It's a beautiful story
If we want a fall festival, Chomuchomu is the clear choice.
The real fun is the Mikemike the night before, though.
What can you expect with the Mikemike spit-roast?
Right?
The makemuke wrapped mokemakemuke is hard to beat.
Except the mikemakemoke pulled mekimake is better.
Well actually, according to Mikemike tradition...
History is just made up, though.
I mean, you're not wrong.
I see everyone is worked up again.
What is all this talk of make and moke and all that?
Wait, you don't know? Neither do I.
I don't believe any amount of discussion will resolve this.
Right then.
Just like last time, you'll write down your ideas and we'll draw a winner.
Oh, and no more martial arts contests. We've done that already.
Okay then!
Hopefully it's something both fun for everyone and not dangerous at all.
Sliding
What does "sliding" mean?
It's a festival from the Bulgan region in which participants slide down hills.
Oh, a race to the bottom?
Yes, it's known for the brawny participants who crash into one another as they race.
That sounds incredibly dangerous.
Let's draw another.
Sliding
With seemingly no other choice,
I decided to plan out a safer sliding competition.
First and foremost, no intentional crashing.
No pushing! No running!
No pushing
SAFE
No running
No traps
First and foremost, no intentional crashing.
No traps! This will be safe!
And the brawny men?
Maybe we can open it up to more people.
Once we had our plan,
we had to set up the venue.
Since we have no hills or slopes near the village,
Potential Location
we had to start by making one.
We would dig a hole and build up a hill with all the soil, creating a slope.
Then we'd build a sliding course that went from the hill into the hole.
The work took days.
Okay...
that should do it.
It's much more impressive than I'd imagined.
Hardly anything like the sliding everyone was expecting, I bet.
But it was born from all our ideas
and will become a unique festival for our village.
Before long, it was time for the festival.
Welcome to the very first Great Tree Village Sliding Contest!
The rules were simple.
Contestants would slide down from the top of the mountain on boards,
then jump from the ramp on the edge of the hole.
The goal is to get the most distance.
Like ski jumping, in a sense.
Jump Distance
We assigned distance keepers
and a rescue team to stand watch around the pond.
Our first contestant is Ronana from Village Two!
Ready!
Since they would be landing in water, the contestants all wear bathing suits.
Can you make clothes people can get wet and swim around in?
Zabuton went straight to work...
when I asked for help.
Here I go!
Ronana has worked her way up to a slide.
Huh?
She didn't work up enough momentum.
With a bit more speed this time...
She has taken to the air!
Let's hear a round of applause for Ronana!
Next up is Daga.
Daga, launch!
What splendid board control!
I imagine this will be an incredible new record.
Thank you!
Next up is Flora!
Here goes!
A fantastic flip!
Unfortunately, she didn't travel far.
Here you go.
Let's do this!
Hup!
We saw great results and strange results
as all the participants gave us their best jumps.
I did it!
I'm ready!
Tia has taken to the air!
No, she's literally flying!
Is that allowed?
It probably shouldn't be.
No flying will be allowed.
What?!
Come now, Tia. Cheating is so unbecoming.
Next up is Lulucy!
She's in the air!
And bouncing!
Bouncing!
This should be a great record!
Oh, I think I could have done better.
Our next contestant is Sena!
However, she appears troubled...
What could this be about?
Is she afraid of heights?
This is so embarrassing!
Everyone can see my belly button!
That's what troubles her.
That sorta problem, huh?
It really doesn't seem much different from her usual outfit, but...
You don't have to do this if you don't want to!
She says she's still going!
I'm gonna try!
Here I go!
Let's hear a round of applause for Sena's courage!
Here we go!
Don't you worry!
Goodness, the three of them are going at once!
They may not break any records, but they did go the distance!
The crowd certainly seems pleased!
The people quite enjoyed that.
Well, then...
You're up next.
No! I can't swim!
Rashashi has come fully equipped.
I look like a child...
You don't have to do this if you don't want to!
If she jumps like that...
Rescue team, move out!
On it!
Hang in there!
Are you okay?
We had a bit of an incident,
but everything is all right now, and the contest will continue!
You're next.
Oh, but I'm much too busy working the mic.
Hurry up now.
Where has that trepidation gone?
Flow seems ready for action!
I think we can expect a new record!
Powers of the wind!
Yeah, that's not allowed.
Magic is not allowed!
Oh, these rules are so strict.
Back to our scheduled programming,
we have a true flying competitor, Lasty!
Hup!
What a show!
She only went up!
That concludes the competition.
Now for the results.
The winner is Daga!
No...
Huh?
It seems we have one more contestant.
Is that who I think it is?
Zabuton has entered the competition!
A last-minute addition?
So it would seem!
Zabuton.
Zabuton?
Zabuton!
Zabuton's spinning jump broke Daga's record.
And for some time the villagers enjoyed
trying to break the first champion's record.
First Champion Record Marker
Farming Life in Another World 2!
You can stand?!
Alfred is standing!
No way! Really?!
Oopsies!
Hup!
When did you learn how to do that?
I always say "hup" when I pick him up too.
He's sure getting heavy.
You used to be so tiny!
There you go.
Babies certainly grow up fast.
And then, one day...
Raaar!
Hey, why doesn't Alfred talk?
Huh?
True, I guess he hasn't started yet.
Not as far as any of us know.
I wonder when he'll start calling me Papa.
I'm sure "Mama" will come first.
Yeah? I wouldn't be so sure.
Right, he might say Aunty Flora first.
No, say Urza!
Aunty!
U-R-Z-A!
Enough of that.
He's still just a wee babe.
ANNE!
You do me a greater honor than I deserve.
Forgive me...
How about "Papa?"
Or "Mama!" Try it!
Zabu!
For some time after,
villagers flocked to see Alfred
in the hope he might say their name.
End of Line
I dozed off a bit.
It has been some time.
It has.
Thank you for coming out all this way.
I'd promised to bring thanks.
My son is healthy again thanks to the medicine you crafted for him.
I apologize that this has taken so long,
but here are the new residents you sought.
I've brought young men and women.
Oh!
Finally! At long last! We have more men!
This will finally solve our biggest problem: a lack of male residents!
Does this serve your needs?
Quite! Thank you.
Do you think they'll take us in?
Everything will be fine.
There's nothing to worry about.
Hey, I'm Hiraku, the mayor of the Great Tree Village.
I'm sure new places come with new anxieties,
but you have no need to worry.
We'll be departing now, then.
You could stay awhile.
I have plenty of work to attend to.
Yeah, huh?
Please look after them.
I will.
Let us depart.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll show you all around the village.
This should fulfill my promise.
A weight off my shoulders at last.
Oh, and what an effort it was.
Some Time Ago
Kingdom of Reywait - Fushuu's Estate
My name is Fuushu.
I am a great priestess of the Korin Church.
I now search for a way to give thanks to those who cured my son of his ailments.
Though giving thanks is primarily a show of gratitude,
I hope to also offer joy.
To do so, I chose to be straightforward and ask what they desire.
I see. They desire new residents for their village.
Please gather any who are interested.
Of course. Will slaves suffice?
Absolutely not.
What if they revolted in the Great Tree Village?
Shall I take some from the dungeons, then?
Why do you insist on such unsavory sorts?
Because you wish to send them to the Forest of Death!
Such is akin to a death sentence!
It is a location plagued with terrible rumors, yes.
But no ill tales of the village are true.
The people will surely understand once we explain that!
Settlers wanted! Move to the Forest of Death, a place full of potential!
No one has come forth.
Write what you will, the place is still called the Forest of Death.
That is true...
Why not select some from the town youth?
By "youth" he means those the city fosters and offers support to.
If you don't say where, and offer to grant them houses and fields,
many will show interest.
And so they gathered.
We asked only for those who had their own life partners.
But why do they appear so uneasy?
Do whatever you want to me, but let the others go!
Jack, you can't!
What is the meaning of this?
Quit trying to look cool.
"All must submit to Fushuu's headhunting.
Refuse, and the whole city will be massacred."
"Fuushu uses the viscera of children in her witchcraft."
I see...
And I would never!
What sort of monster do they take me for?
I will find whoever spread such lies and teach them their wrongs.
The candidates will be taught to read and write.
Let's see...
We all must approach one another in good faith.
At this rate, they will soon be fit to move anywhere.
The illegitimate child of a noble family?
According to our research, yes...
I looked into all of their backgrounds to avoid just this.
Thankfully, they seemed to take no interest in their roots.
To ensure no future troubles would arise,
I had the family stripped of their titles.
Seized Property
Any who cast out their children are not fit for nobility.
This should solve all our-
Lady Fuushu!
Or not.
There are two more children of nobles?
And the descendant of a neighboring kingdom now in exile?
Fine. We'll see to it all.
We saw to it the tyrant who held onto power in that kingdom was stripped of it.
Then there was the supposed descendant of a legendary brigand,
and someone who supposedly holds the power of a legendary blade within them.
Annihilated.
Anyway, we saw both the bandits and unscrupulous cult were swiftly eradicated.
Born to a sprite mother?
Dragon scales on their back?
These are of no concern. Trifling matters.
We are all different and deserving of love.
The one among them who had no history of concern
in turn seemed the most suspicious.
But in the end, he was truly but an ordinary man.
So, where is it we're going?
A place which will become your new homeland.
In the end,
I could never bring myself to reveal they would head for the Forest of Death.
Great effort was expended to get this far.
I want nothing but a joyous future for them all.
I will see to it the remaining supporters of the overthrown tyrant
are wiped out completely.
Now and forevermore the Church of Korin is an ally of the people!
We can...
really live here?
You sure can.
We'd rather everything we built not go to waste.
Igu and the others watched over Village One for us,
but without true residents, it seemed doomed to fall apart eventually.
Ruin.
I'm Mamu, and I will be looking after you!
Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help!
At Igu's recommendation, I assigned
I'm all for it.
Mamu to look after our new residents.
We'll all do our part to see they quickly grow accustomed to life here.
Sheesh! How does timber get this hard?
Sorry, can you slow down a tad?
What?!
Hurry up already.
My arms...
I looked away for a minute and a killer rabbit got in!
"How did creatures as weak as these survive to such an age?"
I could see Kuro's confusion in his eyes.
I saw to it we strengthened village security.
The new residents were not cut out for heavy manual labor,
and unaccustomed to farming.
Without my almighty farming tool, I'd be much the same.
Instead, we put their reading and writing skills to work
transcribing books and documents.
You put this here and...
there!
I also had wooden stamp presses made and set them to trying out printing.
If this works out, we might have our very own new industry here.
Some of them excel at art,
others at knitting.
As I learned more about what each of them could do...
Whoa.
I ask this of you.
Wow.
I asked for the help of a water sprite.
I can do the same with fire sprites.
If you can do water and fire, what about earth?
Their powers are weak here...
But I may be able to call a wood sprite!
Nothing happened.
That's strange.
I do sense its presence nearby.
Yaaaah!
A wood sprite-like race.
Nyunyu Daphne
I came to answer your call!
Thank you.
But I have nothing to ask of you right now.
Understood.
Until we meet again.
Never knew they could walk.
Sprite magic is a rarer sort of magic.
But for the most part, it merely adds slight convenience to daily chores.
Welcome to the Great Tree Village
Now that the new residents
have acclimated some, we're throwing a banquet for them.
Wait, is this all food?
It's so beautiful, I thought it was a decoration!
I thought the same the first time I saw it.
Everything will be ready shortly.
Are you sure we'll be okay?
Best stay away from them.
What's wrong?
You're afraid of the high elves?
Something the matter?
They think you're "man-eaters" who steal away young men.
That's a misunderstanding.
Stories like those come from some minor tribe of my people.
But we're nothing like those weaklings.
Okay?
The fact they were ever caught shows how pathetic they are.
If I were to do so, I would be much swifter.
Much!
I think you've only scared them more.
Don't worry. We can handle that right away.
Must have been rough.
Hmm?
What's up?
She just needs a bit of medical attention.
Oh, is she sick?
Nothing to worry about.
Urza.
Come with me, please.
Hmm? What's all this about?
You'll be all set now.
Back already? That hardly took a minute-
Wait, what's with that sword? Where did it come from?
Should she be holding that?!
Oh, it's Urza's earth golem.
"Don't worry, I'll see she puts it away."
Yeah?
Hey, Mayor.
What is it?
Do you know anything about that girl?
Not really. Do you know her?
Nope.
She just keeps looking at us, is all.
Oh, maybe...
My grandfather told me a story before.
There were once some people who drank dragon's blood,
and their descendants are called Dragon Maidens.
Maybe that means she could sense us?
Do these maidens have any special powers?
I guess they all have scales on their backs.
And they can calm angry dragons, I think?
Angry
How?
I dunno. Maybe they sing?
We should ask!
Hey, wait!
Hey!
Hi there. We're dragons.
I'm Lastismoon. You can call me Lasty.
So, what kinda songs do you sing?
Uhh? Whaaa?
Don't worry, they don't bite.
Lala lalalala...
