FRUITS OF THEIR HARDWORK

After the battle against the Horned Moles, we had a meal of the farm owner's ranch.

「You two used more magic power than I did, so just take a break here and go back later. I'll go back first and report to the guild.」

Dominic said this and left right after eating with us. Even though we said that can just go with him since we haven't received a huge amount of fatigue.

「I haven't done anything but watch you two fight so let me do my fair share of work! At least let me earn my money!」

⸻Is what he said to us.

「Now then, shall we go back slowly?」

「Yes, sensei. The day is still young, there's no need to hurry up.」

The landowner saw us off as we went back to the Pioneer City in our own pace.

「Still, the recovery from the fruits and vegetables are highly effective! No, I never doubted it once after reading it from the letter.」

「You're right, Dominic recovered quite well from his fatigue and so did we recover some magic power.」

I agree with Rinne's words. Just by eating some of those crops gives an effect that's equivalent to drinking some low quality potions. So this is the effect of the crops that could restore magic powers.

I used to have a『Farm Master』apprentice who wrote me letters about how he had developed some crops that could restore magic powers. The seeds of the crops were divided among the『Farmers』of the country who cultured, developed and spread to each in the Company. So the landowner is also a member of the Company.[1]

This is how I learned why there's a crop that can restore magic and how it spread to other places. However, you certainly can't understand things deeply unless you experience it for yourself. Take those crops for example and the amount of magic powers it restores. Furthermore, we felt quite energetic after eating the crops. Its really interesting to experience somethings that I haven't read from their letters.

Walking on the road that's beside the farm, I was lost in thoughts about how pleasant my journey will be when Rinne suddenly said⸻

「Ah, sensei. It seems your staff is reacting⸺」

Just as Rinne said, the staff in my hand was s.h.i.+ning.

「I didn't think it would react to a place like this.」

「Ah, maybe I left my magic around here, too.」

While saying that, I hold my staff and turn it around. Then, the moment I pointed to the direction of where the light strongly pointed at⸺over there. I walked in the direction and a big stone rolled away to the meadow, then the light of the book increased all of a sudden. At that moment⸺

【Release Conditions・Acknowledged・Return】[2]

A sheet of paper inscribed with those words appeared from the stone and was sucked straight into the book. Just like before, the pages of the book on the end of the staff increased once more.

「Ah! You've recovered your strength once again! To be able to restore your Prophet Magic at such a pace, Eisen-sensei is really amazing!」

「No, it's a coincidence that I could restore one of my magic skills at this place since I don't remember which location I've left my magic.」

During those moments, I have no time to think of what kind of magic skill I should leave at a specific location.

「To restore my magic, we need to visit various places like this…」

If we didn't receive this quest, I wouldn't have gotten my magic back.

「The more you go on your journey… Err, so the more places you visit on your journey, the more likely you will be strengthened accordingly.」

「In that case, I think it might be better to do things stealthily, like how we received a quest and left the city.」

「In that way, you'll be able to visit many more places… Come to think of it, what kind of power did you gain this time?」

At Rinne's words, I looked at the new page in the mini book of my staff and in there written⸻

『Skill【Prophet Range Enhancements I】』

That was the skill, although it was vaguely written to be understood⸺

『The range of the Prophet's ability to hear the words of spirits has expanded.』

Reading the words under the skill, I understood what kind of skill it was. This was all thanks to my previous state that I had such an ability.

「Oh, so that's it. It seems the range of my Prophet Magic has extended.」

「Wah, so sensei's Prophet Magic once again strengthened! I've never seen sensei at his peek so I'm excited to see you regain your strength!」

「Now, now, even if I could regain all my powers I'll just look like your normal Prophet.」

Even my appearance hasn't change from the past but having to increase my magic powers isn't a bad idea.

「Un, the quest was a successfully done, the food we have eaten were delicious and I even restored some of my magic⸺it's all a huge success. Let's go back to the guild now.」

「Roger, sensei! 」

I really appreciate this journey because I was able to regain some of my strength. And so, Rinne and I went back to Pioneer City.
