Chapter 71 The First Ripples of a New Domain
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
I must have looked utterly bewildered. Liliarette quickly waved her arms, trying to calm me down.
”Ah… no, not at all. It just occurred to me when we were talking earlier. We are capable of birth control thanks to Ami’s Blessing, but surely not everyone is? Your world, Shimizu, has so many unusual things… I was simply wondering what sort of methods you use to prevent pregnancy.”
The talk earlier… oh, right, when she was mentioning having my children and all that. Anyway, I should answer Liliarette’s question.
”The most common method is putting a rubber sheath on the male member, I guess…” I explained, trying to sound knowledgeable.
”A rubber sheath…?” she wondered.
”Yeah. It’s a very thin membrane that stretches incredibly well and has excellent flexibility. It’s easy to put on and take off, and even if a man climaxes, the s**en won’t get inside the woman’s womb.”
Even though I’ve never used one!
”I see… so it is an excellent method for its convenience,” Liliarette concluded.
”What about here?” I countered.
”Well… the one I’ve heard of involves applying a special kind of mucus to the inside of the feminine canal. There is also another method where a man ties an animal’s internal organ around his member.”
”Ugh, seriously…?”
”But neither of those methods is said to be very reliable.” Liliarette countered, completely serious.
”Even that mucus applied to the feminine canal is difficult to formulate and quite expensive, I hear. Most importantly, both methods require a significant amount of time to prepare. On top of that, they don’t even guarantee prevention, so for a woman, going through the trouble of applying the mucus only to end up pregnant would be absolutely dreadful, don’t you think?”
Starting with a kiss, then some cuddling, and then just as you’re about to “merge”… you have to rush around frantically getting the birth control ready. That would definitely ruin the mood.
”The rubber takes only a few seconds to put on, and your sensitivity barely changes when you use it. Plus, it almost certainly guarantees you won’t get pregnant,” I boasted.
Still haven’t used one myself, though!
”I see… it seems your methods of contraception are also quite advanced. Perhaps that too could be a business opportunity for aristocrats and wealthy merchants.” Liliarette added, her tone suddenly professional.
”Ah…! I see…!” I realized.
I was wondering why she suddenly asked about other-world birth control practices, and it turns out she was thinking about business the whole time.
Liliarette… her business sense is pretty strong, isn’t it? She’s surprisingly reliable.
”In that case, maybe I should buy some next time I go back.”
”Yes, please. I’d like to see it once so I can judge whether it can actually be used for business~desuwa. Depending on the possibilities, it might even become a new product to replace sugar…”
With the business talk settled, we finally began discussing the preparations for the farm area.
If this works out, it will become an infinitely generating source of Resource Points. I have extremely high hopes for it.
”Regarding the location, I believe we should use the entire area to the south of here,” she declared.
”The entire area…!?!” I exclaimed.
”Yes. However, that is a plan for the future. We are currently limited by the amount of seeds we have, so let us gradually expand the cultivated area, little by little.” Liliarette explained.
Well, that’s true. Even using the Land of Blessing consumes a fair amount of Resource Points.
We don’t have enough points to spare to set up a huge area all at once.
”Also, we will make use of the characteristic that any farm produce can be harvested in five days. We will plant the seedlings in a staggered manner so that a fixed amount can be harvested every single day.”
”So you want to avoid a huge amount of work every five days,” I summarized.
”Precisely. Although we can utilize the maids as actual manpower, it will undoubtedly require a considerable amount of time,” Liliarette acknowledged.
Her calm declaration about using the maids instantly reveals her royal upbringing. I understood the main point, which was to prevent the harvest from being concentrated on any single day.
Next, I listened to her large-scale plan for remodeling the Dominion, preparing for the phase when we can truly start collecting Resource Points infinitely. She must have come up with this plan over the last few days.
Liliarette had compiled various drafts on paper. Though I couldn’t read the script, the diagrams gave me a general sense of what she was planning.
(It looks like she’s planning a small village…)
She intends to enclose the vast area, including the farm, with a fence and a wide moat, and also construct buildings within that site, each for a specific purpose.
In particular, a building for storing the harvested produce will need to be quite large.
She proposed dividing the maids into two groups: one unit specializing in combat against the Demon Monsters, and another unit dedicated to personal care and maintenance.
Since the maids can be maintained with Resource Points, they can work tirelessly without eating or sleeping. This would also allow us to handle the Demon Monster encounter events that happen late at night.
Furthermore, we anticipate the number of Magic Girls in the Dominion will increase in the future, so she planned to prepare housing large enough to accommodate many people.
”Well, all of this is contingent on the farm area truly getting on track, of course,” Liliarette added.
”Even if it doesn’t work out perfectly, we can still grow the fruits. We can go to the town and sell them. We’ll use that money to buy things that have a better Resource Point conversion efficiency,” I mused.
The sun was starting to set by the time my conversation with Liliarette was finished.
I think I’ll take a break from Quester work today and work hard tomorrow… I need to start preparing dinner now…
”Did you finish talking?” Ami-chan inquired.
Ami-chan, who had been instructing Eme-chan, returned.
I quickly shared the gist of the conversation I had with Liliarette and brought up the farm setup.
”So, I want you to plant the seeds so that we get a consistent amount of harvest every day. Is that the kind of instruction you can give to Aion-san and the others?” I asked Ami-chan.
”It should be fine! Hey, Aion!” Ami-chan called out, confident.
Ami-chan called out. Aion-san instantly materialized in a shupatto appearance.
Come to think of it, I’ve known Aion-san for a long time. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she’s the maid I’ve relied on the most.
Plus, calling her Aion makes her sound incredibly strong.
”Just put all the seeds you brought in one place, and we’ll have them planted nicely for you!” Ami-chan declared.
”Got it. Then I’ll go ahead and designate the Land of Blessing right away.”
I pulled out a large number of various seeds right next to the house. I’d really prepared a wide range of types this time.
There are potatoes, carrots, onions, and pumpkins. For fruits, I have new ones like peaches, strawberries, pears, and bananas.
If all goes well, we should start seeing results in five days. I’m really looking forward to it.

Summary:
Shimizu and Liliarette’s chat about different world’s birth control methods quickly turned into a profitable business plan, proving Liliarette’s sharp merchant instincts. The main event was the finalization of the large-scale farm project, utilizing the Land of Blessing to secure a constant flow of Resource Points. This led to a huge Dominion expansion plan, which looks like a small, self-sustaining village. With Ami-chan and Aion’s help, the planting of various seeds has begun, promising daily harvests in just five days.

Character Insight:

Behind the Scene:
The introduction of modern contraception (condoms) is a classic light novel trope used to highlight the technological gap between the worlds, and it’s immediately repurposed into a commercial commodity. The Dominion’s growth is accelerating, shifting the story’s focus from mere survival to large-scale nation-building.
