Three days after defeating the Elder Plant and conquering the Labyrinth.
We stayed in the Elves' town and helped a lot, but in this short period of time, the chaos had already subsided and we were returning to our normal lives.
It looks like everyone's settled down already.
I see. I wonder if this was because the barrier was stretched.
"It seems that the chaos has healed without any damage." Gralier and the others are just as good at their tricks. ”
There was no direct damage to the city because of the barrier, and some buildings were broken or injured because of violent shaking.
It's already been repaired by the cure of Sisha and the magic of Estelle and the others, and you can say it's been restored.
This is the result of Mr. Gralier instructing everyone in the area to keep the chaos to a minimum by the time we get here.
Because we were cooperating like that, even if we stayed in the city now, there were no more elves with unpleasant faces or harsh gazes.
"The elves' vigilance towards us seems to be diminishing."
It doesn't seem like you've been completely trusted, but you've been able to speak up more often.
"It seems that the story that ruled this disturbance has spread." Mr. Freesia often listens to me. "
Freesia was particularly fond of her family, and now she hasn't been helped since she was called out to the Elves.
It looks like the Elderplant was visible from the inside, and Gralier told us that it was us who defeated it.
And now that we've heard the details from Freesia, our reputation has improved.
If the attitude of the elves changes like this, you'll feel uncomfortable, but let's assume you're thankful for that.
While I was watching the situation, I was temporarily returning home, but I stayed at the mile to consider the possibility of another attack by a demon.
However, since then, the demon has been beating through without a trace of dust.
Mirage or a demon doesn't seem to be moving anymore.
"The presence of Karon and Luna is quite a threat." I don't think the demon would be close to where we're going to be, because he didn't show up to be that risky. ”
"Besides, if the demon's words and deeds aren't false, it won't be useful here anymore, will it?" I just came to see the results of what Marignant was doing. "
Indeed, if Mirage's words and actions were true, it would have felt like she had come here on a whim.
It seemed that Marignant was doing it alone, but it wasn't the demon's will.
It's no wonder that when you see Karon rampaging around, or when he's about to take a direct hit from Luna's Kazykul, it's dangerous to get involved with the Elves who were with us.
Well, I can't tell for sure, so I'm thinking of giving Gralier and the others a transceiver and calling us if anything happens.
Just as I was thinking about it, Mr. Gralier came and bowed deeply to us.
"Not only did you help me, but I really appreciate your efforts in overcoming the chaos in my village."
No, it's only natural to cooperate when you're in trouble.
"Fufu, you can help me find Silvarector as a thank you." After the place has completely settled down, that's fine. "
"That's right... I'm probably fine in the city, but I think we'll have to find Silver Lectra for now."
“What's going on?”
"I wonder if the Elderplant went rampant and the labyrinth disappeared, or if there are still almost no monsters in the forest." It looks like the monsters are springing up again... but it might be a long time before the Silver Lectra springs up. "
Come on, if you've solved the cause of the monsters' insufficiency, the Elder Plant that was the root of all the evil has stopped the monsters from insufflating!
... Indeed, in addition to the collapse of the labyrinth that caused the forest to fall and the terrain to change, Elderplant was sucking up vigor from the surrounding trees and the ground, so the impact was immeasurable.
There was no surprise that some kind of power that sprang up monsters would not sprinkle under its influence.
Hah, even with the labyrinth strategy rewards and the Divine Demon Coin I received from Mirage, I had to give up the Pulsarx, which was my main purpose.
Gralier asked me what bothered me when I was disappointed that I didn't get any results.
"Um, do I really have to be Pulsarx?" In the first place, why did you go to harvest fruit? "
"Well, it's going to be a long story... actually, I didn't come to collect it as a request from the Adventurer's Association."
By the way, you didn't tell me why we came here to pick up Pulsarx.
Briefly, I came to get Pulsarx in a personal transaction and told them that the object of exchange was a Divine Demon Coin.
"I see... that demon needs the coin that Okura-sama had, too."
"It is not mandatory, but if there is, I would be grateful. What Mirage got was an unexpected harvest.”
"But then we might be able to manage. In short, you just need to be able to deliver the goods that the exchange partner is satisfied with, right?"
"Hmm, that's true, but... it's something that the other person who can't make a deal with me with money has specified." So it's hard to find a replacement. "
"It's similar... No, it can't be a rarer fruit than Pulsarx?"
"What!? Is there such a thing?!"
“Pulsar is not the only fruit you can get from Silverlect. There is also the illusion fruit, Iris Arx, which we can only get one of in a dozen years. If you don't mind, I'll cede it to you."
A fruit that only one Elf can get in a dozen years!? It's not that precious!
If that's true, then where is Pulsarx?... I'd rather be able to blow up the opponent's terms?
No, no, it's good to get greedy too. "But if it's such an amazing fruit, I'm willing to have an even better exchange partner..."
And while my head was filled with evil thoughts, Nord wanted the fruit with excitement, waving his arms.
"Is it okay?" I definitely want it! "
"I appreciate you waiting, but can I give you something that seems so precious?" And why is there such a thing? "
"Iris Arx is treated as a secret medicine in our city, and it is said that any injury or illness can be cured if you eat it. If you find it, please take care of it and keep it in case you need it. Thanks to the feeding of Sato, I was able to hold on until Sisha-sama was cured. It is stored using Spirit Magic, so the freshness remains unchanged even after it is removed. If you saved my town, I'd be happy to give it to you."
I see, the Elixir was cherished as a panacea for the Elves.
I'm very grateful that you can give me such precious fruit, but I'm a little distracted by the use of such a thing in the trade of Divine Demon Coins.
Thinking so, Mr. Gralier guided him to the largest tree in the area, and as he went into the room built at the root, he gradually brightened up and glowed more and more rainbow colors.
Arriving at the deepest point, the central pedestal was meticulously decorated with multiple long, thin, seven-color shining fruits.
"Ah, that's Iris Alks... it's fruit, but it's a real presence."
"Yeah... it's like a gemstone." I think we can negotiate enough, even if it's not Pulsarx. I'd rather hoist up a few more conditions. "
"However, I am worried that it may be too illusory to achieve value." Even the elves are rarely available, so how many of them could be collected by adventurers? "
"It's certainly difficult to get this with people's hands." However, it is said that I have offered Iris Alux when doing business with the royalty of an old man's country. So if Pulsarx is recognized, some people may know this fruit. ”
Gralier said that and offered me three precious Iris Alks.
Hmm, if you ask me, there's a good chance that it's too cognitive and nobody knows what it's worth.
This is a more precious fruit than Pulsarx! Even if I give it to you, no one can tell if it is true.
If you actually had it, it would probably be an excellent taste, but I wonder if you could exchange it for it...
I can only hope that there is a record of what Mr. Gralier said about the old deal.
Worst of all, let's be prepared for this deal to fail.
Now, as I thought earlier, it is a little distracting to receive such precious fruit and use it for trading.
So I don't know if I can replace it, but in return, I decided to give you a gacha item.
"Well then, thank you very much." Please accept this instead. ”
"As a thank you, I don't need anything in return... what is this?"
“It's a panacea and a hypothesis. With these two, I think most diseases will be cured.”
With these two healing items ejected from the gacha, they will replace the Iris Alx.
In return for being offered all three, give them 10 of each and hand them over to Mr. Gralier.
"Oh, can I have such a precious thing?!"
"We don't use it, and we have a guru, Sisha." Thank you for the precious fruit. ”
"Ufufu, it's an unusually honest opinion on the part of Okura-san that I don't need such a thing, right?"
"Ugh, shut up! In fact, the stock is overflowing!"
Thanks to Sisha, we don't have much to rely on gacha items for recovery.
Both the all-purpose medicine and the hypothesis are in stock like a pile.
I can't bypass these gacha items in my dealings with humans, but I'm sure I'll be fine in my dealings with the elves.
Now that we have what we're looking for... we need to check one thing.
I want to ask you something, but after all, it's better if you don't know the existence of the elves and the city, right?
"Huh? Huh... we don't want to be known as much as we can, but for what reason?"
"I was wondering if I should report the fact that there were labyrinths and demons to the Adventurer's Association and the country. There is also a possibility that reporting will help us take action in the future.”
"It would be very helpful if it was for such a reason, but considering what we have been fighting about in the past..."
Gralier seemed not very enthusiastic, lying face down.
I'd like to report as much as I can because it's an anomaly involving the demons, but if the scene is near the Elves' home, it could be dangerous for Gralier and the others.
Thinking about what to do, Esther made a suggestion.
"Oniisan, don't you think it's okay to put this matter on hold?" We should investigate a lot and then report it, or consult with the director of the association to decide the worst case. "
"Hmm, that's right. Christoph-san can be trusted, but...."
"If you're worried about saying something else, leave it to me!" If you make a soul Covenant, you can tie your words and deeds! "
"Eh, can you do that?"
"I'm a necromancer!" My friends will possess me forever! "
"This necromancer is saying terrible things about you..."
I wonder if he can do that... I'm sure he'll be relieved if he can tie up his words and deeds, but it's a bit hard to do that to Christophe's opponent.
We'll put it on hold for now, and then we'll see if we can still fight the Elves.
