The familiar large iron cauldron reminds Dill of the cauldrons she used to use in the past. Opening the lock of the camouflaged medicine cabinet to reveal a wide array of utensils and exotic herbs, the small commoner's house then instantly becomes the witch's makeshift workshop, and Dill now has to do what she is good at doing:
Cooking magic potions!
Putting the chopped ingredients in, Dill looked at the various herbs and spices in the cupboard, and for the first time, she was excited about the results of her magic.
She wanted to try the [Aura C] skill, but anyway, even if it fails, it will still turn out to be a super tasty dish!
Dill finally decided to try Amber's Abundant Food spell; a small half bowl could feed a large family.
A half-section of muscadine, three drops of avocado, and a small spoonful of full-moon gel... Her thoughts had never been clearer, perfectly blended with her memories, and with the cool sensation of the powdered peppermint cream still lingering in her hands, it seemed to Dill that she could see Amber standing right in front of her eyes, guiding her with one gesture after another before her very eyes.

A large round piece of rye bread was hollowed out in the center and dunked into a stew that was simmered to a creamy, sizzling consistency.
Mrs. Cole couldn't believe her eyes when Dill set the meal on the table. The tattered remains of the earlier meal had been transformed into a big bowl of fragrant stew, and even the hard rye bread had become silky smooth under the heat of the stew.
Dill had even left some of the leaves to feed to Turnip, and the strong scent woke up even the drowsy Lily as she rubbed her eyes; she looked much better already, and her mouth watered as she stared at the dishes on the table.
"I'm studying medicine, and I'm quite good at cooking."
Dill's modest and gentle appearance made Mrs. Cole feel even better, and in her heart she decided that the other party was a virtuous and kind noble girl.
Of course, she didn't know that Dill's mind was elsewhere at the moment. She didn't realize that [Aura C] was so reliable...
[Abundance E]
*When using plants and animals as a spell-casting medium, the effect of an unspecified spell is strengthened to a small extent, and the result of the strengthening cannot be controlled due to the low level.
Wait, what a familiar old friend! So her previous Spicy Lamb Pot and Water to Red Wine couldn't both be due to this skill, right?
The [Abundance E] did enhance its own magic potion, a delicious flavor that even the Grand Witch couldn't resist, but it turned out that it had been strengthened in the wrong direction altogether!
Dill looked at this [Abundance E] with a complex heart, and it would be a lie to say that she wasn't happy. The effect of this small enhancement of an unspecific spell, as long as it can be controlled—isn't this a rather practical magic enhancement skill?
Dill now practically experienced the benefits of inspiration parsing; she finally didn't have to fight in the fog anymore!
Now the top priority is to raise the level of this skill of abundance. But does this thing have experience value that can be brushed? It wasn't going to require her to fight monsters, was it?
"It's so delicious; you have cooking skills comparable to those of a god!"
Mrs. Cole wasn't exaggerating at all; this kind of deliciousness almost made her tongue remember to chew it down. She was sure that the best restaurant in town couldn't make such a superb stew.
She did just taste it, though. Mrs. Cole chose to present the food to her sick daughter first to fill her up. After a good night's sleep, Lily had a good appetite, and the whole bowl of soup bottomed out in one go. Mrs. Cole took her temperature, and it was back to normal.
Mrs. Cole looked at Dill with an even more eager expression, as if she were some kind of angel that fell from the sky. Looking at Dill is not too good; it is said that protecting women and children is also their moon witch duty.
Blessings are returned, and [Abundance E] is upgraded to [Abundance D].
So that's what it means when blessings give back!
Dill looked at Mrs. Cole's mother and daughter with even more eager eyes, as if she could see golden experience values beckoning to her.
Mother Goddess, she's found a good place to brush up on her experience value!
In that case, she only needs to rely on [Aura] to learn new magic, then on [Abundance] to strengthen her magic, and then go to various villages to brush her experience points, and so on in an endless cycle of magic.
Too smooth, too smooth, so smooth that it made Dill's heart utter a sound—again, that familiar feeling of uneasiness.
Mrs. Cole didn't notice Dill's abnormality; she finished the rest of the stew and cleared the dishes on the table, and at the moment she was about to get up, she sat down again.
A tightly furrowed brow seemed to be troubled by something, and without waiting for Dill to ask more questions, she suddenly raised her eyes, her face serious.
"It may be a little offensive to say, but I hope that while you're staying here, you'll never go out at night."

"It may be a little offensive to say, but I hope that while you're staying here, you'll never go out at night."
"A?"
Mrs. Cole looked like she was about to say something, but it was Lily who raised her spoon and snatched it up. "There are big coyotes that eat people!"
"Lily!"
Mrs. Cole looked unusually nervous. She glanced at the young girl; the other was still young, still just a student, a child.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind: "It's an unwritten rule in town not to go out at night."
"Our Jones Town has a legend of a werewolf infestation every few years. When many townspeople disappeared at night, everyone's residual fear is still lingering, so they didn't dare to go out at night."
She looked at the girl's pale little face, somewhat remorseful for having blurted out the town's private secrets on impulse.
Mrs. Cole gently reassured Dill, "Oh, sweet child, the Lord Silver Knight will watch over you."
She added in a mock lighthearted manner, "Actually, I haven't seen a werewolf in person in all the decades I've lived here in the miles, so who knows? Maybe its just a horror story the elders tell their children at night."

Dill silently stares at the looking glass under the table.
[Ominous Omen A]
