Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 2.1

“B-Beryl! You don’t have to work yet, okay?”

Father tries to take away the scythe I’m holding with an anxious expression.

“Father, I’m fine.”

“B-But… You’re still only five, you know? More importantly, you should play with your younger brother and sister, shouldn’t you?”

Behind him, two children are looking at me with teary eyes.

The boy with brown hair is my younger brother, Luann. The girl with beautiful and cute golden hair is my younger sister, Sophia.

Both of them have kindly accepted me and always follow me around.

But! I have things I need to do!

“Luann! Sophia! Didn’t I tell you not to follow me?”

“Brother…”

Ugh… it’s quite difficult to resist their pleading eyes, but I’m already five, and I want to increase my proficiency.

“I’ll play with you later.”

“How much later?”

“Umm… at lunchtime.”

“Got it! Then, we’ll be good kids at home, okay? Brother?”

“Got it. I’ll be somewhere where you can see me.”

“Yeah!”

Both of them have grown up to be good kids and are very obedient.

Being a farmer in this different world means being oppressed above all else. Eighty percent of the crops harvested here must be delivered to the lord, and we are forced to cultivate the fields to survive.

It was the same in my previous life’s game, but “farmers have no rights” is really true. Farmers have no rights.

My occupation is also a farmer, and I have to become one from now on… but I thought it was fine to start as a farmer.

However… last year, when there was a poor harvest, I saw the lord treating the villagers terribly, and I made up my mind.

I don’t want to let my kind-hearted parents, brother, and sister… starve to death. So I decided to do what I can.

The reason I didn’t act immediately last year was because Sophia was still two years old and not very obedient yet.

But it seems there won’t be any problems from this year onwards.

Now, I look up at my father, who is looking bewildered.

“Father. Let’s go.”

“But…”

“It’s okay. Don’t push yourself and let me do it.”

“O-Okay… but don’t push yourself too hard, okay?”

“Yeah!”

Since I got my father’s permission, I gaze at the wheat field spread out in front of the house.

It’s the same as in the game, but the system is completely different. It’s partly because it feels like a game, but the way it grows is different. If someone with the skill “Farming Knowledge” plants seeds and waters them, the growth speed and quality will improve.

Since my father also has “Farming Knowledge,” the wheat fields are spread out everywhere, but the problem is harvesting.

There are no machines like in my previous life, so everything is done by hand.

However, it’s a little early to despair, as there are skills in this different world.

Another skill I have, “Grass Cutter Scythe User,” is a skill that increases physical abilities when holding a grass cutting scythe.

It’s my first time holding one, but I feel a surge of power from inside my body.

So this is… the power of a skill.

Then, I start cutting the wheat in front of me one by one.

It’s a bit bothersome to have to cut each one because the quality of the scythe is poor, but if I think of it as increasing the proficiency of the skill, it’s okay.

Since my proficiency is only one-tenth, I have to do ten times more than others. But since skill evolution can apparently be done unconditionally, it should be a considerable advantage.

From that day on, I repeated days of cutting grass in the morning and playing with my younger brother and sister in the afternoon.

Six months later…

Grass Cutter Scythe User (1000/1000)

– Grass Cutter Scythe Intermediate User (Unconditional Evolution)
– Grass Cutter Scythe Master (Conditional Evolution)

Finally, it’s reached the maximum…!

There are additional selection screens on the window.

“Unconditional evolution” means that as long as proficiency accumulates, evolution can occur at any time, while “conditional evolution” means that evolution can occur if certain conditions are met.

I don’t know if it’s because of my reincarnation bonus, but thanks to “Reincarnated Being,” it’s a huge advantage that I can easily evolve into “Grass Cutter Scythe Master.”

I immediately evolve “Grass Cutter Scythe User.”

Wow~! It really evolved!

In the game, I didn’t feel tired, so I could do it as much as I wanted, and I spent a month swinging the scythe to evolve, but with a child’s body and low stats, it takes this much time.

And the scythe.

Durability is still provided, and it seems it’s about to break soon.

“Father~”

“What’s wrong?”

“This scythe seems like it’s about to break soon~”

“It was already an old scythe to begin with… Beryl. Can I say something?”

He bends down to my level and meets my gaze.
