Chapter 317

(317) Interlude: Miri and Daijiro at that time

Translator: Tseirp

“Hey, Daijiro . What did you ask Jofre and Elize to do?”

A test flight was being carried out after the maintenance at the Mallegory dock was complete .

That said, it was not being done by Daijiro or Miri so they had time for idle talk .

“What is it?”

Daijiro asked as she poured wine into a champagne gla.s.s with ice .

Miri didn’t want to complain about why she was using a champagne gla.s.s instead of a wine gla.s.s by now and she didn’t want to talk about old topics on how ice shouldn’t be put into wine .

For cheaper wines drunk at home, it may be easier to chill them with ice after all .

That said, she wanted her to stop putting ice into high-cla.s.s wine that cost 50,000 sense of a bottle . That was blasphemy to the craftsman .

She was a little annoyed but complaining now would stir up a hornet’s nest so she focused on listening to Daijiro’s reply .

“I asked them to retrieve the horn of a lizard . ”

“Horn of a lizard?”

On Earth, there were horned lizards as well . They were called Horned Lizards too . And in this world, there were lizard monsters with splendid horns as well .

But those horns were relatively cheap to purchase and it was not precious enough to warrant asking them to set off to buy it . They could even get it in Mallegory .

“That sounds like a novice errand ― but those two seem to have failed . Perhaps they picked up something outrageous . ”

Her relations.h.i.+p with Jofre and Elize was shallow but Miri accurately a.n.a.lyzed the two of them and predicted the results .

“Famiris’ intuition is still sharp . But that’s exactly the reason why I chose the two of them . ”

“Hmph . But I don’t know about that . If you ask them for a lizard horn, they might come back with a rabbit horn . ”

A rabbit horn was significantly cheaper than a lizard horn and its utility value was lower as well .

“I am waiting for the other opposite of that . Furthermore, don’t worry . Those two are loved by the G.o.ds . ”

“G.o.ds … huh . ”

Miri said with annoyance .

She had only heard a little about Jofre and Elize’s journey until now .

From the hidden dungeon between Belasra and Florence, arriving at the G.o.ddess statue room through luck alone, and escaping the infinitely appearing group of monsters in Ferruit without any injuries .

Even though the church released a wanted poster of them, they escaped without intentionally escaping and became the hero’s companion Daijiro’s subordinate just based on the fact that they were nearby .

They could certainly be said to be loved by the G.o.ds but thinking about the six G.o.ddesses made Miri sigh a little .

Then, she looked down from the sky at the ground to the west .

Kyupilas Hill ― and the dominion of the s.h.i.+raraki Kingdom beyond it .

She could not shout out . She could not convey anything .

Even if she did, it would definitely not reach the person it is intended for .

” …… ”

Daijiro wordlessly smiled and tilted the champagne gla.s.s that only had ice remaining . The melted smaller chunks of ice clinked against the gla.s.s .
