Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Behold! Mining hammers!

"Truthfully speaking my noble family is composed of miners. Even though we use a stone to gain different materials, we can't break a lot of minerals due to their toughness."

Remembering back on the tutorial I nodded consenting to his valid argument.

'Without proper tools that would hardly be possible, even I had a rough time getting the first yellow stones.'

I extended my right hand stopping in front of his face and compelling him to close both eyes, thinking that another slap was coming.

"Four mining hammers out."

Like the command mentioned, tools appeared in front of him, surprising him as his eyes opened from the sound they made upon falling,  "these are!?"

"They're part of one of the recipes my skill has received, luckily for you as Mielle hasn't got that luck. I want you to try them in those mines of yours, do keep in mind that some materials probably won't break even by using these so don't force it."

He picked two and gave the other two to a woman behind who bowed obediently, remaining silent.

"Do show me some of the materials you're able to mine they may be useful to making my powers reach higher heights."

"Of course princess. I will be back once I have found useful things to show you."

Remembering something important I questioned him by pointing a finger at his figure, "what's your name?"

This time around the man didn't close his eyes as he felt acknowledged to some extent, instead the man answered immediately, "my name is Fobby and this is my wife Marta."

He placed his arm around her neck, bowing in unison like a good couple.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both. When the hammers look really damaged bring them back to me as I can fix them. You're dismissed."

They smiled relieved taking long steps towards the door then flew away leaving the door open. 

'Once I discipline them like this and then grace them with some help they will surely grow fonder of me, and take me seriously as I'm still a kid in their eyes.' 

I sighed, displeased by having to build a foundation from the start, returning my sight to Mielle, and walking in her direction.

"What did you bring me?"

"I've brought five different seeds that we use in the field, they're in these barrels."

I approach them, each barrel being around 20 cm tall and 5 cm wide, having a hard time taking a peek and unable to fly like the rest. At this, Mielle placed a chair in front of me, allowing me to climb it and see what it was.

'It's tough being tiny, not like they're much bigger than myself, but still...' Once at the top I gazed inside noticing white little curvy things.

"These... are these white beans?"

"I'm surprised you know of it, and yes they are."

Quickly I picked one up along with some soil, dirtying two fingers, causing a voice to pop up in my mind. To that, I grinned happily, filled with hope. 

System: New crafting recipes have been unlocked.

Mielle felt a twist in her heart, trying to figure out if I was able to obtain something significant from the different expression that was displayed. 'The princess smiling? Did she figure something out?' 

Upon the system message I, too, thought excitedly about the new possibilities wishing for them to be what her servant needed, 'show me the new recipes immediately.'

Tools:

Fork - Yellow Stone Edge x2 | Oak Wood Stick x1
Hoe - Yellow Stone Edge x2 | Oak Wood Stick x1

"Damn... yes!" From the excited tone of my voice, Mielle placed a hand on her heart, feeling the unease within to disperse.

'Last time I tried to do two different craftings with stone and it didn't work. How about crafting 2 oak wood sticks?'

System: Material queue already in use.

'Hum... It doesn't work, too bad. This means I can only have a lot of things going on as long as they're from different categories I suppose. Even then it already saves a lot of time. Speaking of which, clock, let's check that progress list.'

Clock:

1:22:36 PM

Progress list:

Materials - Yellow Stone Plank x23 - 10 minutes left

'Still a bit longer left, might as well check everything she brought.' 

After a long while, the queue finished and by then I had finalized checking every barrel, in them, I found beans, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbages, carrot, and turnip seeds. On the rest of them, there was a bit of soil with already grown small vegetables. Certainly, these were miniatures compared to the real thing. Perhaps a special propriety of the soil of this forest or of the farmer's job, since the flowers retained their normal size. Most of them anyway.

'I'll have to find a replacement for this stone and wood soon otherwise I'll end up running out.' My indigo eyes caught Mielle who was filled with a very expectant expression and anxiety. The nervousness was to such a degree that her hands could be seen trembling nonstop. Without wanting to punish the woman in any way a declaration came forth causing everyone to go in awe.

"Your wish will come true today!" Tears ran down instantly through Mielle's cheeks causing a chain reaction to the younger ones behind, possibly her family members. Such was the overjoyed and glorification of such a statement. The possible end of an era that lasted a millennium for farmers. A torturous time that felt everlasting through countless generations.

With such an accomplishment, I headed outside to feel the fresh air as the family hugged one another singing praises about me. The rest felt moved by my gesture, starting to discuss all sorts of ideas about my little wish.
