When they dug out the potato 20 days ago, the potato was only as big as an M sized egg on the supermarket[1].
Even so, currently it had grown into as big as infant’s size.
If he visually examined the potato in front of him, he would only thought that the potato was something that become bigger with a slower growth rate, not under 20 days.
The potato skin seems to grow together with the potato tuber itself, so it was curiously lacked any crack or fissure.
From the story he had heard from Valetta, one seedling of this type of potato could bear 5 tubers.
Even if the number of the tuber didn’t increase, he had no doubt that currently the soil under this village’s field were packed full by giant potatoes.
Kazura scoop out the boiled potato with his spoon, moved it towards his mouth, and then stopped.
He placed down his spoon and stared at the potato.
「Is something wrong?」(Valetta)
「No, I am just a bit bothered……」(Kazura)
Valetta tilted her head as Kazura begun to speak seriously.
「…… If I feel full after eating this, then doesn’t mean that this food will have the same effect as the food I had brought? I am bothered by this.」(Kazura)
「Same effect……」(Valetta)
Hearing Kazura’s explanation, Valetta immediately made a surprised expression after guessing the meaning of those words.
Perhaps he was thinking about what will happen if the vegetables grown using the fertilizer that Kazura had brought and it have the same effect as the food that Kazura brought from Japan.
「By eating it, you become less likely to be fatigued and have increased strength, this effect, right?」(Valetta)
「Yes. If it really have this effect then we need to be careful in how we use the crops from this village…… Oh no, what to do with the agriculture revival that I had promised. It will become impossible to distribute the compost……」(Kazura)
If the village crops also exhibited the same effect with Japan’s food, then it will be bad if the crops were collected as the village’s tax to Isteria.
The people who ended up eating it would acquire an extreme physical recovery effect and ended up with a physical enhancement.
However, from the experience of the villagers who had eaten the Japan’s food, he understood that the physical enhancement didn’t happened immediately after consuming the food.
When the villagers first mentioned, 「We hardly feel tired」 and 「We can transport heavier things than before」, it was when they had consumed the food for more than 2 weeks.
Furthermore, when he travelled to Isteria together with Valetta, Lodurr and the others, Lodurr’s daughter Myra who accompanied the group also showed some degree of fatigue when walking.
Taking these events into the conclusion, it can be surmised that the physical enhancement need at least several days of continuous consumption of Japan’s food.
There might be individual variation, but it was clear that the immediate physical enhancement didn’t occur immediately after eating it.
「……Kazura-san, are your stomach is hungry right now?」(Valetta)
「Yes, I’m hungry.」(Kazura)
「Then, can you try to eat several potatoes and boiled egg and then observe if there are any change? If you feel full after eating them, then it can means that the food’s nature has changed.」(Valetta)
Kazura nodded at Valetta’s suggestion and brought the spoon with the potato to his mouth.
