「Magic is basically “borrowing” the power of nature…..we were able to revive the soil here because of the flowerkins.」

「….that’s why it’s difficult nyaa?」

「That’s actually the simple part. The difficult part is to grow crops that need a lot of water.」

「Muuunnn….but you have trees that produce water.」

「Ah, it’s a handy grass. It’s just pumping water out from deep underground.」

「Isn’t that enough nyaa?」

「It’s just fossil water. There’s not much water here to begin with.」

「Funyaa….that sucks nyaa.」

Mama says so and yawns.

Frau leans forward with interest.

「What are those, Mama-san?」

「I’ve been looking for old documents nyaa～….they’re kind of sleep inducing though nyaa.」

Mama pulls out a stack of papers from her backpack.

There are two bundles and one of them seems to be a document about the region where Togen Village is located.

「I read that once upon a time, this area was called “Beautiful Blue Fertile Land” desu nyaa～」

「…..I can’t imagine that at all.」

The mountains in the east only have a few trees because of the dry land.

There is a forest in the distance but the area near Togen Village is dry and parched.

It was like a miserable arid land.

「Does this mean that something happened here?」

Togen Village happened to be purchased from the Land Management Bureau.

It’s not strange to be attached to the land after living and cultivating on it for a while.

Perhaps there is a way to revive the water source….Maa, the current situation where we don’t even know if there was a water source. Let’s not think about it for a moment.

Mama presented another bundle of paper to Riito.

「…..this one is about the “strange blue seed that glows” nyaa. I didn’t find much about it but I’ve compiled all the information I could find on the general bookshelf of the Archives Guild desu nyaa.」

「Oh! Thank you, Mama.」

「…..can you read ancient writings?」

「Kind of」

「Leave it to me, master.」

Navi smiles.
