Act 3: Chapter 12: A-rank Item

TN: Check out my new project too! The Replacement for Suicidal Undead catches up with the raw.

?Gannet-san, I bring something that might be able to be sold for a large amount of money but, can I ask your help to appraise it first??

I began to talk to gannet.

Naturally, we’re going to talk about ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet?.

I didn’t want to cause too much trouble for Gannet and didn’t want to borrow money from him either.

Thus, if there was something that he would buy, ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet? was the best choice, so let’s sell some of the stockpiles in my hand.

?Hou…? So what’s the name of the goods??

??Yggdrasil’s Droplet?.?

Gannet was looking at me with a dumbfounded look on his face the moment he heard my answer.

?What…! It should be impossible to get such an item without a contract with a high-rank spirit. So the story about Pomera-dono using a gigantic spirit was real after all.?

Pomera who stood beside me made a complicated look on her face upon hearing that.

… Maybe Gannet was referring to the story about Philia conjuring Progenitor Dragon with her ?Dream Sand?.

?Excelling at close combat, white magic, and then spirit magic. Good gracious, you’re a such an amazing person, Pomera-dono.?

Gannet nodded as he said such praise to Pomera.

?Yes… Thank you? said Pomera with eyes that resembling that of dead fish.

??Yggdrasil’s Droplet? is a precious item, right??

I mean, even someone like Gannet had a hard time looking for ?Jade Dragon’s Eye?, which is only a B-rank item.

Since ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet? was an A-rank item, it was supposed to be a valuable item but, honestly, I couldn’t be so sure about it.

?Yeah, it’s a precious item. Reason is that only high-rank spirits residing in the Yggdrasil of the spirit world can obtain ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet?. Contract with them aside, emotional bond with the denizen of the spirit world, and the ability to negotiate for ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet? itself is a really tough process. And Pomera-dono… can actually achieve such feat at a very young age. She must be loved by spirit, no, by the world itself. Naturally, she also has such a wonderful disposition.?

Gannet spoke as he smiled at Pomera.

?… T-Thank you.?

And Pomera accepted with a complex look on her face.

Now I replayed the memories of Urzottle lying belly up in my head.

?To begin with, ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet? has high healing properties. And the demand for it keeps increasing along with age and continuous advancement of alchemy. Thus, the spirit king strictly ordered the high-rank spirit to not give ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet? so easily to their contractor. That’s why the high-rank spirit has always been extremely cautious when it comes to that matter. Naturally, I’m more than willing to buy it.?

I see now, no wonder it became so precious.

Thus, I take out a big bag made from cloth from my magic pouch.

It was part of ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet? that I got from Urzottle.

I got around 3 litres.

And I set aside small parts of it in a milk container to sell it.

?Uhm, and that is??

Gannet tilted his head in confusion as he asked the question.

?This is the item.?

?The… Item??

Gannet frowned as he asked.

?Eh? I mean, this is the ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet?.?

?Uhm, so it’s filled with ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet???

?Yes!?

I nodded in agreement.

Now Gannet tilted his head to another side.

As f he finally snapped out, his eyes and mouth opened wide a few seconds later and he fell in his chair.

?Hang in there, Gannet-san!?

?A-A-Are you telling me that container is filled to the brim with ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet?!? T-That’s too unbelievable…?

Gannet was pointing at the ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet? with a trembling hand.

?Calm down. What is so surprising about it??

?Yggdrasil’s Droplet? should be the kind of item that could be acquired by any summoner.

Gannet himself said so after all.

That’s why I had no idea why he was so surprised when I showed the real thing to him.

?K-Kanata-dono, a long time ago, I’ve met a spirit user who owned over level 100 spirits. Even then, all they get after a long and painful effort is one glass of ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet?. Even that much is bought for more than eight million gold and yet…?

At that moment, I looked toward the water container in my hand.

This… is only a small part of what I got from Urzottle though.

?You’re not… diluting it with water, right? Though it sound rude coming from me, gathering this much alone is enough to warrant the spirit as someone who disobey the order from the spirit king. Pomera-dono… Just who in the world you’re making a contract with??

Gannet spoke with a nervous look on his face.

… Even level 400 Lily was an existence that could destroy this country.

What kind of existence Urzottle whose level above 2000 then?

It was a level in which they could kill Demon King Mother with their sneeze.

Suddenly, the scene of a huge blue dog whose fur resembled the colour of the sky rolled on the ground while waving their two tails.

Urzottle, you… Turned out to be such an amazing fella.

Maybe I shouldn’t bring this much.

?C-Can I take a look for a moment??

?Ah, sure.?

Gannet sniffed the smell of ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet?.

?Yeah, this is a genuine article, but… but…!?

?If it takes some time to appraise it, I can lend it to you for a while.?

?Please don’t take this matter lightly, kanata-dono! Moreover, even ?Mithril’s Cane? won’t be able to buy this much in my opinion alone… Well, ?Mithril’s Cane? also want to buy it even if it is just by one drop but… I’ve never expected that we will get so many at once.?

Gannet groaned for a while after that, looking at ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet? with bloodshot eyes.

?We’ve no problem even if you buy part of this below the price market.?

I mean, Urzottle literally gave too much of this.

Thus I wouldn’t hesitate to sell part of it to buy the ingredients that I was lacking.

?L.. Let’s set the matter of this ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet? being real or fake for the time being, may I ask your permission to appraise the item? Meanwhile, I’ll take the responsibility of gathering the ingredients in the list for you.?

?Thank you, I can’t ask for a better offer.?

At that moment, there was a knocking sound from the door of the parlour room.

Gannet shifted his attention to the door.

?What’s the matter!? I’m in an important meeting right no—?

?Gannet-sama, Kotone-san is coming for a visit! Things will get really bad if we don’t make preparation soon!?

It seems the caller was the staff of the guild.

Gannet got flustered the moment he heard Kotone’s name.

Gannet did say that he was really busy today.

?Sorry for taking up your time during your busy schedule, Gannet-san. We shall take our leave.?

?M-My apologies for the inconvenience this time…?

But, I was really surprised when Kotone’s name came out of nowhere.

The one who was supposed to come was the messenger from the royal capital and yet…

Did Kotone by chance, had also been involved in this matter?

… And this matter was definitely unrelated to her manga.
