v5c164 - Mysterious fertilizer that makes the crops taste better
“Once again, I am Tsubaki, Sister Sakura’s younger sister. There have been many misunderstandings, and I apologize to Master Alex, Lady Meilin, and everyone else for the trouble I have caused you.”
Tsubaki joined us for lunch and bowed deeply to everyone, but…
“Alex. Why has she suddenly changed so much?”
“W-Who knows …… I wonder why.”
Ellie’s gaze is cold.
I took a bite of my lunch, thinking of something to change the subject for the moment…
“Eh!? What is this!? This corn …… tastes so good.”
“…… Oh my, you’re right. I thought Alex was just trying to fool me, but it tastes so good.”
“It’s true! It’s so sweet and flavorful!”
Everyone agreed, including Ellie and Nina.
“The corn was harvested by Mugi. And, she said that she can which wheat has a very tasty crop by its smell.”
“The crop that smells like the white stuff Mugi ate when she became a human being is the most delicious.”
Hm? Hmmm!!??? That can’t be! No, no, no, that can’t be it …… right?
“Could it be …… Mugi-han. Did you take this corn from the southern fields?”
“Yeah, that’s right, meow.”
“I knew it …… I was right! Okay. I’m going to prepare a very tasty crop for dinner, just like this corn! Does anyone have any crops they’d like to try?”
Rei suddenly stood up and asked us to tell her what we wanted to eat.
“For me, all of the food Lydia and Ellie have prepared is delicious.”
“I think so, too …… No, I want to do an experiment, a comparison, to see if it works.”
Oh, that’s what you mean.
I know that this corn has Lydia’s seasoning, of course, but it’s incredibly tasty.
Rei has a good idea of what Mugi is smelling, and she wants to check it out.
“If that’s the case …… then Nina wants cabbage!”
“Okay. Well, let’s go with the cabbage that Nina-han han decided on. I don’t know how much of an effect it will have by the end of the night, but I’ll give it a try anyway! So, Alex-han. I look forward to your cooperation!”
Saying that, Rei winked at me.
No, I’ve already imagined it to some extent, but just in case …… no, I’m not going to do it because I feel like a bush snake.
“…… Well, I’ll help you out.”
“Fufufu. In that case, I’ll help you.”
“Master! I’ll help you, too! Cabbage fields are a bit of a challenge, but I can handle it.”
Mio and Monica, sensing something, came forward to help, but are we really going to do it in a cabbage field!?
After a while, each of them moved on to their own work…
“Well, Alex-han. Come here.”
“Oh, Rei’s room, thank goodness …… wait, you’re not making energy drinks as you did before, are you?”
“…… I-It’s fine for now.”
We went into Rei’s room with Mio and Monica.
She said that it’s fine for now, but what about normally?
“Fufufu …… I can smell that Alex has been with the Shinobi sisters since this morning. That’s not fair! Do it with me quickly too!”
“What!? No way …… Master, it’s not fair! Why didn’t you invite me!? …… But now I understand why Miss Tsubaki had become so docile. Her eyes show that she’s completely in love, after all …… Ah! What kind of skill did you gain from Miss Tsubaki? Can you make three clones now?”
“No, that is …… it’s the same as with the angel tribe, and I don’t seem to have gained any …… Maybe there’s a cap on the number of times you can use it.”
Like the angel tribe, I don’t feel like I’m getting stronger, despite being kissed repeatedly and intensely by Tsubaki.
Does skill recognize the sisters as the same person?
But if I don’t get stronger, I won’t be able to protect everyone, and I wonder what should I do.
“…… Wait, while I’m talking to Monica, what is Mio doing …… Kuh!”
“Fufufu …… you don’t have to endure it. I’m gonna take it all.”
“Oh, Alex-han. Use your clone technique first. I want you to let it out on the beaker, like you did before.”
I was surrounded by Mio, Monica, and Rei …… and I had to provide a lot of that.
