"Hey, kid. Can I talk to you for a second?"

"What's up, old man?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I've had this tendency for a while, but it's become more pronounced lately. I'm still okay with it, but I thought I'd report it to the priest before it becomes a problem."

"Hmm?　What are you talking about? What do you mean, what's going on?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, sorry. I'm just saying, the price of zauberbiest eggs has been going up lately. They're getting harder and harder to find."

"The eggs of the messenger beasts?　Valkyries are still looking to increase their numbers, so that's a problem."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Right?　Prices have been slowly rising for a while now, but only recently have they been getting higher. Still, the number of buyers is increasing, so it's getting harder and harder to get them.

"I see. I had no idea because I left it to you. But getting the eggs for the messenger beasts was a job you left to him, wasn't it? That means he has to do something about it.

"Don't say that, boy. You're the one who's stuck with the messenger eggs. Besides, one of the reasons the price is going up is because of you.

"I'm the cause?　Don't lie to me, old man. I didn't do anything.

"Don't tell me you didn't, kid. I'm sure you're the reason that the demand for messenger beasts has gone up."

　The new expansion north of Vulcania has created a ranch.

　I put a Valkyrie and a goat there.

　I have a horned Valkyrie with them.

　If anything goes wrong, Valkyrie will use her shotgun, and the goats will live peacefully.

　When I had finished building the farm, the old man talked to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, he was talking about the eggs of the beast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the price of the beast egg has been on the rise recently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He said that I was the cause of the price increase.

"Listen, kid. We've been buying those hexenbiest eggs for years. Just buying enough of them would normally drive the price up. The supply itself hasn't changed that much."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, maybe so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But it's just added to it. Your Valkyrie has done a lot of good."

"Valkyrie's success?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Many people have learned about Valkyries in action on the battlefield. Not only against Fontana's army led by Master Raymond, but also against the Uruk army the Valkyrie cavalrymen achieved great successes. Seeing this, more and more people decided to raise their own Valkyries.

"...... but there have been those before, haven't there?　Besides, I think we can raise the selling price of Valkyrie if that's the trend."

"What are you talking about? It's become famous that we don't sell antlers that can do magic. What the others want is a hexenbiest-type beast that can be used on the battlefield. Of course, there are buyers for antlerless ones, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. So you're saying that since I wouldn't sell Valkyries as Hexenbiests, the demand for Valkyrie eggs has increased because people are wondering if they can produce them themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's what I mean. And this story is not limited to the Fontana territory. It seems that other noble families are also beginning to follow suit.

"So, the price of the eggs of the beast of burden has gone up at the stage of distribution that reaches the Fontana territory," he said. ...... Maybe they are restricting the sales?　They don't want too many Valkyries in Barca."

"I don't know. It may not be that far along at the moment, but I can't say that it's not possible."

　Oh, shit.

　It's one thing to be active on the battlefield, but I never thought it would affect me in this way.

　Apparently, the world is experiencing an unprecedented boom in the use of beastmen.

　And it's against my Valkyrie.

　This problem might not be good if left unattended for a while.

　To tell the truth, the biggest force in the territory of the Balkan knights is currently a pack of Valkyries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Their high mobility alone makes them a great weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it does not mean that they can remain as they are now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we want, we should increase the number of Valkyries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would like to have more than a thousand cavalrymen alone, like the Keima cavalry in Uruk.

"...... Speaking of which, I've been wanting to ask you for a while now, how do you get the eggs of the messenger beasts?　Eggs that absorb magic power and give birth to messengers that take on different forms depending on their magic power are, even after all this time, still very mysterious eggs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, you mean that. The eggs of the messenger are produced by a certain messenger. There's a mastodactyl that produces mastodactyl eggs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A messenger beast that produces the eggs of a messenger beast?　Unlike Valkyries and the like, there's a messenger beast that produces eggs. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Or rather, it is said to be a hexenbiest type, though. I heard it uses a magic called "spawning."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"[Spawning] is another magic just like that. But if there is such a beast, can't we buy it?　If we let them lay eggs, we don't have to buy them as messenger beast eggs, do we?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course it's impossible. They're so tightly controlled that if you try to take them out, you'll be caught and you'll never make it back alive."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, of course. I don't know what to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I didn't know the egg of a messenger beast was like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The old man had been bringing them to me, so I hadn't paid any attention to them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it will be a big problem if I can't get them anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Something must be done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While there is still some time to spare.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"All right, old man. Now get me as many of those beast eggs as you can get your hands on."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you going to do, kid?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I was wondering if there is such a thing as a mastodactyl that produces mastodactyl eggs, if we could reproduce it. That's what I'm trying to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Reproducing a [spawning] messenger beast?　That's impossible. You don't think anyone has done it before?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, let's give it a shot, even if it's a dead end. Anyway, collect as many of the eggs as you can."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I decided to take steps to obtain a steady supply of the eggs.
