Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 77 The Reason

"Boss, could you introduce these two new members to me?"

Upon seeing Machop and Torchic, Terada Yuri quickly inquired. 🎄☝ ❻➈Ş卄υＸ.Ⓒ𝕆ϻ 🐣🍩

They were sitting around the dining table, enjoying a sumptuous lunch. Because Chiba Kaede had returned, Terada Yuri had prepared several extra dishes, making it much more lavish than when she ate alone.

"You should know Torchic; it hatched from a starter Pokémon egg I got from Professor Birch. Machop, on the other hand, was caught by chance in Professor Birch's backyard. They're both great partners!"

Chiba Kaede replied with a smile.

"Armwyn, and Torchic, this is Terada Yuri, the head housekeeper of our Chiba Farm. You two should get along well with her from now on!"

Chiba Kaede said to Machop and Torchic, who were busy devouring their food.

Upon hearing the trainer's words, Machop and Torchic temporarily stopped eating and nodded earnestly. They thought the girl's cooking was delicious, no worse than yesterday's food, and they had to get on her good side.

"We've finished lunch now, Yuri, can you tell me the current situation?"

After quickly finishing his lunch, Chiba Kaede hurriedly asked.

"Boss, don't worry, nothing serious has happened. The day after you left, a real estate company called Devon Real Estate came and offered 60 Alliance Coins to buy the land where the orphanage used to be. They said that there will be a large-scale development there in the future, which is why they are offering such a high price."

Terada Yuri recounted.

"And then, Director Uchino agreed?"

Chiba Kaede continued to inquire. 💋♩ ➅➈𝔰Ĥ𝓊𝔵.𝒸𝐨𝓂 💣👍

"The dean originally didn't want to sell, but Devon Properties offered her a condition she couldn't refuse."

Terada Yuri paused slightly, keeping everyone in suspense.

However, seeing that his boss's expression was getting worse, he quickly continued:

"They promised to sponsor a few places each year for the orphanage to enter the newly built trainer school in town, which is the main reason why Director Uchino agreed to sell the land to them."

She wanted the children to be able to go to school, but previously there simply weren't the resources. The headmaster himself taught us some basic knowledge, and then we had to learn on our own.

After Terada Yuri finished speaking, she also expressed some emotion.

It was already quite difficult for their orphanage to survive, and she could only learn about animal husbandry through self-study.

However, she knew that if she could get into school, she could learn the knowledge she was interested in more effectively and systematically.

"So where are the people from the orphanage living now?"

Chiba Kaede asked the question that had been bothering him the most.

"After selling the land, the director felt that she was now able to give the children the life they wanted. In addition, she felt that she had already caused you a lot of trouble and did not want to continue to trouble you or make you bear responsibilities that were not yours."

Therefore, the director bought another house near the Trainer Academy as the orphanage's new residence, and they all moved there a few days ago.

Terada Yuri said cautiously.

She was also afraid that her boss would be angry about this, since it had been agreed that the orphans would live at Chiba Farm, but now things had changed.

"This is great news! Don't overthink it. I hadn't considered things thoroughly enough before. I'm overjoyed that the dean and the others have found good places to go!"

Chiba Kaede said with a smile.

After hearing Terada Yuri's words, Chiba Kaede was initially a little angry. After all, they had agreed on something before, but now she had suddenly changed her mind without even discussing it with him.

However, upon further reflection, Rie Uchino was actually forced to bring the orphans to live at the Chiba Farm.

The only house was burned down. Although the Elf League compensated them with 10 League Coins afterward, frankly, there wouldn't be much left after rebuilding the house.

Rie Uchino was willing to build the new orphanage on Chiba Farm for the sake of the children's future, with the real purpose of having Kaede Chiba help out.

However, now that she has unexpectedly received a large sum of compensation for the demolition, she certainly can no longer accept the financial assistance from Chiba Kaede, who is an orphan and only 12 years old.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Chiba Kaede felt that she didn't have anything to complain about.

Moreover, the saying goes, "A little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment." He had been thinking too simply, and his help exceeded a certain limit, making both sides somewhat uncomfortable.

This may also be related to the fact that he came into this world alone and wanted the company of family to fill the emptiness in his body.

Chiba Kaede has now figured it out. He can help the orphanage, but there's no need to go to the extremes he did before.

Moreover, he is no longer alone. He has many spirit companions with whom he can share life and death, as well as Terada Yuri, a companion he can consider a confidante.

"By the way, boss, Yuta plans to attend the Trainer Academy, so he won't be working here on the farm anymore."

Yui said that she needs to help out at the orphanage for a few days because it just moved, but she'll come back to work at our farm once things settle down there. She said she really likes the working environment at our farm.

Seeing that Chiba Kaede wasn't angry, Terada Yuri continued speaking.

"Well, I understand the general situation now. So, Yuri, what are your plans? I know your dream is to become a Pokémon breeder, and now you have the opportunity to study at a Pokémon Trainer Academy. Aren't you going?"

Chiba Kaede looked at Terada Yuri and asked.

"I don't need to. I really enjoy life on the farm, and I can continue to learn here. I also have the opportunity to research and make energy cubes. I'm already very satisfied with that, so I won't try to take away my younger siblings' spots."

To be honest, I'm no longer a member of the orphanage; I've actually left.

Terada Yuri didn't hide anything and directly expressed her inner thoughts.

That's exactly what she thought. She had helped the orphanage a lot before because it was in a bad situation. Now that the orphanage had a lot of funds, she could finally relax and live her own life. Of course, she would still go back to the orphanage often to see her younger siblings.

"By the way, boss, there's something else that's a bit embarrassing to talk about, and I feel a little bad about it."

"So, Yuta's Tsundere was given to him by you, the farm's employee welfare, and now that he's left the farm early, Yuta wants to ask if it's possible to compensate you by purchasing him, since he's become quite familiar with Tsundere and doesn't want to lose this companion."

Terada Yuri was a little embarrassed by this, after all, Mizuno Yuta had received the farm's benefits in advance, but now he decided to go to the Trainer School without discussing it with the boss, and he didn't want to give up his starter Pokémon, Taillow. However, as her younger brother, she, as his older sister, could only shamelessly speak up for him.

"No need, let's keep Taillow as a gift for him when he goes to the Trainer Academy, but I still hope he treats Taillow well!"

Chiba Kaede originally gave Mizuno Yuta the opportunity to work at Chiba Farm because of Terada Yuri, and wanted to train him to become a trainer. Now that they don't need him anymore, he won't rush to give them any benefits.

As for Aogu Yan, her relationship with Mizuno Yuta is already too deep, so there's no point in her coming back. It's better to be more generous and let her go.

Of course, if Yuta Mizuno encounters any problems or troubles in the future, don't expect him to lend a hand again.

He wasn't a fool. If Yuta Mizuno had waited patiently for me to return before discussing this matter with me, would I have disagreed with him going to the Trainer Academy?

Now he has made the decision in advance, and then asked Terada Yuri to mediate on his behalf. This is clearly an attempt to make the matter a fait accompli so that Terada has no reason to object to his departure.

"Thank you so much, boss. I will definitely work hard in the future to make up for your loss."

Terada Yuri was very grateful to Chiba Kaede for not intending to chase after Aokoku Yan, and also felt a bit guilty.
