CSA 19 - We Still Didn't Know the Name of This Star (Patreon)

I woke up! Good morning! Let's go to the Hanging Garden!

10-year-old kids sure fall asleep quickly. Still a kid, I see. I’ll get an adult body in an instant if I take a growth pill, but since I’m immortal, is there an option for me to not grow like this?
Hmm, I wish I could get a Skill that can modify my body. I want to grow it.

“Permit confirmed, have a nice trip”

I bought a travel permit for the Hanging Garden at a kiosk and passed through the huge Gate. This is a different world! That’s what it feels like! I’m so excited!
When I entered a mysterious space that looked like a swirling whirlpool, I felt a floating sensation for a moment, and then the scenery around me changed.

“Oeeeee!”

There were some people vomiting around the gate, it seemed like they were suffering from something called gate sickness. They look pitiful, so let’s try not to look at them too much.

Hanging Gardens of Ars.

I was imagining it to be on top of a mountain, but it's actually a floating island.
I can see people who can use floating-type skills or magic carrying people instead of elevators.
I also want to obtain those skills and fly around freely.

“It's 1,000 El for the round trip. Here I go then.”

I paid the uncle and he put his hand on my shoulder after which, my body started to float up.
Freedom from gravity. The floating feeling. Did the astronauts experience this kind of feeling?

Once I safely arrived at the Hanging Garden, the first thing I noticed was the amazing view from this high up in the sky. There are a few people vomiting here and there, but I don’t mind them.

“It feels like I can see until the end of the world...”

This is not a flat world, it's a proper planet, so I can't see the end though.

We still don't know the name of this star. I will tentatively call it Earth.
Is there anyone in this world who has noticed the existence of planets?
There was also a moon, but it was called “the light of the night” or “night light.”
It can even be seen during the day sometimes, but not as bright as it is at night, so few people seem to notice it.
The sun is called “Tenkou” (Heavenly Light) and is an object of worship.
I also thought that it was God until I remembered the memories of my previous life.
I also had faith in the sun in my previous life, so that part is the same.

Now then, I’ve enjoyed the scenery enough, so let's start leisurely collecting items.

I wanted to use my Appraisal Skill to examine things like stones and weeds growing on the ground, but I couldn't control it well, and the names, effects, and potency of everything in my field of vision burst into my head all at once until I almost threw up. From now on, let’s carefully and meticulously examine each item one by one.

“Floating stone, floating grass, floating flower...”

It is difficult to adjust the Appraisal Skill.
I suppose there's no point in getting a cheat skill if you can't use it properly.

“Guguh, sky grass... the effect is, slightly reduce weight.”

Just making one appraisal took a lot of my mind.
I won’t make any good progress on the work like this, so I took out the appraisal goggles with only one eye left from my backpack, removed the glass part, pick up some branches that had fallen around the area and used Potion Creation Skill to make a resin, but it turned into a sap potion instead.

How careless of me.

The Anything Potion Kit creates things based on the user's Compounding and Alchemy Skills, but it seems that Potion Creation Skill will only create potions. The Item Creation Guild's mysterious technology is truly mysterious.

Advanced techniques such as simultaneous skills activation are currently impossible for me.
However, since I can extract resin from tree sap using Compounding Skill, it’s not a problem for now. It's a bit time consuming though.

I molded the resin extracted using Compounding Skill into a frame of round sunglasses using the Alchemy Skill, split the glass of the appraisal goggles into two, and attached them to the frame of the round sunglasses using Synthesis Skill.

“The appraisal sunglasses are complete.”

I called it sunglasses, but the glass were transparent, so I used Compounding Skill to extract only the black component from the blackish stone that had fallen around the area, and used Synthesis Skill to color the glass, and this time it’s really complete.
A small round black glass in an amber resin frame.

“It’s outstandingly suspicious.”

In a 10-year-old girl wearing cute clothes, these sunglasses must be quite suspicious.
This seems like a good way to avoid troublesome people who try to talk to me casually.

Its comfort level is the same as the Appraisal Goggles, but it’s nice that they are lighter than the goggles.
For everyday use, I processed the resin into a chain so that I can hang the sunglasses around my neck. With this, it’s perfect.
