The Gift really was an ability I didn’t understand

---

“Papa. Why are you able to make herbs so easily? Uhh…grandpa said that plants only grow when you wait a long time.”
“Plants and animals are like that… But as I told you before, it is because of the Gift.”
“I see…”

I suppose she had forgotten about how I explained it before.
Back then, she was still getting used to living here.

“Still, it really is a strange ability. After all, you can make plants grow from nothing. Well, it’s impressive that you can use such a power, master.”
“There’s nothing impressive about me at all…”

It was just an ability I was given out of nowhere. It did not even feel like mine.
But it really was a strange power, as it ignored the laws of nature.

Though, it wasn’t like I could make any type of plant. And I also fainted when I used too much power.

That being said, there were a few plants I made myself. And since I was able to make herbs that I thought of, if I wanted to, there was so much more that I could do with this ability.
Besides, like Ms. Isabelle said…I could even grow them on people.
Of course, that method was dangerous. And I never wanted to do it again.
…Besides, no one would want to eat plants that grew from a living creature’s body.

“Hey, Leo. Do you know anything about Weed Cultivation?”
“Wuff… Wuff? Wuff.”
“You don’t. Well, that’s fine. It’s what I expected.”

I asked her just in case. As Leo had become much more intelligent after she turned into a Silver Fenrir.
However, Leo shook her head.
She seemed apologetic, but I assured her that it was not a bad thing.

If Sebastian were here, he might be able to explain something… Well, I had already talked to him about it, and he did not know the details.
There were not many people who had a Gift, and so not much was known.

My ability was to grow plants, and it was unknown what my limits were. Perhaps it wasn’t as effective as other Gifts… Well, it was useful to me now. And because of it, my life was quite stable in this world.
And so even if there was a lot that I didn’t know about it, I would not fear it.
Like this, I thought about such questions as I rested for around half an hour.

“Ah, Sebastian. You are here.”

After our break, Leo and the others returned to their play, and so Milina and I finished turning the herbs into medicine.
I also made some extra herbs for research purposes.
While doing so, I checked the fields, and it was just as Sebastian said before. Due to the sudden growth, nutrients were absorbed from the soil, and the ground looked like a desert. And so I planted the herbs in a different location.
The barren ground would probably have to have soil and fertilizer mixed into it before it could be used again… I didn’t know much about such things, so I would have to speak to a farmer.

I did not want the same thing to happen in Range village, so there was much to consider.
In any case, once I was finished, I left the rest to Milina and went over to where Sebastian was.
I returned to the mansion and asked the servants where Sebastian was.

“Mr. Takumi. Are you finished already?”
“Yes. I have made all of the ordered herbs. And I grew some extra herbs for the research.”
“You must be tired then. Did you take a break?”
“I rested with Ms. Lyra and the others. I am fine.”
“Hoho. I suppose you are getting quite close to her then. You do get busy, Mr. Takumi…”
