Chapter 82 (2/2)
Gilbert retreated to pry his face and escaped fro like that stupid unpleasant potion!”
”I got plenty of freebies froei-ojisan, so please don't hold back and drink it, Aniki!
”I'!”
Harold cornered Gilbert with a lively expression
Looking at the desk, it seemed that there was a written explanation of the potion
I ondering what various things were mixed in, so I read it out loud
”'The main components are horse heart, deer horn, dried scorpion, dried sea serpent, molasses, and the cerebrospinal fluid of a kraken'
Although the redient is the kraken's cerebrospinal fluid, I think it's an effective ingredient to recover froical power, and in addition, this potion was likely to beco tonic
When Gilbert listened to the breakdown of the ging down lots of that strange potion last night!?”
『Is that so? It looks delicious』
”Eh~, isn't it fine, Aniki This is a high-class item that only costs three silver coins, you know~!”
When Harold drew near, Gilbert got up from the chair and ran away
I felt his iron's will to not drink even a single sip
”Oi, oi, oi, please don't bully the pitiful me with that kind of behavior, Botchan”
”Don't force hi my appreciation for his efforts!”
”Ah~, if you have time to bully me, then this will be Botchan's last job!”
”Uh”
Harold was the next to suffer a painful expression this tilass bottle containing purple potion
”Hey, you have to negotiate with Earl Nibelheiht?
It's crucial that you convince the Earl, after all, you can't ht?”
”Uuh”
Speaking of which, we hadn't talked about the story of the matter and the countermeasure plan to the most important party
But, didn't Harold hate to speak directly with his father, the Earl Nibelheim?
”That's true, but, I don't think he will listen to o
It's much better for Aniki to be the one who speaks with him”
”I want to bake the prototype at once
It's not a large dish or a large vase that is intended for collectors……okay, first of all, let's make a common dish like a small plate or teaware
Besides, ht?
You are the trusted son of Earl Nibelhei
If Botchan persuades him, Earl Nibelheim as once calm and cautious, will also move”
When Gilbert said 'trusted son', Harold chewed his lips slightly
I recalled the Nibelheim's strained parent-child relation and the aard air between the with Harold? I'm worried about ill happen”
”Erica, are you sure it's okay?”
”But even if I a”
”No, rather than going alone, just by being there, you will make my mind feel dozens of tirasping at straws, so I so with you』
”No, he ht be suspicious withwho stood up sat back down again from Gilbert's critics
I couldn't deny that he was indeed a bit suspicious-looking
『Huys
You will probably feel reluctant to reconnect with a fareement with you at one time
However, no matter how unpleasant, s of your opponent
It was fortunate that I was able to do it
Since I can never see hi
Because I didn't understand, because he never responded, it was easy to arbitrarily think that he was a good guy, but……it's so's words, not only me and Harold who held our breath but also Gilbert
Perhaps because their situation overlapped with him that he couldn't leave them alone
Because he suffered hundreds of years without knowing the true feelings of those who he greith as families
”Mister……”
『That's it fro off Harold's words, Tirnanog closed his , and nodded fir
”Then, wait a eof the apron and retreated to the back of the workshop
Gilbert was pondering about so, he stood up froranate pattern into the box of white porcelains, and packed it in the bag
Besides the dishes, he put as many as two samples of ore
”A dish and a cobalt oxide sample for the whetstone Give it to Botchan”
”What about Gilbert-san?”
”I……I'myself alone inside the workshop, I will consult the furnace and clay while lanced at Tirnanog
I guessed so's words just nowand nodded deeply
”I will leave Botchan's”
”It will be fine Because he is ht”
Gilbert smiled with a complex expression and nodded a little
He held a few materials and retreated to the back of the workshop
In exchange, Harold who had changed into a noble-like appearance appeared
”Well, let's go Erica To my father
It will be fine We only need to talk about the porcelain in particular, so you don't need to worry about anything”
Harold, as putting on his brave face, urgedrapidly
I was still a little worried, but it was better than nothing at all
For the porcelain industry and for the negotiations that would decide Harold's fate, we headed to Nibelheiht
