This day, after an early noon, I left the iron country and returned to the airship that I had come aboard.

So Ein prepares several message birds and reports to Sylvard and Warren first.

That the queen's words were not lies.

Besides, he briefly summarized that the involvement of the former counselor almost certainly came about, and said that he would continue to look at the situation for a while.

At night, you will begin to receive the reply.

After finishing dinner on the airship, Ein returned to his room and heard back from Sylvard and the others.

And Ein nodded one by one, listening to two communications.

It's a message bird made by the August Chamber of Commerce, today as it is today.

If I put it on my palm, which resembles a small crystal ball, I could hear Krone's voice from the first message bird.

{...... I said I was fine. Ein, are you sure you can't do this? Don't bother Sylvia and the others. "

During the day, she was contacted by a message bird to let her know that she was worried about her health.

I replied to the words, but I could not help laughing at Krone's voice, and I heard Ain's tenderness trying to embarrass me as usual.

"Ah, but if Ein doesn't come home soon, I might get lonely and sick..."

I think I sent the wrong message.

Krone continued, coughing briefly as if nothing had happened.

It was a slightly higher voice than before, but it was the same as usual, proud that it was able to hide the illumination perfectly.

But Ein understood.

She definitely has a bright red face now.

Let me know if anything happens again. I'll be waiting while I do the work that I can do here. "

This last word concludes Krone's message.

Ein used one of the message birds to send a message to Krone, thinking it was a bit of a waste.

Of course, thank you for the reply.

However, it also said, "Your face is red."

... I didn't mean to say to anyone that they would forgive me for having to tea so much sometimes, but I did excuse myself without speaking up.

Later, I will refund the cost of the Messenger Bird from my personal expenses.

I don't have the opportunity to use my personal expenses unless it's like this, so maybe it was just right.

Just thinking of the thinker warmed her heart, so Ain continued to shed magic power on the other message bird and heard it arrive.

I was surprised to hear from His Majesty.... I still think I wanted to go with you, but I'll be patient. "

Chris's voice continues.

”Speaking of which, just now Ms. Krone was standing in front of the window with her face bright red. When I thought I was feeling sick, I said I failed... What's wrong with you?

Looks like Chris used the Message Bird after Krone used it.

It gave me an interesting story. Ein narrowed his eyes with even greater joy, listening to Chris's words as he continued, and finally responding briefly to her.

He then stretches out his back and looks out the window of the airship.

The vast expanse of plains is where adventurers have travelled many times, and there is an entrance to the iron country that has never been discovered.

Unlike the outside world, however, the iron country was inorganic.

The nature on this plain could not be confirmed at all.

(...... Indeed)

At first glance, even though the iron country is underground, there is a cultivated land zone.

They also hunted monsters that appeared underground and used the flesh of those monsters as food, so they had no trouble with food for hundreds of years.

However, in the last few decades, there has been a problem.

It seems that the soil in the cultivated land has deteriorated over time and the crops are not growing well.

That doesn't mean you don't think you should have gone out sooner.

However, the dwarves of the iron kingdom were left with the ancient teachings that life in the iron kingdom was meaningful. It seems rare to think of a choice to go out if you can remember it by birth in a narrow society. I've heard that other races have invaded their territories in the past, but now that the country has become significantly smaller, I don't think that choice has come to mind.

― ― ― Ain recalls Sylvia's story in light of these circumstances.

I think the contamination of Snow King Rock spread all over the cultivated land over a long period of time.

Ein and Marco and Leonard were going to hit me on the knee.

However, Sylvia immediately continued in a way that the point of convergence could not be reached.

But I wonder if the symptoms of the past ten years are bothering me.

I know that the pollution of Snow King Rock progressed over a long period of time, but I wondered, for example, whether it would suddenly show visible effects in the past few decades.

Silvia, who was curious about it, said to Gid, "Has there been a major incident in the last ten years? When I heard, Giddo said, 'No. When it comes to prominence... the Queen must have been born."

"Then I wonder if the queen was born with a special skill..."

(It didn't feel like that, did it?)

For example, poisoning them.

The power to pollute the earth around them.

It was a terribly vague idea, but Ein couldn't feel any of that power.

So Ein doesn't think much of the possibility that the Queen contaminated the cultivated land. In that case, the question of the existence of Snow King Rock would return, but then Sylvia's question became a concern.

Let's just check it out.

New information that I learned in the Iron Nation. On the issue of arable land.

Ein took out a new message bird and contacted Warren in the capital to ask the Queen if this was a mistake.

And then, when I'm done with it.

It's me, Ein-sama.

Marco's voice reaches the knock he heard from outside the room.

When Ein said, "You can come in," he immediately stepped in.

Sylvia-sama wants you. If you have a moment, please let me know. ”

"Nh, Rikaa. ― ― ― ― But what's the matter?

He said he wanted to do a little bit of help with the cultivated land.

"... about arable land?"

Yes, Sylvia-sama told me about it.

I thought it was a story of healing the cultivated land with the power of Ein, but it was such an honest story.

I didn't think that Sylvia would make it easier for me to make sense of my opponent, so I twisted my neck.

(In the meantime, let's hear it.)

Either way, this is just Ein's prediction, so you should ask Sylvia herself for the truth.

Ein thinks so, he gets up from the chair he's been sitting in, and leaves the room with Marco.

And he guided him to Sylvia's chamber.

As she stepped into the room, she invited Ein with a dazzling smile.

Look at him, sitting next to him, and she says:

The problem of cultivating the soil inspired the iron country to go out.

"I see. The queen is definitely running out of food, too... oh, I see." Was that what you meant? "

Ein clapped his hands as soon as he noticed.

"As a mother, I think there is something behind it, apart from the former counselor."

"Yeah, that's right."

“Okay, let's go check on the cultivated land tomorrow.”

Ain nodded immediately.

And Sylvia loosened her cheeks.

Maybe you'll find something interesting there.

The Sylvia smiles gracefully.

Ein was curious about the funny stuff, but how about a cup of tea from Sylvia right away? I missed the opportunity to ask because I was invited to do so.
