Episode 235: Saint's true value (Third Party Perspective)

"Well then, please house-sit again today, desu."

""Roger.""

Noelle, dressed in a white priest's uniform, leaves the base she rented.

It's been a few days since Noelle and the others stepped on the transfer trap and were sent to Egypt. In exchange for traveling to Japan and providing their safety and necessary items, Noelle treated the people who were seriously injured by the dungeon Stampede, and yesterday the request was completed.

Actually, that was enough for compensation, but Noelle, who has a personality that finds it difficult to refuse when asked, wants to do something about improving the food situation.

"Please guide me, desu ~ ."

"I understand."

She calls out to the Egyptian guide who is waiting in front of the base, gets in the car, and goes to today's site.

"Did you take a lot of damage, desu?"

"Yes. The Stampede did a lot of damage to the town, especially concerning food. The airport was also destroyed, and maintenance took time, and the food arrangements haven't caught up."

"I see, desu ~ ."

Because they are having their livelihood taken care of, they are provided with proper meals, but the view of the city from the window of the car is not very good.

Many people are unemployed, unable to find food, and often seen sitting down with their heads bowed and lethargic.

This is the scene she's seen for the past few days, but no matter how many times she sees it, it's still a tense state.

"Is it okay for the land we arranged to be in a place like this?"

"No problem, desu ~ ."

Noelle is guided to an empty plot of land on the outskirts of town. Originally it was a field, but it has become desolate land, trampled by monsters, and now there no shadow of its former self to be seen.

"Then, it's time to show the true worth of Saint Noelle, desu!!"

Noelle pulls out her staff from her bag, closes her eyes and begins chanting a spell.

"Change Field!!"

The tip of the staff shines brightly, and after chanting the spell, Noelle opens her eyes wide and holds the staff up high, says the magic's name, and then brings the staff down at the ground.

""Ha?""

At that moment, the devastated earth transforms into a ridged field, centered on the place where the staff struck. The soil has changed into a solid field soil that you couldn't believe had been devastated.

The guide who accompanied her to the scene and dozens of people who followed as labor are surprised with wide-eyed looks.

The area is 1 hectare. The area transforms into a field in a matter of minutes.

"Fuu ~ ."

Noelle takes a deep breath and begins chanting more spells.

"Earth Blessing!!"

Light gathers at the tip of her staff again, and Noelle points the tip at the land that has been turned into a field. A divine wave of light spreads over the field, and the field itself emits a faint light.

After several tens of seconds, the light subsides.

"Fuu. Now this field can grow any kind of crops for a month, desu."

"Hah!? I, is that true!?"

When Noelle calls out to the guide, the stunned guide returns to his senses and reveals his astonishment.

"Yes, desu. Try planting something, desu."

"I, I understand."

In order to convince the guide, who is in disbelief, Noelle asks him to plant the seeds of the plants he brought with him on the ridges that were formed.

Even though the guide is confused, he brings the seeds from the car and plants them at the edge of the ground that has turned into a field.

""Eeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh!?""

The change is dramatic.

After several tens of seconds of planting the seeds, the seeds sprout, and then the stems begin to grow and lush leaves appear as if they have regenerated several months of growth at several tenths of the time.

It is no wonder that the local people, including the guide are surprised at the speed of their growth.

In the end, the fruit grows on the tips of the leaves that grow quickly and grow to be the most suitable for eating.

"Yeah, it's delicious!!"

Noelle takes a ripened bright red fruit. She picks a vegetable called a tomato and bites into it to make sure it tastes okay.

"Th, this is serious. I'll bring more people to help. Perhaps when they hear that food is available, many will come. You guys, please plant your crops immediately."

""Roger!!""

The guide understands that the crops will grow in no time and will be ready for harvest, and decides that the current number of people will not be able to make the most of the field, so he decides to call for support.

The locals who receive the instructions start planting crops with the seeds.

"Noelle-sama, is this the only place that can be turned into a field?"

"For the time being, nine more places. I'm planning to do ten hectares, desu."

The guide immediately approaches Noelle to confirm how much this field can be expanded.

For Noelle, there is no problem with her amount of mana, but if she overdoes it, it will be bad, so she keeps it to that extent.

It's undeniable that her standards for that degree are significantly off.

"I understand. I am extremely grateful for your cooperation in improving the food situation. We Egyptians will never forget this kindness for the rest of our lives."

"It's not over yet, desu ~ ."

The guide thanks Noelle for her mercy and bows deeply. Seeing that his originally polite demeanor has become even more respectful, Noelle smiles wryly.

"No, I have to go to arrange for more manpower, so I can't stay with you anymore, so I have to thank you in advance. You will have to wait here until someone takes my place, but is that okay?"

The guide asks Noelle while looking at the plants that are already bearing fruit.

"Understood, desu. Ah, I forgot to mention, desu, but the effect of this magic is for one month, desu. After that, it will return to a normal field, so be careful, desu."(TN:No, you said it would last one month ...)

"I understand. It's effective enough. With this, the number of hungry people will decrease significantly. Thank you very much. Well then."

Noelle originally intended to cooperate, so when she agrees, she tells him the precautions without forgetting.

After listening to the instructions, the guide nods and bows his head again, and hastily rushes to arrange for help.

After that, Noelle turned 10 hectares of land into fields, the supporters came and the seeds of crops began to be planted one after another, and bore more and more fruit, which was then harvested and collected by more supporters.

"Let's grow crops in the wilderness!! Desu!!"

Looking at the locals, Noelle smiles and says to herself.
