Chapter 11 [The number of travelers to the town has increased.] Part 1
I stretched inside the tent as I woke up in the morning.
I arranged my personal appearance with <<Clean>> magic, put on my usual robe with hood attached, and left the tent as I picked up my staff.
In front of the tent was Tet who was still on guard and the three adventurers that we saved yesterday.
“Oh, Jou-chan. You woke up. Morning.” (T/N: Jou-chan = Miss. You get ‘Jou-chan cause that’s my TL style.)
“Good morning.”
I briefly replied back, took out food from my magic bag on my waist, and put it on top of the rock table.
“Here. Helping you once or twice more doesn’t matter anymore, here you go.”
“That really helps. By the way, this is a gift, but……”
Come to think of it, when I healed his little brother, I didn’t think of demanding compensation, on top of offering the two meals as well.
(I wonder how much medical treatment costs in this world? Also, how about the food acquired inside the forest?)
The price of things in a vending machine on the summit of Mt. Fuji is three to five times more than a normal vending machine, or something like that situation. Five times the price of everything is fine probably.
“Let’s see. How much is treatment usually?”
“Let’s see. The minimum is one silver coin and skyrockets from there. My younger brother’s injury would have cost no less than 10 silver coins.”
That amount of magic costs 10 silver coins. Isn’t that too much of a ripoff?
Well then, using the minimum one silver coin cost as the basis, let’s make four times the price like how it is mountain climbing.
“Well then, putting the treatment and food together, I’ll take four silver coins.”
“Wha!?”
I replied lightly towards the man’s raised astonished voice.
“It doesn’t have to be right now in particular, you know. You can return to the town first.”
“No, I’ll pay now!”
Having said that, the adventurer Lyle turned his boots inside out, there was money hidden on the bottom of his boot soles and stuck to his armor, and handed over to me four silver coins total along with his adventurer companion called Anna.
“Is this fine?”
“…… I have received it.”
Honestly, it doesn’t feel very good to receive silver coins hidden in boots.
It feels dirty, so I removed the dirt with the cleaning magic <<Clean>> and sterilized it.
Thinking a little more on it, it’s probably common to hide funds in boots in a worst-case scenario, but could there be an old wives tale bit of wisdom where it prevents athlete’s foot due to the sterilization effect of putting the silver coin in the boots and the silver ions? After thinking of it in that way, unexpectedly, I didn’t despise it anymore.
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“What is it? Since you’re our lifesaver, If it’s something I can answer, I’ll answer anything!”
“If you descend this river, will it be connected to a town where people live?”
“Ahh, it’s Daryl, the frontier town where we live. If you’d like, do you want to go together?”
I had assumed they would propose this themselves before I slept.
Although I healed his brother’s injury, rather than risk returning to their town carrying a fellow adventurer that isn’t in their normal condition yet, I imagine although we were slow-footed, it should be safer to head there together with us who would be capable of defeating a group of orcs.
Also, I’m thinking about wanting to absorb information about this different world from them.
“Yes, I do not mind. Tet, you are also fine with that, right?”
“Tet obeys what Majo-sama tells me.”
As Tet and I said that, Lyle-san was relieved.
“Well then, let us depart after we have breakfast.”
After saying that, I had breakfast along with Tet.
Well, what we ate were the same contents as what the adventurer trio Lyle-san and them ate, so they wouldn’t be suspicious.
Nevertheless, I ate just one [Seed of Magic] in order to increase maximum mana.
Due to good luck, I increased my maximum mana by 5 today.
“Well then, we finished eating… but that adventurer is anemic, right?”
“Sorry. Could you wait a bit?”
The adventurer named John who was injured was apologetic towards me who saved him, but I don’t feel like lashing out at an injured person.
“Could you wait a minute?”
I took out food that I stockpiled in my magic bag.
One of them was a prune jam full of iron. The other one was a normal yogurt.
I transferred the contents to another container, mixed it, and handed it over to him.
“Try eating this. It will not immediate effective like medicine, but it is better than doing nothing.”
“Ahh, sorry about that. Ahh, it’s bittersweet and delicious.”
Seeing John-san eat leisurely, Lyle-san asked me.
“We’ve received various favors from you, sorry. Also, what medicine is that?”
“It is not a medicine, but food, where jam created using a fruit called prune and yogurt which is fermented milk, is mixed together. Prune is effective against anemia…… so it should also be effective during a female’s monthly thing.”
“Really!? Give me some too!”
“No! That’s something that I received!”
I wonder if there’s yogurt even in this other world? Lyle-san understood, while the other party, the female Anna-san, snatched away the prune yogurt from the injured and anemic John-san.
I wondered if she was troubled about her menstruation cycle/period being disordered due to neglect of health and stress from her adventurer fieldwork.
Also, behind me was—-
“Majo-sama~, that looks delicious……”
“Haa, I get it. I’ll make Tet’s portion too. I’ll also make Anna’s too, so calm down.”
In the end, the prune jam that I saved up with creation magic disappeared.
Because I used plenty of sugar in the jam, Tet and Anna-san seemed to be eating sweet food happily.
Then, Lyle-san who was strongly grateful.
“Let’s go to the town after we finish eating and clean up.”
“Ahh, alright.”
Even though I’m a grown-up, is it okay for them to get caught up in my childish pace? I worried a little bit while we departed.
“I believe we should be able to see the town just past noon from here…”
“Well, we are moving slowly, we perhaps might arrive a bit later.”
Although he ate the prune yogurt and replenished some iron, John-san won’t recover immediately.
Apart from that, my movement speed with my child-like body even slower, so overall we moved leisurely.
It might take until the evening before we barely manage to reach the town.
Well, when I look at the innocent Tet who was happily walking as the vanguard, it was as if she didn’t care about anything.
However—-
“Oww—-Majo-sama~”
Tet slipped on the rocky area and fell into the river, and clung to me in tears.
I was worried that her earth body would dissolve, but it seems like she’s fine.
However, even so, I wish she’d stop hugging me while his body was wet.
When I chanted the drying wind spell <<Breeze>>, Tet mad a blank expression, then laughed ‘hehe’, and my expression slackened as I thought she couldn’t be helped.
