Oh the manga is going into more detail into how The Gods will literally punish and curse whoever they consider to have done wrong to the true Miko, she doesn't even have to do anything to take revenge on those who wronged her, she has a literal divine auto-defense system that will do it for her without her even knowing

Ladies and gentlemen, today we have observed something we like to call "natural selection", also known as "f*** around and find out" among the youngsters.

People often believe you can just plant anything in verdant areas and it'll grow, but that's a misconception. The native vegetation is consuming all the nutrients in the soil, so new crops have barely any chance of surviving since their roots are too small and weak to compete against the bigger trees that have spread their roots much further and grown thick. The native vegetation also recycles its consumed nutrients when the leaves and dry branches fall off in their vicinity, those nutrients are not going back to the soil far enough to reach the weaker plants.

You need to prepare the soil by first cutting down the existing trees and then fertilize the area, otherwise it'll just end up as we saw. Part of the reason why the village has enough food to sustain itself is because of Lerunda's powers, sure, but also because they properly opened up space by cutting down the trees that would have stolen the nutrients as well. Lerunda's powers must have just fertilized the soil unbeknownst to them.

And I'm going to bring up a point I made a few chapters ago - if those guys are so prone to violence and blame shifting, it makes me wonder if the reason they've been chased out isn't because they made it impossible to cohabitate with other tribes and got kicked out justly. If anything, the people after them seem to be victims, judging their behavior towards Lerunda and Roma.

Speaking of which, Lerunda is being too harsh on herself, she's just a 7 years old kid. You can't change the opinion of someone who's making purely emotional judgements, and you can't protect them from their own bad decisions. The only thing you can do is let them learn the hard way or let them exhaust their emotions so they're able to see reality for what it is. And I'm glad the story isn't making it lesson that Lerunda has to learn, but rather Roma by facing the consequences of his own stupidity!

Here's to hoping he doesn't stupidly try to lead them back to the village.

Either that or you need to know quite a bit about what to plant. Various pre-Columbian North American groups tended the forest to make it yield a lot more edible stuff. In parts of Mexico, they had this elaborate scheme that worked around succession, where they'd make a clearing and start by planting kinds of stuff for that, then different stuff at different stages as the forest grew up again. I believe they would have various clearings at different stages so they always had all the stuff, and the forest overall stayed healthy. But you can't really come up with a scheme like that on the fly the first time you find yourself in a forest.

Meanwhile, note that this is why they didn't tell these assholes where the village was. They knew they'd probably turn on their benefactors sooner or later. When you're living hardscrabble there'll always be hard times eventually, and if you've got this group that views the rest of you with suspicion and prejudice, they'll go after you when they don't like how the cookie is crumbling.
As to the assholes--sheesh, learn to hunt, guys. Do some gathering. Take some responsibility for your lives. Some little kid is supposed to be doing it all for you? What a joke.

Naive.
It doesn't matter that you "relate" to someone due to their past experience : you don't truly know these people. You don't actually know if they're "good" to you only because you bring them benefits. And when the good stuff gets cut off, they will bite your hand off.

They don't know how to tend fields/agriculture, they can't hunt/fend off monsters properly and they scapegoat like crazy. Feels like dead weight that got banished from the main tribe

Not even Galius was as naive as this adult guy. Did he forget what the humans outside the village did to the beastmen? Lerunda herself and Miss Lan were only accepted after working hard socializing and contributing to others. He is the clear example of how humans domesticated wolves until they arrived at Pomeranians (and now everyone is cursed lol)!~:huh:
Thks for the tl~

Interesting to know that there's a system like that in play.

Thanks for the TL
