Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~

>

It seems she heard the words I unconsciously muttered.
Miko Himesama agrees with a laugh.

「Right, right.
We have to present the reward to Takumi-sama」
「Ah, that! In that case, wouldn’t you teach us the way of using water magic?」

Talking about the reward, I asked about what was on my mind.
Right.
I want to learn water magic.
Mermaids living underwater would know a thing or two about water magic, right?

「Water magic, is it? Certainly, most of the Mermaids can use it, but……」
「We possess the【Water Magic】skill, but I’m troubled because I can’t use it well.
The children have never used magic before……」

In fact, when we moved through the sea, I tried using the water magic, but it didn’t go well.
I tried shooting the low level《Water Ball》, but it had no power. Besha, just about a fistful of water spurted out.
Because I myself can’t use it, I am not able to teach it to Allen and Elena.

「If that is the case, there is no problem.
I will introduce you to a user who excels at teaching! However, the reward is separate」
「No, just teaching us is enough」

Even though I solved their problem, I just put the ship into the《Infinite Storage》.
I would be grateful for just being able to learn water magic.

「No, I request you to accept it.
Although I said reward, it is something unnecessary for us…… Would you please look at it first?」

……… N? Unnecessary?
What does she mean?
Saying, please look at the goods first, Mirena-san guides us to the place where the reward is.

「This way, please」
「This is?」

The place I was guided to is a cave in the rock face in the rear of the Blue Waters Shrine.
Inside the cave, there was a spacious room with a lot of things were piled up.
Seaweed in a shell?
Fish bones with some kind of stones?
There really was a lot of things.
Moreover, a considerably large quantity of each.

【Bracka seaweed】
A medicinal plant inhabiting deep seas.
Because it has an effect of lowering temperature, it’s used as a material for antipyretic and salves for burns treatment.

＝＝＝＝＝
【Bone of Giant Shark】
Hard, but light bone.
Utilized as material for weapons.
＝＝＝＝＝

After appraising it, every seaweed and shells were materials for medicine.
The bones can be used for making weapons.

「Everything has quite a value, you know?」

And yet they say that everything in here is part of the reward.

「This~」

「Wha~t?」
「Eh? Pearl!? Huge!」

Allen and Elena brought a golf ball-sized pearl.
Looking carefully, a great amount of various sized pearls were rolling on the ground beside the two.
Not only big ones but also normal sized pearls that could be used to make necklaces.
And they are just gorogoro on the floor.
White and black, purple, pink, yellow…… various colors.
This is my first time seeing so many pearls.

「To tell you the truth, this place is our garbage dump…」

Haa!? Garbage dump?
This all, are you saying this all is a garbage!?

「When we pick something that sunk around the Blue Waters Shrine or the ocean floor, we put it here」
「Everything!? I mean, this is a pearl, you know?」
「That’s a stone that comes from the edible shells, isn’t it? The big ones come from Big Shells, but…… Either of them is not a magic stone, you know?」
「Pearl is a kind of a gem, you know?」
「Is that so? I like gems too, but I like the more sparkling and transparent ones better?」
「………」

Ofu…… these people recognize pearls that come out of shells as stones.
I see, I see now……
Are? To the people of Aetherdia…… it’s a gem, right? Without a doubt.

「It’s as Retainer-sama said then, although it has no worth to us, it seems it’s attractive stone to humans」

That’s right.
I’m really startled by your different sense of value.

「As you can see the place has become full…… Although we think it’s rude to give something unnecessary to us as reward, we would be much grateful if you received it……」
「………」

I have no words to say anymore.
Allen, Elena.
Do you like that pearl? It seems we can take it, so I will.
