I’m Not Good at Offensive Magic, but I’ll Do My Best With Support Magic!

「There are many medicinal plants. Flowing water plants are…… Near the lake」

If I use the detect magic for searching, the location won’t be shown on the map, but I can get a general idea of where it is, and I can search for the desired material.

Of course, I also use sensing magic to keep track of approaching monsters, so I’m not lax.

There was no reaction from the monsters nearby, and there seemed to be 3 small red dots traveling far away from me, moving in the opposite direction, but judging from their size, they were F-Rank equivalent monsters like Goblins, so I don’t think I need to worry about them.

To be honest, the requests I’m getting are hard for those who aren’t used to them.

You have to walk looking down in the forest, worry about monster attacks, and identify them from the grass that grows everywhere.

But it’s a very satisfying job for me, having risen from F-Rank to E-Rank without a defeat.

Since it’s a resident request, I can take it over and over again, and I can easily grasp its location with sensing magic and collect a lot of it with storage magic. I guess you could say it’s a job for me.

However, since it is not related to a request for fighting, the rank will not increase.

I don’t care about rank, so it’s a minor issue for me.

Today, I put away the 50th herb in the storage, which are worth 5 silver coins.

This forest with its many medicinal herbs is a great place to earn money.

However, even though the forest is large, uprooting all the medicinal herbs in one spot would cause trouble for the other adventurers, and there is a possibility that medicinal herbs will no longer grow in this area, so I’ll leave the gathering to this point.

I’d really like to have more, but I tell myself that I’ve harvested enough to earn a gold coin if I collect the same amount of flowing water plants.

After finishing the collection of medicinal herbs, the next step was to collect flowing water plants, and as I walked while using sensing magic, I found a reaction for flowing water plants. In the vicinity, there is a reaction indicating a body of water and a red dot indicating a monster.

「It’s no wonder watery places attract monsters」

As I approached the water, avoiding the monster, I saw a small spring. The naturally formed spring was crystal clear and beautiful, but even from a distance you could see that the water had soaked into the soil, creating a muddy, slippery mess that made it difficult to get a foothold.

「Flowing water plants can grow there……」

As I approached the spring to collect the flowing water plants, my feet became trapped in the muddy soil.

My feet are buried up to my ankles, and if I’m not careful, my shoes will fall off……

Just as I was thinking, my shoe got stuck and I dove face first into the mud…… I’m covered in mud all over and my clothes are soaked! …… Uu, I want to cry.

But I can’t say that. I’m here to collect flowing water plants!

I knew beforehand that it would be messy, so it’s too late to worry about it!

But I can see why this request is not popular.

I fell down several times, but collected enough flowing water plants, and by the time I had collected the same number of plants as the medicinal herbs, the sun was almost setting.

「If I return now, I won’t be able to make it to the gate before it closes… and before I do… Clean Wash」

One of the life magic, cleaning magic, is a magic that can remove dirt from your body and clothes. My whole body became clean from the mud as if it were never there at all. It won’t fix the torn clothes, though.

When working as an adventurer, it is common to get dirty with mud and dust, as well as blood and body fluids when defeating monsters. That’s why this magic is very popular during the time when you are not able to take a bath.

However, it seems to be a surprisingly rare skill, so not everyone can use it. I’m glad that I’m good at auxiliary magic.

「It’s not safe near the spring, so I’d like to rest somewhere where there are fewer monsters」

I continue on through the darkened forest. A forest filled with darkness where you don’t know when you’ll be attacked is usually a scary place to be, right?

But you don’t have to be so frightened if you use detection magic. How about an E-Rank adventurer, Yuan, one for the house and one for the adventurer’s companion? Both life magic and auxiliary magic are useful, you know?

It seemed that I was bored walking in the forest without collecting, and while I was thinking about strange things, I found myself in a space where there was no vegetation and the moonlight was shining. Just as the sensing magic informed me.

Many of the unnatural spaces seem to be places where there have been battles before. It’s not uncommon for the terrain to change during battles between monsters and adventurers. It’s only for high ranks, though.

「I feel safe by a big tree」

I look around, lean against the biggest tree, and take out the dried meat of the Goblin I’m keeping.

I forgot…… Barrier.

A dome-shaped defensive magic is deployed with me as the center, about 10 meters in diameter.

This magic can block attacks unless the magic power runs out or a certain amount of damage is inflicted. Moreover, it can be automatically supplied from magic power, automatically repairs itself, and can also block the invasion of monsters.

Even though it’s only once, it’s durable enough to prevent the breath of the Fire Dragon that helped everyone in the Wings of the Fire Dragon, so I’m confident that it won’t break through no matter how many Goblins or Orcs gather. The downside, though, is that it’s limited to monsters, and people with no malicious intent can get in.

「Now I can relax」

With the safety of the surroundings secured, I decided to have my usual meal, get some sleep and rest for tomorrow.

I was thankful that it was not during the cold season. If it had been a snowy season, I would have had to incorporate temperature control magic, which would have increased the amount of magic I had to consume.

My day comes to an end as I finish my meal and give thanks for the warm weather.

May good things happen to me tomorrow…… good night. I wrapped myself in the cheap pelt of a wolf I had taken out of storage and fell into a deep sleep.
