This Isn't an Erotic Game?

Chapter 17: There’s Something Under the Ground

The 213th Regular Academic Conference came to an end.

Although there had been an incident where the witch Erpha was dragged away as an abomination, the safely reopened academic conference was able to end by presenting outstanding magical technology developments and new technological revolution directions, as it always had.

While every presenter’s paper was excellent, no matter how good they were, none could surpass the Three Primary Colors Re

“Saint.”

After continuing to treat people all day like that.

Jonathan Karma carefully approached me and spoke, “While digging the ground for the foundation work, we’ve hit a huge rock that’s delaying the work. The rock is so hard that we can’t break through it with the excavators we’re currently using.”

My ears perked up.

“Then what should we do?”

“We need to rent more expensive, high-end equipment. For this… it seems like we’ll have to spend quite a lot of money.”

“Proceed.”

Heaven is helping!

Heaven is helping!!

Spend a lot of money!

Spend it generously!

Spend it generously enough to bankrupt the Lilia Order!! Quickly!!

“Yodel. Please rent the high-end equipment that Jonathan is requesting right…”

“Saint!”

Ah damn.

Damn!

Damn, no!!

The nuclear bomb witch! You again?

“Witch! You’ve come at just the right time!”

Of course, before I could try to stop anything this time too, the witch heard the situation from Jonathan and smiled as she took out her wand.

“Don’t worry. I’ll solve it for you!”

Troll!!

There’s no troll like this troll!!

Please just leave without interfering with my plans!!

I need to bankrupt the Lilia Order, do you know how much money has been saved because of you?

Please!!

…But all this shouting was only in my heart.

With what courage would I shout at a super-special nuclear bomb that could blow away the entire empire?

I could only watch as the witch approached the construction site with her wand.

“Huh? It’s a mana-absorbing stone? Why is there such a large mana-absorbing stone?”

The witch’s surprised voice was heard for a moment, and then the next moment.

The ground shook as if there was an earthquake.

When I turned my head, I could see the witch trying to pull out a black rock firmly embedded in the center of the construction site while holding her wand.

“It’s absorbing mana, so it’s hard to pull out with just magic! I think we’ll need some help! We need to pull it out together!”

“We will do so!”

The workers from the slums who were working rushed in and started to exert force while grabbing the huge rock.

“Now! Put your strength into it! One, two!”

With a cracking sound, the huge black rock was pulled up high into the sky.

This is annoying.

Just looking at its size, it seemed so damn hard and heavy, if I had made them pull it out with equipment, I could have made them spend much more money.

Still, let’s take comfort.

Building a high-rise building on this useless piece of trash land is already an insane waste of money.

If things continue like this, the Lilia Order will surely go bankrupt…

“Something is gushing out from under the ground! Witch!!”

With a refreshing pop sound, I heard something gushing and pouring out.

When I turned my gaze back there, I could see the workers backing away in confusion.

Water with a brilliant blue color was endlessly gushing out from under the ground where the huge rock had just been pulled out.

The witch with the wand approached the water slowly with a surprised expression.

After carefully touching the blue water, the four-armed witch shouted in shock, “Elixir… It’s an elixir source!”

E… what?

Elixir?

No, why is that coming out of there?

Why the hell is that coming out of there?!
