Miniature

A light board appeared, with slightly different edging than usual, giving that instruction.

And behind it, the entire village was projected in full view.

It was drawn in such fine detail, it looked just like a miniature of the village.

“Th-this is… a map of the village?”

“…Wait, Aira, you can see this too?”

“…? Yes, I can see it normally.”

Until now, no one else had been able to see the light boards generated by my Tree Planting aptitude.

This time too, it seemed they couldn’t see the board, but both Aira and Simurg-san could see the village miniature.

“Tree arrangement… could it mean…”

Inside the village, multiple objects blinked with light.

The glowing ones, as if urging me to touch them, were the trees I had planted with my aptitude.

For now, I touched the miniature of the Wind Muscat nearby.

Its blinking grew slightly faster.

I tried choosing a location as though I were planting.

I chose “Yes.”

The Wind Muscat vanished.

“My Wind Muscat!?”

But right before Simurg-san’s eyes, where the grapevine had disappeared, the Wind Muscat reappeared.

“Phew, thank goodness… wait, the tree has moved!?”

“So it’s a skill that lets us freely move trees… that’s what it is, right?”

At Aira’s words, I nodded.

It seemed this skill allowed me to freely relocate the trees I had planted.

Looking closely, the moved Wind Muscat was sitting inside a giant flowerpot.

Apparently, the Auto Replanting skill had automatically activated.

I selected “Yes,” and the Wind Muscat in the flowerpot slowly sank into the ground, planting itself.

No doubt this was the unlocked function of Auto Replanting.

So the skill didn’t just make flowerpots—it could automatically replant trees as well.

Since Tree Arrangement now let me move trees, it seemed the function had been unlocked.

Still, having to turn them into flowerpots and replant every time might be a bit bothersome.

Eh, I could do that?

Not sure, but I selected “Yes.”

When I tested the trees to confirm the announcement, I immediately understood.

Tree Arrangement (Modified) replanted trees automatically after moving them.

In other words, once a move finished, the tree was already planted in its new location.

I also tested the Flowerpot skill just in case, but it was no different from the restricted version of Auto Replanting.

“With this, I can expand the orchards without worry. I was concerned only the vineyard was growing, but with Tree Arrangement, I can adjust placement without ruining the landscape.”

“We could even surround the Wind Muscat orchard with other vineyards to create a gradient vineyard!”

“Since House Trees are also counted as trees, in an emergency we could even move entire houses.”

I ignored Simurg-san’s suggestion since I didn’t really get it, but I couldn’t ignore Aira’s words.

Indeed, I tried it… and it worked.

House Trees were treated as trees too, so they could be moved freely.

Looking closely, Tree Arrangement didn’t require points to use, just like the Harvest Bag.

This was… a very convenient skill indeed.

But, “in an emergency,” huh…

Most likely, when that time came, this Tree Arrangement and the Element Fruits I was developing would be the ones spitting fire.

I hoped such a day would never come, but in such an unreasonable world…

I had to be prepared, just in case.
