Act 3: Chapter 2: Wishing For A Droplet

「W-W-W-W-What should I do now... K-Kanata-shaan...」

I had a meeting with Pomera in the rest area of the adventurer’s guild building.

There were bags filled with money placed on top of the desk.

Color drained from Pomera’s face as she looked at those bags.

Philia, who sat by my side, was looking at those bags with gleaming eyes.

「Kanata, Kanata! Can we buy as many sweets as we want if we have this?」

It seems this was the remuneration from the adventurer’s guild for subjugating the youngest daughter, Lily.

「It just a little but please accept this, Saint Fist-sama...」 said the staff as she handed the bags to Pomera.

Since the guild mobilized a lot of adventurers during the previous ragno outbreak, their side seems to have had a hard time counting the remunerations.

Their remunerations alone were enough to cause an economic impact in Manarak.

Nevertheless, they still gave us a total amount of forty million gold.

And considering the fact that we received 10 million gold from Gannet of 《Mithril’s Cane》 just by participating, we’d gained a whopping amount of fifty million gold.

That much of money was starting to numb my common sense about money.

The adventurers around us were pointing at us while whispering amongst themselves.

Thus I decided to stow the money away in my magic pouch for the time being.

「... Was Lily really that powerful?」

Though the guild’s staff and adventurers were still investigating this event, the youngest daughter, Lily, who raided the city was regarded as the demon king for now.

Thanks to that the amount of the remuneration had literally shot through the roof.

But, that factor alone shouldn’t increase the amount of the money this much.

「Maybe, Lily’s level was over 400... Who knows what would’ve happened to Manarak if not for Philia-chan...」

Pomera explained with a trembling voice.

I touched my chin as I pondered over it.

Level 400 means that Lily was... twice as strong as Lovis, fourteen times stronger than Octavio, and a quarter as strong as Philia, right?

I guess I had to confirm something here.

「That sounds... powerful, right?」

I decided to reply with such vague remark.

Level 200 alone was far from enough to allow her to survive incidents such as this one. And since I’m accompanying Pomera, I had a duty to raise her level as fast as possible.

「Philia doesn’t mind even if she can’t buy all the sweets! Philia will give all of the money to Kanata!!」

I had never expected that I would receive forty million gold from a little girl.

「... Thank you, Philia-chan. I won’t waste any of it.」

If we could get forty million just by defeating Lily, gathering funds would be much easier if something like this happened again in the future.

Since it would be too conspicious if the level of the opponent was too high, I should aim for those around Lily’s level, but...

「What are you going to do with all that money, Kanata-san?」

「It’s the funds to raise your level, Pomera-san. We have to mass produce 《Ether》 as soon as possible so that we can restart the leveling against the mirror’s devils.」

Color drained from Pomera’s face the moment she heard my remark.

「Come to think of it, you did mention that matter before... A-Are we really... going to do that again?」

「T-That’s my original plan to begin with, but... are you opposed to this plan?」

Pomera clutched her big cane with an anxious look on her face, her lips tightened.

「P... Please proceed with the plan, Kanata-san! Pomera knows the best that she’s still far too weak to stay by Kanata-san’s side, so Pomera will do her best!」

「Great! By the way, let’s aim for level 1000.」

「T-Thousand... Y-Yes, Pomera will do her best to reach that level!」

The important ingredients needed to manufacture 《Ether》 were 《Brain of a High-Rank Devil》, 《Adamant Ore》, and 《Yggdrasil’s Droplet》.

《Brain of a High-Rank Devil》 could be farmed infinetely in the cursed mirror. That was the easiest one to get.

《Adamant Ore》 could be created with alchemy by borrowing a bit of Philia’s power.

And with 40 million gold, we could purchase from 《Mithril’s Cane》 through Gannet.

Thankfully, I already had enough stock of 《Adamant Ore》 but maybe I had to place an order for the ingredients to Gannet as soon as possible.

And for the last one, 《Yggdrasil’s Droplet》, I might be able to get that with ease by making pact with a high-ranking spirit.

Spirits could be summoned temporarily for the sake of communication by the one who wanted to make a pact with them. One could make a pact with the spirit once the summoner fulfilled the requirements imposed by the spirit.

And once the pact is completed, the said spirit could be summoned at any given moment.

「Firstly, I have to choose a catalyst needed for a spirit contract in order to get 《Yggdrasil’s Droplet》.」
