Overgeared

Piaro was sitting in the moonlight while moving the hand plow. The result of his experiments in the vampire city... No, the full moon tonight was enough to plant a ‘bloody tomato’ he had developed with the help of a colleague.

“Field work is fun.”

Piaro felt this every time, but farming wasn’t a joke. He had to dig at the hard ground, plant seeds in it, and cover them with soil again. The more he repeated this series of exercises, the more efficiently his muscles were trained and the more strength he gained.

“It is thanks to the health and clean outdoor air.”

He sucked the clean air deep into his lungs. It might be exaggerating but he felt that his life was extended by one day every time he took in a breath. It was a sensation he couldn’t feel in the vampire cities. The vampire cities were underground, and the flow of air wasn’t smooth. He also never got sunburnt because it wasn’t sunny. However...

“I’ll have to go back soon...”

He couldn’t avoid it just because he didn’t like it.

Noll’s blood was an enormous help for farming because it contained a large number of nutrients. Thanks to Noll’s help, Piaro could improve the new variety of potatoes that he was planting. Ultimately, he might be able to get a hint on how to grow the golden walnuts.

‘I have to say goodbye to His Majesty tomorrow.’

The reason why Piaro had briefly returned to Reinhardt was due to Grid’s safety. He had waited in Reinhardt so he could receive Grid’s call at any time when Grid was in the empire. Grid had returned unharmed today, meaning Piaro no longer had a reason to stay in Reinhardt.

‘I want to go and see him.’

However, the time was too late. It would be rude to find Grid now. Recently, Piaro had been planting potatoes in the middle of the night, causing him to wake up late.

“Hmm?” Piaro was wishing that morning would come soon when he suddenly stopped moving his hand. He felt turbulence in the atmosphere a few hundred meters away.

“...”

Yet the silence of the night continued. The only sound in the serene farmland was the cries of the night owls. However, Piaro felt certain that… something was approaching. Was he mistaken? No. Piaro farmed using the power of the sun, the earth, the water, and the wind. His keen senses precisely captured the changes in the atmosphere.

“Over there!”

He knew it. Piaro could hear the cry of a woman coming from far away. Her silent footsteps seemed like she was secretly approaching, but her shout showed that wasn’t the case.

‘It was a subconscious hiding of her presence...’

It was at a considerably good level. The moment Piaro felt admiration...
