The day after finishing my first job at the Timer Association, I enjoyed a leisurely Tuesday at home. However, I kept getting casual messages from Kichi-san. Probably sent during breaks between her classes. As I replied to her, I spent time reading my grandfather's book and searching for good jobs on the Timer Association's app. Yamada: "It lists the danger level, but I don't quite get it. Kyouka: "It's an estimate based on the demon's magical power and experiential data. Yamada: "Hmm. Yeah, I don't get it. Kyouka: "Then, how about Yuusei-kun and I decide together? That would be a good idea. They're experienced, and from talking to them yesterday, they seem trustworthy. It would probably be okay to leave it to them. Yamada: Please, take care of it. Kyouka: Roger that! Yuusei: Yo! Yamada: Thanks. After sending my response, the unread messages stopped coming in. Class must have started. I kept exchanging messages with Kichi-san and continued reading my book. The next day, I decided to check on the apple seedlings I had planted in front of my house in the other world. We passed through that familiar door, left the laboratory, and checked on the apple saplings we had planted the day before yesterday. "Saplings?" "More like trees, meow" "That fertilizer is impressive, isn't it..." The once tiny and fragile saplings had grown significantly and had turned into normal-sized trees. "It doesn't seem like they've started bearing fruit yet, though..." "But the flowers are in bloom, right?" They certainly were blooming. "I wonder if they'll bear fruit on their own?" "It looks like they need to be pollinated." Ruri informs us while consulting her tablet. She has books on the subject downloaded. "How do we do that?" "Well, it's a bit troublesome. If we're going to start an apple orchard, we'll need to teach these techniques to the villagers." "We might need to make some adjustments on that point..." Maybe it's time to discuss this with Monica and the village chief. "Well, at least we've confirmed that the super fertilizer works on apple trees, that's good enough for now." "Yeah, that's true. Let's head back." Upon returning to the living room, we decided to discuss what to do next. And since there was nothing specific to do from that day on, I spent my time studying magic and contemplating the village's development plans. During that time, I kept exchanging casual messages with Kichi-san, and, to my surprise, even Ichinose-kun would sometimes send messages like, "Work is so draining... As I led this comfortable life, all the agricultural tools and fertilizers I ordered finally arrived on Friday. "Wow, that's a serious amount." At the entrance, there are 10 sets of farming tools and 10 sets of 10 kilograms of fertilizer, totaling 100 kilograms. "Put it away with spatial magic already, meow. It stinks, meow." "Indeed..." Using spatial magic, I stored the farming tools and fertilizer. "Let's convert the fertilizer into super fertilizer before we take it with us."

"Good idea. Ruri, can you get the trash bags?" "Sure." With Ruri bringing the trash bags, we made our way to the lab. There, using the rice cooker as usual, we began transforming the fertilizer into super fertilizer. "Call me when you're done, meow. The smell is too much for a cat, meow." , said Miriam and quickly returned home, but Ruri and I methodically converted the fertilizer into super fertilizer and packed it into the trash bags. "This is the last one." "Yes." I converted the final batch of fertilizer into super fertilizer. After packing it into the trash bags, I stored it away with spatial magic. "Haaa... That was exhausting." "Good job." "Ruri, you've had a tough time too. Could you go get Miriam for me? I'm going to open the window." "Understood." After Ruri went back inside the house, I opened the window. A breath of fresh air came in, which felt really nice. "It still stinks, meow. Let's get out of here quickly, meow." I heard Miriam's voice as soon as Ruri returned, carrying Miriam in her arms. "Cats have it tough." "You sure are correct, meow." Having finished our preparations, we left the house. That's when I noticed the apple tree had grown even more. Not only that, but they were also laden with red apples. "Ah, apples!" "You're right, meow! Gotta munch, meow! I want to eat them, meow!" Miriam's excitement peaked while she was still in Ruri's arms; she leaped down and landed. Then, she skillfully climbed up an apple tree. "So they really do bear fruit just like that..." I murmured to myself as I plucked an apple that Miriam closely eyed. I then handed it to her and she held it. Miriam took the apple in her front paws and began to nibble on it. "Sweet, meow! Apples, meow!" Hmm... Upon Miriam's advice, I grabbed another apple, sliced it in half with an air cutter, handed one half to Ruri, and tasted the other half myself. "Delicious!" "Incredible... This apple is even sweeter and tastier than the ones you buy in stores, right?" It really seems that way. "This would definitely sell in the other world." "I agree. But, it's meant more for this village than that world." Naturally, that's the case. Having enough for our own enjoyment is what matters. After picking a couple more apples, I lead Miriam, who is fervently munching on an apple, along with Ruri, to the village chief's house. When we reach the village and enter the chief's home, we find the village chief and Monica deep in conversation. As we come in, Monica notices us and stands up. She flashes a smile at me and greets us with a graceful bow. "We have been awaiting your arrival. Please, take a seat." She's changed again. She's starting to act like a proficient secretary... She might as well be wearing glasses at this point...
