Spirit Growers Travel Around the World - Get Rare Materials and Spirits Grow Rapidly!? ~
(12) Information from Spirit Growers (Previous)
Gereon, the First Knight Commander of the Kingdom of Xanand, rose from the chair where he was sitting and stretched greatly.
And subtle away from the desk towards the exit - almost blocked by a voice as cold as ice.
"Which way are you headed, Captain?
"Oh, no, the... Look, it's time to finish training the regiment, so say hello..."
"That's fine later. Now, look at the paperwork. Or is it over yet?
"Yes, no, that's, you see..."
Benito, the Lord of the Ice Voice, deliberately sighed at Gereon, who knew to turn around and say something.
"You won't be able to leave the room until we finish processing those documents today."
"Oh, that's... oh, oh, look, it's the bathroom, the bathroom"
"I just had a healthy lunch earlier, and I don't think I'm feeling bad about my stomach?
Geleon turned his back deliberately, sealed with all the excuses he had not made.
Another person in the same room was not even trying to show interest in the schematics that Benito, his deputy, was preventing against Guerreon, who was trying to escape from paperwork.
It's a familiar landscape for them, and it's unified as a common perception that it's not a problem to stop.
Besides, if you cover Gereon, you're seriously going to be running away from this place and you're going to be late for work.
In that case, there is no one to take sides with Gereon just because there could be more work of their own around.
Even though he deserved it, Gereon was trying hard to spin his head around trying to twist his reasons for escaping the scene to a situation where he didn't have a single person on his side.
In that, for Guerreon, a word that became the God of salvation was brought about by what came from outside the room.
"Captain, may I?
"What? Is something wrong?
"Visit the captain and we need a customer"
"- Guests?"
With that said, Gereon twisted his neck and saw Benito pursuing himself until earlier.
Benito also knows Gereon's schedule, so he checked just in case.
Guerreon, who reiterated that his memory was correct that Benito had shaken his head and had no plans to meet him, looked once again at the rapporteur's face.
"I don't know if you had any plans like that, but who the hell is it?
Few people come to visit Gereon in the position of Knights Commander without an appointment.
The rapporteur told Guerreon, who naturally asked if he had confirmed his name or so, with a slightly stiff look.
"That's... that visitor is Lord Brave."
Having heard the words, Guerreon looked at Benito silently after lifting Pickle and his right eyebrow.
Benito, who understood exactly what that gaze meant from Guerreon to come with him, immediately rose up with a serious look as if there had been no earlier recourse, etc.

Geleon, who entered the room that the brave man (Philomena) was being passed through, opened the door and insistently heightened his guard that the line was aligned.
I heard they were all here beforehand, but I assumed they weren't just here to talk in the atmosphere of all of them.
Once their expression was not pressing, intuition worked that something had happened from Guerreon's previous experience.
Of course, such thoughts in his head did not even appear in the yawn, and Gereon urged the guests to sit down with a smile on their faces.
"Please have a seat. - So, are you all here for something?
"It doesn't make sense to rush the Knights against each other, so let me just say straight in"
Gereon nodded in his true face to Philomena, who suddenly cut out like that without a forethought.
Her (Philomena) expression made her feel like she was involved in the battle, unlike before.
To Gereon like that, Philomena continued to say with a heavy look.
"How well do they know about the northern anomalies?
Seeing Philomena, who had said so, Gereon tightened his expression.
Although the anomalies taking place on the north side of the kingdom are not the responsibility of the First Knights, the story of unprecedented anomalies taking place is in my ear.
I just didn't think we were going to hear that story from Philomena.
Because I haven't received any reports that they've moved a lot since they lodged an example ship next to the King's Capital.
I didn't know why those girls had brought their stories about the North Anomalies.
Or there would be rumors amongst the adventurers, but I didn't think I had come all the way here just to tell that extent of the story.
Having thought about that, Gereon answered deliberately, rubbing his jaw with his right hand.
"Well, what's in my ear is that there's a variation in the north of the country, and the second survey doesn't know exactly why. And then, as much as that investigation is ongoing..."
"Right."
To Gereon's words, Philomena nodded as she said so.
To be honest, what Guerreon has just said is only information that is conveyed among the adventurers of the King's capital.
I would like to know the extent of the information, but Philomena and the others did not come here, of course.
Nevertheless, I never thought I would get any further information without any handicrafts.
"So, what if I told you I found out what caused the anomaly in the north?
To Philomena, who went on to say so, it was now time for Guerreon to turn a sharp gaze.
"... what does that mean?
"There's nothing like it. Well, from here on out, you'd rather ask Sigel than me."
Philomena, who said so with her shoulders clasped, turned her gaze to Sigel.
Gereon, who, like Philomena, turned his gaze towards Siegel, was only nodding once.
Confirming that, Sigel nodded back in the same way before starting to talk.
"The first thing I noticed were the spirits I was under contract to"
"The Spirit...?
Geleon also knows, of course, that Sigel names the Spirit Growers.
But I couldn't figure out how the spirit of the spiritual nurturer would lead to this story.
To Gereon, who was tilting his neck, Sigel nodded again before continuing further.
"Yes, specifically, there's a spirit-eating outbreak on Mount Kaine in the north."
"Become!?
To that unexpected information, Guerreon flashed his hips in surprise.
You could call it a lethargy for military personnel who are good at hiding emotions.
But not just Gereon, but Benito, who had arrived with me, could not hide his surprise expression in the same way.
That shows that the information that the northern anomaly was due to spirit-eating was so unexpected and shocking to them.
Immediately realizing his condition, Gereon gave a stiff look and immediately bowed his head.
"I'm sorry I messed up.... but I can't believe it, is it true?
"Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's pretty much it. … and once I add, I also confirm this with the Great Spirit"
To that information further added, this young man (?) was how much I had to surprise myself, and Guerreon accidentally maligned himself in the heart.
