The area of the field available for planting doubled after we’d finished clearing the weeds.
Using tuff loam this time, I planted cabbage and lettuce simultaneously. Unlike lettuce, cabbage attracted bugs more often. I remembered my grandma had planted them side by side before, saying that doing so would reduce the insects. We gave it a shot, and it seemed to work.
But this was unexpected.
“…Amazing! So big!” I shouted, eyes wide at the sight before me.
The lettuce, cabbage, and strawberries that I’d planted together were all growing at a rapid pace. In fact, they’d grown too much.

The cleaves of the cabbage were so large and wide that I could even hide myself behind them. As I hugged the giant head of cabbage and made a racket, Sig, who was watching me from beyond the field, whispered, “There’s a fairy…”

Receiving the strawberry from him, I noticed a sweet scent from it. It was also lighter than I had imagined.
“I’ve heard that if we plant fruits where the sun doesn’t set, the fruits would be humongous. But this is…”
The day and night cycle in this place didn’t deviate from my original world, and above all, most of the vegetables were ready to harvest within half a day.
But if the sun and time weren’t relevant, what was the cause?
As I exchanged glances with Sig, a notification rang from my phone. It was a message from God.
“It’s because the soil is too nutritious.”
I tilted my head in confusion. If the soil was full of nutrients, then it should be a good thing, right?
But God said, “Balance is important in everything.” That’s true. This strawberry was huge, but the inside was hollow.
While I wondered what was actually happening, God gave me a hint. “The nutritional value of the soil has increased with the rank up of your garden. That’s why, you have to plant crops that match the soil.”
“Rather than planting more, it would be better to plant a higher-ranked crop. Is that it?”
God replied with a short message of “Yes, yes,” before telling me something interesting. “I’d recommend you deal with this as fast as possible. The creatures living in the soil are screaming.”
Living in the soil? Was God talking about Rosè?
Sig was standing next to me, and when I gave him a confused glance, he nodded. “It’s true that they are a little distressed. That might also be the reason why we’ve been seeing so many centipedes in the field recently.”
“Eh, what does that have to do with centipedes?”
“They are an earthworm’s natural enemy.”
Hearing the words “natural enemy,” I gulped.
Earthworms that cultivated the soil lived by eating soil. The reason why Rosè had heartburn and grew weak was the high calorie content of the soil. Furthermore, the centipedes attacked. I’d never thought of that until now.
“Over there,” said Sig, pointing. When I looked in that direction, I saw Rosè lying on top of the inert soil. It was rare for cultivating earthworms to come out from the earth on their own initiative. Rosè panted as if it were short of breath, and my chest hurt looking at it.
We should use the fields more, for Rosè’s sake.
