Chapter 14. The appearance of the small dragon holding the red jewel in its mouth was quite cute, but no, how much is that jewel...

Blackie who noticed me hesitating said again.[If I eat the jewel, I can also obtain new power.]

“New ability? What kind?”[Making one cup of water or something...]

“One cup of water...” [I can also freeze water in an instant...]

“That can be done by just leaving it outside for one hour.”

Spring is approaching, but how cold the weather is.

What, I thought it was a jackpot pet but was it a total loss.

Give back my expectation.

“Is there no other ability?”

Blackie fidgeted with the jewel in his mouth.

“What did you mean earlier that you can know the weather?”

Blackie lifted his head high.[I'm a spirit beast sensitive to water and cold.]

“Yes?”[Master said earlier. I can know how much rain will fall, how cold it will be. Because that's my domain. But this ability is really useless. Because I still can't control water, or drive a snowstorm...]

Blackie became dejected and lowered his head.

“Useless! It's the ability needed most right now!”

I lifted Blackie and cheered.

No need to worry with a headache!

No need to worry if this year's farming will fail!

Because I have a weather agency now!

“Eat! Blackie, eat!”

As soon as my permission fell, Blackie chewed and ate the red jewel as if it was candy.

“But originally are all spirit beasts raised with jewels?”[No. I'm special. Originally all abilities can be used at the same time as the contract, but I only opened my eyes and am in a sealed state. The jewel is a means to release that seal.]

“Then if I eat a lot of jewels, can I release all the seals?”[No. Only jewels containing a specific energy like the one eating now are possible. Ones with a lot of human filth or desire stuck, or jewels with rare power, things like that.]

“...

Such things would be enormously expensive?”[Probably? Ordinary diamonds are useless even if eaten, but in cases like diamonds that saw a lot of blood entangled in human greed, they help growth.]

“Era, capitalism.”

Aigo, now do I have to raise a pet on top of the insufficient territory.

I did draw a super luxurious pet of lottery winning level, but to have to raise the pet from level 1.

And that with cash.

I stroked Blackie's head and said.

“After eating all that, specifically write on paper what you can do.”

I have to extract at least the jewel price.

Suddenly I became curious how much the jewel Blackie is eating now is.

As expected, should I have asked Naul before feeding...

This guy can earn at least his meal price, right?* * *Still, I succeeded in obtaining a pseudo weather agency.

Because weather is important for farming.

Even if only farming well, it can cover the jewel price Blackie ate.

When I sneakily asked Naul, hearing that the jewel price Blackie ate is 30 million marks, I regretted a bit, a lot, enormously...

Right, what's already eaten can't be undone.

Blackie, hearing the words 30 million marks, watched my expression.

And held a pen and paper with front feet and scribbled something hard in one corner.

Hopefully if Blackie's ability can give me a jackpot product, it would be good.

I immediately called out the agricultural department managers Ron and George.

When I called, the two people came running in a hurry.

“Madam! You called!”

The two people, whether they were fighting hard until I called, had the buttons near the collar torn off.

I cleared my throat and said.

“Ahem. Have both of you thought?”

“I have no more words with this guy!”

“What? That's what I have to say! Talking with a good-for-nothing like you is a waste of time!”

“What does Madam think?”

I knew it would be like that.

Actually the side where the answer doesn't come out was more convenient to persuade.

“Actually I know how to see the weather a bit.”

“Yes? How?”

Right. Unbelievable. I know too.

But I shamelessly pushed forward.

“It's a method of finding out by looking at the sky. I can't know all the weather day by day, but I can roughly know this year's weather. It's a method used on the continent across the sea and starting to spread little by little these days, but it seems the transmission hasn't reached this side well yet.”

“Ah ah.”

The two people nodded understanding.

Right now, it's fortunate that the Valfruga ducal house collapsed so the news is late.

If it was before, I would have been driven out saying don't talk nonsense.

“Still if the two people's opinions matched, I would have to follow there too...”

I looked at the two people in a messed up appearance and asked.

“Both have no intention of yielding, right?”

“Yes!”

“Of course!”

“Good. Then I'll decide. This year will be quite cold. And snow and rain will fall a lot.”

I looked at Ron who had been claiming the Badam tree all along and said.

“So the Badam tree that needs to be warm won't do.”

George who was claiming the Lelong flower saying the weather will be cold smiled triumphantly.

I expected that Ron who had been claiming the Badam tree all along would protest, but unexpectedly he nodded obediently.

“...

Understood. If Madam thinks so, I will also follow.”

Rather than completely believing my words that I know how to see the weather, it was a face tired of fighting among themselves.

“Well, rather it turned out well. Because we can't hold onto this matter until when. If we miss the farming time like this, that's a bigger matter. Since Madam also knows how to see the weather, I'll believe for now.”

“Hahaha! Well, originally the final completion of farming goes with belief and prayer, right. No matter how hard people do their best, variables arise, that's this farming.”

George who was claiming the Lelong flower, whether his mood improved, put his arm around Ron's shoulder.

This and that, the two people's relationship didn't seem truly bad.

“Then what would be good to plant?”

The answer was fast.

“Then as expected I recommend planting the Lelong flower.”

“Lelong flower? What's that?”

“It's one of the native plants that grow in the territory. The roots for medicine, the flowers for magic potions, a flower with nothing to discard, but because the flower has to keep being buried in the snow, it can only be raised in cold and snowy weather. So even in the territory if the weather doesn't match it can't be raised, but correspondingly it also sells expensively.”

“Then planting that will do! Good, this year's farming, let's plant centered on that for now. Still planting only one is dangerous, so if there's remaining space, I hope you also plant other crops strong against cold together.”

“Don't worry.”

“There will be no one in this castle who knows about crops better than us.”

Only then I could spill the original purpose of finding the two people.

“By the way. Since you know well about crops, there's a crop I hope you two find...”

When I diligently described the crop that was popular in the original, the two people asked with a face of it being strange.

“What do you intend to use such a weed for?”

“There's such a thing. Can it be obtained?”

“Don't worry.”

“You must find it.”

Because that's the item that will seat our territory on a money cushion.* * *Ron and George who came out of the office looked back at each other.

George asked Ron.

“I anyway Madam's decision was what I was claiming, but are you really convinced by Madam's decision?”

“If not convinced, what will I do.”

Ron shrugged and said.

“And I came to want to believe Madam once. When first finding out what Frug embezzled, I thought it was coincidence, but the success in the deal with the Leholas Marquess also can't be thought as coincidence.”

“The appearance is so lovely yet the work handling is full of backbone.”

“Since you came from the orphanage, I never thought it would be such a person.”

“Haha. That's so.”

“Since it's a problem where even if you and I debate for several days the answer doesn't come out, at times like this entrusting to the sky, no, our lucky charm Madam's will might also be good.”

“You finally got a bit of flexibility too?”

Ron retorted bluntly.

“Then what will I do. Even this hallway being warm now is Madam's merit.”

“Right, right.”

George who was giggling stopped the laughter and turned his gaze beyond the castle and said.

“This is a bit embarrassing words but... I have this thought these days.”

“What thought?”

“If it's Madam, won't she cut off this tiresome poverty of our family... Won't she return the once brilliant ducal house to us, that thought.”

“Hey...”

The two people's eyes became moist.

Even for them, there was no way it was good that the territory they were born and raised in was poor.

“Come, since the answer came out, let's go work! Do you know how much work is piled up from us two fighting!”

“Yes! We also have to raise the Lelong flower well and leave even a name saying we revived our territory!”

“Also obtain what Madam said!”

“Yes yes!”

The two people returned to their workplace with fast steps as if competing with each other.* * *Having sent out the agricultural department managers, I received the paper Blackie wrote.

The handwriting was crooked, but not to the point of not being able to recognize.

“Let's see, what our Blackie can do now... Making one cup of water, freezing water in an instant. Yeah, this isn't needed now so skip...”

Our Blackie... have to raise a lot...

At my distant gaze, Blackie immediately protested.[But I can block any attack.]

“For that, how many seals do I have to release?”[...

About ten?]

I smiled without saying anything.

“What does this mean? Knowing everything about water?”[It's literally. I know everything about water.]

I tilted my head not understanding Blackie's words.

Blackie said fumblingly.[To me they are too natural things so I don't know how to explain. I'm the spirit beast of water. Being able to make rain fall as Master wants, or knowing the weather is all because I'm the spirit beast of water. Master. Do you know that the falling rain is also different every day?]
