250 Episode 249: Find the Ooli Grass Flower

"GOHOHOHOHO"

"Kefu"

One day when the New Year was approaching, there were people in the town who looked sick.

Somehow everyone seems to be sick

That was true not only of the market, but also of the Adventurer's Guild.

"Koho"

Govu

Hmm, this is some kind of epidemic.....

In this situation, the adventurers weren't at work, and the reception was idle.

Somehow everyone seems sick, but what's the matter?

I will ask the person at the desk who seems to be in a bad condition.

"Yes, that's right." It seems that Swordfish disease has started to spread.... "

"When it comes to swordfish disease, it's a very prevalent disease in cold weather."

It doesn't get worse often, but it's a little troublesome when I'm busy at the end of the year.

“Thank you for telling me. Please take care of it."

Yeah, I'll go home and go to bed as soon as I'm done.

There are many people who seem to be in bad shape on the way home, and there are few people on the street.

Welcome back ~

"" "Welcome back" "

When I returned to the Mansion, everyone greeted me with a cheerful voice.

"Everyone's fine."

"Oh, you're talking about swordfish disease."

"I'll always be fine!"

"You're just dull enough not to notice when you get sick."

“If you don't know how sick you are, it's the same as if you don't have a disease!”

"This guy..."

Liliera continues to say things while smiling bitterly at the exchange between Gyro-kun and the others.

"It would be troublesome if it became popular." Is it safer to stay at home for a while, or to accept a request to go to a less popular place? In my case, I wanted to be as stable as possible and make money. "

Are you willing to accept a request to go away as long as it is possible?

But I want to slow down during the holidays.

"There's no medicine for swordfish disease, so it's hard to eat nutritious food and just sleep and wait."

Huh?

Huh?

If you lean your head against Lilliella's strange remarks, Lilliella too, huh? Tilts his head and neck.

"There's no medicine to treat swallow disease, right?" I don't know... right? "

"No, I have one." You can use the wolf grass. "

"Whoa!? There was even a special medicine for swordfish disease!?"

I know that wolf grass is quite precious, but I've never heard of it as a cure for swordfish disease.

"You're right about Hua." I'm going to roast the flowers and use them as medicine. "

Hua? What kind of flower blooms in the wolf grass?

"Yes, it blooms at night at the end of the year." Now is the right time. "

Yes, the wolf grass begins to prepare for flowering when it is cold.

And it's also called the New Year Flower because it blooms just before the start of the year.

“Yes, let's make a swordfish medicine and distribute it to our neighbors!”

"" "" "" Eh!? "" ""

"If swordfish disease is endemic, the shop will be closed and you will not be able to go out." Then let's distribute medicine to our neighbors and let's all do it together! ”

"Huh? But I just wanted to relax at the end of the year..."

"Yeah, it's not too much effort to harvest and medicate oak grass."

Yes, if everyone can take the medicine I made, I can expect a preventive effect, and it's two birds.

◆

Soon after we left the capital, we were flying towards the forest in the north.

"The wolf grass collects in an open place deep in the cold forest." So if you look for open spaces in the forest from the sky, you can easily find herds. "

First of all, it's not easy to learn flying magic, is it?

I don't think so.

After flying over the forest for a while, I saw an open place in the middle of the forest.

"Let's go down there."

When you get down to the open place, you will discover the wolf grass colony as you aim.

"Awesome! The wolf grass is so big!"

If you check the wolf grass, you will find the wolf grass flower as expected.

However, it's still a bud.

"It will take a little longer for the flowers to bloom." Maybe it'll bloom tonight. "

I wonder if I'll be camping here tonight?

That's how it is.

I told you, let's hunt monsters until nightfall!

Before that, get ready for camping!

When Mina stops Gyro-kun trying to hunt down the monsters, we start preparing for camp.

And when the gyros come back from the hunt and have dinner, it's a good time.

Ah, Hua!

When Meguri-san looked at the direction in which she spoke up, the wolf grass buds began to open.

You can take this home with you!

Yes, let's collect it while defeating the monster that is targeting this flower!

"" "" "" O... u? "" ""

Everyone was motivated, but for some reason, the verbal ass was small and shriveled.

What's the matter?

What are you talking about?

There are monsters aiming for this flower. Let's collect them while repelling them.

A monster is coming!?

Yes, there are monsters that like the flowers of the wolf grass, but since they are not very monstrous, you don't have to worry about that.

"" "" "Really?" ""

◆Guild Leader◆

Swordfish disease was endemic in the capital.

That's right, it's not a serious illness, but it's a troublesome illness with no cure.

Because of this, not only in the town, but also in the adventurer's guild, there were fewer adventurers who got sick and received requests.

Please, I have your share, too

The guild's lobby is noisy.

It's unusual for a lot of people to be sleeping with swordfish disease.

Sometimes there are no people, and there are not many jobs. I rarely show my face to the lobby.

Fortunately, both the adventurers and the staff seem to be attracted to the noise, so no one noticed me.

"That's..."

The one who was there was Lex, the big guy who could be said to be the famous adventurer of my guild.

Looks like he's the cause of this commotion.

"Please, I've prepared a cure for Swordfish Disease." If you are sick, please drink it. Even if you are not sick, it will be a preventive medicine, so please take it. ”

"Seriously! I haven't been well since yesterday!"

“But how much are you going to pay? I can't work here, so I have it with me..."

"Don't worry about it. This is what's left for the neighbors. It's free of charge."

"Seriously!? Then can I have one?"

"Yes, please."

The adventurers and the staff were just asking for it.

A cure for Swordfish Disease!? It didn't work like that!?

The medicine for the big guy suddenly diminished.

"Don't push because there are so many things you don't have to hurry. Behave yourself and line up!"

"Don't worry, there are also staff members' share."

Ladies of Liliella, who were eating big things against the incoming adventurer, brought extra medicine.

"Come on, seriously..."

Not only did you bring me the medicine for Swordfish Disease that shouldn't have any cure, but you also have it for the guild staff!?

Is that what they're doing?!

"Hey, can I have a minute?"

After distributing some medicine to the arriving crowds and watching the crowd drop, I talk to the big guy.

Ah, does the Guild Leader need any medicine to treat Swordfish Disease?

"Oh, oh, thank you so much."

Here you go.

I get my medicine from the big guy.

"You, why are you doing this again?" Are you serious about not getting paid for that, too? "

"Yes, I'm very sick at the end of the year."

"... eh?"

Because it's hard at the end of the year? Are you serious?

If the illness heals, our staff and adventurers will be able to work, so thank you very much.

"Even in my village, when disease is prevalent, energetic people make medicine and distribute it to everyone." This will result in fewer sick people. "

Well, that's the idea of a rural village, isn't it? I'll do it in King's Landing.

Ikan, I don't know how serious he is because he's always out of common sense.

However, I had to confirm it as the leader of the Adventurer's Guild.

"Well, thank you. On behalf of our staff and adventurers in the capital, I thank you."

"No, I don't like it." It's only natural to live in the same town. ”

No, it's not natural, is it?

“So, what are you going to do with the drug and how it's manufactured?”

Manufacturing method?

"Oh, you're going to entrust the medicine to the guild, just as the guild had previously contracted the production of a junior all-purpose poison killer?" Or are you going to entrust it to some village? "

Yes, there are a lot of people who want to know the recipe when it comes to treating Swordfish Disease for which they don't know the cure.

That's why I'm in charge of the Adventurer's Guild, and we have to stop these weird people from flocking to my Adventurer's Guild.

"That's right, if you ask the Adventurer's Guild, it will be easier for you to get cures in towns and villages outside the capital." But the medicine I use in my village is as simple as anyone knows. "

Ning, if you can make it that easily, it will be very helpful

Why doesn't anybody know how easy it is to take drugs like that?

What kind of secret medicine is it that's spreading in the village of the big guy?

Then it's only natural that no one knows.

"Okay, then tell me the contract and how to make the medicine!" Let's meet in the reception room over there! "

And after I moved to the reception room to negotiate, I was struck by the words of amazement from the big guy.

"I use wolfberry blossoms for medicine."

"... hah? Oh, the wolf grass... hua!?"

I'm stunned by the unbelievable words.

"That's how it's made..."

The big guy continued to explain how to make the medicine, but I didn't know what to do.

"Guild Leader, what is the Ooli grass flower?" I've never heard of it. "

After the big guys came back, the deputy guild leader asked me about the flower of the wolf grass.

I see, don't you know that he's about the age of the Wolf Grass Flower?

"Oh, oh, oh. Weeds bloom once a year, but the problem is how to harvest them."

How do you collect flowers?

That's right, the Wolf Grass Flower is a rare ingredient in medicine, but there is a problem in harvesting it.

What do you say?

The wolf grass flower is Joya Tiger's favorite item.

"Joya Tiger!? A ranked monster that lives in a cold place!?"

Hearing the name of Joya Tiger, the deputy guild leader gave a stunned expression.

"Oh, and Joya Tiger can separate the smell of the wolf grass from the distance of two towns."

"From two towns ahead!?"

Two towns are quite a distance away.

Normal monsters couldn't be far enough away from the village.

Ah, so when the blossoms of wolf grass bloom, the neighboring Joya Tigers gather and compete for the few flowers.

"A ranked monster, Joya Tiger, is going to fight each other!?"

"Yes, in other words, collecting the wolf grass flower means competing with the flock of Joya Tigers who are aiming for it." I can't imagine how many wolves of flowers have been collected when the amount is enough to distribute medicine all over the town. Naturally, the number of Joya Tigers who fought..... "

If you use a lot of such a troublesome material, then of course you don't know how to make a cure for Swordfish Disease.

Not because it's a potion from a nearby village, but simply because it's too difficult to get the ingredients for it.

"With that kind of curiosity..."

The Vice Guild Leader throbbed and looked stunned.

"Ahh, this is really ridiculous, S-rank adventurers..."

We thanked them quietly for the good fortune they gave us in this town.
