"Dad, this is medicine!

Blue fruit I found exploring the surrounding forest after a break.

It is different from the medicine I took before, but I have seen it in a book.

"Really. You found something unusual."

"Yakumi?

Oneechan doesn't seem to know, but she takes the blue fruit and leans her neck.

It's the truth that it's medicine.

Your father's explanation remains the same, but there is no other explanation.

Oneechan nodded several times as if she understood.

Let's harvest and go. It'll be money. "

Yeah, help oneechan too.

"Of course, I'll take care of it."

I'm sure this is actually useless as a medicine if it's not ripe.

The three of them harvest the ripe fruit while looking for it.

Explore the signs on a slightly wider scale because of the underground caves.

I can see that the monster is a little far away and watching us.

Be a little more vigilant as they may approach.

You got it.

A total of 46 for 3 people.

In fact, it was full, but there were few ripe fruits.

"I think there's still a lot of them."

"Really?

"Ah, because the medicine doesn't get much in one place."

Is that right?

I recall the condition of the medicine I harvested before.

It must have been harvested from two trees.

I think it was from a tree before that.

"Sure, it's unusual for a tree of medicinal fruit to gather so much."

"That's right. Maybe the soil fits this tree. Actually, can you ask these ginals to sell it?"

I don't think I should go into the village, so I can't help it, but I've been asking the ginals a lot.

Next time, let's eat something delicious.

Ah, the monster who was watching us seems to be moving away.

I'm glad you didn't come here.

"Well, why don't we go a little deeper? Are they all right?

"Oh, Toron's in."

Toron also said he had walked, but because he had assimilated too much around, he would lose sight of it, so I asked him to put it on Siel's head.

At first, I felt a little uncomfortable, but I fell asleep because I felt comfortable.

"Siel, is everything okay on your head?

Looks like Tron's roots are entangled in the hair of his feet.

Doesn't it hurt?

Nyahn

It doesn't seem to hurt because of the way Siel answers normally.

"What? This hole..."

Dad finds a hole under the root of the tree and peeks.

Did you find something?

"What's wrong?

Oneechan looks at the hole worried.

"Hi, it looks like it's connected to an underground cave. I feel a unique magic in the wind from the hole."

Underground caves?

I found it, it's a long way from the hole in the underground cave.

And what is the unique magic?

Are you talking about the wet magic you just felt from the hole?

"Wet magic?

My father shook his head to my side.

"Wet magic is one of the characteristics of underground caves. Apart from that, I'm sure you'll feel a little strange magic. I forgot to explain earlier, sorry."

Close to the hole and feel the wind coming from inside the hole.

I wonder if it's really small.

Close your eyes and concentrate on magic.

Hmm?

I think I can grab something...

"Ha, I don't think so. I thought I felt something."

If you try to grab it, it's gone.

"It may be difficult because it's a little magic."

"The same magic you just found in the underground cave is connected, right?

"Oh, that's for sure."

I remember the map.

I don't know the exact distance, but it's a pretty big underground cave.

"This could be a full-scale investigation team."

Nod to your father's words.

Ginals, are you all right?

…………

When I went to the dump, the ginals were already waiting.

"Good morning, it's a little hot."

Summer is coming up.

It's time for the heat to increase.

Walking makes you sweaty, so it's tough.

"Good morning. How was it?

Gallito shows you one magic stone to answer your father's question.

There are three bright red lines in the clear magic stone on Gallit's hand.

It's a magic stone I've never seen before.

It's a rare magic stone. What can you do?

"I have no idea. I had it checked out, but it was also a hyumankopi."

... a human copy?

A human copy?

... uh, what did I know before?

Still a human copy?

"What is that?"

Dinals shook their heads to the side to answer your father's question.

"Can that underground cave take magic stones? Isn't that a magic item?

Speaking of which, you said you could get rare magic items in the underground cave, Magic Stone?

"No, there are a lot of magic items. There are three Magic Stones, including what I have."

"And then I realized it was huge."

Father nodded mysteriously at Mr. Ginal's words.

Dinal leans his neck against the reaction.

"Did you know?

"Yesterday I found a hole in the woods under the trees. I felt the same magic in the wind that was blowing from the hole as in the underground cave where the digals were."

My sister and I nod at your father's words.

"Behind the woods? Do you know the general location on the map?

Garritt spreads the map and asks his father where it is.

I checked the general location yesterday, so my father explains while looking at the map.

The ginals are watching it.

"It's pretty big. Maybe the biggest underground cave?

Garito sighs when Fischer says happy.

"If we had a big investigation team, we'd be in trouble."

Fischer shows Garito his shoulders.

I wonder what the trouble is.

I wonder if they're going to incorporate Dinals into the investigation team?

That could be a hassle.

"Even if the investigation team is formed, it won't get in our way because it will take time. Also, if you find out that an investigation team will be formed, many adventurers will move to get magic items before the investigation begins. And if it's huge, there's plenty of places to hide. I've eaten it like it's good for bait, so I'm sure it'll work from around today. We start today, too."

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Can I ask you this or should I ignore it...?

However, I understand that you are not worried about being integrated into the investigation team.

"Ivy, do you know what that magic stone is?

My father comes next door and asks in a whisper.

"It's a human copy."

Can you say you understand this?

Duplicate a human... is it okay to duplicate the same thing?

"A human copy?

Did you hear what I said? Mr. Ginal leans his neck.

It might make sense to involve Dinals as well.

It's about the Magic Stone.

Dinals who were surprised at my words.

Gallit hurriedly pulls the Magic Stone out of the bag.

"Do you have any idea what this power is?

Shake his head against Mr Gallit's words.

Like you understand, like you don't understand.

"It seems that human beings are human beings, and copying means copying."

It was converted in my head, but it wasn't different for a while.

... it's okay.

"Er... If that's what Ivy says, I'm sure it is."

Ah, I'm not pursuing it.

Why would you do that?

Ginal smiles when she sees my expression.

"If you ask me more, I'll regret it."

Your father laughs at Mr. Ginal's words.

You're going to regret it...

"More human than that? Do you copy people?

Deep wrinkles are engraved between the ginals' eyebrows.

Do you have any more questions?

Copy, copy...

Nh, one glass?

... two glasses of the same... What is this?
