CHAPTER 327: CHAPTER 35 - EXPERIENCE NEEDED...

Seeing the changes in my Yurification System blessing, I tried to understand the meaning behind this transparent white screen.

Based on my understanding of the few words written on this transparent white screen, I can only understand that the blessing from the Goddess of Nature cannot be used, because I have not saved the Elf race from something that is threatening them.

I tilted my head at this and tried to find an answer.

[ No need to be so serious, Lily-chan. ]

[ You need to do something that will free them from a curse that is causing their Sacred Tree of Life to die. ]

[ By completing the Quest request from the Goddess of Nature, Lily-chan can use the Goddess of Nature’s blessing for Lily-chan’s benefit. ]

Why does that sound so easy coming from my own Goddess?

I know this is a difficult task to do, because it is related to the dying Sacred Tree of Life of the Elf race. It sounds more like my Goddess has made a deal with the Goddess of Nature to help one of her main worshippers.

[ The Goddess Aurora: Oh, wow, even Lily-chan has grown up knowing this kind of thing of yours. ]

[ Ssshhh... be quiet. Don’t open the card I’ve saved! ]

It seems, what I’ve been thinking has come true. My Goddess has been making some behind-the-scenes arrangements to help the Goddess of Nature followers who is facing a catastrophic crisis at their Sacred Tree of Life.

I didn’t think about this issue that seriously, but after my Goddess made a deal with the Goddess of Nature behind the scenes, I will be more serious about this.

As best I can, I will try to resolve the plight of the Elf race. Whether they will ally with Marquess Rommel’s family or not, it will be a matter for another day.

"Huufftt..."

As I walked and caught my breath, a report came from one of the scouting troops that had found a suitable place to set up a kitchen tent and prepare breakfast.

Bzzzttt...

Zzzrrrttt...

"Lily-sama, we have found a spacious area suitable for setting up a kitchen tent to carry out the breakfast cooking schedule," said someone with a report that sounded clear like this.

Seeing that the sun had risen and it was time for breakfast, I allowed the scout troops to set up the kitchen tent first and cook breakfast for the main force that was walking into the forest with me.

I will also use this opportunity to see the exploration report and set up a temporary command center tent.

"Got it, immediately set up the kitchen tent and wait for the main troops to gather," I replied while glancing at the magic circle that had mapped out almost the entire path into the dense forest.

"Yes, Lily-sama! We’ll set up the kitchen tent first and prepare food for breakfast!" he replied enthusiastically on the first day of this military expedition.

Bzzzttt...

Zzzrrrtt...

After the report was finished, I glanced at the military aides Alice and Alyssa, who had noted down several important things regarding the new things that had been discovered in this dense forest.

This important task will be evaluated in the command center tent, while enjoying a warm breakfast.

"Have you two already recorded... what the scouting troops found?" I asked Alice and Alyssa, who were busy jotting something down on Earl Timoti’s copy of the map.

"Eemm? O-Onee-sama..." Alice seemed to be having trouble recording the samples of wild animals or monsters that had been detected by the surveillance unit, making it difficult for her to answer my question.

"Is there a problem, Alice?" I asked in a gentle tone, paying attention to the problem Alice was facing.

"T-There’s no big deal. I’m just trying to adjust the scale of the map Onee-sama is using," Alice said in a tone that sounded nervous about her task.

"Just tell me if there’s any problem, I’ll try to help you. After all, I’m the one who asked you to do this," I tried to make Alice feel a little more comfortable with this particular task.

By recording wild animals or monsters in this dense forest, it will provide more accurate information to the Adventurer’s Guild and Marquess Rommel’s soldiers, who often patrol the area around the entrance to the dense forest.

With this accurate information on the map of wild animals or monsters, at least it will help them to control their population by hunting.

"I-I’m fine. Look at this, is it as Onee-sama expected?" While holding back her awkward and nervous face, Alice showed a copy of the map from Earl Timoti, which contained the points of wild animals or monsters that had been reported previously.

Then I hold a copy of the map that had been scribbled on by Alice’s pencil.

"Hmm..." I looked at her pencil scribbles carefully and realized several things about the condition of this dense forest.

Before my very eyes, a topological map drawn by Earl Timoti in winter has shown a high accuracy that matches the current spring conditions.

Suddenly, I felt inferior after seeing Earl Timoti’s abilities and his experience in estimating things.

Much like my father’s abilities, they were both incredibly discerning in their respective professions. While my father excelled at detailed and meticulous planning, Earl Timothy excelled at predicting the future simply by looking at a few pieces of information from his life experiences.

"Oh, my, this makes me look like a little girl playing around, huh?" I grumbled after seeing such a big difference in experiences.

[ Don’t be too discouraged about this, Lily-chan. ]

[ Your father can do such great things because he received direct training from the Aurora Royal Academy. ]

[ If Lily-chan wants to be someone as great as your father, then increase your experience and see what is in front of you. ]

"..." I listened carefully to my Goddess’s words.

Life experience is needed in this case, huh?

I had no idea life experiences would be that important.

[ Fufu... now Lily-chan knows, right? ]

Nod...

I nodded at my Goddess’s words and returned the copy of the map that was Alice’s responsibility.

"Thank you for your hard work, Alice."

Caress...

Caress...

While praising her, I stroked Alice’s hair and patted her as a fitting reward for her hard work.

Pat...

Pat...

Pouts...

While I was stroking and patting Alice’s hair, I suddenly felt a bad feeling from Alyssa, who was staring at me cynically.

"Lily-nee... what about me?" Alyssa asked in a sullen voice.

"Hmm? Oh, Alyssa..." I turned to Alyssa, who was showing a copy of the map she was responsible for of the dense forest plants she had discovered.

Just like the predictions made by Earl Timoti in his winter mapping, it has a high level of accuracy and has been confirmed by the scouting troops.

While some new plants need to be tested for toxicity and other effects, that would be a job left to the professionals.

"Umm... good job too, Alyssa," I complimented, noticing some areas that still had pencil marks filled with question marks.

"Um, may I ask what this question mark is about?" I said, a little curious about the question mark Alyssa was making.

"Ah! Of course, Lily-nee. This is the mark I gave to the new magical plants discovered by the scouting troops and the stealth slime herd. I’ve also given order on their samples plant a code, for further analysis using magic!" Alyssa replied excitedly.

Alyssa seemed to have gone too far in providing a code for this still-mysterious plant, it was the best way to pinpoint its location and further research.

Alyssa, who did this innovative move, has made herself happy and I given herself a special compliment.

"Alyssa, you’ve worked hard on this. I’ll help you research this new magical plant using analysis magic," I complimented her, giving her a gift that was far more appealing than the pampering touches.

"Un! I’ll be looking forward to that, Lily-nee!"

Alyssa seemed happy about this and hummed happily, while following the footsteps of the main troops who had entered the dense forest.

Graakk...

Graakk...

With the sound of the soldiers’ boots stomping as they entered the dense forest, I thought of something important about my twin sisters, who had a unique ability that only the two of them possessed.

I don’t want to lose to the two of them, who have unique qualities that are superior to mine.

Seeing the seriousness of the two of them in carrying out my orders to remap this dense forest, I felt like I was exploiting their talents for my own benefit.

The praise I gave my little sister felt inadequate, and I wanted to give them a reward that would befit both of their hard work.

[ Then, what if Lily-chan uses the direct gift sending feature that is in the Yurification System blessing? ]

Ping!!

Like a big idea flowing into my head, my Goddess’s words seemed to answer my anxiety about wanting to give a gift directly to my twin sisters.

"Using the features of the Yurification System blessing, huh?"

"It’s worth a try..."

I mumbled in a low voice and said something embarrassing like before.

"Sigh... For the sake of Goddess Yuri..." With that weak tone, I summoned the transparent white screen from the Yurification System blessing and looked for a direct gift sending feature.

My hand, which was holding the magic staff, moved to look for a suitable gift in the Yurification Shop section.

"Oh my Goddess, it seems like you have added something else to the Yurification Shop that makes my eyes dizzy when I see the various items being sold," I muttered to this and continued walking, following the movements of the main troops.

[ Fufufu... you know Lily-chan. The more things you can buy, the more Lily-chan will pamper the girls who have fallen in love with you! ]

[ And that’s my true goal! ]

As usual, my Goddess has no shame in her perversion.

I am now worried about the items in the Yurification Shop that will continue to increase in the future, and the girls I have to care about their love desires for me.

Can I live this life in peace and relaxation, my Goddess?

[ I think that’s impossible, Lily-chan. ]

[ The Goddess Aurora: Yes, I also think the same about that, Lily-chan. ]

My Goddess and the Goddess Aurora seem to agree on this.

It makes me feel happy and confused at the same time.
