Chapter 1482 Visiting the Home of a Person from the Same Homeworld ?
This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu
Shigenobu-san has been living in this world for more than half a centuryā¦ā¦ Well, this world doesnāt have the concept of centuries, but in any case, he has been living in this world for a long time and told us many interesting stories.
What particularly caught my interest was the foodstuff from the other worldā¦ā¦ from the world we were in.
[Speaking of interesting stories, do you know of ripples?]
[Yes, of course.]
[You ever wondered whatās the case with that? Have you ever wondered why other fruits like oranges and grapes have the same names as in our world, but a few ingredients, including ripples, have names unique to this worldā¦ā¦]
[Indeed, now that you mentioned it, it is strange? If there had been more names unique to this world, it would have been understandable butā¦ā¦]
Aoi-chan nodded in agreement with Shigenobu-sanās words. Itās true that most of the things unique to the other world have the same name, but even if some of them are names that have been passed down from our world, it may be strange that most of them have the same name as our world.
However, I remember hearing about this story a little while ago. If Iām not mistaken, they originally had a different name, but it seems that it has changed over the years to match the names from our world so that it would be easier for those playing the role of Heroā¦ā¦ but there are some items such as ripples that couldnāt be changed because of some reasonsā¦ā¦
[I donāt remember when I heard about this, but they said that they intentionally changed it to match the names of our world to make it easier for the people playing the role of Hero to adapt themselves?]
[Ohh, youāre quite knowledgeable. Thatās right, by the time I played the role of Hero, most of the names were those Iām familiar with, but the one guiding me asked me to tell them if there were any names that were different.]
[Arehh? Then, why arenāt ripples called apples?]
[There are many theories about that. Like, itās a name that had deep connections to conservative races in the Demon Realm and canāt be changed, or because itās used as a symbol of a large historical company, or because itās the name of a cityā¦ā¦ Some foodstuffs have circumstances that make it difficult for their names to be changed, so their names remain as they were.]
For some reason, someone with an important position was quite particular about the name ripple and didnāt want it to be changed or something like that. However, in my personal opinion, I think it would be better if there were some foodstuffs with other world-like names.
In fact, Iām now so comfortable with the name ārippleā that I may feel uncomfortable hearing someone refer to them as āappleā.
[When you think about it that way, I guess people here are being considerate of the people with the role of Hero in various ways.]
[Yeah, each country produces a certain amount of rice, and with this area being one of the few areas oriented to producing rice in Hydra Kingdom, this place receives subsidies from the government.]
Shigenobu-san nodded at the words Aoi-chan earnestly said. Certainly, the fact that they would take care of various situations so that people that take the role of Hero, or rather, the otherworlders can easily spend their time here, so this world feels comfortable to us.
While this place does feel like another world, there are few cases where common sense is too different to follow, and I think the balance is really wonderful.
Thereupon, I suddenly remembered something and decided to ask Shigenobu-san about it.
[Come to think of it, you mentioned how you became a farmer, does that mean youāre growing rice?]
[Ahh, no, Iām not cultivating rice. I donāt have much knowledge about farming, so what Iām doing is more like an extension of my hobby. I donāt make a living with it.]
[We have some savings from the past, and since itās just us two, it doesnāt cost much.]
Shigenobu-san smiled wryly as he said this, to which Hannah-san agreed with a smile.
I thought he became a rice farmer because of his experience as an otherworlder, but that didnāt seem to be the case.
But well, now that he mentioned it, itās not like me being Japanese could mean I can grow rice in another worldā¦ā¦ Nope, thatās not possible. I only have enough knowledge to make rice paddies, and the chances of me earning enough for me to make a living out of it are low.
[I have a rather large garden, and what I grow are vegetables. When I grew radishes, carrotsā¦ā¦ and burdocks though, she gave me a strange look.]
[ā¦ā¦No, I mean, when I saw those for the first time, I thought those were tree roots.]
[Well, burdock isā¦ā¦ It certainly is considered a tree root in some foreign countries even in the world we live in.]
Japanese people really eat just about anything, so there are times when they eat things that foreigners found surprising. If I were to compare it among my acquaintances, Raz-san also grows vegetables, but the scale of Raz-sanās field is just different. The vastness of her field is on another level, and it seems that even the large number of families living in Kuroās castle canāt consume it all, thus her vegetables were being distributed here and there.
Raz-san likes to grow vegetables so much that she ends up producing too manyā¦ā¦ I recently learned that Razās vegetables are being distributed within a brand known to those in the know as āFairy Vegetablesā. However, itās valuable because theyāre basically only wholesaled to acquaintances.
[While weāre on the subject, why donāt we take a look at the farm?]
[Is that alright? By all means then.]
Shigenobu-san agreed to show us the fields, and the three of us followed Shigenobu-san and Hannah-san as they stood up and moved to the back of the house.
