Chapter 44 Report Of The Oso Damage
In response to my question, Corbett-san, seemingly embarrassed, scratched the back of his head and answered.
"Yes, about that Tigerman (Kojinzoku)..."
"Ah, I apologize for the delayed introduction. I am the head manager here, known as Privia Zedanzork."
"I see, you are Privia-sama. I have heard rumors about you from Oyakata-sama— I mean, Soutome-sama. Until recently, I was serving as the deputy chieftain of the Black Forest Human tribe. My name is Corbett. I have heard that you have arranged our accommodation. Thank you very much."
"No, no. From a cost-benefit standpoint, it's like a good investment. By the way, what's the real deal?"
"Yes, as you say, we excel in 'those things'. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. We will take care of anything according to your budget."
"Well, this is unexpected. Anyway, I would like to request your assistance. I think the discussion will go through our staff, Kumei-kun, so please take care of it."
"Yes, understood."
"Oh, by the way, feel free to renovate the building as you like."
"Thank you very much."
Corbett-san bowed and went over to Brigitte-san.
"Yeah, I feel like I made a good purchase. Soutome-dono."
"Is that so?"
"That's just how it is. I'll rely on you again starting tomorrow."
"Understood."
"Well then, if you'll excuse me. Nice to meet you, everyone."
Everyone bowed to Privia-san and saw her off. She walked through the door to the left of the reception and headed back to the head manager's office. Did she only come to say hello? Seriously, she's hard to read.
But thinking back to the conversation earlier, right? The Black Forest Humans, aren't they more like dwarves than dark elves? But even so, nobody has beards, and there's no muscular, stocky person. Everyone has a slender, typical elf-like style... I don't really understand.
"Privia-san"
"What's up?"
She stopped and turned around.
"Do you think it's a good idea to report on the Black Forest Human tribe settlement I visited the other day?"
"Oh, I'd like to hear about it if you can."
"Is now a good time?"
"Yeah, sure. Let's hear it."
I followed Privia-san and walked through the door, straight to the head manager's office.
Privia-san plopped down on the sofa. She gestured for me to sit as well. Without hesitation, I took a seat, and she started the conversation.
"...Oh, I completely forgot about this. What should we do about it?"
"What's wrong?"
"Kumei-kun can't drink tea in that condition, can she?"
"Oh, I see..."
I took out two cold drinks from the inventory.
"Please, have these."
"Well, well, this is quite handy, isn't it?"
This is the fruit water that I shared with everyone from the Black Forest Human tribe yesterday. I always carry it with me because it's my favorite.
"Yeah, it's delicious. Anyway, first of all, thank you."
"Why is that?"
"It's because the migration of the Black Forest Human tribe is beneficial for this city."
"Oh, so it's true?"
"Yeah, their technological skills are said to be top-notch even in the demon world. Have you actually seen it?"
"Yes, it's a small village, but the condition of the roads, even though they are just bare soil that has been compacted, and everything from the walls of the houses to the baths, is amazingly well-crafted and doesn't even look like it's made of wood."
"That's right, that's right. So, let's get back to the main topic, shall we?"
"Yes. I haven't actually touched it, smelled it, or tasted it, but..."
I explained in detail about the visible state of the Oso poison seeping from the roots of the trees that was eroding the Black Forest Human tribe settlement. And also, how there were no people from the parent generation of those who were brought here who survived.
Ah, I failed. I was supposed to take a photo with my smartphone. You know, it's easier for people to understand if they see it rather than me explaining it verbally, especially since you never know when the battery will run out.
"I see. So even Soutome-dono couldn't do it, huh?"
"Yes. It seems different from spreading toxins or diseases."
"I thought Soutome-dono might be able to do it, but maybe healing and purification are different things."
I had my hopes up too, you know. But it didn't work out. If I could disperse things just by touching them, it would be a different story.
"By the way, what about the 'Holy Lady of the Dragonkin Tribe'?"
"Ah, that story. That country, Arlheave..."
"Yes?"
"Unlike my homeland and the Watterhill, they don't share information with other countries or cities."
"I see."
"But you know, their grain harvest has been abundant for a long time, and it's their main source of income."
"That's amazing. The Black Forest Human Tribe's settlements have been severely affected by Oso poison, making harvest almost impossible..."
"The Holy Lady of the Dragonkin Tribe is undoubtedly one of the best in this continent, or even the world, just like Soutome-dono. There's no doubt that she is a skilled purifier."
"Purification, huh?"
"Yes. The rumor is that 'Arlheave' is solving the Oso poison problem."
"Is that true?"
"Well, it's said to be limited to within 'Arlheave', not a fundamental solution. The evidence is the grain."
"I see."
"Anyway, I'll gather information too. Thanks to Soutome-dono, even if we can't compete with Oso, we can still save people. So, I want to say thank you once again."
"Oh, I'm embarrassed..."
"Right, there's Rosalier-san, who is rumored to be the princess of the Black Forest Human Tribe."
"Yes."
"Was she Soutome-dono's love interest?"
"Well, that's... um..."
"Hahaha. Kumei-kun seems to be having a hard time with that."
"Please spare me."
"So she was like that. 'Dying twice,' huh... She must have shown them 'that.'"
"What are you talking about?"
Isn't that what you mean when you die twice? I guess it's best to play dumb for now.
"Anyway, starting tomorrow, I'll be relying on you for the treatment again, so please take care of me."
"Yes. Well then, excuse me."
