Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

A (tier-7) light attribute spell (Cleansing rain). A spell can affect the environment of a small area and create rain.

And it was raining right now.

-Shhhhhhhhhhh...

It was raining gold. Strange, but this really was amazing.

The spell finished and the dark clouds in the sky had turned as white as the snow covering the rest of the forest.

Then, a slow but warm downpour started.

The waterdrops were golden, and all of them were glowing.

The atmosphere was dark because of the demonic energy and the clouds, so the golden rain was enhanced even further.

The gold fell from the white clouds and as soon as it touched the polluted gray-black soil, the moment a golden drop touched this dark soil producing a ripple effect of a water drop touching the surface of calm water, the soil turned gold, and the dark demonic pollution was washed away.

And that wasn't all.

As life returned to the soil, the newborn soil gave birth to new life.

Grass, plants, and even trees started growing at a speed that was hard to believe was the effect of a simple (tier-7) spell.

The rain didn't just contain the light properties that could cleanse the polluted area; it had earthly power to return life to the devastated earth.

And all of this... was breathtaking.

I felt as amazed as the first time grandma showed me how one could create countless other elements from just a single one right now.

It was an enchanting sight and so was this one...

It was a power that couldn't be achieved by many mortals, but it wasn't impossible to reach that point.

I could do it too... maybe.

It was possible to reach a point that was unlike any other and do things that I had only seen from all the incredible beings I had met.

It was possible. And just knowing that much was enough.

"You're a jerk, but you're amazing..."

"Oh my? Did I hear that right? My great lady Reinelle just complimented me. Is this a great day~?"

Yeah. He was amazing, even with his unique personality.

His special magic was quite something, too.

It didn't take long for the whole area destroyed by the demon to return to an even better state than before and now, only the hole in the ground that the demon had come out from reminded me.

That was most certainly the place where they summoned the demon from.

It was foolish to summon him here, and maybe the two people Rein and I saw in the market during our date were among two of the demonkins that Rein killed.

The cave was still there and though the magic that was concealing it was lifted after their deaths, this place was really disgusting.

As we went down and looked around, we saw the dead bodies, the cells where the people might have been locked, and the storage with the things that belonged to them.

This place was like the dark cave that was under that house inside the capital/.

If a demon was summoned in that place, things would have been dangerous, but these dumb people did something that was... strange?

"Why would they even summon a demon in a place like this and on a day like today?"

It was a genuine question and as the headmaster looked at my curious expression, he smiled excitedly.

"Someone else was behind them, right? Someone who controlled or used them?"

It was the most simple explanation I could come up with. And he smiled even more at this.

"Maybe? Who knows what these Rakshasa bastards would do?

Using their own kind for some experiment or a diversion or maybe even as a test wouldn't be impossible for them.

They are unpredictable and their high priests, knights, bishops, saints, and popes are even worse enemies of nature than the lower-ranking priests like those who just became a demonkin.

Many things happen around the world, children... but you can rest for a few years before you actually fall into this mess.

Especially Eon. I know you want to just live happily with your family, but there will be many things you will inevitably have to do for that dream to become a reality."

"I know..."

I know there are still countless things that I don't know. I'm still weak. I'm far from being good enough that I can protect them if something really bad happened.

I'm not even good enough to defeat a nameless, true demon noble.

I have a long way before I can achieve those things.

But I know, I hope, and I believe that I will be able to achieve that.

"It will be fine," Rein said as she grabbed my hand.

Her hand was soft and cool, as usual. Still, it was more than enough for now.

"Haaa... ok. So, headmaster. We get half of the loot, right?"

I smiled warmly at him and...

-Snap!

Everything from the storage before us, the energy cores, some skill stones, those usable hearts and materials, even the butchered energy beast bodies and weird potions, everything vanished.

"Yes? Did you say something, Eon? Ahh... looks like this place has nothing. Let's go back~."

And just like that, the three of us vanished and reappeared in the sky.

"He's a real stingy jerk. Bastard..."

Rein was holding my hand as we flew towards the capital. And, well, it is what it is...

There was nothing that great anyway, so it was fine, even if we didn't get anything more from there.

I got to use my harvest spell and got a core crystal. That thing with the materials we collect was more than enough.

He did most of the work anyway... ah! My dream of being a bystander and just collecting materials after someone else defeated some powerful creature came true.

"Nice..."

"What's nice?!"

"Nothing. I'm just happy right now."

I was happy. This experience was special. And just like every other one of my experiences, unforgettable.

I was genuinely happy. I knew she could strangely feel this happiness of mine.

Well, she was alright if I was happy. She at least stopped cussing at the ever-stingy headmaster and looked around.

-Skkkkkkkkkkk...

We were flying. Something different from when we came to this place.

Previously, we had just teleported here. But right now, we were flying over the enormous trees, and definitely above the level of the capital city.

I wanted to see the vast capital city from above for a long time and surprisingly, that wish was also going to come true this time.

"You're excited," she said with a smile and the headmaster looked back towards the two of us with a smirk.

"I'm excited." Maybe this was some kind of compensation in return for that entire storage that he took for himself. Well, it was acceptable.

-Skkkkkkkkkk...

We flew for a while and the forest ended, and the city walls became visible.

It was almost like the horizon itself was the walls. The capital city was truly big… and just after that, we saw the tip of the imperial palace.

It was in the center of the city and was the largest structure in the city.

But just after that, when the whole snow-covered city became visible, we saw the small houses, the ant-like people, some houses that were just a bit bigger than the others, but the same ant-like people, and some real big structures that stood out among everything else, just like the magnificent imperial palace.

And one of them was the golden-white castle, Hiraani.

'Amazing...'

It was cool, and from above, the snow-covered land really gave the feeling of winter.

The winds were also cooler from the high altitude and if not for these special clothes, we would be preserved in a cube of ice.

The city... was gorgeous.

And it was even more special with the person holding my hand.

"You're beautiful..." I mumbled as I looked beside me at this gorgeous lady.

The way her short purple hair fluttered, her gorgeous pink eyes reflected the entire city, the low rays of sun illuminated her white skin, and the way her cherry lips parted ways, everything was gorgeous about her.

"T-thanks?"

And now this red blush, too. She was cute.

"Hahaha. The bliss of youth..."

The headmaster was watching us as I watched her and her happy, embarrassed face.

It was cute, and the city was majestic.

It was fun looking at it from above like this and I wanted to stay for a bit more and see the special structures of the capital aside from the six main ones.

The capital city was vast and there were countless cool places and things there.

It would take us a long time if we wanted to visit every single place.

And I certainly wanted to visit all the cool places as well as the ones she liked with her.

It will be fun, and we would do it before going to the academy. There was enough time for that, but not for looking over the sky like this.

We reached the capital and flew down and teleported inside. There were protocols, protractions, and barriers that not anyone could cross without authority.

But he was someone who can't be stopped even with the restrictions of the greatest city.

So, we were inside now and on the ground.

"Hmm?"

But we weren't anywhere near Hiraani.

We were in the outer parts of commoner people's houses.

"I have something to do here. It's just a small thing, so it will be quick."

He smiled with a mysterious smile and lifted his hand.

Then, a white owl flew towards us from the nearby rooftop and sat down on his hand.

It was Harry. His famous familiar owl.

He said something to him and the headmaster nodded, and then... he flew away.

"This year really is different." He looked at me for a moment and shook his head as we started floating in the air once again. For some reason, there was an invisibility spell around us, too.

And by around us, I meant in the half-kilometer area around us.

After that, he looked around with his special rainbow-like eyes and different things like food and toys started appearing before us.

"What's he doing?" she was confused as we floated above the houses but I had a thought about what was happening right now.

"You're the winter fairy?"

Those words were filled with an unbelieving voice. We were talking about being like Santa here. Someone who gives gifts to the people who wished for them.

And we were talking about countless people all around many nations of the continent.

It was absurd, but this certainly was a possibility if we were talking about the greatest archmage.

And Rein's eyes were wide open as she heard me. Not wanting to believe the great person who brought a warm smile to the faces of countless people was this stingy jerk.

"Hahaha. It would be honorable if I was. Sadly, I'm just one of the helpers who help the real 'winter fairy'.

Don't tell anyone but, I think you know this fairy very well."

He smiled again while looking at me.

It was even more surprising, but... I knew who he was talking about.

"Amazing..."

I was even happier now.

The winter festival that Rein didn't like much was probably something very special to mom.

Well... she's the best.

-Oooooooooooooooong.

Many things appeared in the sky, then a magic circle appeared before his hand.

The things that had appeared around us were sucked into the multicolor magic circle and then, the magic circle became invisible and floated away from his hand.

As it reached the ground, it was divided into countless similar magic circles that fixed themselves over the houses of people or around the streets.

"Okay~. All done here. Let's go~."

His work here was done. So we will be going back now.

It was a short trip, but I saw many things in this short time.

I also learned a few new things, so it was all worth the time spent away from my Anna.

It was fun, more to watch her fight in her beautiful dress.

We saw the death of a demon noble. I even saw his status window.

And I know from this strange magic circle, and the other cool magic I saw throughout my time with this (Perfect being), they all were something that will take a long time to get analyzed in my mind tower.

It was fun, though. And I'm hungry too. The day has also only half finished and there is half of the auction before us.

There's the night's ball and dinner with the emperor...

The day is still far from finished.
