I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN)

Weena Lane asked me to look into the cause again. We were still walking inside the camp, not at the rendezvous point with Robren.

To say hello to the Caronas.

At the request of Weena Lane, Fran was to leave the teaching role of the Caronas' squad. Besides, losing the power of Wiener Lane, he went into the investigation without even being able to say hello.

Fran seemed to care that he couldn't say anything to Carona or Karna. They won't be the kind of daughters to blame for that, but I'd like to say hello or so.

Heading straight to the tent for the students, inside is Carona's squad and Charles the Adventurer. There were even more face-to-face instructors. I guess he became an escort for the Caronas instead of Fran.

Apparently, he was about to go to the request. But when I found Fran, he greeted me with a smile.

"Fran! Are you back?

"Mm-hmm. Because I couldn't say hello to the Caronas because of the job Weena Lane asked me to do"

"So you went out of your way to say hello? Thank you. But I hear it's an investigation into lake anomalies, and I can't help it."

Weena Lane, they understand the weight of the immediate favor. Besides, Carona and the others were also interested in the lake anomaly as they were born in this country, which was a question-attack from everyone.

Fran tells Carona and the others that Modki is extremely likely after Scarlet Water Potion and advises them to check if there are any Scarlet Water Grasses around them when they approach the waterfront.

Yeah, naturally, you have permission for Weena Lane, right?

Tell Carona and the others not to spread the word on the grounds that they are still under investigation. I told him it was a Weena Lane order, so he wouldn't be fooling around.

I'm pretty sure, but it's still uncertain. Weena Lane feared that if this information spread weirdly, anxiety might spread among the population or that hoisting might become rampant.

It is not unlikely that the witch hunt will not take place.

Thinking about it, I guess that means it's not a good idea for rumors to spread at this stage.

Firstly, it was necessary to establish whether Modki was really after Scarlet Water Pills. Well, they say Weena Lane will look into that, so we're going with Robren to the commercial fleet as originally planned.

Carona and the others look anxious. If the special effects of wind and earth disease were to be targeted by warcraft, it would still be no other personnel for the people.

Of these, it is Karna who is reacting slightly differently. Surprise looks stronger than anxiety.

"Karna?"

"Oh, no..."

She also worried about Fran, and called out to Karna.

"What's going on?

"... Fran, may I have a moment?

Then he stared at Fran with the expression of his will. Keep taking Fran's hand and try to get a little away from everyone.

"… Actually, I have some information I can provide"

"With regard to lake anomalies?

"I don't know if it will connect there yet...... I only want to tell Fran if I can, because this is the information I got checked using my parents' handouts."

When Carona said so, Carona distanced herself in a convincing manner. The other squad members are urged by Carona to do the same.

When it comes to handouts from nobles and chambers of commerce, it may contain a variety of important information. I guess Carona understood that we should just be noble ourselves and not listen to ourselves.

"So?"

"The information is about Scarlet Water Medicine"

Shortly after she entered the country, Karna said she had been looking into scarlet herbs and medicines that used them. From prices, raw materials and efficacy, information was also purchased during the journey.

"Why?"

"I wondered if I could use it as a merchandise."

Scarlet aquatic grass is only recognised in this country as a raw material for special effects of wind and earth diseases. However, it is a magic drug material. Depending on the research, there seemed to be various ways to use it.

Apparently, Karna bought scarlet grass and wondered if it could be sold outside the country. That's the daughter of the Chamber of Commerce.

But that seemed pretty difficult. Not to say it's less life-threatening, disease is disease. Scarlet aquatic grass, a raw material for its special effects and impossible to cultivate, was in a situation where sales outside the country were almost non-existent.

It's not forbidden. However, many citizens tended to be reluctant to ship in large quantities outside the country. Merchants are no exception. After all, considering that there is a shortage of special effects in times of need, it seems to be a two-legged approach to exporting scarlet aquatic plants.

If my job caused me to lack medication, it would be harder to live in this country.

"Still, I was wondering if there was any way, and I was doing a lot of research... I felt uncomfortable at one point."

"Like what?"

"Even if you can't export large quantities, it's not hard to buy small quantities. So I decided to start by buying Scarlet Water Grass all over the place and send it to my parents"

I dared to change the place of purchase because it has the purpose of examining the differences due to the growing areas. Well, sometimes if you don't, you won't be able to collect the number you need for research.

But Karna notices the difference in price. It's usually cheaper near the lake where you can collect a lot, and the further away you go, the higher it naturally gets. Scarlet water grass, however, was the highest around the lake and was sold at the same price as usual around the School of Magic.

Moreover, the reason for the surge was said to be the increase in the number of patients in the eastern region......

"Not happening, such as an increase in the number of people suffering from wind and earth diseases"

"... really?

"Yes, I used my parents' handouts to find out the number of wind and earth patients in each city within the Kingdom of Verios. They say everywhere is as usual."

But there's actually a scarlet shortage, isn't there?

"So where did the scarlet water pills that are supposed to have been sold domestically disappear?

"You know that, too?

"Scarlet water drug distribution is special. One chamber of commerce, which has signed a contract with a successful workshop for development, is in a state of almost exclusivity. And the chamber of commerce is connected to the Reids kingdom behind it."

Seriously. So, this anomaly, Reids Kingdom doing something behind it?

"I still don't know what's going on. However, at the same time as the lake's anomaly, new special effects have been developed and the shadow of the Reids kingdom hangs over its commerce…. In addition, there are indications that the information is being manipulated by someone. If you don't look closely enough, you won't notice the possibility that the increase in people with wind and earth disease is demanding."

Is that Chamber irrelevant to this anomaly? Or is there some kind of conspiracy involved? It's suddenly starting to stink.
