Nido Tensei Shita Shounen wa S Rank Boukensha Toshite Heion ni Sugosu ~ Zense ga Kenja de Eiyūdatta Boku wa Raisede wa Jimi ni Ikiru ~

Um, good thing the herbs are for sale, but that's all I'm worried about.

If there's only one sale, I'm in trouble when I can't rely on it because of some bounce.

I don't know because in previous lives and previous generations, there were major problems with depletion due to famine and over-picking.

I wish I had something else to sell that would just be a specialty on an empty island.

So why don't we go to Morijima again?

◆

"I didn't know."

The value of the object is confirmed by Mr. Byrne and the crew of the Good Luther, so I don't think there's anything that would make you want it until you trade it on purpose.

"Hmm, what's going on"

That's how I walked through the woods, and I went out to a place that looked familiar.

"A ruin with a demon gate."

Even when I say ruins, it feels like the site of a residence in the time of the Sky Continent. It's not that rare from me.

"The gate is crushed."

Yeah, the whole weight of the Bahamut hangs, so I can't use this gate anymore.

Well, if the demon is easily no longer in Morishima, then maybe that's fine.

"Hey, Mr. Rex. What do you think I am?

And that's when Mr. Liliera asked me pointing to something black.

"That's the egg shell of the Bahamut..."

Yeah, it's an egg shell, after the chick hatches already.

"Bahamut's Egg Shell!?"

For some reason, Mr. Liliera is surprised to see his eyes round.

"What's wrong with me?!?"

"Because Bahamut is such a demon that they say it's S-rank in S-rank!? Then its egg shell is worth a lot too!?"

Though it was me who almost said it was such an idiot, such a value for an egg shell, it turned out to be quite a bit of a sum for a green dragon on second thought, and there might be an unexpected demand for an egg shell in the Bahamut.

For example, ingredients for medicines I don't know.

"Hey, let's collect it! I'm sure it'll be good money!

"Wow."

"Huh? What?

I was honestly impressed with Liliera's idea.

"Sure, if Bahamut is an S-ranked demon, it's no wonder the egg shell is worth it. Yeah, let's collect it!

Hmm, so maybe other Bahamut-derived materials will also be gold?

That's what we thought. When we recover the egg shell of the Bahamut, we look around to see if there's anything else.

"Is that a scale that fell out of the Bahamut?

"And isn't this a shard of a horn?

When we searched for them, we found them unexpectedly, and when we gathered them, we went back to the empty island to have them appraised by the people of the Good Luther.

"Whoa, we need to recover the old egg shells, too."

"Ugh, I can't believe you got Bahamut material. Wouldn't it be amazing if we new our gear with this?

Liliera was in a good mood the whole time as she left.

◆

"Ko, this is the shell of Bahamut's eggs......"

"This is the scale of Bahamut"

"This is the Shard of the Horn of the Bahamut!?"

I got Mr. Byrne and the others to take a quick look at the Bahamut material I brought home, but things are wrong with everyone.

They are all so excited to behave suspiciously.

Well, Bahamut is a pretty good material too, and I know you'd be somewhat surprised if you enjoyed it and got it, but I'm also a little too surprised.

"Well, how many of these things do you have on an empty island?

"Well, not many, but there might be others if you look."

The sailors of the Good Luther float with the sound of a gutter.

This is going to be gold.

"What do you think, is Bahamut material going to be money?

"Right. I'm not an appraiser, so I can't say for sure, but this egg shell, etc. is stiff and light. Even if cut with a knife in this way, the knife blade appears to be missing rather than scratched. It would be well worth it, not only as a weapon, but also as a material for armor."

Good, this is going to make good money.

"I didn't know the day would come when that abominable demonic material would be gold..."

Mr. Carm, the astronauts seem to feel half delighted and subtle.

Well, because you're the one who's been made to struggle for years.

"But then, it might be a shame that Bahamut is gone. I can't get new materials anymore."

"Fool!

When one of the knights said that, Mr. Carm dropped his genius with the words of anger.

"Ouch..."

"Thanks to Lord Rex, food shortages will be eliminated in the future! Don't joke about that!

"Shh, excuse me..."

How painful Mr. Carm's genius was, the knight has tears eyes.

But you do. Surely if you can continue collecting Bahamut material, you've never gone beyond it.

Hmm, then maybe we should explore where Bahamut is.

"That might be a good idea."

"Huh?"

If you're raising a child not so far away, you might be able to retrieve the material from the Bahamut's nest in the long run.

"All right, let's find the Bahamut's nest!

"" "What!?" "

◆

"Now I think I'll check this one out"

I decided to look for the Bahamut nest. I was looking for the Bahamut nest around the surrounding empty islands.

When you find a new empty island, explore the signs of a powerful demon with exploratory magic.

Repeating it several times, I finally managed to capture a big reaction.

There he is. It's Bahamut.

All right, let's go quick.

"Um..."

And when I tried to make my way to the Bahamut's nest, I heard a reluctant voice from behind.

"What is it, Mr. Carm?

It was Mr. Carm and the Knights of the Empty Island who followed me in my voice.

"Um, are we really going to attack the Bahamut's nest?

No, I wouldn't do that.

"So, why are you going to the Bahamut's nest? And now that Bahamut is here."

"No, I was wondering if I could cover Bahamut and collect the material regularly from the nest."

"" "Huh!?" "

You see me with the face that Mr. Carm and the others are incredible, but in previous generations, it was common practice to raise demons and collect only material.

"The point is, it feels the same as keeping livestock."

"" "The scale of the senses is too different!!" "

What? I don't think so.

"Basically, animals submit to being stronger than they are. Demons are animals, so Bahamut will listen to you if you persuade him a little."

"That's the premise that you can beat Bahamut, isn't it?

"Yes, of course!

Getting material while keeping someone stronger than you alive is pretty tough.

That's what I need to know and experience as an expert.

But Bahamut would, well, if you hit him down with a little temper, you'd start listening.

With the help of people I've known in my previous life, I used to beat demons to make them understand the difference in power.

Strong demons are intelligent enough to understand the difference in power.

Well, some demons are not intelligent enough to understand that, but that's the exception.

"Are you sure you're going? We're dealing with Bahamut, aren't we? We're going to die..."

"Because the magic item that defeated Bahamut is also broken"

"No, it's Lord Rex, isn't it? I don't think I'm going to challenge you without any ideas. Isn't there something you can do?

"Sure, wouldn't it be strange if he had some kind of knowledge that could follow Bahamut if he had not only that much strength, but also a deep knowledge of magic items!

No, it's simply a force move.

"Let's go then"

"" "Yes!

I take my convinced knights to the Bahamut's nest.

"Speaking of which, why do we need to accompany you? It's Lord Rex who can follow Bahamut, isn't it?

Oh, you noticed a good spot.

"That's right, because it will be your job to go to the Bahamut nest in the future to collect material. Anyway, I'm leaving the island."

"Oh so much so that it does...... YEAH YEAH!?"

Mr. Carm and the others shout out surprisingly loud.

"Hey, what's so unscrupulous about it!? I can't believe you can follow Bahamut to us!?"

"It's okay. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do with Gatsun first."

"I'll make you listen..."

"Cu!"

And Moffmoff, who was on his head here, raises his voice.

Moffmoff is also a demon, so I brought him here to see if maybe he could help convince Bahamut.

Well, Moffmoff is still an immature kid, so I don't know how useful it would be to persuade Bahamut.

"Look, Moffmoff says it's okay, too."

"Ha..."

While we were talking, we came close to where Bahamut lived.

In front of him stood the same nest that was found on Morijima, with trees all over it.

Grrrrrrrrrr......

I hear Bahamut roar.

Something like intimidation and vigilance.

But I'm going into Bahamut's nest with my chest up. [M]

You're dealing with wild beasts, so you can't show a weak attitude.

"Keep your chests up and be grand, everyone. The beast will spot the weak one."

"Oh, that's so lame..."

It was then, as if you felt the weakness of Mr. Carm and the others, a black shadow rose and spread the black wings to cover the sky instantly.

"Hino!?"

"Ugh, wow!?"

Bahamut has risen, just that makes the knights float.

Well, they're former refugees, and Bahamut and I have been involved for years, so can't we help it?

"Bahamut, I need to ask you something!

I speak up to Bahamut. [M]

"I want you to give us the missing scales and horn shards scattered all over your nest! I'm offering you the meat of the demon we hunted for!

I need more consideration than making a deal.

Even livestock needs to be fed and the beds cleaned.

And the exorcism of demons is the job of the knights, so if you provide Bahamut with the demon meat he hunted in the crusade, it's useless.

Grrrrr......

Oh? Looks like Bahamut's figuring it out.

With that said, Bahamut pulled it off even when he defeated the Demon Man, and this Bahamut may be pretty smart.

Gwwwwwwwwwww!?

Is that it? Something's wrong with Bahamut...

I mean, did Bahamut sound like this intonation?

Um, Bahamut is clearly acting strange.

Could this be a negotiated breakdown?

And that was then.

"Cu!"

When I wondered if Moffmoff, who was riding over my head, had raised his voice aloud, I stepped down in front of Bahamut.

And he starts to raise his voice to talk about something against Bahamut.

"Cu! Cu! Cu! Cuckoo!"

Grrrrrrrr......

Bahamut also speaks up to respond to the words of Mohumov.

"We're having a conversation...?

Mr. Carm divulges such thoughts about how the Moffmoffs are doing.

"Probably. Maybe he's persuading Bahamut."

I'm surprised Moffmoff can talk to other races.

And you're done discussing it, Moffmoff turns to me.

"Gyu!!"

And then he shouted out loud and jumped into my chest.

"Oops."

I shouldn't, I rushed to take it, so I grabbed my face.

Cholo, cholo, cholo...

Ahhh, I think I surprised you because I grabbed your face.

Moffmoff brought it to me again.

No, really, I'm sorry.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo! Cuckoo!

Then suddenly the moff-moff in his hand began to squeal like a scream.

G., grrrrrrr......

I thought you had protested against me, but for some reason, Bahamut replied to the sound of Moffmoff.

Was the ringing now a call to Bahamut?

As such, Bahamut continued his conversation with Mohmof for some time before gathering the shards of scales and horns in the nest and offering them to me.

Grrrrrrrrrr......

I thought I'd fallen asleep on the ground even more, and he flipped over and showed me his stomach.

Are you going to be a sign of obedience?

"Ba, Bahamut is showing his stomach and waving his tail!?"

"Les, are you showing Lord Rex your willingness to obey!?"

Anyway, considering the material that Bahamut gave us, it looks like the negotiations have been successfully concluded.

Thanks also to Liliera for telling me if I could make Bahamut material for money!

"Thank you, Moffmoff."

I'll stroke Moffmoff for the negotiation. [M]

"Cum! Cum!

Ha ha, shake your tail. You're really nostalgic.

◆

Gah, gah, gah!

The humans are here again. Ah!

I was moving my nest and quietly raising my children, for some reason, for some reason! Here comes the human again.

I didn't do anything wrong!?

"Well, don't be frightened. It's an empty demon."

As I was frightened, the white demon on the human head spoke to me here.

"I am the king of all demons, your savior."

Savior...... you say?

What the hell do you mean, you can beat that person?

You seem to be quite the bearer of power, but I still don't think you can beat the person in front of you.

"Phew, I certainly can't beat a human being who I am today. Let's admit it."

But the white demon laughed invincibly and said:

"But that's if I fought alone. Unless you and I join forces!

What do you mean?

"What do you say? Why don't we take down that human together? If we put our hands together, there will be one of us."

Ku...... what do we do?

I'm pretty sure there's something more unspeakable about the power I feel than this demon.

But behind me is my beloved child.

Can I make a dangerous bet...

"Can you afford to worry? You don't want to die either, do you? Including the kid in the back."

Damn, this demon is right.

No matter how troubled we may be, our fate is in the hands of this human being.

Then shouldn't your fate be cut open with your own hands?

Even if you don't win, you should be able to buy enough time to let my boy get away.

"You seem to have consolidated your resolve. Then continue with me!

A white demon jumps to bite and chop a human throat.

Gassi!

Oh, they grabbed my face.

Cholo, cholo, cholo.

And leaked.

"Yes, if you spare your life... give my husband a piece of your body!

Awful! Really, it's horrible!

Why do I have to give you a piece of my body?

"Humans are creatures who wear parts of our bodies as spoils of war. So if you don't want to be killed, if you give me some of the missing bodies scattered around there, you'll let me live! Because my husband is merciful, and I believe that life alone will save us, whether we are rebellious or not, if we make a contribution!

No, you'll be the only one who defied me.

"Ha ha! I wonder if my husband would think so!? At the time of my troubles, you and I were already a Lotus of Trustees!

Him, that's terrible! That's really terrible!

But in a way, maybe this was a good idea.

The fact that this demon was captured so lightly is nothing more than a sign that even the two of us could not beat this human being.

Then I shall abandon my pride to protect my son without straying.

We'll see at the end, if we really make a contribution, we'll be saved, right?

My husband is merciful.

I see, that's why you're alive.

I mindfully offered the fallen scales and pieces of horns scattered there in front of the human being, and further showed a complete attitude of obedience by falling asleep and showing his belly.

I don't think of any negative effects on children. You're heartless, you're heartless to live.

I think I could make Ning Ro learn how to do things when he meets an overwhelming strong man who can't win no matter what.

Then man was satisfied with it, or he returned quietly with a piece of my body.

◆

The humans are here today.

It is also something that humans are totally accustomed to entering the nest these days.

So much so that they look delicious eating meat from demons brought to them by humans such as my child.

Honestly, I'd like you to stop because I won't be able to practice hunting.

But well. It's very easy because it cleans the nest on its own.

I appreciate being able to focus on parenting.

But, my child, do not be like that demon alone.

◆

Thus, the successful negotiations with Bahamut made the island the only country in the world that could ship Bahamut materials on a regular basis, as well as medicinal herbs.

It will be difficult to interact with the countries on the ground, but the vice president said it seems to be a strong and commercially viable commodity, so if we cross successfully, we will be able to have equal relations with each other.

Well, it's up to the great people there.

And this is a new airship, and I decided to sell it in exchange for Bahamut material and some herbs, as well as magic items that Sky Castle doesn't need.

The use of a privately built airship for national trade was likely to be a hassle with many procedures and rights, so I thought it would be less onerous to sell it.

I gave him a maintenance note for when it broke, so he told me to go to the Adventurer's Guild and make a nomination request to me if he couldn't fix it on his own.

Now that we've finally solved all of Sky Island's problems, don't worry, we can put the island behind us.

"Wait! The rest of the problem is not solved yet!

Well, I guess we should go home then.

"I told you to wait!

"What is it, Your Majesty?

Yeah, it was the Sky King who was talking to me earlier.

"Why do you have more work to do when you finally think you can ensure the safety of your people and leave the throne!?"

"No, even if you say so, the final decision on trade rests with His Majesty the Sky King."

Yeah, because trade is a business between countries.

It is only natural for the nobles, including the Sky King, to work hard.

There is no way that the powerful can be abandoned so easily.

Unfortunately, it was also disastrous that the Sky King was weirdly serious.

"Then that's it, good luck with your last big job in office, King!

"You, too!

We swung off the Sky King chasing us from behind and left the empty island behind.

"It's okay. Leave me alone?

And, Mr. Liliera asks, holding Moffmoff back.

"There's nothing we can do. After that, it's time for the Sky King himself to clean his throne."

We need to cloud the bird trail that stands.

"So let's go home to our friend!

"I'm not free enough to say I'm a faggot."

Gyro, you guys will be back soon, and it might be interesting for us all to go out next time.
