Episode 12

**Birth** ( 誕生, *Tanjō*) is the 12th episode of Farming Life in Another World anime series.

## Synopsis

Hiraku's second chance was just the beginning. As he reflects on the changes that occurred since his arrival, one thing is certain: The Great Tree Village is lively as always.

## Summary

Hiraku calls for a lunch break, however he ends up continuing to work until Ru calls him to stop and join them for lunch. He wonders if she should be moving, but she explains its fine and that she heard she needs to exercise. All the girls are also quite kind and concerned about Ru, however she explains she is fine, but her problem is that she can't drink alcohol.

The Three Killer Angles make a request to Hiraku to sell off all the alcohol. Hiraku then learns that the girls decided to give up alcohol for Ru, but thinking they can't drink is driving them crazy. Because of that the angels believe that selling the alcohol may solve the temptation problem. Hiraku believes they will end up regretting selling the alcohol as its not something they can produce quickly again. He suggest an alternative, telling them to think of how the alcohol changes taste the longer it age.

Donovan and the other dwarfs ask Hiraku if they have done something wrong as no one wants to drink alcohol anymore. After Hiraku explains, Donovan is happy and states that they don't need to lower the production, but actually increase it. Hiraku agrees, noting that he is sure that later everyone will drink more to make up for the lost time.

Ru's pregnancy is going well and the time to give birth almost comes. Everyone in the village then starts giving her various gifts. That evening, Ru feels its time and later she gives birth during the night. In the morning, Hiraku meets his son, Alfred, and holds him.

A week has passed and Hiraku recalls how everything started from him living alone to now being a father. He isn't sure if his son is half-vampire, as at the moment he looks like a human. As he recalls everyone giving presents, he decides to do something to thank them for their kindness. He gathers the girls and explains he want to start a new system. He gives them reward medals (silver coins) and states they can trade them for things they like. Tia realizes that's like money and Hiraku confirms, stating he figured that one day the village will need its own currency. Until now Hiraku has been taking all the goods and distributing them to everyone. If someone wanted something, they come and ask him, but with the increased population, handling all the transactions by himself became impossible. They wonder if they can't just continue trading goods between them, but Hiraku gives them an example were different people put different value on certain goods, which is why he wants to use currency. Since it will cause a turmoil if they suddenly switch to the currency, Hiraku plans to start by giving the coins as reward medals. Hiraku gives everyone three coins, however as the wolves and spiders are too many, he gives each group 30 medals. Some of the people traded them right away, while others liked to just have them and not spend them. Hiraku starts getting more custom orders of furniture and toy, and feels he actually now works even more than before.

Soon they have a big feast to celebrate the birth of Hiraku's son, where everyone are finally able to drink again. Ru brings a wooden hammer that Donovan had gifted her before and the dwarf bring a big barrel, stating its a new kind of wine they made and states they need to use the wooden hammer to open the barrel. Donovan wonders how is the wine, but Ru explains that she still can't drink as she is breastfeeding the child, but she is fine watching everyone else drinking. Donovan then suggest they bottle some of it, so that they can drink it later. Hiraku likes the idea and states they can keep it until Alfred is old enough to drink and drink it with him.

At the Demonic Kingdom, Beezel tells them that Hiraku's village had a baby. They had finally realized they can't defeat the village and wonder how to keep a good relationship with them. Glatts suggest they marry someone from the kingdom to someone to the village, but the Demon Lord mistakes it that they want to marry Yuri and is against it.

Tia, Hakuren and Fraurem tells Hiraku that there are some people who want to move here as they want to escape a war. Hearing that the number is over 100, Hiraku believes they will need another village in order to take that many people. Ru then states they should do it. The girls agree as that means more people can move in and suggest they call it The Great Tree Village 2. Hiraku states it will be a lot of work, but the girls are ready to give their best. Hiraku agrees and they start thinking where to start it.
