A few days have passed since the day of the tournament.
I had come to the audience hall to consult with the king.

The purpose of this audience was to discuss with him about the plan to expand the production of Qilin potatoes.
I came here to ask him about my plan to secure new farmland.


I didn't expect that ...... was going to be officially established as a department of tamer next year.
When it was announced, I was happy, of course, but more than that, ...... I was concerned that we would not be able to keep up with the production of Kirin potatoes.

If we don't have Kirin potatoes, we can't make beast chips even if we have flavor enhancers.
If you are a tamer of beetle monsters like me, you can substitute beast jelly to some extent. ...... Basically, for tamer, the shortage of beast chips is a matter of life and death.

It's not smart to give out a Kirin potato to every family with tamer and say "good luck with your vegetable garden". ...... I want to set up a mass production system somehow.
On that day, I quickly came up with a win-win solution for the king as well. ...... I had made an appointment to talk about it today.


When I entered the audience room, the king beckoned me in the same manner as before, saying, "Welcome to the palace.

He said, "I hear you have something to tell me today. ...... What is it, exactly?

I've come up with a plan to revitalize an area that has a lot of land but not a lot of agriculture, and I'd like you to hear it.

That's how I answered the king's question.
The king, because of his position, must be very interested in the people's prosperity and the tax revenue that comes from it.
In order to make my wish come true, I wanted to attract the king's interest by starting the conversation from that angle.

"Well. Valius's idea sounds like a crazy idea. ...... What is it about?　Let's talk about it.

We're going to make a local specialty out of the Qilin potato.

"...... Qilin potatoes?

When the king gave me a quizzical look, I used my storage magic to take out the kirin potatoes and beast chips, and then continued my story.

Qilin potatoes are, simply put, the raw material for the ...... food that demons love to eat. It is mainly used by tamer to tame demons. In short, it is a necessity for ...... tamer.

"Oh.

I'm sure the demand for this product will increase as Tyrion becomes a teacher at the elite academy and ...... the proper way to handle followers becomes more widespread. The tamer will not have to worry about stocking up on potatoes, and the grower will be able to make a quick profit. It's a win-win situation, don't you think?

After finishing his proposal, the ...... king meditated for a moment and thought about it, then asked.

I think it's a great idea. There are certainly such territories, and if ...... they could produce special products, the lives of the people living there would be greatly improved. However, there is one problem with ....... If we start growing potatoes now, there will be a time lag before the tamer actually starts buying them. ...... How do you guarantee the farmers' livelihood in the meantime?

Since I had anticipated this question, I decided to give the ...... answer I had prepared in advance.

In the meantime, I'll pay for it with my elixir. What do you think?

"What did you just say to me at ......?

When I answered, the king ...... asked me back with an expression as if he had heard a word he shouldn't have.

"For now, I'll use the elixir to ......

The elixir?　I'm sure you've heard of the miracle drug ......, but with the way you're talking, you can't possibly mass produce it?

Well. If you go to a nearby dungeon, you can produce it in large quantities. The other day at the tournament, they were handing them out to various players. ......

Oh, no. ......

Of course, if you increase the amount of distribution, the market value will fall, so I don't think you can convert it to the current price,......, but I will give you a fair wage in anticipation of that.

Oh, oh. ......

The king paused for a moment, as if in thought.


I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that.

While the king was pondering, I was a little worried that my proposal would not be accepted. ...... In the end, the king replied.

"So let's talk about the land where you can implement your plan. Do you mind?

"Thank you.

As I bowed, the King rose from his throne and took a huge scroll in his hand.

Here's a candidate: ......

Inside the scroll was a map.
The king pointed to a spot and began to describe the land.
