Chapter 18: Innovative Gardening

Yes.

It was, indeed, a very big hole.

I stared, wide-eyed, at the destruction that a single mailbox had wrought to a significant section of the building.

True, it was no great loss. The design was uninspired and the paintwork dire.

But it was still a building …

And I'd just levelled a part of it!

My [Spring Breeze] could be used to assail walls with mailboxes!

The realisation did nothing but elicit feelings of horror in me.

I stared with my mouth wide open, then coughed as I waved away some of the dust with my sword.

To … To think that my delicate gardening technique could be used to cause such devastation! A mailbox was significantly heavier than a beetle, fire breathing or common garden variety! And I'd just sent it hurtling through a wall!

A wall which was now entirely rubble!

C … Clearly, the wall had been severely lacking in structural integrity to be blown down by a mailbox! Yet even so, mere contact with a mailbox propelled by my gardening technique shouldn't cause it to tear down so violently, should it?! Had construction standards truly festered so much over the years?!

No, no, no … dilapidated or not, this wasn't the slums of the docks district, where shacks were raised on whatever flotsam and jetsam rolled up on the shoreline.

This was the merchant's quarter! A pale cry from the noble district where the embassies and the most famed artisans lived, true. But it met a standard that was within reach of the common classes!

This … This was dangerous.

Using my [Spring Breeze] carelessly could result in a housing crisis! If a peasant saw me easily hurling a mailbox through a wall, then that would be it! Why would they ever opt to raise themselves from hardship and poverty if they thought their years of toil wouldn't even result in a house with a functional exterior?

Because the alternative, that I could launch postal infrastructure through walls using my favoured anti-caterpillar technique was absurd!

Absurd and … somewhat useful … ?

… Why, if I’d known I could use it to lift more than insects, I would have also used it to lift away the badgers and the hedgehogs invading my garden too! If I could propel mailboxes, then didn't it stand to reason that I could also propel similarly sized creatures?

Could … Could it be that I'd unexpectedly developed a highly multi-purpose pest and rodent remover?

Rather, how far did my innovative gardening technique stretch? I'd never needed to use [Spring Breeze] on anything greater than those death beetles before! Would I also be able to do away with the colony of shrews digging holes in my orchard? What was the largest garden mammal I could feasibly evict?

Perhaps … Perhaps I could even use it to shoo away emaciated peasants?!

Why, the functionality was even greater than I intended!

I ...

I was a genius!

“Oh … ohoho … C-Coppelia!”

“Mmh?”

“Could … Could it be that my finely honed gardening technique is actually rather powerful?! There weren't even any death beetles this time! And the mailbox most definitely didn't explode!”

My future handmaiden said nothing.
