*land of beginnings

*third person POV

After seeing Big One depart the island in the form of a green light, the girls resume their search for materials for Ryza to do her alchemy

Formidable: what is it Ryza? Have you found something noteworthy?

Ryza: this plant caught my eye. what do you think of it

Formidable: it looks like a bunch of weeds. what about it?

Ryza: hmm. That sounds like what I need. let's take it with us

as Ryza was putting the plant away, Klaudia called out for them

Klaudia: Ryza, there are some odd pillars over here!

Klaudia exclaimed, pointing at a set of pillars

Ryza: whoa. looks like the ruins of a building. I'll see if I can break them with my staff. Hey Bristol, mind gathering that rubble next to you? I could probably use that stuff as material

Bristol: but it just a pile of rocks

Bristol looked at Ryza with a questioning look until she realizes something

Bristol: Wait, maybe these rocks are infused with magic or something. Wait, no maybe they contain some rare ore

Ryza sweatdropped at this

Ryza: uhh they're just normal rocks

Alfredo: I totally figured out how it works Ryza. I caught this spider. you can use it as an ingredient, correct?

Alfredo giggled as she displayed a spider that she caught to Ryza.

Patricia: eek a bug! Get that thing away from me!

Ryza: aha yup. Patty's still scared of bugs I see. Anyways you're probably right about it being material though. Spider webs can be useful as well so try and grab a handful of those too

Somewhere nearby, Lila, Shimakaze and Suruga discovered some sort of lake

Lila: seems like this island is sitting in freshwater. you can directly drink the water here

Shimakaze: woah you're right. I assumed we're in the middle of the ocean so i never even bothered to try I supposed that means we're not in a mirror sea but rather a Mirror Lake

Suraga (Thoughts): she's really jumping to conclusions here. The sirens obviously turned this saltwater to freshwater. I don't know why they would do that but

Suruga's thoughts were then interrupted by Ryza

Ryza: That means getting drinking water won't be a problem. Plus I can even use it to synthesize stuff

Formidable: even something as simple as plain water can be used in alchemy

Patricia: So it seems it has a number of uses as well. Normally there's no need to collect water by hand when you can buy it from a vendor

Ryza: Buying things is more convenient but nothing beats exploring new places and searching for your own materials. Also, once I have made myself a fishing rod, we can catch fish and have something to eat, as well as another material for alchemy

Later, once the girls have collected enough materials, they went back to the stone monument and sat down on the ground to catch their breaths while Ryza went up to the cauldron and added the materials they have gathered
