Chapter 2369: The Promised Tea Party
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
I take a sip of the grape juice I got from Alice, and it has a refreshingly crisp flavor, really delicious.
[This grape juice is pretty good.]
[By the way, this grape juice was made from grapes grown by the Ritch Barony. Well, its not like they sell it as grape juice or anything, so I was the one who turned the grapes into juice.]
[Eh? Really? So, Marie-sans place grows not just ripples but grapes too]
[Not to the extent that Raz-sans place does, but they do grow several types of fruit. Ripples are the main one though The Ritch Baronys territory has good soil and climate. Its quite suitable for cultivating fruit.]
When I ate their ripple before, I thought the same thing, but the fruit from Marie-sans orchards is really tasty. Of course, its not like its on the level of the best in the world or anything like that, but I can tell its high-quality, carefully grown, and made with great effort.
[Their ripples were really good too, no doubt about its quality, right?]
[Yes, if they take them out in a produce fair, they might even win an award. But the problem is distribution. The territory is surrounded by high mountains and monster habitats, so to get to the nearest large trading city, you have to make quite a detour]
[Fumu, in that case, wouldnt flying dragon flight be useful? Or is it that unlike in Symphonia Kingdom, Archlesia Empire doesnt really have flying dragon flight?]
[No, Archlesia Empire has flying dragon flight as well. Its just that Ritch Baronys territory falls under a no-fly zone for flying dragon flights.]
As she answered my question lightly, Alice pulled out something like a whiteboard from nowhere and sketched a map freehand.
In the center, she wrote Ritch Barony and drew several red circles around it.
[Flying dragon flights, as the name suggests, uses Dragons. Mary-sans place is a special case, since she has a contract with Magnawell and borrows his subordinates, but otherwise, they use Dragons that arent classified as Demons. Since they fly through the skies, the biggest concern is naturally flying monsters.]
[Ah, right. If they got attacked midair, with passengers and cargo, they couldnt just fight recklessly]
[Exactly. That said, Dragons are generally high-ranking monsters, so most other monsters run away rather than attack with the exception of Wyverns. Wyverns are among the strongest monsters in the Human Realm, and with their low intelligence and violent temperament, if flying dragon flight happens to fly near their habitat, theyll attack. That makes them the number one threat flying dragon flight contractors have to watch out for.]
Hearing that, I remembered something Alice had said earlier about there being a lot of high mountains nearby. Wyverns live in high mountains in other words, there are wyvern habitats close to the Ritch Barony.
[Looks like youve realized it, but yes, thats correct. There are several mountains near Baron Ritchs lands where Wyverns live. That said, theyre still quite far from towns, so its not like towns or villages are ever attacked, but flying dragon flight companies designate a no-fly zone within a certain radius of Wyvern habitats, so flying dragon flights cant reach the Ritch Baronys territory.]
[I see. And on top of that, without a teleportation gate, it must be tough to ship out fruit and such]
[Right. Im sure youve seen teleportation gates a few times yourself, Kaito-san, but theyre massive facilities, and of course, building one costs an outrageous amount of money. So, if there isnt much profit to be made, no trading company is going to pay that kind of money to build one.]
Its a bit like train stations, I suppose. Since those who build them arent doing charity work, if they cant expect profits from passengers and usage, no teleportation gate gets built. As a result, the area remains inconvenient, no more people settle there, and it becomes a kind of vicious cycle huh
[I see, sounds like Marie-sans got it rough.]
[Yes, well that problem will be resolved soon enough. And besides, whats rough for Marie-san probably isnt that particular issue]
[Unn?]
[Oh, nothing. Just thinking how tasty this grape juice is.]
Alice tilted her wineglass with a cheerful smile. I cocked my head at her words, but since I couldnt quite put my vague doubts into words, I decided not to press further and just kept on with lighthearted small talk.
Wyvern-senpai : [Its been a while since I got some screentime, yahoo!]
Serious-senpai : [No, thats not screentime, you were just mentioned in conversation and every time you come up, youre treated as either meat or a nuisance]
Wyvern-senpai : [I leave the spotlight to Big Sis, so Im fine with appearing in the shadows too. Besides, there was talk about ordering a special brush for Dragons, and if that leads to Big Sis getting more screentime, thatd be great.]
Serious-senpai : [Ah T- Thats true, isnt it Kaitos got an absurd number of Dragon acquaintances If they manage to make a special brush for Dragons, and Kaito takes a liking to it then it looks like Cornelias stomach really will be destroyed.]
