Chapter 186 – A Place to Take Root (2)
“You said you went to see Ariad?”
“Huh.”
When I nodded, Lilith, who was looking at me with mischievous eyes, opened her mouth.
“Why?”
Why?
“All of Ariad’s sap in the house has run out.”
“…Is that the end?”
“It’s over, why?”
Lilith sighs at my words.
When I looked at Lilith like that, wondering why she was doing that, Lilith said with a blush on her face.
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
“No, I want to take a breather.”
“…Never mind. Rather, if that’s the reason, you don’t have to be Ariad’s sap.”
There is also a potion, and I confidently puffed out my chest to Lilith who said so.
“I don’t have money to buy potions.”
“I have you?”
“But that’s it.”
I have no money, but my wives have a lot of money.
No, I would be rich if I just sold pedo canes.
I felt like it would be a waste to sell the pedo cane, so I kept holding on to it.
Justitia said that even if she tried to sell it, no one would probably buy it.
It was a cursed staff that only necromancers could use, but Carmina threw a purification beam and it became useless…
It was roughly an item exclusively for necromancers, but it seemed to have become a strange item that necromancers could no longer use.
Since the material was good, it would be possible to sell it separately, but it seemed that it would be difficult to get the full price.
Even though Justitia felt that the price that she did not receive well was incredible.
However, after I asked how much it would be if I sold it at full price and found out how much it was, the desire to sell it disappeared.
It’s not even half a piece, but half a piece is over the line.
So, instead of that, I was just decorating it around the house as a souvenir.
For reference, the chain that sealed Carmina’s divinity, which was a looting item other than the Pedo staff, was taken by Justitia and was being studied.
Unlike a cane, it was an item that I really had no place to sell, so I just left it with Justitia.
When I handed him the chain, his normally half-closed eyes started to shine and he was so happy that I was happy.
Anyway, not this.
“That’s why you always ask me to buy you something.”
I thought about it before, but always asking her wives to buy her something was a bit much.
I didn’t know I had this kind of machismo, but I did anyway.
At my words, Lilith snorted and said.
“Before, if you gave me something, I just accepted it.”
“You were my son back then.”
Things were different when Lilith was a mother than they were now when Lilith was her wife.
“…Anyway, I have too much pride.”
Lilith, who had been muttering like that, sighed.
“Well… Okay, so… Is there anything you can give Ariad in return?”
“Cost…?”
Uh…
Did Ariad receive money?
“…You forgot, right? “Didn’t he just accept it when he received the sap before?”
When I thought about it, it seemed like something like that.
I didn’t give Ariad anything, but Lilith decided to give Ariad something instead.
Although I still didn’t know what Lilith had decided to give me at that time.
It wasn’t free…?
Anyway, Lilith frowned when she saw me speechless at the words “Price”.
“…Well, I knew that would happen.”
“Ha,” Lilith sighs again.
This is already the third time today, but somehow all three sighs seemed to have different meanings.
“Now, I don’t have much to give to her… You must be bothering me.”
“Uh, you treated me well before, right?”
“Back then…”
Lilith, who was about to say something, clamped her mouth shut.
“Then?”
“…Noisy.”
No, they make noise whenever I say something.
“What are you talking about with Lilith like that? “It’s Hanzo.”
Anyway, while I was doing that, Hoa-ran, who came out after washing up, said that.
“Oh, I was thinking about something to give Ariad.”
“To Ariad? Cost?”
Hoa-ran, who was tilting his head, thought for a moment and said, “Hmm.”
“If there was a price worth giving Ariad, it would be virgin blood. The purer it is, the more Ariad likes it. “Her body, the world tree, grows using only pure and clean things as fertilizer.”
“Hey!”
Lilith screamed at Hoaran’s words and tried to cut him off, but it was already too late.
I already heard it.
“Hmm? “Why are you doing this, Lilith?”
Ah…
So she said that Lilith no longer had anything in return for Ariad.
Because Lilith is no longer her virgin.
Lilith’s blood, which had been penetrated by me and ceased to be her virgin, was no longer the price Ariad liked, so there was nothing left to give.
“Uh. Hmm.”
“…If you have anything to say, just say it, you bastard.”
I said this when I saw Lilith saying that with the tips of her ears dyed red.
“I’m sorry for tearing you apart.”
“You’re not crazy. This is real.”
No, if you want to say something, just say it.
“What is it? “What were you talking about?”
When I felt the wetness sticking to me, I turned around and saw that it was Carmina.
“What, have you already washed everything?”
“Hmm! “Just wash it after it gets smaller!”
It seemed like it would be a bit more convenient.
But I wish it would stick after wiping off all the moisture.
“Pharaoh, please…”
Look.
Karura, who had gone in to wash together with Carmina, came with her towel and wiped away the remaining water on Carmina’s head.
Looking at the two, it was hard to believe that Carmina was older than Karura and had lived several times longer.
No matter how I look, I can only see the opposite.
“So, what were you saying? “Women’s hero.”
As Carmina wraps her hair in a towel and wipes it away, she speaks so casually that I wonder if it’s the former pharaoh’s natural behavior.
Because she was Carmina, a confident person who thought it was natural to be supported by someone else.
Well, anyway.
“Yes, that is.”
Ariad… Carmina probably doesn’t know much, so let’s just tell Carmina that I’ve run out of sap that I usually drink and that I need something clean and pure, like virgin blood, for example. Carmina said.
“Does it matter as long as it is pure and clean?”
“Well… Since it looks like it’s being used as food, shouldn’t it have a shape?”
When I said that, Carmina nodded and said, “Hmm,” Because I understood that it was actually like fertilizer.
“That is a difficult task. “If it had been a few weeks ago, she would have given up as much blood as she could, but… Ah.”
“Ah?”
I suddenly wondered why, but Carmina spoke to me.
“After all, there is still a virgin!”
She’s a virgin?
It can’t be possible.
That’s what I thought, but Carmina said with a bright smile.
“As far as she knows, Ammut is also a female body, and since she has never had sexual intercourse with a man, she must be a virgin.”
“…Ammut?”
Why does he come out all of a sudden?
No, rather, was Ammut a woman?
In this case, is it correct to say that she is a female?
Well, anyway.
“Come out, Ammut.”
When I called, Ammut came out with a pop.
As usual, Ammut, in the form of a small cat with pure white fur, shouted with a roar that could not have been achieved.
“I am Ammut, the one who judges with death! “I answer my master’s call!”
“Do I have to do that every time it comes up?”
In the first place, he no longer had any divinity left, he was no longer a judge of death or anything, so he became my summoned beast and was abandoned.
“…It’s noisy, my master. So what was the reason for calling this time? If… You’re calling me here just to pet me like last time… Well, I understand just this one more time. “You are my master.”
I said as I saw Ammut saying that while gently shaking his white tail.
“No, that’s not why I called you.”
“…Isn’t it?”
“No.”
“…Then why did you call me? “It doesn’t look like anything in particular happened.”
“That’s right, let me just ask you one question.”
“If I can answer anything, I’ll answer anything. “My master.”
I asked after seeing Ammut confidently answering “Nyaang” While raising his head.
“Are you a virgin?”
It was right after that that Ammut’s meow punch landed in my face.
The issue of compensation to Ariad could somehow be resolved with Ammut’s cooperation.
Even though Ammut, who had properly pounced after that, gave blood, he went back in and did not come out even when called.
I decided to apologize for this later.
Anyway, even if I want to apologize now, I can’t because the ammut that has been buried inside me won’t come out.
Anyway, once the payment issue was resolved, there was no longer a problem, so I was allowed to go to Ariad to receive the sap.
Since it was simply a matter of receiving IV fluids from Ariad, I said I would go alone and there were some other comments.
In particular, the hardest thing was stopping Carmina from saying that she wanted to go too.
Anyway, I was able to somehow persuade everyone by saying that it wasn’t a good idea to rush to get some sap.
Well, I was warned about a lot of things because I went alone and there were a lot of things to worry about.
Things like not making promises with Ariad, not getting involved in the pranks of young fairies or spirits, or, if possible, ignoring them altogether.
I received a lot of attention from Lilith and Hoaran.
Anyway.
“Let’s go, Sing Ssing.”
After a long time, I took a ride and headed to the Dryades Botanical Garden where Ariad is located.
