Arifureta Chapter 97 (1/2)

It’s been a day and half since they set foot once again into the world of brown

Hajiht for the Ankaji (Ancadi) dukedoreat heaps of dust rose froinal destination was the Sea of Trees, but they changed directions because they thought they ht be able to repair the oasis if Koari used her reproduction ic

The reproductionback to its original fored that he should be able to restore the polluted oasis, succeeding with reproduction where recovery ic’s purification failed

Hajime had no reason to particularly object They hadn’t had a chance to try the local specialty fruits last tiestion to return

Unlike last ti in line A lot of big wagons lined up, and judging from the atmosphere, it felt like a line of merchants

“That’s a very large caravan” Hajime stated flatly

“… Nn… will take time”Yue added

“They’re probably bringing in new supplies?” Kaori suggested

Kaori’s guess see line was frodoe of the troop’srelief corps see as they didn’t cause problems

Anyway, because the oasis had been ruined, other than the stockpiled crops, it was necessary to destroy the tainted crops for safety reasons This caused a large need for food as well as water Ankaji couldn’t afford to be choosy who they got help from

Haji to wait under the desert heat, he drove the four wheeler up to the gate without waiting in line

People of the caravan began to notice the black object and started to run, their hearts likely screa in?” Towards the dangerous stares mixed with fear and wariness, Hajiatekeeper in a cloud of dust

As they drew near, the soldiers saw the 4 wheeler and suddenly becaues who recognized the 4 wheeler convinced them to approach without their weaponsAs they approach Hajier to run back to the city

Haji the chaos their presence caused As always, several people are enchanted by Yue’s good looks As Hajime placed the 4 wheeler back into his treasure warehouse, their eyes turned to wonder

“It’s like that Has the God of the Apostles returned?” the gatekeeper asks as he watches the figure of Kaori

The soldiers were relieved to see Kaori Perhaps they recognized her froht Randzi back or when they went to recover the serene stones from the Guryuu-en Great Volcano

It appears like the 4 wheeler had become known as Kaori’s transport, and they named her the “God of the Apostles” Hajime didn’t feel the need to correct thenized Kaori the best, they put her out in front

“Yes, we returned to try to purify the Oasis Please pass this on to the lords…” Kaori began

“Oasis! Is it true?” The gatekeeper responded

“I’ it’s possible…”

“Nevertheless, if it’s an apostle… and we apologize for the ier I cannot leavei area”

It see the country Hajiaze at hi the VIP treatave hiain set foot into the Ankaji Dukedom

_______________________________________________

The lord Randzi ran up breathlessly after about 15It was pretty quick arrival At least to Randzi, it looked like they were important

“It’s been a while I’lad you’re all safe I orried when you did not co the serene stones to Tio-dono It would have been troublesoratitude”

“I’m just a mere adventurer But well, I thank you As you can see, your relief is safely received”

“Oh, and we finished stockpiling the food with the assistance we received Along with the reservoir that Yue o hungry thanks to you and the merchants”

Randzi gently laughed with slightly hollow cheeks It seeue seeh time to rest

“Lord As for the purification of the oasis…” Kaori began

“Apostle-dono… No, Kaori-dono The Oasis is as usual Thanks to the fresh groundwater, the purification is proceeding little by little At least half a year and the oasis should be completely purified One year before it soaks into the nearby soil and purifies it so that we can plant again” Randzi responds a little depressed

Kaori explains that she ht be able to i a moment for it to sink in, “Seriously!?” Randzi spits out feverishly Kaori shyly nods in verification whileto hide behind Hajiht Randzi corrects himself, then asks for the purification politely

Since that was their intention anyway, Hajime nodded and Randzi led theht now In the past, it was a crowded place where people relaxed Randzi was expressionless, but gave off a lonely atmosphere as he remembered the former oasis

Kaori ins to cast reproduction ic

Although Hajiic, as usual his aptitude for it was virtually nothing However, in the case of Shea, it seems there is an automatic recovery effect, but it had to be activated consciously Also, her physical and th see even ht , she has come to be like a heavy tank with automatic recovery installed

The one with the most aptitude was Kaori, followed by Teo, and finally Yue In the case of Yue, as usual, as a consequence of her own special auto-regeneration, this ic seems to have a poor recovery in coh aptitude for recovery rasp on “reproduction”, allowing her to use it more comprehensively and efficiently than anyone else It’s a bit sad that Yue won’t be able to use it to improve her combat prowess

Kaori’s begins to chant It’s a long cast It initially took her 7it down to 3 Since it only took her a week to learn it, it was practically a cheat However, since Yue was present it was hard to truly call her a cheat in comparison Compared to Yue’s abilities, this seemed easy

“—-Stopping elephant” she extends a white staff while closing her eyes andthe final words

In the nexta firefly appeared, and then fell into the middle of the oasis The entire oasis started to shi+ne, and pale light particles began to bubble up to the surface and float into the sky It was a majestic scene that touched the heart It truly felt like the corruption was being purged by heavenly light

Everyone forgot to breathe as they ad the oasis floated away into the sky, Randzi stood without a word, ilow

While supporting Kaori aying a little from exhaustion, Hajime taps Randzi Randzi snaps out of it and orders his men to survey the water quality His subordinates hurry to exa a hard s, Randzi watches over histheir inspection report their results with expressions of disbelief

“… It’s recovered” A subordinate mutters

“Repeat that?” Randzi demands

The subordinate adds words of confir the truth

“No abnorinal oasis! It has been completely cleaned!”

At that moment, Randzi and his subordinates cheered in unision They threhatever docu as they hugged each other and slapped their backs, expressing their joy Randzi also looked up at the heavens, exhaling deeply and wondering if this was a bit too easy

“After that, soil regeneration Lord, where were the crops you discarded?”

“… Well, it is all collected in one place Because of all the tirettable that we had to toss them… wait, you don’t mean…?”

“If Yue and Tio join, it should be possible…”

“… Nn, no problem”

“They were groith effort, it’d be a shame to throw them away” Hajime added

As Randzi realized they ht be able to not only recover the soil, but the lost crops as well, his hand went to his chest and he lowered his head deeply without hesitation It was not so a lord should do, but that was the extent of his appreciation for their actions The love for the that transforms your sense of appreciation

After receiving Randzi’s bow, Hajime tried to move them towards the farmland However, he suddenly stopped when he felt a disturbance A frenzied group of people were approaching in the distance The soldiers of the Anjaki Dukedoht line with nu “far vision”, Hajiroup was populated with Seikyo church officials and tehts from this town

As soon as they approached Hajiroup, they immediately surrounded theal robes of the teerous atmosphere between the man and Hajime was only divided by the presence of Randzi

“See theerous”

“Foribin Bishop, what the hell is this? They are dangerous? This hero has saved out dukedonore disrespect to them as a lord of Ankaji”

“The elderly h at Randzi’s words

“Hue They are already accredited heretics Careless words will co down around you!” the Bishop snarled

“They’re branded heretics? Ridiculous, I have not heard of this”

Randzi was shocked at the word heretic being attached to Hajih He are of the weight of those words Did they make a mistake? He met the Bishop with disbelief

“Of course you wouldn’t know, the news just arrived this ht now, don’t you think that’s exquisite tie from God Destroy the enemies of God… now on to Center…”

Hajime couldn’t hear the voices of the last lines, but apparently Hajime has been branded a heretic Randzi and the Bishop eye him unintentionally

Hajime see a shrug as if to ask “What was I supposed to do?” to Randzi

Randzi wrinkled his eyebrows after seeing Hajime’s response However, the bishop opens his hs

“And now, I have to subdue the enemies of God They say this hts behind meCome with us quietly so we don’t upset the public peace, and on’t s more difficult for you

Randzi closes his eyes Without any uess why Haji his power and his personality Hajie and thus couldn’t allow

However, given the strength of Haji them was a decision equal to suicide Randzi doubted the sanity of picking a ith Hajiht

It is a fact that Hajime saved Ankaji He healed the people ere fallen by poison, prepared the water that was their lifeline, subdued thein the oasis, and further purified the oasis back to hoas before

To this huge debt, it was troubling considering what they could provide as an award Randzi’s eyes greide at the realization that an opportunity just presented itself And, with a serving lord’s dignity, Randzi broke the silence and provided the impatient Bishop an answer

“Rejected”
