Chapter 4: The Effects of Madam Bumpkin’s Magic

It was raining on the day of the manabeast extermination. Underneath the thick, heavy clouds, Lord Nazel, the students, and I gathered in the schoolyard.

All right, now’s the time! Reinforcement magic go! I secretly cast my magic on all the students present.

Paul and Ryuk were also here, both nervous. Ryuk had the air of someone who didn’t want to be here, but his father had apparently ordered him to participate, whether he liked it or not. He looked unenthusiastic and somewhat dejected.

We’re still dealing with the big hopper problem, so Viscount Simble hasn’t been informed about Ryuk’s future work plans yet. Once the manabeast extermination was over, we’d have the time for that.

“You stay inside the school building, Agnes. We’ll split into groups and exterminate the manabeasts.”

“Yes, Lord Nazel. Please be careful!”

Lord Nazel hugged me gently.

“I can’t say if it’s a good or bad thing, but the location I’ll be headed to is nearby, so I’ll be fine. Take care of yourself and don’t worry about a thing,” he said.

He gave me a peck on the cheek before he and the students got atop their mountbeasts and took flight. The students of Masroono National School could ride mountbeasts, after all. Incidentally, unlike the other students, Paul flew on his own with Ryuk in his arms.

Oh my, Paul has gotten even better at flying. He’s faster now.

After seeing them off, I let out a short sigh and went back into the school building. Kelly and Torre, who’d also stayed behind, looked at me with concern.

“I can’t shake off my anxiety, but I’ll do what I can.” After parting with Lord Nazel and the rest, I headed to the history laboratory to ask them the results of our recent discussion. I’d told them I’d be visiting in advance, so I could enter even without Ryuk this time.

“Greetings, Lady Agnes. We have finished looking into the matter at hand. There weren’t any similar documents, but when we checked the materials we’d gathered from around Polpystan, we confirmed that the purple land depicts what is now southern Polpystan. It’s currently a desert, but it’s not like no plants at all can grow there. We hypothesized that the soil is recovering little by little.”

“Oh, thank you so much. If the land can recover over time, the desert will also go back to normal eventually, right?”

“Yes, though it will likely take an extensive amount of time.”

The researcher’s assessment sounded reasonable. According to the hypothesis Lord Nazel and I had come up with, there was a high chance Sutrena had been in the same state in the past.

Our theory’s becoming more and more credible. Plants could grow in Sutrena, but not crops. The soil had surely not recovered fully yet. It was overwhelming to imagine the many years or decades it would take until edible plants could grow there again.

“In any case, keeping the current big hopper outbreak at bay is the most sensible choice,” the researcher said.

“I agree. I hope the damage doesn’t spread any further.
