(EP.183)Ann Take #2
183 – Give and Take #2
“Now, how about this, I think this was a sufficient price. Jim doesn’t know much about magic, but don’t you think he’s gained enough power to see the future?”
As I was embracing various emotions with the letters that came to my mind, Serazade spoke to me in a soft voice.
Only then did I realize that this was a trading scene.
Oh my gosh, I’m pissed.
People usually live in groups.
When a village or society grows bigger, going beyond the family, the country is finally created.
If the scope was larger than that, I thought that it would be entangled with the spirit of the times of the species called people.
If I were to pick one important point in human relationships, regardless of age or gender, I would choose give and take.
You give as much as you give, and you give as much as you receive.
That’s fair.
I dared to think that perhaps a large part of the human-to-human problems that arise in human society is because this fair relationship is not formed.
In that sense, I have now received a kind of great price.
I have to pay Serazade for something equal to the amount of public oil I ate, so there is nothing behind it.
The problem is that Serazade is now craving me for knowledge of the future, and I don’t have a flash to satisfy her.
It was too frivolous.
I was thinking of rejecting it.
But when I saw the pure white water drop from Serazade, I couldn’t stand it, as if I had seen the gift I had been waiting for all my life.
Just as the body of a protein-deficient person wants to eat meat, the lack of magical power in my body must have made it swallow the Gongcheong Oil.
“Well-.”
I gulped down.
It’s information about the future, so I’ll just give you what you know. Having held on to the weight, I took off my luck as if I was talking about something very serious.
“Isn’t there a lot of walls around Turki?”
“okay. A long wall fills the perimeter of Turki. When our ancestors built the wall, everyone said they were crazy, but in the last war, they really benefited from it.”
Around the small kingdom of Turki, there was a wall with magical energy. When the old king built such a great wall, everyone pointed at him saying, “Is this even necessary?”
However, when the Demon King Angmar led his army and invaded Turki, it was said that he was tortured several times by that strong wall.
As a result, it was a moment when the insight possessed by the old king of Turki was recognized.
“There will not be many who can invade the long wall in the future. It is already the pride of Turki itself.”
“Yes. Even in the sky, if there were no flying beings.”
“sky?”
“That’s right. It is better not to depend too much on the perfection of the general.”
“Is that a prophecy?”
At Serazade’s question, a description of Turki, briefly evaluated as being devastated by a flying monster, came to my mind.
It was something that could happen someday, so can it be called a prophecy?
“The future I have already observed. It may change based on this starting point, but it is something that may happen again someday.”
“Is it the sky?”
Serazade put her hand on her pointed, slender chin and seemed to think for a moment. In a world without fighter jets, it sounds like a far-fetched story.
To say that he is a dangerous being who can fly, he is a level wizard.
As far as I know, flying magic requires very complex calculations, so at least 6th rank should be achieved. Therefore, it means that there is no being who will fly and invade the sky.
Even though Serazade laughed at “Funny story-!”, I had nothing to say. She surprisingly seemed to take my bizarre story seriously.
Is it because of the name value?
If I, who is rumored to be a fairy, take this story seriously, everyone will have no choice but to believe it.
Even if you don’t believe in prophecies, if a shaman who is reputed to be brave gives you advice, “Watch out for the sky!”, it’s clear that the sky you’ve never seen before will start to care.

Great.
I can get over it
“If it’s the sky, specifically? Is that something you don’t know?”
“I do not know. Until that… .”
“Right. is it the sky I never even cared about it. Then I’ll ask you one more question. In fact, this is a more important story.”
“One more?”
“okay. And it would be better for us to never reveal the matter between the two of us.”
How do you carry so much weight? I got nervous too. I have to say that I feel like I want to get out of here.
Finally Serazade asked.
“When can Jim be taller? Can’t we just say that growth has already ended? It would be better to tell the truth.”
“Well.”
At the same time, there is sympathy. The key doesn’t matter. Apparently, Serazade was wondering if there was still room for growth in her.
“Aren’t you still beautiful enough? Why are you asking such a thing?”
“Yeah, for, according to the stern ancient laws of Turki, only women who have grown to a certain size can marry and start a family! The burden is tight.”
“that… , okay.”
“How can there be no way to be only 3 cm taller? If we keep going like this, we may end up having to choose one of Casim’s children as Jim’s successor!”
Serazade looked desperate. After all, the seat of the king that was barely obtained. It is natural that they want to get married, have an heir, and pass it on to their children.
But I didn’t know how to be tall.
Had I known, I would have done it first.
However, Serazade’s attitude was so serious that I decided to immediately think of anything that would help with the feeling of debt for having previously ate public oil.
“How about drinking a lot of milk and going to bed early?”
“I have already done it! I’ve had a growth plate massage and tried all the good medicines. But even though the body became healthy, it did not grow in size… .”
“okay.”
Well, since I’m a royal, I’ve probably already done all the common-sense stories that can give me a prescription at my level.
If this is the case, the advice I can give you is nonsense. I have to tell you things that are spiritual, mystical, and have never been tested.
But I am a seonmudang. There were a few plausible things I could say.
“How about dating?”
“love?”
“Have you ever heard the story of a girl in love becoming an adult? It’s about becoming prettier and more beautiful.”
“… … .”
Perhaps she didn’t like my answer, Serazade kept her mouth shut. As I was nervous for a moment, she nodded, “Really.”
“Indeed, Jim has even heard of such a story.”
that would be natural There is a saying that in a woman in love, endorphins and dopamine are released, which helps maintain a physically attractive tension in many ways.
Even if it doesn’t have to be, lovers who are in love are psychologically stable, so whatever they do, they are full of vitality, and thanks to this, they can grow.
… I don’t know if he’ll be tall though.
“Anyway, I think that’s all I can say.”
I ended the story quickly, fearing that Serazade might come up with a more difficult story. Fortunately, the story ends here because I and she were both busy.
As I got up from my seat and opened the door, I suddenly remembered that there was one more thing that came to my mind.
It is said that Solomon’s shaman circles were installed throughout this arc, and thanks to that, the dungeon was teeming with very large insects and beasts, such as giant ants, giant wasps, and giant scarabs.
Maybe it’s because there’s a magic circle that promotes growth or something.
I wanted to tell you about it, but I just kept my mouth shut because I didn’t know what kind of influence and effect the magic of the old Archmage Solomon would have.
“Then, Serazade-sama. It was an honor to meet you.”
As I nodded and now I was about to head out into the hallway, she called me, “Tae Oh Gospel.” She said after shutting her mouth for a moment, wondering if she had more to say.
“Aren’t you planning to come to the royal palace of Turki? In return, give generously. Whatever Queen Aira gives you, I can give you more than that, half-elf.”
“… that-.”
As I was about to say something, Serazade raised her palm.
“I’m not going to get an answer right away.”
“… … .”
“Jim will be staying for a week. After the duel trial is over, think about it seriously until all the things you are in charge of are resolved.”

When I came out on the street, I felt a bit more relaxed.
Shouldn’t it be said that the body itself is very refreshing and fresh as if it was just born?
It’s like taking a walk through the forest while smelling the sweet smell of dew at dawn when it rained last night. My back and neck, which had been chubby lately, seemed to be in good shape and my mind was clear.
Is this the power of public oil?
taken from noblemt l
Good.
It would be nice to be able to get a few more. It’s a pity that Serazade will definitely demand a bigger price if that happens, but I’m going to put up with it.
Because I no longer had anything to give her in exchange for an expensive elixir. When I gave out prophecies or advice that didn’t make sense before, I felt very humiliated myself.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now you don’t have to get tangled up anyway.
Rather, he would offer me a scout. How much more will you pay for what Aira gives you?
It was a very harsh proposal, but as I said before, the important rule of the world is give and take. When I receive something big, I have to do something big too.
But I don’t really have the ability to do that, and if I do, I’ll say, “You lied to me-! Isn’t it a completely false sale-!” and may cut my head off in a rage.
… … .
You should also refuse.
With that thought in mind, I have now decided to go back to my dormitory. Because there were a lot of things to think about while spending time alone.
First of all, the one that attracts my attention the most is wizard level 10.
I couldn’t stand it because I was worried about the items of the new job I got while reaching the 5th rank.
I’m a former
I think it’s a little childish, but I feel like I’m playing a game, and I can see my progress, so I have to say that it makes me excited.
rattle.
I just arrived at my dormitory.
Arriving in front of the door on the 5th floor, I noticed something a little different.
This is because the belt that I had left in the crevice of the door on the floor was gone.
Someone else broke in.
「Calmly judge the situation!
You gain experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.
All job experience + 5”
Who is it?
Is it Elgar? Miss Mirna? Or is Stella Bellhawk back from somewhere?
I don’t know who it is, but you break into my room again at will. To prepare for an attack from an assassin or assassin, I took out my wand.
So, the door to profit finally opens.
On the bed sat Aira, no one else. I quickly put down the wand that was aimed at her, and I couldn’t help but panic.
“Ira-sama, what are you doing in my room again?”
Isn’t this the first time this has happened?
Then Aira looked at me with thin eyes.
“Tae-oh, where have you been and are you coming back now?”
Oh god!
