Chapter 696 - Episode 619: Foresight
Tuesday
"Well, it turned out fine, didn't it?"
Natto, who had heard the whole story of yesterday, answered like that.
Iincho was nodding too, and I also couldn't think of any other solution.
"If you just look at the results, I wonder if that research was a success?"
"That's iffy, isn't it? The Necrophager that Shou defeated is pretty special too, right?"
"I think so. The fact that there was a trigger called Calamity was a big factor, wasn't it?"
I feel like that messed up a lot of things.
So I figure it's probably not possible to reproduce.
"Well, the fact that we got the whole island is more important, I guess."
"Yeah. Now we can finally relax."
At my words, Natto and Iincho gave me half-lidded stares.
But I and Mion had no idea what they meant...
"Did something happen?"
"I think the Mutual Aid Association talk will come soon."
"I heard that in Sabana-san's live yesterday, there was talk of rice, Haku, being found. Ultimately, they'll bring it to the mainland through the Mutual Aid Association that Ise-kun mentioned."
Whoa, for real?!
I'm happy, but! I'm happy, but it's going to get busy again, isn't it!
...
...
...
After school, club activity.
I told Bell-buchou about yesterday's matter, and also asked about Sabana-san's live.
"Yes, I heard too. It seems they found it a little while ago, but they successfully cultivated it and increased it. Sending the Plant Encyclopedia was good too, wasn't it?"
"That's thanks to Mion."
"A-au..."
By the way, Sabana-san herself isn't very knowledgeable about rice cultivation, but apparently she somehow made a paddy field and with Esason's help, it was a bountiful harvest.
They harvested, threshed, hulled, and though the polishing was haphazard, they cooked rice and everyone ate it.
"It seemed like quite a food-terror live, huh?"
"I bet."
IRO is still mainly bread, pasta, and Kohaku (wheat) right now.
If Haku (rice) can be cultivated, everyone will probably start bringing onigiri in their lunches.
"Um, I heard there was also talk about the Mutual Aid Association..."
"Yes. But that said, Sabana-san doesn't seem to be in a hurry, and it's said she wants Shou-kun to cultivate Haku first."
"Huh?"
I think it would become a specialty product of Sabana's Island, though...
"There's also the fact that Shou-kun has a Magic Brewer, you know?"
"Ah!"
With Haku, we can make miso and soy sauce!
"Hmm, there are midterms, and I'd like to do the rice planting before the test period starts, but..."
Maybe I could leave it to Pan and Kuro, but that would be after they've learned to grow it properly.
"Um, is there something we can provide from our side?"
"That's right. If we can get Haku's seed rice, I'll provide anything."
"That's right. I'll ask through Season-san if there's anything Sabana-san wants."
Then, I guess we should coordinate times and ask Emeraldia-san to go.
Well, it would be better to match their wishes.
"Anyway, leaving that aside, what are you planning to do with the Necrophager's Magic Stone?"
"Uh, we decided to keep it secret for now."
I plan to announce that I defeated the Necrophager and occupied the entire island in the next live, but the loot will be kept secret.
Also, according to Mion's check, the fight with the Necrophager is under Live Protect and can't be viewed...
"That's safe, I suppose. Especially considering the Magic Stone cultivation talk."
"By the way, what's happening with the talk about everyone collecting Magic Stones?"
"Right now, Magic Stones are gathering at Anshia-san and Daytron-san's places."
"Huh?"
I knew about Ice Princess Anshia, but was Daytron-san also collecting?
"I suppose the goal is to make Regenerated Magic Crystal Stones and restart the Auxiliary Control Room?"
"That might be part of it, but Daytron-san has been collecting since around when Shou-kun discovered the Spirit Stone."
According to Bell-buchou's story, the noble with connections to Daytron-san is an old distinguished family in the Republic. Apparently they originally handled Magic Crystal Stones.
"You talked with Natto-san about making magic tools, right? And then, wouldn't Magic Crystal Stones be insufficient?"
"Right, right. If players can make magic tools, the demand for medium and larger Magic Crystal Stones would increase a lot."
"Oh, that's right. I wonder if Daytron-san is collecting anticipating that far ahead?"
"..."
Of course, Bell-buchou, Seth, Natto, and Iincho haven't leaked any talk like 'players might be able to make magic tools'...
...
...
...
"I placed it!"
Yes.
Today, I went to the harbor for the first time in a while.
It was because the Magic Brewer came up, but also because I hadn't been able to meet True.
I met Selkie when I left the Storage, so she should come soon, but...
"Kyuu~!"
"Sorry I haven't been able to come play."
I catch True as he jumps on me.
Last time was when you came to Mion's album release party.
Before that too, I was busy with preparations, so I couldn't come much. As expected, I want another Transfer Magic Circle.
"The north side of the island has settled down, so I'll come by again regularly from now on."
"Kyukyu~"
Once I get Haku and can make miso and soy sauce, I'll have to come here, and anyway, I want to fish in peace.
"Ah, I'll stay here tonight."
"Kyuu~♪"
At night, I want to show True and the others the castle on the Small Magic Boat. I also want to introduce True and the others to Sera-san.
Ah, for Wednesday's live, maybe it would be good to start from the boat and then come up from the underground of the tower.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Following the delayed arrival of Mion and Sweee, the White Dragon Princess, El-san, and Emeraldia-san also came. It seems they are going to pick Camlus and Rumonella here.
"Nya!"
"Yeah, the alcohol as usual."
I have Shal and the others carry the accumulated sake barrels.
I need to send some to Argenta-san and the others soon too.
