Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 16.2

As everyone bid me farewell, I mounted Pochi and headed straight north.

Even the familiar Prayle Plains felt nostalgic.

Although I hunted here yesterday as well.

Upon arriving at the usual witch’s house, Lisa was the first to come over.

“Beryl-kun!”

“Lisa. Good morning.”

“Good morning!”

After a year of coming here regularly, Lisa had opened up to me, and the awkward atmosphere from before was gone, and she interacted with me normally.

However, there was still a slight sense of distance, but since Sofia was also here, it was fine.

“Granny is also waiting.”

Entering the house, Evans-sama greeted me with a smile as she brewed tea and placed cups on the table.

As usual, after enjoying the tea, Evans-sama placed three bottles on the table.

Red, blue, and purple.

“Evans-sama? Are these potions?”

“Yes. I can only make basic healing potions, but these three are advanced potions.”

Of course, I knew.

In the game, I would drink down recovery potions like water.

The blue potion is a High Potion, which significantly restores HP. The red one, a Berserker Potion, boosts abilities rather than restoring HP. The purple one is a Cure Potion, which not only heals all status ailments but also grants immunity to status ailments for 300 seconds.

“Aren’t these valuable?”

“Just because they’re valuable doesn’t mean they should be left unused. I feel uneasy if I don’t give you something like this, Beryl-kun.”

“Haha. Thank you. I’ll make sure to win and repay you properly.”

“Just seeing your healthy face again is repayment enough.”

“Evans-sama… Yes!”

Evans-sama occasionally shows a terrifying smile, but fundamentally, she is warm-hearted and kind.

Although there are rumors about witches being scary, I don’t think so. Evans-sama and Lisa are both very kind.

“Well then, I’m off.”

“Take care.”

“Beryl-kun! Wait!”

“Hmm? What is it, Lisa?”

“This…”

Lisa handed me a small doll.

It had a big face, with the body and limbs feeling like an afterthought, and its face was a bit ugly, but for some reason, it was strangely endearing.

“It’s a witch doll… I made it with all my effort!”

“I see. Thank you. I’ve been receiving a lot from you, Lisa.”

“T-That’s not true! I’ve also… received a lot from you, Beryl-kun… So, please make sure to come back, okay?”

“Yeah.”

Waving goodbye to the two of them, I mounted Pochi and headed straight west from there.

Passing through the forest to the north of our Polopoko Village, there’s the Prayle Plains, and further north is the Olrifast Mountain where the witch’s house is located. Heading west from there, you reach the westernmost area of the Prayle Plains, and beyond that is the Dizashis Mountain.

This mountain is the largest in this area, and there’s a fairy tale about a dragon living at its peak, but it’s said that powerful magical beasts reside there.

Currently, something unusual is happening on that mountain.

Because… the powerful magical beasts that would normally appear are nowhere to be found.

I already know the reason, so that’s why I’ve come here.

Thanks to Pochi, who has become even faster, I quickly ran through the mountain and arrived at a place where I sensed something.

I’ve been searching for this… My target prey stood before me, and when it spotted me, it directed an unprecedented murderous intent towards me with its sharp gaze.

“Yo… It’s been a while. You seem to have gotten quite strong, too?”

“Graaaah!”

A giant black wolf with a large scar over its left eye and its eye crushed glared at me with its remaining eye, emitting anger as it growled.
