The Novice Alchemist's Store

"By the way, it's Mr. Michael and Mr. Izu who manage this field, right?

"Yes, because my brother is only here to help me until I become a“ field "...... Thank you for your guidance, as we may inconvenience you."

"I'll do my best, too. This is my first farming job, though!

I bow my head, Michael, and Izu, who grips his hands tightly to get in the mood.

I had an imagination from words and deeds and their appearance...

"Isuzu isn't from the countryside, is he?

"Yeah, I grew up in South Strag, born in South Strag. This is the first time I've ever lived in a rural area."

"Michael has done some farming before, right...?

He's Mr. Gatt's brother, so I should have helped him with the house, at least while he was in this village.

But I haven't burned it in the day, and I don't look like a farmer at all, physically.

I don't know what I was doing in town, but I think I'm lacking muscle strength, and I don't have to feel a little anxious.

Even if the cultivation method itself can be instructed, I'm not an agricultural expert either, and the herbal cultivation and agricultural bulk cultivation of alchemists growing on a small scale. I think there are many differences.

You perceived my mood like that, Mr. Gatt opened his mouth like he was having a little trouble.

"Ah, because I left the village as soon as I grew up...... But I'm going to help you, and this guy's a bit of an evil guide, but he can do what he's told to do. Sarasa, I'm sorry, but can you look at me in the long run?

"Oh, yes, I don't mind that..."

Alchemist is my main job myself. The least you can do is buy the necessary herbs from the collectors, and once you do, you plan to maintain your own field in the backyard for a while.

I need to invest in getting herb seeds and seedlings first, but I don't have a problem with my life where I failed and didn't have a harvest.

But Michael and the others......

"Even if the herb cultivation doesn't work, is life okay? Everyday living expenses, places to live..."

"Now I rent a room at my brother's and live there. If you have a living, Erin will be paying you for a while..."

"You mean stay. I wish I could build a new home in that neighborhood... If I had a kid, I wouldn't be living here."

That's what Mr. Gatt points to, from my house. On the other side of the field.

Since my house was on the edge of the village until now, if Mr. Michael built the house, would it mean that the village would expand a little?

Erin also said something like, 'If it works, I want to increase the number of herbal fields,' which could be a factor in the increase in the number of villagers?

"This is a serious responsibility."

"No, you don't have to worry about it, do you? Sarasa can grow it properly, can't she? If it fails, the blame lies with Michael. Hey, you're not gonna have kids until you make steady money, are you?

"To, brother!

Michael says back like he's in a hurry and izu dyes his cheeks a little too, to Gut, who laughs and slaps his shoulders with a pasin.

But, you know what?

You're married. Kids can do it, too, right?

"Ha... but I'm also sorry that I'm totally at your disposal, so I'll help you out a little bit, right?

I don't think we've ever gotten past the results as soon as possible, and it must be pathetic to put up with the newlyweds a lot. I don't know.

I don't have a girlfriend!

"It would be easier if you even soiled it up, wouldn't it?

The hardest part of opening work is digging up hard ground.

Fortunately, what was growing here was about the shrub, and there shouldn't have been any joe trees.

I know I've had less trouble with the roots, but it's still hard to dig up the ground and soften it up.

If we just magically deal with it here, we'll be able to field it much sooner, won't we?

"Well, there is..."

Right? Good.

He nods at Mr. Gatt, who looks at me somewhat puzzled, and I try to exercise my magic, hands up.

"Well, hurry up -"

"Mr. Sarasa? If magic can sweep away the clouds and grass, if it blows up the soil, it's hard to use as a field, right?

"... Lorea, what do you think it is about me?

No way, 'cause it's troublesome. Blow it all up!' Like, they think you're a cluttered person?

To a slightly out-of-heart word, when I turned to Zito's eyes, a similar gaze returned from Lorea.

"Remember over there and say it again"

That's what Lorea pointed out. Ahead is the forest that leads from the backyard.

Until a while ago, it was a forest. There, now the grassless ground has been exposed, making it the perfect place for Mr. Iris and his men to train in combat.

Reminds me of the cause that happened, and I get out of sight.

"Oh, that was an attack magic exercise."

"... is it different to use this time?

"It's a kind of thing - stay, well, look!

I turned my back and slowly laid my hands on the ground to the three of them who began to give me a slightly uneasy look at Lorea's words.

◇ ◇ ◇

"So, did you do it right? Store Manager"

That's what Iris asked me back from Erin's place, and I nod naturally.

"Of course it is. Me, because I won't fail!

Lately!

When I apprenticed to my master, it was quite - no, to be honest, I failed like every day, and it bothered me.

But this time it's true.

Lorea's nodding to agree, too.

"Mr. Gatt complimented you, too. He said," You can eat even if you work in Kaizen. ""

"Well, not so much."

"The expansion of agricultural land is a matter of concern in many territories."

He looked at my face and raised his voice as if Mr. Iris and Mr. Kate were impressed.

I was the daughter of a merchant, so I just heard the story, but the manpower opening job seems to be really heavy labor.

Naturally, if you drive out the people and do that, the popularity of the lords will disappear.

But in addition to the farming of my field, it is easy to understand even if my imagination is scarce to say that it would seem very difficult if I were allowed to do more tight opening work than that.

Since the abundance of agricultural land is also the strength of power, the lord wants to open up and secure more agricultural land, but if we force it too much, the inhabitants will be dissatisfied and the work efficiency will not increase.

For once, if the territory is enriched, it will benefit the people as well, because it will take a while before they can feel it.

It seems hard to accept the reality of heavy labor right now in front of us and make us look to the future.

Perhaps the show of the Lord's arms is how to balance that area.

"But, Mr. Sarasa. What was that magic? I didn't know, but does magic exist that you use to open it?

"That magic? That's attack magic for once, too. Because it's the Earth Spear Earth Needle application."

Attack magic that solidifies soil and pierces enemies from the ground.

It is this magic that I used to modify this a little bit, to keep the soil from solidifying, and to keep little from jumping out of the ground.

It is actually very efficient because it omits the effects of high magic consumption, such as speed and intensity.

That's why I was able to put the magic of normally using a few of my enemies against me on one side of the field.

"Really? But it's still amazing, isn't it, magic? The work that farmers do over the course of days ends in an instant."

"That much? Then if you remember the magic and become a wizard who specializes in opening, you won't have any trouble with your life.... difficult magic, is it?

Are you going to remember, Mr. Iris asks about that?

I don't find it particularly difficult, but I don't know if I can...

I thought a little and shook my head.

"It's not that easy, maybe? If you don't think about power, the Earth Spear Earth Needle itself isn't that hard, because if you're going to alter it, you need precise magic manipulation."

And if you can do such precise magic manipulation, you don't have to open up a wizard, so the way to an alchemist opens up.

Of course, magic manipulation isn't the only way you can be an alchemist, but I can tell you that there's just enough ground to be depending on your efforts.

"You've never heard of a wizard like that before. That's why."

"Of course, it's possible that someone who didn't go down the alchemist's path will go that way... because it's plain. Normally, you want to be a general wizard."

"After all, when it comes to wizards, it's a high-powered attack magic. It won't be popular with young people."

Mr. Iris, who nods with a translation face, may also be a mouth longing for such a wizard.

I'm turning a slightly dazed gaze next to it, to see Kate's expression.

But I get it. Because I thought about it a little bit when I was a kid too!

"... Sarasa, if I only practice that magic so hard, will I be able to use it?

"What? You want to remember? Then I can teach you. It depends on Lorea's hard work to be able to... doccan, buckon, doesn't it have to be? For once, I can teach you that, right?

"Even if I remember that, I haven't had a chance to use it."

If you were about Lorea's age, Lorea would deny my words with a bitter smile.

"I was wondering if the magic that helps the villagers would be better than that"

"Adults!? I would have chosen offensive magic! If you're Lorea's age."

"Huh? Is that right? But, Mr. Sarasa, what were you doing when you were my age?

"It was dawn in school - but that's because I was an orphan."

If my parents were alive, I think they would have been different again.

Besides, if you're going to succeed your parents, who used to come and go between towns, I think attack magic would have been more useful, so that's not necessarily a mistake, right?

- My hobby, maybe in there, too, but hey.

"It's good. Teaching is. I don't think it's going to be easy, but I'm sure this village will help."

If it's about Lorea, I'd like you to think more about yourself than about the village, but there's no reason to disagree, so I snort.

... or are you thinking about the future?

It's not Mr. Iris, but remember, it's definitely magic that doesn't seem to starve.
