Report - State of the Forest

The sun was beginning to set when I returned home.

On the way home, I only saw a Forest Bear once. As I expected, it didn't come close to me even though it noticed me, so I ignored it.

"It's still sticky..."

"The threads are sensitive to heat, so maybe if you wash them in hot water, they will come off."

"I'll try that."

Claire is concerned about the sticky threads still on her robe.

The Demon Spider's adhesive threads seemed to lose some of their viscosity and stick after a while, perhaps due to the fact that they had been cut by the fire. Although it remained somewhat sticky, it felt firm and crisp when pressed.

"Mother-in-law, the roasted bread was delicious!"

"Oh, yes! I'll make some more tomorrow if you're going out!"

Rilfana and her mother were talking about her lunch.

Yes, that barbecue bread was delicious, but the flavor was too strong, and I wonder if I would get bored with it every day...

"Big Sister, it went down beautifully!"

While I was relaxing and waiting for my dad and the others to return, Claire brought me a robe that she had washed. It seemed to have been hand washed in hot water, and the remaining sticky threads had been cleaned off.

I wondered if it would be dry by tomorrow, but Claire seemed to have used her life magic to dry it quickly. I don't know what that magic is, but I wonder if it's listed in the book as [Dehydration] or something like that.

I am impressed that she is learning a lot of things, like Explosion during the daytime.

"Speaking of which, when did Claire learn to use Explosion?"

"I heard that Fireball requires a target and is dangerous, so I was practicing it because I thought that if it's an explosion, I could just shoot a small explosion into the river."

"If you're going to shoot into the river, why not use a Fireball?"

"Ah!"

Claire also has some subtle omissions. That's what makes her so cute.

Claire can't use the lower level Fireball yet.

It seems that there are no restrictions at all, such as if she can't use the lower level, she can't use the intermediate level.

The difficulty level of magic control should increase, so I think Claire will be able to use the Fireball soon with practice.

"I'm home!"

"I'm home..."

Dad and Leda-san came home.

Leda-san is supposed to be staying at the new inn in the village, but I wonder if they have decided to have dinner at home.

Dad seems to have tied his left arm tightly with a cloth and is holding it back with his right arm.

"Welcome home, sweetheart. What happened to your face?"

Mom seemed to notice Dad's pale face.

"Dad, are you hurt?"

"Yeah, I encountered a lot of poison spiders."

"What, you need to be cured!"

"I've already treated it with antidote herbs, but Claire, if you can check on it, I'd appreciate it."

When I removed the cloth my father had spread on my left arm, I found numerous lightly crushed leaves wrapped around my arm. It looked like he had been bitten by a spider, with rolling fang marks and purple swelling.

I wondered if it hurt, but my father said it didn't hurt much, as the leaves wrapped around it seemed to have an anesthetic effect.

"Antidote!"

As Claire exercises the detoxification magic, sparkling magic power is sucked into the wound area. As I watched, the swelling slowly went down and the color returned to normal skin tone.

"In a manner of speaking, recovery too. Healing!"

Furthermore, when Claire applied healing magic, the swelling and scars that remained a little disappeared nicely.

Magic is so convenient.

"You're pretty good at manipulating magic quickly, too."

"Thanks for the help, Claire."

"Hehehe."

Claire is embarrassed by the praise from Leda-san and her father.

There was a knocking on the door of the house, and without checking, the door was opened. It was Lerio who came out.

"I've brought Sister."

"Sorry, sorry, Claire-chan fixed it."

"Oh? Oh..."

It seems that Lerio, a vigilante, had gone to call the sisters at the entrance of the village. She seemed to be in a great hurry and was a little dazed.

"I'll take another look at it, just in case."

The Sister didn't seem particularly concerned and checked Dad's mostly healed left arm.

"It looks fine. That's what I'd expect from Claire-chan."

Lerio and Sister, who no longer had any reason to be there, quickly left.

"That Sister is a very capable woman, isn't she?"

Rilfana muttered quietly. I haven't heard anything about the Sister, though, have you?

◇

"Well, now that Marc is better, I'll be in touch. It's a bit much for just the two of us and the three newcomers. I'll be back soon.

"Yes, I'll have it ready."

Hearing Mom's reply, Leda-san left the house. Dad said that in the innkeeper's luggage there were tools that could be used to contact the town. Is it like a telephone or a pigeon?

Claire was resting, perhaps tired from chanting, and Rilfana was at the processing table in the corner, preparing the medicinal herbs she had picked earlier that morning.

I was helping my mother prepare dinner when Leda-san returned.

"I heard the Alphos were in town and they're coming this way. It's about time for another party to come back."

"Oh, okay. Let's have dinner and hear their report."

Today's soy sauce dish is boiled Forlen Grass.

The name "Forlen Grass" comes from the fact that it was delicious when eaten in the Forlen region of western Soljeplante, and it is a spinach. It is pronounced as it is.

After we finished dinner, we had a debriefing session.

Dad came home injured, and Mom, who usually goes back to her chores, also listened.

"After entering the southern forest, I found a huge spider's web a short distance away. I was checking it out and found it surrounded by poison spiders. They are monsters that originally inhabited the area, but there were an unusually large number of them. But they were small."

"We couldn't bring them to the village, so we had to run away for almost half a day, taking them down as we went.

"We were lucky to get only a few bites."

"You can thank me for the antidote, I was desperate to locate it."

"Oh, thank you."

It seems my dad and the others were mostly fighting against poison spider poison spiders. I wonder if Claire is the only one who can use antidote magic with these five of us.

I should be able to use healing magic as long as my level goes up, but I don't feel like I can use it yet, so I think I'm not at the right level.

"I went straight through to the east road in the town of Guardia."

"Along the way I saw a Forest Bear with cubs and a couple of Killer Rabbits."

"Then we had lunch at a stone pillar on the road."

The three of us look at each other. I can't mention it, can I?
