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

A dream...

Been a while since I last had that one.

Master Hiraku!

Pardon me, I still haven't prepared anything for breakfast...

No, it's okay.

I just happened to get up early today.

Also,

I'd rather you stop calling me Master.

I see.

Village Chief.

Good morning!

Morning.

I let my guard down...

You've finally touched the kitchen...

I'll just burn the thing wholesale.

No, just spare the thing.

Oh?

You're up pretty early today, aren't you?

Somehow I just woke up.

Good morning!

What's up?

I had a bit of business with Gran Maria on my rounds.

A trouble?

Not at all, but we've been receiving reports about this...

Can I help you?

Well... You see...

I had this dream again last night after a while.

Dream?

Or maybe...

A memory from my past, I think.

Hey, wait up!

Really...

The me back then wouldn't have been able to imagine this.

For me to live a dreamlike, cozy life like this.

FARMING LIFE IN ANOTHER WORLD

Hiraku Machio...

I assume it's your name?

Yes.

Um, who are you?

I am the god who governs the world.

God?

So I finally died, huh.

Indeed you did.

According to this world's calendar, you've lived for 39 years.

Your life was nothing but too great hardships.

Betrayed by others, and collapsing from a terminal illness.

Hence, I mean to give you another chance for life.

You can do that?

But of course. I shall provide you with a healthy body free of any illnesses.

Truth be told, the reason you had to live such a cruel life...

...was partly a mistake of mine too.

Mistake?

Would you consider this an atonement for that?

I don't really get it, but sure.

While we're at it, do you have any request?

I shall have you live your new life the way you see fit.

The way I see fit...

I can fulfill most requests.

In that case... All right.

I want to try farming, Sir!

Farming?

When I was trapped in my bed in the hospital, I used to love watching this show on TV.

It was about an idol's farming experience!

I couldn't be so sociable in my previous life,

so I'd love to do some farming...

...in a place far from civilisation, peacefully...

Can't I?

Well, agriculture has a different jurisdiction...

Jurisdiction?

But I'll have a word with him.

Ah, hm, okay.

All right.

I shall bestow you with a new life and a healthy body.

And I have acquired the permission from the God of Farming,

so I shall bestow you with the "Omnipotent Farming Tool" power.

Omnipotent Farming Tool?

Well, then.

Enjoy your second life to the fullest now.

I can move my body...

Been a while since I moved my body.

Who knows how long I missed standing.

A healthy body really rocks!

All right, now that I'm back alive,

I'll live my second life here...

...doing what I longed for long, farming!

So this is the starting point?

GRASP THE CURRENT REALITY

A forest... As far as I can see, I'm surrounded with trees.

Sure, I did ask for a place away from civilisation,

but isn't this too far from it that people won't actually come here?

There's no point in lamenting it.

Let's think of what I can do for now.

My getup is just like one of those villagers in a game.

I think I somehow became young again too.

Is there anything I can use?

Oh, right! The Omnipotent Farming Tool...

This is it?

One, two!

Is this some kind of magical force?

I keep swinging, but I never get tired,

and it can plough through hard ground and tree roots without a care in the world.

The soil is so fluffy.

I could grow good vegetables if I planted a field with it.

Wait, I need to secure water and food first before that.

EXPLORE THE SURROUNDING AREA

Exploring the forest again.

I've been listening around for a river,

but all I can hear is the sound of leaves.

Let alone edible plants,

I can't even find a single grass.

Am I on the right difficulty?

Now that I think of it,

it's no surprise if I encounter a dangerous monster here.

I need to find a place where I can settle down, quick.

What a big tree...

It'll make for a good landmark, so I'll just set up a base here for now.

SECURE SOME MATERIALS

I wandered around a fair bit,

but looks like I couldn't find any river or pond nearby.

Then...

I'll just dig a well!

DOWSING - A METHOD OF FINDING HIDDEN UNDERGROUND OBJECTS BY THE MOVEMENT OF A STICK OR PENDULUM

It would seem reckless to search for water veins with these, I bet.

But this method has been used to find water pipes... or not.

I don't really get it.

Shovel!

This "Omnipotent Farming Tool" skill...

...really does take shape into all kinds of tools.

- By the way, I can't create complicated machines. - Excavator!

- By the way, I can't create complicated machines. - The big stuff!

As expected, I don't feel tired at all just like with the hoe!

I can dig forever until I find water like this!

I can't get out...

Fine, then!

I'll just dig in diagonally!

I dug a water source first try! What luck!

This may be thanks to the God.

Water secured, moving on to food now. However...

Surprisingly, I don't feel hungry at all.

Is this also the power of the Omnipotent Farming Tool?

It'll be dangerous to wander around the forest again too.

Scythe!

I should keep using my Omnipotent Farming Tool here while building a proper base.

I hope I can find something edible along the way too...

Well, couldn't find anything.

I'll be cultivating a field here soon,

and this tree will get in the way, I guess.

It looks so sturdy,

but I guess my axe can chop it down.

I think I should make a cut to one side,

and then another on the other side, huh?

Sweet!

All right, let's start from this side first.

Huh?

In a single slash, huh? This skill does live up to its name.

Hatchet!

Now that I've chopped it down, let's try processing it.

Strip off the branches, cut the trees into logs, and peel the bark off.

The hard wood cuts through like cheese with this.

By the way, about this hook thing that I'm using to drag the log.

I don't know the name,

but as long as I can picture it, the Omnipotent Farming Tool can transform into it.

I could make some timber to some extent.

In the sandbox game I used to play, now should be the time to build a hut,

but I couldn't just make the parts for the walls and roof with a snap.

I don't even have any nails nor adhesives.

Is it actually that hard to build a hut from scratch?

Ah... The shadow coming from the pillar I built...

It's just like a clock.

Oh, shoot! I was too absorbed in this, I lost track of time!

At this rate, the sun will set! And then what happens?!

It'll get dark! I need to find a source of light!

Flashlight! Lamp!

No dice, huh? I'll just start a fire, then!
