Artificial Spirit and Mysterious Seed X (9)

The soil is stirred up by rampaging vines.

Handy grass, when it withers, will become a good fertilizer.

「---wither and sleep.」

With a snap of a finger, the handy grass stops moving.

The handy grass stopped moving, decayed, and scattered on the soil, which had become soft.

「Great, it will make a good fertilizer.」

The field I made was about 25 meters square.

It was not a big field but it was big enough for one person to live happily.

I sowed some apple seeds as a test.

This field is not a one-time use but something that I will constantly take care of so I left an adequate space between the trees.

The seeds I just sowed are red, small, and slightly sour apple seeds that can be seen around the imperial capital but I plan on improving them from now on.

It has been a long time since I have had apples with plenty of honey in them and I want to eat one again.

「Quick growth」

I used “life growth” magic and turned a part of the field into a small apple field.

I took a piece of apple and bit into it.

The juice gushed out of the fruit.

「S-sour!」

Still, it moistened my day-long, dry throat.

I have to think about how to secure water.

I came here full of enthusiasm for pioneering a wasteland and living a slow life. And that’s still what I want to happen.

Water problem is not something I can put off.

I would like to try to procure water for my farm work on my own. However, I must secure water for my own use as soon as possible.

「….since I’ve come this far, let’s do it again.」

I buried a seed that I had separated from other seeds in my bag, near my hut. In case you were wondering, this is also a type of handy grass.

「Now, let’s see if it will work.」

I immediately raised it using “life growth”.

Its roots grew deep into the ground and pumped up the groundwater it had found.

「Alright, the rest will be like this….like…….」

Focus, focus!

The handy grass, which specializes in pumping up water, is a shrub that grows above up to the point it reaches my solar plexus.

I concentrate on the branches of the shrub and used “life growth” and “life wither” repeatedly.

Twist, twist, connect the tubes---make a faucet.

「Great!」

At first glance, it looks like a perfectly formed water faucet.

It should have found a water vein deep in the ground.
