Chapter 325 - Chapter 299 Like After the Festival Has Passed
I took out the tortillas I had prepared, made from [Regucorn] (corn) flour, salt, and olive oil.
[HIRARI] “Huh? What’s that?”
[JOHNTO] “Gyoza skin?”
[MINCEL] “Crêpe?”
[MASTER CHEF] “Oh, you’re making something interesting~”
etcetc...
“These are tortillas. I got [Regucorn] from Pan and the [Urisk] settlement, so I tried making them.”
“What do they taste like?”
“Faintly sweet, I guess? It’s not meant to be the main dish, but rather used like a crêpe.”
I scooped some soy milk ice cream from a jar I took out of my inventory and placed it on top. I sprinkled some roasted and crushed [Glycine] (soybeans) over it, drizzled blue syrup, and then rolled it up.
“Here. One for each of you.”
“~~~♪”
An easy ice cream that can be eaten directly with the tortilla, no spoon needed.
[HIKARUN] “Mini crêpe!”
[DAYTRON] “
[MESSERIN] “Roasted beans instead of nuts is a good idea~”
[NONNONNO] “I want chocolate on it…”
etcetc...
After distributing them to the Fairies, it was Lupi and the others’ turn. I placed [Ranziboa] bacon, [Lycos] (tomato), and thinly sliced [Kyuka] (cucumber) on top, sprinkled a little pepper, and then rolled it up.
“First, Lupi. Here, ahh~”
“Woof~”
Since it was bite-sized, I just put it in her mouth. Leda and Roy also waited their turn.
“I’m envious…”
[KUSHO] “Total food terrorism…”
[PUREE] “Perfect with beer!”
[BLUESHA] “You have to feed the goddess too, right?”
[YUKI] “Is that a taco? Or something?”
etcetc...
I took a bite myself… Delicious. Alright, now that things have settled, I need to talk about that matter.
“Is it a good time?”
“Yes. Shou-kun, you have something to discuss with everyone today, right?”
The comment section erupted in excitement at that intro. Well, I know they’ll probably call it another blunder.
“Um, my [Appraisal] skill reached LvMAX. And a new skill has become available…”
It’s faster to show than to explain. Since it’s a system item, it should be readable on the stream. [Magic Analysis]
“A skill to analyze [Elemental Magic] imbued in [magic tools].
The magic revealed by analysis is limited to magic the user can use.
Prerequisites: Appraisal LvMAX, Elemental Magic LvMAX, Basic Magicology Lv5 or higher.”
[LEGERY] “Amazing! So amazing!”
[DAYTRON] “
[NEWD] “The prerequisites are insane!?”
[MARCY] “Will this even be useful?”
etcetc...
“Honestly, I’m debating whether to take it… Oh, it’s a rare skill, but I have enough SP. However, if I do, I might get the [Pioneer Reward] again?”
[CHARINBOW] “You worry too much!”
[REAPER] “The [Pioneer Reward] is compensation for being a test subject, you know?”
[MATTSUN] “If you worry that much, you can’t play the game!”
[BLEMAL] “You’re providing information, so taking the reward is fine!”
etcetc...
Worry too much… Is that really it? Being a “test subject” also seems to be common knowledge, and many people are probably more concerned about the possibility of someone else having already taken it, meaning no [Pioneer Reward] for me?
“Everyone seems to agree, so why don’t you take it?”
“Okay. Then, I guess I’ll take it.”
I acquired [Magic Analysis], leaving me with 5 SP. Then, I immediately thought of analyzing a [magic tool], so I took out the [Magic Engraving Pen] from my inventory, but I realized I hadn’t explained it yet.
“This is like a magic fountain pen that Argenta-san gave me.”
I find it very useful because it doesn’t need ink and can write on anything, but I have no idea how it works. I showed the [Appraisal] result first.
[Magic Engraving Pen]
“A pen that engraves text using mana. MP consumption varies depending on the hardness of the target.”
The comments section was lively, but for now, I prioritized [Magic Analysis]. …But how do I do it? Just as I thought that, a small window like a tip popped up:
[For Magic Analysis, cover the target with mana.]
I see, but this makes me feel like analyzing a large item will be difficult, or rather, impossible…
“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
“Okay.”
I slowly covered it with mana for a while.
[Magic Analysis complete. Appraisal result has been updated!]
It appeared and was displayed.
[Magic Engraving Pen]
“A pen that engraves text using mana. MP consumption varies depending on the hardness of the target.
Composing magic: Earth Generation, Water Generation, Drying, other unknown.”
[Magic Analysis skill has leveled up!]
[Pioneer of Magic Analysis: Acquired 10 SP!]
[BLUESHA] “
[DAYTRON] “
[ZUNDAMOCHI] “
[SHIMIZURU] “
etcetc...
Whoa, super chats are flying in at a ridiculous rate! “Uh, um, I don’t even know if this will be useful yet…” Unknown magic just shows up as “other unknown.”
[AKUMON] “This will be a game-changer if a pure magic user uses it!”
[PREMAL] “Mion-chan, contact Bell-taso!”
[YONRO] “After analysis, comes creation, right~?”
[MUSHINKO] “It’s an analysis festival for the island’s magic tools!”
etcetc...
Ah, the idea that I might be able to create [magic tools] has a dreamy quality to it. I wonder if that's what lies beyond mastering [Magic Analysis]?
[World Quest has been updated!]
[Existence of demons has been confirmed!]
“Eh?”
Both Mion and I, along with the comment section, were confused by the sudden [World Announcement]. Then a voice from the heavens said,
“Shou-kun, please check the [World Quest].”
“Y-Yeah.”
[World Quest: Necropolis: Part Three “Truth”]
“The ruins found deep in the [Jet Black Forest]. This city, occupied by undead, was the epicenter of a catastrophe caused by an [Ancient Magic Civilization].
The interior of the city, infested with undead, has been purified by those who earned the trust of the [Dragonkin], restoring it to a semblance of its former prosperity.
All that remains is the epicenter of the catastrophe. What awaits at the innermost “Core of Wisdom” is…
Objective: Purify the “Core of Wisdom” in the innermost part of the [Necropolis].
Sub-objective: Exterminate the demons infiltrated in the [Necropolis]. Progress: 0/?”
“Something was added…”
“Shou-kun. It’s almost time, what should we do?”
“Hmm, I’m hearing about demons for the first time too, so I guess I’ll ask Argenta-san about it later?”
I’m also curious about the god Argenta-san vaguely mentioned before, the one whose worship is forbidden…
[Alliance 'Marigold' has exterminated Baron-class Demon Rucoshion!]
