More duplicated letters here: "Welll", "Southh", "Getss", "Helpped", "Yess", "Yess", "It'ss", "Heree", "Justt", "Fruitss", "Movingg", "Thinkk", "Apparentlyy", "Theree", "Seee". Most of them seem to come from the character Rehme, so it might be an effort to represent some kind of accent or speech pattern? I don't think it works very well if so.

@kdrakari good observation, i think? i summed it up to insignificant typos. the scanlators probably should've noted it if it was some sort of accent or something.

C-Cocoa Bean??

Chocolates~!!!

uwu hehe

"Ojou-sama and the Chocolate Factory"

@Mizuhi

It's because chocolate is very highly profitable among both commoners and the rich and lasts long enough.
But true tho, they should've made use of all those crops; they might even find Almond to mix with chocolate.

I dunno if they are typos or just trying to simulate accent, but it's driving me mad.

Oh hey here are 2 crops that have a history of 2,000 years of human cultivation (in SE Asia and South America respectively), and our protagonist just finds them growing in the wild, ignored by everyone, in a state ready for production? Porn scrips require less suspension of disbelief.

what do you mean @AMetroid? is it because that cocoa is actually have a name (which mean it is already been used in some extent)?

@atoranol I do not understand your question. It is noted that the locals are away of and make some use of the cocoa, but they are not farming it.
It took a long time for certain plants to be bread from their wild form to what we now farm today. Her finding the these pants in their current form, which only developed after many years of human farmers selectively growing them, is the equivalent of her fining a vein of pure iron to mine. It's completely unnatural.

@AMetroid 'current form' means cocoa looks different in the old days ... right? i really want to know but can't really find it, like how do you tell natural cocoa before being breed and after?

@atoranol If you look at any variety of plant that is farmed and take a look at what it was like in the wild without humans cultivating it, and the currant iteration, they look quite different.

I can only assume that cocoa beans were similarly affected, because why would they not be.

Oh boy... here we go.
The isekai woman found the cacao. Chocolate industry inbound.


@AMetroid : Yeah, it is seriously unrealistic... but there are three things worth considering:
#1. She is living in an otome game world... so this is a confirmed oversimplified world written by people who probably don't know shit about agriculture.
#2. Hypothetically speaking, a world where beans and fruit have somehow developed naturally along lines encouraged by selective breeding in our world isn't completely incomprehensible... provided there is some sort of biological advantage to it.
#3. The crops could have been selectively bred by a past civilization which has since had to leave the land, and then a new population moved in, unaware of the remnants of the old... by which time the crops might have gone wild...
