Miniature Garden Chemister

7. Operation Level Up - 2

Perspective: Ikr

Shh!

The sound of a stick that cuts the wind wide melts into the deep darkness, knocking down the oak. If you wave the stick as you rotate it further, there will be a tingle of flame and the two remaining oaks will be stopped.

The flames in the darkness were beautiful, illuminating the dark, sunken forest.

"Phew..."

Take one deep breath and look slowly forward. I knocked down all the oaks I had seven, but I still have one high oak in the back. It hits the top species of oak and has some intelligence in handling weapons. Nevertheless, to the extent that they substitute for orcs and make decisions to escape if they are stronger than themselves.

Grasp the stick all the way back and turn your gaze toward the high oak.

"It's not fair to use too much flame, and I'll let you take it down normally."

"Gugaga"

Gently wrap the wind magic around your feet and lighten your body.

Skills and magic are basically listed in the status, but not to the extent of these simple uses. For that reason, many people do not know that they can use these kinds of methods.

I thought you were an idiot for not knowing about adventurers. My master says it's because I'm "lacking imagination" but... it's not what I found out.

"Master, huh? You don't like it..."

Well, I couldn't help but think about it by accident. Now you'd better switch and focus on defeating the forward high oak. It is stronger than an oak and cannot be defeated by about 1-2 shots.

But if you try it on me, you're not a strong enemy. I just can't kill you instantly, so, well, no problem. Combat style focuses on speed. Therefore, the offense is not that high.

There are times when I wish I could be stronger, although I have no choice but to do all this because it is my style.

Kick up a ton and the ground, pack the distance from the high oak and put in a blow with a stick as you go. If you aim for your neck, even a light attack on me can be a force there.

Keep your body in the sky with a recoil that punches in the stick, adding more pursuit with the stick from overhead.

It is a less used weapon, but if it can be used, the range of combat will be considerably wider. I can't cut it because I don't have a blade, but because it's a stick, I can control the movement of my body quite freely. You can also throw your own body with recoil if you force it, treasure it.

"Well, it's a todome."

"Gugaaaaaaaa!!

When the time comes, about 3 minutes. Well, I thought it was like this, stretching my body. The customer thinks that she is a little tired of having a defect from her mouth.

This is a further hour's walk from the lost forest where Hinami-sama's house is located. Perhaps the city's guild hasn't grabbed the information either, but I'm not affiliated with the guild and it's cumbersome, so I'm not planning on making a report.

Hinami-sama's house is a lost forest. And walked an hour further from there, this is a deep lost forest.

The Lost Forest has three stages.

Lost forest in the early stages.

The second level of deep lost forest.

A forest of far-reaching strays in the final stages.

Hinami-sama's house is home to a lost forest in the early stages. And deep lost woods, including here, are often visited by adventurers for hunting. Although, I wouldn't come to the deep lost forest unless I was an adventurer with experience there.

And a deep lost forest, basically nobody tries to get in. I've heard of several adventurers coming in to give it a try, but I've never heard of them coming back.

I can't predict how much power I'll be able to get in, but I think it might be possible to stay alive if it's a brave man's... party. Well, there's no basis for anything.

So basically the guild has all the lost forest information. But the lost forest suddenly appears and disappears, so there is a leak. Especially if it's a place where not many people go.

"It's a coincidence that I found this place in the first place..."

As I walked through the lost forest looking for Kukri trees for Master Hinami, I stumbled upon the fact that... the back of the forest is this deeply lost forest. Then I snuck up in the middle of the night to raise my level.

Nevertheless, the journey time alone is two hours round trip. I also need some sleep, so I have decided that the hunting time should be about 30 minutes to an hour. It's not every day, so it's not that much higher.

I just look around and wish I had some unusual plants. Since Hinami-sama is a pharmacist, she will not have any trouble with herbal products. Well, although I have the unlikely skill to increase it infinitely in a little bit.

"Hey, next up is Red Wolf... 10? A little much, but, well, I guess it's okay."

The wind tells us the signs of the demon. Exploration skills really go well with me. It doesn't matter if you think everything is in your territory.

Well, not if there's an overwhelming difference in strength.

As I went to (Agdis) with Master Hinami, I thought I should set my level to at least about 25. There are more demons and types because of nature than on this continent. We need to be strong so that we can protect Hinami.

I did a curse slavery contract as an escort, but I can't protect one little master. We won't talk about it.

Though I really thought I should stay cursed and relax. Well, I was going to un-curse myself, so I just have to work on it during the contract.

"Well. At a distance...... what is 70 meters? I don't even have to slap him with a stick."

If you shake the stick up loud that you had in your right hand, the flames will dance in the sky. It became a dragon, and it jumped straight from the front to Red Uhuru and ate it.

I somehow didn't like to use the flame, but I decided to use it because it was also a hassle not to use it.

Not at all, the performance of the stick is too bad. The stick that Hinami-san bought at the expense of Pong was surprisingly self-inflicted. So much so that I thought it was made for me. No... that's probably not wrong, but the stick I made for me.

Whatever, because the name of the producer of this stick... was the name of the master.

The Stick of Disease

Produced by Hal Suzhana

It can produce flames by swinging quickly.

Ha and sigh, turning the stick around.

Impossible, get acquainted with yourself. The weight, length and thickness of the stick, everything. You get to know yourself in a disgusting way. No, this is no longer beyond disgusting.

If you think about that, something kind of resembles a chill strikes your body. Let's not think about the master. He's too free to know what he's thinking.

I blame myself for remembering this, but this stick feels bad because I have no choice but to treasure it.

"It's time to go home. Is the level... just up, huh?"

Well, if this is the case, I don't have a problem with going to Agdis.

The problem is like Hinami. Though he did say that the level rose to 5 during the day today, the 5 levels in question. I don't have any problems at all if I'm going sightseeing...... the purpose is to find a goddess. I don't think it's too high no matter how high the level.

In the first place, Hinami-san, whom I saw, had a lower status than average. If so, it doesn't seem like the numbers are up that much even when the level is 5. Although I say that the more I have a bad feeling about it, I think it would be good if this were all a matter of concern.

"Speaking of which, the LUK value was only high. The next point should have been MAG......"

Nevertheless.

In the first place, there is no point in Hinami-san having high MAG levels, no offensive skills, no magic. As for LUK, I basically don't know what happens because nobody is expensive.

Well, I don't think it would be better if it were.

I think of Hinami-san, who would be in the world of dreams, but what he is doing is sighing. Can you protect yourself... No, I have to protect you.

Oh, it's kind of depressing.

"Let's go home and take a bath..."

◇ ◇ ◇

The next day, work out your future plans with your head as you organize your warehouse.

There are not many pure humans left by beasts and spirits, even though they have never been to Agdis. Therefore, humans are not very welcome and difficult to get acquainted with.

I'm sure Hinami-san, who is capable of weather, isn't thinking about it, and I felt more tired.

"Icru?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?

Hinami-san came down to the underground warehouse in a light foothold and offered herbal medicine for a princess full of bags. Oh, did you make the potion?

Take it and put it in the warehouse. With my arrival, the cluttered warehouse is clean and tidy. Since it is well decided which recovery medicine (potion) to keep in which position, it will not be less user-friendly.

Or is Hinami-san not good at cleaning up? Nothing. The room isn't dirty, it's rather beautiful. Only the warehouse was cluttered.

Well, maybe I just didn't know what to do because I didn't live like that.

"Thanks, the warehouse is so comfortable thanks to Ickle!

"It's because Hinami-san left it..."

"…… haha"

I laughed and was deceived.

Well, fine. If that's what you think, you can tell Hinami-san, "Oh, he's smiling at me again!," they say. I'm not consciously making an expression, but I can't help it because it's always this look for me.

Unlike me, Hinami-san always smiles. I also feel that my facial muscles seem tired, but smiling is probably one of Hinami-sama's strengths.

But even with that in mind, I recall that anyone but myself was basically smiling. That means I may just not move my facial muscles compared to others, but, well, no.

As we go to Agdis, the store has to think about it. Let Hinami decide on the policy and advise and prepare any necessary arrangements.

Mazuro... probably left a message. Because he cannot be spiritualized outside of Hinami-sama's skills, he becomes a snow rabbit. But doing so is too conspicuous.

There's a risk of getting targeted and involved in trouble at worst...... yeah, let's leave it. Let's do that.

"When you go to Agdis, it's quite a long journey to look for Master Lettysreel, isn't it?

"Right."

"I have something I want! I think it's very helpful."

Unexpectedly Hinami-sama's words. I'm a little surprised that I don't usually say that I want something too much. Well, Mr. Hinami can buy a lot of things right now, and if it's medicinal herbs, I can go pick them up.

I don't think there's any particular problem with that. Well, Hinami-san's really helpful...... can't be trusted.

When asked what he wanted, he proclaimed with a very good smile.

"Even though it's a regular bag, it's a versatile bag that can hold Takusa items and stuff......!!

"Yes, dismissed. I'm going to buy it out tomorrow, so ask for the store number."

"Hey, why -!?

I wondered what you would say with your eyes gleaming.

Speaking of which, I looked closely at the bag when I went shopping... I feel it.

Magic bags (magic backs) are usually out of hand.

This is said to be a magic trick on a regular bag, but the details are unknown. There have been rumors that there are people who can make it, but there will be no such people.

This magic bag (magic back), rarely discovered in a dungeon, is auctioned off at an incredibly high price. Or royalty or nobility buy it directly. Even if I'm wrong, I'm not a substitute for what I'm selling to a bag shop in town.

As Hinami-sama said, the effect can store more than the capacity of the bag. Whether there are limitations or not is unclear because I want to logistics but it is almost impossible.

An adventurer is one of the things everyone admires.

Later, the merchant also said he wanted enough to get his hands on it from his throat, but if it wasn't so successful, it would be too expensive to buy. Of course, even Master Hinami would still not have enough money.

Although Hinami smiles a little as she climbs up the stairs to the living room and persistently asks why. When I said, "It's expensive, it's not very expensive, but I can't buy it," I opened my eyes to surprise.

I don't know how much the hell I was willing to buy, but I made a prediction that the digits would probably be completely different.

Well, we need to make plans to go to Agdis now.
