We have a level system in place for mankind.

scene: paddy fields in the 40th Beastman District

After we were able to use [Shadow Blade], we searched for land in the Little Ghost District where we could return to the paddy fields. But unfortunately, I couldn't find it.

Land that can be returned to paddy fields is land that is untidy with water supply and drainage. There are quite a few abandoned paddies in Japan.

We were looking for paddies in Little Ghost District where US farmers were getting older and stopped making rice. Nevertheless, there were just a few lands that met the conditions in residential areas.

But when I went with Elena to the Beast Zone to try [Shadow Blade] in action, I found the perfect land. A famous electric manufacturer bought it to make paddy land a company home, but the company underperformed, frustrating plans to build a company home, and the land was left intact.

"If only this land were in the ghost district."

When I squealed like a fool, Elena told me it seemed easy.

"Why don't you knock down the guardians of the Beast Zone and get a way to make an oak talisman"

Elena's trust in me seems very high.

"... let's go for it"

"Cozillo will be fine."

For some reason, the honorable name has been omitted. That would be proof that we've gotten so close. As far as I'm concerned, I was a little happy.

"Right. Two hectares of paddy."

The land found in the Beastman District was two hectares in size and was likely to be relatively easy to return to the paddy fields. It is a rare land to give up.

The average yield of rice is five or six tonnes for one hectare. Of course, the harvest will fall extraordinarily because it will be cultivated on farmland that we have just returned to paddy land.

Still, more than fifty people thought there was just enough harvest to eat for a year. However, the amount of rice a single human eats per year varies from time to time. At the time of Showa, it was over 100 kilometres, but by the end of 2000 it had dropped to 60 kilometres.

However, the world has changed, so the consumption of rice is likely to increase. Because rice can be stored for a long period of time in the state of "Momomi", and cultivation in the same place will not cause continuous failure, so it is thought that there will be more cultivation.

In addition to the rice cultivated in paddy fields, there is also rice called land rice "okabo" grown in the fields. However, in the case of land rice, a continuous failure occurs, so the yield is inferior to that of rice because it will be rotated.

However, I hear that land rice is high in rice cakes, so it may be good to grow it for mochi. - The knowledge so far is that heard from Yoshino, the farmer.

I seriously thought I'd consider defeating the guardian of the Beast Zone.

"You need to get used to new weapons in order to defeat the guardians of the Beast District. And we need Elena and Kawai to level up."

"Need Mr. Kawai too?

Elena's rating for Kawai, which has a bit of a thin spot, was low.

"I don't think a team of two is balanced. I think we should put the other two on the team."

Always working on a team-by-team basis, I didn't think. Gathered together when we had a difficult purpose, and after we had achieved our purpose, we were thinking of a flexible team that would disband and carry out each activity.

We thought we'd go back. We ran into a high oak that took a bunch of oaks. I wanted to make sure I was comfortable using the [Shadow Blade], which was my first purpose.

"Elena, cover me with a bow. I'll finish the high oak."

"You just have to keep the oak away from Cozillow."

Elena took the burst arrow from the arrow barrel and the bow had a number.

Firstly, about six orcs came under attack. I set up a Shadow Blade Servel to activate [Shadow Blade] skills. A pitch-black cylinder stretched about a meter from the shadow blade sabel.

The leading oak shook the cow knife down. The attack is carried out and the shadow blade of the shadow blade sabel is used to wipe out the torso of the oak. The shadow blade that came into contact with the belly of the oak changed like a thin, sharp razor blade, slashing and tearing apart the flesh of a different beast.

I hardly responded. Yet the oak disappears in two pieces. It is an awesome cut.

A burst arrow hit and exploded in an oak that was just a short distance from me. I broke out of a bunch of orcs and approached a high oak.

There's an explosion behind you. Elena seems to be active.

High oak protruded the willow leaf knife towards me. I played the willow leaf knife with a shadow blade. Unlike when I came into contact with the flesh of the oak, the shadow blade did not change.

Seems free to slash and tear or bounce back what I came into contact with. You can also cut off enemy weapons, which can be dangerous.

Because they may attack us with shorter weapons. So it is decided that the enemy's flesh will be slashed and torn, and the weapon will play.

By the way, mental power seems to be consumed when killing and tearing down enemies. The spinning stick is physically tiring, but the shadow blade sabel was a mentally tiring weapon.

The high oak, which was hit with a weapon, was out of balance. I didn't miss that gap and let the shadow blade slide into the neck of the high oak. Its neck falls off in a potpourri.

When I looked behind me, the orcs had vanished. Looks like Elena's bow put her up to it.

"You're done. Let's pick up the heart stone and go home."

"Yes."

I went back to town that day. When I walked into the nursery log house, the kids greeted me. Apparently the kids were playing cards in the living room.

Maka stopped by so I held her up.

"Hey, did you find the paddy?

"I found it, it's a little far away"

"Really? Can we even go to Maka?

"When Maka grows bigger, I'll take her with me."

"Yeah, eat a lot and grow up"

Coletica was watching how it went.

"Loricon?"

I was stunned. I didn't think Colettica knew that word, and she didn't think she'd use it against me.

"Chi, no. Who taught you 'Lolicon'?

"Brother Michihar"

The next time it's in Kawai, we'll have to discuss it thoroughly.

Director Tui Jing came into the living room.

"Mr. Cozillow, I think I'm gonna have to increase my firewood in preparation for the next winter."

Now that we've built the log house, we're talking about needing firewood for it.

"I'm going to the mountains."

The owner of the mountain is dead, so it is temporarily meant to be a possession of the town. I didn't do the proper procedure, but if you're from town, you could hang up and use it.

We will have to discuss it in the future, but they say it is good to be free at the moment.

I took Kawai to the mountains.

"Why, it's me?

"I asked you out because it would be a good job. Besides, I would have taught Coletica something weird. This is punishment."

"Kuh, I shouldn't have taught you anything extra"

"I need firewood. Help me with the logging."

We headed to Sugiyama first. to use the cedar of the logging wood as firewood, as appropriate. Logging shall be carried out with a shadow blade servel. It's easy because you can cut it down in one swing.

The problem is after I cut it down. We must pay the branches and cut them to the right length. I paid off the branches and cut them off.

"Hey, how do you take this home?

Kawai raised a voice of doubt.

I laugh furiously.

"I'll tell you a secret to keep. I'm capable like an item box."

"Wow, isn't that awesome?"

I was impressed with Kawai's excited face. But when I let out the shadow space and the oversized shadow bag from inside, I look delicate.

"Just in mind, can't you store it or something?

"You idiot, don't think about lying around. Your job is to stuff my chopped firewood in a shadow bag."

Yelling Kawai began the task of picking up firewood so that he had no choice and packing it into a shadow bag.

I started choosing which tree to cut down next.

That's when I heard the song.
