Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 86 Return

After returning from the excavation site of the artificial lake, Chiba Kaede first went to her backyard to check on the seedlings' development. Relieved to find everything was normal, she breathed a sigh of relief. 👺✊ ➅❾ŞHᑌ᙭.ᑕόᝓ� 🎀👌

"Boss, are the seedlings alright?"

Terada Yuri asked Chiba Kaede somewhat nervously as she returned from the backyard.

"Everything is fine, you're taking good care of me!"

Chiba Kaede praised it.

"Phew, that puts my mind at ease. I was worried I might have made a mistake that would have affected the seedlings' growth!"

Terada Yuri said with relief.

Today was her first day volunteering to take care of the seedlings for Chiba Kaede. She was worried that she might make some oversights that could cause unexpected problems with the seedlings' growth. Now she could finally breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

"By the way, boss, Grandma Uchino called me this afternoon and said that the situation at the orphanage has stabilized, so Yui can come back to work at the farm tomorrow."

Terada Yuri briefly recounted the events of the afternoon to Chiba Kaede.

"That's good news. This will lighten your load considerably. Do you need me to go pick up Yui tomorrow?"

Chiba Kaede was quite happy to learn that Takemoto Yui was going back to work at the farm. After all, there was a lot going on at the farm, and manpower was a bit tight. Having another person would greatly alleviate the situation.

"No need to trouble yourself, Grandma Uchino will drive her over tomorrow!"

Terada Yuri said happily that she was also very happy to be able to meet Uchino Rie.

"I see. But I'll be heading to the artificial lake to take command first thing tomorrow morning, so you'll be in charge of entertaining Grandma Uchino in my place. Also, please tell her I apologize for me!"

Chiba Kaede had already promised to work with the spirits at the artificial lake for the next few days, and he couldn't easily go back on his word, so he had Terada Yuri entertain the guests in his place. (New 99 Bookstore →)

"Boss, you can go to work without worry. I'll definitely take good care of Grandma Uchino."

Terada Yuri assured with a smile.

The next day,

As Chiba Kaede had said yesterday, he got up early and went to the artificial lake excavation site. He also brought along the energy cubes made by Terada Yuri so that Terada Yuri wouldn't have to make another trip.

"Yuri-neechan, I'm back!"

It was a little past 9 a.m. Terada Yuri was making Energy Cubes inside the house, while Shuten-dōji was perched on her head, intently watching the rotation of the Fruit Mixer.

Because she needs to use the Grassy Terrace skill on the seedlings in the backyard on time, Yuri Terada's Jumplover is now staying by her side instead of wandering around like before. However, Jumplover doesn't seem to mind; it really likes its trainer.

It now really enjoys watching Terada Yuri make energy cubes because Shuttlecock can't quite figure out how this square iron lump turns tree fruits into energy cubes.

"Grandma Uchino, Yui, you're here! I'll be finishing making the energy cube soon, please wait a moment!"

Because she was still making the energy cube, Terada Yuri couldn't get up to greet them, otherwise the production would be considered a failure. Besides, she felt that given her relationship with the two of them, there was no need for such formalities.

These past few days, Terada Yuri has gained a lot of knowledge from the book "The Development Ideas of Energy Cubes," which has broadened her thinking and allowed her to create energy cubes more accurately. She feels she will soon be able to create advanced energy cubes. 👽♛ ➅❾Ŝ𝐡ù𝐗.ᑕ๏ｍ 🐸♡

"Yuri, you go ahead and do your work. Don't let us distract you. Focus on making the energy cubes!"

"Yes, Yuri-neechan!"

The two then gathered around and stood aside watching Terada Yuri make the energy cubes.

Before long, the high-speed spinning fruit mixer slowly stopped rotating. After the fruit mixer completely stopped, Terada Yuri pressed the open outlet button, and several energy cubes slid out from the outlet.

Terada Yuri picked up one of the energy cubes that had a golden luster and examined it carefully. This energy cube was different from the others; its color was more dazzling, and it had almost no impurities.

"Sister Yuri, this must be a high-level energy cube! You're amazing, you actually made it!"

Yui Takemoto can now also make basic energy cubes, so she has some knowledge about the quality of energy cubes. After examining them for a while, she called out somewhat uncertainly.

"This is indeed a high-level energy block, but I was just lucky to make it. It will take a long time to accumulate experience to consistently make this kind of high-level energy block."

After carefully examining the energy cube in her hand, Terada Yuri finally confirmed that she had indeed created an advanced energy cube.

However, she felt that she was just lucky to make the advanced energy cube this time. Terada Yuri knew that with her current crafting skills, she was not yet able to reliably make advanced energy cubes.

"Even so, it's still amazing. I believe that after a while, Sister Yuri, you will definitely be able to create advanced energy cubes according to your own wishes."

Clearly, Takemoto Yui and Terada Yuri still had confidence, she said very firmly.

"By the way, wasn't the boss supposed to be back from his trip? Why haven't I seen him?"

Seeing that she and Grandma Uchino had been inside for a while, but Chiba Kaede hadn't shown up, Takemoto Yui became somewhat uneasy and said...

After all, she had been away from her post for a while without permission, and Chiba Kaede was afraid that she wouldn't be allowed to stay at Chiba Farm because of this, even though she really liked the job.

"Recently, Chiba Farm has been expanding its artificial lake, so the boss went there early to oversee the work. Yesterday, he even asked me to take good care of Grandma Uchino."

As for you, Yui, the boss is very happy that you can continue to work at Chiba Farm. He even said that you can greatly reduce our burden!

Terada Yuri said with a smile.

Her words finally calmed Takemoto Yui's somewhat uneasy mood and also relieved Uchino Rie, who was also afraid that Takemoto Yui would lose a good job because of the orphanage.

"By the way, Grandma Uchino, you came with Yui. Hopefully, things won't go wrong at the orphanage!"

Terada Yuri asked with some concern.

"You don't need to worry about that. The children are all going to school now. Except for Yuta, who went to the Trainer School, I also sent the other children to junior school."

Previously, I was already struggling to support the orphanage on my own, so I couldn't afford to pay for your schooling. Now that I have a little more ability, I still hope to let them learn more.

Rie Uchino said with some emotion.

If the orphanage land hadn't sold for a good price this time, she wouldn't have been able to support the schooling costs for so many children.

Rie Uchino had originally planned to send Yui Takemoto to the Trainer Academy, but she refused.

Because Yui Takemoto felt that learning from Yuri Terada was no worse than going to the Trainer Academy, and she loved everything about Chiba Farm; life there made her feel fulfilled.

After seeing Terada Yuri create the advanced energy cube, Uchino Rie was completely relieved. With this energy cube making technology, she wouldn't need to worry about it anymore.

Rie Uchino then declined Yuri Terada's invitation to stay for lunch at the Chiba farm, as she needed to rush back to prepare lunch for several children attending junior high school.

At noon, Chiba Kaede rushed back, but only saw Takemoto Yui and Terada Yuri preparing lunch. She did not see Uchino Rie.

"Welcome back, Yui!"

Chiba Kaede greeted the somewhat nervous Takemoto Yui with a smile.

"Boss, I'm sorry, it was me!"

Yui Takemoto wanted to say something more, but Kaede Chiba stopped her, feeling that the matter was over and there was no need to make things so awkward.

"Boss, please wait a moment, the food will be ready soon!"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, Terada Yuri couldn't help but speak up to ease the tension.

During lunch, Chiba Kaede learned that Terada Yuri had accidentally created a high-level energy cube, which once again amazed him with Terada Yuri's talent.
