While savoring the taste of steamed turnips, Riito decided to just enjoy the meal in front of him.

Farm work is busiest from morning until late afternoon.

Following the examples of the flowerkins who were taking a nap and sunbathing (probably photosynthesizing) after lunch, Riito went back to his room and lay down on his bed.

Frau was taking a nap with her friends, lying down by the field.

The flowerkins all have fantasy hair colors of pink or green and even have plants growing from some parts of their bodies.

Looking at their group nap from a distance, they look like a newly formed beautiful flower garden.

Among them, Frau is one of the most beautiful in terms of her hair color and flowers on her head.

Looking out the window while staring at the flowerkins, Riito yawned.

「Hey, Navi! Wake me up in an hour.」

「Alarm set, one hour…..Question. Master, why are you only using me on things like this?」

「No, it’s more of a habit. Or rather, it calms me down….」

He was from the smartphone generation.

Resting on his bed, Riito suddenly noticed something.

「Ah!」

He instinctively jumped up.

「Look, Navi!」

「What’s wrong, master?」

「It’s sprouting!」

A potted plant. It is placed in a sunny spot by his bedside.

The mysterious seed X he unearthed from the court mage’s storeroom.

Even Riito, who has devoted his life to plant magic, could not tell what kind of seed it was but a small bud appeared on the potted plant with the glowing blue seed in it.

A single leaf, peeking out of the soil.

（So, mysterious seed X was a monocotyledonous plant….）

That’s what he first thought.

He took a look closer.

A faint blue glow emanates from the sprouting green leaf.

No, looking at it closely, it shines beautifully from blue to purple, from red to orange….it’s shining while gradually changing light.

Then, he gently touches the sprout.

It was his reward for taking care of it every day.

His fingertips touched the leaf.

「C-c-cute…..」

That’s how he feels.

Riito writhed after.
