Chapter 100

It seems the agricultural team has finished planting the seeds.

For some reason, I was refused when I offered to help... I gave up on negotiating.

...I'll work hard during the harvest.

Still, it's so vast.

As far as the eye can see in the warmth of spring... fields, forests.

And there's a square.

It's a bit... quite different from what I aimed for, but there's no problem.

I'm not thinking about surviving in a tropical rainforest!

...Why is that?

There's an amoeba in the field.

I checked up close... it seems to be helping in the field.

...I was refused when I offered to help.

What's the difference?

Hmm?

Is this a new amoeba?

The amoebae in the river don't leave the river... so this must be a new one.

Well, nice to meet you... field amoeba?

...

The children born this year are already going hunting with their parents.

I was worried because they are still smaller compared to their parents, but it seems there's no problem.

Recently, the children have even started bringing back small prey.

The mothers have also started participating in the hunts, so there are enough hands for hunting.

...I have nothing to do.

That's a problem.

Lately, I've been walking around looking for work...

It's strange, I thought there would be more to do, like making things or hunting.

...This life is far from what I expected.

Well, this is comfortable...

It's comfortable, but it's a bit too much to have nothing to do.

I've heard that having capable companions is good, but I think it's bad if they are too capable.

I'll become useless.

I need to stay mentally strong, at least.

I'll go check on the marshmallows underground.

I was worried that the snow wouldn't melt with the arrival of spring, but it seems there's no problem.

I hope it stays this way in the summer.

The marshmallows throw snow at me.

...Could you be a bit gentler?

The snow amoebae also show their faces.

So, could you be a bit more gentle!

I got covered in snow.

It's strange, I just came to check on them.

I was a bit worried about the snow, so I used magic to make some snow.

They were really happy.

Maybe the snow had decreased, I need to be more careful.

It's warm.

The freezer is too cold, of course.

I can't use warming magic inside the freezer.

Next time, I'll bring a coat.

Next, I'll check the river.

The river that flows without freezing even when it snows.

The water amoebae show their faces and beckon to me.

Sorry, it's still too cold.

...Next is water.

I try to avoid it, but... I can't avoid all of them.

You guys, there are more than ten of you now!

I'm tired.

I just went to check on the river.

The children and mothers who went hunting seem to have returned.

...A giant cow and a giant frog.

The giant frogs that I haven't seen since it started getting cold.

Do they hibernate?

The dissection... the young demons are fully prepared.

Of course, I can't do anything.

The mothers look at me proudly.

I guess the child-rearing is going well?

Thank you for your hard work.

...This size, could the children have hunted it?

...No way, it must be different!

The prey they brought back was much smaller until recently.

The children.

Yeah, they look proud.

Haha, that's amazing.

You're working hard, be careful not to get hurt.

The baby squirrels are still babies.

I'm really relieved.
