I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1482 - Visiting the Home of a Person from the Same Homeworld

Chapter 1482 - Visiting the Home of a Person from the Same Homeworld ④

s.h.i.+gen.o.bu-san has been living in this world for more than half a century…… Well, this world doesn’t have the concept of centuries, but in any case, he has been living in this world for a long time and told us many interesting stories.

What particularly caught my interest was the foodstuff from the other world…… from the world we were in.

[Speaking of interesting stories, do you know of ripples?]

[Yes, of course.]

[You ever wondered what’s the case with that? Have you ever wondered why other fruits like oranges and grapes have the same names as in our world, but a few ingredients, including ripples, have names unique to this world……]

[Indeed, now that you mentioned it, it is strange? If there had been more names unique to this world, it would have been understandable but……]

Aoi-chan nodded in agreement with s.h.i.+gen.o.bu-san’s words. It’s true that most of the things unique to the other world have the same name, but even if some of them are names that have been pa.s.sed down from our world, it may be strange that most of them have the same name as our world.

However, I remember hearing about this story a little while ago. If I’m not mistaken, they originally had a different name, but it seems that it has changed over the years to match the names from our world so that it would be easier for those playing the role of Hero…… but there are some items such as ripples that couldn’t be changed because of some reasons……

[I don’t remember when I heard about this, but they said that they intentionally changed it to match the names of our world to make it easier for the people playing the role of Hero to adapt themselves?]

[Ohh, you’re quite knowledgeable. That’s right, by the time I played the role of Hero, most of the names were those I’m familiar with, but the one guiding me asked me to tell them if there were any names that were different.]

[Arehh? Then, why aren’t ripples called apples?]

[There are many theories about that. Like, it’s a name that had deep connections to conservative races in the Demon Realm and can’t be changed, or because it’s used as a symbol of a large historical company, or because it’s the name of a city…… Some foodstuffs have circ.u.mstances that make it difficult for their names to be changed, so their names remain as they were.]

For some reason, someone with an important position was quite particular about the name ripple and didn’t want it to be changed or something like that. However, in my personal opinion, I think it would be better if there were some foodstuffs with other world-like names.

In fact, I’m now so comfortable with the name “ripple” that I may feel uncomfortable hearing someone refer to them as “apple”.

[When you think about it that way, I guess people here are being considerate of the people with the role of Hero in various ways.]

[Yeah, each country produces a certain amount of rice, and with this area being one of the few areas oriented to producing rice in Hydra Kingdom, this place receives subsidies from the government.]

s.h.i.+gen.o.bu-san nodded at the words Aoi-chan earnestly said. Certainly, the fact that they would take care of various situations so that people that take the role of Hero, or rather, the otherworlders can easily spend their time here, so this world feels comfortable to us.

While this place does feel like another world, there are few cases where common sense is too different to follow, and I think the balance is really wonderful.

Thereupon, I suddenly remembered something and decided to ask s.h.i.+gen.o.bu-san about it.

[Come to think of it, you mentioned how you became a farmer, does that mean you’re growing rice?]

[Ahh, no, I’m not cultivating rice. I don’t have much knowledge about farming, so what I’m doing is more like an extension of my hobby. I don’t make a living with it.]

[We have some savings from the past, and since it’s just us two, it doesn’t cost much.]

s.h.i.+gen.o.bu-san smiled wryly as he said this, to which Hannah-san agreed with a smile.

I thought he became a rice farmer because of his experience as an otherworlder, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

But well, now that he mentioned it, it’s not like me being j.a.panese could mean I can grow rice in another world…… Nope, that’s not possible. I only have enough knowledge to make rice paddies, and the chances of me earning enough for me to make a living out of it are low.

[I have a rather large garden, and what I grow are vegetables. When I grew radishes, carrots…… and burdocks though, she gave me a strange look.]

[……No, I mean, when I saw those for the first time, I thought those were tree roots.]

[Well, burdock is…… It certainly is considered a tree root in some foreign countries even in the world we live in.]

j.a.panese people really eat just about anything, so there are times when they eat things that foreigners found surprising. If I were to compare it among my acquaintances, Raz-san also grows vegetables, but the scale of Raz-san’s field is just different. The vastness of her field is on another level, and it seems that even the large number of families living in Kuro’s castle can’t consume it all, thus her vegetables were being distributed here and there.

Raz-san likes to grow vegetables so much that she ends up producing too many…… I recently learned that Raz’s vegetables are being distributed within a brand known to those in the know as “Fairy Vegetables”. However, it’s valuable because they’re basically only wholesaled to acquaintances.

[While we’re on the subject, why don’t we take a look at the farm?]

[Is that alright? By all means then.]

s.h.i.+gen.o.bu-san agreed to show us the fields, and the three of us followed s.h.i.+gen.o.bu-san and Hannah-san as they stood up and moved to the back of the house.

Serious-senpai : [Heartwarming is good…… The wounds inflicted by the sugar break are being healed.]

? ? ? : [……So you’ve finally come to think that it’s okay to be heartwarming instead of being serious huh, self-proclaimed incarnation of seriousness……]
