[Onii-chan, is that it? Is that your village?]
Leelan peeked out from the carriage .
At the end of the road was the entrance to our village .
[Yeah, it is]
[Leelan, stop sticking out your head like that, it’s dangerous]
When Amy reprimanded her, Leelan promptly hid behind Ayla .
Holding a rose in one hand, she hugged Ruby with her other hand like plush toys .
[Ayla-ane, Amy-san is bullying me~]
There there, Ayla stroke Leelan’s hair . Actually, Leelan wasn’t really afraid of Amy .
She just feigned being scared, very obvious from the fact that when she’s sleeping at night, she usually sleeps closer to Amy than to Ayla .
[Ho, is that the village that master has built?]
Gina also peeked out to check, but that caused the carriage to be out of balance and shook slightly .
[Gina!! Please stop acting like a kid!!]
Amy’s reproof flew out once more . Causing Gina to quietly shrunk herself at the corner of the carriage .
[Now now, it’s the first time for the both of them, just let them be]
I put my hand on Gina’s shoulder and comforted her to not be worried about it too much .
As for Amy, I knew she does not actually hate it if people acted childish around her .
Anyways, Amy was the first one trying to secure Gina when the carriage rocked just now .
She didn’t reprimand people because she hates something, it’s just her acting as the team’s mom because she likes taking care of others .
[Hibiki-dono, can we enter the village as is?]
The male centaur of the centaurs couple, Shiron, who’d been running alongside the carriage, asked .
[Yeah . Sorry to make you two run all the way here . I’ll arrange a resting place right away as soon as we arrived at the village]
[It’s alright . We are part-horse, so it’s not really bad to act as one . ]
Apparently, that does not only apply to endurance but also fighting capability .
Centaurs seemed to be an all-around player in terms of offense and defense . (TL Note: the author used ‘Multiplayer’, which is weird)
By the way, Brigit is sleeping . These elves seemed to be indifferent to anything once they lost interest .
They are declining in number, perhaps because they are also indifferent to their own kinds .
As soon as we entered the village, we received a warm welcome from the villagers .
At the front was the lizardman Pinot, who greeted us with a smile .
The goblin and vampire combined force seemed to be in the middle of training, waving spears and pikes .
[I, I’m not lying, you see!? Horon, I will gallop ahead with you no matter what!!]
Shiron suddenly kneeled on the ground . In front of him was Horon, his wife, who was shaking her head while in tears .
[We will always be together, Shiron!!]
[Horon!!]
The two then hugged each other . They are in their own world right now .
Well, let’s just leave them be .
[Welcome back . Hibiki-san]
A voice came up from behind .
It was Latia .
[Welcome, Hibiki~]
And Yaku is also here, eh?
[You two, I’m back . Something happened while I was away?]
[Let’s see]
[There is!!]
Unlike Latia, Yaku replied vigorously .
In any case, it didn’t seem to be urgent, so I decided to let everyone to have some rest .
Especially for the centaurs couple . Let’s prepare a room for them first .
[How about you, Hibiki-niichan?]
I still need to take Sai back, so I stroke Yaku’s head while telling that I would go back home afterwards .
Right then,
Leelan came out with such great momentum .
She knocked Yaku away before clinging to my arm .
[O, oi, Leelan]
[Onii-chan is MY Onii-chan!!]
Not taking Leelan’s action kindly, Yaku stood back up .
[What was that for!!]
And then, they started to fight .
[Ho, hold, hold it right there you two~]
Latia desperately tried to break them off in vain .
[Both of you, stop it!!]
Again, Amy-kaasan struck like lightning .
[Leelan, if you want to be my husband’s sister, you should be more obedient . ]
[Yes]
[Yaku, wouldn’t your onii-chan be disappointed by your action just now?]
Seeing her dealing with the kids skillfully, I left the matter to Amy and I headed back home .
Latia waited quietly until I finished my slow and relaxing bath .
[So, what really happened?]
After finishing my bath, I asked Latia about what actually happened while I was away over a meal .
[It’s about Hibiki-san’s pool on the grass field]
Apparently, a monster had settled in the light and darkness pool I built on the grass field while we were away .
The creature itself didn’t disturb the village, and I had forewarned the goblins to not approach the area, so apparently, that’s why they let it be .
[It appears to be taking care of the area . It would be a pity if we drive it out . ]
Latia apologized .
[Well, if it’s really harmless, then I have nothing to complain]
And so we decided to check the pool .
[What is happening here?]
It’s clear to me that ahead of us were lots of trees different from those on the forest nearby .
The experimental field was originally not that wide, but who knows that by manipulating the terrain into a mortar-shape would help to focus the magic power?
Checking up the tree in front of me, the name 『Wicky’s Tree』 was displayed .
[What is a Wicky’s tree?]
When I cut its leaf, it read 『Pool grass（Dark）』
[It’s actually the pool grass after all . Then what’s with the Wicky’s tree?]
Hearing my voice, a naked beauty unfurls from the tree that I cut the leaf from .
[I am Wicky]
[So it’s an Alraune . So rare to see one being so close to a village like this . ]
Brigit seemed to be familiar with this creature’s identity .
Looking closely at Wicky, it has a form of a beautiful woman but made entirely from plants .
So I asked why it ended up here since it seemed to be capable of communication .
[Wicky, was captured by humans]
Alraune’s sap is an ingredient for a magical potion . Perhaps that’s why .
[It’s a felony to forcefully strip an Alraune away from the forest . Could it be a smuggled good?]
Amy added .
[Cage broke, so I escaped]
So it managed to escape because its cage was broken .
[But, Wicky was hungry]
It was stripped away from the forest, so no wonder it lacked energy .
[In here, lots of delicious foods]
Magic power is like food for Wicky . It’s been feeding on the magic power in the area .
[The food here, the most delicious]
So that means it liked my magic .
[Here, Wicky’s forest]
Because of that, you claimed this place as your own? Are you kidding me?
[But, this field is mine though]
It tilted her head cutely .
Took a lot of patience, but I finally managed to explain things to it after an hour or so .
[I’m sorry . I just want to eat]
In any case, it was me who infused this land with magic power, as well as the grasses (now trees) .
[Isn’t it alright? Don’t the plants on the forest with Alraune always grow well?]
As Brigit said, the pool grasses previous growing in the area had become trees, and the tree leaves itself are pool grasses .
Moreover, as expected from a plant spirit, Alraune . It could even grow a tree without regard to light or dark attributes .
[I see . Should we just leave this place to Wicky then? ]
Perhaps listening to our conversation, its face brightened as it raised both of its hands .
And from there grew two fruits .
[Do you like plant girl?]
Amy-san, that’s scary .
And once again, the residents of my village is increased .
Well, this fellow will be just fine since people rarely come here .
But first, I need to tell Gillen about this Wicky’s existence .
I want to ask if he knew anything about this smuggling . If he does, then we’ll have something more to discuss .
He’s already swamped in his works, I actually don’t want to add even more things .
And just like that, we found a way to mass-produce pool grass . But who would’ve guessed that it’ll bring more trouble to me later on?
