Chapter 146.1. Tourism Is Also A Resource

-Miu’s Dad POV-

Upon arriving at the Japanese inn, she led us to a room with tatami mats. The spacious room had a connected bedroom, and it even had a private open-air bath. It seemed to be the highest-ranking room. The paintings hanging on the walls had a good sense of style.

From the window, we could see a vast field of sacred flowers, and we couldn’t help but be impressed by how they managed to build such a place in a short time.

“Wow, tatami mats!”

Immediately, Miu entered the room with a joyful smile and started rolling and somersaulting on the tatami mats. Since her room had carpet flooring, tatami mats were a novelty for her.

Her joy resembled that of a puppy, making her look incredibly adorable.

As the scent of new tatami mats filled the air, Yoshiyuki and his wife sat on the floor cushions to relax after the journey. Although, we weren’t that tired.

“I’ll make some tea for you.”

While the maid prepared tea, the proprietress, Matsu-san, elegantly sat in the seiza position and bowed her head slowly.

“Welcome to Hanahanatei today, Takano Miu-sama and the other. Please enjoy the sightseeing in Kamakura, where the sacred flowers dance.”

After the customary round of greetings, Matsu-san left.

As my wife watched me, she looked at me strangely.

“Is it because she knows that Mii-chan is the head of the family?”

“Yeah, normally they would bring us in to greet us first. It was a bit of an odd greeting.”

Indeed, that was the case. It’s understandable to prioritize the head of the family, but it felt a bit awkward.

“Is it weird when it’s me?”

“Normally, they would greet the adults first. It’s strange to bring the child forward.”

“I see.”

Miu showed little interest and rolled around on the tatami mats again. She was delighted with the tatami mats. Her innocent behavior made Yoshiyuki smile.

“Mama and Mii-chan can rest. I have some work to do. It should be finished soon, and then we can go sightseeing.”

“I want to go too!”

Miu jumped up energetically and ran over, so we held hands and decided to go together.

“Are we going to the flower field?”

“Yes, we managed to secure 30% of Kamakura for Takano County. It has become Miu’s flower field.”

We had acquired the land through an imperial grant, and we were able to obtain it at a low cost. The old druid mage had bought the majority of the land with his raised funds.

We had purchased the land from Kamakura to the vicinity of Tokyo, including the long-abandoned ruins. The land ownership belonged to the country, and the country gave it to us.

Most people didn’t mind it, as it would likely become a settlement for the druids. They considered it only valuable if it could generate profit, so they were involved in supplying materials and construction work. The Takano family, however, was different.

“Thank you for waiting, Takano-sama. The weather is getting cooler, making it more comfortable.”

“Thank you for your patience.”

“No problem. Let me guide you to the flower field.”

The chubby executive from Gardo Farm and a few of his subordinates, all with friendly smiles, greeted. Together, we headed towards the flower field.

“It seems to be growing well.”

“Yes, we’re ready for shipment, and there are no issues. We’ve confirmed that it has the expected effects after verification.”

“Sacred flowers, right? It’s not the usual kind, is it?”

“Unfortunately, it can’t compare to the ordinary sacred flowers. However, we’ve confirmed that it exhibits the minimum required effect.”

“I see. Are you sure about this performance?”

“Yes, there’s no doubt. The faint light dwelling in the petals is the proof.”

Upon arriving at the flower field, where the sacred flowers bloomed profusely, they handed some documents to me. I had already read the contents before coming here. But I quickly skimmed through them again.

“Understood. Sacred flowers. This beautiful sight exceeds my imagination. We can also use it for tourism.”

“That’s right. We must launch a major campaign. Tourists will flock here. Kamakura’s defenses are perfect as well.”

“For transporting materials, we’ll arrange regular buses and tourist buses. As promised, Takano Transport will handle it.”

After conveying that, I shift my gaze to the flower field. It’s a fantastic flower field gently glowing. For ordinary people, it would undoubtedly be a sight they’d want to see.

The sacred flower, or the Divine Flower, is the correct term. It’s a crystal-like flower that blooms deep within dangerous dungeons.

The flowers possess sacred power, and most monsters hate them. They constantly emit a holy light, illuminating the surroundings like Light Flowers, and we can trade them for high prices due to their beauty.

The conditions for the cultivation of the enigmatic divine flowers are unknown, and they only bloom in specific locations within the dungeons. Even when using dungeon fields, they strangely don’t bloom.

“So, they can be grown using the soil prepared by Gardo Farm outside and the Plant Magic used by the druids.”

“Yes. These flowers won’t bloom under any other conditions and will rot. Furthermore, the bloomed flowers have inferior effects compared to the original flowers and are only effective against extremely weak monsters.”

“That’s why we named them sacred flowers instead of divine flowers. Their appearance is also different, making them easy to distinguish. It’s a good idea.”

The druids were cultivating these flowers around the village. There are areas within Tokyo with numerous monsters, and many lands imbued with mana. They turned that area into a village and planted sacred flowers around it.

“Wow, it’s like a save point flower! So pretty!”

Miu looks at the flower field and happily jumps around with a beaming smile. “Save point” is a phrase she uses that is reminiscent of a game, and a smile naturally escapes me.

“The Sacred Flowers bloom in 12 days and continue blooming for 10 days. After the petals fall, we can harvest the seeds 5 days later. If we stagger the planting periods. Flowers will cover this place in flowers all the time.”

The executive director of Gardo Farm hands me what his men have given him. It’s a sacred flower, but it is not fresh. I turn it in my hand and turn to the executive director.

“Is it a dried flower?”

“Yes. Its effects last for six months. It emits a faint glow, so you can tell when it has lost its effect. We have also completed the Sacred Water, made from the liquid extracted from these flowers.”

“And it can repel weak monsters. Are you certain about this?”

He hands me a small spray bottle, so I spray it onto my palm. It indeed emits a faint glow, and I feel a sense of purification in my hand.
