Foreman! There’s a girl in the bamboo!

 A young girl appeared from within the silver bamboo.
I don’t really know what I’m saying, but that seems to be the case so it can’t be helped.
 
 ”Foreman! There’s a girl in the bamboo!” [TL: No clue what the reference is, but is sounds like one]
 ”Unii!?”
 
 Uni gave me a look that said “What on earth are you doing?”.
I just wanted to say it a bit.
 
 ”Somehow My headache has also stopped, and My body is no longer sluggish.
Explain what in the world is going on.”
 ”Eh, before that, I want an explanation of what this is.”
 ”Mogu mogu!”
 
 Kubota flaps his arms about as though to show my confusion.
The other moles are running around in a circle for some reason.
That’s how surprised they are.
 
 ”Oh, oh oh oh! Sad one~~~~!”
 ”Mogu mogu!?”
 
 Just as I thought that, the girl hugged Kubota, rubbing her cheek against him.
It looks so fluffy.
 
 ”Mogu mogu♪”
 
 Kubota doesn’t seem to dislike it.
If you look closely, she’s a rather cute girl, isn’t she?
 Her hair is also beautiful black hair that looks as though it fell straight out of the night sky, and is long enough to reach her back.
 Although she’s young, she has well-defined features, and a hint of elegance seems to lie in her cuteness.

 However, she also has a strange outfit.
Is that a thick cloth belt? Anyhow, it’s like her outfit is a cloth wrapped around her, with beautiful designs spread on the hem.
 
 ”Hmph, what are you doing! Staring at people!”
 ”No, I just thought your outfit was strange.”
 ”Outfit? What’s so unusual about a kimono?”
 
 She tilted her head as she lifted each sleeve separately.
She called it a kimono? First time I’ve heard of it.
 
 ”Uhm, I’m sorry to ask these questions backwards, but what’s up with the bamboo?”
 ”I am the Bamboo Princess! What’s wrong with Me, the incarnation of bamboo, being in some bamboo!”
 
 I, I see.
She seems to be the incarnation of bamboo, the Bamboo Princess.
No wonder.
 
 ”More importantly, answer My question.”
 ”Oh, right.
Actually, what we just did was thinning.
The bamboo was too thick.
Bamboo is too fertile, and if left unchecked, it will quickly multiply.”
 ”Thinning? I don’t understand, what’s wrong with more bamboo?”
 
 The Bamboo Princess tilted her head cutely.
But that hand kept stroking Kubota.
 
 ”The bamboo increased too much, such that the bamboo can’t get enough nutrients from the surroundings.
Also, the air flow worsens, and it becomes difficult for sunlight to reach.
And more importantly, the obstruction to the flow of mana is large.”
 
 Sun and wind, as well as nutrients are of course important, however mana is most important in encouraging plant growth.
Bamboo is especially susceptible to the influence of mana.
 
 ”Hmmm, I thought that the more plants there were, the better, but I guess not…”

 ”Too much of anything isn’t good.
In particular, it’s better for the environment to regularly thin plants.”
 
 By the way, it is also considered important for magic architecture to be in harmony with nature.
This is because it’s believed that mana, which is important for magic architecture, develops when it is nurtured along with nature.
 That’s why, as a magic arhitect, I was taught about these things.
The word “architecture” is often associated with the destruction of nature, but we choose to let nature remain, and choose what to build and how to build it.
 
 ”Hm, I understand now.
It seems there was apparently a misunderstanding.
My apologies.
And what a refreshing feeling! Thank you!”
 ”Mogu mogu~”
 ”Koo~”
 ”Unii”
 ”Kyupi~”
 ”Go-!”
 ”Mogu~”
 ”Mogu-!”
 ”Mogyu~”
 ”Mo~gu~”
 
 Phew, I’m glad she’s convinced.
I’m sure everyone is also relieved.
 
 ”This guy also feels nice and cool~”
 ”Kyupi~♪”
 
 The Bamboo Princess was stroking Keon’s head this time, making him feel good.
That’s good to know.

 ”And you have a nice, sturdy body.”
 ”Go-!”
 
 When the Bamboo Princess praised Kobelco and stroked his armour, he took a pose and made his armour shine.
 
 ”By the way, Bamboo Princess-sama.”
 ”Just Bamboo Princess is fine.”
 ”Then Bamboo Princess.
Now that that discussion is over, is it ok to take this cut bamboo? I don’t think I should leave it here like this, so if you don’t mind…”
 
 I said various things, but it’s also true that I want the bamboo.
Bamboo is useful for all sorts of things.
 Then the Bamboo Princess cutely thought “hmmm~”…
 
 ”Then I have one request.”
 ”A request?”
 
 Apparently the Bamboo Princess has something to ask.
Well, what is it?
 
 ”I want you to take Me with you!”
 ”Eh? You want to come with me?”
 ”Right!”
 
 This girl came out from within the bamboo, moreover, she wants to come with me.
Hmm, but…

 ”Well, don’t you need to be close to that silver bamboo? Or rather, why?”
 ”As long as that bamboo is there, there’s no problem.
It’s fine if I just come to check on it occasionally.
The reason is, because I am curious.
In the first place, I was bored of being in the bamboo all the time.
With you, there might be new discoveries and fluffiness!”
 ”Uni~”
 
 While replying, the bamboo princess was stroking Uni.
Does she like fluffy things?
 
 ”””””Mogu~ mogyu mo~gu~”””””
 ”Kyupi~”
 ”Go-!”
 ”Unyu~”
 
 Then everyone snuggled close to me as though they were pleading.
Seems they took a liking to the Bamboo Princess.
 
 ”Hmm.
There certainly aren’t any bad kids who like fluffy things.”
 ”Yep.
You know it well!”
 
 The Bamboo Princess seems to agree with me.
I’ve got no reason to refuse her now.
 
 ”All right.
Then will you come with me?”
 ”Yep! Take care of me!”
 
 And so we have one more friend.
Or should I say we’ve found an islander, although I’m not sure, but I’ve finally gotten to know someone that looks similar to me.
 I’ve also gotten the bamboo to use as material.
Now it’s time to get to work! Let’s quickly get on with the development!
