Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

It's been about a week since I started the study group.

We still don't know what Herman achieved, but Frank's magic grew rapidly.

Here lately, Frank has been circulating his body's magic as long as he has time.

I was surprised when I was in class.

"Well, this is how I should have spent my spare time".

He said he couldn't help but be glad that he was getting more and more magical, and he became obsessed.

Yeah, yeah, I know how that feels.

And it was my first day off in third grade.

Today's study group is closed.

Of course, the reason is because I'm on an adventure!

I told the two of you that it's important to rest once in a while and say something appropriate.

Well, we were both saying we could work on our own or something.

That's why I'm currently looking at Bell and Guild bulletin boards.

"Yeah...... I knew the D-class at the bottom would only be an easy request"

"I don't have a choice. Because by doing the trick from the simple stuff, you get stronger."

"So is that... so which one should I be today..."

I'm going to check the stickers for Class D.

"I wish to search! Kimberly Family Cat Reward: Two Silver Coins

"Cleaning Reward for Mansion: One Silver Coin"

"Seeking medicinal herbs! Reward: One silver coin per ten tickets'

"Dog Walking Reward: Fifty Copper Coins"

"Grass Reward: One Silver Coin"

Mostly worth around 2,000 yen for a single piece of silver coin.

That's all cheap work.

"Me, I think it's a good idea to ask for some herbs. How about that?

"Yes, I have no particular problem with that either"

"Copy that. Then take this to the reception."

I stripped the herb request and lined up in the reception row.

"Yes, that's a request for medicinal herbs. Bring ten herbs to the guild and you will achieve it. The place grows in the western forest of the imperial capital. And if you don't know what the herbs are, I suggest you check with the pharmacy before you leave the capital."

"Okay."

After meeting the receptionist's sister, she left the guild.

"Has Bell ever seen a herb?

I know because I learned it at school.

"I do. Because I didn't have the money to buy potions in the orphanage."

"It was. Well, let's get going."

"Okay."

Then I left the west gate of Teito to look for the woods.

Hmm? One side around, nothing?

I don't see any woods...

"Could that be it? That's quite a long way..."

There was certainly to be a forest in the western direction, but it was far enough away to be seen critical.

"I don't have a choice. Walk patiently."

"Well... that's more rewarding than any other request."

It's going to take me half a day just to get back and forth.

All right, shall we just head to the woods?

Yeah, it's faster to hold the bell and run than to walk with you, right?

Yeah, let's do that.

"Hold on tight."

"Huh? Ca! What are you doing!?

Because I was lifted accidentally, or rarely did the bell scream cute for me.

"You'd better get there soon if I ran like this, wouldn't you?

If you walk this far, you won't have much time to take the herb.

"Yes, but..."

He looked like Bell said something, but he ran out without caring.

Then we arrived in the woods in about twenty minutes.

If I had walked slowly with Bell, I wouldn't have gotten to the woods for another few hours.

"Okay, you're here. Well, we'll find herbs soon."

I'm not wasting this shortened time.

"Yes, I hope you find a lot"

"Don't worry about that! We have comfortable allies, so we're good."

"An ally? Is it also an item?

Oh, that's nice.

"Yeah, with Anna, you're gonna find a lot of them."

When you have something you want to look for, it's Anna, isn't it?

I showed Belle my partner's goggles.

"Really... you had a name on that goggle"

"Yeah, when you put this on, you talk to me."

"Huh!? That goggle, are you talking?

Speaking of which, didn't you tell me?

"That's right. Oh, yeah, Belle put it on."

"Uh, okay?

Even if Belle is wearing it, Anna will guide you well.

"Yeah, tell Anna where the herbs are when you get there."

I handed Anna to Bell.

"Ok...... wow! I've really talked to him."

When I put on my goggles, I was kicking around because they just talked to me.

"So now you know where it's growing?

"Yes, they have a lot of growing places in this direction"

Bell pointed to the back of the woods and told me.

"Oh, boulder Anna! I can count on you."

Now your first job as an adventurer is easy to accomplish.

And then, like, thirty minutes.

"Hey, haven't you?

You walked pretty well, didn't you?

Looks like we're almost there.

Almost there? I heard that earlier......

"And it's okay to go in the back like this? You don't come out with demons or anything?

There's demons here, right?

"Er... looks like he's here, but Master Leo says he'll be fine"

"Really? Okay."

Well, suppose there were demons here like I was dealing with and there was a problem, there wouldn't be an empire by now.

"Oh, it's around here. Wow, you're really growing a lot."

The bell stopped, so I looked around too.

Then there were surprisingly herbs growing at the roots of the trees growing around them.

Wow - really a lot.

"Boulder Anna. All right, I'll take a lot!

Then, the herb picking started.

Carefully remove the herbs to avoid scratching the leaves.

And after about an hour or so, I was finally able to get rid of the herbs that were within sight.

"Ugh, I guess that's it. Well, it's a hassle to walk home, and we can move closer to the Imperial City."

It's already a hassle to walk and run.

"Yes, please. Still, you took a lot."

That's what I said, and Bell turned to the bag I was carrying.

In the big bag, the bread is packed with medicinal herbs.

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing how many there are. Then I'll transfer."

He grabbed Bell's hand and transferred it near the Imperial City.

"Then head to the guild"

We made sure we moved near the Imperial City, and then we headed to the Alliance.

Then, when we arrived at the guild, it wasn't like in the morning. Inside the guild it was ragged.

Well, we'd have taken longer to get back if we hadn't used the metastasis, too, and it's a slower time to crowd out, and is this time slot free?

With that in mind, I reported it to my sister at the reception.

"Excuse me. I've accomplished the request, could you confirm it?

"Yes, then give me your card, will you? Uh... it's a request to collect herbs, isn't it?

The receptionist's sister looked twice at the bag I offered her, explaining.

Is something wrong with my bag?

"Yes, there's a lot in this bag, so can you check it out?

"Huh? Oh, yes... wait a minute..."

"Okay. Well, thank you."

The receptionist sister went in the back, holding the bag I had.

Maybe there's some magic equipment behind here that counts the number of pieces.

"Ha!? What is this number? You said you two brought this alone? Where the hell is it?

Hmm? I thought I heard some loud yelling... Yeah, I'm sure it's my fault.

With that in mind, a gray-haired grandfather came out of the back.

"You're the ones who brought the herbs... Oh, you mean that. Excuse me. Hey, just count the sheets and give me the reward!

When I thought it came out, I said so when I saw my face and went back to the back.

"Isn't that him, Master Leons? Yes, the grandson of that famous brave man. Oh, you must be so kind!

Um... I know you're going to be talking shit because your voice is smaller than just now... you hear it all, right?

How do you know my face!?

"And raise those two ranks. What, you have over two hundred herbs, so if you think you've accomplished twenty scheduled requests, you're not complaining, are you? Yeah, not really, but if you don't find out, you'll be fine. Look, just go."

That's why I'm hearing you.

We're finding out the wrongdoing...

"Oh, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. This is the reward for this one, thirty-one silver coins. Please check."

Oh, did you have three hundred?

Thirty-one pieces of silver coins, about 62,000 yen, seem to have been made.

What am I going to use it for?

With that in mind, I checked the number of silver coins.

"Yes, I'm fine"

"Okay. Oh, and this time, you've accomplished more than twenty requests, so you're going to be ranked higher. Congratulations!

Yeah, I just heard that.

"So as of tomorrow, take your C-rank request"

"Yes, I understand"

I had no idea it would be so easy to get a higher rank...
