Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki
Second story: Departure
After talking to Ku for a while, she fell asleep tired.
That sorcery is burdensome for children, as well as for mothers. There's no need for Qu to fall asleep either.
Magic needs to be performed more than once. It's a month from now. Magic powers are stronger by mutating and destroying the magic circuit with specific wavelength irradiation before it recovers, but if you don't pinch it for a period of about a month, it will break completely. This is all I have to wait for because I can't promote healing with magic.
The amount of magic can be increased to the limit by placing a healing period and performing it regularly.
I blanketed the coo and enjoyed sleeping for a while, put my ear on my stomach to see if I could hear a new sound of life, then put a single letter on the coo's pillow and left the workshop behind.
◇
"You're late. Are you ready?
Asur, a blue-haired lady who is Erin's head in a tedious manner, calls out.
"About a little earlier than the time I promised?
I had decided in advance that I would be able to afford to meet up in anticipation of the time for the creation of the cokes and the treatment of the cu.
"Right. But I was free."
He's a selfish man. He was wearing Klao, the chief surrogate, as a guide, but he wasn't satisfied with it. Did you even get a question-attack, Klao is sloppy?
"There's a lot of things going on over here, too."
I wave and call the elves, including Lucier.
In their hands was a hemp bag with tightly packed contents.
"What could that be?
"It's an eye-catching product for sale at the Elsier embassy that Erin has prepared for me. This is fertilizer."
"Fertilizer?"
"Oh, sprinkling this soil makes the crop grow better"
Magic uses the Harbour Bosch method to immobilize nitrogen from the air, and uses it as fertilizer, not gunpowder.
Demand for this fertilizer is high. It can supply the nitrogen and potassium that are essential for crop growth.
Usually, nitrogen and potassium are supplemented with a lot of fertilizer when making soil for a field, but when it comes to a large farm, it's impossible to make enough fertilizer to get it across to all of the fields. As a result, the yield is reduced without satisfactory fertilizer delivery. You should want fertilizer with nitrogen and potassium enough to get your hands out of your throat.
"Hey, can I open it?"
"Go ahead."
Asur opens the bag and takes the black soil and smells it.
"Does this really work?
"I guarantee that. However, it is forbidden to overuse it. For each of those sacks, yes... one field on Asur's right hand side is the right amount. Just sprinkle it, and wheat will yield 1.5 to twice as much."
"That's amazing. So, what's the price?
"Twenty silver coins per bag (24,000 yen)"
"You don't even have a quarter of the fat. If that's all it does, it's a lot of attractive shopping... right. First, I'll buy it all out."
"For what?
"It's an experiment. Separate my fields in half. One side will grow this year's crop using the same fertilizer as the other. Demonstrate the effect with it. That would make the effect obvious, wouldn't it? If it works, I'll gather the best people to present it.
"It's something I don't even wish for, but why would you do that?
"It's in Erin's interest. If it works, you have to spread it quickly, even for a second. I didn't think it would be easy for you to sell it normally. It's a loss for Erin."
"You trust me."
"Yeah, 'cause you're not at least a third-rate liar in a deal"
One day, they gave me back what I said. I laugh.
"Erin's head himself, he's going to advertise. What do you want in return"
"Well, could you not raise the price for three years?
"It's a pleasure."
I originally planned to sell cheap on a single piece of silver coin and then catch the price if I was recognized for the effect.
Doing so ensures profits from less sales.
But if Asur is serious about promoting it, it's a thin profit, and it's profitable enough.
If this fertilizer spreads explosively in Erin, we cannot miss the overall drop in the price of food.
Nearly 90% of Elsier's spending is on food. Food price reductions can benefit considerably.
Besides, we plan to buy more food in the future. Erin had no problems with her abundance this year, but the year of the murder is bound to come. That way Elsier, who is dependent on food for her purchase in Erin, gets stuffed.
In order not to do so, it is necessary to give Erin's harvest and extra food.
"Come on, guys, load it up"
Let the elf carriage load more and more baggage, including fertilizer.
This time, I'm going to teach you how to read the blueprints and how the workshop works, but there are other Elsier embassies that Erin has made. I also have the purpose of saying I'm going to see a mansion where I can do business freely.
For this reason, the elf side also carries a carriage, besides me, the best in the village, Loreu, the representative of the elite unit Irakusa, and his two surroundings. The Firefox is also to be accompanied by Lella, the Gray Master of Ku. Lela and I had eyes.
Lela smiles meaningfully.
Early in the morning, a conversation I had with Lela came to my mind.
◇
On his way under the cu, in his late teens, Lela, a grey firefox full of adult charm, called out.
"Sir, let me tell you something."
"I don't mind that, but I don't have time. If I can do it later, I'll ask you when I get back."
"It's an important story. It's about Master Ku."
"Okay...... let's hear it"
If you're talking about Qu, you can't put it behind you.
"If you were born with Master Ku, can you love your own child even in gray?
Talk about children. That's just the master, and he was noticing Khu's pregnancy.
Gray is seen below with the lowest ability in the fire fox. Lela asked if she could love even such a child. The answer is fixed.
"Of course, I can love you"
"Yes, you're not like that man. If that word is a lie, I will not forgive you."
"Why, I care about that"
"Don't you take it for granted that you worry about your sister as a sister? Well, it's not recognized just because of the blood connection, and Master Ku doesn't know it."
According to Lela's story, Ku's father could not admit Lela, who was born as a grey fire fox, as his own child, in order to protect his decency as a chief, but treated him as a child born in a relative's house.
she said. He said that the ability to make Qu, a genius, say he was superior to himself except for magic, was something he desperately wore to make his father admit.
... I was able to work hard because I believed you would turn around if you showed strength even in gray.
"You didn't hate Ku?
"Hate. I hate you, not in your past form, but still do. I worked hard enough to spit blood reflexes and still got the status that I didn't get. That kid was just born golden.
The fruits of my efforts were also used, on the orders of that man, to make that child stronger. Hate has swelled up during that kid's training. She just remembers what it took me a month to remember, and she was going crazy because of both her position and ability, her jealousy. "
The eyes were stiff, and the words had countless thorns. So much, if you hate me, why worry? I had my doubts, but the words followed.
"... Still, the only one who didn't look down on me and didn't have any sympathy was that kid. He's the only one with straight eyes who told me he liked me. So, I hate you, but I love you, and I want you to be happy. So if you blame her when she gives birth to gray, I will never forgive you."
"I promise. If a born child doesn't blame Qu even in gray, and he loves his child properly"
'Cause I promised.
That's all I have to say, Lela bowed down and left.
◇
Recap ends.
Lella said as if it were a certainty that grey would be produced. And what Kuw lodged in his stomach were the golden and gray twins. Is this a coincidence?
I said I would love any child I had on the spot. But in fact, I applied my hand to force a strong child to give birth. My son, whose magic power has been raised, will be born in golden colour like a cu because the strength of magic is reflected in the fur.
That, in the end, could be the same as Ku and Lela's father in that they didn't admit gray.
Cyril, we're all loaded.
Lucier loaded the last bag onto the elf carriage. Now you can leave at any time.
"Mr. Cyril, do you still have a stock of fertilizer?
"I have stock, but no more carriage loads"
Begin business at the Elsier embassy. I couldn't afford much because I would handle a few things besides fertilizer.
"Then just load it up in the carriage on Erin's side. I want to make the experiment as massive as possible. Naturally, I'll buy them all."
"I thought from you, Asur's a lot generous."
"Invest quickly and to the maximum, my motto."
How dare you say this without confidence in your intuition and analytical skills. I have quite a lot of liver.
"Okay. Fellas, bring everything you can from the warehouse."
I instructed the elves to prepare as much fertilizer as I could carry in Erin's carriage from the warehouse.
◇
"Lucier, I'm coming. I need you to be away."
Finally, the time has come to leave. I'm supposed to be riding the carriage on Erin's side, not Elsier's, because I need Asur and the others to talk about the future.
Before that, I was getting some time to say my final greetings.
"Cyril, are you sure you're going?
"Yeah, it's the only job I can do."
I'm the only one who can teach you about blast furnaces for iron and scout empires.
Originally, I'm an Elsier, and I have to keep it, but I can't afford it.
"Cyril. Can I follow you, too?
"No, you can't. I told Ku, in the Empire, it's the best I can do just to protect my life. You can't keep your feet together."
"Then it would be nice to get to Erin, wouldn't it?
"That doesn't work either, even Erin doesn't mean it's safe. If I leave Erin, I'll have to stay with Erin for a while. I hate it when Lucier's in a dangerous place when I'm not around."
Do business at the Elsier embassy. You can't say you'll pull it up in three days.
Lucier can't go home alone. I want you to stay in Elsier all the time for Lucier's safety.
"The danger is, Loreau, Conna, Lela, they're with you, right? I'm an Irraxa, and I can do business better than anyone in here."
"Right. I won't deny that."
Lucier is loving and calculating. I can certainly do my business in Erin better than anyone else. In terms of force, I can tell you that in the elves, you are second only to me in strength, and you are fit.
"If you're going to Erin, I think it's appropriate for me to go. If there's a reason not to pick me, it's just Cyril's personal feelings."
"Yeah, yeah. My personal feelings. I want to keep my favorite lucier away from some dangerous places. So I won't let you go to Erin."
I admitted without hesitation. If I lied badly, I'd be in the mud, and I wanted to tell Lucier how I really felt.
"What if I hate you?
"This is an order as a chief. Obey."
That's what I said. I can't give up this much no matter what anyone tells me.
Cyril, it's an abuse of authority.
"This is within my discretion. So, please. Stay in Elsier and reassure me. It's hard for me to scout in the empire worrying about Lucier."
"... if they say that anymore, I can't say no. Because it hurts to know the anxiety of having someone you like in a dangerous place. Because of Cyril."
"Thank you, Lucier"
I embrace Lucier, indulge in its softness and smell, and carve it into my heart.
"Cyril, come home safe. As much as Cyril worries about me, I worry about Cyril."
"Yeah, I'll definitely be back."
That's what both Ku and Yukino promised.
Best of all, I promised my dearest Lucier. Whatever happens, I'll be back.
"And Cyril. Lots of cuteness when I get back. That, too, I want a baby, like Ku. 'Cause I'm gonna try harder than ever."
"... you knew?
"Yeah, you can tell if you watch. Cu, I was stroking your stomach, because you seemed so happy. I don't know. I know."
Women are more sensitive to that than men.
"I want a child with Lucier, too. Good luck when you get back."
"You're looking forward to it. Then go."
Lucier has clawed ahead and asked for a kiss, so I respond to that.
Kissing Lucier is special. No matter how many times I repeat it, I never get tired of it. I feel happy every time I kiss you.
"I'm coming."
That's what I told Lucier, and now it's time to get in Erin's carriage.
I waved until the carriage started running and I couldn't see Lucier.
I have the rest of my heart. I don't want to leave Elsier, where Lucier and Kuwe are.
But this is what we need to do to keep this life going.
