Spirit Growers Travel Around the World - Get Rare Materials and Spirits Grow Rapidly!? ~
(13) First battle, after
On the way back to Philomena's home, Sigel had his first experience of defeating demons.
One day you're bound to need it, so Philomena has given you a spare weapon, saying you should do it now.
The first demon Sigel defeated was a ravioli about eighty centimetres long called Big Rabbit.
Sigel honestly received the weapon, thinking back to a human being who had never had a weapon or a decent one, even though he suddenly wondered if it was too hard, but not the kind of world he could complain about.
At first I couldn't help shaking my weapon properly, but I was able to get the hang of it over and over again.
The other guy was desperate to come, so Siegel took shape as he repeated his trial and error with the thought that he wouldn't do something about it.
Perhaps Filomena interprets it favorably, knowing it and daring to suddenly let her fight the demons.
Because once I defeated the Big Rabbit, they told me that all I had to do was follow without doing anything.
The Siegel idea was largely true.
In this world, when you first relate to demons, there are two patterns.
One is that a child born in a noble or merchant's house is attached a solid master to learn some skill before crusading.
The other is a pattern that is suddenly thrown into practice without learning anything about moulding.
Naturally, the latter will be done by those born in houses where there is no money to pay the master.
Incidentally, Filomena, a native of an orphanage in a small rural village, was the latter pattern.
At the time, there was nothing superior about a fine sword, and he knocked it down while wielding the sword that generations of graduates had left behind.
Because of that past experience, Philomena dared to let Siegel do the same.
As far as Sigel is concerned, Philomena believes it turned out exactly as it was intended.
Sigel has always had a somewhat contemplative look while heading home, but Philomena also knows that it was because she killed the creature with her own hands for the first time.
Filomena was taking Sigel to the house, without daring to say anything, paying enough attention that it was the time she needed, because those grittos would become important later.
Sigel, we're here.
To that voice of Philomena, Sigel looked around with a hazy look.
"What!? Is that it already?... Oh, really."
When Sigel said so, finally realizing that he had a house in his sight, Philomena, who had already removed her helmet, came to see it with a serious face.
"So, have you come to a conclusion?
"... um, what do you think? Do you feel like you're out, or not out? At least I knew it was absolutely necessary to fulfill my hope of embarking on a journey."
When Sigel answered that, Filomena snorted with a grin.
"Right. If that's the first time you've figured it out, isn't it superior?
"Really?
"Yes."
At least, Philomena thought in her heart that it was better than when she was, and it walked out toward the house without saying it to her mouth.
And Sigel, who watched it, was also to follow him into the house.

While Philomena was dressed regularly, Sigel changed her mind that she could only ever be bothered, and her mood changed to confirm "The Spirit's Inn".
Between morning and now, I didn't think there would be much change, especially since I didn't do anything unusual, but I thought I could just look at the cherry blossoms growing in the boxyard.
By the way, while in town, the two spirits of the escort were kept well hidden.
Philomena advised me that if I knew I had a spirit, I wouldn't know what I was going to do.
The spirits never showed themselves, either, knowing that or simply following Siegel's instructions.
"Is that it? The rank of the Spirit is rising again"
Sigel, who was confirming "The Spirit Inn," noticed that the Spirit was ranked A from the B rank.
The condition of this ranking increase was that we were doing some work for eight hours in total.
While I was in town, I had already met that condition, so it seemed to rank up automatically.
I went up to A-rank without ascertaining the effects that went up to B-rank, but I gave up on validation because it's not a bad thing that the Spirit's range of action extends.
Instead, I came back to the house, so I sent Shilo out to explore.
This time it will be a three-hour exploration.
Most likely, he'll come back full of them along the way, like he did last time, but that's fine.
It is only necessary to reissue the instructions.
Sigel, who finished giving instructions to Shiro, was checking the boxyard.
Now there's a bottle of cherry blossom standing in the center of the mountain, and all you have to do is grow grass, but of course I'm not going to let that end.
Sigel was worried about what kind of 'garden' to make while looking at the screen, but realized there was a fuss.
"Oh, can you see where the other spirits are coming"
I had noticed a fluttering little light floating by the cherry blossoms, but it seemed to be the Spirit.
Following the menu, it was found that the number of spirits currently visiting the 'Spirit Inn' could be ascertained properly.
The current number of spirits visiting is tripled by lower spirits.
I don't know if this many spirits come with a single cherry blossom is in good or bad condition.
There's no object to compare, so there's no way to compare it.
Anyway, it was better than zero, so I gave up on my own that I had no choice but to nibble that number even as a Sigel.
But there were those who were surprised and concerned about Sigel like that.
"What are you doing alone?
"Whew!?
If you're snorting in the living room, not in your own room, you deserve to be told that.
Sigel answered Philomena, who sees herself with a strange face, in a tone of excuse somewhat.
"Oh, no. I had a good thing going on in" The Spirit Inn, "so I followed."
To that excuse for Sigel, Philomena leaned her neck small while she said, "Hum?" I only gave it back.
There are other things that are more important to Filomena today than that.
"That's fine, but it's time to start preparing dinner?
"Uh, yeah."
Electricity (or similar magic props) is not such a convenient thing. In this world, it is better to prepare meals while the sun is up.
Sigel, who had already been decided by the caterer, rushed to the kitchen.

For dinner this day, rice obtained in town was introduced.
For the first time, I don't even know if I can eat properly for not trying to cook in the way I know.
Of course, I don't think there's anything more you can't eat than what's normally available in the store, but I don't know if Sigel can cook well without trying.
For once, I had asked the clerk how to cook, but it made little difference.
All we have to do is put it into practice.
The result of trying to cook the rice I got was:
"Yeah. Enough, enough"
Like modern Japan on boulders, it was not plump, but it was finished to a sufficiently acceptable extent.
I admire you for burning a little bit, not gas, but for not adjusting the fires well on direct fire.
All this has to do is do the numbers and get used to it.
If you prepare about three other dishes besides rice, and then reheat the soup you made in the morning, you will be finished preparing dinner.
Sigel, prepared so far, noticed once again.
Chopsticks are not in this house, at least.
Sigel panicked, rushing out, picking up twigs and making his own chopsticks - trying to get stopped by Philomena.
He was so dangerous to see, he couldn't watch.
Eventually, the chopsticks made by Filomena shredded as instructed by Sigel were well served for two meals.
That was the dinner that started, but Philomena has said as she frowned.
"- Hmm. How can I be able to use it for such cleverness?
"Hahaha, I just have to get used to all this. If you keep using it without giving up, you'll soon get used to it, right?
I've already taught you how to use chopsticks, so I can't give you any more advice as a Sigel.
"More than that, how about rice?
"Rice? Whatever you say, it doesn't have a clear flavour. I just think it's something like this...?
Hearing what that Philomena thought, Sigel laughed when she said it was something like that.
In fact, rice itself doesn't have a special flavor, so I can't help but have that feeling.
What delights me when I say there is sweetness in rice is the emotion that doesn't come out unless I keep eating rice and see the difference.
