Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 38: Preparations

"Miss notice, what is this?" She asked.

[I'm not sure; should I analyze it?]

"Please," She replied.

[As you wish, starting the analysis.]

[Analysis completed.]

"So, what is it?" Nessa inquired.

"It is connected to a specific object you obtained, a magical gre diamond meant for protection," The system replied, and Nessa sighed.

"What the hell was that diamond? A stranger gave it to me before dying, but I know nothing about it; I'll have to do some research wh I get a chance," She mumbled.

"Yes, you will, is that all?" Miss Notice asked, and Nessa sighed.

"Yes, thank you," She responded.

"You are welcome," Miss notice said and Nessa smiled.

'Those people looked rich and royal to me, and he used his last breath to give me this diamond, it must be important, why?' Nessa wondered as she climbed back into bed and sighed but fell asleep a little while after.

Wh Nessa awoke the next morning, she wiped her eyes, got out of bed, and wt to fresh up.

Wh she was finished, the girl dressed and left her tt, and Isamu approached her.

Nessa looked at him, curious about what he was up to but did not ask. Isamu was differt from Akio in that he was still learning to trust her, and she was aware of this and decided not to push him.

"Good morning," He said and she smiled.

"Good morning," She replied as Liya approached her and greeted her before handing her breakfast.

"Thank you very much, Liya," She said.

"You are welcome, my lady," She replied and Nessa wt to sit under a tree next to her tt and began eating her breakfast since she was hungry plus she had a lot on her mind.

Nessa smiled as she felt the cold wind brush against her body while eating.

'It's a nice day,' she thought as Akio approached her and sat beside her.

She patted him on the head and looked at Isamu while stretching her hand out to touch him, and he glanced at her, causing her to flinch, and she smiled, th he closed his eyes, lowering his head, and she patted him on the head, after a while, he reoped his eyes, and she sighed, feeling relieved before moving her hand off of him.

Wh Nessa finished her meal, a few thoughts occurred to her, and she realized it was supposed to be springtime.

"Zietaz," She said as he passed by with Calina, a goblina, and they both approached her.

"My lady, I was just coming to find you; we wanted to let you know that spring has arrived and farming season has begun, but..." He said, Nessa's head tilted slightly to the right, and she smirked.

"About time, I can help you guys with that, gather the others who can help with farming, also ask Youthim to come along too, there is an tire plain we can use right beside the town, not a far walk and it would be of good use to plant separate things, differt types of things," She replied, and they both smiled brightly before rushing off to call the others.

After a short while, Zietaz returned with Tehitos, Youthim, and a few other goblins and ogres.

"What's the matter, my lady?" Riki asked and she smiled at him.

"Follow me," She responded while walking away, and they followed her just outside of town to a vast op land, a plain perfect for farming and not far from the waterfalls, close to the town, sured by other valleys and op areas.

Nessa had decided to start a lot of farming fields to provide the now growing town with ough food, ones that ev they didn't have access to and had to travel to other towns or kingdoms to get, she made up her mind to better everyone's lives and provide more than they had ever se.

"This is perfect, I know a lot about farming, I can help, my lady," Calina said, before Nessa smiled and looked at Youthim, who smirked and looked at Tehitos.

"Wh- What is it?" Tehitos asked.

"Help me gather woods, we will start setting up the fields while the others work on the houses, is that okay my lady?" Youthim asked and Nessa nodded.

"Calina, you'll be in charge of most of the farming; if you have any questions, just ask me," Nessa said, and Calina smiled brightly.

"I will, thank you," She replied to which Nessa smiled.

"All right, let's get to work, once they finish with the fields, we'll start planting tomorrow, we can't do it all at once, we have a few months until spring ds, plty of time for planting, there's no rush," Nessa said, and they nodded.

"May I speak with you for a momt, my lady?" Riki inquired, and she moved aside with him as Youthim and the others began to work.

"What's the matter Riki?" She asked.

"Is this a good time to do this?" He inquired, and she sighed as she looked at their happy faces.

"Yeah, it's about time they had their own things," She responded wh she ssed a dark aura emanating from the forest, and her heart rate increased wh she turned a and saw nothing but Nessa knew she ssed a familiar presce.

'What was that ssation?' Nessa paused, th sighed.

"Guys, let's go back, let them do their work, and I also wanted to tell you guys that I will be leaving to Mascra tomorrow afternoon, I know it's sudd, but I think this needs to be done, get allies by our sides is a good thing, that way we won't be an easy target for anyone," Nessa said, and they all turned to look at her before smiling.

"Got it, we'll make sure to see you off; after all, you're doing this for our sakes," Calina replied.

"But we have to talk to you too, this was your idea and spring lasts a few months, we will wait until you get back to start farming but in the meanwhile, we will gather the supplies, differt types of things to plant and await your return, we will continue working on the houses and building the town," Zietaz said and everyone agreed with him.
