The next day, I received a text message from Kayo and her sisters at lunchtime at school. It was about the next town in EO. The point is that it's not fair for me to go alone. There are a lot of people who want to go to the next town if they are told that. The guy from Kaito was also pestering me to take him with me in the morning, but players who aren't summoners won't be going to Freetia in the first place.

In the meantime, Ruin and the rest of the production staff seems to be curious about it too. Their goal is items of other races. I've heard that there are items with special abilities, or items like Hephaistos that could interact with other races.

Therefore, only Hephaistos will accompany Freetia. I'm not sure how much money I'll be able to pay for the first contract, but I've paid for the ride to the freetia. He looked very sorry about it, but if you think of it as an upfront investment, there's nothing wrong with that.

School is over and it's time for the game. We immediately logged in and everyone headed to the Adventurer's Guild.

We'll use a carriage to get around. Surprisingly, I saw my first horse in this game. I tried to see if I could identify it, but I couldn't. You can't summon a horse...too bad. I think it would be awesome and useful if they were there. I've been traveling on foot to get to my destination so far, so my travel speed would be much faster if I used a horse. I'd like to have one someday.

We got into the carriage and the carriage left for Freetia, the land of the free. We went through the grasslands at the beginning and entered the forest of young trees, but so far no monster attacks. According to the story, this carriage has a special ward to keep the monsters away from it.

It doesn't work on Garbera Glow, but I heard that it's safe because it's contracted to pass through. Then we meet Garbera Glow. It looks like Garbera Glow is passing through, but is this correct?

What do you mean?　What's this?

'Why is Garbella Glow blocking the road?

It's like a crazy situation for the drivers. We're not going to get into a fight or anything here, are we? I don't usually win... and then Gerberagrow is crunching his mouth... what's this? I don't mean to sound hostile, but...

Tact, will you fight?

Lilly's going to ask me. Well, what do we do now...

'Wait!　Mr. Takut!　This boy has no will to fight!

Setia?　What's wrong with you?

'I heard this boy's voice. He wants to speak to Master Takht.

You want to talk about it? This plant? And you said you heard voices...

Do you think Setia will be able to talk to that guy?

I think I can do it. I'm going out for a minute!

With that said, Setia gets out of the carriage and talks to Gerberaglow.

Seriously....I didn't know you had this kind of power...is your suspicious skill the knowledge of an elf? How many skills do you have packed into that thing? This skill...

As I'm thinking about this, Setia ends the conversation and returns.

'What did Gerberaglow say?'

Well, the thing is...

Hmm? Why are you smiling?

Mr. Garberaglow would like to try some of Mr. Tact's homemade food.

......... Yes?

'Wait a minute, how could that happen?'

'After seeing Tact-sama always cooking something that smelled so good in the forest, and seeing the forest monsters and Lily's sisters eating it so well, he wanted to eat it himself.

Oh, yeah. I have too many ideas. But actually, though, the food situation isn't very good. We do have boer meat and salt, but...

'Well, since you're bothering me, why don't I make you something?　Just in case you have a request?

'Yes!　...... Hmmmmm, eh!　It's...

What's the problem?

What's going on?

Well, he wants to try that honey dish Mr. Tact made the other day.

'So the food you made when Chess arrived...Lily reacts to the words.

'What?　That's Lily's cooking.

Yeah. Lily liked the food the other day.

"So what can I do?　They won't let me go on like this, you know.

But...

I'll make it for you if you have the right ingredients, but you'll have to be patient today.

After managing to convince Lily, she tries to cook, but the place is in a forest full of greenery, is it safe to use a fire in a place like this?

'Setia. Can you ask if it's safe to start a fire here?

'Oh, that certainly sounds bad. I'll ask him.

When Setia asked Gerberagrow about it, suddenly the grass and trees moved, exposing the ground in one spot. More tree tendrils brought in stones and dead wood. Great....the guardian god of this forest? I quickly build a fire and start cooking. I made a fire and started cooking, and when I gave it to Garbera Glow, she munched on it.

Now, let's see what happens...

Garbella Glow approaches me as I finish eating my meal. Quickly, Lily and Ion try to step forward to protect me, but I stop them.

But up close it's big... about 4 meters... it's scary as hell. As I was thinking this, I heard a man's voice say, "My wish has come true.

I thank you for making my wish come true. I give you the blessing of the forest to thank you.

Gerberagrow grows a vine, and a green light falls on me from the vine. And the info plays.

'We have received a blessing from Gerbera Glow. I have earned the title 'Blessing of the Young Tree Forest'.

What? ! I got a title! I'm sorry for scaring you. It's a nice plant! Let's find out what it is right away.

The title "Blessing of the Young Tree Forest
Effectiveness: it allows for plant identification.
A title that can be earned by being blessed by Gerbera Glow of the Young Tree Forest.

When I'm thanking him, I hear his voice again.

"Happy journey.

Then the vines that were blocking the path disappear into the forest, allowing me to pass. Garbella Glow will also leave me. When you get a gift, you have to say something right.

'Great young forest guardian of the forest, O great young tree. We thank you for your blessings.

I thank him and return to the carriage. No, even the monsters have to thank me. The last thing I expected was for the carriage to go all the way to Freetia, the land of the free.
