Volume 8 Chapter 43: Moonlight Persimmons

Volume 8 Chapter 43: Moonlight Persimmons

Alfia took a deep yawn as she slowly woke up. As she moved, she patted the wolf and hawk. A slight grin appeared on her face as she did so. Every day, she had been sleeping with the spirits. And they were the perfect snuggle partners. 

She would fall asleep in a matter of seconds. 

The elf raised her hands into the air and stared out the window. The warm glow of the sun would hit her face. It was the perfect room. But as she stared outside, her eyes widened. The warm glow of the sun didn't shine in. Well, it should. But a giant tree was blocking it! 

What in the world?!  She quickly ran downstairs to see Diana and Keith in the kitchen.

"What's the matter, Alfia?"

"The tree. And why do you feel so different?" Alfia blinked. There was definitely something wrong with the guy. Why do I feel a warm aura around him? And,

"Did you grow taller?" For some odd reason, she felt he had grown an inch or something. 

"Ahh, that's because of us. And I don't really know; did I grow taller, Diana?" Keith turned to the great spirit of nature. This was the first time he heard about this. 

"Umm, I think so." Everyone was too focused on the giant tree to notice the child's height. She looked up, "You do look a bit taller. Your face is also more sparkly," It was glowing for her. 

"..." Are you serious? Wait a moment. Is there something the matter with the two? The relationship between the two was different; subtle, but different.  

"Keith, what's with the giant tree in the background?!" Alfia wasn't the only one as the others entered the kitchen. The man grinned, "Let's go to the island. It's better if we just show you," With those words, everyone headed to the second island. 

"You guys are here." Cadmus and Sohma were already there, gazing at the tree. 

"That tree is even larger!" Getting a closer look, that tree was even more enormous! Sarah muttered, "How does a tree grow this big?" This was unheard of. The last time they saw the seed, it only had a tiny sprout. In less than a day, that thing became a colossal thing.

"Don't you guys think it's perfect as the center? We can relax and chill here under the petals." Keith grinned. This was something he was so happy about.

"True,"

"It has a beautiful color as well." It was a light sky-blue petal. Gentle and soothing. 

"Keith, let's not forget about that," Diana added. They couldn't forget about the fruits. After a few hours, those things had become ripe. 

"Let me get them." Keith jumped and quickly picked the fruits. Blue persimmon. Each one had a beautiful shine; the size was similar to an apple. Actually, there was a slight blue aura around it. It was quite incredible. 

"Here," Keith handed the persimmons over. Everyone stared at it with fervor. That was because of how beautiful it was. 

"It's shining like the moon."

"There's also a cool feeling to it." It was gentle and cool to the touch; he found it excellent. 

"It has to taste good, or it's not worth it!" Jack grinned as he took a bite. The rest followed suit afterward. A cool and refreshing taste filled their mouth. As expected of the fruit, it was sweet and mild at the same time. Blueberry and strawberry? There's also dragon fruit as well. Those three fruits came to his mind as he chewed. 

What made it more enjoyable was how filling it was. As he continued to savor it, Alfia stared at the fruit. 

"Keith, I think my magic increased."

"Eh?" "I feel something weird with my body." Gabriel started to wave his hand around before he fired off a wind blade. As he did, a stone bench exploded! !

"Dude!" 

"Gabriel!"

"My bad," Gabriel scratched his head, "But this is definitely stronger than my normal wind blade." The amount of power it had was abnormally high! It was higher than any other time. 

"Indeed." Scarlet and Alfia were about to use magic when Keith came down with a chop!

"What are you two doing?! Are you trying to destroy our perfectly renovated island?!" Gabriel did it once; there was no need for these two to do it. Scratch that; these two definitely can't do it! Everything that was built would be burnt to a crisp! 

"Fine." "We'll test it later."

"So this is a magic buffer," Keith nodded at the persimmon.

"But there's something else about it." Arlo muttered, "Leader, I think my mana capacity has increased. "

"Say what?!" Keith blinked.

"Mmhmm, I feel like I could use more magic now." Arlo could use earth magic. And he felt he could use it more than before. 

"The persimmons can do something like that." Keith blinked. 

"This is incredible," Sohma and Aidiun's expressions brightened when they heard this, "That would make training and increasing your mana capacity easier." 

"It's safe as well," Keith muttered. Increasing mana capacity was quite tricky. 

There were two ways it could grow; one is just growing up: the mana capacity grows as the body grows. The other way to do this was to waste all your mana. That was quite difficult and dangerous. 

One could actually kill themselves if they did. 

"But I don't think it's effective for those who already have a high mana capacity." Alfia and Scarlet didn't feel the same effect as what Arlo mentioned.

"But this is good for a sudden magic boost." Keith grinned. Strength and magic boost. He got one from Eldi, and now, he has obtained the magic boost from the persimmon. 

"Can you guys go out and bring back some farm animals?" It was time to obtain the farm animals. 

"Don't worry about it! We're on it!" Arlo pumped his fist.

“….Sure. Don't bring too much. Also, try to negotiate with them as well." Keith didn't want to bring them back with force…Well, it was the last move. But negotiations were quite the must.

"We'll negotiate well!"

"…Yeah, Fira and Aria, go with them. You guys will act as negotiators." Aria knew how to do this while Fira was the translator.

"And you guys should watch over them."

"Gotcha," This was going to be a multiple-person job, not one.
