The Time When Me And My Family Went To Other World

Chapter 16 - How to farm for d...

After washing off my sweat with some water from the magical faucet and changing my clothes, I am ready to go pick up my wife for our lunch together, yes!

I went towards Mr. Guido's Atelier, after just a little bit of time walking, I arrived at the front door, I go inside, ringing the bell warning of visitors, and kept walking towards the back door, after the balcony.

"Hello? May I come in?" I asked towards the door.

"Yes, honey, we are just behind the door." answered a voice I know really well.

I kept walking towards the door in the back and opened it, what greets me is a posing Me. Guido like one of those bodybuilder with only pants on, but instead of muscles in his body all I could see was a flame wreathing body, it was quite weird, if it was anybody else I would be trying to douse it, but since he is a Flame Elemental, it just irked me really hard to not do so.

"Gahahahahhahaha, see? I told you Master Guido, he would let flinch at first sight of you!" she kept flaying her arms around because her dumb prank "His face is a must see when he is like that."

"Yeah, right. You keep doing that, you little prankster. But why in the name of God... Gods... would you do that with this almost n.a.k.e.d, Mr. Guido?" I asked surprised to see him like that.

"Every good seamstress needs to know how to take measurements, right?" she said "And since Mr. Guido is made of flames, he can change the shape of his body, thankfully it doesn't hurt to measure him."

"That's neat, huh..." I said in awe of the capability of a Flame Elemental, it makes it so surreal that it irked me deeply "Please, just don't do it again, I thought he was burning and needed to be doused to prevent further injury."

"Sweetie there is no water that can douse the flames of passion! Your wife already has some skills in Tailoring from before, she just need to take some other more professional advice from me and the rest will depend on her passion for the craft." said Mr. Guido quite pleased.

"Then let's go have some lunch now" I said towards her.

"Yes! Mr. Guido let me use his kitchen earlier and I made lunch for the three of us." she said excited and hopping towards the kitchen, Mr. Guido waved for me to follow them, we would be having lunch in the kitchen, since most of the space was dedicated towards the Atelier, Mr. Guido was quite frugal in terms of his living.

All three of us sat at the table and the three puppies were under the table asking for leftovers, are they farm dogs? Oh yes, they are!

After my wife gave almost half of her plate to the puppies, made me fill her plate again for seconds and gave half of it to those cuties.

After deciding the name of these three dogs would be the female, Onyx, cause she is a precious gem, my wife liked that one, she didn't knew what a onyx was, she thought it only existed in a anime TV show, the gray male was Cloud, because he looks like a fluffy one and finally Vent, cause he made me remember the blackest black that scientist found when we still were in the other world, after that I left her to her teacher for the afternoon lesson.

Since Elder Kavko and Brontus talked about produce, I went to their house to ask if there was any books explaining how farming works in this world or if there were any seeds to work with and figure out, since I already cleaned a whole lot of land and I think it was enough to start.

I arrived at their door and started to knock on it. After a little bit Elder Brontus came and let me in. This time we went into other room that wasn't the City Hall main hallway, it was a small living room with some chairs and a table. There was some tea ready and Elder Kavko was there.

"Hello, good afternoon" I said towards them "It is really nice to see Elders again."

"Hello, child, it's nice too see you today. Have you adapted to your new lifestyles, you and your wife, I mean." she asked in a pleasing tone, she must be in a good mood.

"Well, not really yet, but we are definitely trying, at least we are not as uncomfortable with the situation as we thought." I answered seriously to her "But it still is very much different from our common sense this place, look I even got a Companion Beast!" I showed her the little Onyx "Isn't she a cutie? At least I saved them from not even being born, it was really despairing the situation it happened." And then I told them about the situation I was with Ti'oh training and the panicking I made after noticing the pregnancy in the wolf that mutated because of the Mana in the forest.

"Well, kid, that happens a lot, you aren't to blame for trying to survive, you did what you think as right and even saved some lives, so just take care of them, since they should be part of your family now." Elder Brontus said while nodding towards my actions from the tale "Now you must have some reason to come here right after lunch, so what brings you to our humble abode?" he asked now quite curious.

"Since I think there is no one with farming experience here, I would like to ask permission to borrow I book with any kind of information on farming possible." I asked "Since this world is different from mine, probably the way things grow here is different as well."

"You are indeed correct young one, while most things you perceive as the same, but as matter of fact, they aren't. Very insightful of you to ask of us, so there is one book here for you, right in this room, actually." He went towards the corner of the room, which had a bookcase that I didn't notice beforehand. "Here is it." He took a white and indigo book with the title "For Dumdums: How to farm" the author took inspiration from quite the series of books, that's for sure.

"This one has been here since the merchant caravan went by in the last month, we traded since I thought to take the job upon me, but many things happened and there you can have it, just return it when done." he said while handing the book in my direction "We have some magical seeds in the city storage, so just take some with you"

"If you can please plant some sweet ones!" said Elder Kavko with gleaming eyes, now I understand why Elder Brontus had it, probably from the nagging.

"Consider it done!" I said smiling while thinking what a good husband he is, doing things he hates for his wife, since he gave me that book quite willingly without any strings attached, just return after done. He must really hate farming for it to be sitting a whole month on his shelf.

"So where do I find the seeds to start?" I said while looking towards Elder Kavko.

"Well, child, follow me." she said while humming all the way in the back towards what looked like the kitchen in the house, in there was a big shelf that had a bunch of bags full to the brim with seeds, twenty kilograms size bags of bean, rice, potato seeds, coffee and many other seeds, she took two of the smallest ones on the top, they were the size of a five kilograms bag.

"These are some fertile seeds we brought from the same merchant, it was really cheap since it wasn't sold for quite a while." she told me and threw towards me both bags, for some reason the impact wasn't as heavy as I thought, probably got stronger from training with Ti'oh "Don't forget to read about the farming, if possible start today, these seeds are the easiest according to that book." she said while humming back to the room we were in.

"So, you got all you wanted?" Elder Brontus asked.

"For farming, yes, but I would like to ask if there are any books in the basics of magic, so both me and my wife can practice after tomorrow" I said curious about the existence of such wonderful phenomena that is magic "How to manipulate Mana and cast Spells for example"

"Well, I have one that is more of an introduction to such themes, since we live in a place far away from scholars who study magic." said Elder Brontus. He got up and picked the book which had some pages, it wasn't small or big, medium sized, but I didn't know the size of the parchment used, so couldn't say if it was big or small "This one is kind of a special book which reacts to your potential to learn the spells, not the level in which your potential for magic is, it measures your comprehension of Mana itself as an entity, which varies by individual even if they have a really good teacher." he said, which was a weird concept for a book, so I looked at him with a raised eyebrow and he laughed "Just try it and you shall understand what I mean, it is a magical book after all and I am not the best teacher for such thing." se said kind of depressed.

I was surprised, magic is locked for those with low comprehension of what Mana is, but what about the Spell on my heart, the Companion Pact Spell. I voiced my doubts.

"Well, Professions have to do with understanding the Mana in certain ways as well, since at higher tiers all Professions deal with Mana somehow, even the Farmer one, so there are Spells that are locked towards those with such Professions, that pact one is a low tiered one since it doesn't bind what the parties will is, they have to both be willing and that is why you could learn it at such low level of Farmer." said Elder Kavko, she looks like the one who likes magic more, seeing she is some kind of Draconoid, which makes more sense.

"Wow, that is amazing, Elder Kavko is really knowledgeable." I said excited.

After this I left their house, Elder Kavko was in really high spirits and waved a lot after I left.

Onyx was following me all the time and we left towards home after that brief chat.

I went back carrying both bags on my back with a string and held one book under my arm and another one open in my free right hand.

It was the farming one, it basically said that the basics were to check the ground if it was deep brown or yellow which meant rich Mana ground, after that open some patches while keeping a solid meter of space between the holes to drop the seeds and water once with enough to make the ground wet everyday for some reason, never heard of anything like this before.

The advanced stuff said to infuse Mana or powdered Mana Crystal in case of a more specific special plant and that some plants only grew on some seasons, some easier kind grew the whole year round, which were the both I was holding and that was it, about harvest it just told to pick everything and it was done, like the whole plant since it would wither after some time that the harvest was enough, I think it has some kind of accelerated ageing the plants here. All right seems quite simple in comparison to the smithing and I still have no clue about where to find anything about Physicians.

After I got back I cleaned the remaining twenty something trees in three hours since I got the hang of it, which Ms. Agnes happily took away, and dug some holes and watered everything with the bucket till the ground became wet, I made about 500 holes in two hours, since that was all I had of seeds. There still was a lot of empty space, aside from the big wide rock in the middle.

Feeling exhausted from such hard work, I took a shower and went to the Church to get a little glimpse of my progress, since I was curious about getting the Lumberjack. I also didn't forget to add the hole on the door for the puppies too.

I went inside and pray by the altar.

What I got was...
