Chapter 828: End of Spring and Sakura

Ann gave birth.

And it was fast.

It seems like a little after Ann said she was going to give birth, I already heard a baby’s cry.

Both Ann and the baby are safe.

No problem.

As for the gender of the baby, it’s a girl.

Ann seemed ready to go back to work right away but we asked her to take precautions and rest for a week or so.

She could think of a name while lying down.

During Torain’s time, there were a lot of people who wanted to name him.

Dors has brought up some possible names but let’s just brush it off.

I think Ann should name her whatever she wants to name her.

Me?

People say I don’t have a good naming sense……how about Sakura?

It doesn’t absolutely have to be this one.

Just a candidate.

Yes, one of the candidates.

Or so I said but it was decided to be Sakura.

Please grow up healthy.

In the courtyard of my mansion, I placed a floating garden that will become an aquarium.

I don’t want to waste the floating function by not putting it in the air but I have to think what to do when changing water and so on.

First of all, I’m going to wash the rocks, sand and soil……that I’m going to put in the aquarium.

But then, when I was about to wash rocks, sand, and soil…..

Yeah, the aquarium is big.

The floor space is about four and a half tatami mats.

In a way, it’s as big as a room.

I guess bigger is better than smaller but, this is too big.

It’s difficult to put stones, sand, and soil.

But I’ll do my best.

Well, the next step is to plant water plants we collected from the river.

To prevent the planted plants from falling out, water will be slowly poured into the aquarium.

This aquarium can be as high as I like…….

For now, the amount of water should be just enough to submerge the water plants.

Then, I’ll leave it for a while until the plants take root.

Since I intend to put river fish in the aquarium, I need to adjust the acidity(pH) level.

After all, it is river water.

Besides, even if I wanted to adjust the pH level, I don’t even know how to check it.

Well, I can only rely on trial and error.

Let’s do our best.

If I leave it like this, the chickens in the courtyard will play with it.

They are even looking at me from afar.

I wondered what to do and decided to use the levitation function, which I had not been able to take advantage of.

If it was floating in the air, the chickens wouldn’t be able to touch it.

It was around 3 meters high……

No no, the chickens can fly this high.

I once built a bathing place for the phoenix chick Aegis at that height and it was used by the chickens.

Let’s keep it above the mansion.

I guess I’ll have to ask the angels or harpies to take it down but it’s better than having the chickens mess with it.

Alright, we’re good to go.

The next day.

I asked the angels to take the aquarium down as Aegis is using it as a swimming pool.

It will soon be summer and the village pool will be open to the public.

I guess he wanted to show to everyone how to swim gorgeously up there.

You were scolded by the oni maids when you practiced in the bath?

Is that the reason you’re practicing there?

I see, you’re a hard worker.

Alright.

By the way, I don’t think birds should do front crawl.

You learned it from the pond turtles?

If you ask me, floating on the surface of the water like Swan and Black Swan and using your feet to…..

Wait, can Aegis even float on water?

You float, right?

I’ve seen him float in the bathtub many times.

Hnn?

You float but…..?

When you float, the water around heats up……ah, so you adjust the part that gets heated with your feet.

So, the difference in water temperature creates a convection current which is what you’re trying to take advantage of……

Ah, you’re able to move around like that!

Aren’t you amazing!

However, if you’re just depending on that to move, doesn’t that mean you’re not swimming?

I see.

That’s why you’re practicing.

Right.

Understood.

Use this aquarium freely until the pool is opened.

Yeah.

No problem.

All the plants I planted are dying.

The water temperature has gotten too hot…….

Well, thinking about it positively, it means the soil will be disinfected with boiling water.

Ah, it’s okay, it’s okay.

No need to apologize.

Don’t mind it.

I’ll just gather more water plants.

It would be a pity if I let them die.

My conversation with Aegis reminded me of Swan and Black Swan.

Those two birds, or two people, left the village after the parade.

I wonder if I’ll only see them again after a year but they stayed at the shrine in Village Five.

Even if I use the AFT, it would take several days to build a pond big enough for them at the foot of the mountain where the shrine is located.

I asked Kon, the leader of the silver foxes that manages the shrine, if they would be willing to accept Swan and Black Swan and since they accepted them, there was nothing I could say to refuse. However, if they are going to dig a pond, I want to help them.

They said they couldn’t easily build a pond because of many conditions.

Even if they stay at the shrine, Swan and Black Swan are said to be having their usual fights.

That seems to please the worshippers so I would like to believe that they are not annoying anyone…..

I look up at the sky.

It’s almost time to go.

As planned, silhouettes jumped from Village Four one after another.

A few moments later, parachutes opened, and they started to descend.

The ones who jumped down were the residents of Village Four which are the devils and dream demons.

Village Four have floating gardens and this was an evacuation drill in case something happened to the floating gardens.

The devils and dream demons can fly but there are times when they are injured and cannot fly.

There is also some kind of magic spell that can render someone unable to fly.

You shouldn’t let your guard down just because you can fly.

We have decided to keep parachutes in every floating garden.

This time, we practiced evacuation using parachutes.

To ensure that there would be no problem during the parachute descent, angels were flying around the descenders.

The planned drop site was in the forest on the west side of the village.

The kuros had already driven the monsters and demon beasts beforehand so safety was assured.

However, we checked the wind direction and executed the plan but it somehow veered off to the side.

Since it is dangerous to descend into the forest off course because of monsters and demon beasts, those who might go off course started flying on their own judgment.

Their descent was interrupted.

-0-

Hmm.

Most of them failed to land at the planned descent point.

It is difficult to operate a parachute.

It can’t be helped.

By the way, it’s not the planned descent point but the slimes made a spectacular descent….at the courtyard of my mansion.

This is not a game.

No, the slimes’ descent was good because they were playing with parachutes.

Should we recommend sky diving as a sport in Village Four?

Let’s think about it.

Evening.

I found a lot of fish in my aquarium.

They are fish that live in the nearby river.

Apparently, Aegis had caught them in cooperation with the spiderlings.

I guess he was apologizing for ruining my aquarium.

I told you not to worry about it.

The water seems to have been cooled down.

The fish in the river are just swimming fine.

Spiderlings, thank you too.

Did you catch them using a net made of web?

No?

Manually?

Amazing.

You even caught big ones.

Yeah, let’s go fishing together sometime.

No, I know I’m not a good fisherman.

Honestly speaking, I’m bad at it.

However, since I’m not good at fishing, it means I have a lot of room to grow.

I’ll show you how good I’ve grown.

Fufufu.

Ah, it’s almost time to eat.

Today’s meal is made with fish sent by the Goroun Company and the Dalfon Company.

Eat a lot and grow up.

Yeah, that’s right.

I want to feed Sakura too.

However, she can only drink breast milk for now.

But she’ll grow up soon.
