376 # 357 Desert Reward and After Aladdin.txt




He came to Nefer with Farida. But the town was unusual. For some reason, it was a festival.

'What's this?'

Aren't the people who were kidnapped coming back and celebrating?

I see. Maybe so. But it was a slightly different story.

"Long live King Aladdin!

Aladdin... the king? Why is Aladdin the king of the world? I was tilting my head with Farida when Karo-san called me over.

'Lord Tact! Thank you so much for this! My daughter told me the story. I have a gift for you from the mayor of the town of Nefer and the village chief of Konatz village to give to Lord Tact.

That's a lot more reward than I expected! What is it?

Baobab tree: rarity level 8 Material Quality B
A huge tree that is sometimes used as a home in the desert. It is full of life force and is believed to contain the power of the devil.

Baobab Saplings: rare degree 8 Material Quality B
Baobab tree saplings. When grown, it becomes a baobab tree. Can be used as a source of material, but can also be used to make a home.

Coconut tree saplings: rare level 7 Material Quality B-.
Coconut tree seedlings. When grown, the tree becomes a coconut tree and produces coconuts.

Coconut: Rare 7 Food Quality B-.
Coconut fruit. The mature ones are eaten raw and the unripe ones are loved as a drink. The outer bark yields strong natural fibers that are used to make ropes, nets and mats.

Ah, yes. They come in specialty products... but the baobab tree is so big that it's badass. I wonder how many weapons they can make? I also got a lot of coconuts. And surprisingly, coconuts have their uses. Mr. Sharrow and his friends are going to be very happy. If we can make a proper net, we can fish for the nets.

Mr.Karo said he wanted to give them some money as well, but they can't spend it because of the reconstruction, and this is the best way to show their utmost gratitude.

For now, the tree is going to Setia and Mir.

'And now, as a thank you from me, you can choose any of these.

That being said... when I check it out, it's still the same as the one I saw before... hmm!

This is...

What I found was a plain white fan that looked like it might be used at a shrine. Appraisal.

White fan: rarity 7, fan quality B
Weight: 5 Endurance Value: 100 Attack Power: 5
Effect: Divine attribute given, dance effect increased (large)
A plain fan made of bamboo and Japanese paper. It is mainly used as a ritual. The dance may give all allies the sacred attributes.

I'm not sure how effective the dance is, but it's pretty strong. I'll ask Karo-san about it.

'It was sold to me by the Serian Beast of Cats as something he used to use in the past. It must have been used with great care. There wasn't a scratch on it, so I've kept it safe until now.

I'm sure that cat's Cerian Beast was a Cerian Beast just like Koi Fire and the others. It's kind of heartbreaking to buy one, but...

Is that it?

Yes. Give me this.

So I got a white fan. Then I ask him about the festivities.

'Everyone saw how King Aladdin used the Demon God to fight to save the town. Moreover, even those who were kidnapped were brought back by the demon gods, and we are honoring these demon gods and King Aladdin.

I see... sure, we all see Jin fighting, and it was Jin who sent the people who were captured.

''Puh-puh.....

They can hear you.

Farida laughed and a boy appeared behind her. 'You must be Jin.

'Give me your face for a moment.'

I change the location and ask him about the situation. First of all, Aladdin was sacrificed, and now he's enjoying a life of luxury. As a result, Jin is going out with Aladdin, but he's not so keen on the idea.

It's obvious that they're all after my power. Besides, anyone can see that this luxury will soon be disguised and a mountain of miscellaneous work will come along.

Well, of course. Takt, let's go home.

Yeah. If Aladdin is enjoying himself, it's bad enough to interrupt him.

'Well, wait! I mean, how the hell do you get out there?

That's because I made a deal with Tact. Or do you mean the seal?

...yes.

That's because I'm now a weakened demon. That seal was meant for demons, so a demon like me is not covered by it.

Jin gives me a look as if he had a hand in that.

''You... no way...''

I'm just saying, it's a coincidence, okay? It still pisses me off that no matter how much I want to be freed, those people took my power and used me.

You sound like you're really mad at me.

'That too... and I need you to do something about Aladdin?

"Tact, don't do it. It's too late for that. Jin, I'm going to bet on your future. I'll have to charge you for your games, and you and Aladdin will be working all the time.

Yeah, I think so. I agree. What happens to people who play for free?

"Didn't that sandstorm in the Sandwall Desert disappear once? You could have gotten out then, couldn't you?

'Yes. It's back to normal now, but...

I sensed it too... but by that time, Aladdin's like a hero, and he's put his playtime before the outside world.

It's a pity. It's ironic that I'm freer now that I'm a genie, but let's go home. Tact.

I feel sorry for the gin, but I don't want to get caught up in it. Let's go home and log out.
