The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

When I woke up, it was a crystal island.

It's a dragon bed. There was a blanket in the crystal shaped bed, and I was sleeping there.

There was a tube fox and a phoenix in the bed, and a bird stood relaxed next to the bed. When I tried to get up a little bit, the dragon came quickly and put me back to bed.... no, I don't have to do that, but maybe it's hard for me to get up on my own and get out of bed...

... yeah.

"Um... how long have I been asleep this time?"

I'll ask, but the dragon, the tube fox, the phoenix, and the bird won't answer, so I don't know.

Crystal islands are cool in summer and warm in winter, making it difficult to read seasons from the temperatures you feel. Uh, but I don't think it's been that long.

"Um, hey, if Faye or Laocles were here, I'd like you to call me..."

When I told the phoenix that, the phoenix nodded a little and flew away. Thank you very much.

... and I'll be waiting for someone to arrive in bed with a blanket on.

A little later, Laocles flew in with Alicorn. Wow, I'm used to being out of magic like this, and I'm a little stunned. However, I am a little sorry because my face feels relieved while looking stunned.

"Um, Laocles. Good morning, I did it."

"Oh, I know."

When I reported it quickly, Laocles laughed at me.... I see. Well, while I'm asleep, I'll check the gate.

"Is the gate working? Are you okay? I fell asleep without checking carefully...."

"Well, there's no particular problem. I tried using it, but I was able to use it without any trouble. Of course, I'm surprised."

Yeah. The farmers, they looked so surprised. I'm sorry I surprised you.

"... but thanks to the gate, Faye said the circulation of Red Gard territory has been greatly improved. Let me know when the corn wakes up."

... I see. If it helps, I'm glad. My face is unexpectedly relaxed.

"And the number of days you've been out of magic."

Looking at me with a loose face, Laocles laughs bitterly and announces the results.

And the result is....

"Two months."

... wow.

"... good morning, it wasn't me. It was almost like that."

I see. Looks like it. "

Yes, thank you very much...

"Um... what happened in the last two months?

When I heard it with a little nervousness, Laocles thought for a moment... and then broke his finger and told me.

"First of all, there was a gate."

"Yeah."

I know that because I made it.

"With that, the surroundings surprised me."

"Yeah."

I can imagine that.

"... the ancient magical gates that were born suddenly became a topic of discussion."

... well, I imagined that. Mm-hmm.

"A royal servant came to inspect. It just seems like I don't know how it works. It was like I was just watching and going home."

"I wonder if Faye and the others were all right."

"Ah, because Fei and the others are penetrating 'The Spirit did it'."

Yeah, that's right. The Spirit is just doing it on its own.

"Then a royal servant came, just after he left...."

... yeah.

"This has begun to flourish as a tourist destination."

... hmm?

"This is the tourist destination...?

"... outside the woods, of course."

Oh, oh, yeah. I was surprised. I was a little anxious to think that people were coming to this crystal island...

"Nobody's going to get in the woods in the first place. The gates are only connected to each other. The only way to get into the woods is to go beyond the walls or destroy the building in the middle of the gate." I see. Looking at the forest in my head, I'm glad nobody broke into the forest after all.

"... and became a tourist destination..."

"Ah... the walls that suddenly formed around the woods, this time the ancient magical gates suddenly appeared, gathering the attention of scholars. Then it's a sanctuary of spiritual faith. Here."

... spiritual faith? Well, that's... um, I'm a spirit... but do I believe in you?

"A sudden freak in the Spirit Forest. Naturally, it is rumored that it is the work of the Spirit. For those who believe in spirits, there is no reason not to go to see the manifestation of the power of spirits once in a lifetime."

No, the gates and the walls are definitely my fault. But then, faith... I can't believe it.

Laocles was laughing a little again when he was feeling unbearable. It's not funny. I'm a little uncomfortable because I believe in boulders.

"Well, that's how more people come to see things from the neighborhood. When people came together, there were more of them... even the Redgards didn't seem to have come near this forest at first, but now the free folk are all coming to see the forest."

... yeah. Again, I'm glad we didn't have to do this in stages. You should be able to collect your gaze at once. I'm sure it'll be okay if you keep it a little quiet. But... um, the sightseeing spot was a little unexpected.

"When people come together, commerce develops. A stall shop is starting to open for spectators."

Street food. Street food. Looks like a festival. No, actually, it may be a festival...

"And now Faye is giving you permission to open a stall."

Is that okay? I guess I'm Fei's substitute. Isn't it strange that Faye is representing me?

"Well, when it comes to what happened in the last two months, is that so? Anything else?

Laocles always says that this is the end of the explanation.... no, I have a lot to worry about, but I think this is the first thing I have to say.

"... um, I've been asleep for two months, but are you sure the woods are okay? And you're bothering everybody. I'm sorry."

I don't know how to say it, but I don't think it's much to say, so I say it.

Laocles smiled funny.

"Don't worry about the forest. It's not a nuisance, but I don't have the trouble sleeping with you all the time. I'd rather be relaxed."

I don't know if I'm serious or not, so as for me, should I be relieved, angry or embarrassed... hmm?

"... well, don't worry. I'm enjoying it out of the box. Faye looks alive, too. In fact, the gates are useful. Quickly, it appears that traffic within the Redgard realm is beginning to pass through the woods.... nothing has happened that worries you."

"... yeah"

I'm sorry, but I'm a little happy to hear that it's useful. I hope that the people who have been traveling far away from the forest will be able to relax a little.

"I just can't settle down without you.... get back in shape."

"Yeah."

I'm sorry, let's get well. Let's get well and get back to work. I'm glad it helps a lot. It's also fun to see how things are changing around this forest. And there's so much I want to draw!

That's why I started rehab.

... but anyway, my body, which has been asleep for two months, didn't really move... it was a little hard to get up.

It seems that the cause of the malaise is not just because it has not been moving for a long time, but also because of some lack of magic.

So, every day, the dragon made me drink the nuts of the tree. And I was playing with my stomach, hopefully because I couldn't move. [M] Left to the edge, or suddenly filled up when nothing happened.... I wonder what he thinks of someone else's bladder...

For a while, I had to live on a diet of dragon nuts, sometimes bamboo nuts, and water from the lake. Somehow... they didn't let me eat human food.

After rehab, I drew bread and tried to eat it, but as soon as the bread came out, the bird flew in and scratched the bread. I thought it couldn't be helped, but when I drew another one, I was scratched again.... so I just served a bird snack. The birds are full and jiang-jing is such a little hate...

If I lived like this, I could walk in about a week, and in about two weeks I returned to my original body. I think I could have returned in two weeks because I was under house arrest on Crystal Island. I don't suppose I've been poured with magic and recovered at this speed... I can't complain to a mean dragon or a little hatred bird. Yeah, I can't help it.

"I'm home."

After three and a half months, the house has calmed down somehow... after all. Especially when I see Claire and Lyla cooking while they're talking, Ange playing with fairies, and Lian teaching Laocles letters, I feel like, oh, you're back.

"Ah, welcome back!

As soon as Claire saw me, she rushed to the little run and hugged me.... no, it's soft! Calm down!

"Damn it! Really, you're... okay! I was worried, but I'm enjoying it, so don't complain!

"Yes, thank you."

When Crowe let me go, he turned to Laocles.

"Hey, Corn, why don't you let him eat something normal?

"I guess. You should only give a small amount of something good for digestion.... apparently, they were eating as spirits."

Yeah. It was dragon nuts, bamboo nuts and water.... when I think about it, it's amazing that I wasn't hungry even though I only ate that. I wonder if it's because of the magic. Or am I the Spirit...? I'm a little scared if it's my own change. [M]

"I see. I wonder if a softly boiled soup is okay.... let's make it milk congee."

"Um, I'd like to eat the one with the ham and cheese in the bread."

"I'll see you later. Because right now, you're really human or spirit-like. Let's go back to humans one by one."

... what kind of atmosphere is that? Does it mean that if you don't eat food, you won't be human?

Oh, you think I'm losing weight?... I don't have many of them. I'm a little shocked.

After all, it wasn't until three days later that I could eat ham and cheese bread. Until then, it was stubborn, porridge and soup.

... but this porridge was delicious. He boiled roughly ground wheat and made it soft, but I think it was quite delicious and fortunate. One more thing, I'm glad to see that my favorite food has grown.

And when I get back from my porridge and soup life a little bit... Edamame!

Edamame is now offered!

I'm so glad! Very happy! I love Edamame. [M] I really like eating salt-boiled people with barley tea that is too thick, so I like it very much in summer. I prefer cold to hot, but I like summer because I have Edamame and Tomato.

"I'm so happy, Edamame...."

The birds also liked Edamame, and while eating the edamame that was peeling off on paper with me, they were looking a bit satisfied. An Edamame buddy is here. I'm glad to hear that.

Two days after I was able to eat Edamame.

I went to see the farmers, and when I tried to help the fields there... they stopped me in a hurry. It doesn't seem to be my job. Uh, well, I'm sorry. This isn't something that amateurs can touch...

... and I heard that today's offering was supposed to be steamed potatoes, not edamame beans, so I missed it a little. No, I also like potatoes, but I love Edamame beans.

However, the farmers who were looking at me were saying, "Spirit-like offerings are better than potatoes. I was told," I think the potato is good, but the edamame is good. "I am very happy that the Edamame beans will be served. Edamame!

Then, when I asked the farmers how the gate was, they said a lot to me with excitement, "It's incredibly convenient."

In this field, the crops are already being harvested, so we need to take them somewhere to sell them. From here, the town of Redgard is close, but the gates in the woods made it possible to sell it to the southern town. After all, it seems like it would be very helpful if you could come to buy crops from the southern town.

Also, it seems that people came purely and this forest village became a little more convenient. With better transportation, it seems that pedestrians traveling to and from Redgard territory passed through the village of the forest and were able to buy daily necessities. He also told me that he looked forward to eating food in the stalls for tourists.

I was relieved to hear all about it. I was a little worried that they might be burdened by the sudden creation of the gate.

But the gate seems to be accepted... yeah. That's good.

The farmers were preparing lunch for the day, so I was helping with the edamame. I was at my teacher's house, so I'm more confident that I can handle Edamame beans faster than those people. However, it seems that people in this world don't cut off the ends of the sheath when they boil edamame beans in the first place... and apparently, people in this world are boiling beans out of the sheath before boiling, so I'm trying to preach my world style because it's a corner.

... when I was treating a pot of Edamame like that, boiling it, and eating it with the farmers.

"Hey! Go!

Fay flew in with a red dragon.

"Can you read this for me?

Faye brought me the paperwork. Read each piece of paper handed over.

... it's a request for permission to open a store, addressed to the Red Gard family.

"So, there are people from the town of Redgard who want to open up a little bit here, okay? It's not a stall, it's a shop."

"Anyone who thinks Faye's good, he's good."

The shop? That means this village is finally becoming like a village.... I'm a little excited.

"Oops, I think I can verify my identity, and that's not a problem. Is it okay for the woods to be crowded?

"Yeah, because if it gets loud, we'll put soundproofing on the walls."

... but even in its current state, it's quite soundproof. Although the walls are thick, it seems that the wildflowers and strawberries that crawled outside the walls have become silencers. It's also popular with forest animals.

So, this is the store that you want to open this time.

"Oops... let me know if there are any other stores you'd like to attract. Not only from the realm, but also from other realms."

Well, then I guess we should start a village in the meantime. Mm-hmm.

... when I read through the documents I was given, I found a list of stores that I wanted to open.

There are many clothing stores, dairy shops, butchers, bakeries, etc. There are no bookstores or art stores.... yeah, well, I can't help it.

"What do you think? Do you have any other stores you'd like to sell?

"Painting Shop"

"... yeah, I see... well, it's a corn..."

"But you can wait a long time. I think it would be better if there were more people in the art store."

In the meantime, I conveyed my hope. But I'm not saying it's impossible because there's still no demand at all. Yes. At this stage, it's only the boulders that attract the painting shop.

... so I'm not saying that instead.

"Um, Faye."

Yeah?

I will propose a "store I want to serve".

What if a fairy confectionery shop comes out?
