The king was pointing to a place southeast of the capital.
It was a territory called Letorga.

This place, Letorga, is a vast territory, but ...... its geology is a problem.

　The king traced his finger along the border of the Letorga territory on the map.

The soil contains so much salt that it is almost impossible for crops to grow there. Because of this, agriculture has not flourished much at all. Is it possible to grow qilin potatoes on ...... such land?

　With the explanation of the situation of the land, the king asked me such a question.

Yes. No problem.

　I answered the king's question.


　The Qilin potato is a crop that can only be grown in very specific soil conditions.
　If you plant it in ordinary soil, the potatoes will rot in the ground without even sprouting.

　Therefore, in order to grow Qilin potatoes on any kind of land, you must first change the quality of the soil.
　Whether it is a land where normal crops can be grown or the worst soil for normal crops, it still needs to be modified.

　So it doesn't matter to me at all that the land I plan to grow is contaminated with salt.
　In fact, considering the procedure to improve the quality of the soil, the condition of the land is more than favorable.

　So I immediately answered the king's question.
　I was rather grateful for the land.

So ...... I see. I've never heard of this plant before, so I thought it might be a good idea to suggest it to you. ...... Are you sure you want to do this?　I can suggest other territories if that's what you want,.......

No, there is no need for that. Retorga will be fine.

Oh. Oh. ...... I see.

　The king rolled up the map, put it on the shelf, and began to write something on a piece of paper.
　Then he stamped the paper and ...... held it out to me and said, "This is my letter of introduction.

This is a letter of introduction from me. When you visit the house of the Lord of Retorga, show this to him. If you want to proceed with this as a matter of policy, you'll have to consult with the Lord of Retorga.

　It seemed that the king had written a letter of introduction while he was here.

Thank you.

　I took the letter of introduction and put it away with a storage spell.


　I bowed to the king and was about to leave the audience hall.

And ......, no, it's nothing after all.

　The king was about to say something, but swallowed his words in mid-sentence.

　...... What were you going to say?
　I was curious, but I didn't ask any questions about it.
　I felt it would be better not to get involved in the matter since the king had stopped talking.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

　With that, I left the audience hall.


"Caucasus, Belzebub, thank you for waiting. You can leave now.

"Okay.
Okay.

　As soon as I left the audience hall, I called out to the two animals that were waiting in the myotrope and asked them to come down.
　Then I got on the myotrope and set off in the direction of the southeast.


　I flew in the myotrope for a few hours.


　After a few hours of flying in the myotrope, ...... I finally saw the city of Retorga in the distance.
　I activated my clairvoyance and started to check where the mansion was located in the city.

"It's still delicious, this.
'Yes, yes. Yes, yes. These are the best chips in the wind!

　The Caucasus and Belzebub are eating like this.

　Regardless of that, I took a look around the territory, changing the position of my clairvoyant's viewpoint every now and then.

　The land is large, and the population density is low. ...... Even the private houses seem to be sparsely built.
　While I was thinking about this, I continued to look around.
　I couldn't find any houses yet, but I suddenly found a scene that I couldn't take my eyes off.

　A girl of about 15 years old was holding a sword and facing a demon that was twice as tall as her.
　The demon was an ape-shaped creature called a Dragon Ape that could fly.
　It was a dangerous kind of demon to see in the city.

　However, if you were as good as Kaydee, you could kill it instantly.
　The girl didn't seem to me to be that good.

　In fact,......, upon closer inspection, the girl's expression was bold, but her legs were shaking.
　I think I'd better go help her with this.

"Caucasus, Belzebub, I've got some space transfer to do. "Caucasus, Belzebub, I've got a space transfer to make.

　I took out my Lunametal sword with my storage magic and left it for the two of them, then I used my spatial transfer to move behind Dragon Ape.
　And then I stabbed him with my Lunar Metal sword, killing him.
