Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

Kato Hui continued forward and soon reached the end. A huge vortex of magic power appeared in her perception, and the center of the vortex seemed to be wrapped in something...

"Is this... a seed? Hiss... it hurts..."

Before Kato Megumi had time to investigate carefully, the pain in her head became more severe due to excessive use of her mental power. Helplessly, Kato Megumi could only retract her mental power to prevent damage to her foundation due to excessive use.

Kato Teru rubbed his head with one hand while looking towards the tip of the branch, where there seemed to be a tender green bump growing slowly... that was the location of the magic vortex he saw.

She was a little dumbfounded... Could it be that this tea tree was bearing fruit?

But what she wanted was tea!

……

……

The work of others was progressing in full swing and seemed to be going smoothly. Ina had already hired people to plant the crops, and Kato Megumi also used magic every day to grow food; Carissa also found a dozen talented cooks, and everything was going smoothly.

Although Kato Megumi is very busy every day because of the birthing issue, this is also a temporary emergency measure. Once the initial supply of materials is in place, the normal grain planting process can be followed. Of course, land must be purchased first.

As for the mutated tea tree, Kato Megumi broke off a few branches and tried to induce growth, and finally understood why the tea tree would bear fruit. It was because she had unconsciously used the power of fusion when she first induced growth, which caused the tea tree to be very compatible with the magic and soil here. As a result, the tea tree no longer grew leaves, but produced fruit.

However, the results obtained from several other experimental subjects were different. The tea trees that were grown without the power of fusion could not grow at all. It was better to say that they could not absorb the magic power at all, resulting in the growth of the tea trees only draining the vitality inside them, and what was obtained was just a dead sapling.

The saplings that were stimulated by the addition of a little fusion power stopped growing when they reached a height of more than one person, and the leaves also grew normally. In this regard, Kato Megumi tried to pick a few leaves and tasted them.

The faint magic melts on the tip of the tongue, and it is obvious that this tea tree already has the shadow of the magic tree.

Kato Megumi decided to use this tea tree as a product because its magic power is stronger than the magic leaves on the market, and it is easier to win the hearts of partners.

……

As for... the first tea tree that was completely grown with the power of fusion, the green fruits have already grown to the size of a fingernail. Kato Megumi does not forget to stimulate growth every day. This tea tree only has five branches with fruits hanging on them, and it seems that it will take more than ten days to bear fruit.

She was very curious about what the fruit would look like.

You know, she has also used her mental power to explore the inside of other tea trees. Compared with this tea tree, the magic torrent inside is like a big wizard comparing to a small wizard. There is no comparison at all.

Since tea leaves produced by adding a trace of fusion power have stronger effects than magic leaves, what effect will the fruit produced by the tea tree that has been transformed by all the fusion power and perfectly adapted to the environment have...

Kato Megumi was quite looking forward to this.

However, despite the expectations, the tea tree is still useless now, so Kato Megumi can only put it aside.

She wanted to use tea leaves to exchange for starting capital... to buy shops and fields. With more fields and shops, the temple would have funds and the girls would have jobs.

Generally speaking, for victims like those who were abducted by goblins or whose families were destroyed by monsters, the temple usually provides them with free psychological counseling. Finally, based on their qualifications, talented people can be appointed as priests of the temple. If they do not have talent, the temple will assign them a job and a temporary place to live. When they have a certain amount of assets, the temple will take back their residence.

After all, the temple is so big and the priests are very busy. Whether it is cooking, cleaning the courtyard, or all kinds of chores, someone needs to be taken care of. So generally speaking, the temple is able to provide accommodation and food for these homeless people.

However, Kato Megumi did not intend to classify these girls as those who did odd jobs; after preparing the shops and fields, Kato Megumi wanted to let them manage the temple's industry based on what they were good at; although generally speaking, the temple's industry was not short of people, after all, this was a well-paid job; but the city of Loha had just started from her own hands and was extremely short of manpower, so Kato Megumi felt that this kind of placement was enough to fulfill her guarantee for their future.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 156 Chapter Lovely Alyssa

Of course... the prerequisite is to have an industry.

Now, the most urgent task is to find a tea partner...

Kato Megumi didn't know the local nobles yet. After all, after entering the city, she declined all the requests to visit her, and then she was busy with the development of the temple. She didn't know the situation here at all. In order to find a good partner, Kato Megumi found Alyssa to ask about the situation in the city.

"A noble who does business? Or one who has a say? Hui, do you want to do business?"

Alyssa asked.

"Well... I have something I want to sell, but it's very precious and may affect the interests of other families, so I hope to find someone who has great influence and power and a good business sense."

"Things...what are they?"

Alyssa was puzzled, but she only saw Kato Hui smiled, then took out a few leaves and handed them to her...

Before Alyssa fell into poverty, she was at least the eldest daughter of a family, so she had naturally drunk something like magic leaves. Looking at the fresh and crisp leaves in front of her, she was stunned at first, so I realized what it was.

"Is this the magic leaf sold by the Kroman family? It's still unprocessed..." Alyssa put the tea leaves to her nose and sniffed them, looking surprised. "The Karamay family never sells raw materials. Where did you get this fresh magic leaf?"

"Come to think of it, I haven't drunk this stuff for a long time... Don't you know when I was a kid, when the family was still intact, my father would send people to buy a small handful every day to cleanse my aptitude," Alyssa sighed with a nostalgic tone, "It's a pity that my magic talent is so poor that I never became a magician, and ended up being a swordsman. But fortunately, because of taking magic leaves for a long time, my mental strength has been greatly improved, and my talent as a swordsman has been developed little by little."

Seeing Alyssa's rather nostalgic look, Kato Megumi chuckled.

"If it can make the poor young lady recall the past, then this thing is worth a fortune and unique. However... this thing is not a magic leaf, but tea leaves. However, I think it should have the same effect as the magic leaf. You can try to see if it is the same as the magic leaf in your memory."

Not the magic leaf?

Alyssa looked at the leaves in her hand in surprise. She could clearly feel the magic flowing on its surface. Different from the magic in the processed and restrained magic leaves, the leaves in her hand were fresh and tender, and obviously they had been picked not long ago.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like the magic leaf of the Croman family, but Kato Megumi actually said that it is not a magic leaf but tea leaves...

Alyssa couldn't help but become interested. After asking Hui about it, the other party just kept it a secret and didn't directly tell her where it came from. Instead, she asked her to taste it to see what the difference was.

Because it was not a processed magic leaf, Alyssa could only hold it in her mouth.

Then, unexpectedly, the tea leaves melted in her mouth, as if some kind of refreshing fragrance penetrated through the tip of her tongue and penetrated from her mouth to her limbs along with magic. Alyssa felt refreshed and her fatigue was dispelled at once.

"This is... the effect seems to be several times better than the magic leaf..."

Alyssa's eyes lit up. If a piece of tea that had not been processed had such an effect, how much more effective would it be if it was processed? Alyssa could clearly feel that this kind of tea was several times better than the magic leaf of the Kroman family, and was more conducive to human absorption.

"What kind of leaf is this? It's so effective." Alyssa looked at Kato Hui with bright eyes while savoring the taste in her mouth. "Is this the kind of tea Hui wants to sell? Obviously, based on the efficacy of this tea, if the price is not much higher than the magic leaf, it is obvious that tea will soon replace the magic leaf and become the new noble among the nobles... This is not a simple matter of prying the interests of a family."

"And I can even feel that this tea not only improves my mental and magical sensitivity, but it can also nourish my physical strength. As a swordsman who relies on fine control, I can clearly feel that my body has grown a little, even if it's only a little bit."

At this point, Alyssa became serious.

"Mei...can you tell me where this came from?"

This is a good thing that can improve physical strength.

Kato Megumi blinked.

“I planted this…”

As she spoke, she took out some more tea leaves, took Alyssa’s hand, and put it in the other’s hand.

"This... is something I grew myself... It's only available here... "

It seemed that Kato Megumi's answer was too stimulating. Alyssa was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Kato Megumi with a complicated look.

Then he pinched another piece and put it in his mouth to calm himself.

Feeling that one piece was not enough, she took another piece to taste it.

Hmm... Why is there no taste? Let me take another piece and try it...

Then there was a click, and something sweet splashed in her mouth, and then melted. Only then did Alyssa wake up from her mechanical daze.

It turned out that Kato Megumi saw her like this, took out a piece of candy and put it in her palm, and she bit it as if it were tea.

"How is it... Is it sweet? This kind of candy is also what I want to sell... But... the nobles don't lack sugar, so I gave it to Krina and the others and asked them to make affordable candy for the common people."

Looking at Kato Megumi who was radiating infinite brilliance, Alyssa sighed softly and looked at Kato Megumi with dim eyes.

"What's wrong? Looking at me like that..."

Kato Megumi asked in confusion.

"No, I just doubt my previous vision. How could I be so short-sighted that I thought the person in front of me was a rookie saint..."

“Eh… is that so? So this is how you see Kei?”

Kato Megumi pondered for a moment, then quietly stepped forward and took Alyssa's hand again. Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, she took out a small bag of tea and put it in her hand.

"I'll support you..."

"Eh?"

Looking at Kato Hui's solemn expression, Alyssa was suddenly caught off guard.

But, but…I wasn’t ready yet, and the usually quiet Alyssa suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Although I had expressed that idea jokingly before, I also explained in the end that I didn't really mean it at all. What's wrong with Hui now?

Could it be, could it be...

"Well, you are in so much debt now. I ask you to help me run the tea business. You can take half of the profit, so you don't have to work hard and take risks to make money."

Kato Megumi said seriously.

“Eh? Ah? Ah… is this what you mean…”

Alyssa was stunned at first, then responded awkwardly and turned her head away silently, wondering if she had misunderstood.

However, she didn't see the hint of mischief in Kato Hui's eyes...

Alyssa... is so cute.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 157 Chapter : Master of Tricks Kato Megumi

It didn't take long for Alyssa to regain her composure. She looked at the bag of tea in her hand, and her heart was filled with warmth.

She knew that Kato Megumi was not joking. She looked at her with a serious look, and it was obvious that she had thought about this matter seriously. Maybe it was because she was her friend, or maybe it was because she had connections through business. No matter what the reason was, the other party handed this opportunity to her, and Alyssa was also moved and wanted to seize it.

Squeezing the bag of tea leaves in her hand, Alyssa felt an indescribable complex emotion in her heart. The tea leaves in it were countless times better than the magic leaves that ordinary people could not easily obtain, but in Hui's case, it was a small bag of hundreds of leaves that was given away casually; obviously, for Hui, there were a lot of such things, so many that even the other party felt that they were not worth mentioning; but for Alyssa, the so-called not worth mentioning, a casual gift, was what others had dreamed of and longed for.

Alyssa suddenly understood why the Kroman family had so many vassals.

She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke to Kato Megumi.

"Why don't you do it yourself, Hui... Considering your status, it shouldn't be a big problem..."

"Well... although I want to do this, I can't do it because I am a saint." Kato Hui shook her head gently, "If I want to use tea to make money, I can't rely on my identity as a saint to discuss cooperation; if I do that, people will only see the temple behind me, not me, the saint; if they want to consider various factors, they will probably consider it based on the temple, which is not what I want; the saint is the saint, and the temple is the temple."

"So you want to save some money... I understand..."

Alyssa's eyes understood for a moment, and she joked.

"Ah~ You are right to think so. This Saint wants to save up a small treasury to support Alyssa..."

Seeing Kato Megumi blink and say this along with her words, Alyssa burst out laughing.

"Okay... I'll wait for Hui to take care of me..."

……

……

Alyssa roughly understood what Kato Megumi meant. In short, in the tea business, she was fully responsible for planting, transportation, and sales, while Kato Megumi only needed to provide tea seedlings.

The temple is the temple, she is her, and the matter of contacting people for sales cooperation is left to Alyssa, and Kato Megumi is Alyssa's backer to support her, and that is enough.

After all, handing this business over to Alyssa instead of to the temple has already shown the Saint's attitude and made it clear to everyone.

The temple is the temple and the saint is the saint, at least when it comes to tea.

"There are only five powerful forces in Locha City. They are the city lord Wall, whose subordinates are in charge of the defense of Locha City; Count Ella, whose subordinates control half of the shops in Locha City; and the Koro Chamber of Commerce of Anton, a big businessman with many cities." Alyssa explained the power distribution of Locha City to Kato Hui. "As for the other two, I think the Saint also knows, they are the Adventurer's Guild and the Water Temple."

"Eh... So the Temple of the Earth Mother has fallen to the point where it can't even be ranked in the top five?" Kato Megumi opened her mouth slightly, "I'm really not surprised at all..."

In response to Kato Megumi's complaints, Alyssa smiled slightly and then explained.

"Needless to say, the Adventurer's Guild and the Water Temple are neutral forces. They have their own process of collecting commissions and issuing tasks. They are forces that have nothing to do with the tea business. As for the Water Temple, at least their unfriendly attitude towards the local Earth Mother Temple has cut off the bud of cooperation. So next we can only choose among the three forces."

"Hmm... So what are the characteristics of these three people? What are their personalities and methods? I want to find a partner mainly for convenience and to avoid trouble, so to some extent, character is the most important..."

"Although we are looking for a partner, the Temple is also in urgent need of some start-up capital, so the partner we find must be someone who can boldly pre-order and give us the initial capital."

Kato Megumi added.

"If this is what you ask for... City Lord Wall is excluded," Alyssa murmured. "The City Lord has a very possessive personality and may not be a very good partner. In the early years, there were rumors that he framed his own governors in order to hold the power of the garrison alone and seized the other half of the power of the army. Regardless of whether this rumor is true or false, this person's personality is indeed not very good.

"As for the other two, Count Ella has good character, but average ability. His current businesses are all from his family. I can't say he manages them well or badly, but he is generally in a position to maintain the status quo. As a large chamber of commerce that can be found in all cities, the Koro Chamber of Commerce has unquestionable ability, but businessmen focus on profit the most, and Anton himself is not in Roha City. It is rumored that he has a big backer behind him, who is related to the royal family, but I don't know if it is true."

"What do you think, Saint?"

"Well...it depends on which one you like, Alyssa...after all, I have given you full authority over this matter."

"Eh?"

Alyssa was slightly stunned and looked at Kato Megumi blankly, and Kato Megumi smiled back at her.
