Plant Mage 45

I’m Going to Accept Residents (5)

I acted as evil as I could.

Then, Navi, who was expressionless and emotionless, suddenly smiled.

「Master is kind as always.」

「I’m not kind. I’m soft at best.」

「If I may say so myself, that’s simply not true.」

「What do you mean?」

「Master is a great and talented man but you tend to carry everything on your own….if you really want to use what you can, use this Navi as well.」

「You’re being very honest today, Navi.」

「……that kind of behavior is really what makes master a mess.」

「Navi can be a little shy too.」

「……master.」

「Sorry. I was just making fun of you.」

I laughed with my partner, who looked confused, and went to sleep.

The next day, through Frau, I informed the flowerkin about working in my field.

As the second season of the grand banquet began, I was forced to drink a lot of flowerkin’s treasured berry wine.

Special Issue: Information Guild “Wings of the Pen”

A skilled mage from the imperial capital comes to the lower continent!?

The activities of the mysterious mage have become the talk of the town.

According to Mama, a reporter from this guild, a very skilled mage has been spotted in the Guild Autonomous Region of Gartland, the largest city in the lower continent.

According to the testimony of Mel-shi of the transport guild “Rat Squadron” it is believed that the mysterious mage entered the Guild Autonomous Region alone from the imperial capital.

The mage, whom reporter Mama has encountered in a desperate attempt to infiltrate an area, was brilliant. He was able to manipulate tentacle-like creature at will and his ability to subdue those who disturbed the public order in the city with a single blow suggests that he is quite skilled.

「From what I witnessed, he’s not even serious」

Reporter Mama testified.

The information guild also learned through its own channels a mysterious mage was involved in resolving the shortage of red berries.

Some members of the guild have called for the mage to be sought out and commended for his efforts to solve the problem of the historic poor harvest of red berries, the raw material for healing potions, which could have led to a trade dispute with the Romancia Empire, known as the powerhouse of the upper continent,  and the guild autonomous region.

Rubbing her eyes after an all-nighter, Mama, a catkin with a fluffy tail, wandered around the market in Gartland that morning.
