The Order of the Fire God is a religious organization that worshipped Ishuto-sama since ancient times, right?

That's right.

Sensei Romanov shrugged his shoulders as he scratched his head.

The mother of Ishuto's faith has many soldiers and adventurers who make a living from battle, and in unusual places, there are many gamblers.

However, the followers of the Order of the Fire God were a little unusual, and they lived their days of training in the temple at the base of the desert zone further than Sakura Orchid, and rarely came down to the hideout.

"Yes, that doctrine doesn't look at the glory of this world, it's just a doctrine of supreme martial arts, aiming for the pinnacle of strength..."

Professor Romanov says.

Yes, there have been some strange rumors in the past few years about the Order of Fire God.

Say, at some martial arts meeting, a warrior who was supposed to be a follower of the Fire God Order was in the dark, and the culprit wore the symbol of the Fire God Order, or threatened the weakness of the nobility of some country, or charged a fee to the Chamber of Commerce.

There are two people from the Church who have such an unusual and unpleasant feeling coming to Kikunoi.

It stinks.

That's why.

Tara-chan!

Before I finished counting the five names, Tara-chan came down from the ceiling carrying the thread.

The tail says, "Can I help you?"" It's cute to stick a piece of paper on it.

Tara-chan, I'll write you a letter. Can you ask Rashid to use it?

If you ask, someone will make a "yes" card for you immediately.

I nodded and admitted the letter to Rasheed and entrusted it to Tara-chan.

Then Tara-chan returned to the ceiling with the thread.

"Rashid, do you want me to watch the people of the Order of the Fire God?"

Yes, his witch spider, Lila, is using her little spider to help guard the city.

It's like telling Tara-chan to keep an eye on the city.

I don't have any trouble telling them that I'm watching them.

But I don't want the people in the city to have any doubts.

Even the Fire God Order is not forbidden.

It's just that they were ahead of the curve, and that they are people who are in line with that ahead of time.

Both of these things, and the fact that Kikunoi is having a disturbance right now, makes him very vigilant.

"I really have a headache from one to the next..."

In any case, the move of Vasa-san to Kikunoi, one of the purposes, was accomplished.

Let's be happy with that for today.

When I said that, Sensei Romanov nodded.

At that beat, the teacher's eyes seemed to be stuck on the paperwork on the desk ─ ─ Lex Somnium's clothes design, and he took his hand off the door knob and approached me again.

I see you've finished your translation.

Yes, it's like you rushed me while saying it's a hassle.

Read the description again.

Most of the materials used are new to me, right?

Ah, but maybe the teacher will understand.

When I thought of it and handed the design drawings to the teacher, the wrinkles appeared between the eyebrows of the teacher who read them roughly.

"Sensei?"

"Is it a transparent lotus..."

The teacher rubbed his chin when he asked what was wrong with him.

Wrinkles remained between the eyebrows.

After thinking for a moment, the teacher opened his mouth.

This is a clear lotus, but I don't think I can get it.

"Huh...?"

"It was extinct about a thousand years ago."

Ah, extinction!?

“Yes, but now you know why.”

The teacher points to the sentence "Fibers taken from a transparent lotus" written on the document.

Lex Somnium was a real person about a thousand years ago, and [Appraisal] skills existed during that time.

Even if you can't reproduce the clothes, you'll know what they're made of if you appraise them...

"Are you saying that a human who wanted the same effect overfished...?"

"I don't think it's just humans, but maybe..."

Oh, my God!?

There were many creatures that were driven to extinction because of human involvement in the previous life, but I never thought that such a thing would happen in this lifetime.

No, more than that.

"That was close...!"

“What do you want?”

I was going to ask the princess about the transparent lotus.

"Oh, that's... I wouldn't be scolded, but..."

"You're too insensitive, aren't you? Even though all the flowers belong to the princess's family."

I mean, you asked me to spill it to the person who destroyed the princess's family.

I just noticed the thickness of the skin on my face, and I feel a little depressed.

The teacher's hand gently stroked my shaved cheek.

"It's not just human fault."Whether it's an Elf or a Beastman, the Dwarves and the Demons must be involved.In any case, it was long before you were born. [M]It's not about you feeling responsible, and it's not about taking responsibility where you feel it. ”

"It's... yes, it's just arrogance to try to take responsibility for what you can't do."

But I need some reflection.

Otherwise, I repeat.

Let us remember that there were creatures that were extinct for man's sake.

That's what I'm talking about.

The effects on Rex Somnium's clothes are too much to give up.

When I switched my mind, I asked the teacher.

"If you're extinct, you won't be able to get the materials... you won't be able to reproduce your clothes?"

"That's right. The lotus seems to be very vulnerable to fire and insects, and the number of individuals was low in the first place."If it exists, it's one of the world's greatest treasures.But I've never heard of such a thing as a bequest. ”

"Ahh..."

Is this stuffy?

My shoulders are sagging.

There are many things that do not get used to.

That's why this story was put on hold the next morning.

As usual, when I met the princess in the backyard, a thin silk fan was shaken.

I wonder if you have something you'd like to ask your concubine?

Eh!?

Uh, did you watch yesterday's meeting with Dr. Romanov?

I'm a little worried.

But now that I'm bothered, I'm sure the princess is losing her mind.

When I shut up, Regulus pulls the hem of his clothes worryingly.

With a little confusion, I told the princess the story of "Transparent Lotus" that I told Mr. Romanov yesterday.

The princess opened her shaped lips.

The lotus disappeared from the earth a thousand years ago, according to the words of the elves of thy master.The reason is just as guessed. "

"Sure enough, that's right..."

"Your ass has disappeared because of the horn...?"

The princess's expression was a little stiff.

Regulus seemed to understand the content of the story, and he was struggling.

I'm probably on the same face.

It is truly sinful to destroy some kind of race for greed.

However, criticism is not easy because the accumulation of history leads to us now.

Shutting up without knowing what to say, the princess flashed a fan and said "potatoes".

……

It's not on earth, it's in heaven.

Huh?

Before it was completely destroyed, we took it to our concubine's garden.

The princess is laughing like a fufu.

And Regulus-kun said, "I'm glad!"And I'm laughing, but that's really it.

No, what humans have done is not good at all, and even if the princess scolds me, I can't help it.

"Even if I scold you, how can I help you?"It's not that you're the reason. "

"Ah, yes, but I felt a little guilty."

"Huh? Well, that's fine. So what do you want to do?"

The princess narrowed her eyes and said that she was hiding her mouth with a fan.

What do you want to do...?

The princess was reopening her mouth when she couldn't understand the meaning.

If you want, can I do the lotus?

"Huh...?"

Swallow the spoken word for a while.

I shook my head slowly.

"I think it's better to leave irreversible things irreversible."

Is that so?

Yes.

Well then, I'll tell you one thing instead.



"There are plants that harvest threads that have similar effects to those of the lotus."That's beside you, too. "

The princess laughed as I opened my eyes.
