Spirit Growers Travel Around the World - Get Rare Materials and Spirits Grow Rapidly!? ~
(23) Compensation determination
Within the day of the defeat of the Spirit Eater, the Amateras, carrying Andre and some knights, returned to the king's capital.
Down from the Amateras, where we have stayed a little outside the King's Capital as before, Andre takes a line to the Royal Castle.
Sigels, who dropped it off, rested on board for a while.
Based on reports from the returning Andre's, the rewards for the Sigels will be determined.
Afterwards, it was already a matter of decision for Siegels to be called to the castle to officially receive the reward.
For once, Andre told me at the previous stage that the spirit-eating drops Sigel also sought locally would almost certainly be part of the reward.
The problem is that there seems to be a variety of reactions from some in terms of what to do with other rewards, and it's taking some time to adjust that.
It was just that Andre, who was also looking at the actual situation at the scene, had returned and would soon settle down where he should be.
And the day after I dropped off Andre and the others.
Several horse-ridden knights came with carriages in positions visible from the Amateras.
Waiting to the extent that it doesn't catch on to the spirits who are on alert for crime prevention would be proof that they are gathering information properly.
Towards those knights, Sigel called out of the boat before they could scream anything from the outside.
When Sigel called out, the knights, who were surprised at first, were in a position to quickly regain calm and wait on the spot.
Even so, that time is about an hour, and the ready Sigels will be boarding the carriage.
Whether time is a long or a short time is where the debate divides, but I guess it's not too late, considering that climbing the castle makes the women perfectly tempted.
Sigel was somewhat harassed by keeping the knights waiting, but the women looked at it naturally, headed by Laura, who is most used to these things.
The knights were also properly guessing why they were waiting, especially when they had arrived to escort the carriages the Sigels would ride without showing dissatisfaction.

On this day, the Sigels were invited to the castle not to formally award the reward, but to determine its content at the previous stage.
Since Siegel will have crusaded in the main this battle, there will be a proper awards ceremony later, but not an on-the-spot interaction.
This way we can prevent accidents on the spot, so it's beneficial to each other.
By the way, if you do something that comes with a toy on the day, those who do such an act will be condemned.
There were several martial officers gathered in the discussion, starting with Andre, who was on the scene the same day with several officials from the civilian side.
I don't have a king, but I do have a senior official who has the right to decide as a matter of course, starting with Andre.
"- So let's get started"
That's how the top of the civilian side cut it out, and the discussion began.
"I'll start by talking about it, but when it comes to awarding the example crystals that you were proposing, it turns out there's no problem."
"Really? By saying that, do you mean there's something else?
Negotiations on these occasions are essentially to be conducted by Laura.
This was not something someone had mentioned, it was happening naturally.
"Of course. And in some cases, it's going to cause a lot of damage in the country."
"If you're referring to that, I think it's because of the previous stage of activity of the knights in the first place?
"Including that."
When the clerk said so in case, Laura pulled back by saying "Really?" without checking any further.
If you only listen to something, Laura seems to be more reluctant to pay off, but she actually deliberately makes it that way.
As for the Kingdom side, I don't want them to think I'm ketching on rewards, and as for the Laura side, I don't want them to think I'm disappointed in rewards.
No matter how much of the previous discussion, the rush has begun subtly in these places.
However, the rush in this case may not be to confirm the competence of those who are actually negotiating, but to show those who will later ascertain their history.
Both Civilian Rep and Laura have found out about it, and they dare to have this kind of interaction.
The Sigels did not pinch their mouths the way Laura did on this occasion.
Because I had heard from Laura that it would be this kind of flow, to some extent in advance.
"- So what else can I get you?
"Right. As for this one, I wanted to give him a medal and a title..."
"You don't need that"
To Laura, who had clearly said no, the clerk nodded, convinced, "Is it still the case?"
If you receive a medal from a particular country, you may be considered to have colored that country alone.
Philomena, a brave man, naturally takes the view that Sigel, who actually fought the battle, would not be preferable to wear those colors either.
The Kingdom side has also dared to offer its reward after figuring out those thoughts of the Siegels.
This is also an exchange based on the assumption that it will be rejected, as was the case with the earlier exchange.
After such an exchange, and after deciding on the amount of money, a civilian has mentioned this.
"- So, the next will be the end of what this one presents..."
"Is there anything else yet?
For Laura's part, she thought it was enough to get money and example crystals, so it was a somewhat unexpected development that the civil servants have presented further.
"Yeah. It's not a very favorable thing, but I'd like to decide that this crusade was done through a request by the Alliance. It's painful to call this a reward."
"It 's-- sure, you might need it"
It was Laura who showed herself worried for a moment about what the civilian said, but she nodded with a immediately convincing look.
This spirit-eating crusade came to an end with little involvement of the Adventurer Alliance.
It is an indisputable fact that, from those who normally live, it will take the form of deprivation of the dignity of the guild, although that is not to say otherwise.
I don't need the country to care about that if it was meant to be, but given that it's the numerous adventurers who are crusading demons in the country, it's natural to assume that you don't really want to leave them alone.
That's how I twisted it out, that the Sigels decided to move through the Alliance's request.
It's not a very meaningful proposition from the Sigels, but it's not like I would categorically reject it.
Everything that was administrative and procedural was meant to be done by the state and the guild, so it was decided to accept the proposal once Laura had confirmed it to everyone.
This result determines Siegel's promotion to the Alliance Rank combined with the points he has previously saved in the tunnel, but that is another story.
