As we made our way outside the mine, we finally reached the surface, a large group of Giants with weapons and armor were waiting there, led by Halberd. The old Giant looked to be incredibly worried, sweating bullets all over because he was concerned about his daughter's safety. Apparently the Giants were blocked from coming here by my Ice Wall, as intended by me, and were all concerned about what could had truly happened.
However, as he saw us coming back, he felt slightly relieved, even more when he looked at Brunhild emerge from our group, she looked at her father as she quickly stared to cry. She immediately ran towards her father, hugging him tightly.
"Father!"
"Brunhild! I was so worried! Are you okay?!"
Her father quickly began to check at Brunhild's body but she was completely unscathed. She had healed herself from a wound she took, and she was protected by everyone else while we fought. In fact, she gained plenty of levels with all of that, so she was feeling very healthy and energetic, which is an after effect of leveling up, especially many times in a row.
"I am okay… I was saved by Kireina and everyone else… They helped me and taught me more magic, and I realized my truest potential. Father, I need to be with them…" Said Brunhild. "If I don't end up going with them, I'll end regretting my decision. I need to experience new things, new challenges, so I can improve my magic and one day come back stronger, so I can protect everyone and… To continue mother's legacy. I also want to one day open a small magic school, and find children talented with magic to teach them from a young age as well!"
"Eh? Ahhh?!" Halberd was shocked. His daughter seemed to have always been shy about her own thoughts and never communicated everything she had in mind to her like now. He felt taken aback. "W-Well, let's… discuss that later, what just happened?"
At the end, we explained to Halberd and the other Giants that an army of Lesser Bone Dragons came for the village. We defeated them all with our efforts and wits, and even took down a powerful Behemoth Bone Dragon variant to boot. With several miners having seen the army of Lesser Bone Dragons approaching before, there was enough people that saw that and the rest of the population believed our words.
We were once more treated like saviors, as the people kneeled before us and called us gods, even. The giants wanted to make a festival to celebrate, but lacked food and water, and were rather tired due to their poor diet. I guess we've gotta do something about this or I won't be able to leave this place without regrets.
I still got a ton of food in my Item Box, but aside from sharing that, it would be nice if I could help the Giants get some better sources of food, food that grows by itself and also a large source of water, which they seem to barely drink here aside from the one they get from drinking blood from the monsters they hunt.
"Alright, I'll try to do something about food and water shortage then." I sighed. "There's no helping it."
"Eh? You can do something?!" Halberd and the other giants looked at me in shock, dropping their jaws wide open.
"Yeah, yeah, Aquamarine, I'll need your help. Also Brunhild come here, let's see if you can learn nature or life magic while we are at it." I said. "Oh right, Sol, you've got some farmer skills, right? Why don't you use them for something good for once?"
"Eh? Ah, sure!" Said Brunhild.
"Farming?" Sol wondered, suddenly realizing, after so long, that his Subclass was Farmer and that he had a few of such skills at level 1. "Wait, what?! I could had helped those desert elves if I knew I had this! Agh! Goddamn it!" Sol began shaking his head repeatedly but he ultimately followed me.
Halberd quickly showed me an ancient hole in the middle of the village that was roughly fifty meters deep. It was now filled with rubble and sand but it once had water inside, lots of it. It was like a natural oasis, and there was even fish they fished for eating. They ultimately ended eating all the fish because giants have too much appetite, and the water evaporated too.
"I see, so it is like that, huh… Well, let's just copy paste what we did back in Ariant's village then~" I said, waving my hand a few times, doing this and that, and boom!
The entire hole was filled with water Aquamarine created just for now, and then I threw a massive cube that was also made from small ego fragments imbued with water element. This cube will generate clean water for everyone to drink as long as they infuse mana into the ground around the oasis.
"A-AMAZING…!"
"WATER… SO MUCH WATER!"
"AND IT IS SO CLEAR!"
"AHH, IT IS SO TASTY AND REFRESHING!"
"HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE WE HAD WATER?!"
The Giants were going nuts. And that wasn't even the end of it. I quickly walked towards a large and empty area inside the walls of the city, where I decided to crush the hard rocky ground and put a small seed inside, covering it with dirt and sand again and adding some little water over it.
"Eh? A seed?" Wondered Halberd. "What you did might be amazing Kireina, but most plants are incapable of growing here. We often find large and poisonous cactuses growing here, we can eat those due to our resistance to poison being rather high but- EEEH?!"
An enormous tree began to pop out of the ground in mere seconds. Halberd dropped over his own butt, shaking the ground with his enormous weight. His eyes were popping out of his face as he saw a gigantic tree grow from a small sapling to a gigantic Apple Tree as big as the walls themselves- no, it became even bigger than that.
"What were you saying?" I asked.
