The Strongest Prophet Who Had Trained 100 Heroes Is Admired By His Apprentices Around The World Even As An Adventurer Chapter 12

After having breakfast at the Alchemists Atelier, we left the atelier and went around the city to have some adventure (sightseeing) before we reached the rooftop.

It's the rooftop of the Alchemists Atelier.

When I asked a staff member at the atelier if there were any higher place to look over the city and its surroundings, they showed us the rooftop of the atelier. This was all made possible thanks for Yurika who treated us like special guests.

I must thank her later, I thought as I looked over the scenery.

「Wow, what a beautiful scenery.」

「Yes. It's quite peaceful.」

Pioneer City was a city surrounded with greenery because it was built from the ruins that they developed into fertile lands.[1]

「I think there's a branch of Magic University around here.」

As I looked around, I sighted something far in the south. A tall building with pure white exteriors was seen far from this city. Schools where magic is being taught is usually located in the suburbs or with a bit od distance away from the city. This is because people in these kind of schools perform magic experiments and so wide s.p.a.ce is necessary.

「It's a very large school that you can even see it far from here.」

「Yeah, it's because of the farms and residential areas along the way that despite being located far from the cith, the building itself is quite visible.」

Beyond those school buildings is the woods but those buildings are obviously way larger than the trees that grow there. Even though it's just a branch school, it seems to be quite large.

「So Mel-san is over there.」

Rinne looked like she was having fun glancing over the branch school.

「Yeah, I think you've read it before in the letters but Mel is a very good magician and now it seems she's working hard as a University President.」

Even from the moment I started teaching her as my apprentice, Mel was already able to use magic for a long time and is quite intelligent. Though she have a weakness in firepower, we were able to fix it at last and she became a witch.

「I'll have to introduce you to her later.」

Rinne stood blinking at my words.

「Eh? Is it fine to introduce me? Even if they haven't known about my name, sensei said I'm his new a.s.sistant, right? But everyone thinks I'm your new apprentice, I don't think I would be up to that task.」

「Hmm, I've certainly said you're my apprentice.」

I've sent them a letter saying that I've had a new apprentice however, I haven't given any specific introductions about her.

「I hope you'd take this opportunity to meet them. You can build a good rapport and it won't hurt you making some friendly connections.」

Rinne nodded and looked at my direction.

「Thank you for your advice, Eisen-sensei… If that's the case, I'd be very grateful if you could introduce me to your apprentices.」

「I'm glad to hear that.」

In the middle of our conversation, the bell at the center of the city began to ring. Turning to the direction of the sounds, I saw some people ringing the small bell on top of the building of the Global Guild.

「So this is… the afternoon bell?」

「So those are the bells. I've read it on the letters that they would ring the bells at 12 o'clock in Pioneer City.」

I looked over the watch⸺one of the items I've brought from of the Other World.

(It's certainly time for lunch.)

「Hmm. It seems we spent a lot of time roaming around the city.」

It's a big city so of course time would pa.s.s by quickly if you go around on foot.

「Anyway, it's time to eat lunch… should we eat in the guild again? The food they serve there were very delicious.」

「You're right. There's some dishes you can only eat in this city's guild.」

Each city have their own local specialties and I really want to taste them before leaving this city. We head off to the guild while thinking about those food.

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

In the afternoon, I had lunch in the guild's restaurant with Rinne.

「This fruit juice is delicious.」

「It's one of Pioneer City's local specialties and it's said the same for this meat.」

We asked the owner for the recommended local specialties of Pioneer City and all of these food are really delicious. You could also say that the ingredients themselves were delicious.

(I'm really glad I came to this city.)

Though this is my first journey and this is the first city I've visited⸺for me, to be able to enjoy things such as sipping some tea after a meal in different places, is the appeal of a journey.

「Ah⸺! I knew it was you two!」

A woman came running to our direction quickly.

「It's a good thing… You two are still in the city!」

「Aren't you… Khatisan, the receptionist from the other day?」

She had the look of relief in her face. It was Khatia, the woman who took care of our transactions the other day.

「Yes, it's Khatia. It's been while, Eisen-san.」[2]

「Yeah, it's been a while, what's the matter?」

「Well, I saw you two from the back of the counter and rush over here… You see, I have come to ask for your help…」

「So what's this matter that you're asking for our help?」

Is it that such a serious request that she would ask these guys who just recently became adventurers? Khatia groaned as she hear people whisper around them.

「Actually, there was a spirit of wind going on a rampage on the farmlands in between the Magic University and Pioneer City. However, as you know, spirits are beings that only magicians and spirits related job cla.s.s can deal with… that's why, I urgently ask for your help!」

Although there are different kinds of spirits, there are many spirits that can't be dealt with sharp weapons like swords nor can they be beaten. This is probably the case.

「It must be turning into a terrible disaster if you're asking for an urgent action.」

「Yes, the farms and orchards were about to be ravaged by tornadoes. There were also some students who goes to Magic University that was blown away for so many times. Although they weren't injured, if this keeps going on it won't be long before they'll be in a dangerous situation.」

「You're right. This is a serious predicament.」

According to the letters, some of the good crops are being harvested on those farms of Magic University. There's also an orchard in the forest near the farms, where you can eat delicious fruit.

(And these are exactly the ingredients of the food that I ate in this restaurant.)

The letter states that these products were the local specialties from the delicious crops that Pioneer City harvested on the ruins that they turned into fertile lands. This is also why I decided to eat these foods.

(Speaking of which, Mel sent me letters about them too.)

There are some children in the Magic University which she personally taught to some excellence⸺I can see how much fun she was having from the way she composed her letter. It won't be nice if those children she was so proud of to get hurt and those local specialties to be destroyed.

That's why I⸺

「Khatisan, is there anything we can do to help them?」

「Yes! Because both Eisen-sama and Rinne-sama are Rank C, I have written this as a quest for the two of you!」

That explains it. Well, it's not a problem for me.

「We'll take your request then, Khatisan.」

「Yes, I'll help with sensei too!」

「Thank you very much, both of you. Then, please follow me this way. This time around, I'll be explaining thoroughly about the quest and accompany you two to the area.」

With a party composed of a Magician and a Spirit Magician, we we're given a quest for the first time by Khatia who also lead the way further at the back of the guild.

1. Pioneer City was actually a literal name to this developed city.
2. Khatia will call Eisen later as ‘Eisen-sama' so she's interchanging from her informal to formal business tone
