Chapter 102 - Agricultural land reformation and Magic Scrolls. (2/2)

Yumir and Tobi tilted their heads, in other words…

「If we just soak this sandy soil with water and have it quickly go downwards it’s no good. It’s fine as long as you understand that.」(Hind)

「In that case, water displacement of the soil would be difficult so…maybe bringing soil from another region? What are you going to do, Hind-san.」(Riizu)

The two of them still looked as if they hadn’t understood anything, but since we wouldn’t make progress at this rate, I’ll just keep going.

I took a large amount of scrolls from my inventory and placed them on the ground.

The scrolls were of a light brown color.

「We are going to use these.」(Hind)

「Magic scrolls…? What are we using these for?」(Riizu)

「Ah, I understand this!」(Tobi)

「I got it too! These are…」(Yumir)

「Right, these are earth magic scrolls.」(Hind)

「「Aaaaaah!!」」(Tobi and Yumir)

“I wanted to say that!”, they shouted as if they wanted to complain about that but I ignored them and continued explaining.

「We are going to use this large amount of “Earth Shot” scrolls to mix them with the soil. But since it’s soil made of magic, it gives the image of it not having any nutrients…」(Hind)

「Does it really create it? Does Earth Shot make soil?」(Tobi)

「It does. Furthermore, it’s perfect for water retention. By the way, there’s another one for “Mud Shot” that releases mud.」(Hind)

There are also other earth magic scrolls being sold and I did at least try them out, but among them, I deemed that the beginner magic 『Earth Shot’s』 soil was the most suitable for agriculture.

The amount of soil released is what you should expect from a beginner level spell, but even if it takes some time and effort, we should give priority to quality here.

「Furthermore, this is the worst method in terms of cost efficiency, but…since we don’t know a Earth・Water type mage, we have no other choice.」(Hind)

「These are items made for jobs like Heavy Warriors that are unable to use magic after all. There’s no many uses for them apart from using them in situations like when you are fighting against an enemy with abnormally high physical resistance, so the amount of people that make them are low too.」(Tobi)

「Besides that, only people that don’t form a party and play solo would buy them after all.」(Yumir)

「Even if you played solo, you could just bring an elemental weapon so…they are items with a low variety of uses.」(Hind)

Having said that, scrolls are items with low demand but their prices are high.

Since I used the BBS to place a bulk order from a penniless mage, I was able to buy them far cheaper than if I were to have bought them normally from the trading BBS.

「That being said, everyone, go pick up the scrolls and scatter around. These items rely on the magical power of the crafter, so the effect is fixed no matter who uses them.」(Hind)

「Umu! The truth is, I’ve always wanted to try out magic myself! Even if it’s just an imitation, magic is magic!」(Yumir)

「Me too! In that case, I’ll take ten of them and…here I go!」(Tobi)

From the scrolls, soil came forth and Yumir and Tobi sprinkled it around while having fun.

Riizu and I took a scroll in our hands and started working after taking some distance from each other…

「Why are you sticking close to me!? Make some distance, the soil is going to harden!」(Hind)

「Today I’m really really lacking in nii-san energy so…

It’ll be alright, if we just keep going like this and spread it left and right, there will be no issues.」(Riizu)

「Nii-san energy? What’s that?」(Hind)

Linking arms with me after saying that, Riizu looked over at Selene-san and the rest…specifically at Siesta-chan, and then smiled in triumph.

Siesta-chan noticed her gaze and absentmindedly looked over here and then…averted her eyes with a “Humph” and returned to her work.

I believe there wasn’t much change in her sleepy expression, but even then, Riizu looked satisfied.

Then her body approached mine even more.

「I mean, what are you trying to do? Besides, I’d be really happy if you could separate from me already.」(Hind)

「Fufu…I refuse. I won’t separate until we finish this work at the very least.」(Riizu)

Riizu denied my request and started sprinkling the soil with a scroll on one hand.

It was embarrassing so I tried to shake off the arm that was linked to mine, but I couldn’t comprehend where she’s getting all that strength from with that small body of hers.

Besides, didn’t she just decide this on her own? Where did she learn this technique…

I sighed and gave up, then I took a scroll and started spreading the soil.

A small magic circle showed up and a low amount of soil was vigorously shot.

Ah, this is more fun than I expected.
