Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 105 Purchasing Tree Fruit

"Miss Cattleya, please try some of our farm's specialties!"

After pouring a glass of juice for Catharia, Terada Yuri smiled and said, "..." ☺👤 ❻❾s𝓱ยЖ.ς𝔬ϻ 🍫👑

Then, she poured a glass of juice for Chiba Kaede, Takemoto Yui, and Ralts in turn.

The juice that Chiba Kaede had collected before had already been drunk up by them, and today's juice was just obtained from the pots in the last few days.

Everyone who has tasted Shuttle's juice, both humans and Pokémon, loves it. Gadria and Ralts are no exception; after just one sip, they are captivated by its unique sweetness.

"What delicious juice! Such a unique taste! I think this must be juice brewed from a jug!"

With just a sip, Cattleya knew that such delicious juice must have been made using some kind of elven power, so she immediately thought of Potpot.

"That's right, this is the juice produced by the pots. However, the production is limited right now, so we can only use it to entertain guests. We rarely get to drink it ourselves."

Chiba Kaede wasn't surprised that Gadria recognized the juice's origin so quickly. After all, she was one of the Four Heavenly Kings and must be very knowledgeable. Besides, she might have drunk it before.

While they were talking, Ralts finished all the juice in its glass, then took the empty glass and went to Terada Yuri, clearly wanting her to refill it.

"Ralts, that's so unladylike of you!"

Seeing her Ralts's actions, Gadria blushed slightly and scolded her. ♤🎃 6➈𝕊𝕙Ǘ𝓍.𝒸ㄖ𝐦 ♥😳

"It's okay, there's still plenty of juice here, I'll just pour it some more."

Terada Yuri wasn't dissatisfied with Ralts's actions; she was quite tolerant of Pokémon, especially such cute creatures.

"Could I try some of the berries from your farm? I'm sure there's something special about them that makes Ralts so eager to try them, right?"

"It's a very direct statement," said Gadriya.

This was what she really wanted to know: the food she provided for Ralts consisted of energy cubes specially made by a top breeder.

Both the taste and the energy it provides are top-notch. If the berries here weren't so special, Gadria wouldn't believe that mere berries could make Ralts so obsessed with them.

"There are some fresh tree fruits in the kitchen, I'll go cut some over!"

Yui Takemoto volunteered.

She then got up and quickly went into the kitchen. A short while later, she returned with a plate of pre-cut tree fruit and gently placed it on the table.

"Miss Cattleya, please try some of the tree fruits grown at our Chiba Farm!"

Chiba Kaede extended the invitation.

After obtaining Chiba Kaede's permission, Gadria picked up a piece of apple pulp, put it in her mouth, and savored it carefully.

Upon tasting the fruit, Gadria compared it to the fruit she had tasted before and found that the fruit here was indeed tastier. However, that alone was not enough to make Ralts so unforgettable.

After carefully examining her body using her powerful mental energy, Cattleya discovered that after eating the fruit, a very faint but vibrant energy seemed to be repairing her body.

This energy was extremely weak; if it weren't for Cattleya's exceptionally powerful mental strength, she probably wouldn't have been able to perceive it.

"Life energy. The fruits on your farm actually contain a small amount of life energy. No wonder Ralts likes them so much."

After pondering for a long time, Gadriya finally figured out what that power was.

Although the amount of life energy contained in the fruit is very small, she is certain that if the elves can consume energy cubes made from these fruits over a long period of time, they will definitely benefit greatly.

"Miss Cattleya, you are truly knowledgeable. Indeed, the fruit trees at our Chiba Farm are specially cultivated, and the fruits they produce contain some life energy."

Chiba Kaede's gaze toward Cattleya had now turned to admiration. Just based on her insight and ability, it was well-deserved and beyond reproach that she became one of the Unova Four Heavenly Kings at such a young age.

"Do you sell your farm's fruit? I'd like to buy a batch from your farm."

"I asked, Gadriya."

She certainly didn't want to miss out on anything that could further enhance her Pokémon's strength, so she thought she could purchase a batch of tree berries from Chiba Maple and have a senior breeder process them into energy cubes for her Pokémon to eat.

"We currently use our own fruit, but if we're only selling it to Miss Cattleya, there shouldn't be any major problems."

After pondering for a moment, Chiba Kaede responded with a smile.

The reason he doesn't sell the fruit from his farm is because he's afraid that buyers won't recognize its value and will purchase his fruit at the price of ordinary fruit. In that case, it's better for him to consume it himself, even though a lot of fruit might go to waste.

Now that he's met someone like Cattleya who knows the true value of the berries, he can't think of any reason to refuse. Besides, it's great to be able to establish a connection with one of the Elite Four. At least if he goes to the Unova region in the future, he can ask her for help if he needs anything.

"Thank you for selling the tree fruit to me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price. I will send someone over later to discuss the purchase of the tree fruit with you."

When Cattleya saw that Chiba Kaede was willing to sell her the tree fruit, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The fruit produced by Chiba Farm can not only be eaten by the elves, but it is also very beneficial to her health if she eats it for a long time, so it is a good thing for her to be able to buy this resource with money.

After everything was settled, Gadriya prepared to take her leave. After all, she was an uninvited guest and it wouldn't be good to disturb Chiba Kaede and the others' lives too much.

Just like when she arrived, after holding Ralts, who looked reluctant to part, in her arms, Gadria activated her Teleport skill and disappeared from the hall.

"What a convenient skill!"

Chiba Kaede looked at the spot where Gadriya had disappeared and couldn't help but sigh.

Strictly speaking, he himself can also be considered a type of superpower user, and in terms of effectiveness, he is no less capable than Gadria. However, his ability is more of a support type, while Gadria is an all-rounder who is not only powerful herself but can also use superpowers to amplify the strength of super-powered Pokémon.

Terada Yuri was also envious of Gadri's beauty and strength, but after learning that she was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Unova region, her envy turned into the kind of idol worship that fans have for their idols, as if Gadri was born to be so outstanding.

Early the next morning, a man who looked like a butler came to the door. He claimed to be Cattleya's butler and came to discuss the purchase of tree fruit.

Chiba Kaede had no doubts about this, since only a few of them were present during yesterday's conversation, and no one else would know.

Because the fruit trees that Chiba Maple is currently planting are all relatively common varieties, the price he and the steward finally agreed on was a uniform price of 100 Alliance Coins per kilogram, regardless of the variety.

This price was already five or six times the market price of these tree fruits, and Chiba Maple felt it was reasonable, so she didn't continue to be greedy and ask for more.

Afterwards, Chiba Maple went to the orchard and reserved enough fruit for her Pokémon to use for the foreseeable future. She then directed the Taillows to harvest a total of more than 800 kilograms of fruit.

After completing the transaction with the butler, Chiba Kaede received over 8 Alliance Coins. The two parties agreed that Chiba Kaede would come back to purchase more fruit after she had used up the batch. Chiba Kaede naturally had no objection to this.

Although the climate in the Hoenn region is very warm and the fruit trees bear fruit all year round, it will still take some time for a new batch of fruit to grow after this harvest.
