Chapter 18: Moruyu Grass ①
I reluctantly nodded.
“…Haa, alright. How many do you want?”
“Hmm, let’s see. At least five would be nice.”
“Five? Is there even that many?”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. They grow in clusters, so there should be that many.”
“Got it.”
“Good, good. And for each one, how about 600 oro?”
For five, that’s 3,000 oro. A rather generous price for gathering herbs.
“That much?”
“Well, well, they’re very precious, you see. Ah, right, I’ll throw in something else too.”
Suddenly, the witch stuck her head into a nearby wooden box.
Wait, wait, her skirt…!
I could see it! The black, see-through…!
Is she wearing that as casual wear? Is she even a witch!? A witch indeed!
Trying not to look, I focused on the rustling sounds as she dug around and pulled something out.
“This is?”
She placed it on the table. A round, leather… water bottle?
It had a large crescent moon drawn on it, though it was dirty.
“This? This was a water bottle that Con used to carry and still has.”
Con is the witch’s self-referred name, probably because she’s a fox.
“It looks old.”
It must be decades old.
“Well, well, it is an old thing. But, it’s quite remarkable.”
“The water bottle?”
“Yes, yes, it has a water purification function built in.”
“Water purification!?”
“Heh, heh, surprised, huh? This water bottle is legendary.”
“Legendary…!?”
I was genuinely surprised.

A year ago.
When I was selling the junkyard haul to Arifa as usual, I suddenly had a question.
“There’s something called Legacy, right?”
“Mm? What about it?”
“What’s ‘Legendary’?”
“Ah, that’s something you should know if you’re going to be an explorer.”
“Yes.”
“First, Legacy is a term for items with effects like Relics. You understand that, right?”
“Yes.”
In modern terms, these are like magical items.
“Legacies come in three types: consumable, reusable, and permanent.”
“Yes, I know.”
“The permanent type is called Legendary.”
“The permanent ones are called Legendary?”
“That’s right.”
“Why do only the permanent ones have a different name?”
“Permanent types are extremely rare, so they’re considered precious. That’s why they’re called Legendary. The most famous one is the ‘Crescent Vessel.'”
“Legendary items are that hard to come by?”
“Impossible to obtain. If you did find one… well, you could easily buy five shops like this antique store.”
“That much?”
“Yes, a Legendary item is worth that much.”
“…………”
I was genuinely amazed.
—
“…What?”
“Oh my, what’s wrong?”
“I mean, a Legendary…”
“Yes, yes. That water bottle is Legendary. It has a water purification function.”
“That’s incredibly valuable… and you’re offering it as a reward?”
Ad
“Yes, yes. Con doesn’t need it anymore.”
“A Legendary item?”
“Yes, yes. Don’t worry, I’ve cleaned it properly.”
“Well, that’s…”
“Oh my, you’d rather I didn’t clean it?”
“No, that’s not it!”
Why is this witch smirking like that?
“Giving away such a valuable item so easily is…”
“Hmm, hmm. This Legendary item isn’t something Con plans to use anymore. So, Con thought it would be best to give it to you, my promising disciple, Wof.”
“Th-Thank you… Wait, did you just say something?”
“And also, Wof, don’t you want a Legendary item?”
“Eh, I do want it, but are you sure I can really have it?”
“Mm-hmm. Of course, of course. It’s all yours. However, the condition is that you bring back the Moryu Grass.”
“Understood. I’ll definitely bring it back.”
“Good, good. I’m grateful.”
Ad
“Now, please tell me the location and characteristics of the Moryu Grass.”
“Hmm, hmm. I’ll give you a map and an illustration.”
She had clearly prepared them in advance.
The witch handed me a piece of parchment that was folded in two.
“Well then, I’ll be off.”
“Take care now.”
The task of gathering the Moryu Grass begins.
