Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

Section XII Stage

Carol's palm touches holy water filled with silver cups. A number of ripples were created on the water, which was quiet, hitting the edges, bouncing back.

"Nothing's going to happen."

"From now on. Don't interrupt me, okay? Look quietly."

Stand up and pull Saluena's sleeve trying to peek into the cup. Isn't that what you said earlier, Mother, to tell the kids? I got an indescribable look at Saluena for thinking so too.

The color of the water is starting to change.

"Yeah. Like I said, that holy water reacts to the life force of a man with his hands crossed. And the bigger it is, the darker it turns."

A few years ago, when I first received the ritual, the explanation was that the colors of the water would change in order of white, green, yellow, orange, red, blue, and purple. Auschnell's current king, Master Oliva, said he was a blue ranked adventurer before he took office. His son...... No, his daughter, Master Ayshel, is also brave enough to say that he is 17 years old and already has a red rank?

As you can see thus, instead of Auschnell, more adventurers than blue are only enough to even count on this Fandelusian continent. If purple is considered the top floor, it is no longer a living legend. At least I don't know anyone who is currently a surviving adventurer and has been awarded that rank.

"Hmm, the color of a burning sunset. Beautiful."

"Huh?"

That's what Saluena said as she looked at the water in the cup with her sleeve gripped by me. I looked up to explain, and as soon as I heard it, I followed Saluena's gaze.

"Hey, hey... Carol. Is your water red?"

"... that's an odd encounter. That's what you look like."

The holy water had undoubtedly changed to orange, not by mistake of sight or anything else. Toslin, Mr. Rose and Mr. Alonda all look equally surprised. Of course I do, and Carol of the day is passing by surprises and laughing bitterly.

"Well, isn't this a ritual failure or something?"

This would otherwise be an extremely disrespectful statement. Because this is one of the miracles the goddess performs, and doubting it means doubting the existence of the goddess. But there's nothing to blame for that on this occasion right now. Because what's happening right now in front of me was so hard to believe that everyone would think so.

"Yes, no... that shouldn't be... We knew you were here, so we've been polishing silver cups for a few days now and pouring you some specially cleaned water this morning."

In a silver cup that shines like a sunset. Eventually, however, he begins to react the opposite of when he drips paint over the water. The orange light converges on the surface of the hand that is touching the water, and… extends upward (...) by (...) and goes (...).

The stretched red stretches the leaves further up. Spread the leaves when stretched, spreading the leaves when stretched, and eventually spreading the buds.

"It's like a flower..."

"Ugh, no, Saluena. Looks like it. This is a flower."

The buds open slowly and blossom. Its flowers, with orange petals, are also symbols of the church, Tikkalodecka. Its beautiful colored flowers are analogous to gems and are called: Ticcarodecca Topaz and.

That's one, two, 16 rounds altogether. Exactly blooming.

"… level, 16…"

Levels are determined by the number of flowers flowered. One for level 1 and five for 5.

"Adventurer, Caroteil. The Illusionist cleric, Alonda Lisea, admits you to the 16th floor of the Orange, where Zhu Yellow Jade resides."

"Wow, I don't believe it. Atashi, I was 5 before this..."

Even with my hands away from the silver cup, 16 flowers continue to bloom. Carol pulled it out of the holy water as she eagled it.

"Hey...... Carol too cluttered!!"

Where did the emotion for the mystery I had witnessed also go, and I was too glanced at. Surprised I accidentally turned up my voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I've got the rest, so I thought I'd better get it over with."

And I sigh, asking you to treat me a little more politely.

"Iris, are you there?"

Carol offers me a beautiful bouquet of Ticcarodecca in orange.

"Yes, no, I..."

"Get it. Get it. I rarely get a bouquet of Ticcarodecca."

Similar to a lily, it's only a flower of a fantastic species that doesn't exist in nature, but it's hard to see when it's a bouquet of flowers. Moreover, when it comes to orange…, few people have that much power, so the chances of seeing it are even less.

"Oh, thanks......"

Toslin tells me, and I take it while I do. But is it really okay if I take it? But if Toslin says so, it doesn't matter, does it?

"Smells good. Thank you so much, Carol."

Ticcarodecca flowers emit a bright and clear scent. When I sniffed it closer to my nose, my chest filled with refreshing air.

"You know what? They can eat those flowers."

"Because I wouldn't eat it even if I could. Because I'll decorate it properly."

"Right. When I heard that from Toslin, I wondered if it was a boulder."

"Shut up. I was hungry because I didn't have any money."

That's why I can't believe I eat flowers... Oh, no... it's an elf to live with nature, and it doesn't seem strange to think so? It's a casual image, but I often drink flower nectar and so on.

"Then I'll be next. Thank you, Alonda."

Toslin bowed and stood in front of the silver cup. Hands over, the holy water, which was back in white, changed color after a while......

As a result, I received 51 Ticcarodecca Topaz conveniently in my hand.

"Sa, on the boulder... it's too heavy..."

"Let me have it"

Even if Saluena had half of it, it would still be a calculation about 25 bottles in this hand.

"Shh, that's amazing... Is this because you defeated the dragon?"

As a result of the ritual that followed, Toslin was leveled to 17 and Rosé to 18. We're all going to have more than 10 each, so maybe we do. Awesome, dragon effect. Oh, and you knocked down the golem, too.

"I have been a priest for a long time, but this is the first time I have been awarded an orange rank..."

As many as three Zhu Yellow Ball adventurers are born at a time, and Alonda blinks her eyes. The Sisters, who help with the ritual, see the Toslins with the same eyes. And the gaze especially directed at Mr. Rosé is somehow hot.

He traveled the world outside, where he could exercise the divine miracle of a priest, fighting dragons to save people, winning, and making the goddess glorious. You can't possibly not admire what I told you while watching Mr. Rosé's ritual.

Incidentally, the portrayal at that time, which spanned Goltmund in a red-hot and burning village and headed single-handedly for the dragon, was kept in particularly dark eyes. 'Cause Mr. Rose's back at that time was really cool.

"What surprises you like that? Though it was a lower species, it cut into dragons and survived. This is not what it is. I don't think there's anything strange about polishing and shining your soul after that experience."

That's what Saluena said in a good mood, enjoying the scent of Ticcarodecca. Even in the same act, I don't know what my elegance is like with that.

"Mmm, don't make Rosa smell stronger."

"Sa, Sister Sally!? I don't want you to talk about that, and, uh... that's about it..."

Rosé is adorable with her face red and awake. It dusts when I watch it. By the way, when I told the Sisters about Mr. Rosé's martial arts, Mr. Rosé was blushing more than he is now.

I guess I couldn't wait to embarrass myself because I'm Rosé, who doesn't usually have a weak claim or boast of himself at all. But I'm glad you're interested in Mr. Rosé. I just let you sell in here.

I only had a little resentment for Mr. Rose when he stuck out a bouquet of flowers to me at the end of the ritual. I think I'll probably never forget that face.

"So can you hire us?"

That's what Toslin looks like to Alonda, who hasn't lost her surprise yet.

"Oh, yeah, of course it is. If you can leave it to the adventurers of the orange ranks, it is something you have neither done nor wished for. If you can accept it, we will certainly guarantee you a reward commensurate with your rank"

"Then it's settled...... so it was Rosé who shook the job this time. It feels like I've already made up my mind, okay?"

"Yes, of course. Thank you again."

"Regards. Hey, the ranks are up, you can get work from the church, and don't do anything good these days."

"I've probably been dying many times."

The Toslins are given a certificate of rank by the Sisters. By showing it to the Alliance people who each belong to, they can renew the Adventurer's license. Mr. Rose is not technically an adventurer, so he doesn't have a license renewal or anything, but he was given a new Holy Mark. Maybe that's a substitute for a license to show strength.

"Excuse me, this is... thoughtful, so can I keep it up?"

?

At that time, Mr. Rosé had the old Holy Mark in his hand and said so to Sister.

"Thank you"

He was given safe permission, and Mr. Rosé put two holy marks on his neck, old and new.

"Then Priestess Alonda. We have to stop by the blacksmith and warrior guild after this, so please excuse us around here. I'll come back tomorrow to find out more about the investigation."

The report is over, the next instructions are given, and it looks like Rosé and the others are all set. I just came here to say hello, too, so I bowed after Mr. Rosé and the others.

"Bye, Mr. Alonda. Thank you for staying with us for so long. Sorry to bother you."

It's cozy and I'm going to sit around forgetting the time, but I can't stay here forever. Mr. Rosé also said that we have a lot to do today.

"Yes, you're already going. But it's been a long time since I've seen you, and it's been a real pleasure. Please come back."

"Yes, of course it is. Let's go, Saluena."

I nodded loudly and then pulled Saluena's sleeve staring at Mr. Rosé.

"Ah."

Saluena, walking out, seemed kind of happy. Did something good happen to Saluena?

I thought so for a little while, but I wasn't sure.
