Kazuma's curiosity led him to inquire about the availability of a plain field near the village. Galan confirmed that there was indeed a vast grassland across the river not far from their current location. Intrigued, Kazuma requested they visit the site to assess its potential.
Upon arriving at the grassland, Kazuma was taken aback by its sheer size and the potential it held. It was a fertile canvas, waiting to be utilized for the benefit of the village. He turned to Galan with an expression of wonder.
"Such a vast and fertile land! Why did you choose to plant crops in the jungle?" Kazuma inquired, eager to understand the rationale behind their farming practices.
Galan appeared puzzled by the question. "Is it forbidden to plant crops in the jungle?" he asked, genuinely perplexed.
Kazuma realized that farming and proper land management were entirely foreign concepts to the elf's. While they excelled in growing plants through their deep connection with nature, they lacked the knowledge and experience of organized farming.
"No, it's not forbidden," Kazuma replied, a reassuring smile on his face. "It's just that farming on open plains, like this grassland, can offer several advantages."
He proceeded to explain the benefits of organized farming on a plain field. "When you farm in an open area, you can have proper rows and spacing between the crops, allowing each plant to receive ample sunlight and nutrients. It also makes it easier to water the crops and prevents them from competing with other plants for resources."
Galan listened attentively, absorbing this new knowledge. "I see," he said thoughtfully. "So, you're saying that farming here could lead to even better yields and healthier crops?"
Kazuma nodded, pleased that Galan understood. "Exactly," he affirmed. "With organized farming techniques, you can ensure that the crops grow to their full potential, providing an abundance of food for the village."
Galan looked out at the vast grassland, his mind now open to the possibilities. "We will give it a try then," he declared. "If it means better harvests and a more prosperous village, it's worth exploring."
Excited by the prospect, Kazuma offered to help the elf's in their farming endeavors. He suggested starting with small plots to experiment with different crops and techniques. The elf's could use their natural connection with nature to their advantage, combining it with the knowledge of organized farming.
"We will give it a try then," Galan declared, his curiosity piqued by the prospect of improved harvests.
Galan agreed to Kazuma's proposal, recognizing the value of having someone with expertise guide them in this new venture. They returned to the village, eager to share the newfound plan with the other villagers.
Returning to the village, Kazuma observed the excitement and hope in the eyes of the villagers as they began preparing the grassland for organized farming. Some villagers who had experience in previous crop fields stepped forward to help.
Edith, an elf who had been in charge of growing crops in the village, approached Kazuma. "With your guidance, I assure you, we will give it our all and not fail this time around," she declared with determination.
Curious about Edith's capabilities, Kazuma used the Eye of Gaya to access her status.

Kazuma was impressed. "Plant Mage," he mused, recognizing that her expertise would be of great help in their new farming venture.
With the elf's natural affinity for nature and Kazuma's knowledge of organized farming, the stage was set for a new beginning. The villagers felt a renewed sense of hope as they prepared to embrace the journey of cultivating their fields and sowing the seeds of prosperity.
