Episode 12: I'm here because I don't have one * 1

"Definitely not!She's not for sale!

Carnelia hugs Phoenix in a hurry.Phoenix quickly dived into Carnelia's arms and buried Carnelia in her fluffy wings.

The man who saw such a man and a feather spoke to Carnelia unfortunately and incapable of giving up.

"Can't you do that?

"Yeah! What's the matter?

But Carnelia hasn't lost either.She holds the Phoenix tightly, and the Phoenix sticks to Carnelia perfectly and never leaves.

"You're basically rude!I can't believe you suddenly sold someone else's kid!

And seeing Carnelia say that in the face of full anger, the man thought he was a little rude to the boulder.Correct your residence and start explaining yourself with an ugly face.

"No, I'm sorry.I'm a merchant.It's a guy named Goat Barnes. You've heard of the Barnes Chamber of Commerce?

I don't have one.

I saw Carnelia tilting her neck.Ange, of course, and Lian... oh, I think there's something I can think of.

When I asked Lian a little, he said, "There was a shop in King's Landing.Both the customer and the store had good wings, so it was a good duck... "Let's just say I didn't ask.

"When Phoenix was in this town, a nobleman came to me in a hurry.I was half-hearted, but I really thought I'd have to get it if I were here. "

Some nobleman? I don't think he's from the Dioren family...

Ah, Carnelia and Lian both look disgusting...

"I thought Phoenix would be useful in many places if it was a corner...."

Useful, huh?

Barnes nods when Carnelia answers with a thorny voice.

"Oh, Phoenix's tears, according to legend, heal any wounds.If so, should it be used to heal many people's wounds?

Carnelia was in a little trouble.Maybe it's because I don't even know what Mr Barnes is saying.

But....

"Will you just sell me tears?I'll play the money. "

"Um, one, okay?"

I decided to interrupt Mr Barnes before he approached Carnelia and ask her what was bothering me.

"Did one of the aristocrats tell you that, uh, the Drube family?

Mr Barnes changed his expression for a moment.But soon afterwards, he said, "I can't say that."

... I guess so.After all, the only people who know that Carnelia is with Phoenix are members of the Giolen family and, possibly, the people she met during her journey with Interlia... Otherwise, only the Drabe family who was held by the Giolen family.

"Well, you have to keep your mouth shut about where the information comes from.I hope you'll forgive me.So..... "

"Well, I can't."

Carnelia, who was hiding behind me, once again decided to refuse.

"I'll share it with someone who needs tears.But if you use it to make money, you'll never get busy. "

Mr Barnes flickers a little.In that gap, Lian and Ange pulled Carnelia gently from both sides and quickly took her away.And Phoenix, of course.

All right, good!

"Oh, wait!At least give me your contact information..... "

"Um...."

Mr Barnes tried to chase Carnelia, so I was left behind to interrupt in front of him again.

"Here, here. What are you?Leave me alone. "

"... please don't do that."

I'll just ask Mr Barnes, who seems a little irritated, for the time being.

"She just had a lot going on.I want to leave you alone now. "

"But there are still a lot of people waiting for Phoenix's tears, boy.Would you excuse me?

"Then we'll do it without the money.... if you don't leave her alone now, she'll join the Knights. "

I wonder if I thought it was a little bad for the boulders to tell Mr Barnes that the Knights of the Forest existed.Yes, the Gypsum Statues are strong.

"And those kids, they're from the woods.And Phoenix. "

"Hmm... what's that?

"That's why I can't. The Spirit will never let them go.... well then, excuse me. "

I decided to chase after Carnelia and the others with their shopping bags that were left behind.

"Wait, wait!

Don't wait! We have to evacuate immediately!Run! Run!

Carnelia and the others were sheltering in the Knights of the Forest.Looks like it was Lian's idea.A boulder!

I was about to look around the confectionery store, but the fairies jumped out and led me to the packing place.Maybe Ange asked me to.

"Ah, corn. That's good.I was just talking about leaving my shopping luggage. "

Then Lian looked reassured at the shopping bag in the packing room. [M]As far as I can tell, both Carnelia and Ange seem a little anxious, but it doesn't seem like anything happened on the way here.

I arrived at the table, where I was waiting with a warm tea.That's good.

"I heard what you said.It was tough. "

And Marsen is sitting opposite the children in a packing room with a difficult face.

"If we need to, we'll have to guard them from now on.Yeah... and Carnelia should always have an interior or somebody.I'll talk to her. "

Mr Mersen seems to be quickly changing the shift around the Knights, writing a lot on paper with a pen.Thank you for your help.

"Hey, what do we do, Corn?Must be Olivi's house, right?They told me about my Phoenix.... "

"I guess...."

Meanwhile, Carnelia seems anxious about the future.

That's right. Perhaps Mr Barnes was referring to the House of Drabs as "some nobleman."

"Neither of the Doraeb bastards are busy."

Lian says that in a slightly distracted manner.I know how you feel. [M]Mm-hmm.

Meanwhile, Mr Mersen looks a little difficult.

"Is House Drube involved?

"Ah, yes. Maybe the source of the person who came to buy Phoenix this time is like the Drabe family....."

Explaining the situation to me, Marsen looked even harder and said, "They're the ones who do the busiest things."I'm saying the same thing as Lian...

"... by the way, the Drubs are going to be on trial soon, right?

"Yes, because I am a witness to the crimes committed by Mr. Giolen and others."

Faye said, 'I'm sure House Drub is going to be relieved or missed in exchange for testifying against House Giolen', so without a doubt House Drub testifies against House Giolen.

"So... do you want to talk about Phoenix?

... hmm?

"When you talk about Phoenix in the trial... do many people know that Phoenix exists...?

... yeah.

Uh, uh... oh, my God...!

Well, cheer up.I'm doing fine, too.Bring the Red Dragon around. "

"Yes, that's right...Even Fay Oniisama is still with the Red Dragon, and whether you're being beaten or twisted, you're doing fine.... "

Then I decided to come to "Senpai about getting into trouble because I own a legendary creature," and have Carnelia energized.

I mean, Faye.... because he's been through a lot with the Red Dragon.Yeah. Not only to cheer up Carnelia, but also to report and discuss Phoenix.

"I feel crazy in this forest, but if it's true, it's quite unusual for Pegasus to be a unicorn, right?

"Sometimes there are horses in town."

"Oh, I see.You're out there, the horse.... "

Yeah. Tenma has wings, so unlike a unicorn, she can cross the wall.That's why I come across the wall, sometimes for you.They sell their missing feathers and herbs that grow in the back of the forest, and buy carrots for that money.However, it seems that horses do not have overnight money, and horse shopping does not always take change home.The person in trouble at the shop gives me money saying, "This is horse change."They also give me bread and cheese.I'm glad.

... no, uh, I mean, horses are clever and smart, but, um, where do I start now...

"... well, Pegasus and Unicorn are completely familiar with the town.But... among them, red dragons and phoenix are unusual, so there are times like this. "

Fay let go of the horses for a moment and ended up like that.Yeah. Horses are special, especially when it comes to red dragons and phoenixes.Anyway, it's an extinct creature.

... when I think about it, it's kind of sad.

I was thinking a lot about the red dragons and the Phoenix that I drew myself, and then Carnelia ran out.

"My uncle wanted this child's tears."

Yes. Barnes seemed to want Phoenix, not Phoenix itself, but tears.

"It's better to use tears in places like this than in places like this.... when I heard that, I thought it might be true. "

Carnelia said anxiously, rubbing a cup of tea in her hand and asking me.

"Hey, Corn. I wonder if there's anything useless in there."

"... I don't think so.I don't think it's ever been more useful. "

It's a difficult story. Wow.

Shouldn't there be anything useless?Is there only something useful?

Is there anything useless in the first place?Is there any value in everything?

But surely, there is an effective use... I wonder if it would be a waste of Phoenix to spend time in a town in the woods without much tears.

"Yes... Hey, what do you think of Uncle Mersen?

Seeing me thinking, Carnelia stepped out a little and asked Marsen. [M]Mr Mersen was a little surprised he didn't think he would ask, but he was a boulder adult.He thought about it a little and started talking right away.

"Hmm... if it's harsh, no one who can't help you should be in the community.In order for the helpless to remain in the community, they will need the forgiveness of the helpful.But.... "

Mr Mersen closed his mouth a little lost, but he decided to say it after all.

"Phoenix's tears don't always make the world peaceful."

"... even though it heals your injuries?

"Yeah. For example, if it's money, it's a source of strife.You seem to be aware of that..... "

Carnelia nods.That's true. If you're going to use Phoenix's tears, if you're going to sell them... if you're going to borrow her words, you're going to say, "It's never going to be too busy."

"Besides, if you can heal an injury, you can abuse it."

"Ah, abuse?

"Phoenix's tears are a legendary substitute.A lot of people don't know about it.Then... we can use it as a ingredient to lie that a new cure magic has been developed.It looks like it could be used to scam about the efficacy of medicines.And, yes, if you heal the wound, you won't die, so you can torture me indefinitely. "

... I've heard a terrible thing from Mr. Mersen.Mm, infinite torture...Imagine how scared I was.

"Well... that's why it's not always right to sell Phoenix tears.If you don't sell it, it will be bad if you distribute it. "

That's what Mersen said... Carnelia strokes her head.

"That's why Little Ready Carnelia.You were right. [M]You don't have to think 'helpfully' about Phoenix.Long and short. So it's not the wrong decision to put it on hold... and Phoenix is your dear friend, right?

Marsen bent down and stared closely at Carnelia, who was sitting in the chair.

"Isn't it a little lonely to think of your friends as' useful or not '?

"... that's right.That's right. "

Carnelia nodded a little shy.

"I'm still hanging around in my head.But I'm sorted out.... for now, that's good. "

Carnelia seems to be getting a little better.Oh, good.

... this is what happened to Dioren-san, so it's not something I've accumulated.

"That's right.... well.Okay, Carnelia. Lian.Ange, you guys go home and clean up.Do you have the clothes you bought?

"Yes, that's right!I've bought a lot of stuff, I have to put it in the closet!

When Carnelia got up from the chair, she bowed to Marsen and the gypsum statues who were watching us worriedly, and left the packing room with Lian and Ange.

Once you get out of the backdoor, you'll go around the confectionery shop's backyard, into the woods of the trees there, through the tunnel in the basement, and right into the woods.So don't worry if it doesn't stand out.

"... well..."

And Mr Mersen sighed deeply.

"I'm finally worried about the trial....."

Yeah, I'm worried too...
