Vol 5 Chapter 62 (1/2)

After leaving the Adventurer’s Guild, we went shopping for some goods before returning to the Healer’s Guild, but we were not attacked today.

Either because the magic tools were interesting, or that there was a lot of free time today, the healers cooperated with Naria and to began to prepare dinner.

“We’re back. Is everybody making dinner together today?”

I asked laughingly. Jordo-san replied as the representative.

“Yeah. Because currently we don’t have anything else to do once we finish our healing magic study group. Nevertheless, this collection of recipes is amazing. Even dishes from my hometown are listed in it.”

He laughed joyfully and the other healers similarly swelled with excitement.

Even Naria nodded as well, but Lionel was behind me so I didn’t pry any further into his background.

“Then I’ll leave tonight’s cooking to you all. Also, I would like all the healers to follow me to the Adventurer’s Guild tomorrow. Ah, it’s not to fight. Just for tomorrow, we’ll provide free treatment to inform them about our healer’s healing magic. I’ve already discussed this with the Pope so don’t worry.”

Visiting the Adventurer’s Guild. As soon as I announced that, I saw the color drained from everybody’s faces.

Which was why I immediately added in that it was not to fight. They showed relieved expressions and began discussing with each other. But I felt sad after catching a slight glimpse of what they think of me.

“We will depart after tomorrow’s lunch. I will have Piazza-san remain in the guild tomorrow to command the criminal slaves. I will be in the underground for a while so please let me know when dinner is ready.”

“Certainly, Luciel-dono.”

After Jordo-san performed a pose of salute with his hand on his chest while laughing, the others also laughed and imitated him.

While thinking that it was a good trend that Jordo-san creates such atmospheres, I also saluted while laughing and descended underground.

Cathy said that she had something to discuss with Naria so she remained in the 1st floor. Lionel was the only person next to me.

” … This is the underground right?”

I muttered. Even Lionel who wasn’t surprised this morning was surprised now.

” … Was, I think it’s become ‘this was the underground?’ ”

The calm and collected Lionel looked like he received a blow to the face. I didn’t feel his usual manner that comprehends everything coming from him.

That’s to be expected. Who can predict that such a pseudo-s.p.a.ce can be built within a couple of hours?

This morning, the underground first floor’s magic stones embedded in the high ceiling were adjusted such that the s.p.a.ce was as bright as the Labyrinth of Tribulations.

There was also a small field and a walking s.p.a.ce that looks like it was meant for Fornoir and the horses to have some simple exercise.

Now in the underground first floor, the ceiling had become a sky that even had the sun. Furthermore, there was even wind blowing.

The field looked soft, like it was tilled by a cultivator, and there even was a fence so that Fornoir and the horses wouldn’t enter.

In addition, the walking s.p.a.ce meant for Fornoir and the horses became a ranch and Fornoir and the horses were spending their time leisurely within it.

“Is such a thing possible in reality? Rather than that, can this be done by man?”

“It’s thanks to master. My 「Magic Engineer」 level and 「Magic Tool Manufacture」 skill level increased.”

The person who replied to my mutterings was Paula instead of Lionel.

“So you’ve woken up, no that’s not it. Paula, you can create pseudo-s.p.a.ces?”

“Not yet. Only after increasing another 2 ranks would I be able to use 「s.p.a.ce Expansion」.”

She shook her head but isn’t this child’s ability broken? Then, Dolan appeared and began boasting about his granddaughter.

“Ooo! You’re back, Luciel-dono, Lionel. The reinforcements for all the floors have been completed. After that, we made adjustments that we are interes … that are useful to everyone.”

This dwarf totally wanted to say that it was because he was interested in trying it. As I was still in shock, Paula held out her hand towards me.

“Hmm? What is it Paula?”

“Magic stones please.”

” … ”

” … ”

” … ” (Glare)

I glared at Dolan and he averted his gaze.

“I no longer have any? I pa.s.sed it all to Dolan and told him that I don’t have anymore.”

Upon hearing that, Paula slowly looked like she was going to cry as she said a single word to Dolan.

” … Grandfather you liar.”

“Guha!”

It had outstanding destructive force towards Dolan’s mental spirit.

“There was no helping it. Luciel-dono hoped for the safety of the Healer’s Guild, so that amount of magic stones was all needed to stretch a barrier around the whole guild. Paula understands that right.”

“Grandfather said that master had a lot of magic stones.”

“That was because … ”

Halfway through the argument between the 2 of them, I asked Lionel.

“About what level are the 2 of them?”

” … As Blacksmith and Magic Tool Enchanter, top-notch and close to first-cla.s.s. Of all that I’ve met, Dolan-san wins one-sidedly. While Paula is still young, that technical capability of hers show considerable ability.”

… Don’t tell me … I’ll try asking just in case.

“Is Naria as strong as Lionel and Cathy, or has abilities like Dolan and Paula?”
