Egos are truly a wonderful thing! They can turn an inanimate object alive and even give them their own Mana, Health, and other stats, and even special Skills. When I checked this jewel's stats, which I've named Aquarius, it had a few Skills related to water, just production of water.
Now that it was alive and was an Ego, it was literally impossible to run out of water as it would never run out of Mana, its own Mana will naturally recover over time as it has an Ego Soul inside now.However, everyone around me was confused as they didn't noticed any changes in the jewel block… But you'll see!
"Now…! [Dirt Block], [Dirt Block], [Dirt Block]."
As if I were playing Minecraft, I began turning into Dirt Blocks all the hard and dry stone below me and then threw Aquarius deep into a hole, and then I pulverized the blocks I made and turned them into dry dirt, pouring it all over.
"Yeah, I think it's done…"
The rest was, of course, not even aware of what the hell was I doing.
"Erm, Kireina… What are you doing?" Arianne wondered.
"Try to infuse your Mana into the floor in here." I said."The floor?" She asked.
"Yeah, do it." I said.
"Erm… okay…"
Arianne quickly concentrated her mind into it, infusing her mana into the ground by large quantities, slowly yet steadily, Aquarius absorbed this Mana and began to produce lots of water.
TRUUUMM…!
Suddenly, a tremor happened below us.
"Huh? What's happening?" Arianne was confused, and the twins as well.
"Wait a bit and…!"
SPLAAASH!
Water came out, in large quantities from the ground! It was so much water that it began to splash all over the place. The villagers quickly walked near the dry oasis, looking dumbfounded as water was coming without end.
"W-Wha…?!"
"What is happening?"
"How is this… possible?"
"Water? Is this water?!"
"As long as you guys pour your Mana into the ground, water will come out constantly, so make sure to infuse your Mana into the ground around the Oasis, that should do it… Now let's go plant some vegetables." I said, walking away and leaving everyone surprised behind me.
Suddenly, the village chief, an old half-desert elf man came running in, his big white beard and his small, weak body made me pity him, so I ended listening to what he was saying.
"L-Lady Kireina, right? Is it true that you've brought water back to Stoneville? You alone?" He asked.
The other villagers quickly gathered around me, looking at me as if I were a goddess… Quite honestly, I missed this feeling a bit, so there's no problem in getting a bit cocky, right?
"Indeed! I've blessed your land." I said with a gentle smile. "As long as you gently infuse Mana into the oasis every day by a bit, you'll receive fresh water ready for drinking or watering crops." I said. "You can also use it freely to wash yourselves, there's always water."
"Y-You did this?!" The village chief asked again.
"Yeah, it wasn't hard. I had- Ah, I better not reveal the secret."
Suddenly, the village fell to his knees, looking at me with surprise.
"Goddess…"
"Goddess!"
"She's really a goddess!"
"Goddess-sama!"
The people began to kneel before me, while children began to look at the water coming out of the oasis after so long, and some even impulsively jumped into the water, swimming over it. It might be a bit nasty to do that when others are going to drink that water buddy…
"Hahaha… Well, I guess you can worship me as one! I was summoned from another world by someone named Elfina which we are looking for around. If you hear from someone about a white-skinned elf girl with blonde hair, please tell me immediately okay?" I said. "For now I would like to go see where your crops originally were."
"Sure thing!"
"We'll try to find any clues!"
"Thank you so much for your amazing help, little goddess-sama!"
"Perhaps she's a strong water magician?"
"Not even water magicians would be this incredibly, idiot, she blessed the entire land! No way a normal person can do that!"
"R-Right…"
I could hear a lot of people talking about me. It was slightly embarrassing but I bear with it, as the chief joined with Arianne and the twins, as they guided me towards the area where their crops were formerly.
"Aw, mama, I wanted to create water for them!" Aquamarine complained, as he was resting around my neck like a normal accessory would do. Black and White were also behind my back like normal weapons, and Silva was in her little sheath, I had just used her to cook food as well.
"You wanted to be recognized?" I wondered.
"Yeah! I want to be praised!" He said.
"Haha, you're really a kid, aren't you?" I sighed. "Fine, we can do something about you later, so there's a new myth about the water of this town…"
I had already planned something regarding Aquamarine anyways, but for now, the crops were more important! We quickly arrived at the former crops area, the chief seemed very pained when he saw the entire area completely dried out, the plants that were left there were all destroyed and dying.
"T-This is what it was left of it… Nobody has felt like remaking the farms again due to being so tired due to hunger… We also lacked water anyways, and even less, seeds." Sighed the chief.
"It is quite awful… I was planning on doing something eventually, but the morale of the people had been worse and worse due to the bastards of the country coming to ask for taxes. They wouldn't even let us alone at all… But thanks to the monsters that showed last night, they ran away and we were left alone to die… Well, we were saved by my grandchildren and Kireina at the end. Oh, and that one white spear that was floating around…" Arianne seemed to remember White.
"Me?" White asked, quickly emerging out of her sheath.
"T-The Magic Weapon that healed everyone!" The chief said in shock. "So you're the owner of such a wondrous item that can even talk, goddess-sama?!"
"Yeah, she's White." I said. "She's a good-hearted girl. She'll help us out at growing plants and healing the soil here."
"I will do my best!" White said.
