I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call you."

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

I am in a private room on the second floor of a commercial guild.

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

The man who places the tea on the desk in front of us is a man wearing glasses, Mr. Aziluk.

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

He is a very gentlemanly man.

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

No, sir."

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

The other person sitting on the couch in front of me is Mr. Drew, who is the organizer of the people doing the appraisals.

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

He is a man of about 50 years old with a slightly protruding stomach.

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

For some reason, this man has been snickering since a few minutes ago.

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

Where did you get this ore?

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

As I reach for a cup of tea, Mr. Drew suddenly leans forward and asks loudly.

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

Hiccup!"

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

A small scream rises from my mouth at the force of it, and I cling to the druid sitting next to me.

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

Mr. Druid gently pats my head to calm me down.

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

When I look at him, his brow is wrinkled and he is glaring at Mr. Drew with all his might.

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

'Drow, you're scaring me!　Sorry."

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

Mr. Aziluk taps Mr. Drew's head vigorously.

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

It made a nice sound and seemed to hurt a little.

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

I'm sorry. I got a little excited.

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

No, so which ore are you talking about?"

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

I'm still amazed at Mr. Druid's ability to respond calmly in front of someone whose eyes are a little bloodshot.

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

But still, his voice is even lower than usual.

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

He sounds a little angry.

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

"These are the four types of druids," he says.

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

Mr. Aziluk lays out the ores on his desk.

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

All the ores were collected in a cave deep in the forest.

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

There are yellow ores, light blue ores mixed with brown, ores with green spots, and ores that at first glance look like rocks.

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

Can you explain why you ask about these ores?"

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

The druid asks the question in a hard voice.

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

As expected of a former adventurer, he has a powerful voice.

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

Mr. Drew seems a little flustered.

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

Let's see..."

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

It's the drow's fault. It's because you're scaring your daughter.

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

Me?

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

Come to think of it, I was still clinging to Mr. Druid.

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

A little embarrassed, I sat back down.

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

Are you okay?"

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

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it. Thank you."

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

When I sat back down, for some reason, Mr. Drew and Mr. Aziluk looked relieved.

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

They said, "Well, about the ores, these four types are said to be the ores in the abode of the god who protects the village of Hatau."

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

Wow - I've brought some awesome ore.

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

I mean, a dwelling place?

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

Are you talking about the cave deep in the forest?

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

If so, I guess I brought it without permission.

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

But Mr. Serpent didn't seem angry. ......

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

'I'm sorry,' he said. We don't know much about the guardian deity of this village, but by dwelling place do you mean a cave?"

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

Mr. Aziluk nodded at the druid's question.

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

'Yes, that's right. It is said to be at the far end of the forest. We looked for it several times, but we couldn't reach it because there were too many demons.

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

Was that cave that deep in the forest?

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

I don't remember because all I cared about was my feet.

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

And the demons?

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

There were definitely some, but they were all being chased away by Ciel.

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

I don't know what kind of demons were there.

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

I see.

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

Mr. Druid is ministering to me in a mysterious way.

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

I wonder what he will do.

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

I can't say anything bad, can I?

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

I'm sorry, but I don't know where that cave is either.

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

What? But this ore..."

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

I got lost on the way and found myself in a cave.

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

Hmmm, I guess I better not interrupt.

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

And it's unclear what Mr. Druid is talking about.

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

Let's just be careful not to move our expressions.

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

If they find out I'm lying by the way I look, I'll be in trouble.

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

Are you lost?"

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

Yes, I dropped my compass on the way here.

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

A compass is an item that points in the right direction and is one of the necessities for travel.

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

But I don't have one.

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

I was shown a druid's compass, but it didn't work once on the journey coming to Hatau village.

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

It didn't come into play on the trip to follow Ciel.

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

'The compass!　That must have been hard."

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

Yes, we went off the village road to pick a few medicinal herbs along the way, but we got lost there.

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

It is true that I picked medicinal herbs.

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

This is also deep in the forest where Ciel guided me.

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

It was a treasure trove of rare medicinal herbs, and I picked a lot of them, losing track of time.

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

About half of the medicinal herbs we picked are dried and used as seasonings.

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

I had planned to sell the remaining herbs at the guild, but I forgot all about it.

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

I was in a hurry because this girl ...... Ivy was here, and I wandered around the woods for about six days before I found the cave."

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

Six days!　That must have been very worrisome.

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

Yeah, I had no idea where he was.

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

You are a good actor, Mr. Druid.

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

So you've been mining for ore in the caves you found?"

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

No way. I'm too scared to go deep into the cave. I spent the night near the entrance and picked up those ores that had fallen near there.

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

You gutted the back of the cave.

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

Ciel guided us in a lot of ways, and Sola and the others were free to explore along the way.

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

I later heard from the druid that the cave is a very dangerous place and absolutely no free time is allowed.

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

I, Sola, and Ciel were all a little surprised by what the druid told us.

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

The druid was drooling when he saw us.

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

'Then how did you get to this village!

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

Mr. Drew begins to get excited again.

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

I'm still a little scared.

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

I found traces of a large animal or demon that had passed near the cave, and I thought it was a last resort, so I followed the traces and found myself halfway between the village of Hatau and the town of Aur. At that time, I was really relieved."

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

Traces?

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

Come to think of it, I heard some adventurers say they found traces of a guardian god.

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

Did you take advantage of that?

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

That's great.

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

Traces from near the cave to the village road, dude.

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

No.

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

Before Mr. Dorough could say anything, Mr. Aziluk stopped him.

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

Mr. Dorough's expression became distorted at that.

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

Why?　There's a chance we could find out where the guardian deities live."

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

This winter is too dangerous. There have already been deaths in this cold."

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

What, dead people?

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

Sure, it's bizarrely cold, isn't it?

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

d*mn, but... The traces might disappear."

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

I don't think there already is. You know that."

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

Mr. Aziluk sighs.

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

No trace?

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

If what Mr. Druid said is true, I don't think the traces have been around long enough to disappear yet.

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

With traces on trees, they can remain for months.

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

Well, the story is false, so there are no traces to begin with.

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

Why do you say there are no traces?　It wouldn't surprise me if they're still there, would it?"

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

The druid seemed to wonder.

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

'Traces of the guardian gods disappear after about two days,' he said.

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

Two days?

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

That's right.

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

I see. Then we were lucky.

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

I suppose so."

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

By the way, can't you buy this ore?"

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

Oh, if it was ore from the guardian god's dwelling, would it be impossible?

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

If so, that's going to throw a wrench in my schedule.

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

I'll buy you out!"　Or rather, if there are still others out there, let me buy them all."

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

At the druid's words, Mr. Drew places his hand on the desk with a bang and assures me.

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

Then he bows his head.

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

Mr. Dorough seems to exaggerate every single action.

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

Well, I have some more.

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

Mr. Druid is a bit taken back by Mr. Drew's power.

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

It's the opposite of what happened earlier.

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

'Thank you,' he said. How much more do you have?　Oh no, it's wonderful to see this ore again!"

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

Mr. Drew's mood was uplifted, and his cheeks were red.

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

'Before I give them to you, could you tell me how much each one is worth?

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

Hmm?"　Ah, let's see. From right to left, each one is 2 radals, 1 radal, 1 radal, and 3 radals."

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

I knew I should have put 2 pieces each instead of 5 pieces each.

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

The amount is 2 radals per yellow ore.

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

One radal for a light blue ore mixed with brown.

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

One radal for each ore with green spots.

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

The ore that looks like a rock at first glance, the cheapest of all, costs 3 radals per piece.

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

There are five of each of all of them, so 35 radals.

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

We reached our goal, and fast.
