204 Episode 192: Desperate Eggs
We were headed to the pig village looking for the eggs that were supposed to be in the Beastman district.
Walking with an egg that Lapisia has taken from the Earl of Demons at night.
Suddenly he ran to my side, poking his eggs out.
"Kaika! It's half white!
"Oh, that's so fast. At this rate, please."
"Yeah!"
When I stroke Lapisia's head, she smiles with joy.
- I think it's a little too soon.
For once, the fact that Lapisia is growing as a goddess may be affecting her.
Well, it's good to have it purified quickly.
Then we reached the pig village near the great forest to the south. There are about a hundred blurry huts.
Gather in the square and listen.
Fearing the glory of Megna, the Hundred Beasts Queen, they were all seated in the right place.
"They say you guys go south a lot, but didn't you bring the stolen goods back from the bandit's Azit? What I'm looking for is a round egg, the same size as this."
I pointed to the egg Lapisia held with both arms.
The pigs shake their heads.
"Don't know, I'm just looking for food." "Didn't you see it?"
That's when the pig boy behind me stood up. My eyes are as big and cute as Uribo's.
"Oh, me, I know!
"What! Where!? Where did you see that!?
The boy trembled freaking out because of a sudden shout.
"Uh... I saw it in the village of the Squirrel Beast Man. The other day, when I went to ask for a new cabin."
"He taught me well. Thank you."
"Oh, yes."
The boy sat back down again, holding his chest down.
I look at Celica and Mea and nod.
Mea leaves a step forward and smiles.
"Cooperation, hard work. You can dissolve it."
"" "Ha ~" "
And the pig beasts fell down.
And immediately headed to the village of the Squirrel Beast Man.
I walk early by accident.
"Finally. I'm going to put on a scarf by the end of the day."
- Today is the third day. We only have four more days. I don't have enough time to think about exploring Demon King's Castle.
"Yes, Kaika."
Celica rocked her blonde hair and nodded forcefully.
At dusk.
The sky was covered in thick clouds. The clouds on the west side are heartless or red.
Finally we reached the village of Squirrel.
A village by the woods, on the east side of the Beastman district.
I had them all gathered in the square just like before.
I ask.
"I heard there was a difference in the color of this egg here. I won't ask about the bandit's stolen goods, so I want you to give me the egg."
Then the elder of the squirrel beast opened his mouth.
"Excuse me, brave man. I've already turned the eggs into lumber."
"What!?
The elder bows his head so many times that he is sorry.
"I needed lumber to set up my house, and I gave it to a lumber dealer down the river for it"
View the house around. There was certainly a lot of new construction. Straight lumber was hung with cloth in the warehouse only on the roof and wall.
- Speaking of which, the pigs had also asked Squirrels to build a new home.
"Lumber Merchant..."
I've seen them go down the river in a long way.
I almost got on my knees by accident.
- How much do I care if I cross from person to person...!
Lumber dealer down the river means I should have sold it to one of the towns facing the river.
However, the Dryde Chamber of Commerce had built a lot of high-speed transport ship stations. The express ship connects Dollar Earth directly to the Wang Capital, but besides, there were regular ships parked at each station.
Naturally, lumber dealers down the river use each station to sell timber.
Lumber merchants gather in the city of Klu, upstream of the river.
I just have to go there and gather information, but if I already let it go, the station along the river.
I don't know where the eggs are again.
Who made the suggestion to increase such stations?
- It's me.
I enjoyed it.
I didn't know what you did to make more money on high-speed transport would come here and be on your back.
Had it not been for the station on the way, there would have been only the King's Capital or Dollar Earth.
I said as I put my hand on my head.
"He spoke well and honestly. Thank you."
"I can't help you, I'm sorry"
Selica said in a voice that seemed worried.
"Kaika..."
"Don't worry. If it's in the merchant's hands again, it's quicker to ask the same merchant's dried. Let's get him looking again."
"Right. Let's ask Mr. Dryde."
And followed the village of Squirrel.
It began to snow from cloudy weather.
Celica says it like she's talking to herself.
"Soon, the dragon's breath will come..."
"Is it going to snow a lot? We have to prove Celica's innocence by then."
"Yes, let's do our best"
That's how Celica smiled.
We headed to the fairy door with few words.
On his way home, he stopped by the Dryde Chamber of Commerce in Dollar Earth and told Dryde that the egg had been obtained by a lumber dealer down the river.
He immediately turned to me to ask for a branch of a lumber dealer.
Waiting at the Chamber of Commerce, he returned with a dark face.
"We hit all the lumberjacks, but we didn't see a deal with eggs. Probably made a back deal to escape taxes. The Beastman District is not obliged to report, so it will not be discovered first"
"Can you keep looking into it?
"Yes, it'll take some time, but I'll go up to Crewe tomorrow and listen in"
"I asked for it."
I entrusted him with the egg and left the Dryde Chamber of Commerce behind.
It was totally night when I went outside.
To get back to Edelstein, knock on the fairy door.
When I entered the small room dedicated to the brave man in the fairy world, I accidentally sighed.
"You're not gonna make it."
I gently touched my arm as Celica smiled gently.
"It's a dragon egg, I'm sure a strange force is working."
"It's an annoying force."
Ha, and I laugh in a weird voice.
... That was when I was having a carefree time home after work.
Suddenly, the fairy door, directly across the street, glowed.
And the extra momentum boy rolled out.
The skirt of the maid's clothes flutters.
It was a boy Dinahy who bought it as a maid of honor for Lionel.
If you find me, you're shaking your head Katyusha and clinging to me.
"Oh! Kaika! Oh, my God!"
"What's the matter, so hasty"
When he looked up at me, he burst into tears in his eyes.
"The town...! Everyone......! Mr. Lionel!
"What!? What happened!
"Help me - Wow!
Suddenly I started crying.
I intuited something had happened to the town on the border continent.
I see Celica and Mea.
"Let's go!
"Yes!" "N" "Wow"
I'm going to the door where Dinahy came out.
Two more to go.
Rapissia followed me after chanting "kiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
And knocked at the door that led to the peripheral continent.
