Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
12-9: Plate Mithril 2
"Then, you won't hand it over no matter what…?"
"Sorry…"
"I won't fulfill your request even if you're a high-class Noble or King himself…"
"It's impossible even if you want to exchange it for [Lost Gjallarhorn], or a branch of world tree or Orichalcum armor…"
Geryl, crimson noble told me while apologizing…
He may mention things that are completely impossible to prepare, but I will give them except Gjallarhorn…
Even Gjallarhorn, right now I might be able to make an exact copy…
"Give up, this is an absolute custom that has been established by Ancient King Yamato…"
Maybe I'll change this story a little differently than my author wrote or maybe not…
The Guild Master who was silent during my conversation with handsome man shi, broke through with a look of knowing everything…
He's out again, yes, ancient King…
"I think it was about 600 years ago…"
"As long as the same Yamato was still alive, there was a considerable uproar among the vassals of the kingdom, it could divide the kingdom due to the legendary artifact that had been dropped by the Floor Master…"
I see, defeating the Floor Master might happen very rarely…
"The same Yamato who can't stand it anymore makes one rule…"
Summarizing what the Guild Master had said, first the people who defeated the Floor Master had to present all the items they obtained to the King…
And then, except for one item chosen by their representative, all items were exhibited in an auction sponsored by the King to be the same bid…
Any royal citizen can participate in this auction as long as they pay the registration fee…
However, since the registration fee was one gold coin per person, most people other than the rich and Nobles did not participate…
90% of the money collected in the auction would be given as a reward to the explorers along with the items they had chosen at the beginning…
The remaining 10% is collected as taxes, but most seem to be used as guard fees for the auction…
"Initially, I had to turn you down before we talked about this and that was the end of the story, but you were a promising explorer…"
"I especially asked Geryl's boy to talk to you…"
"Guild Master, please stop calling me boy Geryl…"
The Guild Master said to the abused handsome man that his diaper had fallen even now, but I did not notice it…
Fumu, financial strength means everything...
Oops, I have to confirm something before that…
It would be troublesome if he chose the Gift Orb as his reward…
"And Geryl, what do you want as a gift…?"
"Gift Orb of course…"
Geh…!
Please take the other two…?
"O, which orbs…"
"The poison resistance orb…"
Be safe…
That's right, yeah…
People don't usually want a Chant Orb, huh…
"I understand, so you're after the light magic orb, right…"
"Competition for light magic orb is expensive…"
"It came out 200 years ago and seems to be bid at an incredible price of up to 3000 gold coins…"
"That's amazing…"
While amazed, I checked the number of Shiga Kingdom storaged gold coins, but other items made from gold were abundant there and boundless, but they could not be used as currency…
I can buy 1 or 2 with just the shiga gold coins I have now…
I might be able to get it with just an honest offer, but it was meaningless if any of the participants were using backhand tricks…
I'm going to go visit some authorized and influential people to check if there's a trick to it or not…
I thank the handsome man for agreeing to meet me and serve the liquor called [Wicked Firewater] to the Guild Master who has arranged this meeting…
This is the liquor I obtained from Ga Hou the orc, it is strong enough to make ordinary people who drink it collapse with foam in their mouths…
Can't even get me drunk…
No one had seen the figure of a Guild Master for three days after that…
Then, I looked with regretful eyes, but she did not complain because it tasted so good…
Next I headed to the Viceroy mansion…
"Your mother, unfortunately, even as nobles, no, it is precisely because we are Nobles that you cannot break that unwritten rule…"
"If a noble were to violate it, his political opponent would definitely use it against him to make him lose his position…"
Marquis Ashinen whom I consulted, warned me seriously…
His tone was serious, but his expression was loose…
His perverted lust was not shown to me, but the statue of the handsome young man I was carrying…
This was something I bought in the capital Duchy when I was looking for wheat flour during our stay in the elf's hometown…
I couldn't judge these kinds of things other than for their market price, so I bought them after consulting the giant mama san from the okama bar I visited together with Toruma back then…
His opinion was reliable because the Marquis looked pleased…
I ignored the figure of the Marquis creeping his fingers on the statue of the young man from my mind…
When I bought the statue with Mama san, I saw the children and Sera who looked happy…
I can't call him because I'm undercover, but he's probably training hard because his level has increased by one…
Sera is a good writer, she often sends letters…
He had already sent three letters even though it had only been less than a month since we arrived at the labyrinth city…
She was very different from poor correspondent Miss Karina who still had not replied to her even until now…
According to the letter from Muno Baronetdom, it seems Miss Karina wants to train in the labyrinth city as well…
Consul Nina seemed to scold him sometimes, but it seemed that he was ignored…
There are many monsters that can penetrate Raka's defenses in the labyrinth city, so please don't come here if possible…
Even though she sucks, I don't really want to see her beauty get hurt…
Please be satisfied with wiping out the thieves in your territory…
Alright, my mind has completely slipped because I really do not want to see Marquis Ashinen and his young statue…
Since I've heard the things I want to hear from the Marquis, I'll go consult others…
"It's quite rare for you to visit my house…"
Baronet Dyukeli who had his hard face become more severe forced me to sit on the sofa…
I only came here once after the trouble of saving his daughter from the Lost Thieves…
At that moment, I was invited to a banquet of thanks and drinks along with the owner of the magic tool shop and the drug store in the labyrinth city that was under his control…
I came to consult him because he probably knew some unclean ways…
"Something like you…"
"It would be difficult even if you have a relationship with the King…"
"I've been made aware that it's impossible to use that method, but since I'm desperate to find out if there's a good way to get my goals, I'll borrow everyone's wisdom…"
I might be able to directly negotiate with the King as Shiro, but that's not good either, huh…
Fumu, maybe I don't need to worry about cheating tricks because they don't seem to exist…
"There's no way…"
"What method is it…?"
"Of course, this is not the direct one…"
I waited for Baronet Dyukeli who placed excessive emphasis on continuing his words…
"It's the same as war…"
"Ask the well-connected Viscount Shimen for anyone who wants the item you want…"
"And then through negotiation, you turn those people into a state where they can't bargain…"
I get it, information war, yeah…
I'm glad that it's “there's actually a trick.”…
Turn it into a state where they cannot bargain like a crime, but even without kidnapping it, maybe I can turn it into a state where they are not financially strong enough to make an offer…
Since the Marchioness had invited me to a tea party in the afternoon, I had to ask her to gather information with Baronet Dyukeli's idea in mind…
After enjoying tea and cake and some long gossip, the talk became about the spoils of the Floor Master…
"Well, so even Secilia dono has something she wants…"
"Yes, it's a Gift Orb…"
"Is Retel the same as having something you want…?"
By the way, Retel is the name of Marchioness…
After coming here often, I got permission to call the Marchioness by name…
"Yes, did you see that beautiful tiara…?"
"If I wear it in the salon during the Kingdom conference, wouldn't I be the center of attention…?"
"Yes, it really fits the Marchioness…"
"How about using an emerald like an egg in a necklace…?"
The fussy wives around flattered after the Marchioness' comments…
Baronet wife Dyukeli stated “Panacea” in a low voice with a fleeting presence, but it does not seem to reach anyone's ears…
I probably wouldn't have heard it if I didn't have the Straining Ear skill…
"Is the medical diet not going well…?"
Due to the fact that his son was sick was a secret, I obscured the subject…
"Yes, he doesn't like vegetables, so he doesn't eat much…"
"Is the recipe I gave you earlier not tasty…?"
"He ate a dish made by the same Chevalier chef while saying that it was delicious, but he didn't eat the one made by our chef and said that it was bitter or smelled of soil…"
Fumu, the difference in cooking skills, huh…?
However, among the recipes I gave there were many dishes that only required finely chopped, filtered or brewed vegetables, so there was no need for good skills...
Maybe I should make and sell vitamin supplements and vegetable juices, because there are a lot of vitamin-deficient nobles in the labyrinth city…
Let's present a trial product to Baronet Dyukeli as a thank you for the talk some time ago…
The tea party became lively when the talk of the Floor Master's loot and the Marchioness would gather information about which person wanted which item in the auction before I even asked for it…
Although it seems like I have to bid for a tiara as well right now, it doesn't matter if I consider it an information fee…
At worst, if it becomes too expensive, I can only make a pretty imitation and he will have to agree with that…
Tiane and the others besides me were mastering their new equipment at the top and middle layer hunting grounds…
I have annihilated enemies with instant death attacks and penetrating shields, so they shouldn't be in danger so often…
Their new equipment had an automatic deployment system for defense magic, so they could definitely run with teleport magic if they encountered an unexpected situation…
It's late and I've told Ms. Miteruna that I don't need dinner, so maybe I should go to the labyrinth and have dinner with the girls…
Everyone seems to be fighting the scorpion and spider chimera…
"Ciel, stop the leg…!"
"Yes…!"
"Share the body attack…!"
Ciel made full use of the Flickering Movement to attack, and smashed four legs on one side of the eight-legged chimera…
As Ciel had said, his shadow looked like a detached body…
Tiane who had climbed up the back of the stopped chimera, crushed his compound eyes with his sword…
Chimera wagged her head to throw Tiane, but she turned the other sword into a whip sword and resisted the vibration by winding the sword at the chimera listener…
It seemed like Tiane was able to use the whip sword shaped magic blade appropriately and the drill magic blade of his short sword…
Totona fires her new smooth bore bullet gun into the mouth of the chimera that Mia's magic has opened…
The gun Lulu used was a riffle with two meters and a half barrel in length and used magic as an explosive, instead of explosive powder, shooting substance bullets…
During firing, repulsive force occurs throughout the gun and the bullet does not touch the inside of the gun barrel…
I had a very difficult time making these circuit prints, so I instructed him not to use the gun as a club…
The bullet only moved about half the speed of light, but since it was a 20 mm caliber bullet, its destructive power was incredible…
In fact, Lina who was about to give the final attack had no turn to come out, she set her foot on the ground…
"Silk…"
A sharp-eyed Mia quickly found me, hugging me accompanied by the sound of “Pofun”…
"Masters…"
Everyone gathered after noticing the voice…
After waiting for Lina who had smashed the legs of the chimera on the opposite side of Ciel to finish collecting the magic cores, I returned to the villa and brought everyone…
"What do you think about the new equipment…?"
"The show was amazing…"
"Good…"
"The strongest of the strongest…!"
"Truly feels like a boss…"
This is quite advantageous on the side of the vanguard…
I don't know Ciel's reference, so I'll ask about it from Lina or Tiane later…
I feel it's from some anime or game, but I can't remember it…
"I'm sorry, Secilia is the same…"
"I still can't use acceleration to hit well…"
"Ahh.. with that gun, the trajectory will change even if you sway for a moment…"
"Do your best to master it…"
"Yes, I will do my best…!"
I stroked the head of Totona who was clasping her hands tightly to motivate herself, pushing her away…
After all, it was difficult to use a gun even for me who had Shooting and Sniping skills up to MAX…
It's strong enough if he can handle it well, so I hope he can master it…
"Excessive…"
"His strength is much higher than before, it might be better to use an old cane for support…"
"Nn, overestimated…"
As for the rear guard, most agreed that his strength was too high or so they said such a luxurious matter to me…
"As with Mia, she miscalculated Balloon's expansion range and power, it made Ciel fly to the ceiling twice…"
While staring warmly at Mia who was lightly beating Tiane, I listened to the use of the shield, Cronoa…
"I'm telling you that it's safe…"
"The consumption of magic power has increased and the ability to continue fighting tends to decrease…"
"I requested a supply of magic power after a long absence…"
When there was a scene where Totona tried with all her might to stop Nana from releasing her armor, I gave Cronoa the magic power supplement she wanted during the bath…
I feel that I can use [Magic Power Transfer], but this way seems to be better…
It's like the difference between a calorie bar and the right food, huh…
After being refreshed from the bath, I consulted with Lina and Tiane about the schedule until the moment we got the Mitrhil Plate…
Day X is 10 days later…
