Chapter 540 - Chapter 481: Silver Manor - Work on the Southern Island
The southern island that Shou and Mion discovered.
Though the two of them aren't there, the members of "Silver Manor," who are scheduled to manage it, are active.
"Logging out in this island's Safe Zone doesn't force a return to the mainland, huh..."
Bacchus, one of the production team's core members, logs in and appears inside the cottage.
Having received a tour of the island yesterday since their first landing, and having finished the meeting with the Kijimunaa, he had logged out at the cottage after obtaining permission from Azure Dragon.
"Hey there! Bacchus!"
"Ooh! Where are you?"
"I'm over in the Armra Forest area"
Zeld's voice, also a production team core member, could be heard through the guild card.
Zeld, who had logged in earlier, was apparently clearing underbrush in the Armra Forest. Right away, he went to help...
"Bacchus-san. Are you there?"
"Oh, Yuki-san. What's up?"
"Dimaria-san is heading your way now. Please guide her there."
"Oh, got it. You heard that too, Zeld? I'll be guiding Dimaria-san, so wait a bit, will you?"
"Roger that"
Currently, since there were no dangerous monsters on the island where they were active, Dimaria, who mainly focused on production skills, had decided to come as well.
Still, she could use Spirit Magic, so she wouldn't lose to goblins or anything like that.
"I'm heading over"
"Ooh"
Just as Bacchus arrived in front of the Transfer Magic Circle, a call came through the guild voice chat, and soon after, Yuki and Dimaria appeared.
"Hello, Bacchus-san"
"Hey. But, if Yuki-san's here..."
He was about to say that Yuki could guide her, but
"Sorry. I have a meeting with Master Chef and the others now"
"Seriously? Well, I'll tell them about this place, then?"
"Yes. But just this: 'We received a Transfer Magic Circle from Shou-kun that connected to an uninhabited island. We're exploring it with permission from Shou-kun and the Dragonkin.'"
At those words, Bacchus and Dimaria nodded.
They plan to publicize this island eventually and open it to other players, but to be honest, Silver Manor alone would have a hard time managing it.
"Do you think they'll help us over there?"
"I think they'll help even if we don't ask? Because those guys are Shou-kun and Mion-chan's fan club, their fan guild, after all"
Even though it's through Silver Manor, they wouldn't want to be rude to Shou's kindness.
"With this climate, there must be ingredients not found on the mainland. I think there's more than enough repayment for any help they offer"
At Dimaria's gentle and kind words, the two of them nodded vigorously.
It's impossible for Silver Manor alone to monopolize this island's blessings, and they have no intention of doing so. Besides, it would probably be impossible anyway.
In that case, their policy for Silver Manor is to share as much of the game's fun as possible with others.
"Well, I'm off then. I'll be back tonight with Bell and the others, so look after things until then!"
"Ooh. Well then, shall we go?"
"Yes"
◇◇◇
"Nyaanyaa~?"
"Nya!"
In front of the Divine Tree in the Selkie village, Shal was checking on Silver Cat Delivery.
Today, he would deliver vegetables received from the Urisk people to the Selkies and, in return, receive dried fish and head back.
"Kyukyuu~♪"
Prince True of the Selkies has arrived.
It seems he came to thank Shal and the others who regularly deliver ingredients.
"Nya~an. Nya?"
Silver Cat Delivery travels through the tree hollow of the Divine Tree, but that's only thanks to Queen Fairy Sweee.
Sweee isn't here...
"Kyuu. Kyukyuu"
"Nya-fu"
It seems he's doing various things at the place where Shou usually makes alcohol.
Since the delivery work was almost done, they decided to go fetch him together.
"Nya. Nyaanyaa?"
"Kyuu. Kyuu-kyuu"
On their way to the harbor tavern, Shal asked True if there was anything troubling him.
It's not exactly a problem, but the Tokiwagai and Lance Squid caught by Shou and the others last time were a huge hit, and everyone wants to eat them again.
"Nya-fu"
The Selkies are allowed to go to the southern island, but they've also been told not to bother the Kijimunaa living there.
"Nyaanyaa"
"Ky♪"
Just as the harbor tavern came into view, they decided to consult with Sweee first.
"'''Kyuu~♪'''"
"Nya~an"
The Selkies are bringing barrels containing alcohol and jugs containing vinegar.
Part of the vinegar is for the Selkies' own use, but most of the alcohol is a gift for the dragons as thanks for protecting the island.
According to Shou, it's a token of gratitude for having the dragons protect their island.
Impressed that their lord could get dragons to protect their island, they arrived at the tavern.
"Nyaanyaa?"
"~~~♪"
Sweee, who was behind the tavern, they were worried she might be drunk, but she's fine.
Another fairy named Warnae seemed to be keeping a close watch on her.
"Nya. Nyaanyaa~"
"Kyukyuu~?"
"~~~♪"
When Shal and True asked Sweee if they could get more seafood from the southern island, she agreed without hesitation.
That's because she also wants to taste the tropical fruits there.
"~~~?"
"~~~♪"
Warnae asked if it was okay, but Sweee replied that it was fine. She said she would follow Shou's instructions.
"Nya"
"Kyuu"
They had to be responsible.
So thought Shal and True.
