After crusades were added to my daily work, my relaxed life changed into a rush.
I have a lot to do for the time I can spend.
Still think it's better than when I was in Japan, does that mean the original workplace was pretty black?
I don't think I'm addicted to work (workaholic).
I go out in the morning to crusade, so I'm going to the castle after dinner to prepare the potion to be used in the Knights.
When the sun goes down and you're in a dark room, relying on the candlelight to stir a pot of potion, you're totally in the witch's mood.
For once, Mr. Corinna was very surprised to see how he was doing and wondered if he was working to this hour.
After I make the potion, I just take a bath and go to bed.
And when I get up early in the morning and get ready to go on a crusade, I head to the herb field before I leave.
Yes, [Virgin] 's surgery, to see how that plant pot looks.
"Ah!"
The plant pot I saw that day looked different than usual.
The flat topsoil was only slightly buoyant.
"How's it going?
"Look! Looks like it's sprouting!
"What!
Looking back at the voice he hung up, there was Mr. Corinna.
Mr. Corinna is also concerned about the state of the planting pot, and coming here is routine.
I was happy that the sprouts appeared, and if I told her not to look back, Mr. Corinna peered into the plant pot in an excited way, too.
"You're out..."
"I'm out!
When I put it in my mouth to confirm it with my face against each other, I laughed at the same time even though I didn't show it to each other.
After that, the two of us cheered so that we couldn't contain the emotions that exploded.
I wanted to keep looking at the medicinal herbs, but unfortunately the time has come to go on a crusade.
Though the buds have appeared, I don't know if they will grow well after this.
Until I grew up properly, I saw how things were going again, and then the thing after that was to come back from the crusade and talk to you, and I broke up with Mr. Corinna.
It's probably not my fault that Mr. Corinna's hindsight back in the distillery was such an atmosphere even if skipping.
"You look in a good mood. Did something good happen to you?
During the lunch break, the captain said so.
He can't say anything about people (Mr. Corinna).
I also seemed to create an atmosphere where I could sing in my nose.
"The seeded herb sprouted during this time."
"Herbs?"
"Yes, it was a difficult kind of thing to grow, so I'm glad you sprouted it safely"
"I see."
If you give me a reason, the captain laughs as he is convinced.
Maybe we should talk about it in detail, but it only conveyed unusual content on this occasion, as it would also contain information that only the lord and Mr. Corinna knew.
"Were those herbs even grown in the lab?
"Er, I don't think I probably grew it"
"So there will be more new herbs in the lab"
The lab grows a variety of herbs, but I haven't grown any that sprouted this time.
Anyway, we need blessings to cultivate.
Nevertheless, to answer vaguely because there is no reason to explain the conditions of cultivation, the head of the delegation told me something I never thought possible.
Grow it in the lab......
Indeed, if we celebrate the fields of the laboratory, the conditions for cultivation may be met.
I'm still in the middle of an experiment, but if I grow up well, I'll see if I can grow it in the lab, too, let's check with Mr. Corinna.
"Right. I still don't know if I'll grow up properly..."
"You should ask Johann to help you, too."
"To the Director, is it?
"He's good at growing plants."
"Ah."
I was told and remembered that the director can use earthly attribute magic.
The earthly attribute magic had some magic that was convenient for growing medicinal herbs, and the director was using that magic to grow medicinal herbs in the laboratory that were said to be difficult to cultivate.
Even if the sprouted herbs didn't grow well this morning, if the director could help us, we might be able to grow them.
Whatever the results, let's talk to Mr. Corinna so that the experiment can continue in the lab.
The end of the break came when I was deciding my future policy in my mind.
Is that it already? I think so, but I have no choice.
The crusade began near the territorial capital and gradually began to go far.
The demons that leave the capital are getting stronger and stronger, making it harder to take breaks with them.
Because of this, I am forced to take a short break.
I can still prepare lunch locally now, but it could get harder one of these days.
If I can't prepare it locally, will I be bringing lunch?
Thinking blurry, I cleaned up after him and headed for the afternoon crusade.
"You're out."
Herbal sprouts, not.
It's the demon that came out.
When I saw the signal of the knight who was walking in the lead, the captain next door whispered.
The knights who were walking around on guard, but the air wrapped around them as soon as they encountered the demon turns into something even more tense.
I watched the demons so I could help instantly, too.
What came out was a plant demon, very similar to Uzbokazura.
He seemed like a demon, had tentacles that were not in the real Uzbokazura, and was moving with Uneune.
It may be tough if you get caught by the tentacles, but the knights squirm and attack.
And he knocked it down lightly with skillful linkage play.
I stroke my chest down that nobody was hurt this time.
The results of daily training seem to be unfortunately being demonstrated.
"Good luck. You can afford it."
"Not yet. But you can't be alarmed because of the gradual increase in the strength of the demons"
I nod back to the captain who speaks with a serious look.
So far, the knights have their share, but I don't know when the scales will tilt towards the demons.
I would also call it a cautionary foe, and it would be better not to get distracted.
It's actually taking a little longer to fight.
"I also feel like demons are coming out more often"
"Right. Maybe it's behind this."
I nod back to the words of the captain, who looks in the direction of progress.
The captain didn't clearly say "what is", but what he expects will be the same.
What I'm experiencing once in the West Forest is that demons become stronger as I go in the back and more often I encounter them.
It seems possible, doesn't it, Black Swamp?
I'm not as nervous as I was in the West Forest because I have predictions or because I know how to deal with them, even if they were.
Around.
Since there will be so many demons, I will tighten my mind to avoid injury, but I am not feeling anxious.
There would have been a swamp. So I guess I just need to activate the [Virgin] technique.
The idea of what to do if it fails is too chilling, but that got into the back of my chest.
If there was another problem, it would be demons around the black swamp.
When demons boil from the swamp, the number of demons around is expected to be very high.
That was also the case in the West Forest.
I guess that density is comparable to a room with a lot of demons in a dungeon, the so-called Monster House.
It's in the woods, so it may be better than Monster House, a closed space, but it's very dangerous to deal with dense demons.
Even the battle-crazy division chief had a hard time dealing with the next demon to strike.
In his case, the failure to use the great magic that would affect him extensively because it was in the woods may have been one of the reasons he was struggling.
At that time, he said, "Ah, too! I want to burn it all first!" or something I feel like I heard you say that kind of stupidity.
It was only shortly after this that we could see that things were going worse than we had imagined.
