chapter 22
Chapter 22 Working at a new party
I watched Alexia for several days. Her eyes were a little defiant, but her usual fierce rebellion was gone.
I paid for all food, clothing, and shelter. Eating three meals a day is the same, but it seems that he was greatly moved by taking a bath every day.
In the empire, there was no culture of bathing every day.
It is said that poor nobles often wipe themselves with a damp cloth because water resources are scarce compared to the kingdom and magic stones are not easily produced.
It was a luxury to heat water with burning stones.
But, of course, young Alexia couldn’t stand it, so she heated herself up and took a bath.
She said that of course she couldn’t do it every day because it takes a lot of magical power to make and boil that much water by herself.
I ordered Alexia to replenish her mana with magic stones of fire and water instead of bathing every day.
Rather than an order, perhaps for her sake, she obediently followed her instructions.
Now you don’t have to spend money to replenish magic stones. That’s a big savings.
Suzy doesn’t fit at all… What is this, because it’s a bonus.
Instead, they requested something like a skin.
Elsa agreed, and she decided to buy a woman’s essentials.
You should think of it as an expense necessary for product management.
Isn’t it fortunate that I can get it at a purchase price thanks to a tool shop?
The ingredients are said to be made by mixing herbs, alcohol, and mineral water.
If I work with an alchemist to create something new, will it sell?
All you have to do is ask them to get the ingredients.
When a popular product was brought, Alexia grumbled but accepted it with a happy expression. She also taught Azu how to use cosmetics.
Elsa seems to be in a good mood too, it seems to be something that girls like.
Take good care of the rest.
Certainly, the three slaves look very different after that.
If you dress well, everyone will look like a young lady from a good family.
A battle dress also arrived, and I put it on Alexia.
Light blue dress based.
He made me change clothes in front of me on purpose.
As expected, I was embarrassed and grumbled, but I had the right to decide.
Perhaps it was because of taking care of her skin after taking a bath, she became much prettier.
Her light blue dress made Alexia’s long red hair stand out even more.
There’s no chance of that, but
If you take them to the social scene, they will definitely attract attention, right?
The choice of weapon was difficult.
Alexia is a mage, but she can also be used as a knight.
She’s just too lazy to hold her wand.
The number of people in the party is 3. There is also a financial problem, so I have no plans to increase the number of people.
Having a lieutenant rather than a rearguard would have better balance.
When she was originally asked what kind of weapon she used, Alexia replied that she was a magic sword.
Is a noble a noble even though he is poor?
The sword Grungaus used by Az is also classified as a magic sword. It’s a high rank, so it’s like being treated like a magic sword.
The magic sword that Alexia used is far inferior to the Bongsword Grungauss, but it is also difficult to obtain.
Strategically, it’s best to give Azu’s weapon to Alexia. But letting Arzu use the sword is a kind of message of trust.
She eventually handed her the steel ax she wanted. As a mage, a brooch seems to be sufficient as an auxiliary item.
I was surprised when I actually put a brooch on Alexia.
It was as if I was like, ‘Something like a tool shop bought me and has a brooch like this.’
I was slapped on the butt without saying anything.
I rolled over in pain. I tried to avoid the face, but it worked well.
It has a frail appearance, but it has no problem using weapons.
It seems to be able to support strength with magic.
I thought mages were all-rounders, but they say that trained warriors are much stronger.
Come to think of it, the strongest adventurer on the continent was not a mage, but a warrior.
For now, the preparations to send them out are over.
Azu is the leader. Because she is the most loyal.
It is out of the question to entrust Alexia as the leader. When you talk, there are cultures accumulated through the education of the nobility, but there is also a lesser side.
When my emotions got a little intense, I couldn’t stand it and rebelled, so I punished myself.
As a test, I had a mock battle with Az, and Alexia won all of them.
Although Ars moves at a tremendous speed, it was handled with minimal movement. She was really great
However, the more she fought, the more Azuga got used to Alexia’s movements, so even from an amateur’s point of view, there were many regrettable parts.
Alexia said Az was stronger than her regular soldiers and had a good sense of humor.
I thought this would be enough, so I decided to send them to the labyrinth.
Intermediate Labyrinth would be nice.
After lunch, the three slaves were called into the room.
(Alexia ate the most. He ate more than Az. This noble guy…)
“I have to do some work now. Didn’t you take a nap at three o’clock and take a good rest?”
Alexia has a puzzled look on her face, probably because she ate twice as much as anyone else.
I think it’s an advantage to act shamelessly again soon.
I pointed to a labyrinth on the map.
And I prepared some quests that could be solved in that labyrinth.
Seeing that, Alexia opened her mouth.
“Searching for an adventurer who has not returned? Up to this… ?”
“If she is dead, bring her hair. Even a side quest like this is pretty good.”
“Other than that… There are many requests to deliver ornaments in the labyrinth.”
“In this labyrinth, you can get high-quality silver ore. You can get enough from the treasure chest without digging.”
Alexia looks at me over her referral.
She seemed to want to say something, so she pressed on.
“What is a treasure chest? I know the labyrinth, but if there was such a thing, I think she would have already disappeared.”
“I’d like to say I don’t know, but they say treasure chests periodically appear to attract humans. They want to prey on humans.”
“Ugh… I really hate it. I’ll go. I’m leaving, so please don’t raise your hand like that.”
Alexia was convinced before I stood up.
This labyrinth is famous for rare items.
Instead, you can get silver ore and earn a stable income, and it is said that sometimes gold or white silver comes out in small amounts.
I also obtained information that the boss of the labyrinth is a lizard that eats ore and is weak to magic.
This should be enough to attack.
If there are only 3 people, I think we can bring enough supplies.
The next morning, I saw the three slaves off.
