Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

Chapter 559: Solving the food problem starts with restoring the land

Originally, no matter what, the rewards the four of them received from participating in the Gift Game for a week were not enough to make up even a single gold coin. The other serious problem was eating.

After all, besides them, there are 122 hungry children in the community.

In fact, as a full-time referee hired by Shiroyasha for the Gift Game held by Thousand Eyes, Black Rabbit can receive much higher compensation than they earn from participating in the Gift Game.

However, such a considerable income is still not enough to support the food expenses of so many people. Therefore, during the past three years, the children in the community have been hungry most of the time and are barely able to make ends meet.

Even on their first day in the small garden, the money that Ren used to treat the three girls to afternoon tea at the coffee shop was saved by the children of the Ku Yi Ku Community who had gone hungry for half a day.

After accidentally hearing about this incident, the three girls all felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Although they knew that [No Name] was already in decline and in great difficulty, they did not expect it to be this difficult.

It was not until this week that the four of them started participating in the Gift Game and the rewards they received were added to their food expenses that the children were able to have a full meal every day.

At the same time, the income they can save is naturally very little.

"..."

In short, this is indeed an issue that deserves serious attention.

Black Rabbit had no idea what he was thinking of, and raised his hand cautiously and suggested:

"Why not reduce the food expenses to the previous level? I think the children will understand. This way, the adults will be able to..."

“Aaaaa——?!”

"Okay, stupid rabbit, just shut up."

Kuon Asuka reached out and grabbed Black Rabbit's other rabbit ear, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"So Ritsuka, do you have any solution?"

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Let's go to the farmland area first."

……

On the way from the main building to the reservoir, in front of the main road next to it, there is a vast expanse of farmland and even pastures. However, due to the attack of the Demon King, it has now become a dry wasteland full of cracks.

The current [No Name] only has a small piece of farmland with various vegetables planted behind the main building. It was reclaimed by the children of the community in the past three years.

Looking at the core members of the community gathered in front of him, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"If we can revive the farmland area in front of us, we should be able to be self-sufficient in food, right?"

"Resurrect the farmland?"

Looking at the endless farmland in front of them and the smile on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Even Black Rabbit's ears were stretched straight because of being too surprised.

Ren swallowed hard, and said in disbelief:

"Ms. Ritsuka, can you do this kind of thing?"

Restoring the farmland area is actually one of the goals of his plan.

However, from what he learned from Black Rabbit, the gift games that can revive the land on a large scale are almost all very dangerous and are not something they can access now, so he did not bring up the topic immediately.

But now Fujimaru Ritsuka has taken the initiative to bring up this topic. Could it be that... ?

"Well, I guess it should be okay."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded, then took out a holy grail from his [Minister's Treasure].

Most of the time in the past, she only used the Holy Grail as a mobile power bank, but now, her abandoned hole has been transformed into an EX-level [Heaven's Hole], which can provide her with nearly unlimited magic power. It seems that there is no need to use the Holy Grail anymore.

However, in addition to being used as a mobile power bank, the Holy Grail also has the function of being able to [fulfill wishes]!

Although the Holy Grail in her hand cannot be called a true [universal wishing machine], the enormous magic power it possesses is enough to fulfill most wishes.

Even in the hands of a highly skilled magician, the Holy Grail can be used to single-handedly construct a large singularity, almost creating a world!

But...

Looking at the confused or curious eyes of the crowd, Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his cheek and smiled awkwardly:

"By the way, is there anyone who knows more about land?"

The only thing about this holy grail that is not very useful is that if you want to realize any wish, you must have the relevant knowledge.

She knows nothing about the situation of the land and doesn't know how to restore life to the land. Even if she uses the Holy Grail to make a wish to restore the land, there will probably be no response.

“Knowledge about the land…”

Although she didn't understand what Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to do, the answer to this question soon came to her. Leticia smiled and said:

"It just so happens that our community has a professional in this field. Please wait a moment, I will call her over."

Leticia left for a while, and soon she came in front of everyone with a short girl wearing an apron, with golden fox ears and two tails behind her.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and others were no strangers to this girl.

The other person's name was Lily. She was the leader of the "older group" who were one of the few people in the community who could do labor. They had come into contact with each other several times during this week and were considered to be quite familiar with each other.

Lily followed Leticia to Fujimaru Ritsuka, holding the edge of her apron with both hands, and asked nervously:

"Master Ritsuka, I heard that you are looking for someone who knows about land. What can I do for you?"

Leticia on the side smiled and introduced:

"Lily is a member of the fox family that has been in charge of farmland in our community for generations. Her ancestors were the white fox followers of the Uga no Mikami. When it comes to her understanding of the land, no one among us can compare to her."

Uga no Mikami, also known as Inari, is the god of grain and food in Japanese mythology, in charge of the harvest. Its relationship with farmland is self-evident.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, who heard about this for the first time, looked at Lily in surprise and said in amazement:

"I didn't expect that a little guy like you has such a big background!"

Kasukabe Yōya praised:

"Lily seems to be very powerful."

"Hey hey hey..."

Hearing the compliment, Lily scratched her head embarrassedly and smiled foolishly, looking very happy.

However, when she saw the large expanse of abandoned farmland in front of her, her eyes suddenly dimmed a bit, and she said in a depressed tone:

"It's a pity that my ability is completely unable to help you now..."

"Really? That's not necessarily the case."

"……Eh?"

Hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's smiling words, Lily looked up in surprise, only to see a huge golden wine glass occupying her entire field of vision.

"Get it."

“Ah?! …Yes!”

Lily staggered and held the Holy Grail with both hands. Her petite body made the already large Holy Grail look even larger.

Fujimaru Ritsuka squatted down to her eye level, then smiled and said:

"I'll teach you how to do it next."

“You need to imagine in your mind what it would take to make the land come alive again. The more specific the better.”

"Yes!"

Lily immediately closed her eyes, the fox ears on her head trembled slightly, and she looked very nervous.

"After thinking it over——"

"Just make a wish to the Holy Grail in your arms."
