The next day, after breakfast, Naoki called in the gopher and prepared to carve out a separate plot of land in the southeast corner of the ranch to grow sunflowers.

Eating the sandwich given by Naoki, the gopher felt full of strength.

Its eyes were full of perseverance, and when Naoki had planned the area for it to cultivate, the gopher moved.

It retracts its head into the ground, moving rapidly below in uncanny motion.

Naoki was very interested in the gopher farming, so he didn't go anywhere, just stood on the lawn and watched.

As the gopher passed, bags of soil bulged out on the originally flat land, like a complete ridge.

As a result, the surrounding soil becomes soft, making it the most suitable field for farming.

Minutes and seconds passed, and it took about forty minutes for the field to be turned over.

The gopher was so tired that it sweated, it broke through the ground, exhaled a breath of turbid air tiredly, and then showed an excited expression on its little face.

That's it!

How's that, not bad, right?

The gopher looked at its employer wistfully.

Seeing its appearance, Naoki couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, gopher, this is an orange fruit, you eat one first, and leave the rest to me!" ”

The gopher gladly accepted the fruit, and ran to the side, nibbling on the fruit while watching the tree go about its work.

Unlike wheat, each sunflower plant needs to be separated by a longer distance so that they can fully absorb the nutrients in the soil and grow up healthy.

I planted a lot of land, and Naoki also accumulated some experience.

He first measured the distance between each ridge with his eyes, then dug through the soft soil with the palm of his hand, planted a sunflower seed, and so on.

By the time everything was done, it was half past ten in the morning.

The sun is shining and the air is getting hotter.

In this kind of weather, the crops in the field are very prone to drying up and lack of water.

Naoki calls the dragon and asks it to rain to nourish the fields and allow the sunflowers to grow healthily.

The fast dragon used Pray for Rain.

After a while, a light rain began to fall in the sky.

The gopher on the side was stunned.

It looked at the sky, then at the field, and its little furry face was full of doubts.

It's raining? Why is it raining in that area?

Naoki retreated to the gopher and watched as the dragon called for wind and rain.

He noticed the gopher's appearance and immediately explained to it, "This is a water-based move to pray for rain, and after using it, it will start to rain in the sky." ”

"Squeak." The gopher nodded dumbly.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, it barked at Naoki and turned around to lead the way.

"What's wrong?" Naoki raised his eyebrows in some surprise, then raised his heel.

Soon, he was led by the gopher to a wheat field with golden wheat.

This wheat is what Naoki prepares to keep to make malt and brew beer with hops and other ingredients.

The gopher ran to a stop next to the wheat field, and Naoki noticed that there was a small hole in the grass.

The gopher burrowed into the hole and poked its head out: "Squeak! ”

Seeing this, Naoki immediately went back to the house and took out a handful of melon seeds and began to swallow them.

"Say it again."

Although the gopher was puzzled, he said it again: "Squeak! (Yes...) From here... Call me... I hear... Come out! ）

Naoki understood, the gopher was telling him to call it from the hole in the future, it could hear it, and then it would run out of the ground.

"I see." He nodded.

"Squeak~" The gopher croaked twice more and then shrank into the hole.

The weather is too hot, and its body will become weaker and weaker by the sun all the time it stays outside.

"Then you can go back first!" Naoki understands this.

He then went to the utility room, made a small wooden sign out of planks, nails, and hammers piled up in the corner, and wrote the words "Gopher House" on it with a pen, and finally inserted the wooden sign next to the hole.

Looking at this scene, Naoki patted the ash on his hand with satisfaction.

Today, the farm work in the field is almost busy, and the weather is very hot, he doesn't want to stay outside, so he simply goes back to the house to watch TV and blow the air conditioner.

Many Pokémon such as Swift Dragon, Motorcycle Lizard, and Soleton are not afraid of cold or heat, and the hot weather has no effect on them, still running around on the grass outside, chasing each other.

The mount goat and Orinius stayed in the fence with a canopy on it, and they didn't feel hot for a while.

And the full sunlight is conducive to the photosynthesis of grass-type Pokémon and helps them grow.

The Frost Milk Fairy followed the five salt stone barriers to the cool underground cave to escape the heat, and did not forget to pull up the ice Ebu.

As a result, Naoki was the only one left in the room.

He was eating watermelon with the air conditioner blowing, leaning back in his chair and watching the Pokémon movie on the TV, and he was happy for a while.

It was only soon that this idleness was broken.

The fast dragon ran in from the outside, holding a wilting watermelon peel, and looked at Naoki aggrievedly.

At first, Naoki was still very confused, but when he saw the rotten watermelon skin in Kuailong's hand, he was a little speechless.

"I thought something terrible was going to happen, this thing was going to break."

Kuailong's eyes widened: "Woo woo woo! ”

Naoki lay back in his chair: "Don't worry, I'll just order a plastic watermelon helmet for you from the Internet when I go back." ”

However, after saying this, he realized that there was no such thing as online shopping in this world.

Naoki couldn't help but hold his forehead: "I'll take you to the toy store in the town in the evening to see if there are any watermelon helmets for sale." ”

Kuailong was satisfied: "Whew~"

Looking at its expression, Naoki added, "However, I'm not sure if I can help you with a plastic watermelon helmet." ”

After all, the dish describes a helmet item made of watermelon, not a watermelon-style helmet prop, and there is still a big difference between the two.

"Huh?" Kuailong was dumbfounded, and didn't know what to do for a while.

It looked down at the rotten watermelon skin on its paws, then at Naoki, and after thinking about it carefully, it said, "Whew......"

Forget it, anyway, it has been living in the pasture, and it doesn't need to fight in peacetime, so it's useless to ask for this helmet.

"Really?" Naoki raised an eyebrow.

Kuailong nodded earnestly, and explained the reason to Naoki with a whin.

"Okay." Naoki thought of the large pile of crops in the field that had not yet been harvested, and among them, there was a possibility that there would be mutant crops that could help Pokémon become stronger.

He said to the dragon, "But maybe soon I'll be able to find other ways to help you get stronger." ”

Naoki originally said casually and comforted Kuailong by the way, but he never thought that the next morning, a mutated crop was really born in the field.
