Negris gave an awkward laugh, dismissing his wild ideas.
"Ange, try to exchange for as many of these upgrade beans as possible. We don't know what kind of seed this is, see if you can grow it. I suspect it's something valuable," Negris whispered to Ange.
"Oh." Ange picked up the seed and popped it into the farm of the Resting Camp. He randomly selected a spot and planted it, also planting an upgrade bean as an afterthought.
"Oh, right, if upgrade beans are beans, they can also be seeds. Plant them, and we won't have to trade with the Evil God anymore," Negris suggested.
...
The Evil God seemed to be fond of hanging around Ange. Every afternoon, it would extend a claw from the sculpture, feeling around. If it didn't touch anything, the claw would hang there listlessly for a long time before it was reluctantly withdrawn.
Sometimes, when Ange was nearby, he would give it an elf bean. This would make the claw perk up with excitement and eagerly reach out for more, spreading wide.
