Chapter 79: Day by Day, the Stalks Rose

Day by day, the stalks rose higher out of the wheat beds, and verdant green ears began to spread from their tips. Belgrieve had seen this same scenery for decades now. Eventually, green would turn to gold, and once the crops were ready for harvesting, the air would be filled with the spirit of summer.

Ultimately, the next few days passed uneventfully, and none of his fears were realized. The sunlight still shone down as it always did, and there was no flood of fiends from the forest to besiege the village. In fact, there were no traces of fiends at all. It was so peaceful, it was almost like the grayhund attack had been a dream.

Yet Mit was still fearful, and be it day or night, he would always cling tightly to Belgrieve and Graham. This was clearly unnatural, and it kept everyone on edge as they did their work. In the field behind the house, Charlotte watched with a perplexed face as a jug of spirits was diluted with water.

“What are you going to do with that?”

“This liquor here has had hera fruit steeping in it. That turns it into a nice bug repellent.”

Belgrieve gestured for her to take a whiff. Mixed in with the sweet smell of alcohol was a nasal-piercing stench. Charlotte reeled back and rubbed her nose.

“That stings!”

“Ha ha, doesn’t it? It’s quite effective. You can use it as a medicine too.”

Belgrieve chuckled as he further diluted the concentration. Then, using a ladle to scoop it out, he splashed it over the vegetable stalks that had begun to grow tall. As for the insects that were already on the leaves, he had to pick them off and crush them by hand.

“So now the bugs won’t have to die...”

“Yeah, you wouldn’t want to eat a poison that kills bugs, right? This will just stop them from coming from now on. It makes quite a difference... Do you want to help out, Mit?”

He turned the conversation to Mit, who was riding on the back. Mit timidly nodded before clambering down to the ground. With a smile, Charlotte grabbed his hand.

“Let’s do it together!”

“Yeah...” Mit’s expression softened a bit as he scattered the concoction with Charlotte.

It’s nice to have children around at times like these, Belgrieve mused as he stooped over to begin plucking the weeds.

They had already been working for a good while before Byaku came over from the house. “Hey, old man. You got a guest.”

“Hmm? Who is it...?” Belgrieve turned and noticed Sasha standing behind Byaku. She looked as energetic as ever.

“Good morning, Master! Sorry for bothering you in the middle of your work.”

“Oh, not at all. You’re welcome anytime. I’m ashamed I have to greet you in these dirty clothes.”

Belgrieve stood up and bowed, with Charlotte doing likewise. A tepid mid-day wind picked up small swirling clouds of dust around them.

“It’s getting hotter every day,” Sasha remarked, wiping sweat from her brow.

“Yes, it’s been unusually hot lately.”

Summer was
