Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Didn't I tell you before that you are in charge of everything... I'm not kidding,"

She was not joking. If she said to give it to Alyssa, then give it to Alyssa. Things that are easily obtained will make people too uneasy and feel that they will lose them at any time.

Kato Hui said that she would give half of the profits to Alyssa, of course, she didn't want her to take it for free. Money earned from work is more reliable... Now looking for a suitable partner can be regarded as giving Alyssa training in advance...

Of course, even if she gave it to Alyssa for free, Kato Megumi wouldn't care, but even if she wanted to do that, Alyssa wouldn't agree.

Anyone who can become a swordsman has a strong heart. Kato Hui thought that Alyssa should also have her own persistence.

Come to think of it, I seem to have the potential to fool people in a serious manner.

Don't be fooled by her serious words before, such as she is herself and the temple is the temple. She can't do it by herself, so she needs someone to help her run it. In fact, that was all to deceive Alyssa.

Because of the efficacy of tea, this thing is considered a strategic material. Whichever force gets it will produce more geniuses. So to some extent, Kato Megumi is like an arms dealer, selling arms to various forces, so the distribution of tea is particularly important, and the division of interests between them is very troublesome.

Therefore, no matter how they try to distance themselves from the matter, it will not stand up to scrutiny, and at this stage, winning over partners is only a temporary partnership.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 158 Chapter Alyssa's Childhood Sweetheart

When tea leaves come into the eyes of the upper class, that’s when it’s time to argue.

By then, there will inevitably be all kinds of attempts to win over Kato Megumi, and the thought of those things makes Kato Megumi feel very troublesome; but although it is troublesome, Kato Megumi cannot refuse these troubles, because behind these troubles are forces that control countless resources, and those resources are what Kato Megumi covets.

After all, she doesn't care about which force it is, she only cares about money and resources.

So the question is, how can you make yourself more peaceful and get what you want at the same time? The answer is simple, just find a professional agent to take full responsibility. So Kato Megumi thinks, well, Alyssa is easy to fool, but no, Alyssa is very steady, so she is the most suitable.

So just like that, Kato Megumi became a hands-off boss on the day she grew the tea and left it to Alyssa.

Later, Alyssa regained her senses and gradually figured out Kato Megumi's original intention, which made her feel a little amused and helpless.

However, even so, she had no choice but to deal with the matter.

After calming down, Alyssa began to think about which of the two people was the most suitable partner at the moment. After much deliberation, she chose Count Ella.

As for why she chose the other party, Alyssa had her own considerations.

Judging from the current situation, there is no shortage of sales for tea. Rather than talking about partnerships, it is more like giving money and building relationships, and at the same time, it is also necessary to obtain the first starting capital.

There is no doubt that Earl Ella is the most suitable candidate.

The first is that the other party has a title and a natural advantage, which can save a lot of trouble for the tea business. The other party's father is a duke and lives in the royal city, which is conducive to the expansion of connections between people. The second is that the other party has good character and is enterprising enough. Moreover, the other party sends a post to the villa every day, indicating that he wants to contact. Of course, these are not the most important. The important thing is that Alyssa knows Ella. The other party was once her suitor and her childhood sweetheart. She understands this person and they know each other well, so there is basically no obstacle.

As for why they didn't choose the Koro Chamber of Commerce, there was another concern. First of all, this matter was very urgent, and the Saint was in urgent need of a batch of initial funds, which could not withstand the passage of time and wrangling. Merchants valued profits the most, and even if they saw the prospects of tea, they could not make an early investment. After all, the money the Saint wanted was not an ordinary number. Secondly, Anton was not in Luoha City, and as far as she knew, the real boss behind the Koro Chamber of Commerce was not Anton, and the other party could not have the decision-making power. This situation, in which she didn't know the details, was also the reason why Alyssa changed her choice.

Compared to unfamiliar chambers of commerce whose backgrounds are unknown, familiar suitors are easier to deal with. After all, first... cheat, no, get investment.

Now that the decision has been made, there is no time to lose. Alyssa did not delay for long, took care of her makeup, and walked towards Ella’s villa.

When she arrived outside the villa where Ella lived, Alyssa saw a familiar figure scolding something.

"What's wrong with you? I told you not to let anyone in. Let anyone in. Are you all deaf?"

"But sir... that is... we can't not let her in, otherwise... if she is blamed, even if the Earl is fine, we will be in trouble!"

The guard said aggrievedly.

"Who are you working for? If you are not allowed in, then you are not allowed in. As a security guard, this is your duty. You can't even do your duty well and you are so timid. How can you be like a subordinate of our Earl's Mansion? I think you want to get out!"

The housekeeper was very angry and felt bad. If this guy wasn't a relative's child, he would have fired him long ago.

Looking at the guy in front of him who was cowering with his head down, the butler waved his hand impatiently.

"Alright, alright, I didn't think it through. I'll find you another job from now on. If you cause trouble again, you'd better get out of here as soon as possible!"

"Okay... Sorry for bothering you, butler. I won't do this again next time."

Looking at the guy leaving, the butler sighed.

"It's really troublesome..."

Just then, he heard someone calling him.

"housekeeper?"

The butler turned around and saw a young girl with a sword on her waist looking at him.

"Miss Alyssa! Why are you here? Are you here to see the Earl?" Facing the butler's attitude, Alyssa stroked her hair and said embarrassedly, "I have something to ask Ella. Is she home?"

"Yes, of course I am! The Count will be happy to know that you are here. Please come in... I will go and inform the Count right away..."

Obviously, the housekeeper knew Alyssa, so Alyssa easily entered the villa and waited in the living room.

Familiar style, familiar layout, Alyssa missed it a little, she hadn't been here for a long time.

Soon, Alyssa saw her childhood sweetheart, Count Ella, a woman with short brown hair, indistinguishable gender and wearing men's clothing!

Yes, she is a woman, with a heroic look, and she was once a suitor.

And Ella was clearly thrilled to see her.

"Alyssa! Why are you here? Are you finally..."

"No, I'm here for something... I want to discuss a business with you."

Alyssa, who knew what the other party was going to say, quickly interrupted Ella's next words.

"Okay... I know your personality, and I know you won't agree to my request." Ella seemed disappointed, but she quickly shook off the emotion and put on a normal aristocratic temperament. "Then what do you want to talk to me about... Alyssa, I heard that you are friends with the recently famous saint. How have you been recently? Is that saint easy to get along with?"

Alyssa smiled slightly and did not answer, but repeated again; "My Lord Earl, I came to you for something... What you asked are all irrelevant topics."

“Oh…” Ella was feeling a little depressed. She was originally very happy that Alyssa came to visit her, but when she thought that the other party had no intention, her mood suddenly dropped again.

But since Alyssa wanted to discuss business with her, she must want her to help with something! Thinking of this, Ella's mood began to improve again.

“Then Alyssa, what kind of business do you want to discuss with me? If I can, I will try my best to help you…”

"My Lord Earl, I don't need your help... But on the contrary, the cooperation I want to discuss with you will be of help to you..."

As she spoke, Alyssa took out the tea she had prepared.

"This cooperation can be regarded as a thank you for your help to me before..."

ps: Oh, it’s hard to endure until now

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 159 Chapter It's harvest time

While Alyssa was discussing tea cooperation with her childhood sweetheart Ella, on the other side, the potatoes planted by the girls led by Aina had reached the harvest time.

"Holy Father Aina, are the potatoes produced from these lands really enough for us to eat? Although it is undeniable that the meals that Sister Carissa cooks with potatoes are very delicious, I'm afraid that this small piece of land can't produce much food, right?"

A young girl nearby asked worriedly. After all, this piece of land was too small. It was not enough to supply the hundreds of people in the temple. You have to know that the food grown from this small piece of land was only enough for a family of three to eat for a year. Even with the help of a magician, the output could only double or triple at most. It would be impossible to increase it more than that.

Even so, the output was still not enough to feed more than a few hundred people for a month, so the girl doubted whether this piece of land could be as productive as Priest Aina said.

Of course, the girl was not questioning the Saint, she just had some doubts in her heart. After all, this was the result of the hard work and expectation of the priest and the Saint, and it was constantly promoted by the Saint. If the food produced could only feed the group for a few days, wouldn't the income not be enough to offset the expenditure and waste time?

After all, the Saint is so otherworldly, pure and beautiful, and she is definitely no match for these girls from farming families when it comes to farming. However, because they trust her, they do not doubt the Saint's ability... But... no matter how they look at it, they don't think that the food produced from this piece of land can feed so many people.

After the girl asked this, the others around also looked over. After all, they were also curious about this. How high was the so-called high yield? Was it really as much as the priest said?

The girls looked at the huge leaves in the fields and could not tell what kind of food there was on the land. Could these leaves be food? But these were not the golden, soft and glutinous potatoes they ate!

When planting potatoes, the girls simply dug holes in neat rows in the fields, and left the rest to the saint's friend Miss Doro, who used magic to blow up the large seeds with wind magic, and then planted them in the soil and then backfilled them. After the girls finished digging the holes, they were busy planting other crops for seasoning. Everything else was left to the saint and the magician with a good figure to stimulate the birth, so no one had the extra time to check on the potatoes. They only knew that today was a harvest day, so they rented a carriage to pull the food, but what they saw was lush green leaves.

How could this not confuse them?

Seeing the girls worried, Aina knew they meant well, so she explained.

"Seeing is not necessarily believing. The seeds given by Her Majesty the Saint are naturally extraordinary. Don't be fooled by the green leaves on them. In fact, the grains are all underground."

"underground!?"

The girls behind him looked at each other in confusion. They had never seen food growing underground. Could this thing really be eaten?

But it seemed that they had already tasted potatoes and naturally knew that they were edible, so these thoughts only flashed through their minds and disappeared without a trace.

"Yes, they are all underground. You also know that the Earth Mother controls the earth, so what's so strange about the fruit growing underground?"

"Okay, stop being in a daze. Since you still have doubts, why not go and see for yourself!"

After hearing what Ina said, the girls no longer thought that she was lying to them. Instead, they came to the fields out of curiosity to see what the fruits growing in the soil looked like.

One person ran to the field, and the others followed him out one after another. They ran to the field curiously and began to pull up leaves or dig up the roots of the leaves, wanting to see for themselves how the potatoes were hidden in the soil.

Seeing the energetic actions of these girls, Aina behind them smiled with satisfaction.

Obviously they were lifeless and depressed before, but unexpectedly they are all energetic now; you know, for these traumatized girls, the temple usually gives them psychological treatment, casts magic, and prays in the morning and at noon to purify their negative emotions; who would have thought that the saint would have such magic, and after assigning them work as the saint said, the effect is no worse than the priests using magic to continuously remove negative emotions. Because of being busy, these girls' moods gradually became cheerful, they made friends with each other, and there was more laughter and joy.

Is this what the Saint said, time will wear away emotions, and being busy will bring achievements...

Aina thought to herself that, indeed, although she had been busy recently, these girls were indeed much more cheerful than they were a few days ago, and even she herself was no longer gloomy.

After all, seeing that my food is getting better and better and the temple is becoming more popular and cleaner, I have a feeling that my life is getting better and better, which seems to be more effective than praying in the temple's prayer room every day.

And all of this is the feeling brought by the Saint, so... is she worthy of being their Saint...

Bring hope to life and anticipation for the future.

Ina thought more and more, and admired Kato Megumi even more in her mind.

If Kato Megumi's system had a favorability recognition system, she would probably be able to see the favorability rating above Aina's head rising.

At this time, Kato Megumi said, "Hmm? Is it my illusion? I feel like my faith has skyrocketed a bit?"

The pen touched the tip of her nose playfully, and Kato Megumi shook her head.

"Hmm... I'd better write down this recipe first. My faith is growing all the time. It may be an illusion..."

……

……

……

"Ah... I dug it out!" The girl who was digging saw the potatoes sticking out of the soil and couldn't help but shout. Then she hurriedly dug. After digging for a long time, she finally dug out a string of potatoes and exclaimed, "So many! There are so many. It turns out that Your Majesty didn't lie to us. There really is such a high-yield crop."

"What, let me see!"

When the familiar people around saw the girl carrying a string of potatoes, they quickly gathered around. Then when they saw the strings of potatoes in each other's hands, they were as surprised as the girl.

"Oh my god, how much weight does this string weigh?"

"This... is too much. Is the production so high?"

The people around exclaimed that the potatoes in front of them were extremely large. One potato was as big as two fists, and there were nearly a dozen potatoes on this bunch of seedlings. It was very difficult for the girl to lift them, and only when the people around her lifted them together could they be kept stable.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 160 Chapter Exceeding Expected Production

Apparently the yield and size of the potatoes exceeded their imagination.

"I dug some too! Lots!"

"Mine is so big, look, it's as big as three fists."

The exclamations of the girls around were getting louder and louder. You know, they had seen potatoes before, and they were only the size of a fist. They thought there was only one potato under a bunch of seedlings, but who would have thought there were more than a dozen under a bunch of seedlings, and each one was bigger than the ones they had seen before.

No wonder the saint told them not to worry before. With such a production volume, would anyone still be short of food?

Not only were the girls surprised, but Ina, who came rushing over after hearing their cries, was also very surprised after seeing the potatoes that had been grown.

This potato is too big, even bigger than the one she had seen from the Saint before. Could this be the result of the Saint’s rapid labor?

Could there be potatoes the size of heads?

Then, just as Ina was thinking this, someone next to her screamed in surprise. She went to the direction of the voice and found that a young girl had dug out a potato the size of her head.

"Eh... there are potatoes this big? It's different from what I imagined! Could it be because of the induced labor?"

"But, isn't this... a little too big? Is it because of the magic?"

A familiar voice came from her ears. Aina turned her head and saw that it was Miss Doro who came to her side, and the one who spoke was the saint's pet in her arms, the contracted beast named Eriri.

At first, when Aina heard the cat talking, she was shocked. Later, she learned that it was the saint's pet. After getting along with it for a while, Aina got used to it.

Seeing the two people coming, Aina greeted them politely.

"Ms. Doro, Eriri... Sir, good afternoon..." After greeting, Aina looked at Eriri and asked, "The Saint said that the potato yield is very high, but she didn't say that the crop would be this big."

Aina looked at the potatoes as big as heads that the girls were surrounding with a little doubt. "Lady Eriri, these potatoes should be edible, right? They are not caused by some abnormality, right?"

"Of course you can eat it! I think you're worrying too much." Ying Lili jumped out of Duo Luo's arms, walked to the potato as big as her head, and knocked it with her cat paw. "It's just like a person who is tall, fat, short and thin. The same goes for potatoes. This potato is just fatter. Don't look down on her."
