chapter 83
83 – Planting magical plants (1)
When I was having a hard time in the Republic, I was worried that Balbino might be moving, but fortunately it didn’t.
I went to the back alley to check and it seems that he is still staying at Lauris.
As for Balbino, I decided to prepare by tracking the location periodically, and started researching the mass production of magic potions that I had promised Caitlyn before.
Since the progress has gone to the end, now I really have to take responsibility for the relationship.
If magic potion becomes popular, it will lead to the reinforcement of human power.
Since demons have a lot of magic in the first place, even if the magic potion is leaked to the demon kingdom, there will be no major damage.
“Will you call me Lando for a second?”
“Yes, boy.”
At my command, Louisa slightly lowered her head.
Then she rolled her eyes towards Lena.
… It seemed to signal you to do it.
Lena,
“Ah, yes… !”
I rushed out of the room.
Shortly thereafter, she returned to her room.
However, unlike when her face went out, it must be exceptionally red.
I didn’t even bring lando.
“Ah…. That, Mr. Lando, he’s doing things with his girlfriends right now, biting and sucking….”
“… ….”
Well, it’s not like a man doesn’t know the pleasure of doing dirty things in the morning.
It seemed like Lena entered Lando’s room where the three of them were having fun at the wrong time and faced embarrassing situations.
… I felt sorry for Lena and Lando Harem.
Lena wiggled her fingers, she said quietly.
“I can also get a seed from the boy next year… ?”
Lena’s gaze openly asks her to impregnate her.
It was so upright that it was a bit burdensome….
Moreover, there is fantasy in SM play.
Still, I wanted to give you something.
Anyway, from the son of the Duke of Chablis to the case of the Commander of the Knights William of the Republic, it was a great help.
I put my interests first, so I rolled my head.
“Boss, I would like to give you this.”
Louisa came next to me and whispered as she stuffed something into her pocket.
“In my opinion, Lena is the woman you need. It would be good for the young master to have her properly. Lena herself wants that too.”
… The expression “To treat people like things” Was a bit like that, but I guess it means giving out prizes anyway.
She also seemed to recognize her Lena’s talent.
Looking at the things he bought himself as a prize.
She felt a bit overly condescending, thinking that she was giving away items bought by other women as prizes, but she thought it was okay because Luisa had chosen them.
Until I took it out of her pocket and looked at it….
Seeing the object Lena pulled out of her pocket, her eyes widened and her face dyed even more red.
“Sir, are you giving me that necklace with you…?” ?”
If it was just a normal necklace, I would have given it without hesitation.
It’s because it’s a dog collar….
It was blue, as if Luisa had deliberately matched Lena’s hair color.
If you give a dog collar as a gift to an ordinary woman, it’s sure to be cheap.
But Lena looked at her dog’s collar with her own eyes and smiled.
“Bocchan’s pet maid… !”
While imagining her back and forth with her extraordinary brain.
The moment I thought I couldn’t give it to her because she loved me so much.
Luisa put another item in my pocket.
She also dyed her face red.
Something made her pull out her second item.
… It was also a dog collar.
This time in black.
“I-I want to be the Bocchan’s pet maid… !”
“… ….”
Come to think of it, Luisa also has a little bit of masochism, no, quite a lot.
I wondered if the tastes of the two were more similar than I thought.
“Sit down.”
“Yes… !” “Yes… !”
Luisa and Lena knelt in front of her chair side by side.
I even lifted her head slightly up to make it easier for me to fill.
I heard the blue dog collar first.
Since she was going to give her prize to Lena in the first place, Louisa didn’t seem to have any complaints either.
She said as she stroked Lena’s blue hair.
“You did well this time. I hope you will continue to use that ability by my side in the future.”
She put on her childish expression.
Except for a few things, he was a very pure person.
I want to know how such an innocent person can plan a strategy well, but I also wondered if it was because he was pure.
Even if it’s about the Republic right now, I didn’t hesitate to propose the final method of war, which other people would hesitate at least once, just to save me.
“Yes… ! In the future, I will do my best to make it a hundred years with the young master… !!”
… Does she already consider me her husband?
Well, there’s nothing wrong with me.
She said that such a pretty, innocent, and competent woman would become a concubine.
She put a blue dog collar around her neck herself.
Loosely so as not to feel stuffy.
But Louisa spoke quietly beside her.
“Boss, you’d prefer a tighter grip. Just like planting that it belongs to the young master.”
At Luisa’s words, Lena nodded her head cautiously.
… These two mazos seemed to feel my small consideration as a negative.
Kwak—.
As requested, I put a dog collar tightly around their necks.
“”Yes… ♡””
As expected, the pressure seemed to be on the neck, but rather, they both smiled as if they were enjoying it.
Luisa took something out of her pocket again and gave it to me.
… They were two small padlocks.
It seemed to be used to lock the dog’s collar so that it could not be undone by itself.
Lena said, turning her head towards Luisa.
“Maid, you must have read all the novels I lent you… !”
“Yes, even locking it with a padlock at the end was very romantic. Please recommend other novels.”
“Yes… !!”
These were exclusive maids who circulated nonsense….
Well, this is the extent that I can tolerate, so I locked it on the collars of the two dogs.
I usually have the key to the lock.
Kik-.
I heard the door open.
“Joel-sama—.”
It was Lando.
When he saw Luisa and Lena kneeling down on their knees wearing dog collars, he shut the door again.
“I’m sorry!”
“No, come in….”
It seemed that he was mistaken for playing.
… Although, to be honest, it’s close to play.
I talked with Lando about growing magical plants.
Because he probably knows better than I, who has no connection with farming at all.
I shared my idea of what it would be like to leave only the roots of the magical plant, cut it, and then plant it in the soil.
“I think it would be a good idea to try it in a small pot. What should Noji say unexpectedly, because there are many things to pay attention to.”
“I see.”
I was talking about figuring out the exact cultivation method with pots because it is not known what variables will arise if you just plant them in the ground.
Following his words, I put a pot with the roots of the magic plant in my room.
… I don’t know if it’s because it’s a weed or because all the plants in Are like this, but they all grew in a week.
There is only one way to know that it is a magic super.
Trying to eat it yourself.
I kept Delia by my side in preparation for possible poisoning.
“Hey, Joel. Does Joel have to eat it? ? Just making someone else….”
Delia asked with an anxious look.
It wasn’t that long ago that she was almost poisoned, so she understood.
“Because I value you just as you value me.”
“But….”
“Please. I believe in your skills.”
“If you say that, really… ….”
I cut the full-grown grass planted in the pot and washed it in water once.
Then he immediately put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Did they really grow into magical plants?
“… It’s just weed.”
The experiment failed.
Well, this is something everyone should try.
I tried it, but it didn’t work, so I couldn’t mass-produce it.
Still, I can’t give up here.
I climbed the mountain near the academy with Lando.
A place where you usually dig magic grass.
“Lando, take a good look.”
“Yes!”
In order to get a hint, I eventually needed the help of Lando, who has the [Mana Touch] Skill.
He put his hand on the magic plant and once also put his hand on the soil nearby.
“Oh!”
“Did you find something out?”
“Wait a minute!”
Suddenly, Lando pulled out a shovel and began digging the soil around the magic cho.
As if I were digging up a swallow, I didn’t touch the magic plant itself as much as possible.
I also helped with the shoveling.
Fortunately, it was late spring, so the ground was soft.
As we dug together, the roots of the magical plants were all visible.
He placed his hand on the soil around the magic plant’s roots.
“Sure! Joel-sama, here too, although a bit weak, you have magic!!”
“A mana?”
Even the soil where the magic herb is rooted contains magic power.
I found out something new.
We named this soil Magic Soil.
And I moved the magic clay from the mountain to a potted plant in my room.
‘Does the magical plant grow by absorbing the magical power of the magical soil?’
Then it doesn’t really matter what kind of magical plant it is.
Is that why it was so difficult to distinguish only magic seconds?
If there were separate varieties of magic grass, they would have been mass-produced a long time ago because they had something in common in appearance.
I once planted ordinary weeds, not magical weeds, in magical soil.
After another week, the weeds grew thick.
… It just seemed like the plants in the world of Grew very fast.
This time, he chewed weeds with Delia next to him.
[You have consumed Magic Herb.]
[You have acquired 1 Temporary Magic.]
[HP: 48 (+1)]
The amount of magic power was less than that of the magic candle that I directly collected, but that must be because the amount of magic power contained in the magic clay was small in the first place.
It’s because I brought the soil from the land where the magic herb grew once.
Now we have found out the conditions for magic candles to appear.
Magic Grass grows in Magic Soil.
Probably no matter the plant species.
‘Then how is magic clay made?’
… Stuck here again.
In order to mass-produce, you must also know the creation mechanism of magic clay.
It is difficult to obtain magic clay in large quantities from nature that even Lando has not been able to find.
I had no choice but to climb the mountain with him again.
While digging up magic grass, he turned the ground upside down at the same time to examine the magic clay closely.
I kept doing that for three days, but this time it was difficult to get a hint.
On the fourth day, Lando smiled as he held the magic plant in his hand.
“Delia-nim was attacked by monsters here. It’s kind of like a memory.”
“It’s only been a few months. It seems that all the monsters I killed back then rotted away and returned to the ground.”
“I will.”
… Uh?
Did the monsters rot and return to the ground?
But the magical plant grew on the spot?
All monsters have more or less magic.
And if you kill a monster in , You just leave the body there, unless it’s in a neighborhood with a private house.
It is inedible and cannot be used as a material for tools except in special cases.
‘Could it be that magic soil is created by absorbing magic from monster corpses?’
Then, if you spread monster corpses on the ground as fertilizer, the land will become magical soil.
I came up with a hypothesis, immediately descended the mountain and went to get the monster corpse.
