But Hermione was still young after all.
Not to mention her lack of proficiency in magic and her limited magic power.
In terms of physical strength alone, she simply couldn't keep up.
As a scholar-type, her frail characteristics were perfectly reflected in her body.
Her physical strength was not even comparable to that of Kanao.
After using the Levitation Charm to help move grains more than ten times, she was exhausted.
Although she didn't need physical strength to use magic, she still needed to walk along with the objects.
After walking back and forth for more than a dozen times between the fields and the drying field, she was so tired that she wanted to sit down and rest.
There was no other way; when Takumi originally opened up this field, he made it into a rectangle of two hundred by one thousand meters.
Although it extended to the south, upland rice and wheat were planted in the far south.
Although the grain drying field was located to the west of the field, it was situated in the north because it was adjacent to the residential area and easier to monitor.
As a result, the distance between the rice fields and the drying field was longer, and the closest point was about a hundred meters.
After a dozen trips back and forth, it was at least more than 3,000 meters in distance.
Hermione's physique was at the level of a primary school student, so it was no wonder she was tired.
Seeing this, Takumi handed her the prepared porridge, water, fruit, and dried meat for energy replenishment during work breaks.
By the way, the reason they had porridge was thanks to Kochou Kanae, who brought some rice back, though not much.
"Get a good rest and don't force yourself if you can't manage it."
After giving the warning, Takumi went back to continue working.
"..."
Looking at the people who were still alive and kicking after working for so long, and then looking at herself being extremely tired.
Little Hermione couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
It was also the first time she discovered that a person's strength is not just about knowledge, but also about physical endurance.
"It seems that I need to exercise some more in the future."
While drinking the porridge that was seasoned with just a bit of salt, she found it delicious; little Hermione secretly made up her mind.
After resting, she went up to help again.
But she soon became tired and had to rest once more.
Because as time went by, the harvest progressed, and the distance between the harvesting point and the drying field gradually became farther and farther.
Coupled with the previous consumption, she could originally make more than a dozen trips at a time, but now she could not even manage ten.
Just like that, without noticing, it was already noon.
Takumi called everyone to stop and asked Tomoko to go to the drying field to spread the grain to dry, and then took everyone home for dinner.
Takumi cooked lunch himself.
He took out the stored meat luxuriously and made some hearty dishes.
"Come on, come on, you're welcome, eat! Think of it as celebrating this first harvest."
At the dinner table, Takumi happily greeted everyone to start eating.
Just now, he got a report from Tomoko and knew the approximate estimate of the harvest.
The yield per mu was about one thousand kilograms!
You know, this was upland rice!
The yield of upland rice is usually worse than low-yielding paddy rice.
But now, this level was almost catching up with high-yielding rice varieties.
A bumper harvest, a real bumper harvest!
This was a great joy for those who have farming engraved in their very souls!
This made Takumi so happy that he took out the bottle of wine that Hephaestus had given him before, which he had never been willing to drink.
Not to mention the output, this was the first harvest in the Dimensional City; he had to have a drink today!
But this wine was only for Takumi, Hestia, and Kochou Kanae.
Kochou Shinobu, Kanao, and little Hermione were not old enough to drink yet, so they could only drink some juice.
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
At the same time, Takumi also chatted with little Hermione.
In addition to Hermione being curious about this world and the worlds of Hestia and Kochou Kanae.
The main reason was that Takumi was asking her about the situation over there.
Hermione, who was still young and not very wary at all, talked about everything while she was happy.
Takumi also learned that the progress of the plot on her side had just started; it had not even been half a month since she started school.
"Judging from what you said and what you know, the magical world in your world is not a good place, at least for you who are Muggle-born and not pure-blooded."
"Ah?"
Little Hermione, who was chatting excitedly, was a little confused by Takumi's sudden words.
"Why do you say that?"
Takumi raised the wine bottle, took a drink, and said slowly: "The concepts of pure-blood and non-pure-blood, the title of 'Muggle' for ordinary people, and the existence of the Slytherin house."
"These various signs indicate that the magical world, or the wizarding world, is a very rigid, hierarchical, and extremely exclusive social system."
"As someone from an ordinary family, you are an outsider to them."
"Although the school will tolerate you, this is the limit. After all, you yourself said that all Slytherin students are more or less discriminatory toward you."
"Slytherin students are all from pure-blood families, that is, the ancient families in the wizarding world, the wealthy. They will be the future business owners of the wizarding world, or the people in power, the top leaders of wizarding society."
"It can be seen from this that your future in the wizarding world will not be easy. This has nothing to do with your ability. It is just because those pure-bloods do not accept you."
"..."
After Takumi finished speaking, little Hermione immediately fell silent.
If these words were told to other little wizards of the same age as little Hermione, they would be unlikely to understand.
But Hermione was very smart, and Takumi explained it very thoroughly, so she understood it.
This was almost like going to school when she was in the ordinary world.
Students with good family backgrounds would look down on those with poor family backgrounds and were not willing to play with them, even if they were top students.
And now she was the one with a poor family background.
This problem is even more serious in the wizarding world than in the world of ordinary people.
Ordinary people, if they can't find a job, can try to start a business, or even do some hard work, or go back to their hometown to farm.
And in the wizarding world... entrepreneurship?
You, a Muggle-born, don't even have a single gold galleon. You can't even start a business without capital!
Although you can exchange money from the ordinary world for money from the wizarding world.
But that is only a support policy for underage students.
Don't even think about it after graduation!
As for hard work?
According to the attitude of those pure-blood wizards, I'm afraid you won't even be able to work as manual laborers!
Even if it's your turn, don't expect too much from your salary. Just being able to make ends meet would be lucky!
As for returning to the hometown to farm... there is no need to think about it.
Muggle-born wizards can only go back to the world of ordinary people.
However, these non-pure-blood wizards spent their childhood and youth in the wizarding world. In the ordinary world, their academic qualifications are still at the elementary school level.
That's it; it's hard to make a living after returning to the world of ordinary people! So.
Many Muggle-born wizards only wake up belatedly after graduation, and it is already too late.
At this time, they have lost the right to choose.
Because no matter how they choose, they are already the bottom exploited people in both worlds.
