try growing it together with some other crops.”
"I see. Theodore is thinking about using it for farming."
I nod at Claudia's words.
"That's a long way off. For now, we need to keep it a little smaller and make sure it's safe."
“There are seeds and seedlings of various crops in the labyrinth village.”
"It's just right. If you can share it with me, I'll make a field next to the storage room."
“If it becomes a bigger scale, I think we can cooperate in the Barony of Shirun.”
"Hmm. That helps."
“I would be happy if the yield of the territory increased.”
Saying that, Ashley smiled.
Ashley's territory is a granary. Considering that Ashley and I are fiances, if a farming method using evilweed is established, we'll probably be the first to introduce it.
The scale of this test is similar to a home garden, but I would like to conduct it on a slightly larger scale in the future. To do this, it is necessary to check the taste and properties of the crops grown together with Evilweed.
So, the next day. It was decided that a field would be created next to the shed.
Even when it comes to crops, there is a time to plant them, but when it comes to farming, the residents of the labyrinth village have a certain length of day, so they can listen to advice as much as they like.
“At this time of year...umm, how about planting pumpkins?”
"Yes. There are some seedlings left over."
Claire from Alkeny and Cyril from Centaur looked at each other and answered like that. So I decided on pumpkin. If you plant it now, you'll be able to harvest it in the fall.
Agricultural work. I get the impression that it's quite difficult to create a field from scratch, but in my case, I can use a golem to remove stones from the field and till the soil. That's why I have the golems split up and work quickly. Seraphina looked like she was having fun sitting on the head of the golem she was working on.
Move the flowers grown by Evil Weed into the fence and arrange the appearance of the flower bed.
On the other hand, for the field, I made round ridges, moved the evil weeds between them, and then planted the seedlings and it was basically complete. I thought about sowing lime based on my knowledge, but since I wanted to see the effect of evilweed, I thought it would be a good idea to create a field without it and a field with it this time and try it out.
Since the seedlings had been prepared, it was decided that everyone would plant them by hand. I'm not saying this because I'm enjoying my life as a golem, but there's something about the real pleasure of gardening.
“I like this kind of thing.”
Claudia is happily planting seedlings. It kind of gives the impression that he's used to it, but maybe he's used to doing this kind of work in the labyrinth village.
“Is Claudia still in the labyrinth village?”
"Yeah. I can't do any heavy lifting, so I can't really help you."
“I would like the princess to be more elegant than that.”
"Hey"
Claire and Cyril smiled and nodded at each other, and Claudia gave a small smile.
The farm work proceeded peacefully from beginning to end, with Lavine digging holes with her paws, Marlene planting seedlings there, and Seraphina covering them with soil. It was a very heartwarming scene, and the women's faces were all smiles.
``I've given the seedlings plenty of water, so all I have to do is keep an eye on them and prepare them.Once the pumpkins bloom, they need to be pollinated.''
Claire will explain various things to you. It appears that processes such as branch arrangement and artificial pollination remain.
Hmm. Aside from pruning, can Evilweed also perform artificial pollination?
Although I think I might be expecting too much, there is also a part of me that thinks it might be possible. They seem to be cultivating the surrounding plants.
"Thank you very much."
Evilweed and the others were being patted on the head by Ashley. Those who sit between the ridges are obedient and do as they are told.
Hmm. In short, it would be good if we could confirm the scene. If you don't miss the timing of flowering, you might be able to observe the evilweed's reaction.
Well, I'm a little concerned about the growth situation in the vegetable garden, so I'll be keeping an eye on it frequently.
