Chapter 11 – What Magic Skills Do Elves Have?
Finally, the lake is complete.
I got Skor to drink some fresh water too.
“…It’s delicious! With this, we don’t have worry about drinking water.”
“Yeah, we don’t have to worry about water for daily use.”
Not only drinking water, but it can also be used for cooking and bathing. This is big. I had no idea water so important. I realized how blessed the environment was in the empire.
Anyway, on to the next step.
Let’s keep making things more and more convenient.
…But before that, I’m hungry.
When my stomach growled, Skor’s stomach growled too, and she pressed her hand against it.
“…I’m hungry.”
“Yeah, so far we’ve only eaten raspberries… I wonder if there are any monsters around.”
“Monsters?”
“Yeah, I was thinking it’d be nice if there were wild boar type. If we could eat meat, we’d be able to satisfy our hunger quite a bit.”
“Come to think of it, I can sense the presence of monsters from the depths of the forest~”
“Skor, do you know how to do that?”
“Yes, to some extent.”
Is it because she’s a Holy Maiden? Well, anyway, it’s in the depths of the forest. It might be a good idea to explore it. I haven’t walked around this uninhabited island yet, and it will be convenient later to know more about it.
“Then, let’s go hunting.”
“I understand. Please leave the healing to me.”
It’s decided.
We’re heading towards the biggest mountain on this uninhabited island. That’s where the forest lies, and it seems that there are many monsters inhabiting it.
After walking a bit from the lake, we enter the dim forest. The cold air brushes against our skin. …I have a bad feeling about this.
“I’ll ask just in case, Skor.”
“Yes, what is it?”
“What can you do other than healing magic?”
“Support… that’s about it.”
“Huh? Wait, you’re an elf and a Holy Maiden, right?! As an elf, you should at least be able to use attack magic, right?”
“……ugh.”
Ugh, oi oi.
Her face is twitching and she’s sweating profusely. Could it be…?
“Hey, Skor. Can you only do healing magic?”
“Uwaaaaaaah!!!”
She suddenly started crying.
“You’re lying, right? Even though you’re an elf!?”
“N-no, it’s not like that… It’s just that I don’t have enough magic power to use them.”
“You can use Heal, but not the others?”
“…yes. I only know ‘Heal’ and four big magic spells: Fire attribute ‘Solar Flare’, Water attribute ‘Maelstrom’, Wind attribute ‘Tempest’, and Earth attribute ‘Earthquake’. But they consume an enormous amount of magic power, so I can’t activate them…”
It seems that she is still too inexperienced and has not yet reached that level. She may need to level up more. I can’t really say anything about others either.
While we were talking, we sensed the presence of a monster from deep within the forest…! Darn it, I was careless.
“――Boohieeee!!”
Darn it. A boar monster charges at us…! What should I do?”
