Rising from the Slum City of Reincarnation in Another World ~ Gathering, Hunting, and Living a Slow Life by Eating

Chapter 145.2   SS8. Harris

“I wonder if Ed is doing well.”

Harris murmured as he gathered mint leaves.

“Listen up, today it’s mint, so I asked not to mix it with other leaves.”

“Wow!!”

The children from the slums responded to Harris’s voice.

Everyone was smiling.

Previously, everyone had suffered from hunger, but now, with profits from selling herbal tea and health tea, everyone could afford to eat decent meals.

It all started when Ed, the originator of the herbs that were monopolized, assigned work to Harris.

He called it outsourcing, but that didn’t matter. Just having work made them happy.

Previously, there were few jobs for children in the city, and it was by lottery. Children who missed out on the lottery didn’t get work. Now, all the children who couldn’t get work are gathering grass together.

So everyone was grateful to Ed and Harris.

“Harris used to be a boastful little rascal, but as he started doing proper work, he’s become quite the leader.”

Dridon and Bielcera’s assistance played a part in this.

Everyone helps each other out, and things are running smoothly.

“Mint, mint here!”

Today, it’s mint.

Even the kids in the slums can distinguish mint because of its unique smell when touched.

Using the distiller that Ed installed in Harris’s house, they refine mint oil from the mint.

It’s a refreshing oil that’s become popular among nobles and upper-class ladies lately.

They’ve gradually been gaining more customers and selling well in the royal and major cities.

“To us, it just looks like any other weed.”

“Yeah, it’s crazy how such weird oil sells for a high price. The world’s changed.”

“Indeed, haha.”

The value of it isn’t really understood by the kids in the slums.

But since it sells well and they can earn some pocket money from it, they don’t complain.

“It just doesn’t feel right without Ed around.”

“Yeah, wonder what he’s up to.”

“I heard Eldania has become quite a city.”

“Is that so? Wow.”

It’s unrelated to Harris and the others, but they heard that when they reach the age for Trieste High School, Ed and the others will come back.

Until then, they’ll continue to lead the children of Lanierda and give everyone work.

They’re also continuing their studies in reading and writing.

Harris understood that calculations were necessary for work, so he’s recently started taking arithmetic classes seriously.

Considering he couldn’t even count big numbers before, studying has definitely paid off.

Next time, there will be harvesting of herbal tea, dog barley tea, and health tea.

The grasslands of the stumps stretch outside of Lanierda, and they walk around collecting them evenly.

It’s not insanely vast, but it’s spacious enough, so it seems they haven’t exhausted it yet.

Then there’s also the management of the school’s vegetable garden.

It’s just random planting and neglect farming, but surprisingly, there’s a decent harvest.

They harvest what’s ready and use it for the school meals.

This was also Ed’s idea, so everyone is grateful.

Just gathering grass. That’s all it takes.

Yet it turns into money, and everyone smiles.

Ed’s parting gift to Harris and the others was truly significant.
