Genius artist Pisocchoooo!
Has arrived at the Snow Festival!
It’s been a while since I traveled; my legs feel sore!
Thanks to the cold, I feel even worse!
“Well, the Maestro hasn’t been summoned anywhere lately since you haven’t sold a single art piece. Your hermit period was quite lengthy, wasn’t it?”
Don’t ask me such a thing, Mr. Art Dealer!
You brought me here to revive my motivation, didn’t yo...

I am Pisoccho from the human race.
My name will be engraved in history and passed down for hundreds of years to come.
Why, you ask?
Because I’m a prodigy!!!
But not just any genius, you know?
A genius artist!
God must have given me such rich talents to be both a genius and an artist!
Huh?
What do you mean a genius and an artist are different concep...

I was born in a poor village where even young children had to work to earn their daily meals.
I, too, had to start working as soon as possible to provide for my younger siblings.
I did all sorts of jobs.
Jobs like helping with the crops, caring for the livestock, carrying goods for merchants, helping with housework, and even babysitting.
My parents said I didn...

Who is that woman?!
“It’s the girl who holds a thousand beans and leads to a thousand strengths! The masked royal, Miss Bean Crush, makes her guest appearance!!!”
The audience roars loudly.
Oh, yes. There are quite a number of spectators in this event, and they have been watching and cheering for the previous snowball fights.
But...
2023-04-25 13:28:43 +0000 UTC View PostThus, the snowball fight began in earnest.
We, the Selfless Workaholics Nouveau, advanced to victory through a rapid and overwhelming offensive.
We threw snowballs.
And we threw them relentlessly.
It’s as if we were throwing away all the frustrations and troubles that weighed us down.
We threw with single-minded determination until we realized we had won fight after fight.

Hard workers.

They’re all hard workers.

“Alright, please wait a moment until we announce the teams.”
The receptionist is an elegant woman holding a baby in her arms.
She seems too refined for a commoner... Have I met her somewhere before?
It does not matter.
Ultimately, I decided to participate in this snowball fight, but before that, let’s review the...

I ended up coming along.
We crossed the border into the Human Kingdom, heading towards the outskirts of a certain territory.
Our pretext was inspection, and the plan was to directly confirm the disaster-stricken area buried in heavy snow.
Along with the Demon King, the de facto ruler, I, the Prime Minister, who also manages our nation’s affairs, came along...

Our former lord... Great Demon King Baal.

“If you want war, start with a coup and overthrow your son.”
Well, I’ll do everything in my power to stop that, though.

2023-04-19 09:35:32 +0000 UTC View PostAll right then.
I wonder how our other big event at the Snow Festival—the snowball fight—is going?
I head over to the snowball fight arena, which is quite some distance from the snow sculptures so they don’t get smashed.
“Oh, hi, Dear! I see you’ve come to my battlefield!” exclaims Platy, who is in charge of the snowball fight arena.
For some reason, she has become the host of this battlefield.
She’s...
2023-04-15 19:58:18 +0000 UTC View PostNow, what I’m really curious about during the Snow Festival is Sensei.
Sensei, the Lifeless King.
Our dependable senior (of a whole different level) on the farm.
I wondered to what extent he’s involved in the Snow Festival, but in reality, not much at all.
He’s got his hands full preparing for the graduation ceremony.
The young people from the three races—humans, demons, and mermaids—whom Sensei has brought up...

Despite my worries about suddenly changing the theme, I feel relieved, seeing as things are bustling.
The first thing that catches people’s attention is the snow Tokyo Tower I built.
It’s big, so it’s naturally eye-catching.
However, because of its sheer size and building material used—snow—some people might worry about ...

Do you ever feel like your days are dull and uneventful?
I certainly do.
The days seem to overlap with each other with no change or excitement.
Wake up, go to work, mechanically complete tedious paperwork, clock out, and when I return home, I have unengaging conversations with my family, and I’m bored to death till I go to sleep.
Years have passed, living in this...
2023-04-11 19:05:29 +0000 UTC View PostPreparations for the Snow Festival are steadily progressing.
Since the main event is the snow sculptures, creating them is one of its highlights.
That’s why we’ll be checking the progress of each team’s snow sculptures.
First, Maelga’s elf team.
As a member of the woodworking team, her skills perfectly match her creation, and she has laid out a superb masterpiece.

2023-04-10 13:39:01 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone is steadily preparing for the snow festival.
As the person in charge, I look around.
While surveying the area, something strange catches my eye.
“What are you doing, Platy?”
“Oh, hi, Dear!”
A group of people was in a hubbub, and it seemed like my wife, Platy, was at the center of it all.
With our youngest son, Norito, still a baby in her arms, she gives quick instructions to the goblins she leads....
2023-04-07 19:11:09 +0000 UTC View PostThere you have it; the snow festival is officially happening.
Everyone on the farm has already started preparing and coming up with their own ideas.
Luckily, there’s plenty of snow to go around. I mean, we did gather a bunch of snow from various places.
So, let’s create some masterpieces with all this snow we’ve got.
Just nothing too weird or crazy.
Things were going pretty smoothly until, suddenly, the conversa...

“Listen up, everyone. We’ve devised a general plan for Orkubo’s Castle this year.”
I bet you’re all curious.
Given the heavy snowfall this year, it’s clear that we can’t hold the event.
The venue will likely be buried in snow and physically impossible to use. Even if we were to go ahead with it, attracting people already struggling with heavy snow in...

Just like the other two major races in the world—the humans and the demons—mermaids were invited to our farm for an exchange study program. However, they differ slightly in terms of background.

A World Heritage site!
There are different types of pyramids, such as step, bent, and true pyramids, but the one built on my farm is the classic tetrahedron.
There’s no Sphinx, but I fear they actually might add it later.
While I’m amazed by this huge structure, there’s still plenty of undeveloped land on my farm, so it doesn’t feel too cramped.
