Two weeks have passed since the first harvest of the magic tomato. It seemed that Gil would be preoccupied with the management of the store for a while, and after giving him a large amount of tomato seeds, he said that he could use the fields as he pleased, and he did not come to the vacant lot often. With the passage of snack time, Nicola's tension eased slightly.
And maybe because the stubborn old man stopped coming, I started seeing the neighborhood kids here and there. That said, I did not enter the wasteland, and I was only occasionally seen from afar.
Do they think I'm a stooge of stubborn old men or something, or do I want to hang out with them?
Let's go back to childhood and play together! It may be a good idea to say that, but if you are already at your mental age, you are old enough to match your previous life. I pretended not to notice because it was a high hurdle for me to go out and play with it. Pardon me!
While thinking about such a thing, I repeatedly used magic to take out sand, dig up the ground, and splash water. Perhaps because of that effect, I could feel my magic growth to some extent without having to compare the dunes side by side like before.
"Nicola, my item box expands according to which container, right? Is that normal?"
Nicola answered while eating the walnut bread she brought from home today.
“No, usually the capacity has been fixed from the beginning. Older brother is a rare category. Small person the size of a handbag, and big person the size of a truck 1 ton.”
No, I know you're eating, but let's talk as much as we can without being careless, okay?
“Goku.
I think you read my mind scary scary scary.
"You don't even have to read my mind because you have a face that's easy to understand. Come to think of it, how many items can you put in the Onii-chan item box right now?"
“I never tried to limit it. First, I just put the sand in the trash.
"It is understandable if you inhale water from the sea or river, but the sea is not nearby, and the river is outside the city, so it is still impossible for us to go outside. I thought you could."
This was a fantasy world of swords and magic, so of course there were monsters. It seemed that goblins lived in the forests and rivers outside the city.
However, since the city had meticulous patrols and good views of the surroundings, it seemed like they rarely entered the city. I haven't seen him either.
"With this, if the main character was a different world light novel, he would go out of town and chase away the goblins as if nothing had happened, he said, but I don't want to go out of town just to draw water. Well then, I continue to train my magic power until I am old enough to go out of town one day."
"It's oriented towards serious stability. I don't want to miss him."
There were two small tomato fields, one of which was planted with tomato seeds, and the other one was ploughed with magic to inject mana back into the fields and grow it alternately, but the faster plowing speed was futile. I've got more time to plow the same place. I want to spend more mana in other ways.
“Nicola, what can you do with earth magic besides making sand and softening the soil?”
For now, let's start with earth magic, which I mastered.
"Well, harden the ground, throw stones and pebbles, make walls, etc. I guess it's like that. There seems to be craftsmen like stone statues."
"Is that a stone statue? It would be hard to imagine anything complicated.
Concentrate while extending your hand forward. The image collects and solidifies more sand that has been extinguished until now...

A lump of flat ground the size of a manhole appeared in front of my palm and stuck it in a soft field. Dangerous, if I don't do it right, I'll hit my feet directly.
“It would be nice to make everything from scratch, but since there is ground beneath it, it might be easier to approach it from there as well.”
I understand, now that you mention it, yes. Then, let's do with the interesting image of the ground below, but also spit it out from here.
Then, this time I can make a clay wall that is 5 cm wide and 10 cm wide, and as high as the palms I removed. It's easier than ever. But this time it broke easily when I stabbed him.
"I think violence can be increased by injecting mana. After that, it depends on training."
"One day I want to build a wall instantly like a steel witch."
"Well, depends on your training... Let's do our best, Onii-chan!"
When I got suspicious of Nicola, who suddenly went into cat mode, someone called me from behind.
"Hey, hey, did you guys make this field?"
Two or three years older than me? An older sister with red hair in a ponytail (relative to her physical age) looked at us and smiled.
