112 # 107 Sugar cane quest and sugar making.txt (1/2)

We took the quest, and the result was...

'Wow!　I lost~!

A disastrous failure, I couldn't deal with the massive amount of bores coming from all directions. This is a moderately impossible task.

'It's hard to defend, isn't it?'

'Absolutely. I don't think we've done anything wrong, though.

''Well... as long as there are six of us guarding it, the six of us should be dealing with each direction, but there were too many of them...''

Yes... slash and burn, but they kept coming and I couldn't deal with them.

Now, let's see what we're going to do. I can't use spirit summoning... and my trump card is Lily and Aeon's pseudo-dragonization. If I had to use it, it would be Ion, but that's where I got an idea.

''...Aeon. Dragonwave can swallow this area, right?

'What?　It's possible, but if you do that, Tact-san and the others will be swept away, won't they?

Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it, okay?

Setia seems to have grasped my intentions with that alone.

''Tact-sama... no way.''

Oh...until they can't deal with it because it's coming from all sides, and they can only come from one side.

The two of them give me a question mark when I say that.

'What do you mean?'

I don't know...

Love Fire doesn't know about Dragon Wave. Lily is...well, she's Lily, so I'll just have to...explain.

Revenge. As long as we use our trump card, we'll decide here! The keystone of the operation, Ion, is at the very edge of the event field. The operation instructions are synchronized, so we're good to go. Then let's do it.

The boas are rushing in.

”Earthwall!

Me and Setia will surround ourselves with an earth wall. We're all set.

'Aeon, now!'

'Yes!　''Pseudo-dragonization, activate!

Aeon becomes a pseudo-dragon. Unfortunately, we are surrounded by an earthen wall and can't see it.

'Dragon technique!　Dragon Wave!

When Ion says that, there is a shock to the clay wall with the sound of waves. It's tense, but he seemed to be okay somehow.

'Dragon wave, it's over. You can deactivate the earth wall and you'll be fine. Please take care of the rest.''

”Oh. Good job. I'll take care of it.

I deactivate the earth wall. Then I look at the boa and the others and see them gathered on the right side. They were being carried away by a wave coming from the left.

This was my plan. The boa are now taking damage from the Dragon Wave and are gathering at the edge of the field on the right. It's a magical target.

”Thunderbranch!

Splash!

Me and Setia's range magic explodes. The rest of us come in, but Lily, Love Fire, and Gray take care of it, and range magic again. This is a match. There are only a few left, and Lily, Love Fire, and Gray will be able to finish them off. After defeating them to some extent, Gray retrieved Ion, whose strength was exhausted.

''Good job Ion. Gray also did a good job.

Gow.

I'm glad to hear it's working.

Right. Gray went to attack the boa. It's rock solid. We got the sugar cane!

Tact, it's over!

It looks like Lilly killed the last boa. As expected of a boa hunter.

That's the kind of image Lily has in my mind, since she only beat the boa first. As I was buoyed by the sugar cane get, Gray and Love Fire's voices echoed.

''Gaaa!''

'Not yet!　Something big is coming!

What!

Bwuow!

Grey and Love Fire looked towards consciousness and a giant boar appeared. Identification.

Boar leader?

Quest bosses to be killed?

Well...okay. You don't want to give me the sugar cane...fine. I'll get it no matter what!

Lily, you can use your pseudo-longue. Show that guy the difference in levels.

I got it!　Tact!　Pseudo-dragonization!

A pillar of light rises up and a pseudo-dragonified Lily appears from within it.

''Ikuyo!''

Lily and the Boar Leader collided head on. No, Lily stopped the Boar Leader's movement with one hand. Seriously? Are you going to single-handedly stop a boar that's much bigger than us from charging at you? I mean, the Lily one, you did it knowing you could do it.

'If you pseudo-dragonize her, Lily's strong!

Lily tossed the Boar Leader into the air. Then she flies through the air and activates a special combo. I get ready too.

'Fighting Qi!　From - Dragon Technique, Dragon Claw!

A direct hit to the Boar Leader. The Boar Leader was knocked to the ground, but it had half of its HP left. Lily was about to unravel the pseudo-dragonization. But this skill depends on magic power. Then I can do this.

''Entrust!

All my magic is going to flow to Lily. G...you're wobbly. This feeling, it's like when you fall down from working too hard. I can't do anything because my magic power is gone now. But Lily's pseudo-dragonization continues.

'Huh?　Is this the magic of tact?

Lily!　Decide!

'Uh-huh!　I got it!

Lily swings upward and slashes at the boar leader from the sky.

''Dragon Claw!''

A direct hit to the boar leader. But it doesn't die. A little left. For the falling damage, it remained short. But Lily's pseudo-dragonization hasn't been lifted yet either.

'That's the end!　Dragonclaw!

Lily went around to the side of the Boar Leader and blasted the Boar Leader with a side cleave. The Boar Leader's HP was totally lost and did not get up.

A level up info came in, informing him that the quest had been completed.

'The level of the profession intermediate summoner has been increased. The number of summoners you can join has increased by one.''

'Level of the mid-level summoner has been increased. You have gained 1 skill point.

I had 20 skill points left, which was the number of summons I could take with me, 10.

We rejoiced, but the combo I did on Lily put Ion and Setia in a bad mood. We promised them that we'd do it if we had the chance, which put them in a better mood.

After completing the quest, we recovered to be able to move and then report to grandma.

Thank you. That's your reward.

Thank you.

Now the quest is complete. I got a sugarcane seedling.

Sugarcane: Rare 4 Food Item Item Grade D

It is a member of the grass family and the pith of the stem is eaten and the juice is squeezed and drunk. It has other uses besides eating.

Let's go plant it in the field right away.

Our field was located at the edge of the village, near the village church. Near the village church. That's no wonder we were new to the area, right?

The size of the field was 2 tsubo (2.5 square meters), or about 4 tatami mats. A tatami mat is about 4 tatami mats worth. Well, it was just a field for the first time. I think this is about the size of the field.

We were about to plant the sugarcane seedlings when we forgot an important thing: I've never planted a sugarcane before. I've never planted sugar cane before, and I wonder if I'm cultivating it correctly.

Of course there's no way of knowing if you ask Una-san. On the contraryーー

'What?　Don't you just plant it in the ground?

I don't think so, do you? Because it's pretty elaborate with the food. I don't think they cut corners in agriculture.

...Jammed! Oh, my God! What an a**h*le! I never thought I'd make such an elementary mistake!

I was depressed when I heard my savior's voice.

'Um...I can pretty much figure out the plant thing, right?'

Setia made that statement. Seriously! Savior!

So I planted the sugarcane seedlings under the guidance of Setia. We watered them and had a break.

I'll take care of this one too, please.

Yuna asks Setia for help. Two bad people teaching a little girl about vegetables. It's so pathetic.
