Two as One Princesses

Forest entrance specified in the request. From the Wang capital, it's to the east, so it doesn't look like there's a lot of Forest Wolf.

I just don't have a Forest Wolf-like reaction, though I don't want to count it as a demonic reaction.

If this were all goblins and cobolts, I'd say it would be reckless to assume that it was more than a D-class demon, although I might have been able to do it in D-class as well.

Compared to one day's stampede, it's no big deal at all, so as far as I'm concerned, it's fine. If there's a problem, it's time now.

"It's totally night."

"You've come to relax because you have time."

"Do you want to make it wild around here today?

"Then I'll start a fire."

When I say Nojuku, there is no danger thanks to the junction, so I basically don't prepare either.

If it's a sleeping bag, I think Ciel can sleep well enough, but I don't even have it because it will be luggage as it stands.

Still it doesn't make sense to start a fire, not to avoid animals - demons don't scare fire much -, to prepare meals.

No matter what I say about starting a fire, Syel just uses his magic formations to keep the fire going.

All you have to do is heat it up with water and dried vegetables in a small pan, salt and dried meat appropriately.

At a time like this, if it's also a ingredient of consomme soup, it's going to taste pretty good, but it doesn't exist in this world.

Still, just vegetables and dried meat will give you stock, and when you get used to a gentle taste, you can eat that without complaining.

Serve the soup you made and the hard bread and it will be finished for dinner today.

"That's all you can eat.

I wonder why the food in that mansion didn't taste that good?

'Didn't you dare to make it tasteless already?

"It's hard work, isn't it?"

When Ciel carries the soup into his mouth, naturally I will feel its flavour too.

Dinner never tastes good today. When they put it out in the previous life, they'd come back with ratings that say it's pretty much bad. Still, in this world it becomes something you can eat normally.

The delicious ones are quite a world of inequality, even though they taste as good as the ones I've had in my previous life.

"By the way, is the demon all right?

'You'll be fine when you get into the woods. Not as good as a stampede, though.'

"How about safety?

"It doesn't look like there's more than class B, so there won't be any problem."

Unlike people, demons are easy to measure strength.

Because the stronger the thing people say, the stronger the magic, and they don't even try to hide it.

"Then don't worry."

"I'll take care of it"

"Please."

Ciel laughed. That said, he drank the soup all at once.

◇

In the morning, the weather is clear. Ciel when she sleeps outside can act in vain because she wakes up with the sunrise.

What would you normally do with this, if it were rain? The tent will have it, so will you be spending the day in the tent or will you act wet?

In our case, the junction replaces the rain gear, so we don't get wet and cut off our strength. However, because of poor vision and scaffolding, it's really convenient to connect, although it doesn't have any effect at all. I guess my use is just unusual because I've never seen anyone else use it like this.

Though scheduled for today, I'd like to look for some medicinal herbs in the morning, have lunch, and then be able to return to the King's Capital soon.

"Good luck then"

"This is the time to find them."

Ciel enters the woods in a temper.

I just want to get back soon, but that doesn't make it for Ciel that I'm done finding him.

Although many herbs possess magic, the amount is trace, so looking for them is great for building magic detection abilities.

My role in the woods is to tell them that demons are coming.

When I tell him, Ciel snaps his neck with a blow.

What a vain world, only a task.

Well, this herb collection, but ignoring demons is less challenging.

Anyway, there are herbaceous things all over the place. Apparently it wasn't Dada who was left alone enough to increase the number of demons and increase the rank of requests. Rather, it's over there, so looking for what you're looking for can be cumbersome.

I am so focused on demons that I only recognize them as blurry and "it's around there". I can look into it, but if I do, I'll stick with Ciel and give him a hint.

And Ciel pisses me off if I don't get into practice.

"If we take everything around here, we're going to be able to accomplish the request, right?

'Right. But there's no way I can take it, so good luck.'

"Yes......"

Obviously Ciel's tension has dropped, but I know how it feels, so I decide to watch him laugh bitterly.

Nevertheless, there are different types of medicinal herbs in this forest.

I think it's important that the potion be a hunter or a knight, but will it be okay to leave it alone and stockpile it until this happens?

Speaking of which, I feel like I barely even sold it to a tool store. Low numbers at that level may even make it difficult to buy if you are a junior hunter.

If it's a town, I can get my injuries healed in church, but not if it's out of town. It may also involve life or death if one injury has been healed.

We don't need them, so they're human resources.

Ciel lowers her back and observes the leaves still to see how many more places she will see.

In previous life, it's a clover-like plant, with three heart-shaped leaves stuck together. But it's more luminous and thicker than anything I can remember. The flowers are also shaped like smaller ones that have rounded the roses, and the colors are white.

"Is this it?

'Sounds like it. The requisition only had a painting of flowers, but the characteristics match.'

"Then you can take this as much as you can. Lots of things."

'Right. Try not to damage the roots, it won't be a problem.

With all this, you'll want to look for the four leaves'

"Does that mean you have four leaves?

I casually said it, but it's not about this world that the four-leaf clover is a symbol of good fortune. Although there may be such stories, Ciel, naturally I don't know that I've never heard of them either.

Even in previous life, countries and cultures may change their ratings, though they hide that it is a different world and tell it as it is.

'I'm talking about plants similar to this. Where I used to be, I was supposed to have three leaves, but sometimes I had four stuck together, and when I found them, they said I was lucky.'

"Let's find it."

"I don't know if there is one, do you?

"Actually, you probably already found it, huh?

When Ciel laughs like she's good at it, she moves a few steps without hesitation and lowers her back again.

At the end of that gaze, indeed, a clover broom with four leaves was glowing in the morning dew.

"It's amazing. You understand very well. '

When I was surprised and honestly complimented him, Ciel looked like he was lit up and then laughed bitterly.

"Ain't you gonna find out soon enough?

Something with more magic than other leaves. "

If you feel properly magic when you're told, it does have more magic than any other leaf.

Then, it also feels a little different in nature.

'Certainly not. Because of this, do you want to keep this without submitting it?

"Yeah, let's do that."

Now Ciel, with a somewhat pranky grin, looks really fun and relieves herself to watch.

Making what you ask for your own would be acceptable enough to get some as your share, although you seem to be doing something wrong.

Instead, it is not more efficient to take requests, etc., as you come to get the herbs you need.

"But then you have another herb you want to take."

"Right. Shall I take it?"

Happily, Ciel approaches one flower.

Among these many herbs, he possesses a great deal of magic. That's what it seems like to be a junior demon.

It looked like a light green in the distance, but when I approached it, I found it to be a transparent flower.

There are as many leaves as Ciel's palm near the ground, with cute flowers on top of it. The flowers are shaped like cherry blossoms, but there is no color in the petals, only the softness of the plants. I'll explore lightly, but this flower doesn't look like anything else.

"Beautiful."

"Right."

I come closer and notice, its presence blinds me.

"Take it, this flower will wither... well, that's sad"

'We can keep it this way as long as we can...'

For example, do you think I would use it as an embossing flower? Though I only know enough to pinch and hold it down with a book.

With potted plants or something, it's hard to do this in your life, although you might be able to transfer it and take it.

"You're gonna put your hands on these flowers, right?

"It's a way to dry it and make it last longer."

Answering the question begins to bother Ciel.

In the woods, which were quiet, the wind suddenly blew.

Strong enough to close your eyes unintentionally, and still just a moment of events.

On the wind, the flutters and flowers flew to Ciel's.

I even feel some will. Besides, Ciel totally snapped his neck off.

There are no roots in the flowers on its hands, and its petals are cropped differently than before.

The shape of the leaves has also changed, and it also looks like it has become a good hair decoration.

"Hey, Ayn. Is this how plants are going to be?

'You've never seen me before. I've never even heard of him.'

"Right? What do you think we should do about this?

"Because of this, I think I can try to keep it in my hair, but it doesn't show when it's transparent, does it?"

Although I am not familiar with the colors, I don't think they are noticeable just because they become white, even if I put something transparent on top of the white.

"I don't know for myself, but would it be better to have colors?

'In making it stylish, I think it would be cuter to have a single point, but you might want to be transparent in the sense that you don't make it stand out.

If they notice you're wearing transparent flowers, that's going to make you stand out. '

"What color would it look good on?

'If I say it in color, I think it can be accented with black or something, but by this flower standard, is the color of the leaves dark brown or green and the color of the flowers dark enough to go inside blue'

"You're gonna stick to me."

Ciel chuckles, but because of this, she wants to wear Ciel.

Sometimes the reason for the blue is because so are Ciel's eyes, but because I've seen cherry blossoms like that before.

I remember it being oddly mysterious, though I've only seen it in pictures. If that's what it is, can you pull it off, without losing siel's appearance?

"When we get back to Wangdu, let's find some blue flower hair decorations."

'Then you'd better ask someone who works in a clothing store. Mine is only the opinion of an amateur'

"I want it because it's the color Ayn said. I don't care what other people think."

I won't be able to say anything to Ciel's straight opinion. No, like, 'Ugh...' Though there are voices out there that don't know what to say.

The purity of Ciel sometimes troubles me. How is it right to react at a time like this?

Before I say anything, Ciel says, "I'll make sure this doesn't get in the way," and brings the transparent flowers closer to her hair.

At the next moment, when the flowers or leaves wrapped around Ciel's hair to seek it, it turned dark as it was, and the flower part darkened blue according to the inside.

The flower part is also translucent and doesn't look like a painful gem.

And with trace amounts, they're sucking magic out of their hair. Seems like you're sucking on my magic, so I don't mind. Even if you add the cost of maintaining the junction and detection, the balance of payments still seems to be in black.

"Uh, Ayn. I wonder what's going on?

'The flowers became like hair decorations, the colors I was just saying.

Only a few moments away, but they're taking the magic. '

"This, do you want to go back?

That said, when Ciel put his hand close to the flower, the leaves that were wrapped around him broke, and he rode on Ciel's hand.

What a strange hair decoration. Back in the hand phase, the colors are back.

"Looks like you're back to normal. I'm sorry I can't be seen, but could it have suited you?

"Yes, it was beautiful."

"You are. Right. Then I'll keep it on for a while. May I?"

'The magic that will be taken is also trace, so it will be fine.

Sucking on magic means it doesn't seem to wither. '

Hear my words, and then Ciel returns the flowers to her hair. I still stick to it myself.

So they were satisfied. Ciel went back to get the requested herb.
