Praise at the Birthday Banquet

There were Elf Bugs in the sea as well—this was a tremendous discovery.

Liszt could not help but ponder how to obtain the resources of marine Elf Bugs—he could swim, but he could not dive. It would be difficult to woo marine Elf Bugs, and relocating Bug Grass in the sea would be exceedingly troublesome. Besides, Bug Grass from deep-water regions might not be able to adapt to shallow-water environments.

Even if the Bug Grass could adapt, the marine plants influenced by it could not be moved to nearshore waters for cultivation. It would still be wasted effort—after all, they were marine plants and had fixed habitat requirements.
