"Hey, Kyle. You got here early."

"Your brother Ars is faster, though. That's great. You've already brought up the site of the Holy City.

"Because the Kaiser Valkyrie was there. It didn't take long."

"I see. Thanks for the Kaiser Valkyrie, too.

"Cuey."

　The transference magic circle set up at the site of the Holy City in the sky reacted, and Kyle appeared there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are many others with Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, they were Kyle's new subordinates who had gathered at such short notice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if all of these hundreds of people were gathered on short notice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if all of them were gathered in a hurry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You've already got all these people, Kyle."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. It was also the day I was taking Charlotte to see Mr. Garrod. I knew a lot of people in Fontana. So I went around talking to people and quickly gathered a group of people who were willing to come with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm. But you know what? The people you gather also have their own characteristics.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I guess so. I guess most of the people who follow me are rather quiet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"And you're okay with that, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. I think I can handle it. My brother Ars has been helping me out so far, so I'm sure I'll be fine."

　Look at the faces of the people with Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now, there are those who were in the city of Fontana and those who have come from Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know them all, but many of them I have seen before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But most of them were more of the civilian type.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or, to put it another way, they were not the sons of nobles or knights, but were of civilian descent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess Kyle's magic has something to do with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if a person becomes a knight under the Reed family, who has no direct offensive magic, and is given the family name, it does not mean that he will be able to use offensive magic himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Furthermore, since Kyle has not been named by the Fontana family, he will not be able to use magic such as [Ice Spear] or [Summon Ice Spirit].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the sons of the knights would not have followed Kyle, even though the Reeds would have gained a new territory and would be without a core group of vassals.

　If it had been a bight brother, perhaps the children of nobles, knights, and other privileged families would have followed him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this does not mean that people did not come to Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rather, it was only a few days ago that we discussed and decided to cut off the site of the Holy City and the surrounding area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle's subordinate who was not here at that time is now here with Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle has been leading Fontana's army as a general and has never been defeated by anyone in actual or simulated battles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Except for the fact that he has no offensive magic, he is considered worthy enough to follow us and take part in the territory carving.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many of the people who came here were peasants and townspeople who studied hard at schools and hoped to rise in the ranks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Usually, a person who played an active role on the battlefield was taken up by a knight as a squire, and then the squire worked hard under the knight and was finally recognized as a new knight or not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Breaking with this conventional wisdom, if one studied hard enough, one could be given magic and be given a job managing a territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this time, he has come forward because of the possibility of becoming an executive of the Reed family, which will start as a new noble domain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The people here are civilian types, but they are all full of motivation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure they will work well for Kyle.

"And who is that woman over there, Brother Ars?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah, I'm late in introducing you. This is Archbishop Miglia, also known as the Blue Saint. She works for the people living in the devastated suburbs of the Holy City. This time, she asked us to help her in her quest for the revival of this land. From now on, we are expected to unite with this saint to revive this land. I'm counting on you, Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. I see. I understand, brother Ars. My Lady Mirialia, my name is Kyle Reed. I have come here at your request through my brother Ars Valka. I look forward to working with you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"My name is Miglia. It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kyle Reed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From Kyle's point of view, it must have looked as if I had traveled south on a magic airship and found myself there with a woman I didn't know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least, the existence of Milliaria was not even on the agenda of our discussion the other day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he understood the situation as soon as he heard what I said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle quickly and tactfully addresses the group.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Seeing Kyle's quick thinking, Mirialia's face seems to have calmed down a little, perhaps relieved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So. The saint's main concern is the restoration of this devastated dead land. We can't proceed with our story until we restore this land where crops can no longer grow due to the salt damage. So you're going to have to do something about it, Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Me?　You mean that I should just stay here and regenerate the land in front of Master Miglia?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's what I'm talking about. It's best if you actually do it right in front of me. Here it is. It's called a salt plant, and it collects salt from the soil with its roots. Use this."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, that's a salt weed you've been holding in your hand since a while ago, brother Ars. I've never seen it before."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　You know salt grass, Kyle?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. It was in Mr. Meme's report on plant knowledge at the Wise Men's Conference. As I recall, it's an aphrodisiac, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, really?　An aphrodisiac?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Brother Ars, you didn't know?　I thought it was a miracle plant kept by the Church and the royal family of Doren, and the salt herb was supposed to be the ingredient of a potion that would make even the most long-lived apostles of God healthy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Seriously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought it was something more dangerous than that, but it seems to be a rather mundane thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I guess that's possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An apostle of God who has lived for more than a few hundred years may become mentally old even if his body does not deteriorate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Was it meant to be a medicine that would enable such an apostle of God to have a child?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or perhaps it is an aphrodisiac, a medicine that has been properly controlled and formulated to eliminate any danger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, whatever. At any rate, this salt grass has the effect of recovering salt from the soil. This should help to stop the salt damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir. Then let's do it here for now. Spirit, please. I'd like to see more salt grass on this former site of the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, at any rate, we started to regenerate the land using the salt grass.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, this salt grass is effective in removing salt from the ground, but it does not grow in large quantities.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, according to what Mirialia had told us, we had to collect the sparse saltgrass for the time being, but not all of it, and increase the number of saltgrass to eliminate the salt damage over a period of several years, or even longer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But with Kyle, we don't have to wait that long.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because Kyle had made a contract with a spirit in the northern forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The spirit is a wood nymph, and it is no exaggeration to say that she can do anything about plants.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle commands the wood nymph to grow salt grass on the site of the holy city floating in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The wood nymph, which looked like a ball of light, came out of Kyle's body and touched the salt grass that I handed to him once, and then went down to the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then it glowed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The light was a soft green.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A gentle green light, calming in the still darkness of the late night, spread out around us, starting from the wood nymph.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And on the soil where the light reached, there grew grass that had not been there before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were all salt grass.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, the salt contained in the soil that had been contaminating the former site of the Holy City was recovered in no time through Kyle's spirit magic, as the salt grass grew and grew.
