Episode 94
second arrangement
Before we knew it, Otto Hahn had disappeared without a trace.
There were so many things to ask about this and that.
[Tsk! Anyway, he still feels like he’s just watching for fun. No matter how you look at it, it’s in bad taste. Don’t you ever become a loser like Otto Hahn. No matter how bright the face of this woman is, she absolutely hates that type of personality.]
“I will take note.”
Elric nodded as if it was the right thing to say.
If Mephisto had been nearby, he would have hurled a point at me, but unfortunately(?) he wasn’t there as arrangements were being made right now.
“Then Dongbaek, what should I do from now on?”
[Of course, first you have to find a garden to plant seeds, right? The location and soil quality don’t really matter, but you will still need to choose the soil very carefully in order for the seeds to sprout. This is a black snowy field.]
“It’s the soil.”
Elric thought for a moment and then came to a simple conclusion.
“I think it needs purification.”
[Can I ask why you think that way?]
Although he asked a question, there was a satisfied smile on Dongbaek Shin’s lips.
That means it’s the correct answer.
“General Dong will continue to be on the rampage throughout the arrangement, so wouldn’t it be safer to look for a suitable place and solidify your territory rather than wasting time looking for a place to plant seeds?”
For some reason, Otto Hahn decided to limit the period to ‘100 days.’
If you deviate from that, it means the mission will be considered a failure.
So it was necessary to plant the seeds as quickly as possible.
The Camellia God gave no answer to this.
Rather, it was an invitation to do whatever you want.
Since Elric had no intention of asking for her permission anyway, he wanted to first understand the surrounding terrain.
“【Fly up】.”
The moment when Elric was about to float into the air.
Kieeeeek!
Caw! Caw!
As if they had been waiting, flying monsters came out one after another from all over the bushes, trying to catch Elric.
“It’s annoying. 【Swing!】!”
Elric frowned and unleashed his magical powers to the fullest.
The seal of cruelty opened wide, and as the energy released by the seal of the evil star mixed with it, a fierce ‘snowstorm’ swirled in all directions.
Damn it!
All flying monsters caught in the blizzard were instantly frozen and shattered as they fell to the ground.
Those who sensed danger and tried to retreat hastily lost their bearings as frost covered their wings and ended up falling headlong into the trees.
Of course, there were some who went through the snowstorm simply with physical strength and aimed for Elric.
Kiaaaaaa!
Elric saw the monster rushing towards him with its mouth wide open, and twisted its body greatly in the air, raising the ‘small number’ as large as possible and sending it forward.
Gang body art.
White tiger nanah (白虎亂牙).
While the black tiger was a static herbivore that sank heavily, the white tiger orchid boasted a more fierce and dynamic feel.
It was also an herbivore that boasted the greatest destructive power, as it means ‘a white tiger bites with its sharp molars’.
Quaaaang!
The monster that reigned as the king with the most force in this vicinity, the ‘Ikjo Demon’, was frozen like that and completely shattered.
and.
Tsutsutsu-
Following the shadow created by the piece of that guy’s body, Elric’s shadow spread out branches at once, revealing jagged teeth.
Wagjak, wagjak!
The shadow gorged on the monster like a hungry ghost. It was so that I could indulge in the demonic energy within it to my heart’s content.
Hwaaa!
Elric felt that the evil star’s seal was shining brightly and that the dissolution rate of the magic stone was increasing, even if only by a small amount.
I quietly looked down at the black snowy field that seemed completely impossible for planting seeds.
‘First, we need to find a place to plant the seeds.’
The black snow field was made up of endless seas of trees, so it was not easy to understand the terrain.
but.
Tsutsutsu-
“【Watch】.”
Elric greatly activated the seal of the evil star and sharpened the anglerfish. And he spread his cognitive field as wide as possible.
The shadow spread quickly across the ground.
The conditions for the garden he was looking for were very complex.
‘First of all, it has to be an open area with relatively few trees. And it has to be relatively close to water, and it’s easy to monitor monsters… !’
The terrain had to be easy to defend against when monsters appeared.
Soil quality is also important, so it is relatively less polluted by magic energy and the soil strength remains good.
It was a very complicated condition, but as Elric, who had to spend 100 days in this time zone, he had no choice but to consider the conditions in detail.
However, since there is a limit to the distance that can be detected by the anglerfish, Elric had to wander around the sea of water.
Meanwhile, it was difficult to concentrate as the monsters were constantly rushing at me.
[This place is like that. It is a place where it is difficult for people to survive. It’s quite annoying and there are a lot of things that are cumbersome.]
Before we knew it, the camellia god was sitting on Elric’s shoulder, enjoying the refreshing breeze.
This way, I could see the monsters exploding in real time, so my eyes didn’t get bored.

“But there must be a good place.”
[I didn’t say there wasn’t one. It’s not easy to find it.]
“no. “I have a rough idea of a place.”
[Hoo? Where do you mean?]
The camellia god looked up at Elric with curiosity.
How long has it been since you entered this world of images and you’ve already been looking for a place like that?
“There is an antromorph, right?”
[Oh hoho! I see. but. In reality, it is said that with the decline of the Tiger family, the city’s momentum sank a lot, but it was originally the center and regeneration area of a large federation called the Beast Union.]
The camellia god stroked his chin with his hand and then tilted his head.
[In this era, the city of Antromov had not yet been established. but… Even though this place is only 1,000 days old, it is still spacious. And the topography of 400 years ago and the real world will be very different. How are you going to find it?]
“It’s not as difficult as you think.”
[hmm?]
“Things like high canyons and hills don’t change much. “If you set those places as landmarks and estimate the location and distance.”
The moment Elric passed through an area of the sea of water, a wide plain appeared with the canyon at its back.
A place where trees do not grow that much and the odor is relatively low.
This was the place where Antromorph was.
“Because that’s how it appears.”
[Oh hoho! You do such ridiculous things so casually. This is indeed a smart Mervinger-like decision.]
The camellia god shook his head.
It’s easy, but there’s no way it’s easy to find the place you want in a place with no proper roads.
This is only possible if you have deep memories of the Antromorph’s surroundings.
This meant that Elric’s observation skills and instantaneous memory were at an absurd level.
Elric didn’t say anything about it, just smiled quietly and activated the magic again.
“【Stir up】, 【Swing again.】”
Elric unleashed a series of blizzards over a fairly wide area.
Every monster that was detected as a ghost was driven out or killed, and all the rest were pushed aside, leaving only the large trees on the outskirts to be used for defense.
Kyaaa!
Since they have been living in the black snow fields for a long time, they are quite strong and it was not easy to root them out.
Blah blah blah!
Tsutsutsu-
After freezing it with the seal of cruelty and then whipping it several times with the shadow whip created with the seal of the evil star, the work speed quickly increased.
However, the trees cut down at this time were not thrown away carelessly, but were cut to a certain size and neatly gathered to one side.
[What are you trying to do by piling it up like that?]
“I’m thinking of using it as a fence. “Originally, I was planning to build a castle wall, but I needed something to use it for room until then, and later I could use it as firewood.”
[You don’t waste resources carelessly.]
“You must have worked so hard on the first arrangement.”
[but. Originally, Otto Han, the author had strong perverted tendencies, didn’t he?]
“I agree.”
Even though the God of Elric and Camellia knew that Otto Han would be watching them somewhere, they didn’t care at all and gossiped about him.
After creating a garden suitable for planting seeds, I roughly estimated the area and moved the shadow again.
“【Swallow】.”
For seeds to take root properly, there must be no gravel or rock underground.
Elric pushed the shadow deep into the ground, grinding the soil very finely, and even eating up the demonic energy that had seeped into it.
gulp.
gulp.
The place where the shadow passed quickly like that.
[oh.]
A garden so beautiful that even the camellia god’s eyes would sparkle appeared.
The magic disappeared completely, leaving the soil a light brown color overall.
It was still a bit dry, but that could be done by drawing water from the nearby river.
“If this is enough, planting trees will be okay, right?”
[This is probably not good enough, is it?]
Elric nodded and while the shadow was leveling the ground, he erected the fence he had made in advance around the garden without any gaps.
Rune formulas were intricately engraved on the surface of the wooden tablet.
“We have also planted an exorcist, so it will continue to ward off demonic energy erosion.”
And finally.
Elric planted the seeds in the exact center of the garden.
* * *
Elric poured enough water from the stream, which he had purified several times, into the garden and cleaned up the surrounding area again in preparation for monsters that might come at any time.
They tied together the trees that had been piled up on one side to make a fence, and as if that wasn’t enough, they also piled up bricks made using the seal of cruelty.
Sluggish, steady!
[Plaster… ? No, where on earth did you learn such skills?]
“Ever since I was young, I haven’t tried anything to earn money to study.”
My sister told me not to worry about unnecessary things and to focus on my studies, but is that easier said than done?
The God of Camellia had an expression of disbelief.
[…] Are you saying Mervinger fell that far?]
“That’s right. Just because your grandfather is a hero doesn’t mean your family becomes heroes, right? “I was lucky that I didn’t get hit in the back of the head.”
Elric grunted as he laid the last brick.
“after! “It’s done.”
[Ohh!]
The camellia god burst out laughing as if he was shocked.
When I first heard that I was going to build a ‘fortress’, I expected something small that would only surround the garden.
Elric had piled up the entire open area with ice bricks!
Of course, there wasn’t that much time, so the height was only at the level of a person’s waist, but even with that, it was clear that most monsters would be blocked from accessing it.
That’s all.
The magic circles carved into every crevice inside the castle wall were designed to interlock and rotate in an elaborate form.
Traps were installed to increase the durability of the castle walls and to trap intruders together so they could be bombarded with magic.
[That form must be a dragon formula… When did you learn that? It’s definitely something that hasn’t been passed down to humans, right?]
“I have explored the dragon’s nest.”
[aha! It seems like he studied on his own there. It seems like he was a kind-hearted dragon. We even designed a learning device for speakers who are facing difficulties. So how much did you study? 5 years? 6 years? At this point, it seems like it’s been about 10 years, but looking at the age, it doesn’t seem like that.]
“no. “It wasn’t that long.”
[hmm? Ah, indeed. The Mervingers are a strange people. They were a group of eccentrics who were classified as ‘geniuses’, both by human standards and by our standards. So it was about a year?]
“no. “It was only for one day?”
[…] !]
The camellia god opened his mouth wide.
A formula of this size requires a great deal of understanding.
But you achieved this much in just one day?
[…] Um, uh, um. Mervinger did something absolutely ridiculous.]
The camellia god burst out laughing.
[That’s why I’m more attracted to it. Maybe it would be good?]
On the contrary, desire dripped from the gaze of Elric.
If Elric had known that he had been awake in the dragon’s nest for exactly half a day, he might have kidnapped her right away.
Whether you are aware of such a crisis(?) or not.
“after! “It’s over now.”
Elric lightly shook off the dust from his hands and looked at the garden he had spent a day creating with a proud face.
Wooden fences, stone walls, and even fine soil.
Isn’t this level of perfection?
[It seems very plausible.]
“no way. This is perfect. Now I think I just need to build a place to stay next to the garden for a while.”
[For your information, this woman covers her bed very much. She can’t close her eyes without a bed, and when she wakes up, there must be warm tea by her bedside to clear her head. The temperature was about 50 to 60 degrees, which suited me best.]
“… I will refer to it. ah. by the way.”
Elric laughed bitterly, then something suddenly occurred to him, so he took out the slate he had kept in his arms.
“Why has there been no response to this so far?”
The day is almost over, and so far nothing has changed.
[Isn’t there anything more difficult than understanding the true intentions of a pervert?]
“Even though you are a guide, don’t you know anything?”
[Didn’t I tell you? They say they can’t give you any advice other than trees. And in fact, she is bound here by a private contract between her and him, so there are many more facts that she does not know. Is it easy to give hints if too much information is revealed?]
“You’re being too vague when you say you don’t know much.”
[joy! The word this woman hates most in the world is incompetence.]
Elric could only shake his head as he now seemed to have a general idea of what the Camellia God’s personality was like.
“You definitely said it was something like a status board. “Do you think it needs to sprout for it to work properly?”
[For that, you will need compost.]
“Is there anything in the black snowfield that the camellia tree might like?”
[Yes. of course. It’s a bit difficult to make… !]
It was at that time that the God of Camellia was about to say something.
Suddenly, the stone slab trembled and a colorful halo of light burst from its surface.
As if something was finally coming out, the gaze of Elric and the Camellia God automatically turned to the stone tablet.
The halo of light on the stone slab began to distort and change into the shape of letters.
The first thing written was as follows:
[You have failed the mission.]
[It rewinds to day 0.]
“… ?”
[…] ?]
Wizard who swallowed talent
