(Roland & Francette) 「「…………」」

I explained the details to everyone after driving away those two . When I told them 『Deceive them safely and everything will be solved!』, Roland and Francette looked at me with scornful eyes . Emile and Bell were only nodding to my explanation, though .

(Roland) 「……so that thing exists here, huh……」

Roland muttered in a small voice and Francette also nodded .

What’s wrong?

Ah .

 

(Kaoru) 「Francette, what’s 『Long-lived Red Soil』?」

Yes, the medicine that Oldham or something, healing sage gramps was talking about . It’s probably a valuable medicine, as he said that the one who could make it are someone like him in this town . And he also said that he is quite proficient with it, huh?

It may be like that, as this town is no more than just a provincial town and there’s probably only one or two healing sages that compete with each other . Even if he has that kind of attitude .

 

(Francette) 「Kaoru-chan, you don’t know about……ah well, it can’t be helped, huh… It’s unrelated to the goddess after all and you don’t even need it if you can create 『Goddess’ tears』 too . In the first place, Kaoru-chan is not a goddess from this world, right……」

Yup, it can’t be helped .

Then, Francette stretched her spine and explained with a serious face . Apparently, her previous talk is in her 『Normal mode』 and seems like the explanation will be in her 『Work mode』 .

 

(Francette) 「『Long-lived Red Soil』 is literally a drug that is said could extend one’s own lifespan . Its recipe is passed on via oral instruction among the healing sages from the master to his/her apprentice . It also came out frequently in old stories .

The medicine uses various rare materials, hence it’s effective for all diseases and the patient’s lifespan will also be extended……」

(Roland) 「Simply put, it’s just an ordinary medicine . 」





Roland put it bluntly after Francette said so .

(Kaoru & Francette) 「「Eh……?」」

Francette, why are you surprised too!?

 

(Roland) 「Certainly, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work . It’s quite effective for some illnesses and when given to those who are in the border of life and death, the chance to save them is also slightly increased . Hence, it’s not a lie for some people to say that his/her lifespan was extended thanks to 『Long-lived Red Soil』, therefore it won’t be a foolish act if they ask for even a large sum of money .

However, it does not mean that it’s a 『magic drug that can work against all diseases』 or to put it differently, 『God medicine』 . It’s just an expensive, powerful medicine . The story is different if it’s Kaoru’s Potion, though .

In this area, the story about Potion is probably transmitted only to those in the upper class . Thus, even for now, the 『best medicine』 would probably be the Long-lived Red Soil . 」

 

I see, Is it similar to 『Panax ginseng』 in the Edo period? At first, it was available only to the emperors, nobles, royals, and such in China and South Korea, and shoguns, daimyos, and powerful clans in Japan, but later it became available to wealthy commoners too . In that case, it’s not strange that the price is equivalent to several million yen .

However, it is by no means certain that it’ll work the moment you drink it just like a wonder drug . It will gradually improve your health and cure your condition by taking it for a long time……

Yes, it’s not 『the patient’s condition gets better, thus he become healthy』, but it’s 『the patient become healthy, thus his condition gets better』 . It’s like a strong nourishment .

 

(Roland) 「And, because the essential ingredients are hard to get, it became the main reason for those three ingredients’ price to rise sharply . As it can rarely be found in distant kingdoms and cannot be cultivated, therefore we can only rely on collecting it . In addition, apart from hemalt seeds, maltger fruits and kurkol leaves are available in limited seasons and those which are dried are significantly less effective .

……and they found out that Kaoru had sold those three of the freshly picked items with just six small silver coins .

By the way, it’s currently not the season where you could get maltger fruits . There’s a possibility that they don’t have enough hemalt seeds so they search around the town and thought that they couldn’t find them in this kind of shop at first . However, the shop seems to be selling plant materials in a glance, so there’s nothing wrong to try asking for it and surprisingly it’s 『there』 . She probably wondered and half-jokingly asked if there are also maltger fruits and kurkol leaves too . She perhaps thought that the ones we have are of poor quality .

And then, you of all people……」

 

Guhaa!!

That’s not good indeed . I cannot get angry with Taona who misjudged 『6 small silver coins』 as 『6 sacred silver coins』, which she thought that I 『forced an unreasonably high price』 from the beginning . I also have similar experiences like that .

In addition, there was no situation where that healing sage, Oldham or something yelled at his disciple, Taona . If Taona didn’t make a mistake and they just paid with six small silver coins, they will done it without any problem . Perhaps he thought that Taona could not make a mistake about it .





Well, even though I did it this time, I will check the market price next time so that I could know the real price .

Therefore, it’s possible to buy those goods just this once . Next time, I will reflect on having sold something ridiculous rather than getting angry at someone who said nothing while knowing my mistake . There’s no doubt that those kind of things will be removed from the product list and the result will be the same in the end .

……However .

 

(Kaoru)「Why is Roland so familiar with this Long-lived Red Soil? Even to the material itself…… Didn’t you said that the ones who know it are only the healing sages?」

Yup, how could you know that much? Then, Roland, you could compound the Long-lived Red Soil by yourself, right?

 

(Roland) 「Because I have drank it for quite a while when my arm stopped working because of an injury, that is .

Because I am neither ill nor physically weak, I said that it was useless, but my parents and retainers won’t listen to me . How much of the kingdom’s budget was wasted on me……


Thus, I asked a healing sage thoroughly and researched it to convince everyone that it was no use for me to drink Long-lived Red Soil . 」

Yikes . I just heard something bad…

Perhaps he could not afford to waste the kingdom’s budget for the people . It reminded me of something that I didn’t like .

(Kaoru) 「……sorry」

I apologized to Roland and he just waved lightly while saying 「don’t think about it」 .

 

But with this, I was able to solve the question, and also found out that it was not that great deal of a drug .

Well then, case closed!!

I got very bored with the explanation, but it’s much better than throwing all of it and running away from it .

Going for modest customers and earning modestly . And, if I find someone for me, I will find him!!





Well, it’s not too much of a trouble . As my body does not age, it got nothing to do with marriageable age . Francette and the others think that I am tens of thousands years old, so there’s nothing wrong with staying here for who knows how many years will it be . I might be 50,019 years old or 50,024 years old, but it would make no big difference .

 

After traveling to a certain extent, I might as well return to Balmore kingdom, get Francette to marry Roland, then get Emile to marry Bell as well, and send off Riette-chan to be someone’s bride, and then go on a trip alone again……

No no, it would probably be better for Riette-chan to go on a trip with me . Then we could leave immediately without waiting too much . Besides, being alone is a little lonely .

When I return to Balmore Kingdom, I will take advantage of an Arigo Empire’s ship in some port town……

There was a time when I thought so .

 

***************

 

(???) 「Is this the place which sells Long-lived Red Soil materials?」

It caaaaaaammeeee!!

Why have you come!? I have clearly told that healing sage that I would no longer receive those goods . In addition, there’s no benefit to tell others about it again . Eeeeeii! Such an unnecessary trouble……

(Kaoru) 「No, you’re wrong . Please find another store . 」

(???) 「But this place is 『Convenience Store Bell』, right!?」

Hmm, when I saw the middle-aged man, he looks like a nobleman’s retainer or a rich merchant’s son, but from where did he hear this kind of story……?

If I don’t confirm it, the explanation objective cannot be achieved . I could make a grave mistake by giving extra information if I don’t know how much does he know and what he doesn’t know . And before that,

 

*Kuii kuii*

 

I lightly pull the string under the counter several times in a certain pattern .

Yes, it’s a calling string for Francette who is currently chilling on the second floor .

When the string is pulled, the bell in everyone’s room rings and the light comes on . Some information can be transmitted by the light frequency and intervals .

And the present signal is 『Urgency 4, Threat 4, People 1』 . With this, she won’t go so far to skip 3 steps on the stairs, and go down normally, rig-……,

 

*ZUDODODODODODO!*

 

No, it’s nothing…

 

Right now, Emile and Bell are absent as they have gone to hunter training and earning some money . They’re trying to give all of the money they’re making to me, but I only took half of the money from them and put it in the item box to save it for the time when those two got married .

And Roland is also went out for some reason . I mean, it’s not like he’s staying in his room all day every day . When Emile and Bell are present, he sometimes go out with Francette .

In conclusion, the one who’s here now is……

 

(Francette) 「You bastard! Prepare yourself!」

Yup, it’s only Francette .

(Kaoru) 「Francette, the signal was Threat 4, it’s only Threat 4, okay……」

Well, for Francette, that doesn’t matter .

Even if it’s harmless to me or there’s a little danger .

She will oppose every one of them with her own judgment . There is no such thing as 『going easy on someone』 or 『peacefully』 .

……Yup, I knew that .
