Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

rin knew this, but after the land improvement that happened today, she was simply too dizzy with joy to think about it.
But now Meirin was reminded by Zhao's words and immediately understood.
Zhao was right.
If they let those old nobles find out that they could improve the land here, it would be hard to deal with them.

Although the Buda clan had signed an agreement with the Empire, it was on the premise that the territory would only belong to the heir of the Buda family.
But if there was no heir, then the king would be able to take this fief back, naturally withdrawing it into the king's ownership.

Every man was innocent until they had something valuable.

Meirin put down her knife and fork.
“What Master said makes sense.
Even if we were just trying to improve our lives, those old nobles wouldn't let us go.
So young master, what should we do?” Meirin paid more and more attention to Zhao's opinions these days.
Zhao had done a lot of amazing things coupled with his unique ability.
So Meirin unconsiously couldn't help but listen to him.

Zhao also put down his cutlery and gently wiped his mouth with a napkin.
“The land is to be improved, but not around the castle.
It would be too conspicuous.
With a glance, it would be too easy for people to find.
I think we should look for another area of land to improve.
Somewhere subtle, not too big, and could not be easily found. We just need about a thousand acres of farm land to meet the needs of everyone here.”

Meirin nodded.
“Master's right.
Tomorrow, I will gather some of the slaves to check out the surroundings for a good place to make a farm.
Will we continue to try to raise blue-eyed rabbits and scaleless fish?”

“Yes, we're going to continue to try to raise them, especially scaleless fish.
If someone manages to catch sight of them and blue-eyed rabbits, they would think that it was just our last attempts at struggling to survive since we have nothing to feed them.
So they wouldn't be too concerned about it.”

“Then the only problem is the water,” Meirin said.
“Not only our moat, but the lake seems to have no fish at all.
What do you think is wrong?”

Zhao thought for a moment.
He was only an otaku, not a professional fisherman, so he didn't notice any problems with the water, while Meirin had noticed it because she was a Water Mage.
Zhao was somewhat puzzled.
Arguably, the moat and the lake should have a lot of fish.
The problem shouldn't be the water quality.
He had already analyzed it in his spatial farm.
So why weren't there any fish? “Grandma Meirin, there shouldn't be any problems.
It should be an excellent source of water where the fish could survive.
But when you look at it, there are no fish.
So what could the reason be?”

Meirin frowned.
“When water has no fish, there are only two possibilities.
The first is that the water could be toxic and so wouldn't be suitable for the fish to survive.
The second is that there's a ferocious spirit beast living in the water and eating all the fish.
If it really is like Master said, then the water shouldn't be poisonous.
Then it could only be the second possibility.
There is a spirit beast living in the water.”

Zhao carefully thought about it.
What Meirin said makes sense.
He remembered in his past life, when he was watching the news, a fisherman had found two predatory animals in his pond.
The result was all the pond fish had been eaten.
There might also be this kind of beast here.
If that were the case, then it would be a huge hassle.

When Meirin saw Zhao frowning, she tried to comfort him.
“Master, this isn't a difficult matter.
It would be difficult to solve if the water was poisonous, but if there is just a mischevious spirit beast in the water, then we just need to kill it after we find it.”

Even after listening to her, Zhao was still worried.
His thoughts were the complete opposite of Meirin's.
If the water was poisonous, then he could simply use his spatial water to detoxify it, but if there was a spirit beast in the water, it would be troublesome.

Meirin saw that Zhao still had a worried look.
“Master doesn't need to worry.
If it's a spirit beast, I could just kill it.
This would not affect young master's plans.”

Zhao heard what Meirin said and he was surprised, but then he understood.
This wasn't Earth.
On Earth, if you wanted to kill something like a deep sea monster, it wouldn't be so easy.
But here in the Ark Continent, there was magic, and Meirin was a powerful Water Mage.
Maybe she did have the means to destroy the spirit beast.
