I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN) - Chapter 1483: Visiting the Ho

Shigenobu-san’s field certainly can’t be described as large, but he grew various kinds of vegetables, and the atmosphere was like my personal image of a vegetable farm in the countryside.

However, I often see people wanting to farm in slow life novels and other such media, but I think actual farming is really hard work.

In Shigenobu-san’s case, they have saved money from their travels before, and since he’s only enjoying farming as a hobby, it would be difficult to make a living from this.

For example, if 1 carrot sells for 100 yen, it’s hard to imagine how much he’d have to grow to earn enough money to live on for a year, and with the size of this farm…… he would have difficulty with the limit brought by the size of his land.

Vegetables aren’t something grown in just a day or two. They’re something that takes time to be cultivated, and since you’d need to take measures against disasters, insects and beasts, being a farmer is a really difficult profession.

[I’m somewhat interested in farming, but it seems like it’s really difficult, doesn’t it?]

[Well, if you want to make a living, you can’t do things leisurely no matter what job it is. However, thanks to the existence of magic in this world, there are things that are easier to some extent. It’s a little pricey, but there are Barrier Magic Tools being sold in the market, which can be used to prevent vermins from intruding the farm.]

[I see…… An acquaintance of mine, even with her small stature, also has a large-scale farm, so I guess she can manage all that because of magic huh.]

Well, to begin with, Raz-san is a strong person with the strength of a Peak Count-rank, so the scope of what she can do is on a completely different level……

[Everyone, I have prepared pickles with our home-grown vegetables, so please try them if you like.]

[Whoa, thank you very much. I love pickles!]

Hannah-san brought us some pickles, so we moved to the porch overlooking the fields and decided to eat them together. The mild-flavored pickles are quite delicious and crunchy. It’s just, it’s the nature of Japanese people to crave some rice while eating pickles.

Seemingly predicting this, Hannah-san prepared a lot of rice balls for us, and we all ate them.

[……How should I say this…… The Japanese-ness in this place is quite amazing.]

[Hahaha, well, this may be a little unusual in this world, but as a Japanese, I like this kind of thing.]

[I get you. The atmosphere in porches feels nice.]

It may sound strange to say this, but the atmosphere here feels like I’m visiting my grandparents’ house in the countryside. I wonder if it was because of our age difference with Shigenobu-san and Hannah-san? Perhaps, Shigenobu-san and Hannah-san also feel as if their nephews and grandchildren have come to visit them.

As I was thinking about this, I suddenly noticed Aoi-chan, who was staring at the field without saying a word.

[……Aoi-chan, are you worried about something?]

[Eh? Ahh, no, it’s just, I somehow feel like the condition of the soil seems to be bad……]

[Heehhh…… You can tell? It certainly hasn’t rained recently, so the soil isn’t feeling well. Well, it’s not like it held that big of an impact.]

After listening to Aoi-chan’s words, I turned my attention to the soil that I hadn’t paid attention to until now…… I could also somehow feel that the soil was in a bad state.

No, I don’t know how exactly soil is good and bad…… but I feel like the soil is tired.

[Certainly, it’s, like, it feels like the soil is tired……]

[Ahh, that’s right. It does feel like that.]

[Eh~~ I don’t know what you’re talking about. They just look like normal soil to me……]

Aoi-chan agrees with what I feel, but Hina-chan doesn’t seem to understand at all and just tilts her head.

[Aoi-chan is good at Earth Magic, so I guess she can tell information about earth?]

[No, but I’ve never felt that until…… Ahh.]

[Unnn?]

[Perhaps, is this the effect of Gaia-san’s Blessing!? Gaia-san is the God of Earth, so it’s understandable if it gives me the ability to understand the state of soil. Kaito-san is able to tell the same because you have Shallow Vernal-sama’s Blessing, but Hina-chan doesn’t know the state of the soil because she has Sky-san’s Blessing……]

I see, now that she mentioned it, that being the case is understandable. Aoi-chan received the Blessing of the Earth, and by its effect, she could understand the condition of the soil. It seems that Shiro-san’s Blessing I received is higher than the Blessings of all the Gods, so I could also tell the state of the soil.

Since Hina-chan has the Blessing of the Sky, it seems that she can’t tell the state of the earth…… Speaking of which, the fact that Hina-chan was able to perceive the wind so sharply back in the Flying Board Competition was probably thanks to the Blessing of the Sky.

As I was convinced, having such thoughts in mind, Shigenobu-san and Hannah-san had startled expressions on their face.

[……Oi, I’m kinda hearing some amazing conversation just now? Could it be that not just Kaito, the two of you also received an amazing blessing?]

[Errr, Aoi-chan received the Provisional Blessing of the God of Earth, and Hina-chan received the Provisional Blessing of the God of Sky.]

[……Aren’t those High-ranking Gods…… Oi, oi, what’s with my latest kouhais? Are you some era of monsters?]

[……I wish you wouldn’t lump me together with Kaito-senpai.]

[……Indeed, Kaito-san is a whole completely different level from others.]

[Wait, what are you two saying!?]

W- Well, understandable, I guess. Their sensibilities may have been paralyzed, but acquiring the Provisional Blessings of a High-ranking God was also quite the outrageous feat by normal standards.
