Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 29 Fruit Ripening

"It's been a long time coming, these tree fruits are finally ripe!"

Chiba Kaede looked at the fruit trees laden with fruit, her joy growing with each glance. 👤♩ 6➈丂Ⓗ𝐔᙭.ⒸＯᵐ ♥👌

It has been more than a month since the Great King Swallow summoned the proud swallow clan.

And today, the tree fruits have finally begun to ripen. There are only three kinds of these tree fruits: peach, orange, and apple, all of which are relatively common tree fruits.

The Swellows have settled in the orchard recently, and now the Swellows are used to resting there at night. However, the Swellows will patrol the Chiba Farm area at night to prevent wild Pokémon from invading.

Chiba Kaede also modified the training program for the Great Swan. He had the Great Swan lead the Aogu Swans in weight training in the morning, and teach them the Air Blade skill in the afternoon.

The current king swallow mainly acts as a coach to train these proud swallows. After half a month of instruction, these proud swallows have all learned this skill.

To train these proud swallows, Chiba Kaede basically invested all the income she had earned from selling Merri wool during this period.

However, as the strength of the Aoguyan increased, Chiba Kaede felt that he could no longer keep up and planned to suspend training. Fortunately, the tree fruits finally began to ripen.

Starting a few days ago, elves have been gradually drawn in by the scent of the tree fruit.

This included a large number of Bug-type Pokémon, but after seeing the Tauntlings nesting in the fruit trees, these Pokémon collectively changed direction and fled back to Petalburg Woods.

If they don't leave soon, they'll feel like they've come to deliver food, feeding themselves to these proud swallows.

The most dangerous moment came when a large-billed finches led a large flock of fiery finches in an attempt to drive away the proud swallows and then seize the orchard. (Performance)

However, before Chiba Kaede could react, the Great King Swallow led its proud swallows to defeat the group of Fiery Sparrows led by the Big-beaked Sparrow.

Under the command of the Great King Swallow, the Proud Swallows unleashed their Air Blade skill together, instantly creating a dense array of wind blades in the sky. This single attack rendered at least half of the Fierce Sparrows incapable of fighting.

Later, the leader, the Great Sparrow, was defeated by the Great Swellow and lost its fighting ability, and the remaining Sparrows scattered and fled.

Chiba Kaede rushed over upon hearing the news and was speechless when he saw the Spearow and Spearow lying on the ground. However, Swellow remembered Chiba Kaede's instructions and did not kill the Pokémon, but only rendered them unable to fight.

Because there were simply too many Pokémon, Chiba Kaede didn't want to waste Poké Balls catching them all, so she took out her phone and contacted Officer Jenny to come and clean up the mess.

Forced to work, Officer Jenny arrived in less than 15 minutes on her evolved Arcanine, took the Pokémon away, and gave Chiba a disdainful look before leaving, telling him to be more careful in the future.

To this, Chiba Kaede could only shrug. He was innocent too; he was the victim!

However, after Officer Jenny transferred 10 League Coins to him as compensation for the wild Pokémon invasion, he had no objections whatsoever.

Since the attack by the Finch tribe, there have been no large-scale Pokémon invasions until the first batch of berries has fully ripened. Only occasional scattered Pokémon have been attracted, but they have all been driven away by Swellow.

"It's so delicious!"

Chiba Kaede held an orange that she had just picked from the tree. After peeling off the hard outer skin and taking a bite, she said with satisfaction.

The Great Swallow nodded in satisfaction, agreeing with the sentiment. It had eaten its fill of the tree fruits after they ripened.

This isn't just Qianye Feng boasting; his fruit trees have all been transformed by his own life energy, making them significantly different from ordinary fruit trees, with much stronger vitality contained within them.

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede directed the elves to pick tree fruits, but he only picked one basket of each type of fruit before stopping, as he needed to leave some for the Tauntlings to eat.

Of course, if Terada Yuri can successfully make energy cubes from tree fruits and the success rate is good, she can make all these tree fruits into energy cubes and then provide them to the Primal Swallow to eat.

After all, the nutrition provided by tree fruits alone is far inferior to that of energy cubes extracted and fused from the essence of various tree fruits.

"The pears and other fruit have been picked!"

Chiba Kaede spoke to Terada Yuri, who was shearing the sheep's wool, from a great distance.

"Really? That's wonderful! It'll take me a while to finish shearing the sheep here. Why don't you put the tree fruits inside first?"

Terada Yuri wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.

"That's right, that's right, Akiko didn't finish her work either!"

Beside Terada Yuri was Iida Akiko, who was helping to move the sheared Mare sheep wool into a special box for storing Mare sheep wool. However, watching her move it, Chiba Kaede had an inexplicable urge to laugh.

Because she always tried to carry as much wool as possible when moving it, she ended up almost being covered in wool. Fortunately, the wool was very light and fluffy, so she was able to carry it.

However, things got even funnier after she put the sheep wool down. Because the sheep wool carried a lot of static electricity, her hair stood up one by one, making her look like a lion's head.

As for why this little guy is here, it all started a few days ago when Terada Yuri rode the Great Swallow to the orphanage to visit her younger siblings.

Ever since the Swellow evolved into the Giant Swellow, Chiba Kaede has made it a perk for Chiba Farm employees.

Whenever Terada Yuri wanted to go to the orphanage, she would have the Great Swallow take her there and then return to the farm, a process that never took more than 15 minutes.

At 7 p.m., Chiba Kaede had Swellow go there on time to pick up Terada Yuri. The whole process would not take Swellow more than half an hour. Moreover, manned flight can be seen as a kind of weight training, which Swellow does not reject.

Of course, the main reason is that Terada Yuri's cooking is so delicious that it completely won over Swellow's stomach. Swellow likes to eat with Chiba Kaede while consuming Energy Cubes, a habit it developed with Chiba Kaede in Petalburg Woods.

Therefore, Chiba Kaede estimated that even without her instructions, the Great Queen Tsubame would be willing to help Terada Yuri.

That day, after Terada Yuri returned home, she was pestered by Iida Akiko.

She wanted Terada Yuri to take her to Chiba Farm, partly because she wanted to live with her beloved older sister, and partly because Terada Yuri had told them a lot about Chiba Farm, which made them yearn for it.

However, the others, being older, refrained from speaking up, even though they wanted to come to Chiba Farm with Terada Yuri. They were worried about upsetting the boss and getting her scolded.

However, Akiko Iida was too young to consider these things and only wanted to be with her older sister.

So, after Terada Yuri rejected her, she used her strongest weapon: crying. And it was the kind of crying that couldn't be soothed; she cried until her eyes were swollen but still wouldn't stop.

Terada Yuri felt very sorry for her, and in the end, she had no choice but to pick up the phone and tell Chiba Kaede about it.

When Chiba Kaede received a call from Terada Yuri, he thought it was something important. But to his surprise, he immediately agreed to Iida Akiko's request to stay at Chiba Farm for a while. After all, how much could a child possibly eat?

Furthermore, Chiba Kaede allows Terada Yuri to bring her younger siblings who want to play at the farm, and considers this a benefit for Chiba Farm employees.

However, Terada Yuri didn't want to trouble Chiba Kaede too much, so she only brought Iida Akiko, the little rascal, this time. As for the others, she could only promise to bring them over to play later.

Upon hearing that she could go to Chiba Farm with Terada Yuri, Iida Akiko finally stopped crying and smiled. Fortunately, the Great Queen Tsubame's strength had improved during this time, otherwise she might not have been able to bring the two of them back in one trip.

When the little guy first met Chiba Kaede, he called him "Brother, Brother," which made Chiba Kaede very happy.

In his previous life, he only had one older brother, but in this world, he is an only child. He used to fantasize that if he had a younger sister, he would definitely save all his good food and fun toys for her.

"Jingzi is such a good girl. You can stay at your brother's place as long as you want!"

Chiba Kaede immediately spoke to Iida Akiko.

"That won't do! Boss, you'll spoil her rotten!"

After hearing what Chiba Kaede said, Terada Yuri quickly stopped her.

"It's settled then!"

After hearing Terada Yuri's words, Chiba Kaede noticed that Iida Akiko's bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, so he immediately made a decision.
