Having decided to build a sports field, I walked around the Sanctuary to both take a walk as well as to find a potential site.
「I don’t remember how big a soccer field is. I can get a sense of how big a baseball field should be though.」
Yes, I’m Japanese so I had been playing baseball since I was a kid, but I’ve only had soccer in class. And I also used to watch the J League on tv. I don’t know the exact size of a soccer field.
After much thought, I realized there wasn’t a point in doing that.
Even in bowling, the length of the lane, the size of the pin and balls were all vague.
「Is this place okay?」
「Indeed. It’s a distance not too far from the residential district, it’s perfect.」
「Okay, I’ll imagine the scale as much as possible then.」
I casted Earth Attribute Magic to flatten the ground to the size of a soccer field.
「Around this size?」
「It’s alright if I grow the turf here, right?~」
「I’ll leave it to you, Dryas.」
「Leave it to Onee-chan~」
A soccer field needs a turf, doesn’t it? So, I asked Dryas for a favor.
The soccer field was immediately covered with turf grass before I could even say ah.
「It’s a bit long so it has to be mowed. Well, that’s fine as long as we use a lawnmower.」
I gave my thanks to Dryas, then took out a cask of wine from the Item Box and gave it to her.
「Well then, if you need anything else, you can tell Onee-chan.~」
「Yup, thanks Dryas.」
Dryas flicked her hand, and the barrel of wine floated with her as she left.
「What will you do after this?」
「I’ll make a lawnmower, and then we’ll need a soccer ball and goal.」
When I returned to the mansion with Sophia, I immediately locked myself in the workshop and started working on the lawnmower.
I had made a simple manual push type previously for the garden, so this time, I’m thinking of making a lawnmower powered by magic stones. It would be difficult to mow the grass in a soccer field manually, after all.
「Now then, time to draw up a blueprint.」
「Are you making something new?」
「Yeah, I’m thinking of making a lawnmower.」
「We already have a lawnmower.」
「That one’s inefficient for vast ranges.」
「Ohh! I see, this seems interesting.」
Drawing out a blueprint In order to fortify my image when I transmute it is very effective. Laeva, who peeked at that blueprint from my side, was amused and had offered to help.
「Then could you gather the materials, Laeva?」
「Understood.」
Laeva went to get the necessary ingots and monster materials from the warehouse.
Laeva came back and laid out the items she had taken from warehouse out of her Magic Bag.
「I believe this much will suffice.」
「Thank you. How about me try transmuting it right now?」
I placed the blueprint next to me, strengthening my image and invoked the transmutation.
「『Transmute』!」
The materials were enveloped with a bright light when the spell started and its form changed. Once the light subsided, the lawnmower was completed in its place.
「Ohh! This looks cool.」
「You wanna go for a test run right now?」
「Laeva wants to watch.」
「I’ll stow it away then.」
I placed the lawnmower into the Item Box, and together with Sophia and Laeva, we went to the soccer field.
I brought out the lawnmower once we had arrived at the soccer field, then I filled it up with magic power using a magic stone and sat on the driver’s seat.
「Lowering the rotor blades, I’m starting it up.」
I moved the spinning blades down to grass level, grasped the steering wheel and placed it into forward gear, stepped on the accelerator, and the lawnmower started to move slowly.
「Ohh! The turf has been sheared cleanly! How fascinating! Laeva wants to have a ride as well!」
「Okay, okay. Hold up.」
Rushed by an excited Laeva, she took over driving the lawnmower.
「Yahoooooo!」
「She’s way too excited.」
Laeva drove it until she was satisfied, Sophia sheepishly asked if she could have a turn, so I let her operate it, then I used Wind Magic to control the wind and gather the cut grass.
Now that the grass around the field was tidied up, I drew up the lines using a dye.
「Once I place the goal here, it’s done.」
「So then, what do we do with this?」
「Ah, I haven’t made the ball yet. Let’s return to the workshop.」
We’ve completed the soccer field, but not the ball. I suppose it would be best to make a lot of them.
