I Became a Magical Cheat Loli Witch ~My Different World Life With My Reincarnation Privilege [Creation Magic] and the [Seed of Magic]~
Episode 14 [Searching for abandoned mines and returning home to the empty wilderness]
The second day after exploring the abandoned mine of Dwarf
When he wakes up at the inn and finishes breakfast, he enters the abandoned mine and returns to the [Void Wilderness] at the [Transition Gate], which was set up secretly.
"Welcome back, master"
"Now, Beretta. Will you remove the gemstones because you have defeated so many monsters? Can you burn the ashes and scatter them in the forest?"
"OK. The service dolls will work together to remove the magic stone. "
Beretta relentlessly bows down, but moves to a wilderness that has not yet been planted in the [Void Wilderness], where more than 200 insect monster carcasses are released.
I and Tet are used to it, and Beretta calmly looks at the pile of corpses, but some of the service puppets who come to help seem to have a few expressions.
"Roughly 214 animals. Well, they're all F or E rank monsters, but as expected, insect creatures have a great fertility. Then please, because I'm going to return once."
"Yes, please leave me"
So, trying to return to the abandoned mine from [Transition Gate], the service dolls have a look like despair.
And when I and Tet stopped my muttering feet, the light returned to my eyes as salvation appeared--
"A lot of monsters are settled in the abandoned mine, so please do it after tomorrow."
When I say so, I apologize to the service puppets who lose their light from their eyes as if they were pushed down to the bottom of despair again.
I want some organic matter from the creature carcass, but after tomorrow, I'd like to ask a dwarf town resident for demolition.
That way, the abandoned mine can create a little work in poor towns and reduce the burden on service dolls.
While thinking about such things, transfer to the place where the search was interrupted yesterday and aim for the hinterland of the mine.
A week later-large-scale extermination spells could not be used, as they could lead to the collapse of the abandoned mine, and they were defeated one by one, but the number of demons killed exceeded 1,000.
"I'm troubled by the large number."
"The further you go, the stronger you get."
Put your hand on your chin and think about an efficient defeat method.
"Witch, what do you do?"
"How can I kill insects with strong vitality at once? Spray with insecticide?"
Indeed, if a pesticide that kills monsters is scattered throughout the abandoned mine, it will kill even the surrounding soil and beneficial insects in the surrounding land.
In addition, since such a powerful medicine will also have a bad effect on the human body, shake your head to shake off the idea.
"Hmm. I'm in trouble."
"Witches, witches ... proceed steadily"
"That's right. The number is definitely decreasing and let's beat it."
Originally, the number of monsters increased explosively, but there were a wide variety of monsters in this abandoned mine, and even if they bred, there was a constant number of monsters inside the abandoned mine, whether they could bite and cannibalize each other.
It has been steadily decreasing because I and Tet have exterminated it.
Then, spending a month crushing the demon monsters in the upper part of the abandoned mine and using demon avoidance and barrier magic at important points to prevent the monsters from rising to the ground.
"Now it's the middle class."
"It's not a very pleasant place."
The demons on the upper level have been destroyed, and Earth Sonar has about 5000 remaining.
Tet, who has eaten the gem of the demon that has gathered in the past month with Polypoli, sets foot with me in the middle class.
"The nature of the air has changed at once"
"It's more magical than air."
At this stage, you can not only feel the stagnation of the air, but also the stagnant magical power that boils from the back of the abandoned mine.
"For the time being-" Purification "!"
"Oops, the magic has returned."
The magic of purification is very useful.
This magic is effective against anti-magic disasters and evil magical creatures.
in addition--
"I guess the worst situation I think must occur in the interior of this abandoned mine."
"What is the worst situation?"
"The pot of poison is in a state."
Tet explains in an easy-to-understand manner to tilt the small neck.
[Poison of poison] or [pot of poison of poison] is one of the ancient magics.
A type of magic that traps a large number of venomous insects in one small vase, cannibalizes each other, and uses the last remaining powerful poisonous poison to curse and kill the target.
"Insects and monsters that have been activated by the magical powers that spill over from the veins breed. And the evolution and mutation from cannibalism and the accumulation of curses due to the death of many monsters ..."
At worst, there may be a giant monster that destroys one nation, or it may be filled with miasma that turns abandoned mines into uninhabitable land.
"The request that the goddess has asked for in the oracle. Tet, is the way right here?"
"The witch is okay. However, there are many monsters and the burden on the witch is great!"
In the middle part of the abandoned mine, the light source “light”, purification “purification” for the magical power that has stuck, and the barrier “barrier” and “air control” to secure air. In addition, my attacks consume a lot of magic because I use multiple magics, such as repeatedly hitting Wind Cutter.
"At this pace of exploration, six hours is the limit."
My magic continues to eat [mysterious tree nuts] every day, and the amount of magic continues to grow.
At present, just over 300,000, the magical skills are more control than firepower.
Therefore, you can now use more than five types of magic at the same time.
Nevertheless, if you continue to use multiple spells at the same time, you will consume a lot of magic power, but that's it.
However--
"I've worked too much lately and if I work hard until noon, I'll go home once!"
"Yes, yeah. Let's go and see Beretta."
As for the strength of the monsters already appearing from the middle class, monsters equivalent to the C rank have begun to appear as flickering.
Of course, we are not our enemy, so we will quickly defeat them, purify them so that their magical power will not spread further, and set up a barrier magic device at the forefront of the search.
Then, return to the safety point created near the entrance of the abandoned mine by transfer magic, and then return to the [Void Wilderness] mansion at [Transition Gate].
"Master, Tet, come home"
"Beretta, right now"
"I'm right now!"
I guess he was always waiting for Beretta to arrive as soon as he came home, but apparently he was working a lot in the kitchen garden he had built outside.
They seemed to have harvested and preserved the vegetables they had eaten and made food with them.
"master. Have you finished lunch yet? If necessary, we will prepare now ”
"Yes, then please."
"I'm looking forward to Beretta cooking!"
Then Tet and I wait for Beretta's service doll.
Ingredients include vegetables made in the kitchen garden outside, ingredients purchased in the town, dismantled edible parts of demons defeated, seasonings made with [creative magic], etc. [Storage]-cold storage time With a stop effect-there is a thing, take out the ingredients from there and prepare.
"master. Today we have a plate menu so you can enjoy a variety of flavors. "
Then served a small Yamagata chicken rice, meat spaghetti, two fried chicken and a mini hamburger. And pudding for salads, soups and desserts.
"This is ... a kids lunch."
"It looks delicious! I'll have you!"
For Tet who starts eating happily right away, I grab a spoon with a slight expression.
I guess I'm reincarnated in a different world and I'm over araphore, but I wonder if I'll have a kids lunch this year.
However, each dish can be eaten normally, and if you eat it one by one, it is usually delicious.
"Beretta, it's delicious"
"I'm honored to keep it in praise. The master is a small and small meal, so we devised to enjoy various tastes at once. "
"It's delicious! I want to eat again!"
Tet requests, but for me, eating a kids lunch this year is something ... I feel like I've lost.
"Well, for me, it's Beretta's burden to make small portions, and with this amount of food I guess Tet is a bit short."
"Well, when I say that, I feel a little short."
"Thank you for taking care of us. However, I forgot that there was such an opinion. I'll make it that way in the future. "
Okay, I managed to avoid child lunch as a standard in the future, so I made a small fist.
But it's really delicious, and eating it bit by bit is a luxury.
"But sometimes this isn't bad either."
Even though the spirit of the adult feels rejected, perhaps a meal close to the earth has come out.
After that, she receives tea after eating from Beretta and talks about their closeness.
Beretta is currently only active in this house, but seems to be able to enjoy the house management, kitchen garden, and even just reading the books I have collected in various places.
And recently, I've been working on demolishing demonic carcasses.
"Master, this book is really wonderful"
What Beretta shines and reads is the book I created with Creative Magic.
Translated into different world languages, it is a book of recipes for various dishes, how to grow flowers growing in a vegetable garden or at home, and a book on techniques for doing housework.
"I want to grow this vegetable in the spring. In addition, master wants to grow this flower. Would you please give me the seeds?
"Okay, I mean, I'm glad Beretta was having fun."
With a bitter smile, I create flowers and vegetable seeds that appear on the pages of the submitted book using [Creative magic].
In addition, the service puppets of subordinates entrusted to Beretta continue to manage the mansion under Beretta's instructions without exceeding the framework of the function as a magician.
However, only one individual has a somewhat clumsy service doll and hopes that individual will have a little soul.
"Thank you, Master. Then consult with one master. "
"What is it?"
"At present, this land is gradually regenerating, but the number of insects is increasing. Is it the next stage soon?
As the number of insects increased, I finally felt that I had reached that stage. I recalled the path of regeneration and nodded with joy.
"I understand. That's what I think."
"Witch? If the number of insects increases, why not?"
I explain, for Tet to ask while tilting her neck.
"The bottom layer of the food chain is growing and the number of insects is increasing, so I'm thinking of bringing creatures that eat insects to the [empty wilderness]."
The soil that has matured in the body of mulch and tet, the microorganisms and small insects mixed with it, and the number of small insects have increased, and everywhere is a paradise for insects.
-[Decomposers] such as ants and earthworms that eat and decompose plant fallen leaves and dead creatures.
-[Consumers] such as herbivorous insects, which are insects that grow by eating leaves of trees.
As they grow, the next step is to release carnivorous insects and insects that eat such creatures and omnivores that eat nuts.
"I see. Is that something good?"
"In the future, if birds who come to eat the carnivorous insects nest in the forest, they will lay eggs, and if they hunt, they will become meat."
"Currently, we are planning to increase the number of chickens brought as livestock and release some of them to the field, but that does not create natural diversity."
"It's very important! The type of food is very important!"
Basically, with a bitter smile on Tet who understands about food, we are only getting a part of such a natural food chain.
"For the time being, I have the knowledge that was once planted in Riliel in the oracle, so I'll try to find a creature that's no problem restoring the wilderness."
"Thank you, Master"
Then, after talking about the state of our abandoned mine town and the dwarf parent and child at the inn where we were staying, we went back down the [Transfer Gate] before dusk.
