Magic Gems Gourmet

Dill will accompany you to the lab.

Marco wanted to come, too, but Ain told him that he should stay by Archer's side, and Marco stayed in the castle.

In the meantime, Ain's current physical condition should not be made public.

I didn't lay down a strong gag decree, but I didn't bother to let them know, so Ain was simply weaving a robe and hiding himself.

"The lab is over there, so we're on our way to Lord Mutton's blacksmith."

I wasn't in the noble city.

If you think calmly, you can't build a lab like this in a noble city.If there was no place, it was clear that it was not suitable for safety.

Also, Ain didn't know where it was for a simple reason.

Because to this day I have never been to the newly established laboratory in King's Landing.

It is enough to keep walking after that.

We finally got there a few minutes from the blacksmith in Mutton.

The site is much wider than I thought it would be, with dozens of houses in general, and dozens of pipes stretching narrowly from the heavenly buildings sitting in the middle.

I was drawn to a huge group of magical objects installed outdoors.

Oh! Ain't that right!

I heard voices from the entrance and exit of the lab.

Very few call Ain and forsake him.

Moreover, if you do so with a pleasant voice, you will be narrowed down to a few people.

Turning to me, there were two old friends standing there.

Looks like Lord Bates.

"There's Leonard next door. What's going on?"

"As a guard, I wonder if I should blame him for his behavior as a guard knight, but fortunately nobody else seems to have heard, so I will keep a close watch."

There was nothing I could do about it, and Ain smiled bitterly and asked me to "soften my hands".

He then walked out to the side of his two old friends.

And then...

"Damn... it hurts!?"

All of a sudden, Leonard slapped his butt hard on the forehead.

"Stupid. Your Highness forgives us for being generous, but he doesn't allow us to shout in public, and he doesn't allow us to shout out."

Dill smiled when she saw it.

"Apparently, I didn't have to be careful."

"Neither of you has changed since the old days."

Ain, who also laughed, stepped forward in front of Dill and stood in front of his old friends.

After looking lightly at the state of the bats, he smiled bitterly when he saw that his forehead had started dyeing red, and now he turned to Leonard.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness... But as my father told me, I didn't know your body really looked like it was before.I mean, you know Bats well. "

"Nnh, if it wasn't for the Loeb guy that Dill's guard was taking, it'd be Ein.----But there was something strange about it. "

Bats looked seriously at Ain.

From the side, it is not a place to rejuvenate and is of interest to me.

Yet he says in vain.

"Well, when I think about it, Ain has suddenly become big and come to school, and on the contrary, it's no big deal!"

"No, there will be."

"Really? Either way, Ain is Ain, right?"

After hearing the unusual conversation, Dill shuts his mouth on behalf of Ain.

Ain then opens his mouth.

"Why are they here?"

"It was a coincidence that I met this man.I had a job at the Legal Department and carried my legs..... "

"Because Lorraine called me!"

"Actually, I've been called, but it's a coincidence."

I was happy that the four of them had come together without trying, and my cheeks relaxed.

Same goes for both of us. And the refraining look on Dill's face was calm.

Well, let's go now.

And the moment the butt touched my mouth.

The entrance to the laboratory was automatically opened, and Roland appeared in white.

I can see at a glance that his expression is dyed with fatigue.

"It's been a long time since the sun soaked in it...!They're all here! "

Hey, Roland.

"Sorry for the sudden rush, Ain-kun!Still... I miss it. When I look at Ain now, it reminds me of the past. "

Lorraine, who was as surprised as the other two, continued, adding, "Don't worry, there are no other researchers today."

"--What? Why is Leonard here?"

I just had another job to do.

"Ah, that's right.But that's great! It's been a long time since we've been together like this! "

"Roland, quick, but you called me and Bats?"

"If that's the case... there's nothing to stand up for, so let's talk inside.I'll show you to my room, so I'll move a little. "

Everyone was equally distracted when I let him guide me in the sun, who was delighted.

But when I see him laughing, it seems like there's nothing wrong with him.

On the evidence, looking at Roland's back as he walked out, his tail was shaking to the side with pleasure.

At this time, if you're envious of how easy it is to understand the ups and downs of your emotions, you might be a little embarrassed to find out.

"Wow, wow."

Ain who stepped in and admired the opening the most.

As you can see from the outside, the inside of the large laboratory was not that colorful compared to the underground laboratory owned by the golden route, but it was just about different in size.

"Hey, Roland! What's that big glass bottle doing!?"

"It could not be processed in the conventional way by using the outer shell of the monster and using an alloy."

"Okay, that's enough! I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Yo, you're trying to make an artificially very hard and light material."

"Oops... suddenly I feel smarter."

"This is a mistake, you idiot."

"Uuuuuuuuuu... soak it a little bit"

Laugh at times, talk interesting at times.

The lift was at the back of the line.

Once boarded, it began to move underground.

"By the way, Mr. Bates."

Probably Dill opens his mouth.

Ha!

"You don't have to be so hard, but there was a promotion exam last month.I hear Bats was in on it, too, but when the results arrive, right? "

What the word promotion exam means here is literally in the ranks of knights.

There is no other rank between the Kintetsu Knight and the regular Knight.Naturally, you can reach the summit of the Kintetsu Knight through several grades.

"I passed! I was contacted this morning."

"Congratulations, you're getting closer to the Knights of the Guards."

Well, let's do it.

"Awesome!"

"Don't compliment me. Think about it, how old did the man in front of me become a Knight of the Kintetsu?"

Dill shrugged his shoulders against a bat that looked at Dill as it lit up.

"It may be important to compare, but it doesn't change what Bats did."

"...... it feels like I've earned a personal compliment from His Royal Highness the Prince."

But I thought so.

Bats returns to the story.

"So, do you know how old Dill's guards were when they became Knights of the Guards, except Ain?"

The two men who had been thinking for a while tilted their heads without any easy answers.

Eventually, I was crouching my arms. Yeah, I was roaring, but I didn't get an answer.

In fact, just because I became a Kintetsu Knight doesn't mean I can let the people know.In addition, in the case of Dill, it was the Grayshire brother-in-law, and there were also vague times.

But Bats knew.

When I was a student, I wanted to know more about Dill's strength than anyone else.

"I graduated from Royal Kingsland School at the same time as I graduated.Even I'm still inferior to the Dill guard at the time, so I can't be happy here. "

Dill was a talented boy, and he kept working as hard as he could.That's why I grew up to be a Kintetsu Knight.

Behind it, we must not forget that Marshal Lloyd met with rigorous discipline and training.

----Tyrin.

In the middle of the conversation, a lift with a line arrived at the desired level.

"We need to be strong enough to beat the Red Dragon Medal."

The story ends with a strong commitment.

Everyone who listened remembered the determination and threw a unified message of support.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

What was ahead of me was the living space that I touched.

At first glance, it's just a private house with no windows.

It is not particularly luxurious, and it should be noted that it is a normal place with many magical instruments.

So, everybody took their seats.

Dill handed over a piece of fairy information first, and for a while, silence enveloped everyone.

----Eventually.

"I've been thinking about it for a while, but I think you should come with me."

Lorraine just said, "I knew it."

"Generally, when raw fish are stored at room temperature, they rot quickly.Just like this, the material of a monster called the fairy worm is also a material with that tendency.It's just a statistical story. "

"Maybe Roland called me."

"Yeah, I'm sorry if I can't use it even if you bring me the material.That's why I wanted to talk to you about finding a way. "

In this case, it is said that we should go to the valley without stopping people.

"I called Bats because I had a similar consultation."

Oh, wow?

"I was wondering if I could carry my foot to the border city where Bats' father is.But, Ein, if there's something you've been looking into, it's fine.... I'm sorry. You came all this way, but I'm done by myself. "

"Never mind. I've come here to see a lot of interesting things."

There was a glimpse of Lloyd's manners in the gloriously laughing bats.

It took tens of seconds for Roland, who apologized many times, to raise his head.

"Then, Bats, you can come with me."

So suddenly.

Someone who wasn't expecting said something he wasn't expecting.

"Di, Dil!?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ain.This is not a definitive conversation yet - "

In the first place, the uninhabited valley is wide.Ain was scheduled to be searched by a small number of people, but it was undoubtedly large enough to be impossible.

Rivers in forests, slopes, and valleys.

In addition to the deep fog, the weather is not stable.

It will certainly take some time to search for the fairy nest.

In that case, if Ain is going to join us here, I would avoid going in small groups.Ain's time is limited, and he doesn't have months of free time like he does now.

"I think my father is thinking the same thing, but in this search, we should mobilize the knights."

"Oh, that's why you have the bats."

"Ke, but... I'm not a Kintetsu Knight..."

Then Dill corrected his residence.

She narrowed her eyes sharply and looked at the bats.

"You know why we need fairy materials."

"...... hah"

"This is for Ishtalica. And for Ain.Don't forget it's an important job for our future. "

"Of course!"

"This means that, whether it's a Kintetsu Knight or a regular Knight, everyone could be on the same expedition."

I'm not willing to risk my life to die.

Still, Dill's words are strong and lead to one conclusion.

----That's it.

Safe missions aren't the only thing that matters.

It is only when dangerous work is carried out.

What did you bring a sword to your hips for, and what did you choose a knight for?

All to serve the royal family and to serve Ishtalica.

"Besides, Bates, you seem to be afraid that you're immature."

"Ha, ha! I was worried about getting my feet together!"

"No problem, don't worry about it.After all, if we evaluate the danger level, the monster's strength is much higher near the Old King's capital. "

"Dill... I wonder how it compares to that..."

"But, Ein, if you are aiming for the Knight of the Guards, you cannot be distracted here."

"What do you mean?"

When asked, Dill's cheeks twitched.

I wake up old painful memories and breathe slightly.

Yes, there's something I need to do to become a Knight of the Guards.

"It's a test to become a Kintetsu Knight, but in recent years it's been taking place in the mountains near the adventurer's town of Balt."

"--- Yes?"

"It usually takes a week for top adventurers to climb, but they have to climb and descend in ten days during the exam.Compared to that, I wonder if it's kind. "

"No, I don't understand."

I was afraid that not only the ascent but also the descent would be included in the calculation.

A gathering of the finest knights.

The face of the butt sitting next to Ain turned pale.

But Roland laughed at it face-to-face and said, "Ah!"she cried.

Looks like you were on an excursion.

"If you ask me, yes.Your Highness, as Roland said, don't you remember your school days? "

It was also a memorable event.

"When Dill thinks about the pull rate, it's exactly the same."

"Of course, I am also in a position to give instructions to the knight, so it might be the same if I tried from Bats.--- I don't know. I think the knight is moving (,,,,,,,,,,) in a different line from Ain (,,,,,,,,) … "

"If you want to go, do it."

"Okay. If Father or Warren decides, I'll call Bates."

"Don't worry, it looks like there's a lot of other knights, and there's one more rate this time besides Dill."

Ain laughs and tells the three gentle people.

"Mr. Archer is here, and his strength is mine."

The three who heard it shook themselves, saying, The LORD, that they had remembered their strength.

This is by no means due to fear.

Awesome and surprising.

And... I knew I might have been a little scared, but it would be trivial.
