Chapter 502: A soccer field?

Having decided to build a sports field, I walked around the Sanctuary to both take a walk as well as to find a potential site.

I dont remember how big a soccer field is. I can get a sense of how big a baseball field should be though.

Yes, Im Japanese so I had been playing baseball since I was a kid, but Ive only had soccer in class. And I also used to watch the J League on tv. I dont know the exact size of a soccer field.

After much thought, I realized there wasnt a point in doing that.

Even in bowling, the length of the lane, the size of the pin and balls were all vague.

Is this place okay?

Indeed. Its a distance not too far from the residential district, its perfect.

Okay, Ill imagine the scale as much as possible then.

I casted Earth Attribute Magic to flatten the ground to the size of a soccer field.

Around this size?

Its alright if I grow the turf here, right?~

Ill leave it to you, Dryas.

Leave it to Onee-chan~

A soccer field needs a turf, doesnt it? So, I asked Dryas for a favor.

The soccer field was immediately covered with turf grass before I could even say ah.

Its a bit long so it has to be mowed. Well, thats fine as long as we use a lawnmower.

I gave my thanks to Dryas, then took out a cask of wine from the Item Box and gave it to her.

Well then, if you need anything else, you can tell Onee-chan.~

Yup, thanks Dryas.

Dryas flicked her hand, and the barrel of wine floated with her as she left.

Ohh! This looks cool.

You wanna go for a test run right now?

Laeva wants to watch.

Ill stow it away then.

I placed the lawnmower into the Item Box, and together with Sophia and Laeva, we went to the soccer field.

I brought out the lawnmower once we had arrived at the soccer field, then I filled it up with magic power using a magic stone and sat on the drivers seat.

Lowering the rotor blades, Im starting it up.

I moved the spinning blades down to grass level, grasped the steering wheel and placed it into forward gear, stepped on the accelerator, and the lawnmower started to move slowly.

Ohh! The turf has been sheared cleanly! How fascinating! Laeva wants to have a ride as well!

Okay, okay. Hold up.

Rushed by an excited Laeva, she took over driving the lawnmower.

Yahoooooo!

Shes way too excited.

Laeva drove it until she was satisfied, Sophia sheepishly asked if she could have a turn, so I let her operate it, then I used Wind Magic to control the wind and gather the cut grass.

Now that the grass around the field was tidied up, I drew up the lines using a dye.

Once I place the goal here, its done.

So then, what do we do with this?

Ah, I havent made the ball yet. Lets return to the workshop.

Weve completed the soccer field, but not the ball. I suppose it would be best to make a lot of them.
