Chapter 39: The power of Setia and the shock of Tsukune<hr>


    Now, let''s ask Setia about the tree magic I was interested in.


    "Setia, what is tree magic?"


    "Tree magic is a special kind of magic that only we elves, the guardians of the forest, can handle"


    Only elves can use tree magic, which means it''s original magic? Isn''t that great?


    "Although it is powerful, it takes a long time to cast and consumes a lot of magic power"


    "Well, there is a risk..."


    When I say so, Setia suggests.


    "I''m not sure if you''d like to see it? I can only use rudimentary tree magic"


    "That''s right. I want to check it, so I''ll go out to the field for a while"


    Now, the problem is organization. If I put in Setia, I have to pull out someone. Lily and Ion are excluded from the candidates. I''m going to take them with me so I can avoid their stares. I''ll take you, so don''t give me that stare attack.


    But the time is night. Gray is a must for night hunting. So the candidates would be Kotetsu or Konoha. Normally, I''d take out Konoha, who handles the same magic as Setia, but I''ll take out Kotetsu here. The reason for this was that it would be painful to lose a valuable aerial fighter.


    So, after introducing ourselves, we headed to the Beginning Meadow!


    Our first opponent was a horde of boars. Which should be a good match.


    "Setia, I ask for tree magic. Lily, reduce their numbers. Don''t annihte them"


    "Understood"


    "Leave it to me"


    "Ion and Gray, you''ll guard Setia. I rely on you"


    "Understood"


    Then Lily blows them up as usual and we destroy the approaching enemies individually. When we reach thest one, I''ll send Lily back and let Ion take care of it. Ion is able to dodge Boar''s attacks with ease.


    And now it''s time to unveil the tree magic.


    "Forest Warrior!"


    When Setia chanted, a forest-green magic circle was drawn on the ground, from which a tree in the shape of a person appeared. In its hands, it is equipped with a wooden sword and a wooden shield. Could this be a summoning?


    When I checked my party members, I saw that there were seven party members and a Forest Warrior had been added. Hee, so it''s summoned separately from the party limit. That''s awesome. Now, I''m watching the fight.


    When the boar lunged at the forest warrior, the forest warrior caught it with its wooden shield and attacked the boar with his wooden sword. The attack took down the boar. Oh, that looks pretty useful.


    But then, Setia fell on me.


    "Hey! Are you okay!?"


    "I''m fine...it''s just a reaction to using all my magic power at once"


    Certainly, I sometimes felt tired when I used magic power, but it was the first time I saw a recoil that caused someone to copse. Looking at Setias MP, the magic power of 30 was 0. Wow, this is terrible.


    "Can you stand up?"


    "I''m not sure I can"


    "Oh dear, I don''t have a choice"


    I''m going to put Setia on my back.


    "Aah! That''s not fair, Setia-chan!"


    "I can''t move, so it can''t be helped"


    "That''s right, uh~"


    Lily groaned. And as for Ion...


    "..."


    It''s a silent pressure, a gaze attack.


    "Let''s talk about this before it happens"


    "Would you have given me a piggyback ride if I told you?"


    "I will forbid tree magic"


    "I didn''t tell you on purpose because I knew you would"


    Setia smiles wickedly and sticks out her tongue. Damn...that''s cute.


    "Is there any magic that can be used other than just before?"


    "There is Tree Wall"


    "Oh! Wall magic?"


    "Yes. It''s a wall spell that summons a giant tree"


    A level 1 wall spell...that''s strong. Moreover, the big tree has a hard image in my mind. Yug-san was having a hard time. It''s very good magic to expect.


    Even so, Setia has been smelling since a while ago and Lily''s line-of-sight attacks are continuing, but there is no sign of stopping. She really is a difficult girl to get along with. That''s what I thought as I returned to the inn.


    When I arrived at the inn, I made my daily routine of cooking roasted meat. Apparently, Setia is not a fan of meat. ording to her, her staple food is vegetables and she also eats fish. So, when I served her the tsukune I had made, Mhi-san, who had spotted it, asked me.


    "What''s that?"


    "This is a dish called tsukune. I made it using Amur minnow. It''s quite delicious"


    "Amur minnow is delicious? That''s ridiculous~"


    Mhi-san shouts, eating the baked tsukune.


    "What is this!? It''s delicious!?"


    It reminds me of the time I made yakiniku.


    "Is this really Amur minnow?"


    "That''s right. You can tell by appraisal"


    "Yes...it''s true...can you make this with Amur minnow?"


    Ah, could this be...?


    "It takes time and effort, but I can make it"


    "Please! I''m going to buy a lot of them now, can you make it for me?"


    "Sure"


    "Thank you! Ah, I''ll make sure to add it to your part-time sry"


    I''m grateful for that.


    "Will it sell that well?"


    "It''ll sell for sure! This is an incident"


    That''s an exaggeration.


    "Takuto-kun, you don''t understand! You can eat the bitter and inedible Amur minnow! And it tastes so good! It''s a big deal to those of us whose staple food is boar meat!"


    Ah~, that makes sense when I hear it...then, I guess I''ll do my best for the people of the town. Later, Mhi-san, who had bought arge quantity of Amur minnow, came back with the old man from the fish shop. Apparently, Mhi-san had told him about the tsukune. I immediately started cooking and served the tsukune to the old fish dealer. It was interesting to see the old man''s reaction and Mhi-san''s conversation when he ate it.


    "Seriously..."


    "Please don''t raise the price of Amur minnow, okay?"


    "Ku!?"


    As one would expect, Mhi-san. And then we find out why Mhi-san brought the old man from the fish shop. The old man also recognized that the tsukune was an incident and rushed to inform his acquaintances. He said they could eat tsukune at this restaurant...Mhi-san, you''re too clever.


    After that, I made a huge amount of tsukune and with my cooking skill leveling up, I logged out.<hr>
