Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 3.2

I feel sorry for my mother, who seems like she’s about to cry, but I can’t afford to stop here.

However,

As the night grew a little deeper, Brian-san came to the house with a boy.

He was the boy who had called out to me when he threw the stone.

A child from Brian-san’s place… When they stand together, they do look alike…

“Beryl-kun. I apologize for what my child did. I’m sorry.”

“Tsk.”

Hey. Kid. Your father is apologizing, and you’re clicking your tongue?

“Gran…?”

“Yikes! S-Sorry.”

“Gran. Is that the attitude for someone who threw stones at others?”

“Dad! But, he… has black hair! Last year’s poor harvest was because of him!”

“How do you prove that?”

“Well, his hair is black!”

“You… fool!”

Brian-san’s big fist sent Gran flying impressively.

In my previous life, this would be the level of abuse that gets you arrested…

“Ow, it hurts! Waaaah!”

Seeing Gran crying loudly, I muttered to myself, that’s why I wanted to take care of him.

“It won’t happen again. I’m sorry.”

It was quite a challenge to calm down Brian-san, who was kneeling down to apologize, with my father and me.

“Beryl.”

“Yeah?”

“It’s not your fault.”

“I know. Father.”

“Really?”

“Just because my hair is black doesn’t mean these things happen. Well, you know, black is associated with night and darkness, so it might have been scary. I’m not bothered by it.”

“I see…”

“And, Ruan and Sofia aren’t scared of me either.”

“That’s true. Maybe there will be more incidents like this in the future, but… our family knows that Beryl is the kindest brother of all.”

“Yeah. That’s enough for me. And Mother too.”

While pretending to sleep, Mother reached out and gently stroked my head.

I want to spend gentle times with this family forever.

The next day,

Today, too, I’m using techniques to cut wheat~!

“B-Beryl!?”

“Hm? What’s wrong, Father?”

“T-T-That!?”

“Huh? This is the scythe Brian-san made for me.”

“Not that! The one that cut in an instant just now!”

“Huh? The technique? Father, can’t you use it too?”

“I can use it, but I can’t use something as amazing as Beryl’s!”

It’s funny to see my father talking so fast for a change.

“Because I’m a child~ and I don’t understand~”

“…Beryl? Don’t act like a child only when it’s convenient!”

Well, actually, I am a child!

After that, I insisted that it was the scythe Brian-san made for me.

Well, it’s a lie that will be exposed as soon as I ask Brian-san, but I hope people will think that it’s just a child using a special technique that adults can’t see through.

The most efficient way to increase skill proficiency is to use techniques diligently and repeat actions where the skill exerts its power.

For example, with “Scythe Master,” cutting grass with a scythe increases proficiency by one. This is the basic method. Now, what about techniques? For example, when using “Grass Cutting Flash,” you can cut a wide range of crops, and with wheat, you can cut about a hundred in an instant. In addition to this, there are technique usage bonuses and achievement bonuses, making it more profitable.

Since I need ten times the proficiency gained, it took me a long time to accumulate proficiency in “Scythe Master.”

From the time I learned “Scythe Master”――――six months.

I turned six, and my proficiency was now maximum.

However――――they came on that day.
