After parting with Philo, we walked for about ten minutes and arrived at my garden .
"Fuu~ . . . we did walked a lot . . . "
I breathed a sighed and spoke to Giselle standing next to me .
"Yes, that's right Nii-sama . Let's take a good rest when we are done . Actually yesterday, I let mother-sama to buy a new tea leaves . It was a little bit expensive, but it smelled nice and I think this would suit Nii-sama's taste . . . . . . "
Unlike me who is breathless, Giselle speaks fluently .
Although she walked that much, she did not sweat a little .
"Is that so . . . I will look forward to it . "
"Nii-sama, why do you turn your eyes, Nii-sama?"
There is already a hole in the garden for planting tree .
In the morning, I let digging type Otem to dig a hole .
If it is this position, it has plenty sunlight and it will not get in the way .
I took the soil which was attacked to the tree carried by the Otem and put it on the soil mound which was formed after digging the hole in the garden .
Then I took out a small bottle from my pocket and poured the powder contained in it .
This powder is a mixture of monster bones and demonic metals .
Then I stirred the 2 kinds of soils and powder with my hands .
The quality of the soil is different between the village inside and the forest . There are things needed for the trees of the Futel and the geology corresponding to the trees of the Futel .
To match it . . . is half of my purpose .
Once mixed the soil, I waved the wand and a magic circle formed .
「তুরপুন錬金」
I casted a spell .
And then the soil mound glows gently .
Yoshi, with this the soil is ready .
I painted the soil that was ready in and around the hole .
After filling enough, I stepped back by clapping my hands to dust off .
"Put it in . "
With my voice Otem started moving .
It put the roots of the tree into the hole which it was carrying .
After the Futel tree entered the hole, I filled the gap between the hole and the tree roots with the soil made earlier .
Alright, it's the last step .
I pointed the little wand towards the ground .
「পানি水よ」
The water overflowed from the tip of the wand and poured onto the roots of the tree .
By adding water, I made the roots familiar with the soil .
The transplant is over with this .
While I touching the tree of the Futel with hands, I started thinking about branches that should be cut out and the branches to leave .
"Giselle, give me that thing that I handed over . "
"Yes!"
Giselle handed the paper bundle in her hand to me .
Heavy . If I had carried it all the way my arms would be numb .
I gently returned half of the paper bundle to Giselle .
This is a part of teaching inherited by the chief from his grandfather from their from the ancient times . These pages describe how to make Otems while alive as plants .
I got permission from the chief, I added writing here and there .
As for the living IOtem, in fact there is a people more familiar than the chief .
Among the Maren tribes there are the Chalco and Rietta families who make live Otems making their living .
But for them Otem is a business tool . I do not think they will teach me .
A live Otem withers quickly unless it has a magic mended soil .
That is the other half of the reason why I made that soil .
From live Otem, a special leaves can be collected .
It also serves as a chemical material, but what is the best use is cigarette smoking .
Dried leaves were chopped, they smoke the smoke that came out after putting in a kissel and smashed with fire, it is a Maren tribe's luxury item .
Here in the Maren tribe it is called Koen ha pyipe(smoke-free leaves or smoky leaves), which is said to have a calming effect .
Because it smells when it is absorbed, it is also used as a perfume application .
It seems that there is no age restriction in this world, but it is quite expensive as a child's toy, so it takes time to get used to it, so children do not smoke much .
At best there were few, who smoke it as a bit of mischief by imitating their fathers, after sucking it once they cough 'geho geho' and put it back to it's original position .
Afterwards they will be found out by the leaves content and preached as these are not for play .
It is me 5-yrs ago . Shibi also said that he had exactly the same experience .
I thought that I would never smoke again, but when a boy reached 16-yrs old to celebrate his maturity, as a part of the ceremony it seems that I have to suck smoky leaves for a long time .
I told you I do not like it, but my father was thrust by saying, "It is an important ceremony" with examples .
I doubt that the ancestors of the Calco family have incorporated as a habit, which the villagers tried to make a profit by immersing the villagers in smoky leaves .
There is no tightly monetary system in the Maren tribe .
Bartering at the plaza is the main .
The demonic metal whose chief may have marked with magic is sometimes used instead of coins, but there seems to be some people who do not accept this .
Instead, as light, convenient to carry and stable in value, smoky leaves often used as a bundle .
About that much more smoky leaves are valuable in the Maren .
As I am, it is not very funny .
Even solely because of my father's smoky leaves, many of those hunted are sold to the square .
If I also started sucking smoke-free leaves and doubled the consumption, I also have to go hunting every time .
The son of Calco family rarely goes to hunt, he inherited the making of smoky leaves and sells it occasionally, other than that he only hanging out at home .
I am sure that he will spend his free time in his house and devote himself to my research . Unforgivable .
That's why I decided to make smoky leaves myself .
I was not interested in tobacco, but if I have to suck it up I will make it myself .
I will not give money to those two houses .
Once I decided to do so, I went to chief's house the next day and I gathered the materials written about the living Otem and brought it back to my house in the end .
Because the chief had a grudge against the Calco family, he seems to have tried mass-producing it by himself for the purpose of harassing them in the past .
Unlike his looks he had a quite funky place . He himself said that it was the because of youth .
However, it seems he could only make bad product of smoky leaves .
The things left in the house of the chief was only the writings of materials needed to make live Otem .
He could not have been able to catch up with the two houses that have been improving for many generations .
But I am proud of Maren tribe's number one, if it is making Otems .
I made several hypotheses about what Otem's optimum shape, what I need for earth, with the reference from the chief's failure story .
This time is the first to actually make one, but I am confident .
It is not so long until the birthday and there is no time to try a couple of them .
If I tried different kinds of conditions, there is no end to it .
For me, curiosity is great that I wanted to make it once . I will not make it in earnest that far .
And if I mass-produce it too much, I may be harassed by the eyes of the Calco family . People in that house are famous for being domineering and gloomy .
In the worst case I made a bad product, it means that I did not have enough knowledge and skills .
As make amends . I will smoke it during my adult celebration .
I will not be get addicted to smoky leaves, hunting hell can be avoided .
If I succeed, I succeeded and I only have to keep making it myself, so I can avoid hunting hell at that time .
I can cover my father's share too .
I returned the paper bundle to Giselle and took out the woodcarving knife .
I stroke down the branches of the Futel tree and left only 3 branches that can be regarded as nose and arms .
I left the leaves on the arm part . The nose is like a decoration .
I cut down the nose, the skin around the trunk and make shapes .
After engraving the face, I painted the paint on the part other than the remaining arms of the bark by the brush made from the devil's hair .
Finally, I used treatment magic and restore the weakened vitality .
OK, this is fine .
After two weeks, if I use magic power everyday, it will become splendid smoky leaves . It should be .
Living Otem has few branches and leaves, so photosynthesis can hardly be performed, so it cannot compensate for it's own nutrients to live, so it requires extra magic power .
In two weeks, I can afford to admire my adults in time .
