?We will be heading back to Wulls now. I am looking forward to meeting all of you again.?

?Indeed, please look after the sisters.?

?Of course, we will do everything in our power to keep them safe.?

As Hiroshi and others came our of the Igreos temple, Aearis informed them that they will be heading back to Farlane first. To the incredibly busy day they had so far, Hiroshi could only respond with a difficult expression.

?So ya really in hurry.?

?I was required to return to Wulls once I have finished my business at Igreod temple anyway. I apologize for not being able to provide as much help due to myself being under a disguise. However, I am certain you will have some business in Wulls soon so please allow me to show my hospitality then.?

?I see, are ya goin’ back on a chariot? Thought ya’ll Golem chariots were crashed??

?As long as the locations are memorised, the teleportation magic we use can teleport us from one end of the continent to another. Regarding our chariot … well, there is nothing we can do about it. So, we have decided to re-make them. I deeply apologize for causing so much burden to this nation due to my own selfishness…?

?That wasn’t ya fault so don’ worry ‘bout it. If ya want, as lon’ as ya make an order, I could make ya’ll a chariot that’s more study, convenient n’ even with a built-in defence system? I’ll give ya a discount as a friend.?

?Are you sure??

To Hiroshi’s words, Aearis asked with shining eyes. She has never said it out loud before, but she has always been envious of the van Hiroshi’s group used.

?Welp, we’re goin’ back to Wulls soon so it’ll hafta wait until we’re back though.?

?Of course, that is fine. I would love to order the chariots.?

Although it was merely an exchange of words, a contract which cannot be dismissed was formed. Then, the Queen who was listening in to this conversation cut in as if to take advantage of the situation.

?I would like to order one as well. However, with the relationship we have, I guess it would not be that easy, is it??

?To put ‘t bluntly, ya ‘ight. I believe we don’ have ‘nough trust towards each other for me to leave this may products in tis country.?

?As I thought. However, I would regret dismissing all the help you will be able to provide this country. So, as a reward for helping this incident, I shall gift your party the temporary workshop you have in Darl on behalf of the royal family. Also, similarly to Ortem village, we allow you to make a teleportation circle from your main workshop in Wulls. I have contacted King Regnas yesterday and have gotten his permission.?

?Welp, if we can do dat, ‘t would be very helpful. But are ya sure we’re allowed to do somethin’ like that??

?If something was to happen in Darl, it would benefit me to have an escape route to a neighbouring country. On top of that, there were few favours which I wanted to ask you. Considering all of that, I think it would benefit both of us to have a teleportation circle between your main workshop and the workshop here.?

Hiroshi only got a bad feeling when the Queen mentioned that she had few favours which she wanted to request them. Help from the royal family is very much appreciated. However, if they were to step into their favours too much, it will only lead them towards more trouble.

?Welp, ‘t would depend on what kinda favours ya wanna ask.?

?Well, at this very moment, there are two favours which I would absolutely want to ask your party. The first one is I would like you to build a teleportation circle for us to excavate fossils. The second one, well, this request from both the nation and the temple. I would like you to teach the trainees at the temple on how to make the water production item.?

Hiroshi’s face twisted as he heard the large-scale favours. The context of those favours was not too difficult. In fact, he had no issue with making a teleportation circle to the fossils. But the problem was teaching trainees how to make a water production item.

? … welp, I was thinkin’ o’ teachin’ my apprentices in Wulls how to craft magical items. So, the idea o’ teachin’ the trainees isn’t a problem. But…?

?Even if it is a request by the temple and the royal family, it is a difficult request for a small business to be accepting. I am sure you understand our concerns regarding water rights.?

Haruna bluntly said the words which Hiroshi was afraid to speak out. To Haruna’s words, the Queen showed a bitter smile.

?As expected that was your concerns.?

?Well, I don’t think there is anything else we should be worried about.?

The Queen once again gave a bitter smile to Haruna’s words which she could not disagree with. Even if they were to mention royal purveyor, the favour which the Queen was asking was very specific; it could easily cause a conflict over water rights. That aside, teleportation circle is something normal people can’t easily craft multiples of. So, it was odd to think that there were people making their living out of building them.

?Just for a reference, if you were to teach the trainees, how long will it take until they are capable of crafting the water production item? Also, assuming that we have plenty of materials, how long would it take for them to make one??

?Welp, I would hafta start from basic enchant so ‘t’ll take ‘t least two months before they can craft any magical item. If we’re talkin’ ‘bout the water production item, ‘t’ll take ‘t least six months before they can craft the simplest one. At first, ‘t would take ‘bout a month for em to craft the water production item.?

?What would be the amount of water the item can produce in one day??

?If tis the simplest one, with average purson’s magical energy, they should be able to produce ‘bout two cups o’ water.?

?If that is the case, there is nothing to worry about. Even if we were to train 10 trainees to craft that item, and they develop their skill so they can craft the item faster, the most we can craft would be 20 in a month. The most impact that would create is Darl finally meeting its water Demands and reducing the cost of water bills. If we have any excess water, we will just send those water to the desert.?

?I see…?

Even the Queen did not want the water rights to be against her. Her aim seems to be weakening the control that the neighbouring country has on Darl by slowly implementing policies and slowly solving the issues surrounding water security.

?Welp, if ya accept those conditions, I’ll take on those favours. Either way, I don’ think ya goin’ to take “no” for an answer.?

?My apologizes.?

Aearis who was listening in to their conversation saw that general conditions have been settled and brought back their original conversation.

?If you excuse me, I would like to bring back my request. The Golem chariot, I will write out an order as soon as I have returned home. Thank you very much for your help.?

?Nah problem, but I have teleportation circle n’ other stuff I need to do first so t’ll take some time till I’m back in Wulls.?

?Of course, until then, I shall talk with grandfather Doul on what kind of chariot we would like. Oh, and Queen Misheila,?

?What is it??

?Do you mind if we use the underground ruins without permission from Darl??

?If it is the princess priestess and the elf one, there is no problem. Octogals…. well I guess there is no way I can ban them can I??

Artiem looked down apologetically as she could not cut into a conversation between authority figures. To such sight, the Queen and Aearis spoke.

?Well then, I really should be heading off now.?

?Of course, I apologize for dragging you into this burden.?

?Please do not worry yourselves over it. Well then, we shall be heading our way now.?

She shook the Queen’s hand with a smile and returned to Wulls with teleportation magic. The moment they were about to be teleported, Judith looked at Hiroshi with a refreshed look and bowed. As Hiroshi said farewell with that sight engraved into his mind, they headed back to Darl using teleportation stone to sort out where to build the teleportation circle. Like this, the matter which placed Darl under great fear came to an end.
