places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are now an integral part of the landscape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During winter, these slimes seek refuge indoors in houses and warehouses to avoid freezing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, inside my mansion, only the wine slime or pure white holy slime dare venture as far as my kotatsu in my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s what I thought…..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until an odd slime appeared inside my kotatsu in my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its color was transparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But bubbles were forming within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rising from the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fizzing away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bubbles seemed familiar to me—carbonated water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this slime be a carbonated slime?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the excessive consumption of carbonated water led to this transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it doesn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t fuss over a slime’s changes at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I have this one concern,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s bubbling, does that mean it’s constantly releasing carbon dioxide into the surroundings?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it safe to leave it inside the kotatsu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you alright?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, so you inhale and exhale the surrounding air, maintaining a consistent level of carbon dioxide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it even purifies the air by solidifying and expelling impurities it absorbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this pebble-like substance a result of your condensing air pollution?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this pebble, given time, will naturally return to the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what exactly constitutes air pollution?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it some complex substance with a difficult name?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I were to give this pebble to Loo, would she appreciate it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, this is just solidified dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s essentially dirt but big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, since you’re always hardening one, I’ll ask Loo later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, it’s destined for the trash bin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger Sougetsu walked with Miel, Rael, Uel, and Gael riding on its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are as close as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sougetsu, now fully covered in winter fur, looked incredibly fluffy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I stroked Sougetsu’s back, Miel and the others watched my hand intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I understood their gaze—it wasn’t a request for petting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were vigilantly ensuring I didn’t do anything strange to Sougetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, I wouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d just pet it normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thoroughly petting Sougetsu, I took turns giving Miel and the others gentle strokes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mieru and the others also have winter fur?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, this feels more like… fat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was scratched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around the ranch area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow hasn’t yet accumulated, but the wind is cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the horses, cows, and goats seem unfazed, leisurely going about their business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the pegasuses and unicorns appear lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although, a few of them are equipped with horse clothes—those plain, practical coverings meant more for warmth than fashion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they dislike the cold, they stick close to the stable while walking in circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, you were chased out of the stables during cleaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t be too upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the snow falls, getting out won’t be easy even if you wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We also need to make sure that we can clean it while we can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll lend a hand with the cleaning to speed things up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll also inspect the stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of autumn, the beast girls working in the ranch area diligently inspect and maintain the horse, cow, and goat barns. But that doesn’t mean I can skip my rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any trouble arises, the horses and cows could suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hnn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young horse without a blanket approaches, calling over one of the beast girls who’s busy cleaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast girl observes the young horse’s behavior and responds,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「A goat collapsed? Understood. You three, follow me!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast girl mounts the young horse and gallops off, followed by three other beast girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, the horses and cows here are smart. If there’s an issue, they’ll surely communicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I shouldn’t take that for granted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, perhaps I should go too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There might be some heavy lifting involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast girls are probably stronger but I’ll go just in case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goat ran and collided with the fence. Immediately after, it loses consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the beast girl arrived, the goat woke up, but as a precaution, it was taken back to the goat shed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I’ve told the goats, they just don’t listen. When the beast girl speaks, they obey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it’s due to the difference in care provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll make an effort to visit the ranch area more often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, let’s clean up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll do my best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one of the mansion rooms, the angels were exercising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sit-ups, squats, dumbbell curls, and jump rope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, angels gain fat on their wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not a bad thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being active beats staying in the kotatsu all day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are also those who are doing some shadow combat in an empty space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know who the supposed opponent is but it seems powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be Gran Maria?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing her performance in the martial arts tournament, they said they can’t afford to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think that kind of feeling is important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s cheer them on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although if it comes to actual combat, I’ll definitely be rooting for Gran Maria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them are jumping rope at high speed, but since they’ve placed a large board on the floor, there’s no need to worry about damaging it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swishing sound of the rope cutting through the air is quite pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, wait a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You there, the one jumping rope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re not jumping, you’re floating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s impressive that you can fly without extending your wings, but doesn’t that reduce it to merely spinning the rope?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it a wrist exercise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re fine with that, I won’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, no, I’m not scolding you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that Aegis, with his robust wings, has been eyeing you from the corner of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, he’s nodding his head saying it’s fine the way it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seems satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floating angel, despite her clumsiness, has now properly started jumping rope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t push yourself too hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her declaration that she’ll definitely lose weight echoes through the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I head over to Donovan, who’s enjoying his drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「What’s the matter, village chief?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you notice that Gutt and the others seemed down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Ah, about last night.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan, who had casually appeared at the forge, swung his sword in front of Gutt and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer elegance of his sword left Gutt and the rest feeling deflated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems like they didn’t get the job done today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「What? I’m just motivating them a little.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Here, we have an environment where we can freely use abundant high-quality materials for forging. They shouldn’t take it for granted. They have to strive for improvement daily.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gutt and the others are working hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「But because of that, they sometimes lose their way. Doing the same thing repeatedly can make growth feel stagnant.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「We’ve all been down that path. That’s why I provided some stimulation.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it like a cheer from predecessors to successors?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Exactly. I also demonstrated techniques they hadn’t yet acquired. It’s not harassment.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「By the way, I showed them those techniques now because they’ve developed a foundation to receive them. When they first arrived in this village, their skills weren’t up to par yet.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I-is that so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they feel overwhelmed by the difference in skill or daunted by the long road ahead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Don’t worry about it. They won’t be crushed by something like this. Starting tonight—or perhaps even from this very evening—the sounds from the forge will grow louder.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s look forward to Gutt and the others’ efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>",1272,"2026-06-05T23:08:36.483Z",1,"novelbin.me","bfa93108243bbf757483bb8aff20bee40610be46ac8b494cb21dad5c7fee1dbb","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-858","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-856",1036,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fisekai-nonbiri-nouka-cover.jpg"]
