#828 Onions Once in a While

Humans sometimes remember to turn back to a health-conscious lifestyle.

I was vividly reminded of this after the recent sauna escapade.

Huh? It’s usual for women to get excited about diets, you say?

...That’s true.

But I also thought it might be good to pay attentio...

#827 Sauna has no Boundaries

Sure enough, the sauna became a huge hit at the farm.

The main enthusiasts were the orcs and goblins.

They really seem to enjoy that macho vibe.

Sitting in the sauna, arms crossed and silent, was exactly as I had imagined.

The farm’s orcs and goblins were so eager to ...

#826 Regulated Enthusiasm

The true essence of life is all about lazing around leisurely.

Pure bliss.

The lesson I learned from President the Lifeless King, a legend from the Showa era, was just that.

All work and no play isn’t good for humans.

You need to find a balance between work and rest.

<...

#825 Shutting Down a Workaholic

President the Lifeless King.

In some ways, the most terrifying opponent stood before me.

Have I ever felt such fear since coming here?

But! I’m determined to avert the crisis facing this world.

It’s my responsibility, having carelessly spoken of labor and summoned t...

#824 An Economic Undead

Back when the Lifeless King, now known as the President, was still a living human...

He was summoned to this fantasy land from another world about half a century ago, right during the period of rapid economic growth in Japan.

People back then were all about work, barely glancing sideways as t...

#823 The Last Fool

It wasn't long before something washed up on the shore near the farm.

At first glance, it seemed nothing more than a simple drowned corpse.

After all, all there is is a skeleton.

A skeleton stripped of flesh, like something you'd see in a science classroom.

One would think it’s ...

#822 Improving the Labor Environment

Humans must work in a humane environment.

And so, it’s time to improve the working conditions!

You see... 

Orkubo’s and Gobukichi’s marriages made me think it was time to take such matters seriously.

A man has to balance work and family life.

#821 The Kotatsu that Ruins People

Winter continues its grip.

It’s cold.

But we’ve lived long enough on this farm that our amenities have improved.

Even our measures against the cold have evolved quite a bit since the old days.

There’s the firewood heated the orcs crafted and the snug fu...

#820 In a Quarrel, Both Parties are to Blame

“I play nice, and you get cocky! There’s just no reasoning with you! True love for the beloved Mt. Eternity is claimed by might, not talk!”

“Dealing with Mt. Eternity is a hassle I’m willing to embrace! To protect my cherished memories, I’d gladly lay down the lives of the human race!”

Whe...

#819 Problem Child vs. Problem Child

Some might have forgotten, but I do have a main weapon in my possession.

It goes by the name Wicked-Holy Sword Dreischwartz, part of the venerable Seven Sacred Swords or something along those lines.

In truth, the seven sacred swords were meant to clash until only the last one standing could claim the ti...

#818 Regarding a Sacred Mountain

One Hundred Otherworldly Famous Mountains.

Ah, how nostalgic. I was even involved in editing that masterpiece of dedication from Golden Bat.

An S-rank adventurer with a passion, or rather a life’s work, used his mountain-climbing experience to create it.

Golden Bat compiled informatio...

#817 The Outbreak of a Great War

These days, I’m still not quite over the lethargy after Orkubo’s Castle ended.

Just as I was nursing the lingering desire to snuggle under a kotatsu, an emergency visitor barged in.

“Lord Saint! Lord Saint!!!”

“Please, save us!”

The visitors turned out to be...

#816 The Immortal King vs The Princess

A match?

Between Sensei, the Lifeless King, and Letasreit?!

A one-on-one duel without any interruptions?!

“Your growth is something I yearn to witness firsthand. What do you say? If you lack confidence, running away is also an option.”  

“Hahaha...! Sensei, y...

#815 A Crazy Teacher and Student

Good work, everyone. It’s me again.

This year’s Orkubo’s Castle has wrapped up without a hitch.

As this event ends, I can’t help but feel the year itself is ending. It's kind of like Christmastime, maybe?

Since winter is off-season for farming, we, who manage a farm, have a lot ...

#814 The Other Pair of Newlyweds: The Wife’s Side

My name is Carp.

I’m a teacher at the prestigious Mermaid Witch Academia.

I am the stern educator of future merladies at a school dedicated to their upbringing.

I strive to discipline myself to be a paragon of virtue and conduct myself as the supreme lady.

Just the other day, I ...

#813 The Other Pair of Newlyweds: The Husband’s Side

I am Gobukichi.

The ultimate evolved goblin, the Takehaya Susano-o Goblin.

I’m married.

Indeed, I am a goblin who, against all odds, has taken a wife and established a domestic life.

A married man, Gobukichi.

My comrade-in-arms, Orkubo, who married around the sa...

#812 A Certain Young Man’s Sumo Tournament

I’m Neyote, and I turned 15 this year.

I’m just your typical guy from a tiny village in the Human Kingdom.

I lead an honest, simple life, taking care of my younger siblings, working, and studying for the future.

And the day I look forward to the most each year has finally...

#811 Had Paths Not Crossed, Blood Would’ve Remained Unshed

“Whew! What a wild ride that was…!”

It has only been a few minutes since I started wearing the Loincloth of Love.

Basking in Platy’s love energy, I felt as empowered as a super-vegetable. However, the illicit modifications on my loincloth were instantly detected by the organizer, Zoth Syra, and ...

#810 Ranked List of Affection

The sumo tournament at Orkubo’s Castle is taking an unexpected twist.

It feels less like a sumo wrestling event and more like a couple’s love-bragging contest.

Thanks to the love-transforming item provided by Zoth Syra called the Loincloth of Love, we can now visualize the love value betw...

#809 A Sumo Tournament of Love

You can’t just slap the word ‘love’ on everything and think it’ll fix stuff!

At least, that’s what I thought.

Well, considering they’re newlyweds and probably in the most exciting phase of their lives, I tried to cut them some slack. Nevertheless, there’s a limit to things.

#808 The Wife Barges In

Hey, it’s me again.

The special event at Orkubo’s Castle—the Grand Sumo Tournament—is about to begin.

Humans, demons, merfolk... This mixed-race competition is the largest we’ve ever had, and it’s fittingly hosted in Orkubo’s Castle, which already stands as a major event destina...

#807 The Man at the Edge of the Ring

My name is Orkubo.

An orc who swears allegiance to Lord Saint...the owner of the farm.

Though I’m an orc, I now have a family and a lovely wife, and some time has passed since our wedding.

They say the honeymoon phase is all about cherishing every moment together.

Whenever my wi...

#806 The Gathered Sumo Wrestlers – The Mermen’s POV

I feel like I heard someone’s lament of hardship echo somewhere out there today.

It’s me again.

Hunches are nothing more than hunches, though, so I decided to brush it off and continue on my own path.

The collaborative event at Orkubo’s Castle, the Sumo Wrestling Tournament, is ab...

#805 The Gathered Sumo Wrestlers – The Demons’ POV

My name is Lucife Focale, the Prime Minister of the Demon Kingdom.

I hold a hectic position. 

So hectic, in fact, that even if I had three or four clones, it wouldn’t be enough. And yet, here I am again this year.

I’ve found myself at this event called Orkubo’s Castle.

...

#804 The Gathered Wrestlers – Human Race Version

Every man yearns to be the world’s strongest...!

Thus begins the grand sumo tournament in another world at Orkubo’s Castle.

Warriors from around the globe, whether by land or sea, gather to prove their might in the ring.

This event is not just about pitting strengths agai...

#803 A Dream Collaboration

Collaboration.

You hear that a lot these days.

When two individuals, who usually do their own thing, come together, it’s called a collaboration.

We’re doing one, too.

A dream collaboration between Orkubo’s Castle and the Mermaid Kingdom’s Grand Sumo Tou...

#802 Another Season of Orkubo’s Castle

Winter has come.

Another year, another winter.

It’s cold.

With the cold, crops don’t grow. Farming comes to a halt, and everyone braces themselves against the chilly winds.

This is what you’d call the farming off-season.

We rely on the grains and veggies we�...

#801 The Seventh Noodle Sense

“The iron plate accepts everything.”

Veil’s spouting weird things again.

I happened to be free at the moment, so I had no choice but to listen.

...Actually, I’m convinced Veil keeps track of my schedule and purposely approaches me during my breaks.

This cheeky dragon’s g...

#800 An Infinite Perfect Circle

After a year of longing, I finally got to indulge in foil-grilled dishes.

Naturally, I shared them with everyone on the farm, and the response was overwhelmingly positive to the point they were lost for words.

“Ooooooooooooohohohoooooo!!!”

“Nomnomnomnomnom…!!!”

“Amamam...

#799 Wrapping Everything

All right, my year-long wish is finally coming to life.

I got the aluminum foil from Pops Edward.

I smoothly pull it out and tear off a suitable length.

The dwarves, who contributed to making this foil, hold their breaths in anticipation.

“A weapon? Or is it armor...?...
