Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 38.1

“Beryl. Take this with you.”

With those words, Young Lady handed me a bag.

“Young Lady?”

“It’s a gift for your sister.”

“Huh? From you? Why?”

“Why… Because once winter passes, I’ll be enrolling at the Royal Capital Academy, and you’ll be coming with me, right? That means we definitely won’t be able to return home for three years. It’s a token from me too, despite the agreement with Father.”

“I see… I understand. I’ll gratefully accept it.”

“Yeah. Take care.”

“I’m off then.”

After bidding farewell to Young Lady and Rin, amidst a light snowfall from the sky, I once again mounted Pochi and headed east toward the metropolis.

Last time, I used Telekinesis Size even while moving, but not this time.

The unique feature of that technique is that its flying speed is originally slower than Pochi’s running speed, but when it returns to me due to the time limit, it moves incredibly fast, faster than Pochi. So, while I won’t lose my scythe even if I throw it in, I don’t need to do that forcibly now.

Moreover—Pochi’s running speed has become faster than last winter.

In my past life, I didn’t have much time to enjoy the scenery while riding the Shinkansen.

Last year, I arrived at my hometown around sunset, but this time, I arrived at the village while the sun was still up in the sky.

“Big brother~!”

At the entrance, there were Sofia in her fluffy clothes, Ruan, Mom, and Dad, and even Glen.

Because I had informed them in advance of the time I’d arrive.

There’s only one clockwork tool at the village chief’s house, but now it’s placed where everyone can see it, so it’s easy to check the time in the village.

“Oh?”

“Oh, Glen~ You can even sit up now. Do you recognize me?”

Approaching him, Glen averted his gaze out of fear and tried to cling to Mom.

“Glen-chan~ It’s your big brother~? It’s not scary, you know? Look.”

Forcibly moved by Mom to me, Glen looked up at me.

Hmm…! Ruan and Sofia are cute siblings, but Glen is exceptional! He’s a baby, after all!

Lifting Glen up with both hands and playing “high and high,” he blinked his big eyes and soon smiled.

So cute~!

Ugh, it’s a shame I won’t be able to see Glen for three years from now on.

That day, we were welcomed by the villagers, and a party celebrating the festival was held at the village chief’s house.

The next day.

Lisa came to visit early in the morning.

“Beryl-kun… Long time no see!”

“Long time no see, Lisa.”

It seemed Lisa came alone, and Lady Evans wasn’t around.

“Can I stay with you today?”

“Of course. We’ll also visit Gran’s place today, is that okay?”

“Yeah!”

Walking together on a slightly snow-covered path, with Sofia on the right and Lisa on the left, we headed towards the workshop.

“Li-Lisa-chan!”

“G-G-Glen-kun…”

“P-Please. Have a seat. I’ll brew tea right away!”

“T-Thank you…”
