A few more days after finishing a series of disturbances with The Insect King and finishing treating the injured in the fairy. The kites were returning to Maxwell with Orgamarie. She also decided to report it here because she was accompanied by Olgamari.

"Well, thank you."

"Aiyi"

Upon entering the city of Maxwell, Olgamarie would wave and break up with Kate by heading to the Union Branch. Well, I was just with you simply to say that the journey was compassionate. If so, it was natural to say goodbye if you arrived at your destination.

"Well... then we need to get back to the guild home and get the herbs in proper shape."

"That's right."

Rui Tree agrees with Kate's words in a twitchy way somewhere. Apparently, you wanted to see my face because I've been away from my partner for a while now. It was an emotion I could understand because I have Yuri as a kite. Of course, you should be concerned about the wound. and Rufaus asked such a kite.

"Oh, Lord Kite. Can we give the seeds to the Cardinals first?

"Oh, I can't do that."

"Hmm?"

It was Yuri who put a stop to Rufaus. She does gardening as a hobby. If so, there would be some reason for that opinion. So Rufaus looked at Yuri over Kate's shoulder.

"What do you mean?

"It's easy. If you're going to give it to me, I need to dip it in a special drug solution."

"Drug solution?"

"Yeah. Kite, maybe we're ready, right?

"Well. Master Ayul will be ready for the medicine. It must have been sent by now."

Kate grinned and nodded at Yuri's inquiry. Because naturally it was Kite who took this request. For once, the Cardinals kept the seeds themselves with Rufaus, but other arrangements were made by him. And this is what Ayul and I discussed.

But Rufaus didn't know much about it. He didn't even think it was such a special flower, he thought it could be planted normally. I guess it was because I was in the army that could still be described as a man's belt. It was a previous problem that was uninteresting in gardening.

"What's this all about?

"Oh... Actually, the seed, apparently, had to go through a lot of work on the seed for one reason that it had been difficult to get it to sprout before. So they're going to make a solution with a special formula and soak it up temporarily. I was supposed to bring what Ayul made to my guild home once."

"Why are you there?

Convinced of Kite's explanation for now, Rufaus further asks Kite. I do doubt this when it comes to questions. Nevertheless, there was of course a reason.

"Oh, or... Actually, there's a better container for our facility. I was just wondering if you'd let me use it until I was ready to pick it up when I was ready."

"Really..."

Rufaus stares at the bag that he has received, saying that there are many things in the flowers. It's not just planting it. Doing something like that was part of the adventurer's job.

"Ma, that doesn't matter... well, let's go home"

That's what Kate tells Rufaus as he stares at the pouch and starts moving. It just gets in the way even if you sit still at the entrance to the city too long. Then just move quickly.

Therefore, we will continue to move further and arrive at the Alliance Home. And I saw cherry blossoms just above the blowout, so Kite raised her voice.

"Ah, just right...... cherry blossoms! Do you have anything from Ayul?

"Oh, yes! It arrived, in the corner of the warehouse in the basement! And welcome back!

"Thankyou! I'm home! In the meantime, I'll get rid of the request first, so just tell me I'll be up later! Rufaus, this way. Everyone else is disbanded, so report to Tenryu and the others, and they'll see you in the infirmary for injuries."

"Ooh."

"It's over, it's over..."

"We have to go to Leia..."

In response to Kite's decree, the Alliance members are scattered in three ways. Even so, the direction is limited. Half go to Leia and Tenryu with Rui Shu, the other half go to the warehouse to pick up the package from those people and clean up the props they took first, or go to the reception for various necessary procedures.

Kite and the others have been asked separately, so I'll clean you up first, that's all. So Kate gets a response from the cherry blossoms and decides to head to the basement with three people, Yuri, Alice and Rufaus.

"Good... uh..."

When Kate enters the basement - apart from the underground training grounds - she moves to the room where she asked me to leave it in advance. That's how a strange object like a single tank was installed in the corner of that room.

"There was... a drug solution... ok. Circulatory...... no problem"

"What are you doing?

Alice asks about Kite, who seems to be playing with various pieces of equipment. Besides, Kate couldn't get her hands off me, so Yuri answered instead.

"Well, in super simple terms, prepare the tank. I'm going to put it in there and circulate it so that the solution doesn't precipitate. I'm putting it in there in time. I need to replace the herbs and stuff... well, I guess that's it. I leave that to the clerks, so don't worry about it."

"Hmm... this looks like a normal tank?

"Because Big Book is a regular tank. Even so, I am applying a little hand... so I am confirming it."

To Rufaus's inquiry, Yuri explains what Kate is doing. So, on the other hand, Kite seems to have finished the work.

"Good... Enough magic concentration, too. This would be a sufficient condition for fertility...... Rufaus, put the contents of the bag in the net there and hang it in the tank"

"Okay... but this is all I have, and you have a lot of facilities."

"Haha. He was originally set up here... I got 30 seeds at the trial site this time. He wants to grow it on one side of the flowerbed."

"Really..."

As Kite instructed, Rufaus puts the thin green seeds that were in the bag inside the fine net of the mesh that was lying next to him. When I finished putting all 30 of them in, I slowly dipped them in the recovery pills.

"... is this good?

"Oh... well, shoot this one at the end... good. That's it, all of it. Well, I'll be back upstairs, but the two of you, including a face show, go report it. It's like going to the office and having it developed first."

"Okay. Thank you."

"Thank you"

To Kite's instructions. Rufaus and Alice express their gratitude as the people of the Patriarchate. Besides, when Kate nods, she breaks up with Rufaus and the others for now, locks them tight in the warehouse, and decides to head to the office.

"Ta-da."

"Just now."

"Ooh."

Apparently, the cherry blossoms went out within Kate doing all sorts of things in the warehouse. When I asked him, he said he was headed for Salia. So the only two people who were rarely packing today were Sola and Yuri, who were supposed to wait.

"What. It's just the two of us... Shit. If it's a flirt."

"I'm sorry to be with you! I can't do this!...... ah"

"... ugh"

Apparently, Sora makes it clear that she is doing everything she says and does properly. Well, they're young lovers. I can tell you that can't be helped either.

but if they can still talk nasty idiots to their friends on a boulder, then they're also horns, regular boys and girls. They were both bright red. And, by contrast, Kate simply wanted to tear it up, but she looks at Yuri and her face from the shelf to the blubber cake.

"" … Oi ""

They're two naughty people the same way. Bright red Yuri sideways. Kate and Yuri turn their backs on Sola and respond with a go-touch. Apparently, he's going to tear it up again in the fold of some drinks. That's why Kate decided to keep the fun for later, so she decided to keep it for now.

"That's good."

"At least squeal!? You don't know what to do!

"Hey, bad, bad. Actually, we have to hurry to the Duke's residence."

That's what Kate tells Sora's protest as she apologizes. Besides, Sola seemingly knows it's no big deal. It is rare for him to return and enter the Duke's mansion immediately. Something happened, I guess.

"What do you mean?

"There's a bit of a nasty story going on over there... worst of all, there's a chance we won't be able to do it without a little big catch. There's a chance we'll get people out in the adventure department... so we have to pack it up quickly."

"... ok. I'll get it ready."

"Oh, please. So tell them I made my way to the Duke's mansion once and for all. I don't want to worry too badly."

When Kate just puts her stuff down for now, she tries to keep the office behind her all the way back. And Sora asked Kite like that.

"What happened?

"… smuggled goods. It's forbidden, too."

"Smuggling? What the hell. Did you even get drugs for demons in there?

"Cigarettes, cigarettes"

"Uh... you can't do it this way..."

That being said, Sola recalls that cigarettes are prohibited in Enefia. Once there was a cigarette-type medicine, so the popularity of a cigarette was there, but he also knew that normal cigarettes were useless.

"Well, that's why. If they find it, they can't pick it up. Tsubaki and Tina... are always there, but they're not there for now. This is a counter-measure meeting."

"Uh... you're actually a bee lord... ok. I'll make a proper excuse."

"Sorry, I asked for it"

Upon receiving Sola's offer and showing his gratitude, Kate moves straight out the window to the Duke's residence. And when I came in that way, I already had all the personnel I needed. Rather than that, we had more personnel than we needed. Than necessary is Salia. Such a giggle of fun as she looked at Kite with her eyes rounded.

"Oh, darling. I can't believe you came home without showing your face to me... that's terrible. Sakura told me you were home earlier."

"Dude... you know what you're talking about, don't you?

"Naturally, right? That's why I'm here. Mr. Cherry Blossom, we've got a good escort."

Salia nodded with laughter at Kate's shuddering half-inquiry. Anyway, I want to ask her for help. This is the kind of contraband. I can't make it on the right route. If so, then it would be the informant's turn.

"Well...... first then. Tina, I'll leave this ingredient analysis to you."

"Um, let's get this over with. I'll finish the meeting by the end of the day."

"Please."

Kate hands Tina a box with cigarettes for now. We need to examine the ingredients in both the ravioli and the corners to figure out what kind of cigarette this is.

It's a natural story, but there's no way they're making this kind of illegal stuff. There are several tissues, one of which may be considered to have come here and been exposed. If so, I needed to find out which product first. I can't move next if I don't. You can't smash it without proof.

"Well... Salia. Does that mean you're moving, like, a couple of staring muscles?

"Right...... well, how much?

"Dude... it's about time you came. Crush me, you mean belly, right? I don't think it's nice to have some smuggling route interrupted."

"Oh... I was the one who raised you, but how did I raise you, did I make a mistake?"

Oh, and I put my hand on my cheek and Salia laughs with pleasure. When you do something like this, it's decided and it's bingo time. Therefore, she also disclosed the information.

"There's been a little rumor from Lord Liddell. He said he gave directives to one armed adventurer to find a way to get cigarettes."

"Well... Lord Liddell did"

Kite frowns slightly at the information from Salia. That said, this is no strange story. The Liddell family is a merchant. Therefore, most of the gold distribution routes inside the Empire are decidedly good that they keep an eye on them. If so, it is their role to move to crush it naturally if there is a strange flow.

"So... I flushed my cigarettes here and there. So, some money was accommodated. I have an offer via me that the Liddells will work together."

"I see. So you're Salia."

Kate understood why Salia was here. In other words, this was a business deal between the Viktor Chamber of Commerce and the Liddell family. Neither is in a position where bad money spreads and good thoughts are not possible.

If you want to fatten your own stomach, Salia can't think about the pain when she finds out - because of the scratches on the names of the brave Kate and the Great Spirit, etc. - and the Liddell family is in a position to be immediately reported to the Empire by insiders. Neither can do bad things. I was on the side of wanting to turn down bad money if I could.

Unless, of course, you shop for bad money. I just can't get my stomach fattened. If it turns the economy around, there's no problem.

but bad money comes out the back route. It's not their jurisdiction. If it comes from them, it's much better to just pick it up and put the bad money in the treasury and turn the economy around.

"Well... so, you're a cigarette. There are several paths to this… two places in the country"

"Amnesty."

"It's obvious. There is a decision. I'm just trying to crush Darling after he returns, so there's no harm in it."

Ask Kate's scratch with her face just saying what is Salia talking about? Security is limited by territory. No wonder there's some kind of gang-like organization out there. I guess that means they grow grass that is the raw material for cigarettes.

"That being said... according to the Liddell family, these both seem to come off"

"Seriously?"

"I just got some info before I came to Darling. It's the newest information, so you can't go wrong."

"Uhhhhhhhhh... does that mean it's foreign..."

Kate sighs at the troubled situation at once. It's both of them in the country, but you can't use Kite's status as Duke on boulders if you're out of the country. That said, that narrows the distribution route to the territory down to a few. That's why Kate decided to give Tina the instructions before she finished her analysis.

"Kuzha, tighten the Gulf Guards as soon as possible. Then stick your secret detective out more than ever. Aura, you play to Your Majesty and see if you can work with the Heisenbergs. That grandfather is a dragon tribe. After all, you shouldn't have any good feelings for cigarettes. Cooperation should be mounted. Stra, you..."

Kite arrows several instructions and flies early. As such, Kite will be working out a policy to clear the contraband from the conference room for some time.
