or coming.
You really helped me out.”

 

“Dolly.
Nice to see you again,” bell said.

 

“Kyu.”

 

“No, no.
I was interested after hearing about Yuta from Sylphy, so it’s no problem.
Bell-chan, Rain-chan, it’s nice to see you again.
You did a great job with your task, and you’re both so admirable,” the forest Great Spirit said.

 

“Hehe,” Bell giggled.

 

“Kyu.”

 


Wow.
Bell and Rain were both smitten.
The power of a sheltered young lady was truly fearsome.
Or perhaps it was the negative ion effect of a forest spirit that could be expected.

 

Bell and Rain, who became interested in the young fox, rush over and embrace it, saying “fluffy, fluffy.” How envy-inducing.

 

“Dolly-chan, it’s been a while.
How have you been?” Suddenly, Dyne appears and hugs Dolly, rubbing her cheek against hers.
Are they good friends?

 

“Ah, you’re here.
I was waiting,” says Nomos.

 

Both Nomos and Turu have arrived.
Turu seems a bit uneasy, so I guide him towards the young fox.
Turu approaches the young fox cautiously and slowly enjoys petting it.
Lucky him.

 

“Dyne, Nomos, it’s been a while.
I’m doing well.
I heard you guys are having fun too,” says Dolly.

 

“Hehe, we’re having a blast.
It’ll be even more fun now that Dolly-chan is here,” Dyne giggles.

 

“Hmm, never a dull moment,” Nomos adds.

 

“Dolly, let’s catch up later.
We came here in a hurry because we need to check on the field.
We don’t want the crops to wither,” says Slyphy.

 

Oh right, I forgot.
Checking on the crops is the most important thing.

 

“I’m sorry, I completely forgot,” says Dolly.

 

She checks the field, gently touching the sprouts and examining the soil.
It’s nerve-wracking just watching her.

 

“The crops are growing properly.
The soil balance isn’t ideal, but these plants are a strong breed that can withstand harsh conditions.
They should grow without any issues,” says Dolly.

 

Oh, they should be ok to eat.
I was just amazed by the sprouts sprouting from the seeds, and now all I can think about is eating them.

 

“That’s great.
Is there anything we should be aware of?” I ask, and after a brief pause, she gives me an answer.

 

“Although they are strong in harsh conditions, there are still limits.
Please be careful not to let the soil dry out or become too moist,” Dolly warns.

 

“I’ve asked Rain to take care of the watering.
She sprays mist-like water to keep the soil moist.
Can you confirm it later?” Yuta replies.

 

“Sure, I’ll join you,” she say, relieved that I don’t have to figure out the water amount.

 

“In that case, Dolly can stay here, right?” Nomos asks.

 


“Yes, the environment here is suitable for plant growth, so it’s possible to stay.
However, this field has its limits, and we need an environment where we can grow more plants.
Also, there’s one more condition.
I’ll tell you about it if you can create an environment for growing more plants,” Dolly explains.

 

Ah, as expected of Nomos.
I’m glad I prepared a space where a forest can be grown as he suggested.

 

“In that case, Dolly, we’ve already created a space for a forest to grow.
Can you check it out?” I ask.

 

“O-Oh, already created? That’s wonderful,” Dolly says.

 

I guide Dolly to the south of the base where the forest is planned.

 

“Here it is.
It might be a bit small for a forest, but please forgive us,” I say.

 

“Well, there’s a spring in the center.
Also, this soil is very similar to the soil in the field.
It seems that there are slightly fewer microorganisms… but it should be okay,” Dolly responds.

 

Good response.
If this doesn’t work, I don’t know what will.
The microorganisms will increase over time since we just mixed the soil.

 

“I see.
Since there’s no problem, can you tell us about the final condition?” I ask.

 

“Yes.
The final condition is not to give up on developing this land.
After hearing Sylphy’s story, I got the feeling that if you go to town, you might not come back.
You’ve worked so hard up to this point, so please continue to develop this land.
What do you think?” Dolly explains.

 

I never intended to give up.
But what does it mean not to give up on developing this land? It’s impossible to fully devote myself to developing this land.
I want to enjoy this new world too.

 

“Hey, Sylphie.
How long does it take to get to the nearest town once we’re able to go?”

 

“Well, let me see.
With me carrying Yuta, it would take about three hours to get to the closest town.
But Bell and the others won’t be able to keep up.
Anywhere on this continent can be reached within half a day though.”

 

Wow, high wind spirits are amazing.
They can even carry me and still be faster than Bell.
But with that kind of speed, I can come back here anytime.

 

“Sylphie is amazing.”

 

“Well, of course.
You shouldn’t underestimate the Wind Spirits.”

 

Yeah, that smug expression is acceptable.
It’s just too impressive that she can travel across this continent in half a day.

 

“Oh, Dolly.
I have no intention of giving up this land, but I also have no intention of putting all my efforts into developing it.
I plan to enjoy the other world while making up for what this land lacks.
So, the pace of development will be slow, and the range won’t expand unless it’s necessary.”

 

“If you’re willing to continue developing this land little by little without abandoning it, that’s not a problem.
I will stay here to assist you.”

 

The forest spirit and the charming fluffy child fox spirit have become companions.
