Chapter 235 - What's Needed to Obtain Dragon Coins
After leaving the church, we took the narrower side path, showed the cliff where the [Yakokko] fell from, and then returned to the fields.
"Alright, then, is it Q&A time? Should I talk about what happened last time first?"
Yes, I think so. Everyone, which would you prefer?
While [Mion] asked the comment section, I decided to settle down.
The space between the [Grapeful] arbor and the fields, sunny and my usual resting spot.
"~~~♪"
"Here, everyone, eat these."
As [Sweee] urged me, I took out some [Torotoro Dried Papu Fruit], and the [Fairies] swarmed it with a whoosh.
[Shou]-kun, please start from your encounter with the [Dragonfolk], or rather, from last time's incident.
"Okay. Uhm, our first encounter was past the [unlock code] door, turning left at the [crossroads]..."
From there, we took the [Transfer Elevator] down to a giant storage facility? We exterminated the massive number of undead there, and then, with [Sweee]'s advice, I infused mana into the [Emergency Magic Crystal Stone], and it lit up...
[Draichisan] "So the [Dragonfolk] could transfer all along..."
[Marionella] "Video please!"
[Calserine] "Come to think of it, they seemed to transfer when they came to [Amiera Territory] too."
[Sacre] "So there's no setting like, 'they can fly, so they don't use transfer magic'?"
etc. etc...
I'm sorry about the video. I saw it myself, but it's been removed from the archive.
"It seems a live-only protect was put on it, so the footage isn't saved. That's why I've been feeling frustrated by the whole situation, you know."
"Woof."
*Perhaps sensing my wry smile, [Lupi] rested her head on my lap.
Yeah, petting her really calms me down...*
[Nightny] "Ops, come on..."
[Napalm] "Approximately when was this?"
[Nankun] "Without the video, it lacks credibility."
[Marusan] "I believe you!"
etc. etc...
"Uhm, the timing was, I think, around the day before the current [World Quest] started?"
It was.
"It was during the flow of that conversation that I heard about the [Necropolis]. Oh, and at that time, of course, I didn't know it was the [Necropolis] for the [World Quest]."
I hesitated a bit, but decided to be open about what I heard regarding the calamity. However, I kept the detailed contents, especially the fact that the [Giantkin] were the cause, under wraps, as no one else should know that yet.
"I agree that without the video, it lacks credibility. So, for the facts, please consider only what was in the last archived live stream."
The [Dragonfolk] asked you to investigate if there were any dangerous items in the [ancient ruins] on this island, right?
"Yeah. This island is far from the continent and its importance is low, so they just asked me to report my findings. I received a [Magic Transfer Box] for that purpose."
[Galeso] "A [Magic Transfer Box]!?"
[Subrock] "Ah, is that how you send sweets?"
[Magip] "What's the size?"
[Wizun] "Seems super convenient..."
etc. etc...
As expected, the comment section became excited about the [Magic Transfer Box].
"Its size is about a tangerine box, I guess? Enough to send 30 [Torotoro Dried Papu Fruit]."
Since the destination seems fixed, whether it's convenient... I wonder if it's convenient for them if they have the same box? I haven't asked.
You sent a lot on Tuesday too, didn't you?
"Yeah. [Argenta]-san said the [Hii-sama (Princess)] likes them."
While I'm happy she likes them, I wonder if it's causing trouble for [Argenta]-san. Well, she is a princess, so I guess she's probably spoiled. The beautiful princess of the [Ise Family] is also spoiled...
[Shumei] "No return for [Shou]-kun?"
[Amatsunoyu] "Working for free is a no-go~ o(｀ω´ )o"
[Elec] "The [Magic Transfer Box] doesn't count as a reward."
[Bearmen] "Ehh, but isn't it hard to say you want something? (・_・;"
etc. etc...
"Ah, um, I probably should have said this first. Sending the [Torotoro Dried Papu Fruit] was more like a small seasonal gift, you know..."
You didn't even know if they'd eat it, did you?
"That's right, that's right."
[Argenta]-san seemed kind, so I didn't think she'd say, "Who could eat such a thing!" but I also didn't expect them to like it so much.
"But then, I got a reply right away, asking me to send a lot more..."
[Lemon Milk] "[Torotoro Dried Papu Fruit] is super popular with the [Dragonfolk] too!"
[Gafugafu] "Critical hit on the [Hii-sama (Princess)]!"
[Nyx] "It really is delicious, though..."
[Shakeena] "Best of all, it's not fattening! (>_<)"
etc. etc...
"As for a reward, I guess I've been given permission to use any magic tools I find on this island as I like? And if there's a dangerous device, they'll take it off my hands."
The [Magic Brewer] also became [Shou]-kun's property.
"Well, I'm the only one who uses it on this island anyway."
[Taraami] "Sweets are the essence of the [World Quest], huh! lol"
[Kland] "Let's ask for rice as a reward."
[Calserine] "How about asking them to teach you how to transfer?"
[Yonro] "Let's get something for every new sweet you make lol"
etc. etc...
There were quite a few opinions suggesting I should ask for this and that, but for me, anything that can be obtained on this island feels like it should be procured by myself. I might consider it if it becomes absolutely impossible, but that's about it.
Also... [Shou]-kun hasn't received any [Dragon Coins], right?
"Yeah. They're the medals needed to enter the [Necropolis] for the [World Quest], right? From how it felt last time, I guess I could get one if I asked, but... it wouldn't do me any good."
What do you think about the method for obtaining those [Dragon Coins]?
"[Argenta]-san said we need to know what happened in that place, and have a title that earns the trust of the [Dragonfolk]. Those two flags need to be raised, I think.
In my case, I was taught the former, and for the latter, I have the title [Fairy Guardian], so [Argenta]-san probably thought, 'if it's him...'"
Regarding the latter, I think there are other ways. The player guilds [Silver Manor] and [Throne of the Thunder Emperor] receiving rewards from the Viscount must be because they earned the trust of [Viscount Edward Amiera], an important figure in this [World Quest].
[Nezu~] "If you raise both flags, huh..."
[Shazun] "Super easy to understand!"
[Kincoji] ""
[Washo] "
etc. etc...
And just like that, as if hooked by a single donation, a cascade of donations came pouring in...
"A-ahh, I'm happy for the donations, but seriously, it's just my speculation! I can't take responsibility for it!"
Please don't push yourself!
After I said that, the donations increased even more...
