106 - - Episode 9 Hope of Race?

I am sorry to call on you so late at night. I am Lilith, the first princess of the Human Kingdom. I am Light, brother of Yume.

The boy who introduced himself as Light, Yume's older brother, stands up from the Golden Throne and walks down the stairs to Lilith, the First Princess of the Kingdom of Humans.

Light stands in front of her.

Lilith is slightly taller than him, so he is looking down on her, but he does not mind and bows his head.

He is not bothered by the fact that Lilith is slightly taller than him. Princess Lilith not only saved my life with her potion, but she also gave me a job and gave me generous protection. Thank you so much."

When Wright bowed his head, all of Erie and even the monsters behind him bowed their heads to Lilith in unison.

The fact that Light, who is powerful enough to be called a "god," the "Witch of the Giant Tower," and the mythical monsters all bowed their heads and thanked Lilith was confusing.

But at the same time, Lilith experienced a sense of superiority and felt a large amount of pleasure chemicals flooding into her brain.

However, not saying anything at this point would be fatal to her.

She hurriedly flapped her hands from side to side.

No, no!　I just did what a human being should do. So please raise your head."

Thank you once again for your noble spirit, Princess Lilith."

Nnu......."

Wright thanks him with a big smile.

Lilith crushes on his smile, which is so beautiful that she could be mistaken for a girl, and her cheeks turn red and a small noise escapes her mouth.

Wright does not notice and proceeds with his story.

I will never forget the debt of gratitude you owe me for saving my sister. In exchange for the potion that healed Yume's wounds, we have prepared the finest potion we can offer. We have also prepared a reward for you, so please pay it.

What?

When Wright turned his attention to May, she showed him a barrel full of gold coins from her item box and a top-quality potion on top of it.

Lilith was flustered at the sight of this actual item.

(The one I used on Yume was an intermediate level potion, not the top of the line potion as it looks. ...... And "a barrelful of gold coins," literally a barrelful of gold coins!　(Unbelievable!)

The potion bottles are gold-worked and claim to be top quality by the look of them.

A barrelful of gold might equal or exceed the national budget of a racial (human) kingdom. It is impossible for an individual to receive and take home such a large sum of money.

First of all, the reason is unexplainable.

No matter who I explain it to, no one will be convinced.

Lilith looks at him bitterly, "How can I refuse?

Lilith looks at him bitterly, "How can I refuse?

He replies with a smile.

Princess Lilith will take the high-grade potion as an insurance policy in case of emergency. It's only necessary if you don't show it in public. As for the gold coins, I would like you to consider them as your personal funds. I will introduce you to a merchant who has a store in the Kingdom of Humans later. I will leave this barrel with him, and if you contact me with the amount of money you need, I will prepare it immediately.

Oh, thank you for your thoughtfulness."

With such well-prepared words, I had no way to say no.

Lilith smiled affectionately.

If you can take it home with you, there is no need to be troubled with money.

The Light side also wanted to receive the high-grade potion and gold coin barrels for their own sake.

She saved her own sister's life, gave her a job, and protected her in the castle for several years.

A mere thank-you would not be enough to save his face as the Lord of "The Abyss".

He needed to show something that exceeded the expectations of the first princess.

Therefore, they prepared a high-grade potion and a barrel of gold coins, and even prepared the groundwork for her to receive them.

Wright added a few more words.

But this level of gratitude is not enough to satisfy my feelings. But this is not enough to make me feel good.　If you wish, I can provide 'bracelets of immortality,' 'rejuvenation potions,' 'poison-disabling earrings,' and so on?"

This is just ...... like something out of a fairy tale.

At his offer, Princess Lilith squeezes out her voice.

Even without reading her mind, it was obvious that she was taken aback.

It would be laughable if anyone else were to say it, but I have a feeling that Light, a boy who follows mythical monsters, could have prepared for it.

He said, "Please don't hesitate to tell me. He saved my sister's life. If you have any doubts, I can give you all of them."

Wright told me as casually as if he were giving me an assortment of candy that I could buy on the street.

How much money do you have to spare? Lilith's smile is drawn back as she is astonished in her heart.

Lilith repeats her breathing to calm herself down.

(This offer is very much appreciated. ...... For example, if I could borrow one or two of the monsters here as my followers, instead of the magic items offered, I would be very grateful to the racial (human) kingdom. Contempt, undue pressure to reduce grain prices, tariffs, selling off slaves - many problems could be put to rest. (But ......)

Giggling, Lilith clenches her palms tightly.

'Is that really what you want?' and she accelerates her thinking the most since she was born.

Her conscience appeals.

(I don't know what the repercussions would be if I depended on beings like them. But it is also true that it is an unwanted hope. ...... So, for me, as a princess, the most important thing is to protect the tomorrow of the race (human). The most important thing for me is to protect the future of the race (human), even if I have to kiss the devil or be cursed as a demon king, I will accept everything!)

Lilith turns again to Light.

She spoke of hope.

Light, I have only one wish for the future of the ---- race (human), please lend me your help!　Please!"

...... understand. I will lend you my help, however small it may be."

Lilith's offer is accepted with a smile.

His immediate response without hesitation makes her feel as if she has been dancing in the palm of his hand from the very beginning.

But now that she has said it out loud, there is no turning back.

Will Lilith's choice be a boon, a despair, a blessing, or a d*mnation for the race (human)?

The outcome was not known at this point.

--The next morning.

After breakfast, the first prince and first princess of the Kingdom of Humans make an inspection tour around the "Giant Tower.

Ellie, the "Witch of the Giant Tower," is their guide.

There are two dwellings, a metal box and a wood house, aren't there?

The metal box is called "Puleabu. The metal boxes are called 'puhaebu,' and they were given to us as temporary houses. At present, we are in the process of making houses out of wood, giving priority to households with children rather than singles.

Ellie, the "Witch of the Giant Tower," answers Lilith's question with ease.

After protecting the slaves, she used "R, Prefab" from the "Infinite Gacha" card as a temporary measure of comfort. After that, she cut down wood from the surrounding virgin forest, dried it with magic, and built a house, giving priority to her family.

They employed former human craftsmen to make the house, and also produced furniture, tableware, etc.

Claw, the older brother, spoke next.

The fields are cultivated by ...... golems, aren't they?

That's right. Human beings are not strong enough. Besides, a golem can plow tirelessly and without fatigue. However, human hands are necessary to do detailed work ...... such as sprinkling seeds and watering the fields. We should not rely on the golem too much, but contribute to each other in areas where we are good at. We have the right people for the job.

I thought it was a great idea. By the way, would it be possible to borrow the Golem?"

I am not thinking about it. We have no intention of letting them out in the future either.

That's too bad. I thought that if you lent it to our country, it would promote development. ......"

Clough is disappointed.

However, if the golem were to be taken outside and loaned to development as desired, it might be temporary, but that would eliminate jobs for the race (humans).

Without jobs, they cannot earn wages, eat soup and bread.

The "Witch of the Giant Tower" stands for "absolute human independence. There are other reasons, but at this point in time, soon after the establishment of the "Giant Tower," there is no need to do anything that will be resented by the human race, even if only a part of it.

When the "Witches of the Giant Tower" and the others are noticed, the fairy maids who are in the middle of their work stop and bow their hands, while the humans get down on their knees, fold their hands, and bow their heads as if in deep prayer.

Lilith's eyes light up as she says, "We should join hands with them for the future of our race (humans)," while her brother Claw's face shows his dissatisfaction as he says, "Ignore the human royal family and ...... The

Ellie channels her frustration and heads to the next guided tour location.

Next, you will inspect the outer rim of the building," she said.

--The first floor entrance to the tower was guarded by a shadow observing the scene from the first floor entrance to the tower.

It was the First Princess Lilith herself, who was supposed to be inspecting the tower.

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're looking for, and then you can make the right choice.
