Although Yudit gave me holy water using the holy water generation skill, I know how it is made, and I can also get holy water from Monica.
Immediately after Monica obtained the holy water generation skill, we asked Nina to use it to strengthen the weapons and armor, but now we have no particular use for it, and for now we just have it stored in a container outside the house for Monica’s exclusive use.
However, I couldn’t let the young Yudit’s gratitude go to waste, so I decided to find a way to make use of it.
“Yudit. You said that holy water can be used to ward off monsters, but what should I do with it?”
“I’m sorry. I know that you can make a ward with holy water, but I don’t know how to make it.”
If the monster ward that Yudit mentioned was effective against the Shadow Wolves, then we could let the dolls expand the wall.
I thought so, but unfortunately, Yudit didn’t know how to make it.
“Oh, Fiine knows how to do that! It’s in one of the spell skills that Ms. Shelly taught me.”
“Yeah. But I don’t think there’s any use in warding monsters away, so I haven’t told you about it until now ……”
“That’s not true. It is very useful for exploring underground and as a counter-measure against monsters on the surface! I’ve always wanted an item like this!”
Suddenly, Fiine told me she knew how to make it, but she had said too much in front of Yudit, so I hurried to follow up.
Well, actually, as Fiine said, we don’t use monster ward in the underground caves to get demon meat, and the surface is protected by a stone wall, so it’s not that necessary.
“Then, I’ll take your holy water, Yudit. There are two types of spells to ward off monsters: spells that last for a long time but cannot be stored, and spells like medicines that have a short effect after use but can be stored.”
“Then, I think I’ll go for the latter, the medicine that can be stored.”
“Okay! For Ms. Monica’s holy water …….”
“Ahem! Fiine. First, try to make it with the holy water that Yudit gave.”
“Yes! I’ll go make some!”
Fiine …… I would appreciate it if you could read the situation a little more.
I’ll have to tell Monica later not to talk about holy water in front of Yudit.
Then I wanted to see how well Yudit could fly, so we all went outside.
“Well, I’m going to try flying for a bit.”
With that, Yudit flapped her wings and her body rose lightly in the air.
“Oh, it’s amazing that you can fly.”
As it is, I look up at Yudit …… and hurriedly turn my face away.
Yudit was summoned naked, and although she was given a skirt to wear for the time being, she was not wearing any underwear …… so I apologized to her in my heart.
After a little while, Yudit comes down slowly and looks puzzled.
“Alex. I looked at it from above, but there’s nothing around here, is there?”
“That’s right. In case you’re wondering, the nearest town seems to be to the south–on the other side, and now I’m thinking of stretching the wall towards that direction, but ……”
“Over there? I didn’t see anything from up there, you know? Maybe it’s too far away? Anyway, I saw what looked like a village over there to the east.”
“What!? To the east!? …… Outside of this wall!?”
“Yeah. I think there was a large lake and some houses near it.”
Tabitha said there was nothing in any direction, but the closest town was to the south.
However, Yudit said there was a small village to the east.
It was probably so small that even the Adventurers’ Guild was unaware of it, but rather than aiming for a town so far south that we could not see it from the sky, we might as well go to the village to the east, which we could see for the first time.
The main purpose of going to the city is to bring Lydia and other enslaved people back home, but we might be able to get some information in that village, or there might be a carriage to the city.
“I understand. We have been exploring south, but now we are going to change course. Let’s see if the charms I’m going to have Fiine make are effective against the shadow wolves, and then we’ll head east to the village!”
Fortunately, the eastern side of the area where the dolls live is more extended than the south, so we decided to expand the eastern area as it is.
…… There is a possibility that the number of dolls will increase in the future too, after all.
