We were running through the Crucible Street at dusk
Just as the last chi and I arrived at Turm Wand Store
It was to meet Gilbert, not Harold
The other person who noticed cobalt oxide was said to be Gilbert
It was difficult to say whether or not he was going to be inside the wand store, but it was better than looking for hin of a customer
The store owner doesn't seen of the redheaded brat』
”That's rather convenient”
Even when I went inside the store, no one ca around, Harold was polishi+ng the shelves quietly with an almost dead facial expression
He shouldn't have to clean anything at times like this
No, perhaps it wasso
”Harold, are you okay?”
”Ah……? Aa, Erica, welcome
What is it? Have you found a wand that match your taste?”
”You don't seem to be fine Unfortunately, we're not here as a customer”
『Is Gilbert in the back?』
”Aniki? Aa, Aniki ca todifficult that he couldn't afford to fail, so right now he's shutting himself inside the storehouse, but……”
After all, it was as we expected
When I exchanged looks with Tirnanog, he nodded
”Harold, this is soether, okay?”
『Even if you say no I will force you to come with us』
”Eh, ah, wait……, the store! There is onlythe store!”
”We are your only custoht?”
”T-that's true, but! Aah, jeez, let
We let hio to lock the store, then we headed to the storehouse in the back of the store
”Yo, everyone, what's the matter?”
Gilbert seemed to have just completed the preparation, and was about to clear up the alchelanced at a container placed on the desk
Gilbert concealed the container in his bag
Again, Gilbert see, so somehow it felt like that
In a sense, it could be said that we met him just in time
It would be difficult to meet hi rolled an indigo blue glass bead on the table
Gilbert reached for it with a relieved expression
Tirnanog's hand caught his stretched hand with a lightning-quick nize it at a glance』
”We co and I pressed hihed
”Hahaha, you caught ht that I would be able to evade questions until the prototype was completed
Not only you are aware of the identity of the s in just a few hours
As expected frohter of the head of the alchemists You cannot be htfully
No, no, it was because my friend was a phantoirl
But I couldn't say that
”W-wait, what are you talking about! Are you leaving me out of loop?”
Wait, wait, Harold Let's explain it in order I will let Gilbert explain it
”Mister, so you're leaving it all to me”
Gilbert sain
When he put the container in his bag back to the table, Tirnanog released his hand
Gilbert breathed a sigh while gazing at the glass bead through the light of the la”
”Is it a blue glass? It's certainly rare to see such a thing
What's up with this glass?”
”This was made of the waste inside the barrel that was kicked off by Botchan”
『To be exact, I lass itself』
”Hee……?”
”This is a rather rare metal on this continent called cobalt oxide
Far from a waste, it seeht”
”E, eeeehhhhh—!?”
Harold cried out with his eyes wide open
He had to be surprised because what he thought was just a waste turned into treasure
”That……what a coincidence”
”Indeed, it's an a coincidence
Surely the proportion of themethod of Earl Nibelheim have successfully meshed”
”You ain even the loss of fraud!?”
”I wonder about that”
”Well, I think so That's why I couldn't say it”
Harold who recovered from his shock raised a voice full of joy
Gilbert and I shrugged and exchanged glances
”It's not about how much you can sell, the problem is how to sell it
For exalass, there is only a limited demand
If you sell it to the temples, churches, and part of the aristocrats and merchants, the consumption will reach the limit”
”If they know that cobalt oxide can beas the silver ore in the northwest part withers, its value will be lower than it is currently”
”No way……”
”You shouldn't sell the cobalt oxide itself, but the added value born by it
Just as how the Nibelheih-purity silver, but a high-quality silverware”
”Hahaha, you are just a kid but you know it properly, Ojou-san
That's why I also thought that I want to pitch in and help er brother”
『After all, what kind of person are you, Gilbert
You are not just an ordinary youngest child of a wealthy merchant』
”I'd like to return those words to 's pointed question
”I originally had no purpose and didn't collect sic because I orried whether harmful substances were mixed, I discovered it by chance
But ic
You are not just an ordinary escort of a duke's daughter”
