It's all one flower.

477. Mushroom flock

Pharmacist (dull) Awellana decided to go to the woods after breakfast to pick up the ingredients.

Saying that there are plants growing on the lake shore that weren't there near the base may be a different kind of medicinal herb growing in the woods as well as around there.

The rest of the heat is harsh, but there is no more cicada voice, and if the sun goes down, the kools will sound. I might have been able to pick nuts and grass fruits too.

"I'm going to the woods for a moment"

Put a few plastic bags in the cloth bag that the needle Amiella made for me and, just in case, speak to Captain Solgnac, who was nearby.

The captain, who was picking the herb, looked up and saw the woods.

"Alone?

"What? Yeah, if you need anything, you can get away with [jumping]..."

"If you get raided from behind, you can't cast a spell."

To Captain Solgnac's point, Awellana lost her word. Bite your lips on the sweetness of your assumptions. The captain lifted his hips and left the bag in the boy soldier morph he was picking nearby.

"Let's accompany you. I'll get my sword."

"Is that okay?

"I don't mind. More than that, we'll all be in trouble if you die."

Captain Solniak, in his unmistakable footsteps, headed to the truck carrier.

... Even though I'm a Kirkulus, Magic Sword, they use it.

As Awellana distracted herself from the captain's back, she caught sight of Medvege picking herbs round her big back. A few days ago, this Kirkulus driver also took a magical sword to the woods to protect Kruilo.

... I couldn't abandon my faith, so I lived a painful life in the Autonomous Community, and now I abandon my faith. But we... try to protect the wizard.

What change of heart had befallen them, who terrorized for their faith and burned the city of Zerneau? I could not imagine Awellana, the people of the lake, but my chest was stuck with difficulty and at the same time with apologies and nausea.

Now, if I could be abandoned, then, if I had converted to Fraxinus and left the Autonomous Community, I wouldn't have done that... and my thoughts would sink into what can't be done now.

"You kept me waiting."

Awellana was drawn back from a dark thought to reality by that voice and received a magical dagger from Captain Solgnac.

With a dagger about fifty centimeters across the blade, [magic crystal] is embedded in the root of the pattern (s). Holding a tightly heavy sword with both hands, a pale glow dwelt in the crystal.

In the story of the furkill procured, it seems that the sharpness changes according to the strength of the magic of those in hand.

If a powerful people fills with magic, even a powerless people can only use the magic stored in [the crystal of magic] once, and attack monsters without entities.

Originally a sword that assumes the use of a powerful people, but in Awellana it is heavy and unwieldy. Returning a dagger with a magical glow to Captain Solgnac, he bowed his head small.

"Okay, let's go"

"Take care."

Dropped off by Medvege and Juvenile Soldier Morph, they split into forest beast paths.

The trees grow depressed, the weather is nice but dim. Look for herbs and edible plants as Awellana stands first and chases away the miscellaneous demons with the [exorcism] of her clothes. Every time they walked, a small moth flew by surprise and left to the back of the woods.

After only fifteen minutes of twisting and bending beast paths, I went out to a somewhat pioneered place.

There are several decaying stumps, surrounded by broad-leaved young trees that grew taller than Captain Solgnac's back length.

Pharmacist (dull) Awellana found bright yellow and orange mushrooms beside the stump.

Crouch down and observe closely.

Hard, glossy fungus, same color pattern leading to the edge of an orange umbrella. Looking around again, this little square and the trees around it were all evergreen broadleaf trees.

Definitely. A thousand year old mushroom.

Mushrooms in shapes similar to shoe straps have long been unusual for their nourishing properties. It is said that a sip of alcohol mixed with this medicine on a particular day by the Eternal Life Race will increase your life expectancy by a month.

It is not edible and cannot be processed solely by hand tools and magic drugs, and by the technique acquired by Awellana, but it can be bought at a high price at a store where there is a handover (once) available to the pharmacist who can process it. In the big city, they traded at high prices as merchandise, even if the highly skilled pharmacists had no handouts.

When Awellana gazed among the weeds, they were growing all over the place.

Immediately after growing, it is bright yellow and discolours to orange as it grows. Slowly growing over the years, the aged mushrooms leave the edge of the umbrella and the whole thing becomes orange.

There are plenty of them, from yellow juveniles in the form of fists thrust up into heaven to orange germs with umbrellas open into fan-shapes.

"Captain, there are a lot of mushrooms to be drugged"

"Right. Let's keep an eye on him."

Captain Solgnac answered by pulling out his dagger.

Awellana leaves the yellow young bacteria intact, pulls through the orange germs that grew into shoe cane moulds, and gently pays for the soil of the stone bump and puts it in one bag after another.

Pick a few herbs that were growing beside you and clean them up in another plastic bag.

... because this is a valuable material, toolstore, would you trade it for an [endless bag] instead of a bull horn of fire?

When several plastic bags swelled and cloth bags were about full, a nervous voice came down.

"Warcraft."

As he stood up in a hurry, a white star blinked in front of him and quickly filled his sight. The force falls out of his knees and enters the scene.

"What's up?

"Because of my sudden rise, I felt dizzy..."

My tongue stopped spinning a little too. I can hear myself in the distance. There were signs that Captain Solniak was small and breathtaking.
