An A-Ranked Adventurer’s - Chapter 29

The Farming Life

From that point on, I was living the life of a hunter while also spending my days on field work.

I was plowing the soil, spreading fertilizer, planting seeds and watering them. At first, it was very busy.

Ohh, they sprouted!

When I exited my house in the morning to check up on the field, I spotted some small, green spots.

I rushed over in a hurry, and there I saw small seedlings that suddenly popped up from the soil.

I did not mind getting soil on my knees as I kneeled down to take a closer look at the seedlings that were poking out. There were just small buds a few centimeters long, but they were definitely there.

It meant so much to me to see the sprouts of life that I created myself. They really were growing up.

They were just the sprouts of plain radishes growing out of the soil, but they were strangely adorable.

I was a bit skeptical when I heard that it only takes around twenty or so days before they can be harvested, but if it only took two days for them to sprout, then it sounds about right. They will surely grow big very quickly at this rate.

I had nothing special to do outside that day, but I still came out of my house many times to take a look at the sprouts of the radishes.

Then, three days later, the sprouts of the radishes got even bigger.

Lets start thinning[i] them out

I started to feel sad after hearing Flora say that I have to start thinning them out.

If we dont do that, the radishes wont grow well.

I understand the concept, but to put an end to the sprouts that I grew myself for the first time Its hard for me to get rid of them so early.

Flora seemed to understand what Im feeling because shes been there before. She lightly patted my back with a *pon* *pon* after three minutes and said to me with a smile, Now then, go on.

Her smile looked like a demons for a second, but its understandable since shes been doing field work for so long she would have already thinned them out.

There was nothing much I could do since the other sprouts will have no hope if I dont pull these ones out. I pulled them out as I told myself that.

I endured as I pulled out the sprouts that I dearly loved. It was the first time my heart got split in half even though it was just a plant that I pulled out.

After I cleared the area to a certain extent, the number of radish sprouts were reduced quite a bit.

Flora told me that the sprouts can be eaten, so that day we ate them together as a salad along with some grilled meat.

A week after we planted the seeds, the other vegetables sprouts all quickly appeared.

I took care of the field before I left for the mountains, and took care of the field again after I came back from the mountains. I was fine when there were only radishes, but now the workload has quadrupled and things have gotten quite busy around here.

Needless to say, their growth speed, classification, and things to watch for are all different so I have to be careful with each and every one of them. Its quite a big deal.

Even though I think that Aisha and Ena are amazing people for being able to manage that big vineyard, they only grow one type of crop there. I dont even understand why Aisha thinks that its such a hassle.
