Chapter 87

No matter how I think about it, there's no use for a rock.

I'm stumped.

I remembered a famous robot's pocket.

No matter how much you put in, it never fills up.

A pocket that never overflows no matter how many tools you put in.

...Could the rock fit in there?

The rock problem was easily solved.

I can take it out when needed.

Everyone was surprised, but I was probably the most surprised.

The bag is so capable, it's scary.

The agricultural team is planting something new.

This time, they won't use the entire area; it will be on a small scale.

I hope they do well.

...

The heat has passed.

It's getting a bit cooler.

I think I'll go to that place.

The place I found when I expanded the barrier.

When I looked from above, something familiar caught my eye.

I want to confirm what it is.

Maybe I can get a staple food there.

The location... I forgot.

Darn, I couldn't figure it out because I didn't see it from the house.

I'll check from above again.

It might be farther than I thought.

But there's something that intrigues me.

I have to go.

My companions are Hio, Shion, Chaya, and Sasa, and maybe the baby spiders and baby ants too?

Thanks.

I'll put some water and food in the bag, just in case.

If something happens.

It's quite a distance to run.

I wish I could fly, but I can't, so I'll have to try hard.

Haha, I really didn't make it in one day.

I'm glad I brought food, just in case.

Communication... apparently the baby spiders will go.

Will it be okay?

I'm worried, but thank you.

I see some monsters that I've eaten before.

There are still... different monsters in the forest.

If there are monsters, I need to find a safe place to sleep.

I found a small cave.

I set up a barrier to hide my presence and had Shion check it.

It seems fine. We'll take turns sleeping and move again in the morning.

I'm sorry to trouble you.

...

I've arrived.

It took a day and a half.

It's so far away.

I couldn't gauge the distance from above.

But it was worth coming.

In front of me are wheat stalks... probably.

The ears are much larger than the wheat I know.

They are a beautiful golden brown and drooping, so it's probably the right time to harvest.

I used magic to pluck one ear and rubbed it by hand to thresh it.

I used magic to turn it into flour and tasted it.

I can't stop grinning.

The flavor is better than the wheat I know, and it's also sweet and delicious.

I'm grateful that there's wheat in this world.

Let's harvest it.

Harvest... oh, I'm alone... it's impossible.

No, I won't give up!

If I want the ears, I can cut the stems below with magic.

I used wind magic to "cut" the base of the standing wheat and "stabilize" it so it doesn't fall.

I harvested the wheat floating in the air one by one.

The entire field of wheat disappeared.

A little break.

When I was about to leave, Hio got in the way.

?

After making eye contact, he twisted his neck and showed his back.

...Could I ride on him?

He lay down, so I tried to get on.

Oh, the view is high... too high.

I see, Hio and Shion can fly.

Chaya and Sasa are... flying too.

Can they fly?

Chaya and Sasa seem a bit scared.

I remember the scene of trees flying.

Chaya and the others are flying with Hio or Shion's magic.

Ha, that's scary, I'm actually quite scared too.

The baby spiders and baby ants are apparently fine and will return on the ground.

Will they be okay?

I'm worried.

I'm also worried about falling, so I held onto his neck.

It took only a few hours to return home in a day and a half.

Flying through the sky is amazing.

The speed is so fast that the only impression I have is fear.

On the way, I met a floating lizard, Karen.

When I got home, Coa and Chai were all there.

I seem to have worried them.

I'll be more careful.

The baby spiders and baby ants returned safely, having hunted a creepy snake.

They're probably asking for fried chicken, so I'll work on it.
