Miniature Garden Chemister

23. Beginner's Course - 5

"Tact, Tact...!!! Please, open your eyes..."

Blood everywhere, tact lying on the ground.

You look very pale, not very, but you don't look alive.

The floor collapsed and fell because I pushed what looked like a switch on the wall. I was apparently covered in tact and in a miraculous condition where only a small scratch...

"Oh no... don't die, open your eyes, you want to..."

Why, why not. No, because I inadvertently touched the wall and activated the trap. Tact covered me.

I can't stop the tears from overflowing from my eyes, and I don't have a single hand with a healing pill (potion). Oh no! How could I not have had one for myself! I can only regret now that I've given it all away, but I still can't stop regretting it.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Somebody help me...

Help Tact, I don't care what happens... Huh!

"Please... if there are any herbs in this temple... hear my voice."

Inhale as much as you want, close your eyes and stop the tears that are overflowing.

"Angel Singing (Sanctuary)"!!

Please, my wish... arrive!

but you still didn't grow any herbivores... no sign of something happening.

"Ho ho!

"Tact!?

If I thought so, Tact regained his cough consciousness...!

But consciousness doesn't change anything serious. Because the treatment needs to be done quickly, it is only quick to see if there is a healing drug (potion) in the tact.

Then one came out of my pocket… Garnet Potion, a crimson healer I made.

"Saho... only half of it will be fine..."

"Ugh, yeah... ugh!

It was a tact of waking up the body and trying to drink it, but he collapses again with a relaxation. In a hurry, support the tact and carry the healing medicine (potion) to your mouth. Kokun and his throat rang small and the tact swallowed… the wound that happened to be damaged healed. I woke up slowly and "Thanks..." Tact smiled.

"Good. Ah..."

"It's okay now, don't cry"

"Because... it's all my fault... so, uhh..."

More than before, I couldn't stop crying because I was relieved. Really, really... good. I thought you wouldn't open your eyes like this anymore.

After I raised my voice and cried, Tact looked around to get up.

If I looked at his face, he seemed serious and had forgotten that he had been seriously ill until earlier. No, no, you were so dying... I'm just anxious that you should at least get some more rest.

"Hmm? Oh, I'm used to getting sick, so I'm fine"

"What!?

If I hadn't looked at Tact's face, I would have gotten back to him as if he'd read his mind. But isn't there anyone who can get used to getting seriously ill?... I'm sure you're saying it to reassure me. Isn't it too kind to say that it was in my eyes because of me!

You better accuse me of being bad... no, let's not think about this right now. I'm too anxious to be ahead of you if you get negative under this situation. If you don't think positively about everything, it's something that doesn't work.

"……… here, inside the temple, I wonder"

"Sounds like it."

I manage to wipe my tears and snot, stand beside the tact and I look around too.

The construction of a white wall like a temple… it would be the same material as the entrance. However, if you look closely, there are small hole-like gaps by the way. That ranges from something small enough for my fingers to something big enough for my arms to fit in. Of course you can't put your arm in it because you don't know what it is!

"I can't even think of a hole. But I can't... there's only one way to go back."

"Ugh... yeah. Right."

"Fortunately, there's a lamp on the wall, so it's not dark... if you take care and go slow, you'll be fine. Such beautiful floors and walls... there must be no demons."

The tact gently touches the floor, taking a deep breath and looking forward.

The path that seems long continues straight, and from here I can't see what's in the back. I swore I would never touch the wall and started walking behind a slow walking out tact.

◇ ◇ ◇

After a while, the white walls turned pale pink along the way. I don't know, I'm thrilled that even the boss is finally coming... but it's turning into more and more fancy interiors.

"Tough temple... but what is this building?"

"Pretty girl lives there. That's right."

The alarm fades gradually, and the speed of walking increases. And a cute built interior as if proportional to it. No one will think this is a temple anymore.

Or what really is this place? If this is the game, I'm sure it's a dungeon... ugh, it's a mystery.

"It's starting to look kind of homey..."

"Sure. But I also want to build a house in the woods and live there. He's not in there."

"Right…"

My house was built in the woods. I totally forgot because I often go to the city now! No, I remember it right!? I don't think there was much going on out of the woods.

For now, somewhere like this fancy house... though. From the drop point, I think I've been walking for about half an hour now, but it stays on the straight main road… and there's no bend. When it comes to it, if you do poorly, you're going through the woods and even into the basement of different places.

Oh, shit, I'm getting kind of anxious.

"Hinami, that"

"Huh...? Ah, the door!

If I walked thinking about it as a monkey, Tact found the door. but it wasn't in the front, it was in the right hand wall. The main road continues straight ahead. Structurally speaking, there might be some room positioning...?

Should I open it, or should I keep going straight? I am also not sure if there has been any progress in moving forward. Rather, if we open this place, there could be a chest...!? and try to remember the game the flowers were playing. Well, reality can't be that good, can it?

I threw my gaze at the tact to figure out what to do, and I almost opened it with my hand on the door already.

"Hey! What if it's a trap, Tact...!

"Ya, it's a homelike build... and there probably shouldn't be a problem"

He rushes to a still voice, but apparently he has already concluded that there is no problem in the tact. Actually, if you've decided that Tact, the brainchild, isn't a problem, then I really feel fine… but I don't know what's going to happen here. 'Cause there's a pit trap at the entrance. Yeah, I don't think that's a trap to make at the entrance.

It didn't seem to be locked, and the door opened with a small noise of chatter. Without opening everything, open a gap that just glances softly and the tact carefully excludes the inside. I'll take a quick peek from behind, too.

but this is... somehow, yeah.

"" It's a chest...!!

Me and Tact's voices overlapped beautifully and I was relieved to see that the luckiest prediction had come.

Or you can't just take it back because it's a chest... right? 'Cause this place is built like a house for people. If it is a place like a dungeon or a ruin, I will take it with me.

In the room, there is a chest in the center. I didn't put anything else... but the room was planted with flowers on one side like a flower garden.

"So the maiden tick aisle room has a flower garden and a crate? Really, what is it?"

"But it's a pretty flower. Soothe a little ~"

Tact grabs the flowers at his feet unconstructively, crushing them seriously. "That's a flower I've never seen..." he continues, asking me with a gaze. The flower was something I had never seen before, so I tell her that I don't know how to shake my neck softly.

White, pink, and flowers made of water-colored petals with gemstones in the center of the flowers. It is shiny and very beautiful, but I can't really feel the vegetation because of it.

Maybe it will be a medicinal ingredient, so I pick a few bottles and put them in a bag.

"Hmm..."

He crouched in front of the chest and the tact raised his voice. If you look at what's going on, it looks like the chest won't open. I wondered if it was locked, but I didn't see a place where I could plug it in.

Will that simply make the crate lid stiff… or is it also a magical spell?

"I'll help you, too."

"Oh, Thankyou."

In the meantime, two more than one! That's why I also have the Lets Crate Challenge.

"Fluffy...!

"Ugh!

No! What is this crate...! Not at all. The chest on my knee sits on the spot with dignity, without being slight.

I knew it was something else, so don't steal it! Does that mean? Ugh, that's what I'm feeling...?

"Sounds like you have to untie something to open it."

"In the first place, there's a possibility that someone lives here normally and that person's belongings..."

"Oh, that's not true. Perhaps this is the South Forest Hidden Dungeon.

"……… Huh?

This sounds like a game to me in earnest.

According to Tact's description, it is certain that there are royal fruits in the south forest. But the guild doesn't have that information at all. So, if… there is a “hidden dungeon” almost unknown in the South Forest, where there are royal fruits. Apparently so.

A hidden dungeon is a dungeon that cannot be stepped into unless certain conditions are met. The difference from a normal dungeon is that there are rare materials and strong or unusual demons… Apparently.

Indeed, given that, it is abundantly possible that this is a hidden dungeon in the South Forest. No, Tact affirmed that he would rather be sure.

When I was walking down the main road, I thought I was thinking of something with a very serious face… I'm sure I was thinking about this place with a full brain rotation of tact.

Hmm? That means is the key point to entering a hidden dungeon possible mushrooms? If so, I do find it a hard dungeon to find inside. Because there's no one inside to take mushrooms.

"A flower on one side, a treasure chest on it…? I'm sure there's a trick to open a crate in this flower. Hinami, I don't care if you have any skills, but don't you use them for flowers?

"Skills to use for flowers? Um, there's something about being pro-growth for once, but what do you think?

He circled around the crate and apparently concluded that there was no setup for the crate situation.

Then the flowers blooming on one side are indeed suspicious. If Tact has any skills, he will use them… but it is unclear whether the Angel Singing (Sanctuary), which only allows him to grow, will help.

"Do you have such skills? Hmm... in the meantime, can you give it a try? If nothing happens, you just have to think about it."

"Mm-hmm. If that's what you mean, fine!

For now, everything seems to go in the direction of a challenge.

I breathe in the air heavily and stare at the flowers blooming on one side. For the first time, I felt that the three lovely colors of flowers were like saying 'thank you for finding them'. I'm sure it's because the gemstone in the center of the flower shines brightly and blindly.

"I don't even know the name, little flowers... show me how it's grown?" Angel Singing "!
