Chapter 8 (2/2)
“Huh? N-No, that’s……”
Confused at the proposition, the h voice
No wonder, I mean we only met today Furthermore the other party’s face is concealed by a hel, you’d certainly want to refuse
However, when young Helena heard that hercould be healed, she stared atup, so that I could inspect it
The ned herself to fate
Agreeing to it, I placeand tried to invoked the spell
Softly chanting 【Heal】, white lights appeared fro Upon contact, the lights were absorbed into her skin
The hter vacantly watched the spectacle before thee froe was a perfectly fine leg
“Mom! There is no injury! No scars either!!”
Helena’s dee s for joy
Looking at her daughter’s s to me
“Thank you very much Arc-sama, you surely must be a famous priest I can’t believe that there is no trace left of the wound……”
“No, I only wanted to try since it had been a while, I didn’t even have much confidence that it would work The wound was healed, and that’s for the best”
Actually, this was ic in real life, so I’ froic Now only the extent of this world capability with it is unknown
“I’m home mother”
The eldest daughter, Marca, finally returned hoe collection baskets near the door Her height was around 150 ctails, that rested above her shoulders Her blue eyes were the same as her mother’s She was also tanned a healthy color
“Marca, did you put out a request to the adventurers guild? I aht?”
“Ah! My request was received by Knight-sama?! The request was for a escort for ”
“Are you erous on its own! Yet you intended to go, even with the recent monster appearance?!”
“But……, The request fee has already been paid for and the reas already posted……”
The mother, that heard the content of the request, harshly refused it Marca frowned, as the request had already been paid for I wonder what happens when the client abandons the request? The absurd notion of lost profits spring form my head
“So! I will go to collect the herbs instead!”
“Wait a !”
“Quite down and listen Marca! Knight-saht for me to enter the forest!! Look”
Senna lifted the hem of her skirt a little, to show Marca the co, Marca looked my way in surprise
“I’ was corow! So it is pointless for you to go!”
Apparently the ht ument
“You are the reason that I sought an escort Did you see the state of that injury mother?!”
“Then it’s decided!! Knight-sah the forest!”
After being told so, Marca picked up her basket and left the went outside After realizing what just happened, I chase after her As I left the house I received another thank you frorab Marca and escape with 【Dimensional step】
When I look around in in the village, Marca aving her hand at ain and start heading over there Together with Marca, I leave the village and walk along its northern perimeter
“Knight-sa this request Half of the reason I needed to collect the herbs was because of ht-sama already healed it, I only have one reason now
Marca said so, while laughing aly
“Ho then?”
“Last year, my father passed away do to illness I help in the field, but it is still quite hard on us The ood price in the city, it could ease the strain on mother a little…… Every year, I picked herbs with my father, and he would sell them, you know”
“To fully ease the strain of your erous?”
“Don’t you know, going froon s like land dragons or wyverns, but it should be safe if we stay in the shallow areas Although, we can’t stay to long because there are more monsters here than in other forests”
I listen to Marca’s explanation as we enter the forest Apparently, northeast of our current location was the wild dragon e Far away the white summits of the mountains can be seen
While advancing through the forest, the pressure to leave this place only grow the further ent in
Marca see, as she started to run We approached a piece of land that was s, and had many rocks at the center of the pit Between the the rock, a small patch of plants could be seen
Marca goes down there, and starts to fill her basket with the plants An innumerable amount of lotus shaped plant seem to have been collected at a fast pace
“This is the cocla medicinal herb It is effective in the treatment of wounds and skin diseases”
While collecting the herbs, Marca shook her braids and explained the plant’s uses I scanned our surroundings, but there were no signs of beast or monsters So I went down to help collect the cocla plant h
It see a le to pick plants was an aht
After an hour, the basket was half full with the cocla plants Though there were still so to the next site The next site was apparently the main collection site
Once again the pressure to leave increased as ent farther along When the wild anih we have yet to encounter any monsters
We advanced in the forest for a while, before coentle slope extends out, as I notice that the surrounding tree branches were a pale white, and that the trees were enclosed by circles of fallen white flowersA sweet fragrance was also carried by the wind
“We made it! The flowers are in full bloom! The kobumi tree branches are all pale white!!”
Filled with joy, Marca began to run toward the line of kobu for Marca to remain still Beyond the tress, I saw a rock like object But unlike a nor
“Marca, don’tthere!!!”
“Eh?”
