I Grow Crops with a System

"I really don’t know what to say about them."

Leon let out a long sigh, watching the three elves sneak glances at him while stuffing Candied Sweet Potatoes into their mouths, his eyes went wide with anger.

The three elves felt the chill of that glare, they turned their heads away and focused intently on polishing off the Candied Sweet Potatoes.

Ethan smiled and shook his head. "As long as everyone is okay, that’s all that matters, but I didn’t expect you to come down so quickly, isn’t there still some time before our agreed-upon trade date?"

"Yeah, I came down early, all because of these three idiots..." Leon said.

"Don’t be mad, they know they messed up, right?" Ethan turned to the three elves.

"O-Of course."

"We won’t ever dare to do it again."

"Yeah, really..."

Seeing Ethan speak up for them, the three elves quickly offered apologetic smiles.

Leon glared at them, but out of respect for Ethan, he held his tongue.

"Anyway, as long as they’re fine," Ethan said.

"Yeah, I heard you already contacted Zharok..."

"That’s right. I used this to contact him." Leon pulled a crystal ball from his coat and handed it to Ethan.

"As long as you inject mana into this crystal ball, you can communicate with anyone holding an identical one."

"Oh, I see."

Ethan took the crystal ball.

’Is this thing like a cell phone?’ It required injecting mana to use, for him, it was pretty much useless.

"I know how to use this, meow~"

Pearl, full and content, jumped onto Ethan’s shoulder, it closed its eyes, and after a moment, the crystal ball emitted a soft glow.

"Yes, this way you can contact me, I didn’t expect a cat to actually be able to use magic..." Leon looked at Pearl with surprise.

"This is a blessing from Lady Witch, meow~" Pearl wagged its tail proudly.

Leon studied the cat, then nodded and pointed at the crystal ball. "If you need other crops, or need any help, you can use this to contact me."

"Isn’t that Zharok’s job? If I do this, wouldn’t I be stealing his work?" Ethan asked.

"I’ve already discussed it with him, it’s fine, do you have any new crops lately?"

"That’s good, I recently discovered a new crop called Vitality Cabbage, and I also plan to plant wheat..."

"Wheat?" Leon’s voice softened.

"Ever since humans disappeared, no one has grown wheat... That’s truly wonderful."

"Do the elves not grow wheat?"

"We only gather naturally growing plants, planting and harvesting are things only humans do."

"I see, if the wheat cultivation is successful, we can trade."

"Haha, then we’d be getting a great deal, by the way, the things you requested will be delivered tomorrow."

Earlier than scheduled, but Ethan didn’t mind, the more spices and seasonings he had, the richer his life would be.

He nodded and pointed at the Candied Sweet Potatoes. "Want to eat some together?"

"Then I won’t decline."

Ethan made a fresh batch for Leon, Leon was polite at first and only meant to take a taste, but after one bite, he couldn’t stop.

"Wow... This... is too delicious..." He praised while ravenously devouring them.

The Canine Beastmen, full and content, stood up.

"We’re going to go find Zharok."

"Can’t you use the crystal ball to contact him?" Ethan asked.

"We tried, but it seems he didn’t bring his crystal ball with him."

’Typical.’ Ethan clicked his tongue and nodded to them.

After the Canine Beastmen left, the shelter grew much quieter.

"We’ll go wash the dishes." Eric, Rude, and Caesar picked up the empty plates and headed toward the river.

Leon watched them and said with a wry smile, "They were truly terrified this time, I didn’t expect them to actually take the initiative to do chores!"

"Haha... Oh right, there’s one more thing, I used that holy sword for a bit, it’s incredibly effective," Ethan said.

"Haha, that is the holy sword of the elves, after all, what did you use it for?"

"I used it to kill a Lich."

"Is that so..." Leon blinked.

"What? A Lich?!"

Ethan didn’t hide anything, he recounted how the Lich appeared, how he used Wrath of the Earth to defeat it, and how he finished it off with the holy sword.

Leon glared at the three elves washing dishes.

"...Just wait until we get back, I’ll deal with you then..."

"They didn’t do it on purpose, so don’t be too hard on them," Ethan said.

"But a Lich... Sigh, it’s truly a miracle you’re alright, by the way, Wrath of the Earth sounds incredibly powerful."

"It’s very powerful."

"Haha, if I get the chance, I’d like to see it for myself, it seems you are very suited to wielding the holy sword, that’s wonderful."

They chatted for a while longer before Eric and the others returned from washing dishes, Leon shot them a dissatisfied glare.

"By the way, Eric, aren’t you a noble..." Ethan looked at Leon.

"And Leon, you treat them way too casually, could it be that you are also a noble?"

"Yes. I am also a noble, and furthermore, I am their teacher," Leon replied.

"I see."

’No wonder he can discipline them.’ It all made sense now.

At that moment, Leon glanced toward Eric, and Eric hurried to speak. "T-Teacher, did you know? Ethan can make something called pottery."

"Pottery? What is that?"

"It’s this." Ethan brought out a piece.

Leon examined it carefully, his eyes lighting up. "This is truly beautiful... Such delicate colors, such perfect shaping... Although it looks similar to glass, it’s also quite different..."

"Amazing, isn’t it? Our family has decided to trade glass in exchange for this pottery, is that acceptable, Mr. Ethan?" Eric asked.

Ethan nodded.

Leon looked at him in surprise. "Trading something this precious for mere glass... Ethan, aren’t you taking a bit of a loss?"

"It’s not troublesome to make, and besides, I can make even better ones."

"Even better than this?!" The pottery was already perfect, and he could make something better?

"You are truly amazing..."

"It’s no big deal, by the way, the kind of glass I need is like this..."

Ethan wanted flat glass panes, he planned to use flat glass to build windows for his house, as well as a future greenhouse, he drew a diagram on the ground and described the shape of the flat glass to Eric.

"Completely transparent glass... Hmm, making transparent glass will take some time, but it’s not impossible." Eric thought for a moment.

"That’s wonderful, I’ll leave it to you, I will frequently need flat glass in the future, so it’s best if you prepare in advance."

"No problem, however, why do you need so much flat glass?" Eric asked.

"To build windows for a house, and a greenhouse."
