Chapter 84: Stocking Up With another week behind us, winter crept ever closer. However, I had also harvested another two yields of my farm, which had expanded to double its size. What did that mean? Well, I now had a few dozen pounds of flour and around a hundred some odd pounds of corn cobs. The rate for converting flour into bread was also relatively... Broken. One pound of flour, along with some water, produced six loaves of bread, each roughly weighing a pound each. Normally, a pound of flour would turn into around a pound of bread. I was turning a pound of flour into six pounds of bread. So... Yeah. Anyways, besides me wondering why my system broke all known laws of reality, I had to harvest another giant field of wheat. Aethisia and Yiksa were helping me, the two women using newly forged scythes to help reap everything, including the corn. Camara was with Kalia, the two sitting on the stairs as they husked the corn. While I did harvest more when I cut everything down, the 'corn' and 'wheat' I received and had in my inventory was unprocessed, and unless I wanted to use a special workstation to process everything via my system, which would eat at the larger yield, I had to do this by hand. Even as I prayed and begged for a skill to process my wheat and corn more efficiently, one never came. Kalia was now around five feet tall, and her pink hair had grown to be long, reaching down to her waist, and it was rather fluffy as well. Her pink eyes had set more into her face, and she now had a more serious look to her; her smiles were still abundant and bright, but when she was concentrating on something, she had a cute serious expression, which was only amplified by her narrowing her eyes. Besides that, she had started to fill out as well, her body growing more to be like mine than her dama's. Her chest was getting larger, and her curves were definitely more pronounced. Kalia had also flattened out with her skin tone; she had grown slightly darker, reaching a shade just lighter than her dama; not charcoal gray, but a little lighter. As for her personality, she was still the same bubbly girl, always enthusiastic as she tried to help with everything, her curiosity only growing with time. She wanted to learn everything, be it hunting, fighting, cooking, carving, farming... The thirst of knowledge inside of her was boundless, and the one time she had seen me using Blood Magic to heal one of Rhefia's deeper cuts from a hunting accident, she had been completely enamored by the idea of magic. So much so that I needed to start considering unlocking a secondary Magic, if possible, so that I could transfer that skill to her. With a mind as sharp as hers, it made sense to give her that skill instead of something related to physical fighting... Sitting down with my daughters, I started husking the corn as well, the entire family joining in while Rhefia watched on, her eyes scanning the forest just in case. With the approaching winter, Geri had started stalking closer and closer to our home, and my wife wanted to guarantee no one ever got hurt due to negligence. I would have called her out for not wanting to partake in the tedious work if it wasn't for that cut she got; Camara had told me that a pack of the monsters had attacked them when they were returning home, attracted to the scent of blood around their prey. They had snuck up behind Rhefia, Camara, and Yiksa, and the largest one had targeted Rhefia, scoring that deep gash on her arm. The monsters had been swiftly dealt with, but now my wife was sporting a faint scar on her chocolate skin, which pained me to see. So, I smiled to her as she leaned against a tree, her amber eyes sweeping over us for a brief moment before retuning to the forest. Winter would arrive soon, and it was already baring its frigid, ice laden fangs.
