CHAPTER 76 AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION

Welcome to my land, Lartar

In the lords mansion in the place called Lartar.

The one who welcomed me who entered the mansion was Ruby who is wearing a princesss dress.

How can I say thisits a last boss-ish dress as usual, and its slightly different from the last time.

It was normal last boss last time, and this time its like its powered up to the second stage after being defeated.

Is she going to take the throne with her appearance and sit on it someday or something.

Its been a while

Thank you for visiting from so far awayforgive me for calling you so suddenly

Ruby said with a serious face.

Thats right, just earlier, a person who claimed to be her messenger came to my mansion in the royal capital La Linea.

Shes calling me, so I went here as soon as possible.

Dont mind it, it isnt that much of a distance

Its a distance that would take a whole day for a fast horse though

Its only an instant if you fly. Rather than that, the reason you called me is?

Umu, lets talk while looking at it in person, that would be easier

Ruby turned around and started walking.

Pitan!

She stepped on her dress, and greatly fell down to the floor face first.

She raised her head quickly, and glared at me with teary eyes.

I looked away blatantly, and whistled.

Ruby stood up, cleared her throat, and assumed a composed look.

that would be easier to explain

I got it

While secretly making her not step on her hem using magic, I left the mansion following her.

This Lartar is our kingdoms important land for grain producing, but these recent years, the yield quantity has decreased a lot

Decreased, why

I do not know the reason. When new crops are planted, more than half would die and would not grow

He

I ride a carriage with Ruby, and looked around the farm for inspection.

As she has said, most of the crops hardly settled down, so the field was quite empty, and its like there is spot baldness here and there. (TL: alopecia areata )

It also seems like there are no particular laws

Looking at the field, I said my opinion.

The places where the ones they planted are not growing up or has tilted is random, and there seems no regularity

Umu. The cause is completely unknown so we are troubled

The fruit tree there is normal huh

I pointed, and asked Ruby.

Theres an orchard where fruits were growing from afar, and it seems quite normal.

The crops that have finished establishing would grow without problems. Is it not strange

Making them take root is the hard part huh. If then, shouldnt you just make it up using numbers?

It is unknown if it would grow, and there are also cases when it would tilt after somewhat growing. It is exactly as you said, we only need to make it up with numbers, but there is no difference that half of the land are being wasted

I see, well, I guess so

I nodded, and looked at Ruby.

And so, you want me to do something about it then

Umu. It is His Majestys favorite Senjukou. I thought that

if it is you, you might be able to do something about it

You overestimate me. Well, I already found a solution though

Is that true!

Rubys eyes sparkled.

I came to the orchards place.

I stood in front of the healthiest tree within there, and said to Ruby.

What is the main crops that were grown here originally?

Its this. Its called Arrose

Ruby reached out a seed casually.

That is something that I ate almost everyday, its like rice.

I see, its this huh

Its planted during the spring, and harvested in autumn. It takes a long time until it grows, the grace period until it tilts due to the abnormality is very long too so we are troubled by it

Its really like rice huh

What are you going to do with that?

Just lookSynthesis

I chanted the magic.

The light enveloped the seed and the tree, and the two fused.

After the light settles down, the thing that appeared was a tree that was a level smaller.

A tree that is comparatively small, just as tall as an adult man; there were many fruits in that tree.

This isArrose huh

Thats right

An Arrose tree, you say?

Probably, it only needs to be planted once, and harvesting several times within a year is possible. The problems solved with this right?

*Pokan*, Ruby dropped her jaws.

What is it

What is it or whatever

She looked at me with an unbelievable expression.

Not mentioning the problem being solved, this is an evolutionary thing

Is that so?

That might be true, though.

Either way, theres no difference that the problem was solved right?

U-Umu. Thats exactly right. Its exactly as you said

Ruby regained herself, stared at me straight, and said.

I thank you, Senjukou

Ruby was very very thankfulwell, thats good, but.

This Arrose tree, and later on, with Kings final word.

The name of this variety is Lucio

And just like that, it was named like Sasanishiki. (TL: Japanese rice created as mixture of Sasashigure and Hatsunishiki)
