Chapter 87
Chapter 87 – Souvenir
「Uncle~ I’m entering~?」
After making a determination to go to the capital and just deciding on the horseback riding practice, Theodore-kun and Latis-kun entered the room .
「Tak.u.mi-san, Allen-kun, Elena-chan, welcome back~」
「Welcome back~」
「Theodore-kun, Latis-kun, we are back」
「「Are back~」」
The two who entered the room saw us and rushed over .
「How was the dungeon?」
「Please let us hear about it!」
And they about the stories from the dungeon .
「When we have the time, okay? Rather than that, didn’t you have a business with Isaac-san?」
「That’s not it . We heard Tak.u.mi-san and the children are here so」
It appears that Theodore-kun and Latis-kun didn’t enter the room because they have business with Isaac-san, but because they were looking for us .
「Nevertheless, you understood well that we were here」
「We asked the servants to inform us immediately after Tak.u.mi-san’s return!」
Ou…… these children, they are doing the same thing as Cedric-san……
Cedric-san is on a town scale while the children are on the mansion scale . There’s no doubt they are the little versions of their father . As expected of parents-children connected by blood .
「Oh my, oh my, you are parent and children, aren’t you? These children are doing the same thing Elder brother does, don’t they?」
It seems Isaac-san knows Cedric-san’s ways . He’s looking at his nephews exhaustedly . But, I feel the same ideology from Isaac-san though……
「…… Isaac, you do it too though」
While thinking such, Wald-sama weakly muttered to himself . As I thought, Isaac-san is doing the same .
「Theodore, Latis too, isn’t it currently your study time?」
「I have just finished!」
「Me too」
I see . Because they studies finished, they came to ask about the stories from the dungeon . The two said that they love adventure stories . I don’t mind talking about it, but rather than that――
「Then, we got something amusing in the dungeon, want to play with that?」
「Really!」
「Yay~」
「Somewhere more s.p.a.cious would be better but……」
「Let’s go to the practice field! Tak.u.mi-san, quickly, quickly!」
「Allen-kun, Elena-chan too, quickly!」
「Oh! Don’t rush so much……」
Urged on by Theodore-kun and Latis-kun, we arrived at the practice field .
There were several knights on the practice field, so when they moved to aside not to get in the way, I took out the soapy bubbles we obtained from Bubble Archelon .
「Wow! What is that!」
「So soft~」
The soapy bubbles remain for a while than naturally break in case the Bubble Archelon escapes . Also, in case the Bubble Archelon is defeated, the soapy bubbles will disappear the moment it’s defeated .
But however, the soapy bubbles stored in my《Infinite Storage》remained even after the Bubble Archelons were defeated .
Moreover, they won’t break no matter what . It didn’t burst even when I tried stabbing a knife into it .
Therefore, it became a firm but soft, light rubber balloon .
「Try lightly hitting it with your hand while facing us」
「Like this? ――There!」
When Theodore-kun slaps the balloon――poyon, the balloon floated and flew towards us .
「Allen . Hit it towards Latis-kun just as it is . Lightly, okay?」
「Yes~」
When Allen hit the floating balloon, it flew towards Latis-kun this time .
「Latis-kun, hit it towards Elena next」
「Yes! ――There!」
「Nice! Elena, towards Theodore-kun next, okay?」
「Yess」
Understanding the way to play, the children hit the balloon one after another .
「They are playing with something amusing~ Tak.u.mi, what’s that?」
Wald-sama who tagged along with us to the practice field showed interest in the Bubble Archelon’s soapy bubble the children were playing with . This world has many plants, monsters, and mysterious materials, but something like a rubber hasn’t spread around, so they must find it curious .
「That’s the foam? that Bubble Archelen releases, isn’t it?」
「Haa!? Wait a moment! That foam which bursts on touch? Why is it staying in shape!」
「Well~ it was in the way when we were defeating it, so I tried to store it in my《Infinite Storage》, but it stayed in the《Infinite Storage》even after defeating it and turned out like that when I took it out~ it didn’t break even after trying to pierce it with sharp tools, so I thought there wouldn’t be a problem to play with it」
「That means that you have defeated a Bubble Archelon, doesn’t it? They normally escape!」
「…… That’s a Tak.u.mi-san like method of defeating it, isn’t it?」
When I convey how we defeated the Bubble Archelon, Wald-sama and Isaac-san looked at me tiredly .
No I mean, if I am to tidy up the soapy bubbles that cover my field of vision, storing them into the《Infinite Storage》would be fastest~
「Tak.u.mi, if you still have some, lend me one」
「Ah, yes」
When I retrieved one soapy bubble and handed it over to Wald-sama, both Wald-sama and Isaac-san started to touch it and inspecting it .
「…… It really won’t break」
When Wald-sama grabbed the soapy bubble in both of his hands and put strength into it, it only changed shape but didn’t break .
「To only deform after Captain grabbed it with all of his strength…… it’s quite durable, isn’t it? It looks like a usable material . Researchers would be charmed」
「Right . Oy, Tak.u.mi . Do you have a lot?」
「Well, I have a reasonable amount . Do you know the approximate amount of soapy bubbles Bubble Archleon releases when being confronted? Not in the accurate meaning but an estimation」
「Yeah」
「if you multiply it by ten-odd times, can you understand the quant.i.ty?」
「…… Yeah . I understand that you have quite a lot」
Precisely . I have quite a lot soapy bubbles in the《Infinite Storage》 .
When encountering Bubble Archelon, it will release these bubbles without a doubt . And I collected them every time, didn’t I~
「Tak.u.mi-san, could you possibly sell us some?」
「I will give them to you?」
「That’s no good . Because it’s for research purposes . If we don’t properly pay here, it would become troublesome if we find a useful utility . I don’t think that would happen with Tak.u.mi-san as partner, but it’s not good to break the premise」
I see . If the material’s owner isn’t properly confirmed, once a use for it is found, a dispute over the profits would occur .
I think it would change ownership to whomever I “gave” it to, but there would be people who would argue, wouldn’t there~
「If that’s the case, I understand . Shall I leave the decision about its value to you?」
「Thank you very much . For the time being, I would be happy if you could give me couple now and a few once we are in the capital」
「I have quite a lot, so there’s no problem――oops」
While talking with Isaac-san about the soapy bubbles, I felt a light impact from behind .
「N? Allen and Elena? What’s the matter?」
「Together」
「Let’s play~」
「Tak.u.mi-san, this is amusing . Uncle~ How about Uncle too?」
「Wald-sama, let’s have a contest!」
The four children who were playing by themselves came to invite us . Latis-kun challenged Wald-sama to a match .
「What to do?」
I said while glancing at Wald-sama and Isaac-san .
「Alright! Pipsqueaks, I will keep you company!」
「That’s right . One should occasionally keep the children company」
Eventually, it turned out to four children VS Wald-sama and Wald-sama played with the children until the day got dark .
