Blessing Of Yuri Goddess

Chapter 43 - Puddle Flowers



The bet I was about to make drew various stares from the military officers gathered in the central command tent.

While others worked seriously after breakfast, I played around by placing bets with my twin sisters.

The magical plant detected by Alyssa's magic circle formation didn't indicate its location like as Aiko was currently discovering, the magical plant was growing in a large pool of water.

By placing a bet on another magical plant being detected by Alyssa's magic circle formation, the atmosphere after breakfast in this morning was filled with the fire of a losing spirit and the gazes of envy that could do nothing.

My twin sister and Mio exchanged looks that conveyed their emotions. Mio's gaze was filled with envy, and my twin sister's gaze was filled with a look of anticipation that they wanted to lose this bet.

I couldn't deny it after my twin sister agreed to this bet.

Even the chance to cancel the bet was gone after my twin sister planned to lose.

A bet that involves biting each other's neck to leave a loving bite mark, it will make me act strangely after feeling the love bite from my twin sister.

"Okay, let's make this bet by betting the nape of each other's necks," I said in a tone that was forced to do this.

Mio held back her shock after this bet was made.

"How many magic plants do we have left, Alyssa?" I asked to start the bet.

"There are still some new magic plants ready to be discovered, Lily-nee. With Aiko's position currently at this location, the closest distance to the new magic plants is... this location," said Alyssa while pointing to the location point where Aiko stand and location of the new magic plants.

I also paid attention to the distance between Aiko's current location and the location of the new magic plant on the magic circle formation that was mapping the area around me.

Just a few steps away from Aiko, it had already brought her to the location of the new magic plant.

"That's close enough to run for a few seconds with Aiko's fast running speed. Let's start this bet," I said, preparing myself to win this bet.

The condition of the bet that is currently taking place is that the winner will bite the neck of the loser.

With such simple rules, I was ready to win and bite the nape of my twin sister's neck.

"I bet that this new magic plant will grow on water like before," Alice said with a playful tone in her voice.

"Hmm... judging from the contour of the land, I'm sure this is a type of hanging plant that lives on the branches of other trees growing around it," said Alyssa with a tone of voice that seemed serious about this bet.

Now, I can see the fire of their passion that is ready to lose for the right reasons.

Whether they were twin sisters who were geniuses when it came to doing things together, or it was just a coincidence, I could sense the losing scenario my twin sister was planning.

Holding my breath to think of something, I tried to get into their game of intentionally losing this bet.

"Then, I bet if this new magic plant grows above ground," I said in a calm tone and glanced at my twin sister.

Before the answer to our bet was confirmed, Alice and Alyssa were already smiling, accepting their defeat. They were even preparing to unbutton the collars of their military uniforms.

Kloop...

Kloop...

While loosening the collars of their military uniforms to reveal the nape of their necks, I waited for Aiko's report, who was currently collecting samples of magical plants into jars.

[ Supreme Commander, I have collected some samples of this new magical plant into jars. ]

[ Am I allowed to move to the next new magic plant location point? ]

Aiko's report on the Soul Tame communication channel was hear, causing me to immediately give her further orders.

"Yes, you have permission to move to the next new magic plant location point," I replied while glancing at Alyssa, who was holding a copy of the map and noting down the new magic plant location points.

Alyssa immediately read out the map route that Aiko had to take using the wind directions and a small compass that her military aide carried.

"Lily-nee, can I know Aiko's direction of movement first before adjusting it?" said Alyssa, who wanted to know Aiko's direction of movement first before giving the exact direction to the new magic plant's location.

"Of course," I replied, ordering Aiko to run at a slow pace.

My command was immediately carried out well by Aiko and made her run at low speed towards the front.

Seeing Aiko's movements running straight ahead, it made Alyssa know her current position using the wind direction and the direction she was running.

"Keep running straight ahead at this low speed and turn right on the count of thirteen seconds," said Alyssa after calculating Aiko's location and her running speed.

My magic circle formation and the copy of the map used by Alyssa seemed to be helping each other.

These two unusual combinations have made our work much easier, and my directions to Aiko have also been much faster in finding the accurate location points that Alyssa has calculated.

By telling what Alyssa had said, I also watching the magic circle formation that was showing Aiko's perspective at this time.

The sight of her eyes running at low speed has made me understand the structure of this dense forest, which is divided into several habitats.

Currently, Aiko is in a damp, water-filled area that resembles a lake formed after rain. With its dense forest trees and dense foliage, it's an ideal habitat for wild monsters or other damp-loving animals.

"Lily-nee, in three seconds, Aiko has arrived at the location of the new magic plant," said Alyssa while observing Aiko's as she was running at low speed.

I also conveyed this message to Aiko, who was running at low speed, then stopped after three seconds had passed.

"Hmm... this isn't what I expected," I said while paying attention to what Aiko was looking at.

[ Supreme Commander, I don't see any new magic plants in this puddle. ]

The report given by Aiko is comparable to the eye view we are seeing at this moment.

"Alyssa, is there a puddle of this size in the copy of the map reported by Earl Timoti?" I asked Alyssa who was looking at Earl Timoti's copy of the map.

Alyssa shook her head as if experiencing a discrepancy in the data provided by Earl Timoti map.

"There have been no reports of water that big, Lily-nee."

"Is that so? Then what are we seeing right now?" I continued, pointing to the magic circle formation that showed what Aiko was seeing.

"I think, it's a basin of water that Earl Timoti didn't find on his winter military expedition that entered this dense forest. With the winter that's going on, a basin of water this big would have frozen and made Earl Timoti assume that this was a plain of grass that was barren of anything."

Tap...

Tap...

While thinking about this, Alyssa tapped on the copy of the map that Earl Timoti had drawn.

I glanced at the copy of the map and only got a blank map that had no explanation from Earl Timoti.

"Update the copy of the map that Earl Timoti drew on our discovery, Alyssa."

"Yes, Lily-nee."

Alyssa immediately moved to update the copy of the map that Earl Timoti had drawn with pencil shading that indicated the area on the map was a fairly large basin of water.

"Alice, you do the same thing."

"I've been doing that for a while, Onee-sama."

"Huh?!"

Before I gave Alice an order, I looked at the pencil shading on the copy of the map Alice was using.

The pencil shading that Alice has drawn indicates the location of the watery land contours, including the location of the discovery of a new magical plant that grows above the water.

"Oh! You're working quite hard and fast, too, Alice," I said after noticing Alice quietly working on updating the copy of the map she was using quickly.

"U-Uumm... I thought, I would be scolded by Onee-sama after making an unplanned change like this."

"Eh, why should I scold you? I feel happy after seeing my little sister who can work diligently and skillfully like this."

"R-Really? I didn't get scolded after making changes to a known copy of the map."

"No way... Why should I be angry? It just makes me look like a silly person when angry at this, you know."

Sraaatt...

Sraatt...

While waiting for Alyssa to finish her pencil sketches that formed the shading on her copy of the map, I suddenly got a report from Aiko, who had already dived into the puddle.

[ Um, Supreme Commander, I hope you see what I'm seeing. ]

With that report, I glanced at the magic circle formation that showed what Aiko was currently looking at.

The puddle of water that looks wide turns out to be quite deep.

With the sunlight having penetrated into the clear puddle of water, I could see a flower growing at the bottom of the puddle.

From this distance, I could already confirm that the flowers growing in the water were new magical plants that had been discovered by Alyssa's magic circle formation.

"Oh, my, growing in such depths. Who's going to find you?" I said with a smile after seeing the discovery of such a beautiful, new magical plant.

My statement suddenly attracted the attention of several military officers who were in the central command tent.

My eyes also fell on some of these new magical plants.

If I hadn't taught Alyssa how to use this new magic circle formation, then this new magic plant wouldn't have been discovered.

With the progress of discovering new magical plants on such a large scale, I can feel how important Marquess Rommel's territory is.

"Haaah... this is going to be quite a busy military expedition," I muttered in a loud voice after seeing the discovery of a new magical plant like this.

I smiled and looked at what Aiko was seeing, and glace at the magic circle formation that was actively mapping the area around me.
