Kanna no Kanna

Well, it was Real Judgment's decision, but in fact ... she seems to have already done her. Apparently, after I left the mansion yesterday, there was talk from Forthlyn.

However, although the story was offered, he did not even see that the king would visit himself to offer the request. So I was just surprised. He was just thinking that an messenger or something would come.

Real's final decision is, "If I receive the details of the request and decide that there is no problem, I can accept it."

It was quick to talk about it, and in the meantime, everyone except King Eldafoss and his escort, and me, came out of the sitting room. Originally used by Real and Elven aristocrats, the King's business was obviously higher priority, so there was no way out.

And finally, the request.

"Gathering herbs ... ssuka" "The exact name is" Rixil grass ""

I thought that I would be asked to defeat the demon beasts, so I requested a rainy day. However, if we were to talk directly to the king, we could simply take it and ended up being sorry.

"It is a valuable herb that lives only in a limited area in the rich Eldafoss territory. In addition, if it is not collected and stored in a specific way, it will quickly deteriorate and lose its effect." Why was that "specific way"? "

The king quickly raised his hand and placed the box of one of the guards on the table, which he had taken care of. Locked with a strong lock, the box itself seems to be robust.

The king took the decorated key from his pocket and handed it to the guard, who used it to unlock the lock, opened the box and presented him to me.

I understand why I was chosen.

Inside the box was an ice block that was as large as a human head, and in the center of the ice block was a bunch of medicinal herbs, iced with soil.

"As you can see, the time between harvesting and degrading Lixil grass is extremely short. Therefore, it can only be stored in this way."

You can't pull it out of the soil. It is useless to bring home with the growing soil. As I've seen, Rixir Grass will immediately spoil unless the whole grass and soil are frozen.

Magic "In other words, when I can handle ice, a white arrow stood up"

It seems that there was a magician who could handle ice magic until the other day, but she has been retired because she is old. There are other talents, but his skills are clearly worse than the retired magicians.

Lyxil grasses are found in high-risk areas of the forests in Eldafoss. Sending a half-hearted person is the same as going to the dead.

In that respect, I pride myself on handling ice. He has experience as an adventurer and has done some activities in the woods.

"Of course, let's get the maximum help from here."

The King promised escort and aid for supplies in addition to the role of the bill. The reward is then bouncing.

Regardless of whether he is a king or a relative of Real, I have no hesitation to decline this request. I'm afraid to be frowned upon by Eldafoss folks, but it's too late when I'm a race.

Just ... I'm the opponent "king" and his "reward bounces" words.

し か Is this a chance?

There are risks.

There should be many elves in this country who aren't happy with me, including yesterday. There is no guarantee they will not do anything. And I can't say that there is no back to this request.

But there is always time to take the risk.

The question is ... how important is this request to the king?

There may be some bargaining with the fima here, but unfortunately I have no knowledge or experience in negotiations.

All I have is intuition and courage.

"Is it okay if the reward isn't money or something?" "Umm ... what do you want me to do with this King Eldaphos?"

I turned my stomach to the king.

"... This is a technique for summoning humans from another world."

The soldiers guarding the king gasped. I never expected what I said.

But more than that, King Eldaphos's sharp gaze pierced me.

"That's ... what is it?" "I'm just saying, as I said, I want information about summoning another world as a reward for collecting Rixir grass." "In search of it, what are you going to do?" "Information" Please answer me. Is it possible to make a reward? "

Sixth sensation I do my best to not miss any of the king's actions. Desperately trying to read the subtleties of the king so as not to make a mistake about where to step in and where to go when pulling

"Do you want Takayama to collect the herbs, in a sense, the magical method of summoning another world, which is the highest peak of magic? Isn't that a little too greedy?" Is it? "

The king feels a sense of urgency but does not transmit negative emotions.

It is unlikely that the king would come on a business trip if it was just the collection of precious herbs. Obviously that is an important request.

"Maybe Lixil grass is not just a precious medicinal herb. Isn't it a terrible precious thing to the extent that the king himself makes a request?" "... What do you know about it?" As I said, nothing more and nothing less. "

Seriously, just without jokes. With that meaning, I look straight at the king.

The king broke first.

"... Lixir grass produces a powerful remedy, which is used in the unlikely event of a royal family, and is periodically renewed to avoid aging. We have prepared the medicines and always keep the quality and the number. "" In other words, is the stock of the medicine or its ingredient, Lixil grass almost exhausted? "" ... Unfortunately, both. I used it. ''

The king was frustrated. It wasn't aimed at me, but I'm worried about the breach, but ignore it for now.

We don't need Lixil grass or the healing drugs made from it right now. However, it is too late for the royal family to be there.

It is necessary to secure Lixil grass as quickly as possible.

"However, the number of rixir grasses that matter is small at a time, and it's up to luck to find them in their habitat."

Furthermore, Lyxil grass is useful by itself and is very likely to be a prey to wildlife and monsters. Therefore, from discovery to collection must be done promptly.

If you miss this timing now, you will never know what to discover next.

After a brief explanation, the king nodded as determined.

"It's good. If you've fulfilled your wishes safely, I'll make sure to fulfill them in the name of the king." "I see.
