Weed Reincarnation ~ Carefully Raised in the Elf Village ~
(TL: This chapter was made possible by our patron Krazey and honestly it was to be divided into parts as it was too big (Technically this chapter is made up of 2 chapters) but I didn't want to do that to Sponsored Chapters so enjoy )
More than a month has passed since I met the elder.
From that day on, The elder appeared during my magic training time, and under his guidance, I worked hard every day to learn some non-attribute magic, including "telepathy." ..
The training method of non-attribute magic is consistently simple and basically aims to improve the manipulative power of magical power.
The method of activating "telepathy" is to put one's own will and words on magical power and deliver it to the target-but even this simple in words was difficult to actually do.
Using the magical power that he releases as a medium, he intends to propagate it, but it took nearly three weeks to get that feeling.
Even so, it seems that the learning time for "telepathy" is rather short.
Even if an elf is good at magic and is good at handling magical power, "telepathy" belongs to the category of advanced technology, and few people can handle it.
For that reason, Sefie uses it as a matter of course, but according to the elders, Sefie is really a genius when it comes to magical talent.
Well, I can understand it somehow.
After all, Sefi's "work", which is a daily routine, is a scale that is impossible for an ordinary elf. Revitalization of trees in the Elven Village and restoration of the entire thorn wall. It was not the amount of work I could do alone. In the first place, if it is not Sephi, the magical power is insufficient.
In addition, even though it is a botanical magic that is good at races, it naturally exercises magic and does not fail.
This will be amazing in the middle.
But is it something that young children do?
I didn't say anything because Sefie himself enjoyed doing them, but I still asked the elder while practising magic.
-Isn't the burden on Sefi heavy? I don't think it's the amount of work left to the little girl.
I understand that the elves and other elves in the village take good care of Sefie. That's why I don't think the elves will imitate the overuse of Sephi.
So I know the answer.
It wasn't the elves asking, but Sefie was doing it voluntarily.
"It's not worth it. If we could do that, we wouldn't bother the princess. "
――Why is Sefi doing such a thing?
So the question is why Sefi does "work".
The trees in the elf village are still big enough, and you don't have to look around the thorn walls every day. Still, Sefi walks around the village and tries to strengthen the defence of the village.
"The princess is trying to protect us."
What exactly is it from?
To me who tried to ask
"Nu, spirits, the operation of magical power is becoming sweeter."
I was told to stray and couldn't hear that day.
Well, despite that, I learned the magic of "telepathy" safely, and it's been about a week since then.
By the way, the reward for the elders for magical instruction was two fruits a day.
morning.
Wake up by the window as usual.
After confirming Sefie's peaceful sleeping face, he trains his daily magical power while performing photosynthesis.
It is a practice to manipulate the magical power so that it goes around the whole body, move it so that it concentrates in one place, or release it to the outside of the body and then do not diffuse it, but keep it in a spherical shape.
Although it is a discipline to master the precise operation of magical power required for non-attribute magic, it is not wasted in other magic. If the magic control is improved, all magic can be activated more efficiently.
The elder said it was a difficult discipline to continue because it had no visible and remarkable results and it was difficult to be aware of growth.
However, perhaps because I became a plant, I'm feeling a lot longer now.
I didn't feel any pain unexpectedly even after repeated training.
In the meantime, it was time for Maple to come.
"Good morning, Maple"
I gave a morning greeting to her who came into the house with a "telepathy".
Telepathy is a direct communication of intentions, so even if you don't master Elvish, you can communicate without problems. If not, I wouldn't be able to talk to Sefi.
"Good morning, spirit-san. It’s early today, isn’t it? ”
Maple smiled and responded with telepathy.
She jumped up and was surprised the day she first spoke with telepathy, but now she's used to it. A little disappointing.
By the way, Maple has a good magical skills so that she can be ranked high in the village, and she seems to have been able to use telepathy without any problems.
Even so, I didn't talk to me in a telepathic way because, unlike Sefie and the elders, I couldn't hear my voice, and I couldn't understand my intentions even with facial expressions and gestures, so I gave up communicating from the beginning. Or something like that.
Well, if this is human beings, it may be possible to communicate with body language even if they do not understand the language, but it is certainly too difficult to talk with weeds in body language.
And one more thing, it doesn't matter, Maple, the elf, and the elves in the village call me "spirit."
I knew my name was "Yug" and I said I could call it by name, but they didn't seem to change the name.
Do they respect me as a spirit, or do they have a distance in your heart ... I don't have the courage to hear the truth.
Well, that's why only Sefie calls me "Yug".
"Good morning, Yug"
"Oh, good morning, Sefie"
Sefie awakened by Maple gives a morning greeting.
Then, wash her face and change clothes as usual, and it's time for Sefi's "work."
Apply "revitalization" plant magic to the trees in the village. Oh, that's "Ouen". Then, check around the thorn wall that surrounds the village, fix the places that need repair, and finally activate the whole.
I have asked Sefi what kind of effect these actions have.
The trees in the elf village are still big enough and full of vitality. The same is true for the thorn wall. What is the reason for doing it every day?
"The bad guys won't come"
Sefie explained briefly, but when asked why this was the case,
"Choro was there because everyone was afraid of Sefie!
Everyone is afraid of the majesty of Sefi ...?
Majesty ...?
I observed Sefie with a doy face and focused on seeing what seemed to be majestic, but I couldn't feel anything like that in the fragments. It only looks like a little stupid little girl.
That Jijii, I don't think I taught you something appropriate because the explanation is troublesome.
The possibility is great.
Well, anyway.
After finishing Sefi's "work" as usual, it's lunch and then a nap.
When I woke up, I would go to the village square, and Sefi would normally play with the children of the village in a play called training, but this day was different.
No, should I say it's different these days?
There was a non-elf figure in the square.
Human figure-although it is not a person. Since it is a humanoid with two arms and two legs, a head and a torso, it will look like a human figure from a distance.
But it is not the flesh, the bones, or the blood that shapes it.
It was a doll made of plants, with woody stems as the skeleton and vines that crawl all over the body as muscles.
This month, I wasn't just training telepathy.
I was experimenting with various things to see if I could do something with the plant magic that I was fit for.
I was just a plant myself, and I was soon able to learn as much plant magic as magical power allowed. It didn't take long to learn like a telepathy, and it was so successful just by receiving an explanation.
However, many plant magics were useless to me.
It accelerates the growth of plants, rejuvenates them, and produces fruits.
I couldn't think of any reason to do so for plants other than me, and for myself, it's much more efficient to use the skill.
So I wondered if I could do something with both skill and plant magic.
Among the plant magic, the magic that seems to be meaningful for me was the magic of "Create Plant Golem".
This is the magic of creating golems from plants, but the magical golems were like a mass of flaws. When the magical power given is exhausted, it collapses, and it does not move unless ordered one by one. In addition, since it is a pseudo-life created by magic, it is mainly used for things such as being a little stupid, carrying heavy luggage, or making it rampage with all its might.
According to the elders, it's not just magic, but if it's a golem created as a semi-magic tool, that's not the case, but I don't have the skills or knowledge to make such a thing.
Then, instead, why not make it a proper life instead of a pseudo?
First of all, I produced fruits by "seed generation".
Fruits that store a lot of vitality and magic without amplifying the sweetness or adding special effects.
It looks like an apple, and this time the plant magic "Grow Plant" is applied.
Naturally, the seeds sprout and grow, and weeds grow in a blink of an eye.
...... No, I think it's probably a walking weed.
I imagined it wouldn't be an apple tree. It's within expectations.
anyway.
In this way, a stock of walking weed- a child (?) That could be called my alter ego was born.
It's not connected to consciousness, it's a completely separate body, but it's probably certain.
He continued to cast the magic of the Grow Plant on this walking weed many times. After all, this is because it is too small for a golem body as it is.
Result-withered.
Apparently, if you grow it rapidly, it will die due to a lack of nutrition.
I didn't have to experiment myself.
I took advantage of this failure and decided to use the Grow Plant many times overtime for the next walking weed.
Result-I ran away.
I was supposed to spend a little bit on the glowing plant every day, but the next day the walking weed I created was gone somewhere.
That's right. Because they work, right? No, me too.
Was it a mistake to leave it in the open space? That said, it would be a hassle to bring them back to Sefie's house, and it would be a burden for Sefie to bring them with him. The inside of the house gets smaller and it gets in the way.
I thought I'd put it in a cage so that I wouldn't run away, but before that, I had tried it with no use.
I told the third walking weed, "Don't move from here," as a telepathy.
I didn't expect to obey the order. Even though I ordered it as a telepathy in the first place, are you conscious of ordinary walking weeds? Do you follow my orders, if any?
Well, I was half-convinced that it was a weed-like creature and wasted.
Next day.
When I went to the square, Walking Weed was in the same place as yesterday.
I stayed in the same place the next day and the next day.
Still, I thought it was awkward, so I ordered various things.
Then, strangely enough, Walking Weed obeyed my words.
However, there are some facts that were discovered during various experiments. If you do not obey the order, it is impossible for the walking weed.
For example, they don't seem to know the surroundings visually or audibly as I do. What I feel is probably light and magic. It will follow what you can judge.
For example, "Come to me" is possible. "Go to Sefi" is impossible. Because I can't tell Sefie.
Of course, it is impossible to give an order such as "Come around the elf village".
"Use'Energy Drain'" or "Use'Seed Generation'" was possible, and "Make an apple with'Seed Generation'" was impossible. Probably because I don't know apples.
For the time being, it turned out that he would obey this order.
By the way, I asked Sephi and the elders to tell me a telepathy, but they didn't seem to obey it. After all, it seems that I am judged to be a superior.
However, there are not many things that can be ordered, and it is not convenient.
Still, obeying orders seems to be conscious, regardless of whether or not there is an ego. What's more, even if you can't do it at first, you can do it if you teach it properly and carefully. Apparently, he has learning ability.
You can use your skills, and you're smarter and more capable than a normal golem.
It was an unexpected discovery, but it's not a bad thing.
I kept the glowing plant on the walking weed to continue the experiment.
Over the course of a few days, he grew up to the size of an adult elf. It looked better to call it a young tree than a weed, but judging from the amount of magical power it feels, the level seems to be lower than mine.
When I grew up to this point, I cast the magic of "Create Plant Golem" using this walking weed as a body.
The walking weed transforms with a squeaking noise, becoming a poor-looking humanoid.
If you were dead as a walking weed when you became a golem, you wouldn't be able to use your unique skills. I ordered him to use "seed generation" to make sure, and the skill was activated without any problems. For some reason, grass seeds that looked like cats were produced.
It was the moment when a strange existence that was both a golem and a walking weed was born.
Normally, it seems that the magic of Create Golem cannot be applied to living creatures, so I asked Sefie and the Elder to try another walking weed, but it did not become a golem either.
This seems to be possible because I cast the magic of Create Golem on the walking weed I created.
I don't know why.
The elder said that creatures usually resist the magic of Create Golems, but I expected that they would have obeyed without resistance because of my superior magic.
By the way, at first, it was a poor-looking golem with only woody stems and leaves, but later I cut out the ivy growing in the village and added it as a material for the golem, it looks like a human being. It seems that the appearance has changed and the power has improved.
The resulting plant golem.
The name is Go.
It is usually resident in the open space, and part of its legs are transformed into roots to dive into the ground, and leaves throughout the body perform "photosynthesis" to restore vitality and magical power.
There is a slight cavity in its abdomen, which contains about three potato-like rhizomes I made. In an emergency, I have ordered "Energy Drain" to replace the recovery medicine, so unless there is a great deal of trouble, it should not collapse due to lack of magical power.
For the time being, it was a golem that could be self-sufficient in energy.
Maybe I'll grow or level up.
About a week before Go was born, Sefi and the elder helped me a lot, as I explained earlier.
That's why Sefie also seemed to be attached to Go.
"How will you do today?"
I'm happily muttering such a thing in front of Go standing in the open space, but it's already completed, right?
"I want to get rid of it"
"No, metal is impossible. It's about a wooden sword, right? 』\
"Murika ... Then, instead, I want to wipe the lips from my lips. "
"The moment you blow the fire, Go will burn too."
The elder also came when we were talking with each other.
"Huhhhhh, what are you going to do today? 』\
"Ah, choro. I'm talking about Go-kun right now. "
"I see, then"
Said the elder, nodding to Sefi's words, and showing him the thing he held in his left hand.
"There is a wooden sword carved from the core of Elder Trent right here, so why don't you combine it with Go's right hand? 』\
"That's good! As expected! 』\
"No, why do you have such a thing?"
"Hohohoho, no, I'm shy when the princess praises me."
It seems that the elders are also enjoying it for some reason, but Elder Trent is ... probably a very strong guy by name, isn't he? Is it okay to use such a material for such a thing? Isn't it precious?
Or rather, isn't this old man the most sultry?
"If possible, it would be nice to store it in your arm so that you can pull out your sword in an emergency."
"That might be cool ..."
Sefie sparkles his eyes on the elder's idea.
"That's why I'll ask the spirits."
"No, it's okay, but ..."
When I let Go hold a playful thing called an Elder Trent wooden sword, I use plant magic to transform the part of the brim that seems to get in the way and remove it, and process it into a straight sword without a brim. I also adjusted the length so that it fits in Go's forearm, but since Go's arm is long in the first place, I didn't have to pack it too much.
Then use the magic of Create Plant Golem, imagining that you can store a wooden sword in your right arm.
The wooden sword and Go's right arm are integrated, and the wooden sword is stowed in the right arm.
After that, the right arm remained the same as before for the purpose I saw.
"Go, give me a little wooden sword"
I say, Go sticks his right arm forward--,
"Oh! very!
"This is good, isn't it?"
A wooden sword pops out of his right arm, and Go holds the handle.
The two who saw the figure cheered.
And the elder suggests nothing.
"Then, do you want to fight the monsters for a moment?
Hey, Jijii.
"It looks like Go-kun is hitting!
Sefie sparkled his eyes and agreed, and we decided to go to Go-kun's performance test and fight.
"Yug" is what some translators translate whatever Japanese word they use for the 'Ygg' in 'Yggdrasil'
