The light pickup window was wide open, so the passenger seat was bathed in a wind that had a bit scent of exhaust gas as the light pickup traveled through the highway. Then Shinji, who was in the driver seat, began to talk, “That reminds me”.
「Does the farmer that you helped use Tractors? Since if one was unlucky, it could cause serious injuries, so if they do use it, then you need to be careful, kay.」(Shinji)
「They didn’t tractor or any machine. Because they didn’t have anything other than hoe and shovel.」(Kazura)
「Is that so?...... Don’t you have any plans to help them on the things they use?」(Shinji)
「Mm...」(Kazura)
Hearing Shinji’s question, Kazura unintentionally began to think about the future of Grisea Village.
By using machines, it was possible to plow a vast extent of land in one sitting, so it could greatly reduced the work burden of the villagers.
However, thanks to the food that Kazura brought from this world, the villagers had transformed into supermen who didn’t know the meaning of being tired, so the machinery power was currently unrequired.
In addition, there wasn’t any reason to plough the field hurriedly either and currently the vegetable were growing very well, so Grisea Village didn’t need any further agricultural support.
And above all, rather than waterwheel, by bringing the personification of overtechnology, like a tractor, if by any chance it were seen by outsiders, then there would be no good excuses for it.
「No, it’s not like I particularly don’t plan to help them, but it is already adequate with just using hoes.」(Kazura)
When Kazura replied like this, Shinji was feeling relieved for some reason and murmured.
「Is that so?」(Shinji)
Seeing Shinji like this, Kazura thought that he worried too much when his son already was 25 years old, however maybe it was something that parents would do.
Since Kazura was the only child, his parents were maybe just very concerned about him.

「Welcome home. It’s hard to help on the field, right?」(Mutsumi)
When they arrive at the house and entered the house, Kazura’s mother Mutsumi[3] came to greet them in the entryway.
Unlike Shinji, Mutsumi didn’t have a single lock of white hair, even though her age was just like Shinji, whom was 54 years old, her skin was still smooth so she was considerably youthful.
Is it because she always paid attention on her dietary habits, or was it the latent power of a woman, whom was never negligent in taking care of her skin?
「I’m back. I drove long distance from Gunma, and then went to the field, so I of course am tired.」(Kazura)
While saying this, Kazura took off his shoes and noticed a delicious smell, wafting from inside the house.
It appears that the dinner was sukiyaki.
「AraOh my, haven’t you became a bit thinner? Have you been eating well?」(Mutsumi)
「I wish you would say that I have lost the useless fat, and became muscular instead. I do always properly eat my meal.」(Kazura)
While showered by his mother’s gaze, who was scrutinizing his body, Kazura entered the house and after washing his hand, together with Shinji, they move to the living room.
On top of the table which was in the living room, was a pot of boiling sukiyaki, raw eggs and the meal for 3 people was already been prepared.
After Mutsumi finished distributing the rice into the bowls, everyone clasped their hand and said,
「Itadakimasu」
Then, they took the sukiyaki on the pot with their chopstick.
「Nee, it had been almost one month since you went to Gunma, how long do you intend to stay in that residence?」(Mutsumi)
It had been a long time since he tasted his house’s flavor so Kazura was chomping the sukiyaki vigorously. Mutsumi asked him this, as she took out additional meat from the refrigerator.
「I still want to stay at that residence a little bit longer. Since one thing or another I also enjoy the country life, and there also no one who comes begging for money for the time being.」(Kazura)
Since he traveled to the residence in Gunma, he was able to completely shake off the fellows who gathered for his lottery winning money, there was not a single person that intruded on him in that residence.
Since he only came back to Japan once per week and was practically living on the other world, this might be one of the main cause for this condition.
Either way, since Kazura had became familiar with living at Grisea Village and is fully enjoying the slow life of the other world, he wanted to continue this life of 90% in another world and 10% in Japan.
「Is that so?...... However, please contact the house once in awhile. The area of that residence is deep in the mountains, so even if you carry a handphone you would barely get any signals. It seems that you were able to connect with Shinji’s handphone by chance today.」(Mutsumi)
「She’s right. You would never make any contact with us, and make us worry. Even if it was just once per month, do give us a call, okay?」(Shinji)
