Plot

[edit]

During the final years of his life, Hiraku Machio remained confined to a hospital bed with a terminal illness until he finally passed away. Taking pity on the unfair life he lived, a god decides to reincarnate Hiraku in another world where he can live as he pleases. Wanting to try farming in this new life, he is bestowed with an all-in-one "Almighty Farming Tool" that can transform into any useful implement he wishes. Hiraku is then transported to a forest seemingly far from civilization. Here, he plans to build and farm everything from scratch—gradually developing the lifeless area into a thriving new society.

Hiraku has endless stamina, which his wives fear at times; he enjoys intimacy a bit too much. While starting out on his own, Hiraku is granted the Omnipotent Farming Tool and ends up befriending wolves he named Kuro and Yuki, and the demon spider he named Zabuton, and even accepting humanoid species into his settlement. To some of his confusion, Hiraku ends up with a harem with at least seven wives and children, though some of the elves have children with him solely for continuing their bloodline.

Village founder, Hiraku Machio awakens from a dream of dying from a terminal illness in his past life then goes about his normal day running his farming village populated by demi-humans. In the past the God of Earth chose to reincarnate Hiraku as an apology for his unusually harsh life and painful terminal illness. Hiraku asked to reincarnate as a farmer as he loved watching farming shows in the hospital. God gifts him a powerful new body and the magic Omnipotent Farming Tool, which can summon any tool he requires and can be used without growing tired. Awakening in a forest far from civilization, Hiraku selects the largest tree as the site for his farm and with the Tool is able to construct a well, build a camp and dig his first field. To his amazement the Tool causes crops to begin sprouting without planting seeds first. After a few weeks he rescues a pair of wolves he names Kuro and Yuki who gives birth same night to four puppies. Adopting all the wolves to protect the farm from monsters, Hiraku eventually begins harvesting his first crop. Elsewhere, a young traveling woman hears tales of the monster-filled Death Forest and decides to investigate.

God realizes 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.
3"More and More New Roommates"
Transliteration: "Dōkyonin Zokuzoku" (Japanese: 同居人 続々)		Takeshi ShigaTouko MachidaDaiji IwanagaJanuary 20, 2023 (2023-01-20)
An angel named Tia appears searching for Ru and is surprised to find her married to Hiraku. Tia reveals Ru has a bounty on her after she destroyed a town, though Ru insists it was justified since a noble kept her imprisoned there. Ru abruptly invites Tia to live with them, and after experiencing their farming life, she takes to it like a natural. The wolves have even more puppies, so Hiraku expands the farm to give them more space. Half of Zabuton's babies leave to find their own territory, but the others live on Hiraku's fruit trees. Needing workers, Tia invites seven girls to the farm, members of an almost extinct high elf clan who need a permanent home to rebuild their population. Due to their long lifespans, the elves have multiple skills, including construction, blacksmithing and baking. Hiraku worries the Demon Lord who controls the forest will accuse him of stealing the land, but Ru assures him the Demon Lord won't care. Hiraku decides to improve the waterways around the farm.
4"Waterways Make Life Feel Complete"
Transliteration: "Suiro wa Kurashi o Jūjitsu Saseru" (Japanese: 水路は暮らしを充実させる)		Tōru KitahataTouko MachidaTōru KitahataJanuary 27, 2023 (2023-01-27)
Zabuton captures a monster Queen Bee and gives it to Hiraku who constructs a shed for her to build a hive and produce honey. Hiraku and the elves construct a canal and reservoir for access to water and fishing. With an abundance of water, Hiraku constructs his first rice field and uses the first harvest to make onigiri with fish. Next, they construct a bath house, including a second reservoir which they filled with slimes to purify water from the baths before returning it to the river. Hiraku is able to have a bath, but his relaxing bath becomes very stressful surrounded by nine beautiful, naked ladies who insists on joining him in the bath. Five additional elven girls make their way to the farm, so Hiraku decides to build more houses. The elves seem determined to begin having babies as soon as possible, worrying Hiraku as he is the only man among an increasing number of women. Kuro the wolf narrates he is grateful to Hiraku for giving him and his family a permanent home. He is certain Hiraku, who easily survives in Death Forest and attracts so many potential wives, must be more than an average human.
5"Curry and Surviving the Winter"
Transliteration: "Karē to Ettō" (Japanese: カレーと越冬)		Yūsuke OnodaSōichirō KojimaYasuyuki ŌishiFebruary 3, 2023 (2023-02-03)
At everyone else's insistence, Hiraku's house is rebuilt even larger with single bedrooms for himself, Ru and Tia; and a communal dining room for everyone to share. Hiraku wisely ignores the secret double bed hidden behind a locked door. Hiraku harvests his first crop of spices, allowing him to make curry with naan bread. Ru and Tia become obsessed with turning cilantro into protective charms against Hiraku's wolves who dislike the strong smell, as they still remember the wolves beating them up the first times they came to the farm. Winter approaches so everyone begins stockpiling supplies, particularly firewood and preserved food. Hiraku fears he isn't contributing enough as he is the only one unable to use magic, but Lea assures him no one else has managed to live and thrive in Death Forest before. Winter arrives so with everyone confined indoors Hiraku introduces board games, allowing Ru and Tia to maintain their rivalry without damaging anything. Hiraku is surprised the wolves can also play, with Kuro easily defeating Ru at chess and Hiraku at Mah-jong. Spring eventually arrives but before they can plant new crops, Zabuton sounds the alarm as a giant Wyvern approaches the farm.

Transliteration: "Mura Desu" (Japanese: 村です)		Hidehiko Kadota
Ryōichi Kuraya		Ryōichi KurayaRyōichi KurayaFebruary 10, 2023 (2023-02-10)
Hiraku's Farming Tool spontaneously transforms into a magical spear, which he uses to kill the Wyvern. The slaying of a legendary Wyvern terrifies the Demon Lord's Generals, and Dryme the Dragon King, who all wonder who exactly is living in Death Forest. Hiraku grows grapes to make wine. God is punished by his daughter, the Goddess of Agriculture, who reveals the Farming Tool he gave Hiraku is actually a replica of Gryme the God Spear, and Hiraku has only survived using it because God coincidentally granted him a supernaturally healthy body. Zabuton and the wolves catch another vampire who turns out to be Ru's sister Flora. As another researcher, Flora is fascinated by Hiraku's description of fermenting microorganisms which make wine, miso and tofu, so she moves onto the farm, bringing cows and two dozen ogre maids with her. Feeling outnumbered, Tia invites three more angels and a tribe of Lizardmen who provide chickens. Another thirty elves arrive, all with plans to have babies. Hiraku really starts to worry about the absence of other men. As the farm expands to fit everyone Hiraku renames it the Great Tree Village and throws a feast to celebrate the occasion where everyone unanimously declares Hiraku as the Village Mayor.

Transliteration: "Omotenashi no Kokoro" (Japanese: おもてなしの心)		Masahiko SuzukiTouko MachidaDaiji IwanagaFebruary 17, 2023 (2023-02-17)
Demon General Beezel meets with Hiraku who offers the Demon Lord 10% of his harvest as a yearly tax. Beezel accepts but later reveals to Generals Grattz and Randan he only accepted 10% for fear of what is protecting Hiraku's village: Vampire Princess Ru, Angel of Annihilation Tia, an army of elves, angels and Lizardmen, a pack of Inferno Wolves and a Greater Demon Spider. Dragon King Dryme also visits the village. Hiraku realises as mayor the need to cultivate diplomatic relationships, so they build an embassy to house overnight visitors. Hiraku also wisely educates the villagers on the difference between guests and unwelcome intruders. Their next visitors are Beastmen from Howling Village, miners and hunters whose leader Garf negotiates a trade agreement; silver, iron, and glass in exchange for food crops. In exchange for wine Dryme agrees to ferry trade goods between the Great Tree Village and Howling Village. Eventually, twenty Beastmen ask to move into Great Tree village, all young women. Hiraku finally puts his foot down and demands the Beastmen send men to live in the village as well, only to find the "men" they send are boys too young to marry anyone for at least 10 years.
8"The Researcher and the Two Princesses"
Transliteration: "Kenkyūsha to Futari no Ojō-sama" (Japanese: 研究者と二人のお嬢さま)		Takeshi ShigaSōichirō KojimaDaiji IwanagaFebruary 24, 2023 (2023-02-24)
As Sena and the other Beastmen acclimate to village life, Hiraku still worries about not being able to use magic. He later defeats a Grappling-Bear and a Bloody-Viper fighting outside the village, which he cooks for another village feast. With Flora's help Hiraku creates mayonnaise and miso. Later, dwarves led by Donovan visit the village to trade Hiraku's wine for distillation technology, allowing the village to brew corn whiskey. The dwarves end up moving into the village too. Hiraku hopes the dwarves might want to marry, but they are only attracted to women with beards. Two dragons appear and Hiraku almost kills one until Gucci (Dryme's butler) frantically reveals they are Dryme's daughter Lastismoon and wife Graffaloon, Graffaloon asks Lasty (Lastismoon's nickname) to stay in the village as a diplomat, hoping to avoid Hiraku becoming their enemy. Hiraku later assigns Lastismoon responsibility over all diplomatic relations, which the Demon general Beezel finds out on a produce-procurement mission. Terrified Hiraku now "commands" dragons, he sends his own daughter Flowrem to live in the village as a spy. Flowrem is shocked to observe the village's "army" is powerful enough to threaten the Demon Army and is even more shocked to learn from Lastismoon their "commander" Hiraku is a human strong enough he almost killed Graffaloon. Flowrem decides to stay in the village longer than planned despite being (at first) constantly nervous around Hiraku.

The village acquits a slime who drank a barrel of the village's precious wine. Autumn rolls in, and, over a hotpot, Hiraku misses seafood, so Flowrem and Lasty arrange to trade for fish with a merchant named Michael. As part of the deal, he requests to become Hiraku's Purveyor and manage all trade between Hiraku and the outside world. Hiraku senses Michael is trustworthy, though it is shown via comical flashbacks where Michael was terrified. Another dragon challenges Hiraku to a fight. After capturing her Hiraku discovers she is Hakuren, Dryme's immature older sister. Dryme explains Hakuren believed Lasty had married Hiraku and, being single herself, was jealous. Unamused, Hiraku forces Hakuren to repair the damage. Hakuren discovers board games and Hiraku is unwillingly drawn into strip-Mahjong that ends with the ladies seeing Hiraku lose and get naked. Beezel learns of Hakuren's presence in the village, causing his co-worker General Randan to forward his resignation letter in fear. Demon Lord Galgardo is more concerned his daughter Yuri is going through teenage rebellion. Hakuren tries to move into the village as an unemployed layabout, but after Hiraku punishes her enough times, she becomes the village schoolteacher. Hiraku discovers some Inferno puppies raided a dungeon home of Lamia ladies. After apologizing to them the Lamias begin trading dungeon treasure for crops. It eventually form a delivery service for all the trading villages. Meanwhile, Yuri is convinced Flowrem is Hiraku's prisoner and plans to invade the Great Tree Village.

Transliteration: "Ōhime Yūri" (Japanese: 王姫ユーリ)		Tōru KitahataTouko MachidaTōru KitahataMarch 10, 2023 (2023-03-10)
Flowrem learns of Yuri's intentions, but Yuri has been lied to by ambitious but known simpleton demon nobility, Rosalind, Klakkase and Roaju. Flowrem secretly arranges for Yuri's army to be defeated, but not killed, by the Lamia ladies. As punishment, Flowrem moves Yuri and the idiots into the village to work as an atonement, though she hides their attempted invasion from Hiraku for political reasons. The trio try to escape but are always foiled by the inferno wolves and demon spiders. The idiots grudgingly help Flowrem with the village's financial paperwork, becoming known as the Town Hall Trio. Learning the truth about the village Yuri regrets almost invading and returns home satisfied. The Trio decide to stay, preferring village life to demon court politics. Galgardo is confused by Yuri's abrupt personality change and mistakenly thinks she has a boyfriend. Five mountain elves led by Ya move into the village, using their fire magic to craft pottery goods. Flowrem foils a sneaky plot by the Trio to seduce Hiraku. A dungeon is discovered where resides another Bloody-Viper the elves want to hunt as its meat can increase their chances of pregnancy. As winter comes, Ru falls ill and becomes bed-ridden. Due to her symptoms, Sena suspects Ru is pregnant with Hiraku's baby.
11"Everyday Life and the Progenitor"
Transliteration: "Hibi to Shiso-sama to" (Japanese: 日々と始祖さまと)		Takeshi ShigaTouko MachidaDaiji IwanagaMarch 17, 2023 (2023-03-17)
As Ru's pregnancy progresses Hiraku goes about his daily schedule of running the village, farm work, checking up on everyone, ensuring village security and combat training. A man suddenly appears who turns out to be Vampire Progenitor Vargryfe, Ru and Flora's 4000 year old grandfather. Vampires usually have children by transforming another human into a vampire, so Ru's pregnancy is a rare occurrence. Having seen Hiraku's statue of the God who reincarnated him Vargryfe reveals he also met God once before being born as a vampire. He has forgotten most details since, to keep his sanity over his eternal lifespan, he erases his memories every few centuries. Hiraku carves Vargryfe a copy of the statue which Vargryfe secretly donates to the temple of the God of Creation. The priests are so entranced by such an accurate likeness of God they let it be known the Great Tree Village is under their protection. To celebrate Ru's pregnancy Vargryfe sends the village an expensive grand piano. The Trio are too nervous to play it so Hiraku ends up buying a cheaper version for them to practice on first, though regrets it when their practicing prevents him from a good night's sleep.
12"Birth"
Transliteration: "Tanjō" (Japanese: 誕生)		Hidehiko KadotaRyōichi KurayaYoshitaka Yasuda
Ryōichi Kuraya		March 24, 2023 (2023-03-24)
Ru's pregnancy continues. In solidarity, the village gives up alcohol until Ru can drink again. Ru's labor and delivery period is an uneasy time for Hiraku as he was banished from the house for the time being so he wanders the farm until Ru gives birth to their son Alfred, a half-vampire, and Hiraku is overjoyed at being a first time parent. Hiraku decides the village needs its own currency as their current system of trading goods is no longer sustainable, so he forges Great Tree coins and gives three to every villager, though there is some confusion regarding exactly what one coin is worth. To celebrate Alfred's birth a grand feast is held and the dwarves produce a celebratory wine to be saved until Alfred is old enough to drink. Beezel finally declares the Great Tree village to be too powerful to ever defeat and plans to become allies instead. Galgardo throws a tantrum, mistakenly thinking Beezel wants to arrange a political marriage between Yuri and Hiraku. Hiraku receives requests from almost two hundred people wishing to move to the village to escape wars or persecution, leading to a decision to build an entire second village nearby to house them all, Great Tree Village 2.
