“Eliana!”
“Deek? Mmm!” As soon as I saw Eliana, I couldn’t help embracing and kissing her.
She was the mother of one of my children, and while it was only just barely starting to show, to me it had been months since I had last seen her. I was a little surprised that there was only the slightest of bumps which I could only feel when I put my hand on her stomach.
“Ahhh… Deek… you’re being so affectionate…” Eliana blushed as I felt her stomach.
“Deek! You came just in time. I finally managed to find you a potion that will permanently change your gender back to a man.” Prince Edward declared, pulling an item from his storage ring and handing it to me.
I took it, looked at it for a moment, sneered, and then dropped it on the floor.
“Ah!” Eliana cried out.
“D-Deek!” Prince Edward’s eyes widened.
“We need to talk,” I said, smashing the potion under my heel.
A few minutes later, I had explained the basic gist of the situation. Prince Edward, although he often acted like a fool, was actually an extremely thoughtful man. When he was thinking, he put his hand on his chin and nodded. It was anyone’s guess what things that went through his head, but he caught basically everything.
“So…” he said after I had finished telling my story. “What you’re saying is there was no reason to smash that expensive potion I went to a lot of effort to get!”
“Geh! I mean… it allowed that imposter to continue to look like me.”
“True… but I could have just put it in the treasury, or even sold it. Just because I wasn’t going to give it to him didn’t mean it was best being smashed on my floor!”
I scratched my head awkwardly. It hadn’t been an impulsive action on my point. I had already considered cutting off his supply of gender bender potions. It stood to reason that the girls wouldn’t stand indefinitely by him as long as he looked like a girl and that by preventing him from changing, it’d further divide the line between her and me in their minds. That’s also why I decided to refer to her as Deedee as well. I was Deek, and Deedee was a female imposter who tried to steal my life.
“I see… in which case… please take this as a compensation for my poor judgment.” I pulled something from my inventory and handed it to him.
With Blue Mage, my inventory was expanding every day. At this point, it was nearly the size of a small car. I wondered how much space it would have once I reached level 50.
“Hmm? What’s this?”
“It’s a bit complicated, but I have recently traveled to distant places, and I was able to acquire a lot of interesting and rare things. These are seeds for fruits and vegetables from my world. While yours are nice because they are magically enhanced, they use something called genetic modification to grow larger and fuller. If the two were combined, I’m curious about the results. Anyway, from what I understand, these seeds are sterile and you won’t be able to grow more plants. If they turn out to be desirable, the only source of seeds will be me. It’s something like that.”
Aberis was seriously lacking in the food department. Most farming was just wheat and grain, and most of their meals were nasty mush. Most meat came from dungeons since surface monsters were too much for a normal hunter to handle. Since I stopped by Earth, my natural desire was to increase the level of fruits and vegetables available in Aberis. One of the reasons I grabbed Faeyna was to use her to create recipes. The current me found these kinds of actions tedious these days, but she seemed to like cooking.
“S-seeds….” He opened up a box filled with little baggies filled with various seeds.
“I-is that not acceptable?” I worried over his hesitation as he stared at the box.
“It is… this… if these seeds produce exotic foods, then you should keep them for Chalm. If you turn the Wilderness into farmland, it could become a major export.” He said.
“I intend to. Honestly, if you grow them, you’d be doing me a favor. As I said, you won’t be able to grow more, and you can help me test their growth potential on your market and in your fields.”
This was something I had decided to do already in advance.
“I see… then I will accept them.” He nodded. “In that case, let’s discuss what you came here for. You’re looking for an army, right?”
