Queen Hua poked at the word of denial, and Cortina lost the word to inherit for a moment.

Regardless, this one didn't say to give me honey unconditionally. Cortina had also offered a corresponding consideration.

Money doesn't reward the Trents who live in the woods.

So what Cortina presented was quality fertilizer. Precisely the remains of the earlier Fire Giant.

Strong monsters enclose so much higher magic.

If you fermented it, it was supposed to be fertilizer that encapsulated high magic power. You can say this is a treat for Trent. It's a reward that should go well with honey.

Still, Queen Hua has refused.

"Why? It should be an adequate consideration…"

"Well wait, I'll explain. First, we're in the breeding season."

Trent breeding. That means it's time for Queen Hua to hatch the seeds.

There are other events such as the Trentoning of ancient trees in a land full of magic, but that is not a phenomenon that increases in aim.

"We have to give the hatched young trees honey. There's no amount to divide people."

"But... if you fertilize Firegiant, can you produce more honey with its nutrition?

"Regardless, that's possible too. But the land is bad. It's not effective in this lean land."

Indeed, in alpine areas surrounded by rocks, the nutrients of plants would be thin.

But then why did they come to this land? Until you take away the Fire Giant address.

Cortina can't possibly be unaware of the inconsistencies that you see in me. She also said the question.

"Why are you in this land? The forest at the foot should be richer with nutrients."

"A few weeks ago, a thief broke in."

"Thieves? Into Trent's realm?

"Uh-huh. And he took away a few of our seeds. That's why we moved to this beautiful spot for surveillance. To protect the toddler. Thanks to you, you save honey slower than planned."

"Then we need your honey to protect this child, too. You know that, don't you?

Cortina can't give up here either. It is the same with each other that the lives of children are at stake.

Either way, I can take it by force. But we don't feel good about ravaging each other.

"We want to protect our children the same as each other. But I don't want to imitate it by force."

"Mmmm..."

Queen Hua also understands that this is the strong man who defeated the Evil Dragon.

It leaves two upper species of Torrents as escorts, but is not a human resource that can be held up to that extent.

If we appeal to power, they'll have to be ravaged.

"Wait, wait, Cortina. Aren't you in a hurry like a lord?

"Uh... oh, maybe...?

At last Cortina realized herself stuffed with cutting feathers, to Maxwell, who spoke freely.

It was so important to her that my life was at stake.

"Take it easy, Cortina. Of course it matters about Nicole, but you never feel that way, do you?

"That's not going to work either. I don't want my people to die anymore."

Maria slaps her shoulder and calms Cortina down.

To her little grunt who answered that, I understood the cause of my feelings.

It's still my death. That's putting pressure on her to 'let no one die'.

"If... let's do this"

From Queen Hua, a new recommendation was brought to her attention.

Even she understands that we are at a disadvantage. If we go out to exercise our strength, we will be ravaged, so there is no profit in opposing hardship.

So I suppose you thought about opening things up by offering exchange terms.

"We do not want to go forward and perish. But I want to keep the nectar for the seeds."

I understand that.

"Don't rush. And the lords also need honey. For the toddler there."

"Yes."

So Queen Hua turned her gaze toward the foot.

There is a nourishing forest area of the earth.

"If we go back to the foot, it will be possible to increase honey production. There are also giant carcasses."

"Then..."

"To tell you not to hurry. Back at the foot defenselessly, then, they may take away the seeds again. They scratched our eyes once."

The species produced by Queen Hua produces the preschool of Queen Hua - that is, Arlaune. Arlaune will evolve into Doriad, and the whole of it will eventually reach Queen Hua.

And the Queen Hua seed is also used as a secret medicine to prolong her life. That is, it will be a lot of money.

The robbers have already once scratched their guard and snatched the seeds.

Once scratched alert, it would be possible to scratch again.

That is something I would like to avoid as Queen Hua.

"So I want you lords to capture the killer. You can kill him, or you can tie him up. I mean, I want you to never come here again."

"I see. If the killer is gone, we won't have to worry about being robbed of the seed, so we can go back to the foot"

"If we can go back to the foot, we can feed the power of the nourishing earth and the giants, we can produce more honey - not that."

"Sure, then... but there's time..."

"I'd appreciate it if you hand-held me around here."

The cause in the first place was the side that carried out the triggering robbery... in other words, you can say it is in humans.

I don't mean to wipe that ass, but I don't mean to.

Then it would be appropriate to compromise around here. The question is whether I will have it until the killer is arrested, but my symptoms are not so stuck in the wings.

"Cortina, I'm fine"

"Nicole... well, maybe this is the compromise around here. Okay, I'll beat the killer here for you."

"I didn't even tell you to shut up... well, it's the same thing"

Cortina and Queen Hua exchanged hands and finished their contract.

This is how we found the culprit who took the seeds from this forest.
