CH 98

However, on the upper continent, it was rapidly depleted when the underground dungeon ran out of control and a massive outbreak of monsters occurred. It is said that air mana is on the decline worldwide.

As a result, people have begun to use magic in their bodies but the output is much lower. The number of people who do not have magic power is increasing among the human race(Newts). Riito, on the other hand, did not experience those difficulties because he was born with a considerable amount of magic power in his body.

「Haa, that feels good…..」

Putting small details aside, a space filled with air mana is comfortable and healing.

“I wish there was a water source like this in Togen village”…Riito mused.

「Feels great desuuu….wa wah!?」

Frau, who soaked her feet in the cold water pond, shuddered.

The flower on Frau’s hair, which will be in full bloom when she’s happy or excited, bloomed! The flowers on her head even made sounds when blooming.

「Wa? Wawa?」

Frau smiled shyly.

「This, perhaps it’s the effect of air mana….」

「Information. Air mana has the effect of strengthening the life force of living creatures.」

「Well, this would be perfect for cherry blossom viewing.」

「Adel-san, please don’t stare at Frau’s flowers～」

「Fufu, sorry」

Frau and Adel are playing with each other in a friendly manner.

Next to them, Riito found something.

The pond is only around the size of a double bed – one size bigger than the single bed in Riito’s hut.

It was also only deep enough for Frau’s feet to touch the bottom. Though there seems to be a deeper part.

Right, something’s there.

There is a big rock lying there and there is some kind of emblem carved on it.

「Adel, is that the emblem you said you found?」

「Ah, yes! That’s right desu wa, Riito-sama.」

「I don’t think it originates from humans.」

Or at least it’s not language or magic crest that has been transmitted to the present day.

However, he felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

「….where did I see that….」

「As expected of Riito-sama desu! Do you know anything about it!?」

「Yeah, I mean no, I can’t remember….」

He plans to ask Mama to look into it next time to check if she can find any information.
