Princess Mermaire once visited Elsein in secret when she was young. At that time, he passed near the nest of the starving corrosive dragon and was saved by Verlaine, who came to capture the corrosive dragon that threatened his people when he was attacked.

"Why did Mermaire visit Elsein, just ahead of Albain? Father says it's so far away and it's too far away..."

"Because Royal Lattice is a branch of Elsein. I was recognized as an adult at the age of fifteen and wanted to report this directly to Verlaine, passing on the western Albain mountains to the north. There was also a purpose to greet the ancient beast chiefs."

(So you crossed that mountain range... it was a long journey)

"No, I was on a black dragon... at that time, my riding skills were low, the dragon was still young, and I had to rest and fly, but I was able to go back and forth in about a month."

"... Kluane... no, Mermaire now has more dragon riding skills than we do. Why did the princess polish your dragon riding skills?

Irina asks, and Mermaire sees her black dragon at the entrance to the cave.

In the Black Dragon and Fire Dragon, the Black Dragon is seen to be more superior, but the banning that greatly changed the form by my fortified bait, the body was also large, and the Black Dragons were defeated in battle, indicating their subordinate will. Banning's wives and children will be so proud to see it.

"... I'd like to see Verlaine again someday. At that time, I wanted to get something that Ratchrist could be proud of."

Is that so? But I think it is against the creed that you, so thoughtful of the Black Dragon, made His Majesty's Dragon drink poisonous liquor. "

"... Verlaine, you panicked because you didn't have a mother. Dad, can't you help a dragon that drank poisonous liquor?

"No... I will explain the situation to His Majesty and change the dragon on which he rides. I will be punished for anything I do. It was my random runaway to seek the help of Lord Verlaine... our people know nothing."

(... I see. However, adding water to the match is the worst aftertaste. I think it's best to detoxify the poisonous liquor... do you still have that liquor?

"Dad...?

Sphere doesn't seem to know what I'm thinking either. In other words, I don't seem to inherit much of my knowledge about alcohol. Is it because it has nothing to do with magic?

Mermaire followed my words and removed the vial of poisonous liquor - perhaps from the valley of her chest. Verlaine herself put the talisman there, but does the demons have a culture that puts something important in their hearts?

"Is there... anything left in there?

"... before I let her drink everything, Irina blamed me, so I have about half left."

"In that case, it won't be effective... no, if you're drinking a little, you'll have to detoxify it and you won't be able to ride your dragon."

Sphere receives the vial. Open the lid and smell it - Spirit Spirit Spirit Spirit also has a sense of smell, and the smell came to me.

The excitation poison contained in the liquid is toxic by twitching around the body with alcohol.

However, this type of poison can negate ingredients with a specific drink. Tree-based monsters also inhabit the southern part of the continent, making liquor out of fruit in the same way, but there is a way to detoxify it when you drink poisonous liquor.

Sphere, tell Irina and Mermaire the recipe, just like I said.

"Yeah, I got it. Um, he said that the alcohol your father gave the Black Dragon could detoxify. How to do this is to simmer the rest of the elf's bath and mix it with anything else, so it doesn't taste good."

Elves living in the woods can be detoxified by some species, even if the poison contained in plant branches, lizards, etc. sticks to the skin.

Snouliard's poison is also vegetable, so it can be detoxified with elf perspiration. This is also well documented, so I've never done perverted research - the rest of Verlaine's bath has never been used to make antidotes, definitely.

"Well, I didn't know that you could detoxify it with something like that... but since Mermaire did it himself, he wouldn't hesitate. Why not gather all the castle elves to enter the baths and collect the ingredients?"

Irina said her face was extremely serious, but Mermaire, who was on the side entering the bath, blushed her face worrying about the only man here - the invisible one.

"... yes, the Dark Elves are more resistant to poison than the Elves... I can't believe there was such a way. Mr. Sphere's father is very knowledgeable, isn't he? Verlaine is also such a brilliant person, and it's why I met your father....."

(Wait... don't talk in a weird direction before you meet Verlaine. Anyway, I'll tell you about herbs that can help detoxify it, so we can get as many as we can. And above all, let him drink as soon as possible. The sooner you drink it, the more time you'll spend detoxifying it... the sooner you'll be back, the better in time.)

That said, Irina and Mermaire take it seriously and nod with a magical look.

"... Irina-san, that was really..."

"... my personal feelings are now in my chest. Before the magic of your lightning strike, I had no choice... I once again realized my weakness. I can't help defending Lord Mermaire's kingdom by thinking that I'm strong because of rank A and all the stuff I borrowed from Albain."

Rank A makes Albain eligible to join the SS. Though it is a thousand people long in rank B, the reality is that there is a shortage of more talent.

"Army" refers to the number, armor, and skill, but adventurers above the S rank can change the situation by themselves, regardless of such a thing.

That's why those who wanted to get their country came out and took Ratchrist.

They instigated Velvechia and tried to cut off our country. If you leave it alone, even after the attempt, it will come after Albain with a different hand.

(... Irina and the others should only think about Elsein. Our country is in a position to interfere with Ratchrist's plight. I entered because I was an Albain adventurer.)

"I think Mother Vel is going to help Mermaire's country. He's always nice, quiet, and looks good at work... but he's very kind and strong. As Mermaire and the rest of Elsein thought."

What would Verlaine look like if she told me - her love of Sphere is not very obvious, but there are quite a few.

"Of course, I love my mother, too. That's why I can't let you go back to Elsein. That's it, that's it, I'll fight with all my might tomorrow. Your father is with you, so you'll never lose!

From the standpoint, I would have to be on Julius's side, but Irina didn't say anything, just looked at Sphere. Eyes as if they were looking at dazzling things.

"... I see the princess's bravery in the sky, too. But His Majesty Julius was also recognized as the successor to Lord Verlaine."

(I'd say it's going to be a good match... but I'll definitely win. Otherwise, nothing will start)

In a true sense, to welcome Verlaine into the Alliance.

No matter how long it takes, one day when I return the Demon King's talisman, Verlaine returns to the Demon King kingdom - I don't want that to happen anymore.

He's the shopkeeper, and I'm sitting at the counter drinking. Because I realized that I wanted to continue that familiar repetition.
