“A-Ahem. Let me introduce you. This is Viviana of the bear-eared tribe.”
“I-I’m Viviana. I have just become the wife of Sir Alex, so please take good care of me.”
“Wife? …… Mr. Alex. What’s going on?”
L-Lydia’s gaze is so cold.
I was about to start explaining the situation, when Tsubaki, perhaps because she knew what was going on, started to back me up.
“Ms. Lydia. Ms. Viviana challenged him to a thrusting contest, and after a tremendous thrust by Master Alex, she begged him to make her his wife.”
No, she wasn’t backing me up at all!
I mean, it’s subtly correct, but the nuance is wrong!
“Heh. A thrusting match, huh? Sounds like an interesting match. You’ll do the same thing to me later, right?”
“Wha- …… Y-You’re that thin and slender, but you can take that blow from Sir Alex!? You’re going to die!”
“Ms. Viviana, this might be the first you see Master Alex’s thing, but I’ve had it done to me every day! I’m the one being loved by Master Alex!”
“Ahhh, if it’s about that, it’s okay! I know that there are countries and races that have polygamy. Especially that powerful blow by Sir Alex …… I really want my child to inherit that power.”
“Kuh …… I know the elves are weak when it comes to physicality, but the good thing about the true Mr. Alex is his kindness and his righteous heart! I want my child with Mr. Alex to have that kind of heart!”
The conversation …… The conversation took a strange turn.
How did we go from talking about fists to talking about children!
“Viviana and Lydia, STOP! For now, I’ll explain the situation and what I want to ask Lydia to do.”
I stopped Viviana and Lydia, who were getting a little too competitive for some reason, and talked about the circumstances up until now…
“…… In other words, you want pasture for these dairy cows. Hmmm …… Okay, I understand.”
Somehow she understood.
However, she still has a difficult look on her face, but she is probably happy to get milk.
As for me, I’d be happy if everyone got along.
“Ms. Viviana. What kind of pasture do you think is good? The kind of grass I–the elves–think of is silken grass, but I also think white stuffed grass and alfalfa are also called pasture grass.”
“What!? W-Wait a minute, I don’t know what you are talking about. I think the grass that Ms. Lydia imagines is fine.”
“I understand. Then, I will grow silken grass around it.”
Lydia uses spirit magic to make the grass grow.
In the case of fields, the ground is plowed, but with pasture grass, it is unnecessary …… or rather, it seems better not to do it.
If the soil becomes soft, the dairy cows might get trampled.
Since my plowing is unnecessary, I hold hands with Lydia instead of my usual piggyback ride, and as we let the grass grow around us, I also spread out a wall of stones.
“Sir Alex. It’s amazing that you can make grass appear. But it’s not fair that you hold hands with Ms. Lydia only! I want to hold your hand too!”
“If so, I’ll hold your hand too …… Ah, she took it first! T-Then I’ll be on your back!”
“Ms. Viviana and Ms. Tsubaki, I’m holding hands with Mr. Alex so that I can share the magic power with him. Ms. Viviana, please keep an eye on the dairy cows to make sure they do not run away. Also, Ms. Tsubaki, please go to Nora’s place and call her to build the barn when it is time to work.”
Lydia gives instructions to Viviana and Tsubaki as they approach.
She seems to be very enthusiastic, perhaps because of the milk.
Then the east-northeast area becomes much wider and became flatter pastureland.
In the meantime, Nora, who had heard from Viviana, completed the barn with the Golem and other dolls, and even built a fence to prevent the poultry and cow from going to other areas.
“Ah! Shoot! We need buckets for the milk from the cows, but we forgot them!”
“It’s okay! While we were waiting, Ms. Nina made some for us. We have five buckets for now.”
Tsubaki took out the bucket and everything was ready, so Mugi, who had come to take care of the poultry, joined them to try milking the cow.
“I had already received a lecture on milking. But I have a strong grip, so I don’t think it would be good for me and Sir Alex to try it.”
“Oh? Why shouldn’t Mr. Alex do it?”
“Because I feel that with Sir Alex’s grip, the cows will get hurt.”
“I think he will be fine. Rather, I think he’s the most skilled out of all of us …… Ahem. Then, I’ll try it.”
Lydia immediately tried milking the cow, but I guess it was difficult and did not come out well.
The same goes for Tsubaki and Nora, and Mugi, who has been appointed as a caretaker ……
“It came out. This is fun.”
“Oh, that’s amazing.”
I wonder if it’s the force or the way she handles it.
She listens to Viviana’s advice, and is doing a good job of squeezing the milk.
“Well, how about you give it a try, Sir Alex?”
“Hmmm, I should just do it like Mugi, right? …… Oh, there it is …… Wait, I guess they come out well.”
“It’s a lot more than Mugi does.”
When I imitated Mugi, the bucket is filled up with milk.
“I knew it, it must be that Mr. Alex-san was the best at handling them ……”
“Master Alex usually handles Ms. Monica’s and Ms. Ellie’s big things, after all.”
“Lydia and Tsubaki, what are you talking about?”
I agree with Nora and wonder what are they talking about, but …… results are results, so I decided to keep quiet.
