Farming Life in Another World (異世界のんびり農家)

Greetings. Welcome, newcomers.

I'm Lastismoon.

I handle diplomatic relations.

- And my name is Flowrem.

- Let us show you around the village.

As you can see, our amazing fields run from here

all the way to the far end.

- Much too expansive to show you around all of it.

Oh! Tomatoes here!

Um, I mean, hello. I'm Sena and... look, tomatoes!

I'm Donovan, the elder dwarf.

We produce the alcohol for the village.

I'm Ya, the Mountain Elf.

We're great at crafting things.

- Ready? - Yeah.

You've done well to reach us.

Now you can rest at ease.

- That seems a bit overboard.

But first impressions are key.

- Maybe for visitors coming in from somewhere afar.

- True, but this is for new residents.

- There's no need to be so stiff day after day.

I suppose not.

- Nice and friendly should do it, I think.

So let's wrap this thing up.

How about some closing words?

Oh, you mean from me?

Who else?

- Once again, everyone.

I'm Mayor Hiraku.

Welcome to The Village!

Yeah!

- I wanted to live a peaceful farming life.

With some divine intervention,

I got the farm life I wanted in an alternate world.

I made so many new friends.

And now I'm the mayor of the Great Tree Village,

a place we all built together.

Here you go.

- Now if you're wondering...

Oh, thank you.

- ...the reason our village

is a bit more active today.

We need places to live.

So many people.

Plus refugees.

- ...is because we were expecting a great number

of new residents.

With that many, we might need a whole other village

to accommodate them all.

Then why not make one?

A brand new village for all of the new residents.

- I'll scout out a new location.

I wonder where is best?

And just like that...

Tree choppin' time!

...the whole village was set to work.

- We need lots of preserved food.

Then let the hunt begin.

- We got so excited we even began practicing.

I need more smiles!

- Maybe we should relax things a bit?

These are grapes!

Oh, this is new.

- Made with ingredients that spoil quickly

so we can focus our efforts

on increasing our supply of preserves.

- That explains all the vegetables then.

- Hmm. - And I think we should treat

the girls to the same thing.

- Good thinking. This is perfect for eating on the job.

I'll bring it to them myself.

Thank you.

- Flow did mention being extra busy.

- This is impossible.

There's no way.

- My ghost will haunt this place.

- I brought you all some lunch.

- Ah! Well, we're a little busy right now.

A little?

- It's nearly impossible to keep track

of food and material stores.

- Having a lot is good though, right?

- Okay, now a lot plus more equals a whole bunch,

which means...

That takes care of that.

What have you done?

- Don't worry. Flow is bringing in more help, right?

I'm sorry for the wait,

but help from the demons has arrived.

- We were told we'd aid Lady Flowrem.

- That it would advance our social standing.

That the work was simple enough for anyone to do.

Let's get right to it, then.

We'll start by organizing our records into categories.

All you can apples?

The limitless pet-pets.

Are you from House Puugal?

I heard you were missing after being attacked by a lamia.

Huh?

- I'm surprised to see you alive.

- Seems like we should be able to handle

all of our paperwork now.

- Share this with them once things settle.

Wow. Thank you.

Sir!

I finished searching the entire area...

and have found no sign of danger.

Hmm?

I sent her to check it out.

I think we should go see the potential spot

for the new village.

Oh, that's a great idea.

- Should we make preparations?

Meals for the road?

It's not that far off.

The location we're considering will be downstream

so that we might retain the upper hand.

Upper hand?

To ensure our safety,

it will be on the far side of the river.

But stand some distance from the river

so the village does not seize control of it.

What are you talking about?

Rebellion.

- You're assuming that will happen.

- We must at least be prepared for as much.

It will be too late once it does.

Fair point.

- It's not quite as great as ours,

but the area has its own standout tree.

- Mm-hmm. Easy enough to spot.

Once we had a location,

we set about clearing the forest to make a road.

Now then... begin.

Here goes!

Take this!

- This isn't working. We're a little short on power.

- That thing's tougher than steel.

- Could you possibly do your usual?

Mm-hmm. Ax!

Wonton noodles!

Success!

Oh!

Dandan noodles!

Champon noodles! Noodles! Noodles!

It was easy work with my almighty farming tool.

Then we set up a wooden bridge across the river.

Shouldn't we build something that's a bit sturdier?

- But if we make the crossing too big,

...large monsters might make use of it.

Good point.

After that,

we cleared out the area for the new village.

And, uh, mapo noodles!

And then we built irrigation ducts.

Impressive progress.

And in such a short amount of time.

Without enough lumber,

we wouldn't be able to get half as much done around here.

- Please get some rest because you deserve it.

We'll handle the construction from here.

Sure. Sounds good.

All done!

A monument to Zabuton.

Maybe I should have made it bigger.

You know...

I was told you were resting up.

I am. Sort of.

- Papa sure loves work. Oh, yes, he does, little one.

Okay, I'll take a break.

Looks okay.

- Things are moving right along.

Yeah. Looks to be.

I had wondered why you were preparing so much lumber.

- We have plenty of houses to build, after all.

I got all the lumber our plans called for prepped.

And had everyone else break into teams to get them put up.

It was hard work building things for myself back in the day.

Didn't even have nails back then.

- Remember that little shack at the beginning?

- Yeah, I remember how hard it was

having to lift all that wood.

- Wait. - Hmm?

- This is wrong. - That goes here.

Oh, you're right.

Ah! Are you okay?
