Legend
2445 words
Ray, who was watching Dasker and Nielsen negotiate, now wonders if the fairy counts as a person, not a horse.
... Though not very much as Ray, given the pranks the fairies are doing in the Trent Forest, I didn't want to count like one or two people.
"And strange things have happened around the woods and adventurers who have been working in Trent lately... is that your fault?
"Right. I think we did it."
"Then I want you to stop that. That prank is causing a considerable loss of work efficiency"
Dasker's words were well understood by Ray as well.
In any case, I have heard from the others that the axe they were using suddenly broke more than one and they were unable to harvest it.
Their job is to cut trees.
There's more than one, to be exact, but it's true that the biggest job is logging trees.
To do that logging, we need an axe, naturally.
If this is Ray, I can cut the trunk of the tree lightly by flashing Death Size...... there won't be that many who can do that.
If so, tree felling cannot be done without an axe.
And I didn't even know Ray, but the axe he uses has been improved in various places to make it easier for me to use it.
That meant I couldn't use an axe I wasn't using so easily.
No, of course you can use an axe like that if you want to.
But harvesting Trent forest trees with an unfamiliar axe is quite difficult.
In other words, it was natural to lose work efficiency when the axe became unusable.
It is now that Ray has returned from the world where Centaur was and carried it together with the trees that had been felled and accumulated, so he has not fallen short of building materials.
However, if the trees cannot be harvested, they will naturally run out of building materials again.
That's also because we can't carry the felled trees and we don't run out of building materials, but because we haven't been able to fell the trees in the first place.
(In other words, I cut trees gradually and allowances in Death Size... No, then I won't have to run out of building materials, but I'll lose my rewards)
Ray watches carefully to see how Nielsen answers...
"Huh? Why do you have to do that?
Out of Nielsen's mouth was such a blatant... that's the voice of things like questioning from the bottom of my heart.
It was Dusker who thought he was going to make some objection, but still he opens his mouth as confused as to whether it was unexpected to be dealt with like this.
"Whatever they say, as I said earlier, this one is damaged by the fairy's actions. I take it for granted that you want it to stop, more than it is?
"That's not what I'm talking about."
"... no?
Not very much, but I don't think this story is anything else.
Dusker thought so, and so did the Rays who were listening to the story.
Fairy behavior… it is an unmistakable fact that those working in the Trent Forest are being harmed, specifically by pranks.
It seems to Ray that Dusker's request is more than wrong this time than it is in such a situation.
(Isn't Nielsen willing to wrap up this negotiation?... No, I don't think so)
If this negotiation doesn't come together, it could suck, like Ray said earlier, to burn the Trent forest.
Of course that is only the worst case scenario, but there is still no denying that this could happen in this case.
If so, there is no need to imitate such as Nielsen's immediate rejection of a suggestion from Dusker here.
Despite this, Nielsen has this attitude.
(Is that a matter of common sense for the race? For a species called the Fairy, does this one thing seem like you don't need to do anything in particular, or something like that?... No, but I think it's only natural that that area should be the subject of negotiations beyond the damage being done here.... don't get lost)
What does the act of prank mean to the fairies?
If you don't know what's going on around there, you can't return a far-fetched reaction.
Why don't you make it a ray, prank? What's that? Something like that, but that's only a story if it's Ray.
If I tried Nielsen, there was also ample chance that he recognized that fairies and pranks were inseparable relationships even when cut off.
That's why I can't imitate anything like this in a detour in this case.
... because if you asked me if I could accept that, I would naturally have said no.
"As for this one, I don't think it's apart from the prank and this negotiation. In the first place, we were going to negotiate because there were a lot of strange things happening in the Trent Forest."
In fact, this story is moving on from the fact that Ray saw the fairy, but it doesn't mean that Dusker is never any better at belly work, either, than being a lord.... Whether you like it or not is another matter.
"Hmm, it is. But isn't that why it's so different to stop our pranks?
"You want me to tell you what's different. Fairy pranks are the ones that make a lot of sense when it comes to this one. If fairy pranks interrupt the work of those who work in the Trent Forest, it is unacceptable."
"That being said, is it absolutely necessary for a fairy to be a prank?
To Nielsen, who says so, Ray questions.
I understand that fairies prefer pranks.
But what does it mean that pranks are mandatory? and.
There is no reason to think that there is anything wrong with this case.
If they say that's a fairy habit, I can't even say anything as Ray.
I can't, but that's why it's absolutely unacceptable for the Rays to make a prank in the Trent Forest.
"Absolutely necessary, no matter why you ask? If this is, for example, eating the fruit of the Trent Forest because we need to eat, this is also convincing. But why would a leprechaun need a prank?
"Because I need it, that's all I can say.... right. Like humans... humans have sex all year, all the time, right?
"No, that's..."
Suddenly Dusker gets stuck in words wondering what to say.
No, it's not just Dusker. Elaine and Arla are also dyeing their faces red.
All of a sudden, humans have been having an episode all year...... I mean, it's the same when they say they're having an episode, so it's natural.
Usually because Elaine and Arla are both historical maidens, anyway.
"Right?"
But Nielsen, who had not noticed how Elaine and Arla were doing like that, told Dusker so, as he put it all against him.
If they say so, I can't deny that word even as a dusker.
Unlike animals that have estrus, it is an indisputable fact that humans - including subhumans such as elves, dwarves, and beasts - can always make children.
Still, Dusker manages to hold back confusion and open his mouth.
"If you say so, there is no mistake. But what does that have to do with this one?
"Of course not. Specifically, if you can stand it."
"... so to give an example of estrus, am I wrong?
To that word of Dusker, the two maidens, Elaine and Arla, nod violently.
If I affirm Nielsen's words, I can take them to mean that I would do such an act anywhere if I had an outburst.
... of a nature close to that - or maybe I could say sexuality - but it's not strange that someone has
"Really? Well, some people still can't stand it, can they? Our pranks are like that. I can't stand it."
To be precise, most fairies who are curious and entertaining don't even think about things like being patient.
Nielsen will probably fall into a rare category in that sense among fairies.
"But... then this one's in trouble too"
"Even if they say so. We can't stop like that. That's clear."
To Nielsen, I assure you, Dusker wonders how he responded.
The Dusker side wants the prank stopped at all costs.
On the Nielsen side, it is impossible by fairy nature to make the prank stop.
Each other's claims are in complete parallel.
(Though in the end, it's Master Dusker who's strong, isn't it?)
If the fairies burn the worst forests than they live in the Trento Forest, the fairies will have to flee the Trento Forest.
Of course, such imitation would require more purchases from others than can be used as building materials for the construction of the Gilm's additions, and would require a huge sum more than originally planned.
That's why Dusker doesn't want to resort to that hard means either.
"If Trent's Forest is gone, the Nielsens won't have a place to go, either? No, maybe there's a place to go, but there's no place as cozy as Trent's Forest, right?
"It's..."
Nielsen can't argue with Ray's words.
In fact, I can't say enough that there's no other comfortable place like Trent's Forest if you try it on Nielsen... but it still didn't seem that easy to find.
"Worst of all, shouldn't we make some compromise here than it could mean Trent's Forest is going to burn?
"But you can't just make the prank stop, because this is... yes, it's equal to fairy instinct if you say so"
To Nielsen, who even says instinct, Ray turns his gaze to Dusker.
That's what the hell we're going to do about the matter and what we're going to do about it.
If that's really not going to stop the prank, isn't it going to have to burn Trent's forest? And that's what I turned my gaze to.
But Dusker shakes his neck beside Ray's words like that.
It wasn't just because the fairies were pathetic that they stopped Ray, it was an act of thinking about what to do to benefit Guild more.
"One thing, I have a suggestion."
"Suggestions? What?
Nielsen's words were not to the position of lord, but there is more to it than the difference between a fairy and a human being.
Unless you're more than just a borderline lord named Gilm, you better not worry about producing results.
"If a species called the Fairy has to play a prank, let's admit it even here. Only a minor prank, though, to admit it. I would never admit that the prank would cause a major injury or... let alone death. And pranks that affect the progress of the additions."
Suggestions from Dusker are not interesting to Nielsen. It's not funny, but it's not so much that I can't accept it.
"So? What do you want over there?
"Anything, as far as I can tell, fairies can make special magic items."
It was Dusker who expressed listening to the story, but he was right that he knew it because he actually had such a story in Gaga.
Nevertheless, it is clear from the fact that some of the magic items made by fairies in the past still exist today that it was based on stories that were actually not just gay.
Of course, it's a very valuable item, and it's not something you can buy if you pay for it.
It doesn't have to be such a kind of legendary magic item, just a few steps below it, so if you can get them on a regular basis, it will be a big specialty for the Guild.
Even at present, there are quite a few specialties unique to the border in Guild.
Nowadays, we ask the green people to grow spices that can only be grown in hotter places, and we also think of manufacturing groundships, although we have not yet built a construction facility.
There are many products that become specialties as such, but if you still try to make it a dusker, there are some specialties that are good enough.
I guess that's why he insisted he wanted a magic item to make a fairy, even if he made some concessions.
And...... that word from Dusker is by no means bad for Ray, a hobbyist who collects magic items.
I understand it's a delight... Ray waited for Nielsen to say something.
