“Yes! We’re finally back.”
“Yeah. I want to see Pero and Freya soon.”
Mana City can be seen on the horizon. We have finally returned to the kingdom. When I saw the city where I’m used to live in, tiredness came rushing in. The trip was very exciting, but activities in an unfamiliar environment would still place a heavy mental burden. In conclusion, I’m the type who feels at best being at my own turf. I want to eat my fill and lie down in bed as soon as possible.
However, there is something I have to do first before going home. We made the unicorns gallop to Mana and then we directly head to the Lord’s mansion. I must report the results of our trip first. Luckily, I was able to meet with the Lord immediately. I was guided to the reception area and there I met the City Lord with a face full of expectation.
“How was it?”
“The request has been fulfilled. I have persuaded the Kings of the four kingdom and they promised to send their troops. Troops from each kingdom will come here soon.”
“I see, you did it huh. Now the kingdom won’t be destroyed.”
The Lord picks up the teacup on the table and he happily sips some tea. He’s like he is finally freed from anxiety, he gives off that vibe.
“I have something to say though.”
“What is it?”
“Each kingdom said they would send their troops as they trust me. In short, the troops were sent to help me, not the kingdom. Will that be okay?”
The Lord stayed silent. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth.
“Duke Medil and I were also thinking about such possibility. It was a situation I wanted to avoid, but at this time, it can’t be helped.”
“Should I report this to Duke of Medil?”
“No, I’ll do that. I know you’re tired from such a long journey, take a rest.”
“Thank you. I’m indeed tired. By the way, I have one question to ask. What kind of people are the Royals of this kingdom?”
When I asked that, the City Lord’s face changed completely. He looked like a child whose lies had been revealed.
“…Where did you hear it from?”
“From the Queen of Sanargia and the King of Dartan Rock. Are they that detestable?”
“Good or bad, they are the Royal Family of the humans. Aside from that, I can’t say anything more.”
As expected, it seems that their reputation is not good. It’s reasonable that the City Lord to just make such ambiguous remark. Hopefully I won’t be involved with them anymore.
“With that, I want to give you this reward.”
The Lord puts a pouch of gold coins on the table. It’s a considerable amount in terms of size. For the time being, I decided to check the content inside.
“There are about 500 gold coins here. Would you really like me to have this much?”
“You’ve done that much work. That reward is a given.”
500 gold coins are about 500 million Japanese yen. This extraordinary reward was probably because I hold the key to save the Kingdom’s crisis. I’m happy that my bosom gets warm but I don’t have any use for it at the moment. I’m afraid I’ll get in trouble if I get this much. Well, I will not tell Erna about this though. I’m sure she’ll just say that she wants clothes anyway.
“I won’t decline this then. If you have a job for us, please feel free to ask the Homeless.”
I got out of my seat and then I went out of the mansion. Erna, who was waiting outside, was observing the city while eating skewers. I guess she bought it from a stall somewhere.
“Oh, Shinichi. Did you finish your talk?”
“Yeah, I also got a proper remuneration. Now we can finally go home.”
“Yes—, I’m sooo tired. I want to quickly lie on a soft futon.”
“Alright then, let’s head home.”
We decided to head back to the dungeon.
◇
When I woke up, Pero was asleep while hugging me. I guess I have to buy a bed. I got up and washed up. After returning to the hideout yesterday, I told Pero and Freya about our trip. I also prepared some dishes and we ate rare monster meat so we had a good time.
It’s now 5 am. I slept enough so I’m thinking of going to see what the fields are like now. I went out of the hideout and then I headed straight to the fields on the miniature garden. During our trip, my clone was in this dungeon. Pero and Freya were also here so I don’t think it will go bad but I’m a little worried.
“Oh, you’re back.”
My clone spotted me when I arrived at the field, and he stops what he’s doing. It seems that he is digging up the soil with a hoe.
“How is the harvest?”
“There’s no problem. While you are not here, I delivered vegetables to Arnold. If anything, as there’s much free time, I remodelled it in various ways.”
I had a bad feeling. I thought he wouldn’t go crazy because this clone is a part of my self but apparently, I misunderstood. For the time being, let’s try to check his skills.
| 【Analysis Result: Separate body of Homeless (King) derived from skill, Division: A homeless person reincarnated from another world. He is fascinated with muscles, and he thinks that the ideal muscle image is Arnold. He seemed to be bored these days so he was addicted to playing with plants: Rarity (SS): Overall Ability (S)】 |
| 【Status】 Name: Shinichi Tanaka Age: 17 years old (56 years old) Race: Divided body of Homeless (King) <High Dragoneut | Vampire> Occupation: Adventurer Magic Attribute: No Attribute Magic: Restoration Space, Isolation Space Skills: Familiar Creation, Familiar Summoning, Dragon Transformation, Skill Picking, Race Picking, King’s Vessel ▹Special: Stealth, Eyesight Enhancement, Hearing Enhancement, Smell Enhancement, Super Sensation, Shock Absorption, Hardening, Plant manipulation, Leadership, Indomitable Spirit ▹Advanced: Theft, Enemy Search, Digestion Enhancement, Flight, Plant Manipulation (Improved) New, Paralyzing Eye ▹Intermediate: Master of War, Underwater Adaptation, Fist King Technique, Limit Breakthrough ▹Beginner: Analysis, Breathing, Universal Thread, Division, Danger Prediction, Self-Renewal, Dictatorship, Familiar Strengthening Evolution: Does not meet the conditions <Requirements: Analysis (Special grade), Life or Death Technique (Advanced)> |
I analysed his status for the first time. Surprisingly, the rarity is SS and the overall ability is S. I should think of Homeless as a rare and strong race. In this way, I can understand that I am a blessed person.
The evolution column is somewhat strange though. The magical beasts and people I’ve seen so far have had to clear at least three conditions for evolution. With only two condition, the speed of his evolution will be reasonably faster.
Now, the problem is this new skill, Remodelled Plant Manipulation, It used to be Plant Manipulation but it seems that it has evolved before I knew it. The rank has already reached the advanced level, with that itself, I can clearly see how absorbed he is in the remodelling.
“Why are looking at my analysis? Rather than that, look at the vegetables that I remodelled.”
My clone goes to the hut near the field, he came back holding a pile of vegetables and put them below me. It varies from things that I have seen to things that I do not recognize. One thing I can say is that none of them were grown in this miniature garden before.
“Don’t tell me…you’ve grown this broccoli and pumpkin?”
“I made it by remodelling it. I had a hard time making these tomatoes and peppers though.”
I tried to sniff the tomatoes and peppers that were handed to me. It’s tomato and peppers, no doubt about it. It’s also pretty good. There were also other vegetables I knew such as eggplant and green onions, I was surprised but I’m satisfied.
“—But, what is this?”
What I grabbed was an orange melon-like vegetable. It looks like a large mango.
“It’s a modified pumpkin vegetable. It tastes like pumpkin but it even sweeter and richer.”
I pick up a purple and blue mottled vegetable. It looks poisonous.
“This is?”
“It looks like a carrot but tastes like taro. It’s delicious whether boiled or baked.”
I wonder what can be modified to make such vegetables. I have no complaints if it tastes good, I don’t think I’ll like it though. I was also shown some modified vegetables and fruits but they were not wholesaled to the city market yet. Who will buy striped cabbage anyway?
“Is this the only ones that has been remodelled?”
“No, I’m playing around with each level and in the livestock farm. Do you want to see it in your spare time?”
“……Let’s do that.”
If I merged with my clone, our memory will also be fused. However, I don’t think I will do that so soon. I decided that it would be better to first see what he had done with my own eyes. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I’ll have an unlikely experience of being surprised seeing the new memory.
I decided to take a look around it now with the guidance of my clone.
“Here, we grow the fruits of Prote”
In the second miniature garden, an unfamiliar tree was growing near the balm tree. I’m surprised to see that the fruit is just like a banana. I immediately check it with my analysis skill.
【Analysis Result: Fruit of Prote: Fruits of the Prote tree. Eating one temporarily strengthens your physical strength. The taste is sweet: Rarity (SS): Overall ability(-)】
I turned my gaze to my clone. Don’t tell me, is it the case?
“I made it from the balm tree. I didn’t have much trouble adjusting it, but the color was a bit unsatisfactory. I wanted to make a fluorescent banana if possible…”
“Enough. Let’s go to the next one.”
While my clone was grumbling, I move to the third miniature garden. Lich C have been growing mushrooms here.
“W-What is this…?”
I’m speechless. A large hut was built in the place where the mushroom plantation was. The skeletons were busy carrying a large number of boxes. Looking inside from the window of the building, a large number of boxes are lined up and skeletons are spraying water to the mushrooms growing from the boxes.
“What’s going on?”
“Lich C and I talked about building a full-fledged mushroom plantation.”
My clone was by my side before I knew it. He is holding a mushroom that I have never seen before.
“This is Rainbow Mushroom. It’s an all-purpose recovery mushroom created by modifying the golden mushroom you cultivated.”
“Rainbow mushroom? All-purpose recovery mushroom??”
The mushroom that my clone has is similar in shape to Golden mushroom, but the umbrella has rainbow color. It looks too fairy tale like.
“This is a new generation in the mushroom world. In addition to the healing effect of golden mushroom, it has the effect of curing any disease. Additionally, it has a resilience that surpasses that of cure mushroom. As long as you have this, whether your arms are torn or your legs are gone, you can regenerate as much as you want. What, surprised?”
My clone seems to be so excited and he emphasizes that rainbow mushroom is his revolutionary creation. Now I knew that rainbow mushroom is wonderful thing so I decided to head to the livestock farm in the meantime. After transferring through the Temple of Teleportation, we reached the 25th floor. There, I was surprised again.
There were enough rice that covers the scenery on the 25th floor before but now, there are no such plants. Not even one!
“Katakata”
Turning to the sound, Suketarou and the ten skeletons who are the commanders of the corps are silently planting seedlings. A towel was wrapped around their head and it recreate the good old Japanese rice planting style. Right then, my clone comes over.
“I’m currently planting a variety that I remodelled which is similar to Koshihikari. I’ve only harvested it once but before you finished eating the harvested rice, you should be able to harvest this next batch of rice.”
“Is it close to Koshihikari? Is it okay to think that it is better than the previous one?”
“Yes, the result is pretty good.”
My heart jolt. Rice is my soul food. There is no complaint if it becomes even more delicious. When I waved to Suketarou and the others who are working, they clattered their jaws and turned around.
“Then, shall we go to the livestock farm?”
We then head to the livestock farm on the 24th floor. I was instantly surprised.
“What’s this!?”
In the place where the livestock farm was, the building was further expanded to that of a site for one Tokyo Dome. The fields that were being built nearby became even larger. The apple trees that were planted were lined up in rows. When I hurried into the livestock farm, I found an unprecedented number of livestock. All animals, such as unicorns, sheep, cows and pigs, ate quietly.
“Amazing, isn’t it? Pero, Freya and me caught them. I left the extension to the skeletons and they did it well.”
“What are you going to do with this amount? Isn’t it too much for food?”
“I’m thinking about that too. Well, rather than that, come this way.”
I went to the back of the hut with the guidance of my clone and I arrived at a dark place without windows. I can hear birds singing in my ears. When I look closely, I can see that a large number of night chickens are bred in the room. The chickens feed and lay white eggs. The skeleton in charge was quickly collecting the laid eggs.
“I decided that we couldn’t keep the night chicken on the 28th floor forever. The food and environment are perfect here.”
“W-Wonderful! As expected of myself! This is good! I can eat TKG anytime!”
“That’s a given! I may be a genius! Kuhahaha!”
We laugh at each other.
I felt astonished as I did things so well. With this amount, it may not be too late to get soy sauce. After that, I and my clone merged, and I was able to return safely to one person.
