Buy the Land And Cultivate in Different World

happy to see their work done without their notice, but it’s still eerie.

“We always plan ahead on what work we’re going to do.
But seeing that work completed on the day itself leaves us jobless and with too much time to spare.”

You’re so industrious, Gobukichi.

You’re actually uncomfortable having free time.

“All right.
As the owner of this farm, I’ll solve this mystery!”

“My Lord!!!”

Thus, I began searching for this mystery fieldwork agent.

As for the plan I thought up…

“Lying in wait?” asked Gobukichi, who was hiding with me by the side of the field at night.

It was completely dark, so I can’t rely on my eyesight.

“The culprit…”

It’s hard to say if we can even call our target a criminal.

We can’t conclude for sure whether or not we’re up against a human in this fantasy world.

“…Anyway, the person behind all of this strikes during midnight when everyone is fast asleep, right?”

“Yessir.
Hence, we’ve never caught sight of them working on the scene.
It’s always early morning when we would find out.”

“So, we’ll ambush them in the dead of night when we’re most likely to catch our target red-handed! I know you’re sleepy, but let’s do our best to stay awake together!”

“Mumble, mumble…”

He’s already asleep!

Is he some kind of baby?!

Oh, well.
He works tirelessly as the goblin team’s leader all day long.

On top of that, I’m making him stay up late with me.
I’ll let him sleep until something happens.

“…Hm?”

As soon as I said that, something happened right away.

The soil at the field’s fallow area started rising, and then something crawled out of it.

(WHAAAAAAAAT?!)

I couldn’t help but muffle a shriek at this sudden horror-like development.

However, what came crawling out under the soil were neither zombies nor dorotabo like those in horror movies.

They were little girls.

“Huh?”

I could tell from a glance that they were neither humans nor demons.

They’re too small to be considered human since their height looks like that of a medium-sized dog.
They were dragging hair behind their backs much longer than their overall height and were dyed in colorful shades of green and blue.

More of their kind keep crawling out of the ground.

This entire situation is becoming more and more horror-like, no matter how I look at it.

Once the girls reached a certain number, they exchanged looks and bowed to each other as if to say: “Let’s all do our best today.”

After that, they gave a hurrah to fire themselves up, and scattered in all directions.

They then started to pluck the weeds that were growing in the field.

There’s no doubting it.
It’s them.

“Got you!” I said as I came out of hiding.

“WAAAAAH!!!”

As soon as they took notice of me, they started moving about in confusion.

Even though they tried running away, they didn’t know where to go.
There were some who blindly ran around in the dark and ended up hitting each other on the forehead and losing consciousness.

“Hyah!!! Is it morning already?!”

Gobukichi was startled awake by the sudden noise.

Aw, that was kind of cute.
