Chapter 493: Will She be Okay After This? (1/2)

After finding out that Sieg-san's Rainbow Dragon can instantly create jewels that would normally take a year to produce, we hurriedly left the lottery venue.

Thanks to Magnawell-san's restraint, no one tried to mess with us, but we were still uncomfortable with all the attention.

As expected, there was no one chasing us because of what Magnawell-san said.

Then, at a plaza located at a reasonable distance from the lottery venue, we resumed our conversation about the Rainbow Dragon.

[So, Dr. Vier. Does that Rainbow Dragon really have the power to create as many jewels as it wants?]

[Hmmm, I think so. It can create a jewel at such a high speed after all. How about we try asking her to make another one?]

[……I see, then, Sieg-san.]

After exchanging words with serious expressions on our faces, I turned towards Sieg-san, planning to ask Sieg-san to try asking the Rainbow Dragon for us.

[……Is it good? Eat well and you'll grow up.]

[………………..]

[I wonder what I should name you? I can't choose~~]

[……Come now, Sieg. I understand that your pet is so cute that you couldn't take your attention away, but I'd like it if you listen to us now.]

[Wha!? I- I'm sorry, I just…….]

Sieg-san, who had a big smile on her face while feeding the Rainbow Dragon, came back to her senses when she heard Lilia-san's voice.

Unnn, she had always wanted to have a pet after all…… The animal-loving Sieg-san probably couldn't hold back the happiness she's feeling. Even as she replied to Lilia-san, one of her hands kept on stroking the Rainbow Dragon's head……

[……Haahhh…… Anyway, Sieg. We need to verify something, so please ask that child if she could make that jewel again.]

[I understand…… Errr, can you make something like this again?]

[………………..]

Following Lilia-san's request, Sieg-san crouched down in front of the Rainbow Dragon and gently asked. Just like before, the Rainbow Dragon didn't let out a cry but…… After nodding once, she started to create a black jewel on her tail again.

It seems like the Rainbow Dragon really has the special ability to create black jewels at will, just as Dr. Vier had thought.

Sieg-san takes the jewel from the Rainbow Dragon and hands it to Lilia-san. Receiving the jewel, Lilia-san stared at the jewel from various angles.

[……My Lady, what do you think would be its approximate value?]

[……No, I'm sure that it's a great piece of jewelry but……]

Hearing Luna-san's words, Lilia-san took her gaze off the jewel and shook her head. Even though Lilia-san is a noble, she wouldn't know the value of a jewel that is first discovered in the world.

[Hmmm…… Alice, you there?]

[Yes, yes, you want me to examine that jewel?]

[Unnn, I'm counting on you.]

To be honest, I don't know much about jewelry either, so after seeing that Dr. Vier and Neun-san looked like they were having difficulty judging it themselves…… I decided to consult the knowledgeable Alice.

Receiving the jewel from Lilia-san, Alice lightly tapped it with her fingers, seemingly checking its texture.
