Chapter 339 - As if the Festival Has Passed
I took out the prepared tortillas, made from Regucorn (corn) flour, salt, and olive oil.
[Hirari] “Eh? What’s that?”
[Jonto] “Gyoza skin?”
[Minsel] “Crêpe?”
[Master Chef] “Oh, you’re making something interesting~”
etc.etc...
“These are tortillas. I got Regucorn from Pan and the Urisks’ settlement, so I tried making these.”
“What do they taste like?”
“Faintly sweet, I guess? It’s not meant to be a main dish, but rather used like a crêpe.”
I scooped soy milk ice cream from a jar I took out of my inventory and placed it on top. I sprinkled some crushed, stir-fried Glycine (soybeans) over it, drizzled blue syrup, then rolled it up.
“Here. One for each of you.”
“~~~♪”
An easy ice cream treat that can be eaten directly with the tortilla, no spoon needed.
[Hikurun] “Mini crêpe!”
[Daytron] “
[Messerin] “Roasted soybeans as nuts, nice~”
[Nonnonno] “I want chocolate on it...”
etc.etc...
After distributing them to the Fairies, I made some for Lupi and the others. I placed Ranziboa bacon, Lycos (tomato), and thinly sliced Kyuka (cucumber) on top, sprinkled a tiny bit of pepper, and then rolled it up.
“First, Lupi. Open wide.”
“Woof~”
Since it was bite-sized, I just put it in her mouth. Leda and Roy, who were patiently waiting their turn, got theirs too.
“I’m so jealous...”
[Kusho] “Food terrorism is too much...”
[Puree] “That would go great with beer!”
[Bluesha] “You have to feed the goddess too, right?”
[Yuki] “Is that a taco? Daje?”
etc.etc...
I took a bite myself... delicious. Now that things have settled, I need to talk about that matter.
“Is it about time?”
“Yes. Today, Shou-kun has something to discuss with everyone, right?”
The comments section erupted at that intro. Well, yeah, I know it’ll probably be called another 'screw-up,' but I’m prepared.
“Um, my [Appraisal] skill reached LvMAX. And there’s a new skill I can acquire...”
It’s faster to show than 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 spells the user can cast.
Prerequisites: Appraisal LvMAX, Elemental Magic LvMAX, Basic Magicology Lv5 or higher.*
[Legendry] “Amazing! So amazing!”
[Daytron] “
[Newd] “The prerequisites are insane?!”
[Marcy] “Will this be useful?”
etc.etc...
“Honestly, I’m debating whether to acquire 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 payment for being a guinea pig, you know?”
[Mattsun] “If you worry that much, you can’t play the game!”
[Bremal] “It’s fine to take the reward for disclosing information!”
etc.etc...
Worry too much... is that really true? Being a guinea pig also seems to be common knowledge, and many people seem to be more worried about not getting the Pioneer Reward because someone else already acquired it.
“Everyone seems to agree, so why don’t you acquire it?”
“Yeah. Well, I’ll try acquiring it then.”
I acquired [Magic Analysis], leaving 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 magical fountain pen that Argenta-san gave me.”
I find it very useful because it writes on anything without needing ink, 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 excited, but for now, I prioritized [Magic Analysis]. ...But how? As I wondered, a small window like a tip appeared.
[For Magic Analysis, cover the target with mana.]
It said. I see, but analyzing something this big feels hard, or rather, impossible...
“Alright, I’ll try it.”
“Yes.”
Slowly covering it with mana for a while.
[Magic Analysis complete. Appraisal results 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.
Composed Magic: Earth Generation, Water Generation, Drying, Other Unknown.*
[Your Magic Analysis skill level has increased!]
[Pioneer of Magic Analysis: Acquired 10 SP!]
[Bluesha] “
[Daytron] “
[Zundamocchi] “
[Shimizu] “
etc.etc...
Whoa, super chats are flying in like crazy, this is no joke!?
“Eh, um, I don’t even know if this will be useful yet...”
Unknown magic spells just show up as 'Other Unknown'.
[Acmon] “This will be powerful if a pure mage uses it!”
[Premal] “Mion-chan, contact Bell-taso!”
[Yonro] “After analysis comes creation, right~?”
[Mushinko] “It’s a magic tool analysis festival on the island!”
etc.etc...
Ah, the idea that magic tools can be created is a dream come true. Does it mean I'll reach that point after mastering Magic Analysis?
[World Quest has been updated!]
[Existence of demons confirmed!]
“Eh?”
Both Mion and I, along with the comments section, were in confusion at the sudden World Announcement. Then a voice from the heavens came,
“Shou-kun, check the World Quest.”
“U-um.”
[World Quest: Necropolis: Part Three "Truth"]
*The ruins found deep in the Jet Black Forest. This city, occupied by the Undead, was the epicenter of a catastrophe caused by an Ancient Magic Civilization.
The city interior, infested with Undead, has been purified by those who gained the trust of the Dragonkin, reaching a state where its former prosperity can be glimpsed.
What awaits in the remaining epicenter? In the innermost 'Core of Wisdom'...?*
Objective: Purify the 'Core of Wisdom' in the innermost part of the Necropolis.
Sub-objective: Exterminate demons infiltrating the Necropolis. Completion: 0/?
“Something’s been added...”
“Shou-kun. It’s almost time, but what will you do?”
“Hmm, I’ve never heard about demons either, so I guess I’ll ask Argenta-san later?”
I’m also curious about the forbidden god Argenta-san vaguely mentioned before...
[Alliance 'Marigold' has subjugated Baron-class Demon Rucoshion!]
