Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Ai was the deputy leader of the major strategic band "Knights of the Great Eagle".

Originally, she was invited to join the band that her brother had made with his companions, and she was entrusted to a position at the end of the press, but now she likes it unexpectedly.

The deputy commander was the knight's number two. I have to do important work on behalf of my busy leader. For example, a meeting with the leader of a band that has a close cooperation relationship with "Shirakukan" is one of the very important tasks that cannot be entrusted to other ordinary members of the delegation.

Hello, Reggie-san.

"Hey, Aye. Welcome."

This villa in Wadatsumi is exclusively used as a base by the Shirataku An. I'm sure that's why I get so nervous whenever I come here, because it's such an important mission.

Eye, greeted by Ledge, offers him a souvenir she brought with her. It is a Knights' bun developed under the leadership of the Knights' Public Relations Department. It is a new product that has just been made, so I brought it as a sample product.

"Huh. Are you making this stuff now?"

“It's part of our cooperation with food-based bands. The Knights often meet with other bands, so these kinds of things are in demand.”

"I see. - Kamil, put in a cup of coffee that looks good for this." Was Eye good with coffee? "

Ledge hands the buns he received to the maid girl and asks her to bring him a drink. Even from Eye's eyes, his relationship with the Maiden was different from that of the other players. There is something that connects without saying, like a mature couple.

Ai?

"Ahh!? I'm fine with coffee!" You can drink black too! "

"Oh, I see... well, sugar and milk are free, so you can put them yourself."

As Ledge leaned her neck and peered in, Eye straightened her collar. This time, I came as Deputy Commander of the Knights. I had to calm down my feelings and take the challenge.

She is led by Ledge to a living room full of life. Although it is a simple interior, there is a raised tatami mat in the corner of the room, a large bead cushion is rolled, and you can clearly see the faces of the [Shirataga].

"I'm sorry I didn't clean up."

No, it's okay. It's okay.

Sitting at the table, Kamil brings a small plate of buns and coffee.

"Guhhhh"

Looking at it, Eye unexpectedly shouted.

The knights' bun was stamped on the surface. The pattern was my brother's face.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, no, it's nothing..."

The Knights have a fine sigil, so you can use it. and Eye bite her lips. I didn't think so, but when I looked towards Ledge, my face was burned.

"That's Ai's face, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry I had to eat," Ledge laughs. Ai struck a hammer and decided to summon the Knights' Head of Bun Development.

Well, today we are scheduled to deliver the plant poison.

Anyway, we'll get to the point soon.

While checking the text of the message sent in advance by Ledge, Ai nodded, correcting his place of residence.

The [Shiraku-an] is a top band recognized by everyone except myself. While being a few elites, it exhibits a presence in all situations of strategy.

However, as far as Ledge was concerned, he did a good job not only as a combat professional but also as a production professional.

One of them is a plant that is being developed on a farm next to this villa.

"Can you give me three frames of the specially concentrated plant venom ampoule that you delivered before, at a pace of one per week?"

There's so many of them again.

As Eye conveys the Knights' desires, Ledge rolls her eyes. One frame is a customary counting method, which depends on the item, but basically refers to 1,000 stacks. Three frames is the same thing as asking for 3,000 ampules.

"I wanted to conduct ampoule research in the manufacturing department. Ledge-san's poison is a plant poison, a natural poison that hasn't been added by any means, so I was wondering if it could be made more powerful by her [dispensing] skill."

I see. Well, I don't have the [dispensing] skills, so I can't work on it, so I don't mind you messing around with me.

However, Ledge frowned at the three frames. As an eye, I think I know how much of it is. In particular, the specially concentrated plant venom ampoule that we are requesting this time is likely to take a long time to extract because the concentration is quite high.

"I wonder if it's still difficult..."

We have reduced the number considerably after consulting with the manufacturing department. Aside from mass production of items, research and development is a continuum of prototyping and research. As a manufacturing unit, it is not problematic to have 10 or 100 frames.

"If we can increase the number of bowls and deal with them, we will be able to do something about it." In other words, you can cede each bowl and have it made there. "

After a little thought, Ledge draws the conclusion. On top of that, he makes a rather bold proposal, but Eye politely declined.

"You gave me the bowl five generations ago before." That destroyed one of the Knights' test farms..... "

"Oh, by the way, that's the news."

You don't have to go out of your way to buy poison from Ledge, but you can buy plants and extract the poison yourself. That voice came from the Knights before.

However, when I received the poisonous plant, it was an incredibly laborious substitute. The nutrient amount should be fertilized every two hours to change the ingredients, and there should not be too much or too little water. Moreover, I had to keep listening to the dissonance that I was about to lose my sanity listening to.

When the members of the cultivation section of the production department of the frenzied knights put in large quantities of fertilizer, the rapid growth did not stop, and one facility was destroyed.

"That one shouldn't be a bit of a hassle." Well, if you lose your temper a little bit, it might explode. "

"... I'm sorry, but the cultivation department is in trauma."

Ledge's plants can only be taken care of by Ledge. That was the conclusion drawn by the Knights Production Division's Cultivation Division.

"Well, if it's just one frame a week, we'll manage." Regular income would be appreciated. "

It's helpful, because poison is becoming more important in our strategy.

The Knights are investing in poison development because they think it's important to put it in the offensive. All of the protozoa that appeared on the front lines were accelerating in intensity, and it was urgent to respond to them. We now need not only physical and mechanical means of attack, but also another source of damage. In this way, the poison has risen.

"That being said, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you for today..."

What?

Is there any more potent poison than the Dense Plant Venom Ampoule?

The stronger the poison, the better. It's simple.

Even the current ampules were pretty strong, but the Knights were looking further ahead.

"There's one for the test phase." Just give me a minute. "

That's what Ledge said and took a seat.

Normally, the test phase should avoid spillage to the outside, but he doesn't listen to the story that he cared about it. Whether it was good or bad, Ai felt complicated.

……

In any case, it is a shame.

Ledge went to the farm and was left alone in the living room.

I felt restless and looked around, and I could see a lot of things.

"Hey, just a minute..."

Ai stood up and sat down on another chair.

The FPO's physics engine is excellent and it's still a little warm. That's the chair that Ledge was sitting in earlier.

"Is it a little higher this way?" Oh, that was Mr. Lact's chair over there. "

Humanoid Ledge and Fairy Eye have different heights. Since there was also a fairy girl in [Shiraku-an], she probably gave me a chair that matched her physique.

"Mm-hmm."

Eye looks at the table with a smile on her face.

What's there is about half a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Ledge, you like coffee." I always drink it in black, and today I went out of my way to order a cup of coffee that matches my buns. "

Eye stares at the coffee as she leaks the thought out of her mouth. It's supposed to be the same thing that was given to me, but for some reason it attracts me.

……

Look around you and make sure there are no people in sight. With that, I slowly reached out my hand...

Huh, Ai-san?

"Ughhhhh!?"

Suddenly they call me by name and jump up.

When I hurried back to my chair and turned around, Letty just walked in the front door.

"Hello. You're here, aren't you?"

"Ah, hah, hahi. I'm sorry to bother you.

Eye nodded as she calmed her rough heartbeat. While entering the building, Letty saw a system message that there were visitors. I'm sure you're not aware of Eye's miraculous attempt.

“Did you find anything? Are you alone?"

Ah, well, Mr. Ledge is at the farm now.

"I see. Ah, a bun!" Can I eat Letty too? "

Letty nods cheerfully and finds the Knights' bun in the kitchen. As Ai nodded at the speed, she took two buns with her hands happily.

"This is everyone in the Silverwing Corps, right?" Your craft is very detailed. "

"Hahaha, the taste is nothing but a bun."

Eye strokes her chest as she sees Letty eating the bun deliciously. In a way, she helped me. If no one were there, I wouldn't know what I was doing.

"Please wait. Did Lettie come too?"

“Hi Ledge, I just came up with a combo that looks like it could be 100 meters from the launch of Verrittain and I thought I'd get it ready.”

"Oh, well, good luck with that."

After eating four buns in an instant, Letty disappeared into the warehouse.

Instead, Ledge brought a bowl full of mysterious plants that moved.

“This is the 76th generation. Now that I'm sedated, I can bring it to a normal pressure environment, but it's usually not normal unless it's under a stronger atmospheric pressure."

"W-why are you doing that..."

"I was able to improve the variety." If it becomes even more poisonous than the specially concentrated plant venom, we'll have to extract it from it, but the extraction method is still not stable. "

Ledge says that and puts a much smaller ampoule on the table than normal size.

"This is the limit in the usual way."

So few of them.

The venom of a sparrow's tears made my eyes puff up.

However, the potency of the poison is at the level where a few drops are dropped into a 50-metre pool and the creature dies.

"I'll give you a sedative in a set, so why don't you do a little research there?"

Huh?

“Don't worry, this time it'll be fine as long as you keep sedating or keep it above 56.”

Huh?

Please, Ledge begged me to accept Ai unintentionally.

The gnawing and moving plants had red stubble on them. Sending flowers from Ledge is also quite a good idea.

"If that flower opens a little, do your best to evacuate."

Ah, yes.

The floating feeling sank with one word.

For the time being, Ai has formed a Ledge Plant Countermeasure Task Force with members of the Planting Division and Combat Squad 1, and has decided to have them retrieve them.
