"So the problem about sea crystals was solved. That's what I said."

I said that Olivia's case, which was supposed to have been a problem again, was solved.

"Excuse me, Princess. If it was so easy to solve... you didn't even have to marry Heim."

Warren speaks so doubtfully.

That should have been enough to make a princess of a country daughter-in-law.

Word was that what Olivia said was resolved, even though it should have been.

"That was a painful choice for us too. We cannot act of aggression, as the First King of Unity put it. That's why it was a bitter choice. And I asked the princess to marry me to Heim..."

Ishtarika does not tolerate acts of aggression against other continents.

For that was the decision of the united king, who united the many peoples of Ishtal on this continent and became the first king.

Such combat action is not tolerated as one, except when the crisis is imminent and so on.

Deal suspension and so on can be considered retaliation, but I haven't basically done so because dealing with Heim would be in deficit in the first place.

For this reason, there were probably parts of the severance of national traffic that seemed to be the limit of what could be done as retaliation for this.

This is why Ishtarika was an authentic deal that didn't forcefully take resources, nor was it blackmailing.

"To be honest, I'm a research group looking for sea crystals... and I resent your father a little for ordering it"

"I guess so, I know the rest of you did something resentful"

"Oh, what do you know?

"... that I gave Olivia to my wife. It's not the Lord's will."

Olivia makes a grudge, but it didn't seem like the same reason Silvard had in mind.

"Then why don't you tell me what it is, and I can't apologize as king. But as a father, I can apologize."

"Yes. Then I'll tell you...... that's what I thought my country, Ishtarika, had developed technology. I thought it would be amazing to discover a huge amount of sea crystals when the team returned home."

"Surely that job was a great one"

"Yeah, well, I hope you're not satisfied with your work there."

"Princess, what the hell does that mean?"

Chris inquired about what Olivia had said.

Something has changed the course of the conversation.

"Roundheart was giving me more freedom than that. That's why I was also somewhat free to use my tax revenues as a Count family. That's why I've been able to do it."

"That leads to the problem of sea crystals, right?

"We should have doubted what was found only in the nearest heim. The Principality of Euro, northwest of Heim… could also be discovered in Euro"

"Princess is that sincere!?

I can't help but be surprised at Lloyd.

Because we found another place filled with sea crystals that were supposed to be valuable.

"(Mother, how long have you been investigating?)"

"But Princess, I wonder how you did your investigation. If you'll excuse me, we need to dive into the bottom of the ocean pretty deep for that investigation. I didn't hear you sent an investigation team to Ishtarika."

"Yeah, because I didn't use the investigation team. I used... the guilds, the adventurers, from that continent."

"You say you're asking an adventurer? It's Olivia. No way."

"I took years to do it. Because I had to make a request to an adventurer who was okay to dive into the deep ocean. In terms of cost, it was beyond what I was free to do."

Olivia had been dowry with the Roundheart family, one by one, but had been investigating sea crystals.

Even she thought it would be even better for Ishtarika if new sea crystals were ever found. Even a commotion like this one would help, but I didn't mean to do that at the time.

"I've been talking for a long time and I'm getting tired, you've already put it together briefly. Ishtarika's investigation team just surveyed the offshore. We heard the voices of people living locally, and we didn't investigate hiding inlets or anything."

"Yes, it's a cove...?! But in the cove, demon bones and so on accumulate..."

"Do you mean if you dug the sand in the cove, you found it, Mother?"

"Hehe... yes Ain't it. That's smart of you."

"The Principality of Euro is an area with many wind disasters. So the power of the waves became stronger and I thought..."

The coves are usually calm, but the coves that were in the Principality of Euro were different.

Cliff rocks are very sturdy and it's not easy to sharpen them.

Still, a strong wave pushes against a cove that could be shredded.

As a result, seabed accumulation gradually moved as it flowed into the current and was pushed by the waves, and sea crystals accumulated in the coves of Euro.

"As Ain explained. Sea crystals were carried into the cove by waves generated in the climate of Euro."

"... so now you want to make a deal with Euro, do you have any more to say, Olivia"

"What are you talking about playing with, Father? I will no longer be someone's wife. The deal with Euro has already progressed to some stage."

"... what do you mean, princess"

As everyone fell in love with Olivia's words, only Warren proceeded to ask about it.

"Yes, this way. This is why the phrase," The problem with sea crystals is solved. "

That's how Olivia gives two message birds.

A disposable communication device that Olivia also used on her return home, but which is not a bird but can be used by the recipient and the sender by having a set.

Divide one demonic stone into two pieces with special machining to activate it while maintaining the connection.

To serve as one-way communication, two message birds were prepared for one round trip.

Even as Olivia, I really wanted to make it at least two round-trips, but the distance between Ishtarika and Euro makes the messagebird expensive as well.

These two messagebirds were what Olivia was able to freely use round heart territory tax revenues and finally prepare in them.

"The rest looks like a messagebird, Warren. Hey, so does the Lord."

"Yes, I'm sure, Princess... if this is the reason it's solved"

"Oh...... I've always been smart and when it comes to negotiation, I'm a princess who even His Majesty has had things to say down...... no way"

Martha looks at Olivia's messagebird and speaks a surprising word.

Warren seemed to have predicted it, but Martha also seemed to understand it.

"We have a number of commercial and adventurer guild personnel through. So I guess you can't be sure with me who was the First Lady of Roundheart. I will also give you this document in conjunction with this messagebird. It's about the labor costs of mining sea crystals and the cost of buying sea crystals."

That's how Olivia takes out a piece of paper and hands that paper and two message birds to the Chancellor, Warren.

"Kuha...... the princess has long been a princess looking forward to the future. I didn't expect to be able to make deals between nations so far alone."

"As for Euro, it was a material that was not worth using, so we bought and beat it to some extent during the negotiations. Well, it's over the intermediary."

Silvard, Warren, and Lloyd can't hide their surprises in Olivia's words, which pop up one after the other.

"Princess. As for the other person, what do you know about the princess?"

"We proceeded as a new chamber of commerce. As for the use of ore, I wanted to use it to develop new products."

"… we have kept it to a bad amount, even as a unit price for sea crystals. Adding labor costs, etc. is too much of an achievement. The amount of mining that can be assumed is also the amount that can be covered for some time."

After reading the paperwork, Warren shared her thoughts on Silvard, something that seemed likely to go along fine as Ishtarika as well.

"That's how you reveal this trait, though. The deal seems to be going ahead with this. Apparently, there's nothing particularly wrong with calling it Ishtarika."

"I'm sorry... I don't know what's left"

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon. Me too."

Martha tunes in to Silvado, who has a tired look on his face.

"I'm tired of talking about this anymore. Father, can I take care of the deal and everything?"

"It's that simple, but this didn't seem to make sense to me that I bothered to put Olivia out on my wife"

"I've got a pretty girl named Ain, and I'm going to write her off."

"... right"

For Olivia, having a child named Ain had already made things hard in other countries blow up, etc. Everyone was surprised that Olivia had served, but something reassured me that the story seemed to work.

Looks like the cheapest one was your mother.

"Ain't I sorry we talked about this for so long, didn't we get stuck?

"No, that's not true. 'Cause it feels like everything I've been wondering has been resolved all at once."

"Good for you."

About an hour in time, finally solved what everyone was wondering? I did.

At the end of the day, your mother showed off a little cheesy though.

Martha, can you get me some tea?

"Yes, sir."

"I'll help too. Your Majesty, Princess, I beg your pardon once."

Mr. Martha asked His Majesty to go prepare tea, although Chris followed it with help.

You're actually getting a little dry throat, aren't you?

"Totally the rest of the kids seem to love the subject and the commotion."

"You must, Your Majesty."

"Certainly so.... Your Majesty, may I ask you one thing?

"What?"

Mr. Warren seemed to wonder one thing and began questioning His Majesty.

"Excuse me, but I'm not surprised, why did Roundheart abolish Ein?"

"... my skills are responsible, Mr. Warren"

"Hmm? Is your skill......?

Mr. Lloyd sees me with a strange face.

"I'm afraid, Dear Ein, is it just skills?

"Yes, as Father, the Grand General, and as Isis, your wife...... Roundheart, who was a famous Takemen family, my skills were not recognized. My brother Grint was born a holy knight. I brought him."

"Hmm... that's a little strange, Lord Lloyd."

Now Mr. Lloyd turns to speak with Mr. Warren looking strange again.

"Um still Heim...... I was convinced that that continent was a lot behind"

"Uh, what do you mean, Mr. Lloyd?"

"Dear Ein. I am here as Marshal to unite the Knights of Istarica. So what do you think of my birth skills?"

Why are you asking me that, like the Holy Knight or something?

Are you proud of me? I won't allow it.

"... is it the Holy Knight or something"

"Pfft... Kuku, Lord Lloyd was born with the Holy Knight... Ha ha!

"You don't have to laugh like that, Lord Warren... there's not much to talk about even in the table, but my birth skills were" sewing "..."

You think it's sewing? Sewing is that sewing that sews clothes and stuff?

A man of such resilience was born with a sew? A joke?

"I'm confused. Would it be better to make clothes?"

"With all this happening. What, but you're right. I don't like to brag about my efforts… I have continued my bloody training for myself and after all my training I have become the strongest corner of the Knights of Ishtarika."

Mr. Lloyd said he had become the strongest corner.

The look on my face at that time was as cool as I was proud of it, and I envied it.

"I'm not saying it's easy. But you've made it to the top of the Knights."

"Ein, I still acknowledge the strength of Lloyd and his efforts"

So much for His Majesty?

"Next time you can show me Lord Lloyd's sewing skills."

"Nooo!

"... and let me give you one example. Let me be clear. Whether we are the Knights of Ishtarika, there are people who have reached the Marshal with their own efforts. I don't think you can do that with the Knights of Heim. If you dig deeper, there's no way you can't do that with Heim."

Mr. Warren, you say a lot.

I haven't seen the strength of the Ishtarikas.

But to see the technical skills, they must be pretty good.

"Mm-hmm. Dear Ein, this is what we wondered."

"I didn't think it was that bad until I went, either, but Heim is greatly distinguished by birth. Something that wasn't really taken into account when it comes to subsequent growth."

"Oh, my God, that's a waste... Lord Lloyd, what can you think"

"I guess I don't have purely training or educational skills, so I have to rely on my luck of being born"

I thought the skills I was born with were important even in Ishtalika, but I was a little relieved to see someone who reached the Marshal with effort.

Because I felt like I had a place.

And let me show you Mr. Lloyd's sewing skills later.

"Thank you all for waiting. We brought you warm tea."

Or so I thought, Mr. Martha and Mr. Chris were back.

"Shall we go to the back room? Ain't got a room to rest in the back between these sights. Let me talk to you there."

"Yes, Your Grace."

"Your Majesty... Hmm, well, can I call you later"

Led by His Majesty and behind the throne...... a large cloth hung on the back, even though it was a luxurious object with gold thread embroidery.

Next to that cloth was a door to be hidden, and from there, when I entered the room, there was another large room and several large sofas were arranged.

"Please take a seat. Tea will be served."

"Come this way, Princess, Dear Ein."

As Martha handed out the tea, me and your mother were led by Chris to sit on the sofa by her side.

I couldn't get a long break after the meal, so I'm grateful to be able to sit down.

I calmed my mind with a mouthful of handed out tea.

"Phew. Nice tea, Lord Martha. Now, Ain't it possible to show us your status card if you don't mind?

Mr. Warren says to show it to me, but, um, I don't know if it's something I can show you easily.

Let's just send your mother a gaze.

"Ain't no problem showing it to me. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Okay. So, uh..."

That's how I take the status card out of my chest.

I don't think I've seen it in a long time... it's not supposed to grow.

Ain

[Job] Homeless Child

[Level] 9

[Health] 235 = > 180 UP

[Magic] 341 = > 300UP

[Attack] 74 = > 52UP

[DEF] 40 = > 19 UP

[Agility] 95 = > 70 UP

[Skills] Toxin Decomposition EX, Absorption, HP Auto Recovery, Training Gift

There was only a scratch.

I don't know when I got to the level, and I feel strange about the growth in my status.

When did you learn how to absorb it?

I don't know what it is, but I snap into my paper endurance.

"Mother..."

"It's okay, Ain't nothing to worry about"

"No, I'm worried about something else. Would you look at it first?"

That's how I handed my status card to your mother.

"Huh!? Oh...? I wonder what happened to this..."

That's right, the mystery phenomenon seems too mysterious for your mother to say anything.

"What is it, Princess?"

Well, that's enough. No, it's a pain in the ass, Mr. Chris cares, but I'll publish it already.

"I don't know what happened, but my status was growing rapidly. But I'm going to publish it now, even if I don't know why."

That's what I already put my status card in the middle of the table.

"Is it growing rapidly...... ho"

"I mean with five years old, but this is quite... is Battlemage good at avant-garde as a direction"

"Show me the rest!

The three uncles are coming to see my status card.

Looks like the former two are already thinking about my education policy because they look surprised.

What kind of job is Battlemage and Yakuza?

"Hmm. Isn't that a good status? I don't know how to get rid of it... but this is..."

Your Majesty is surprised. Have you seen it?

You're my toxin breakdown EX, right? Don't be too surprised because I know you're crazy.

"Warren, Lloyd! Look at this."

"What is this a skill, Your Majesty... What is this? Well, this is more like it."

"... I must thank the Roundheart family, Your Majesty. If you do it badly, it can be quite a big" thing. "

Following Mr. Warren, Mr. Lloyd sees my status.

Hey, come on, maybe it's a garbage skill, but that's good enough for a roundheart fight, right?

"Olivia. No way."

"There's not even one person in Ishtarika who can be replaced, because my Ain't such a great kid."

I don't know what it is, Mother. Thank you.

"... were you still capable of these"

Chris was convinced when he saw the status card.

You're trying to tell me if I was capable of this. You, you're hurting me, so stop it.

"It's Warren. I have some paperwork to prepare before anything else, you understand?

"Of course it is. We'll get back to you as soon as this story is over."

"Lloyd, check the level of security at the castle. Raise it until you feel the Lord needs it."

Of course, Your Majesty.

Why are you being a little important?

I'm getting scared......

Is there any more paperwork to prepare?

"Chris to Martha. I'm sure you do, but we treat this as confidential."

"Yes, sir."

"Ha."

"Mother, why are you being classified?"

I'll just get a little scared and ask your mother, I want a little help.

'Cause Ain't such a great kid,' cause he's gonna be fine.

"Nothing is amazing...... ok"

"... excuse me. Does Ein know much about your skills?

"Which is it about? Toxin decomposition is... I know."

"No, they don't understand!

Wow, don't be so loud all of a sudden because I'm surprised, Mr. Warren.

You don't have to come to such a delicious taste.

"We honestly appreciate the Round Heart. It's not like this... because depending on how you use it, you have abandoned your son who has the ability to be too horrible."

"Dear Ein. Your abilities are not very great, but they are not as cheap as you think. Don't talk about this for a while."

Following Mr. Warren, Mr. Lloyd complimented me on something.

What the hell does it mean?

"... it was a skill that made it better to not care about the numbers in the status. Olivia... the Round Heart is its... what can I say, why didn't you see this advantage? Don't you have enough ideas?"

"You just have to be honest, Father. The people in that house couldn't understand its awesomeness. I was quite surprised, to be honest with you."

"I would say so. Though the round-heart of the Wu lineage, you're not that ignorant?

Although the current situation, with tremendous momentum, has disparaged the Round Heart. I couldn't say anything because it looks natural.

"... Isis, who was my mother-in-law, said in a small voice, 'It's a hassle' when I found out Ain's skills. So I have not explained or advised you one thing. I felt like I was gonna tell you afterwards."

Hearing what your mother said, His Majesty and Mr. Warren... even held their heads to Mr. Chris.

"Princess. Then, when Ein was born, I found out that I would treat Ein badly............ thinking about returning to Ishtarika from then on? It's called sea crystals, isn't it too well prepared?"

"Because Ein wouldn't have been happy to be in that house. I think we could have made Ein a" yes "situation in a different way. It's just that I wanted Ain to be happy. Sea crystals were just doing their research in free time, purely for Ishtarika, only at first. But I'm glad it turns out to be useful when it's like this one."

Mother replied with a smile as if the prank had succeeded.

"The princess really..."

"Lord Martha. You have a sigh you don't know how many times."

Martha and Chris are sighing a little again.

"... Yeah, I don't know if you want me to tell you how awesome..."

"... Gohon. I'll explain, Dear Ein."

Looks like Mr. Warren, who coughed up, will explain, please.

"" Poison "does not work for Master Ain. Is this good?

"Yes, that's proven. But I just didn't die..."

Oh, I made a star crystal.

It seems to be valuable and certainly useful.

"Yeah, right. That's just great... what I think is that Ein's toxin breakdown EX will probably destroy even the disease"

"Are you ill?

"We still don't know if it's just if it's classified as poison to the body or what Ein recognized as poison. But it seems that the approximate diseases and poisons can be broken down. That means you can save a lot of people."

"Damn...... indeed"

"There are many poisons that cannot be detoxified. If you can detoxify it, there may be demand."

I never thought about it, it really is.

So much so that it's on EX, I don't think there's a poison that can't be detoxified, and the disease would be similar.

"The rest is a place you can't go through without purifying it...... it can be a dangerous place, but it's a place that is difficult to get into despite having valuable resources. There are also many places like that here in Ishtarika. As Olivia's son, we cannot tolerate such dangers, but we can think of many things… such as securing mining routes for such places."

"Ha ha! Looks like Roundheart was stupid and helpful, Lord Warren!

"Yeah," Big Fool, "and honestly, it helped, because it could have affected the balance of the state."

It was hard to think of it as a garbage skill, so admirable and a little confusing.

Even then... I didn't realize its usefulness to call myself an idiot as well...

Something complicated.

"Speaking of which, Mother... I'm adding some skills like absorption, but what is this?"

I'm getting a little embarrassed, so I'm starting to want to change the subject a little bit.

"Oh, you know, you've grown up, so you've expressed Ein's skills as a race. It's okay. Because there's no problem. When it comes to its absorption, it just looks like a status card, something I should have used before."

"Species, races?

What do you mean by race skills?

Are people in this world capable of using skills like absorption?

I'm also not too sure I should have been able to use it before it was listed on my status card.

"Dear Ein, I also have a few things to do with its absorption. May I speak to you from me?

"Oh, yeah, that's right, Mr. Chris."

I asked my mother about the absorption.

Chris then talks to me like he wanted to tell me something too.

"I'm afraid you can take this one and imagine drinking a drink."

That's how Chris got it in his hands is a little demon stone... about the same size he saw at the dewstore in the Harbor Town Roundheart before.

Imagine grabbing a demon stone and drinking a drink, and Mr. Chris is having a terrible sexual habit, too.

It was the same demonic stone I had seen before and had a sweet smell.

Weren't demon stone magic poisonous? I don't think it's harmful because Chris gave it to me.

"I don't mind. But you'd rather lick it normally than imagine it, wouldn't you?

"Hey, do you lick it? The demon stone...? As long as it's in my hand, I don't have a problem with it, but it's in my mouth..."

"Yeah, 'cause it's sweet and tasty like caramel, isn't it, Demon Stone?"

... When I told him it looked like caramel, the air in the room quieted down properly.

"Princess, could you explain?"

"Hey Ain? When did you do something dangerous to lick the Demon Stone... and tell your mother, right?

I'll be honest with you about your mother's momentum.

"... you went to a port town dewstore with your mother before, and that's when you told me about the Demon Stone. It is reflective that it was mean. But the sweet smell came from the demon stone, so I licked it."

"Yes... okay, I'm not mad, Ain't I? So don't worry, I just wanted to know."

"Excuse me, Princess. Any information on the demonic stones sold in Port Town?"

"That demon stone was 500G cheap, so it probably belonged to Big Bee"

The Big Bee is definitely a big bee about 80 cm long.

It's not very frenetic and not strong, but it breeds strongly and builds large nests.

They should have been crusaded a lot because of that, so they would have sold the demonic stones they got after the crusade in an outdoor store.

It is sold for a discarded value of 500G because it is a demonic stone with a large number and not very strong power.

"I see. Actually, this will also be Big Bee's Demon Stone...... and how does this smell, Dear Ein"

That's how I took out another demon stone.

Bring the demon stone by my side.

"Oh, this one smells like a ripple. It smells like riple honey and sweet and sour fruit pulp!

I smelled the same as riple juice and accidentally swallowed gokuli and spit.

"... This is Riplemodoki. It's a weak demon about the same as Big Bee, but I see it smells..."

While I was excited about the smell of demon stone, Chris noticed something.

... Is it going to continue to be a hassle yet?

"Dear Ein, maybe we can also explain the rapid growth in status"

Is that true?
