Chapter 268 (2/2)

“Dragon meat~”

However, Allen and Elena’s expressions suddenly got a little dejected .

Indeed, Rebecca-san spoke about dragon meat when she left the capital…

“We, unfortunately, did not come across any dragons, so we couldn’t procure the meat . ”

“Fufu, that is unfortunate . But it cannot be helped if you didn’t encounter any . I will be always looking forward to it . ”

“”Will do my best!””

Rebecca-san wasn’t serious, but the kids were very serious . Looks like we will go on a serious dragon hunt when we encounter one .

“”Also~ we have yellow butterflies~””

“Yellow butterflies? Eh, are you perhaps talking about Yellow Butterfly flowers? Those that bloom in the sea…?”

“Yes, those very Yellow Butterfly flowers . ”

“My, oh my! I heard that it’s quite difficult to find Yellow Butterfly flowers, but it seems to be an easy task for you guys~”

“Allen and Elena found them and worked hard to collect many . ”

“”Found lots!””

“My, my, but you worked so hard to gather them, so why don’t you sell them and buy lots of stuff you guys want instead?”

Thinking that it wouldn’t be good of her to receive something so rare, Rebecca-san suggested selling the Yellow Butterfly flowers instead .

“”… You don’t want?””

Instantly, Allen and Elena looked sad .

“My, my, don’t misunderstand me, Allen-chan, Elena-chan . It’s not that I don’t want it, I just thought it would be wasteful for me to get them because they are so valuable . ”

“”Is not wasteful!!””

Rebecca-san explained in a hurry, but Allen and Elena were hurt by her words instead .

“Gee~ you guys are so cute! Fufu, thank you . Well then, I will accept your offer, so could I have a flower?”

“A flower?”

“Only one?”

“Yes, that’s right . We can do lots with one flower . ”

“”Is that so?””

I don’t know how Yellow Butterfly flowers are used, but I’m sure they will be either extracted or made into powder and then processed into beauty products, so I guess you can make a good amount from one flower .

“Well, we won’t be selling all the remaining flowers, so please let me know if you need more . ”

“Fufu, thank you, Takumi-san . ”

We have many Yellow Butterfly flowers, after all . I wouldn’t sell everything even by a mistake .

“We also know precisely where the flowers grow, so we can go gather them again if necessary . ”

“”Will get them!””

“My, oh my, how reliable you are~”

I remember where the cluster was . I’m sure they will regrow after some time, so we can just go get more when needed . Even if there are no Yellow Butterfly flowers blooming in that spot, I’m sure we will find more if we look around .

“What else could be considered a souvenir…”

“Fish~”

“Ebi~”

“Ah, right . We have a lot of fresh fish and fruit to give you . ”

“”Sparkly~””

“Sparkly? Erm… you mean the crystals? The ones you picked up in the Kelm mines?”

“Red . ”

“Big one . ”

“Red and big one . And sparkly… ahh, the ruby!”

The kids mean the ruby ore they dug up in Kelm’s mines . I have no use for it myself, and it’s a bit too early for Elena to make use of it .

“Wait a moment, Takumi-san . I am happy to receive fish and fruits, but as expected, I cannot accept crystals and rubies . ”

“I’d like to help you financially, can’t I?”

“My, oh my, you are saying something sweet~ But, I can’t accept it . I mean, you are already supporting me enough . ”

I know that it’s a very expensive item to buy and sell . But we get most of stuff on our own, so we don’t have to worry about money . Well, it’s something that’s slightly tickling the boundaries of common sense, so it can’t be helped~

“That’s too bad . Allen, Elena, let’s use the gems on another occassion . ”

“”Another occasion?””

“Like a birthday or gift for some kind of celebration . ”

“”Got it! Let’s do that!””

Next time, we won’t mention the name of the object . I’ll make sure to pack it well and let the recipient receive it without knowing what it is .
