Spirit’s Paradise Chapter 3

My skills seem to be quite good. With these skills maybe I can escape from this rocky mountain.

“Hey, Sylphy. If I use these skills maybe I can get off the rocky mountain, but how long will it take to get to where people live?”

“Oh, Let’s see … If nothing happens, normal people might take about a hundred days of walking, but for Yuuta it might take more because your level is low ”

” … Maybe I heard you wrong, can you please say it again ”

” One hundred days ”

it seems that it was not mistaken. I do not understand the meaning Of a hundred days. How far is that? If it is Japan, it’s like going from Hokkaido to Kyushu? There is a sea on the way. Moreover, if it is me because my level is too low so it might take more time. May I cry?

“Well, If it that far then my food won’t last, can I get something to eat on the way?”

“Food… There is nothing to eat in this land. If you walk by the beach maybe you can get food from the sea? ”

” Sea! Can I get a ride if a ship passes by? ”

“impossible. Ship don’t pass in the first place and in the Land of Death, there is no food or minerals. Only a harsh environment, and it’s a long way around to pass by the Land of Death. There are also strong monsters in the sea so it is dangerous, and there is no one that is going to take such way”

What is that, I was in a good mood thinking that I got a nice cheat ability, but the environment is so harsh

“Um, so in order to go to the place where people live, I have to walk one hundred days while taking a detour to the ocean to get some food?”

“… That will be the case. If your magical power goes up I’ll sign a contract and take you, but the death land is also a hard environment for monsters, so there are lots of special monsters and it’s tough. ”

Special monsters, It sounds unpleasant.

“Is contracting with the sleeping Little Girl spirit useless?”

“Lower spirits can carry you if it for short distance, but it is difficult to fly for a long time’

I can feel some malignant being sent to this place. A 100 hundred days trip … … Most likely my heart will break.

“What is the Land of Death in the first place?”

“It is a barren ground that makes about two-thirds of this continent. A long time ago people fought against each other and caused destruction, causing spirits to be unable to live on this land anymore. Humans are the worst, as they are still fighting even after all this. ”

” Are humans still fighting in wars? ”

” Yes, seeking new land, frequent warfares are still happening”

What is that? so even if I went to the trouble and managed to arrive at human’s place it might be in a war? Only bad information keeps increasing.

“Hmm? Sylphy and the Little Girl spirit are all right being in the Land of Death?”

“We are the spirits of the wind because the wind blows over to the Land of Death. we are all right, but even if we are here this land still won’t revive”

it’s okay for spirits of the wind but because other spirits can’t live here, is that why it’s the Land of Death? Well, I do not want to go places where wars are intense. I have convenient skills in my cultivating tools, so is one of the options to live here?

“Sylphy, will you cooperate if I use the cultivating tool’s skills to live in the Land of Death?”

“It looks interesting, but it’s not a place that you can live in easily, and without a contract, I can’t lend you any power ”

“Being my talking partner is enough. This is in case I am forced to live for 100 days in the Land of Death, so it would be easier for me to raise my level while making a base for me to live. and after we sign a contract Will you take me to where people live? ”

“I don’t mind that, if so let me advise, arrange an environment where spirits can live, and I will call spirit making it more comfortable because the surroundings of the place where the spirit can live become comfortable. ”

” If so, people of this world should be cultivating the Land of Death, why they don’t? ”

“There were attempts to do so, but the humans who tried can’t communicate with spirits, so even if they struggled and cultivated the land it will be useless if spirits don’t live in it , and even if they did it and it becomes good, other countries will target it so defending it will be troublesome  … …That is why the results are that there is hardly any development”

It’s like a closed circle. so unless they unified, cultivating is impossible?

“Well, in my case if I can arrange the environment, Sylphy will call a spirit, so if I try hard, I will be fine”

“Well, I guess that’s true.”

“I’ve decided. I have a lot of convenient skills so I will make a comfortable living space on the land of death, first of all for the sake of food gathering, let’s go to the sea”

I still have a considerable amount of food, but it is precious Japanese food. I have to cherish it. If I just had I bought a large amount of miso or soy sauce …. it might have worked somehow. Anyway soy sauce one litre bottle and instant miso soup, I bought a big bag so that saved me , but morning miso soup and miso soup at night and natto miso soup  … if I don’t cherish it, it will all run out very fast.

“First you need to get off from this rocky mountain. how will you do that ?”

that’s right. First of all, it is to escape from the rocky mountain.

“Digging rocks with magical shovel, and store the rocks in the magical bag.”

“I can only cheer, but do your best,”

I take out the magic shovel and start digging from the edge of the cliff. When inserting the magical shovel on the ground, it just passes through like it’s nothing. It really looks like a pudding.

I do not feel the weight on the handle, and I do not feel the weight even if the scoop is filled with rock. Moreover, with the shovel and storage just digging the rocks and storing them. It’s very convenient.

Digging rocks and storing, just repeating this. It is quite easy because it can be dug up without much effort. However, because I haven’t done much exercise, just repeating the action of digging the rocks with the shovel makes me feel tired.

The Little Girl spirit who woke up from her nap flew around and cheered me

“Do your best “.

I feel healed somehow.

… … The Little Girl spirit who was cheering me flew away somewhere. ………I feel lonely.

I continued digging the rocks while having a break in between. There are only two bottles of tea, meaning only two litres to drink. I shouldn’t have bought just alcohol. I managed to reach the ground After 3 hours. my arms and waist are hurting me.

“Good Work”

“Good Work”

“Ahaha. I’m really tired. I will head to the sea after a short break.”

if I don’t train it will be dangerous, as the level rises my physical strength will also rise, so maybe the efficiency is higher if I level up first.

“The day will end soon, wouldn’t it be better to prepare to take a rest?”

That’s true. The sun goes down even in different world. Thanks to the words of Sylphy I remembered that. I had intended to keep calm, but it seems that my head is not working so well.

“What should I do ?”

There are many things to do in order to make a camp, but I don’t have the tools for that.

“Well, if you have food, you should first secure a safe place to sleep. You don’t want to be attacked by monsters while you are asleep, right?”

“Yeah”

She says that while swinging her fingers to the side. She seems to have fun teaching people. A beautiful woman teacher … I would like it if she wore a suit and glasses. the Little Girl spirit is also imitating her and swing her fingers to the left and right, but I do not know how to react.

“That’s right … I will dig a cave in the rocky mountain”

I take out the magic shovel again and dig a hole in the rocky mountain. 20 minutes later I managed to make a space that I can rest in somehow. Then I took out the magical saw, and cut out rock of the same size. This is for the entrance of the cave and then store it in the magical bag. Well, I wanted wood, but trees don’t grow in here, and neither does grass. Land of Death it’s a scary place.

“What about Sylphy and the Little Girl spirit? It might be small, but we can manage to get in the three of us”

” it’s okay, we can rest anywhere. If we want, we can just melt into the wind, so do not worry ”

As expected from spirits, I do not know what it means to melts into the wind. What will happen if the wind is not blowing?

” Oh, if that so then I have a lot of things I want to ask you, so can you accompany me for a little more?”

“Okay!”

” Wow!”

“Uh … … thank you.”

When I thanked them, the little girl nods … … Sylphy is smiling bitterly.

“First of all I would like you to tell me how to use life magic, do you know?”

“Yes, I know. It’s easy if you have magical power, so you can remember it immediately”

Can I use magic easily? I’m getting excited.

“Teach me, please ”

“Place a finger on the place you want magic to materialize at and cast a spell while imagining. The Simplest is seed firelight ball. Seed firelight ball is a small fire, and it’s image is a sparkling light ”

While saying that Sylphy cast magic, on her fingertips small lights appear. It’s quite simple. fire or light spells are kinda too ordinary.

“But Sylphy is the spirit of the wind, and you can use fire magic,”

“Great Spirit of the Wind,  life magic can be used by anyone with magical powers, even spirits. Well I do not have opportunities to use it. Anyway now you try it ”

“Yeah, that’s right … I will try … imagine …… seeds fire”

I cast the spell then a little fire appeared little away from my fingertips.

“Oh, it’s a fire, it’s magic, I’ve used magic …it’s amazing, I’m a wizard, I’m a mage.”

Suddenly I feel a calm and warm gaze from Sylphy. It was embarrassing.

“Amazing ”

the Little Girl spirit started rolling around in the air while imitating me. It’s embarrassing. I somehow managed to calm down the Little Girl spirit, and I learned life magic which is a little difficult to imagine.

Especially the magic of cleaning, it saved me. The image is difficult, but my clothes and body become clean. Well, the bath is more comfortable, so if I can afford, I definitely want to make a bath.

“Thank you, I was saved.”

“It was interesting for me too, so you should not mind it .anyway we are going now, Yuuta too, you better take a rest. we will guide you to the sea tomorrow.”

“Thank you. Please take care of me again tomorrow.”

after separating from the Sylphy, I entered the cave, and lied down after taking out the rock that I cut from the magical bag and placing them before the entrance. There are various things I wanted to think about, but when I lied down I felt drowsy taking over me it impossible to fight it anymore. Good night.
