The place where we landed was a place where the magic tree (mana wood) grew densely and the magic fog (manamist) was dense.


　This is the opposite of where we passed through with Lloyd and the others last time.

　There are many signs of demons on this side as well.


　Gawain was humming and moving through the grass in the forest of such a demon border.


'Oops, there it is. First of all, pull out the sucking grass and collect it.


　Gawain, who was ahead of me, was pulling out a grass full of large purple berries.


　Alfine and I were adventurers specializing in defeating demons, so we had actually never done this kind of harvesting type request before.

　Adventurers can be divided into three main types.


　Adventurers like me who specialize in defeating demons are called "hunters".

　The adventurers who specialize in collecting rare plants and minerals are called "searchers".

　Adventurers who specialize in researching, exploring and excavating ancient ruins are called Excavators.


　However, the majority of adventurers were hunters, and the number of adventurers who wanted to become searchers and excavators was small.

　The reason for the low number of Searchers and Excavators is clear: they earn less money than Hunters because the number of requests is smaller and the price is lower.


　Adventurers earn their daily bread by completing basic requests.

　That's why many of them become 'hunters' with many requests because they have to worry about tomorrow's meal if they don't earn money.


　I'm not going to be able to get the same amount of money as the rest of you.

　Therefore, I have very little knowledge about collecting plants and minerals.


''What effect does the sucking herb have on you?


　He was questioning Gawain about the effects of the sucking grass as he found a grass full of purple berries.


'This guy?　The fruit has the property of storing magickal fog (manamist). The powdered fruit can be mixed with other ingredients to create a magical stone that reduces the consumption of magic in a sorcerer's staff.

The magic stone. Ah, the one on the end of Noelia's staff.

Yeah. You can also do magic. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to reduce the amount of magic you use by inserting a magic stone into your body. I'll do some other interesting tricks for you.


　Gawain smiled smugly as he pulled out the sucking weed.


　I have enough magic power without my staff.

　However, if I can have the magic stone inlaid into the sword to reduce the magic power, I'd be grateful for that.

　However, I'm too worried about the other tricks.

　Looking at Lloyd's sword, I can't help but feel that if Gawain strikes it normally, it's a first-class sword, so I don't need the interesting tricks he's talking about.


I think a sword struck normally would be fine: ......

That's boring. Flick is a swordsman with a magical talent. Since we're taking the trouble to make a sword that matches his nature, I think it would definitely be better to make a sword that matches his nature. Okay, I'll only use the fruit of the sucking grass. By the way, I heard that the grass part is used to make a magic recovery potion.

Oh, so this grass is the source of the magic recovery potion?


　He ripped the purple berries from the sucking plants he collected with his hands full and stuffed them into Gawain's backpack (bag).

　Hundreds of sucking herb fruits were gathered.


'I'll leave the grasses behind because they're bulky, but you should at least remember that eating them raw restores some magic power.


　Then Gawain began to munch on the grass that he had finished taking the fruit from.

　I was half in disbelief, but I picked up one of the sucking grasses and threw it into my mouth.

　Immediately the foul taste spread to my mouth.

　I couldn't stand the foul taste and immediately spit it out of my mouth.


''Peh, peh, this isn't food, is it?''

No wonder. It's grass.


　Gawain, who said that, was eating that grass normally.

　Something doesn't make sense to me, but I can't help but think that he is Gawain.


I'm not sure if it's a good idea. "Now the bloodsucking mushrooms. They're an infestation of the Madness Boar, so let's get rid of them. They live over here, don't they?


　I followed Gawain as he walked through the dangerous place, the demonic forest, as if it were his own garden.



　As I walked through the forest behind Gawain for a while, I heard the cry of a demon from ahead.


''Gafu, gafu, gafu!''

''It looks like the other party has welcomed us with open arms. Flick, you can use it as a training ground for your body strengthening magic anyway. I'm going to take a break.


　As Gawain said this, he sat down on a stump at his side and began to drink water from his canteen.

　As if to replace Gawain, a giant-bodied boar rushed in from in front of him.


'Oops!'


　He grabbed the fangs of the insane boar (Madness Boar) that suddenly rushed at him and received the rush.

　Due to the increase in muscle strength from the body-strengthening magic, even the lunatic boar's (Madness Boar) rush with its huge physique didn't freak out and was able to receive it.


''Gafu, gafu, gafu!


　The insane boar (Madness Boar) grabbed me by the fangs and flailed around, stepping into my paws in an attempt to shake me off.

　But he was unable to shake it off before my augmented strength.


''Good. Good luck!

Bmooooooo!


　The Madness Boar, held down by me, screamed in frustration and pushed with even more force.

　I removed my hand from my fangs and slashed the head of the boar that was pinned down in front of me with a lazy sword.


　Only the head of the crazy boar (Madness Boar) fell to the ground first, and then the motionless body collapsed to the ground.


　How could this sword make that kind of cut .......

　Body strengthening magic seems to raise the sword's skill, after all.


　The increased strength and speed of both the swinging power and speed of the sword made it seem as if the shockwave cut through it rather than the sharpness of the sword itself.


'That's a beautiful cross-section. I can tell by looking at it that the sword isn't sharp at all, so I guess it's purely a matter of cutting with your arm.


　Gawain, who was sitting on a stump and resting, looked at the neck of the madness boar (Madness Boar), which was still spurting blood, and muttered to himself.


'I think this is also the effect of the body-enhancing magic created by Gawain-sama. I thought that a demon of this magnitude would be able to slash a sword without damaging it.

...... Okay. I'll take care of the whole thing. I'm collecting blood-sucking mushrooms from the head of a Madness Boar.


　As Gawain said that and pointed his finger at me, dozens of madness boars (madness boars) were charging towards us.
