Miniature Garden Chemister

I took a breath and unconsciously curled my body a little.

Ahead, something dangerous… is there…?

Ikuru stopped me and said, "He's here."

What I've seen in these woods are "hard wolves” and chickens and rabbits. But to ask how Ickle is… there is probably a strong demon.

"Master Hinami..." Snow Rabbit. "Come here quietly."

"Huh...? Aren't you a scary demon?

"Oh... no. It's a rare, lovely bunny."

Hey, what...!?

Ickle's words that betrayed my expectations in a good way. I'll be right there, slowly heading to the side of Ickle. In anticipation of my coming next door, Ickle pointed to one spot. It was there, hiding among the trees.

There was a white rabbit.

"Cute...!

"You've never tried it before? He is a demon that lives only in the southern part of the continent (Sulliton). It's a rare snow bunny. I only get sightings about once every few years."

Oh, my God! Rare cute bunny!

Once every few years...!? Does that mean you're very lucky to see me today? She's cute... I'd love to pretend too...! I don't know if I can touch it, if I go near it, I'll run away?

I twitch a little further into the snow rabbit. Please don't run away...!

"You're running so fast, you'll get away with it if they find out."

"What! So you can't stroke me...?

"... I can't"

Is it the one that promises to make a quick escape for a rare child...? That means I wonder if it would be better to watch here without going any further. I want to stroke you, but I can't help all this. Because there's no way I can catch up. Oh... you wanted to stroke me. I give up because I have no choice, but at least I'll send you a hot glance and just deliver my thoughts.

No, no, no.

I don't think you saw Ichiru looking at me with a smiley face! 'Cause she's cute! I can't even look at this cancer.

"I'd like to capture you, but I'm blind... and I can't do it."

"Oh, never mind! Well, she's cute... but it's pathetic to catch her."

"... well. Master Hinami was so sweet."

"Nothing like that..."

But that's right.

I wish I could be calm in this other world (Lettysreel).

Save a lot of points for God, make healing pills (potions)... it would be fun to open a store or something!

"…… such an idiot!

"What?"

My thoughts were flying a little, but I was brought back to reality with Ickle's surprised voice.

If you look at what's going on, what a snow rabbit rushing towards me!

"Huh!? What, what do you mean!? Is it something aggressive?

"No... the snow rabbit shouldn't carry out an attack... for now, Master Hinami is behind me!

"Ugh, yeah!

If we hurried and hid behind the icle, the snow rabbit that was supposed to have stormed in slowed down and stopped the storm. Instead, he slowly walked over and rubbed it against my leg.

This...! What do you mean? Is it convenient for me to interpret you as liking me? It's good, isn't it?

Squeeze gently and reach for the snow rabbit. Is it big enough to fit my hands perfectly? I wondered if the hair was growing and the appearance was covered in fluffy white. The snow rabbit I gently touched was very cold, as its name suggests. White, cold, fluffy, cotton-like hair? snow rabbit.

"Lovely. Uh-oh!"

"I mean, I can't believe the snow rabbit came by... I've never heard of it."

A slightly frightened ickle, but seriously looking at the snow rabbit I held up. Hehe, you're a cute snow bunny! You're going to see no relationship between men and women!

Or what am I supposed to do with this kid? Should I just keep returning it to the woods...?

Or.

"Hey, Snow Rabbit. Come to my house… come?

"Mi!!

"Ooh! Then Snow Rabbit is family from today on!

"Mi no!"

"No, no, no... that's stupid"

"Here! Why don't you stroke Ickle, too?

I'm so glad the snow rabbit responded well to my query. And Ickle is very surprised...! That's right, I only see it once every few years, but I can't believe I miss it even more... maybe it's unprecedented. I wonder what... me, is it compatible with this world?

Is that because Hard Wolf attacked you or not? Let's go.

"Wow! It's really cold...!

"Mi ~"

Ikuru also softly touches the snow rabbit and is surprised by its cold. I mean, you're more obsessed with snow rabbits than I am, aren't you, Mr. Ickle?

"Let's head home for now…"

Were you embarrassed that you caressed him accidentally, pah, let go of your hand and Ikuru holds Mo's reins in his hand. I wish I could stroke you more. Ickle, who turned his face a little red and turned it against him, thought he was the most human compared to the one he'd ever had, which was almost faceless.

"Yeah! In the meantime, go to the Lost Forest!

◇ ◇ ◇

"That, is this a lost forest already?

"Er... from that big tree over there, it's a lost forest."

"……… Ikuru. You familiar with this?

"My attribute is“ wind. "Signs and all that are sensitive. You know, the air flow... that's how I can judge you."

"Ooh! That's amazing!

For me to live in a lost forest, I wonder if Ichiru is to blame all the way!

I've been in the woods for less than an hour...? We met a snow rabbit along the way and were able to get to the border between the Forest and the Lost Forest safely while taking a few breaks.

I wondered if there would be more trees as I walked, and not so many more, including grass trees… remain a bright forest. Sure, as much as I thought even I wasn't a beginner that they just said it was for beginners. This forest was clear and beautiful.

A few Hard Wolves came out on the road, but Ickle somehow knocked them down. Wow. And unfortunately, I couldn't find any novel herbivores.

"Well... from here on, I don't know the way either, do I?

"Hmmm... maybe there should be a house just a short walk away"

"It's too outrageous..."

Jesus Christ, Ickle exhales, and still advances my legs without complaining.

And one step, the anomaly occurred as Ickle crossed the boundaries of the lost forest.

"Ickle!?

"Huh...!?

Ikuru's body glowed in a pale green.

The glittering green light eventually disappeared as if sucked into the icle… losing light.

I rush over and see if there's anything unusual.

"No... my body is fine. It's just... my fingers are a little hot."

"Yubi......?

Saying so, Ickle showed me his left hand.

"What is this..."

"So. cursed slave print, right?"

A cursed slave print tied by the magic of me and Ickle glowed in a pale green… glittering. Even if I'm far away, I'm falling in love with that light, which is so beautiful that I can clearly see it… what should I do?

"I've never heard of such symptoms..."

"Yeah yeah! Could it be that I failed my contract?

"No, that's not true... because this tattoo is strongly connected to my husband, Hinami-san... if there is anything at all, the cause is Hinami-san."

"Yeah, well... I don't know that much about cursed slave prints, do I?

Even if it's my fault, I have no idea. As far as I can think of, the demon props that made the contract were in bad shape and failed… so much so.

"A cursed slave print is a“ bond ”that connects your husband to a cursed slave. While you're wearing these marks, you're under the influence of your husband. Well, most of the time I don't take it. For example... right. Suppose my husband had mastered a special skill… [Increased Magic]. Skilled masters naturally have more magic. And the contracted spell slaves also benefit from increased magic through spell slave prints… increasing magic power. As for the amount of increase, it depends on the ability to suck the slave print. One main line is almost impossible. But if it's an awesome curse slave print like me and Hinami-san... I can't predict how much, but I'm sure it will be greatly influenced."

"When I say... the glowing phenomenon of icru... you mean because of my skills?

"Probably."

"Even if my skills aren't activated, for example?

"Hmm... there are so many basic 1 main lines of cursed slave prints that I don't have many real examples. I'm sorry, but I don't get it."

Mm-hmm?

Because of the skills I have...? Consider it irrelevant that it is used or not. But there are only three skills I possess: God's Box Garden, Light Madness (Light Rhapsodia), and Angel Singing (Sanctuary).

"God's Box Garden" is an absolute safety zone constantly activated… the creation of a sanctuary.

Light Madness (Light Rhapsodia) is a defensive skill.

When it comes to "Angel Singing (Sanctuary)," it is a blend of growth promotion and relaxation.

Doesn't look like it's affecting Ickle, does it? But if it's possible, is it the constant activation of God's Box Garden?

"Dear Hinami, apparently this... is snapped in the other direction"

"Eh?"

Pulled over there...? Ikuru is stretching his arm to the lost forest side. That the cursed slave print points in the direction... that is...?

"Maybe... it shows where the sanctuary is!?

"Sanctuary?"

Yeah, I'm sure you do!

Wow, wow!

"Ickle! Let's go in that direction!

"In this direction... what do you have?

"Of course, it's my house!

Quick, quick, pull Ickle's arm and I'll go down the Lost Forest. The scenery street place I've always seen from home must be ahead of the curse slave print on Ickle! "Such an idiot..." Bad for squealing Ickle, but this is telling me that my suspicion is for sure.

"Master Hinami is surprisingly strong."

"... do you?

"That's true. But I think that's a good idea, right? That's, uh,“ pale grass, "isn't it?

"What?"

Forward diagonal right front, the first thing Ikuru pointed out was the deep blue grass. Pale grass used as the last ingredient for deep-sea restorative medicine (Marine Potion).

That herb, short tall, was only wearing a few large circular leaves. It's a small herb, but it's so deep colored that it doesn't bother me, it takes my eyes off me. I wonder why I didn't notice that color, which is deeper than the other trees.

"That, I'll take it home from the roots!

"You're a pharmacist. I'll pick it now."

"Thanks!"

While Ikuru was digging up the pale grass, I looked around a little and looked for any other pale grass growing. Of course, it's only near field because it's dangerous.

But... I don't see it at all.

"I've picked it, Master Hinami. Nevertheless, it is rare that there is such a pale grass in such a shallow forest when it comes to such a lost forest"

"What! Really?

"Yeah. Usually, it grows a little deeper in the woods."

"That's right... you'll learn"

"If you're a pharmacist, remember that."

Seeing the face of several, frightened equals. But I didn't miss the fact that my frightened face has gradually changed from a faceless tick.

I don't know, it's just a minor change... but I'm so happy with that.

"Hey, it looks like it's time to get close to your destination. The spell slave print is kind of warm."

"Really? Well, I'm sure you'll be home soon!

Looking forward are slightly larger trees and bushes. Can you see the house if you get out of that one? I occasionally, still leap my lighter legs through the trees softly and through the bushes.

Yeah. Definitely, it's my house!

"Ickle! This is my house!

"Huh...! Really, there was a house in the lost forest..."

"You didn't believe me!?

"No, that's not what I meant. It wasn't realistic."

"Mi no!"

If I step into the house, the snow rabbit will happily jump off me and run around the garden. What a child...! It's too cute...!

That's right! I need to even think of a name...!! Because it's a snow rabbit, Snow. No, no, you can't have such a cheap name! Let's talk to Ickle and decide. Yeah, I like that!

"This... no way, herbs?

Oops, Dejav...?

Ickle also stepped into the garden and is looking at it for a moment. And the words of surprise that were still heard were spinned from his mouth.

At a time like this, that's it, a leading must-win.

"Yeah. I can grow herbs."

"…… Wow, I've never seen it before"

"Eh heh. Because a pharmacist is like the only gain.... but don't tell me, okay?

"Of course. If this could get anywhere... it would be a fuss all over the world."

Ickle apparently left me to wonder if my first must-win operation had asked. Besides, Shea and Mr. Alfred didn't tell anyone, including Mr. Clef, in fear of me either. He told me, too, that it was dangerous, so I should never be distracted.

So far, all I know are four people: Shea, Kilt, Mr. Alfred, and Ickle. There probably won't be any more... and yeah, it looks fine.

"In the meantime, why don't we go inside and make some tea? I'll get you some delicious fruit."

"Right… but I'll make the tea."

"Eh heh, thanks"

In the meantime, it's a relief to be able to come back safely.
