Episode Title:
The First Villager
Episode Description:
God realises he messed up by reincarnating Hiraku in the Forest of Death, but decides to wait until a monster eats him then reincarnate him again. Hiraku discovers he can dictate which seeds the Tool sows with his mind and expands his fields. With winter approaching, the wolves fetch a friendly giant spider who weaves warm clothing in exchange for living in Hiraku’s tree. Hiraku names the spider Zabuton. Throughout the winter Hiraku struggles with loneliness, especially when the wolf puppies mature and find mates, and even Zabuton reappears with twenty babies. In the spring, Hiraku discovers a weakened vampire child named Ru in the woods, and after donating his blood, she resumes her adult size. Ru is amazed by his crops, which are new to this world, and explains she is a medicinal researcher, but when nobles sent a troublesome person to steal her research, she hid in the forest. They become friendly, and Hiraku asks Ru to move in with him. Ru agrees, and they become engaged to be married. Hiraku adds a herb garden to his fields to assist in Ru’s research. Elsewhere, another young travelling woman is looking for the Death Forest.
