The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

That night.

After cleaning the hot springs, we returned home with compliments from the lord and 10 small gold coins as promised.

By the way, the distribution of rewards is 5: 5 with Sikum's pier and me.

When we all thought about distributing it evenly, from the knowledge we used to clean it, the drugs (acidic mucus), the cloth and the slime were all mine, which raised the voice of rejection from all of you. But I got help cleaning, and no reward is distressing. That is the amount that was ultimately determined.

By the way, everyone at Sikum's pier was buying in a variety of things quickly, like a little expensive alcohol, food, or groceries in the city before they left when they received their reward.

Even though the trip was one because of it, we were going to rent another boat abruptly and split up on our way home, or when we got home and what we bought caught the attention of the villagers and made a fuss that we had made money. It was hard with everything, but it was fun.

Stretch out your body with the futon in the room you are renting, remembering the day.

"Mm-hmm... Huh. I was able to clean it safely, I got some cooking tips, and most importantly, I found a new use for acidic mucus, and today was a full day... yes, before I went to bed"

Acid mucus and its containers left over from using Dimension Home and used for cleaning. And take out the edible rolls that we were feeding for pearl slime and evolution.

The morning I realized that Acid Slime had evolved into Pearl Slime, I remembered the mayonnaise pearl, but with today's cleaning I was coming up with another possibility.

To test its potential, make sure you recognize pearl slime edible shellfish as bait before soaking it in excess acidic mucus. From the surface of the shellfish soaked in the most acidic liquid began to twitch and bubble.

When that stops, wash it with water in another container, and then wash it further into cleaner slime to have the water and debris removed. Then the surface melts, but it feels like fine sandy adhesive hasn't been removed yet. Sink again into acidic mucus.

After repeating the same thing twice or three times, the liquid ran out, so I decided to leave it there overnight. I put the slimes and the tools back in the dimension home and decided to sleep this day.

And the next morning.

Because of the experiments, I woke up earlier than usual this morning.

Confirm the results of the experiment after checking yourself out so that you can leave at any time.

Shellfish soaked in acidic mucus overnight...

"I knew it, just as I thought it would be"

The surface is dissolved by acidic mucus, and a white, beautiful place is visible by the way.

I gently brushed around it and it exposed a beautiful layer of pearls.

“Pearl layer."

That, like pearls, is a glossy substance whose main ingredient is calcium carbonate secreted from shellfish coat membranes.

The pearl layer is not the only shellfish that makes pearls in the interior, but also the kind that exists in rolled shellfish that does not make pearls.

Even Japan, for example, is famous for its "nocturnal shellfish”, which live in Okinawa and elsewhere, and its body is edible.

Especially those shellfish that live in sea water...

"'Appraisal'"

Snaggle.

A type of rolled shell that adheres and solidifies the fine sand and stones surrounding it with the mucus it secretes and deceives the eyes of its external enemies.

Live in freshwater. Edible, common and delicious to crumble.

However, when the heat is applied to the fire, the radiance of the pearl layer is lost.

"Similar shellfish lived here in the lake. And you ate the pearl layer that was hidden inside the shell and turned into pearl slime."

Mayonnaise with acids and eggs of acids, from which mayonnaise pearls are more convincing than far-fetched logic. The questions that accompanied evolution were solved and refreshed.

"... what to do with this result"

Recently, the value of the pearl is said to be “more than I think” by Saleripta, a god. So I think this shell, which has the same brilliance, would be quite a product if processed well...

At least before returning from yesterday's city, in the open air of the accessories I happened to see, there was no line of accessories using pearl layers, even if there were accessories made from brightly colored shellfish. Besides, I think this shell is only seen as edible because I get it every day from the villagers as a lot of garbage.

I feel a little wasted on this.

But it's out of the question to teach this to you and the villagers. Like Saleripta said, it's extremely dangerous. Though I have now been able to get along with Lord Porko... to be honest, I wonder if I would teach him either.

……

I don't think he's a bad guy. Together, though less than a day later, dining together and talking showed that he was a casual personality and admired by the inhabitants. I don't think the attitude of the villagers toward him or him is acting or lying.

It's just, "That's why," should I? Something bothers me.

"Is the lord perhaps not very wary or in a weak position in the aristocratic balance of power?

Because before, Niki, I saw a goblin when you ran away from home. From what I've heard, that was harassed by other nobles, who sometimes send them into Fatma territory.

I don't know how accurate that rumor is, but Goblin confirmed it with his own eyes that day, and he's obviously found a cage or something in the evidence that people's hands got. And that's "common".

... Wouldn't that be strange? Even if it's harassment, a few weak goblins, it's a clean warcraft. If you do poorly, you might get damaged. Even you, Niki, would have been in danger if there had been no secret base then.

Why are you leaving such a thing behind?

Assuming the lord is the kind of person who thinks he doesn't care about the people, he still knows. But then I don't think I'd be admired by all of you who are residents, and I don't think the lord I actually saw was such a person.

If so, isn't it “unattended" and “unable to deal with"?

In fact, “Fatma territory is vast. That's why I couldn't deal with sporadic harassment” and until I could make my way, this one was so poor that people sometimes starved to death.

To protect your people from warcraft crusades or malicious opponents, you need those who fight, i.e. soldiers, and you need food to feed your soldiers. There's nothing you can do about this in the psychology of "effort” or “motivation”.

How far would there have been food to feed the soldiers in a land where the villagers would starve to death?

Even if some battle power was maintained in defense, “the food did not meet the absolute quantity” more than there was a situation of starvation. If we were to feed soldiers under that circumstance, people would be burdened only for that. Given that, we just have to do it with the minimum number of soldiers we need.

So maybe one of the possible possibilities is “simply not enough troops”.

But if this is all, there must still be a hand in asking other lords in the neighborhood for help. Of course, some consideration will be necessary, and it could be a temporary disgrace more than it is considered an obligation of the nobility to protect the territory and the people. However, in the sense of shame, even if harassment cannot be dispensed with, I don't think it makes a big difference in the sense that "my powers are not extended”.

From there it is conceivable that "relations with the surrounding area are poor and cooperation may not be sought".

I don't mean to pepper the rumors, but I hear the harassing culprit is a "nobleman in the neighboring territory”.

“I can't stand a door in a man's mouth," he said, "and there's not a lot of neighborhood nobles and lords that aren't doing well, and the people are guessing that?

And finally,

"The assumption is that the Lords are in a weak position and not doing well with their surroundings..."

Ever since I got to this thought, I've remembered fu in student events.

Though I'm just saying the situation is similar, with no basis or anything.

That was when I was just in junior high. I have nothing special to note, I would be able to afford 1000 if I had 100 schools, I witnessed a very normal scene of bullying.

So I helped one boy student who was being slapped and asked what was going on...

The guy who had slapped the boy and the other guy were from the same elementary school and had been bullied for a long time, but decided to take the opportunity to go to secondary school to get bullied out of the kid. I started going to a karate dojo a month ago, and the day I saw it, I declared it to them... that I was being treated worse than usual as it was.

... Unfortunately, that seemed to me to be a typical example of "honest people see fools”.

I know you want to get out of the bully, and it's not bad. It is also good to have tried to train yourself in karate dojo. But what would you do if you bothered to tell the bully himself?

It doesn't necessarily solve the problem where you rely on teachers, but it doesn't make sense if you don't acquire the strength to do so if you fight with force. I also think we should make sure they don't understand until we have enough strength.

It's only counterproductive, even if you appeal to half-way strength or what you're working out. That's because all you have to do is teach them “I'm ready to take you down," alert them, incite hostility, and stir up bullying.

There is no way for a weak person to "disobey!" and wait for an enemy in a strong position to accumulate strength. It would be "Let's beat it harder" at the time we showed signs.

"... could the Lord's matter be the same as this?

The lord invited technicians to consider food production in rice cultivation, which could also be grown on Fatma territory. And there seems to be a verse where you are trying to improve the situation by learning your own sumo and also being interested in how to work out for the pig tribe, etc.

Maybe the lord can't “deal with" the harassment problem, not "deal with" it, "and now is the time to build on it?

For example, talking about a pearl or something worth close to it is annoying, on the contrary, nothing but a bomb. Again and again, this matter is extremely dangerous, as Saleripta says, if we don't have the power to protect it.

"Then I figured we'd go in the direction of not even talking to the lord... but there's something there, and it's not always in case someone doesn't notice"

... No, you said the sereliptor, too.

“Especially in the Kingdom of Refaul, where you are, because it is a jewel that cannot yet be collected."

and. I think he said whatever he liked about the Saleripta personality, for better or worse, and there would be no reason to lie about the pearl story. And on top of that, "not yet," if you give it back...

"Whoa?"

I heard footsteps.

Sounds like a good time, let's get this over with.

Starting today, I'll be busy for a few days...
