Chapter 5

"By the way, if we're going to pick flowers, we'll need a basket. Please wait a moment."

With that, Ruri left the room, lowering the portable table.

Still, if I were to make a decent amount of floral water, it would be nice if there were more flowers blooming...

Just as I thought that,

Pop!

The number of rose petals increased.

—Huh? That's impossible, right? Did I see it wrong?

I rubbed my eyes with my palm to check.

No, they definitely increased a bit.

Let me check again.

"I wish there were more roses blooming!"

Then, pop pop pop pop pop! Rose buds appeared and swelled in various places, and many flowers bloomed.

"Whaaat!"

I let out a loud voice at the strange situation.

"Um, 'Status'"

What's strange here is... 'Green Magic'

—This must be it!

Thinking that, I tapped the text. Then, more information unfolded after 'Green Magic'.

'The power to manipulate plants freely. Seed generation, growth promotion...'

This 'growth promotion' is suspicious...

When Ruri eventually returned to the room, her breathing was slightly elevated, as if she had hurried back.

"Milady Yuria, I heard a loud voice. Is something the matter?"

She asked, looking worried. She must have been surprised by that voice and rushed over.

—The people here are so kind.

But, I'll be moved by that later. Should I explain this situation to Ruri?

"I seem to have a plant manipulation ability that I didn't know about..."

I pointed to the roses in the garden.

"Huh?"

Ruri's eyes widened in amazement at the roses blooming wildly.

"I've never seen so many flowers on these roses before. I'm surprised... What a wonderful power."

Ruri, while helping me pick the flowers, was entranced by the colorful roses and their overwhelmingly fragrant aroma.

At that moment, a somewhat rough male voice was heard.

"Hey! Did you do this to the roses here!"

"Alan! How dare you speak to the mistress of the palace, Lady Yuria!"

The young man called Alan, with small goat horns and dark skin, glared at me despite Ruri's scolding. His clothes and the tools hanging from his waist suggested he was probably the gardener here.

"Ruri, it's fine. Alan, I made the roses bloom. Why are you angry?"

I asked the young man who was glaring at me.

"Thanks to you making the roses bloom excessively, all the nutrients went to the flowers, and the leaves are in this state. I've been taking such good care of them until now."

Alan showed me the rose leaves, which indeed had slightly withered tips as he said.

"I see, if I make only the flowers bloom, the nutrients won't go to the other parts... If the roses could get plenty of nutrients overall, and if I could heal them, that would be great."

As I said this, a sparkling green light shone over the roses, and the light rained down on them. Then, the tips of the leaves Alan was holding, as well as the other leaves, returned to a beautiful dark green.

"Huh?"

"Oh..."

"Wow..."

The three of us exclaimed in surprise.

"Um, Lady Yuria..."

After that, I was asked by Alan to heal the plants in the garden that were not doing well.

Ruri criticized me for being so bold as to ask a guest for a favor, but I ignored her and responded to his request. As a result, Alan became my enthusiastic fan.

On a whim, I asked if he could make a field for me because I wanted to grow flowers and herbs myself someday, and he happily agreed, thumping his chest. He said he would work on it in his spare time.
