I’m an Appraiser, But What the Heck is a [Divine Eye]? ~I Want to Live Freely as the World’s Best Beginner Class~ - Episode 231: Hot Springs, Hospitality, and Trouble 30

Episode 231: Hot Springs, Hospitality, and Trouble 30

“One more thing. It’s about the fruit that temporarily boosts abilities.”

At present, the management of the fruit is being handled by the Granzawall side.

The reason for this is that the Adelreed Kingdom is not currently at war.

There has been no urgent need for it recently, and there are no dangerous magical beasts near the royal capital. 

However, if they do go on a magical beast hunt, the fruit stored in magical bags has already been entrusted to those who are aware of the situation.

“We are also imposing information restrictions here, but we may be approaching the limit. Some of the soldiers have started noticing the significant changes in the status of their Captain and Vice Captain.” 

“I see… No, rather, it’s a miracle that we’ve managed to suppress the information up until today.”

“Yes. So, from now on, would it be possible for the royal family to manage it directly?”

When Alicia said this, His Majesty turned his gaze toward Dietrich-sama.

“That might be for the best. However, if we do that, we will need to send a few people from our side as well.” 

“Yes. It wouldn’t be proper to have the Granzawall soldiers guard the royal family’s land again.”

“We’ll need to select trustworthy knights and mages to inform them of the facts,” 

Dietrich-sama said, crossing his arms and starting to think.

He was probably considering who to select.

However, one person had been listening to the conversation. He suddenly raised his voice.

“How about me!”

“No, Captain Vigul.” 

“Wow, that was quick!” 

“You are the Knight Commander, aren’t you? What about guarding His Majesty? What about the knights? Don’t get carried away just because the food and drinks are good!” 

“……My apologies.” 

Ah, it’s rare for Dietrich-sama to speak so firmly like that. 

……Well, even I could tell that the Knight Commander’s comment was out of line.

“Alright, alright, Dietrich. We’ll decide on the personnel later. Let’s move forward with making this royal land.” 

“Thank you, Your Majesty. And, may I ask, would it be possible for us to continue gathering the fruit for the development of the Forest of Demons?” 

If the royal land suddenly made the fruit unusable, the development would come to a halt. 

Well, with my Appraisal skill, it might not be impossible. But the speed would decrease significantly. So I’d rather not have that happen.

“Of course. The development of the Forest of Demons is valuable for the Adelreed Kingdom as well, so we must not slow its progress.” 

“I sincerely thank you, Your Majesty.”

Now, that was probably the main issue dealt with.

There were still some smaller matters to consider, but most of them were already known to everyone. So it wasn’t a problem in the presence of the other ministers.

Next, it was Dietrich-sama who spoke.

“Now then, I would like to bring up our request and confirmation.”

“Understood.” 

Alicia straightened up and tensed her body.

Though Dietrich-sama had spoken with her frequently recently, They had never had a formal conversation in an official capacity. 

And given that she was speaking with the Chancellor of a nation, it was no wonder she was nervous.

“……Hehe, you don’t need to be that tense, Alicia-sama.” 

“Ah! …I apologize!” 

“It’s fine. But the matters we need to discuss should not be too difficult.”

“Is that so?” 

After a brief introduction, Dietrich-sama brought up the possibility of setting up a teleportation magic circle connecting the royal capital, Granzawall, and the various towns, including the Onsen District.
