Chapter 233 - Praise Our Queen
"Alright, so we'll head behind the church and then wait for the stream to start, right?"
[Shou]-kun, please check if there's a letter from the [Dragonfolk].
"Oh, thanks."
What I secured on Tuesday, besides the rotten wood where [Chagatake] was growing, was a large quantity of [Papu Fruit].
I processed those into [Torotoro Dried Papu Fruit] again and sent a set of 30 to [Argenta]-san.
There's a chance a reply has arrived...
"Oh, it has."
Opening the [Magic Transfer Box] revealed only a letter.
She'd said she'd definitely return the favor, but I hadn't specifically mentioned wanting anything.
Besides, I'd already received a [Spatial Magic] grimoire.
"Woof?"
"~~~?"
"Sorry, just a moment. Let's go after I finish reading this."
[Lupi] peering at the letter from her sitting platform was adorable.
I first gave [Sweee] and the [Fairies] some [Dried Grapeful] as a snack.
And then, let's see...
*Dear Shou-sama,
I apologize for my sudden intrusion the other day. Her [Hii-sama (Princess)] greatly praised the [Camlus Fruit] sweets you gifted.
Thank you also for sending a large quantity of additional [Papu Fruit] dried goods.
I will ensure to keep a closer eye on things going forward.
Regarding the [Individual ID Number] of the [Transfer Magic Circle] you sent, we could not find its counterpart among our possessions.
It must be located in an as-yet unverified area of the [Dragon Capital], but as the aforementioned [Necropolis] falls within that scope, please exercise extreme caution.
As you may already know, [Transfer Magic Circles] cannot activate if there is an obstruction on top of them.
It would be safest to place an object of sufficient size and weight, such as a [Magic Transfer Box], on top of your [Transfer Magic Circle].
If it is currently exposed, please take immediate protective measures.
Lastly, if you have any difficulties or require anything, please do not hesitate to ask.
[Hii-sama (Princess)] herself has ordered me to reciprocate for the sweets, so...*
...
At any rate, it's good to know the [Camlus Fruit] compote was well-received.
It's a shame the other half of the [Transfer Magic Circle] wasn't found, but it's good to have confirmation that taking precautions on my end will be sufficient.
And as for what I'm troubled by right now, it's pretty much just that [Collapse Site]? Well, I do want milk, [Miso], and [Soy Sauce], but...
"[Mion], can you think of anything we need?"
Right now, perhaps cows?
"Well, yeah, but... I kind of want to acquire those myself."
*Since I specifically chose the [Uninhabited Island Start], I find it more enjoyable to make do with what I can find here. If I get one convenient item, I'll probably start wanting this and that.
Though, I've already received the [Spatial Magic] grimoire...*
"~~~?"
"Woof-hn."
"Ah, shoot. We should probably get moving soon."
That's right!
Well, there's nothing I particularly want, so a reply can wait...
*Everyone, welcome to [Mion and Shou's Relaxed Showtime]!
I'm [Mion], your host. It's a pleasure to be with you!*
[Shakeena] "Kyaaa~! [Mion]-chaaan!"
[Marionella] "Are the [Dragonfolk] coming today too?"
[Daytron] "
[Kokkuri] "First Wednesday live stream~ \(^o^)/"
[Disol] "Details about your relationship with the [Silver Dragon]!"
etc. etc...
My apologies. Please hold your questions about the [Dragonfolk] who visited during the last live stream until the Q&A session.
Scanning through, it was clear that most comments were about [Argenta]-san's visit.
I planned to dedicate about 30 minutes to that after introducing the farm and the church during today's stream.
Ah, my outfit is the same as last time, but today isn't a fishing stream. I'm sorry.
Mion's outfit being a fishing uniform must be causing misunderstandings. Damn it. I should switch back to the initial explorer's outfit, or prepare a normal streaming (?) outfit...
Alright, connecting to the island now. Shou-kun, Lupi-chan, Sweee-chan~
"Yo."
"Woof!"
"~~~♪"
Today's stream started just outside the cave leading to the back of the church.
The path, which felt like an approach to a shrine, now had quite a scenic atmosphere thanks to some weeding.
[Bluesha] "[Lupi]-chan is lively today too! ('▽')"
[Reaper] "She's a strong one!"
[Bearmen] "Glad you got to meet [Shou]-kun~ (≧∀≦)b"
[Gafugafu] "That's the [Wolf King] for ya!"
etc. etc...
*I was relieved to see everyone seemed concerned about [Lupi].
Well, they probably knew she was fine since the last live stream, but still, seeing that scene must have made them worry.*
[Shou]-kun, can you tell us in detail where you are right now?
"Understood. Uhm..."
And so, I explained the area beyond the [unlock code] door, past the [crossroads], and out of the cave.
After briefly mentioning the farm further ahead, before going there,
"I couldn't introduce this last time, but..."
I looked at [Sweee] on my left shoulder, and she nodded as if to say "Mm-hm" and beckoned.
Then, the [Fairies] came flocking.
"""~~~♪"""
*Lined up to [Sweee]'s left and right, a dance to praise the Queen?
No, why is [Sweee] acting so haughty about it?*
[Bluesha] "Kawaii~ ('▽')"
[Shakeena] "Praise her~ ♪( ´▽｀)ノ"
[Chiral] "[Sweee]'s smug face is too cute lol"
[Catin] "[Lupi]-chan looks exasperated, lol?"
etc. etc...
Well, it seems to be a hit, so I guess it's fine.
"Alright, let's head to the farm."
Okay!
As we walked along the atmospheric path where sparse [Stone Pavement] could be seen, the church spire gradually came into view.
The comment section was bustling, but the church itself had no "mishap" elements...
Arriving at the back of the church, various fields came into view.
"Uhm, this area here is for [Odapra]..."
It's gotten quite spacious, but I'm focusing more on variety than sheer quantity.
I've planted a bit more [Perilsense] (sesame) and [Glycine] (soybeans).
[Odapra] (potatoes), [Lexon] (watercress), [Rudish] (radishes), and the [Lycos] (tomatoes) I planted on Monday also seem to be doing well.
[Nyx] "Good growth~"
[Vitamin] "Delicious vegetables, guaranteed!"
[Nantsuu] "Still having so much land available, I'm jealous~"
[Choccol] "Do you take care of it every day?"
etc. etc...
"I wonder if this back area was originally a small field? I tend to it once or twice a week, like this."
I ask the spirits to gently sprinkle nutrient-rich (?) water. Other than that, I just pull weeds when I notice them.
So you're asking the Water Spirit and Tree Spirit for help.
"Exactly, [Sweee] taught me this, so it should be correct."
[Asanasan] "I see~"
[Subrock] "The Queen's seal of approval!"
[Koji] "Could this be the rumored buff-food ingredient?"
[Grand] "Let's make a 'Made by [Shou]-kun' mark lol"
etc. etc...
"Buff-food ingredients? I don't think so, but..."
*I don't usually check my stats after eating, so...
When [Lupi] had the [Camlus Fruit] compote, she glowed faintly, but there was nothing like that this time.*
We'll have to check.
"Yeah."
If I have time today, I plan to showcase the [Camlus Fruit] compote that I gave to [Argenta]-san last time.
[Bell]-bucho said 'This is bad' when I showed it to her, but now it seems the recipe is already widespread, so it should be fine, right?
