Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 306 - Episode Six

Chapter 306 - Episode Six

In a room at Lark’s mansion, I had summoned Lark and the Alchemists, using the authority of the Commander, for a meeting on future policy, and was holding a meeting to denounce the ambitions of the wicked witch Altamir, who has defied the ethics of the world by becoming a spirit through forbidden magic and living forever.
“That is to say, the price fluctuations of the above armor are centered in the fage territory, where it is said, “Is it stronger than Nalgarn’s scaled armor?”, It’s clear that this is a result of the Nalgarn shock, where the value of the armor fluctuates greatly based on whether there is anything that differentiates it from Nalgarn’s scaled armor.”
I tapped a piece of paper on the wall with my wand.
On the paper, there is a large illustration drawn by Mea.
An arrow leads from Nalgarn, whose eyes are marked with crosses, to a large amount of armor, which is destroying the existing armor.
“Of course. If Nalgarn’s scales go out and lose value, the value of all the armor and materials below it will drop even further. To be honest, no one wants it. I don’t want that garbage either. In my opinion, it will take three years for the market situation to return to normal. I’m sure that a lot of merchants already have their heads in the sand and are holding a grudge against Baron Lark.”
Next to me, Mea stood somewhat uncomfortably as I spoke.
I’m not sure if it’s because my eyes met Altamir’s, but I gave her a small wave.
She’s the enemy, you need to be a little more tense.
Altamir was also somewhat confused by Mea’s appearance, and waved back in a rather subdued and wavering manner.
The collector who had come to chill out was sitting at the very back of the room, behind the alchemists.
He was here as a visitor, but he probably didn’t intend to join the group in the slightest.
He just has a lot of time on his hands.
I wanted to make it a no-go zone for all concerned, but for some reason, the collectors were allowed to do pretty much anything in the territory, even though they hadn’t done anything in particular.
Oh, he just sneezed.
“What I’m trying to say is that if we mass produce the phantom copper Orichalcos armor here, it’s already an economic attack on other territories! The situation was unstoppable before, but now the Fage territory is stable. Why, when you’re also restricting the distribution of Nalgarn armor, did you decide to start manufacturing the phantom copper Orichalcos armor?”
I tapped my wand on the desk and spoke passionately.
“It’s too shallow. You’re not considering the impact on other territories. Alta-dono, you are using this territory to advance your own alchemy experiments, and even to throw the country into chaos, just because of your own desire for knowledge and exploration. That kind of thing is not appropriate for the policies of this, the Alchemist Division! Isn’t that right? Baron Lark!”
For the sake of justice, we can never allow Artamia’s tyranny to continue.
It’s my duty to stop the witch now that I’ve freed her from the seal of the tower.
Altamir is too dangerous. Originally, she was a witch who had been chased from the stage because of her obsession with research.
I should have suspected that she would run amok.
“I’m definitely not! Sulking because I was left out of a big project! I’m saying that this plan is going to cause a lot of misery for a lot of people!”
I told her.
I wiped the sweat off my face and glanced at Mea, who tilted her head for a moment, then clapped her hands and started clapping.
No, this wasn’t the place for that.
Lark crossed his arms in a complicated manner and looked at the diagram that Mea had drawn.
Many of the alchemists are looking at me with a “what the hell is he talking about” look.
The collector was asleep in the back. What did he come here for?
“Um …… did I say something wrong?”
What should I do?
How should I say it, the atmosphere was not what I wanted.
When it became quiet, I could hear the whispering voices of the members of the alchemist division.
“Private alchemy experiments, of all things, from the Commander ……”
“Commander, no matter what other people are doing, it probably looks like that to you, because you are like that too.”
“Alta-san, when I tried to hit him, my hand went crazy and I punched the mirror.”
“The way he said it, there’s a chance he doesn’t really realize it. Someone has to tell her. …… Rinoa! I’m sure Rinoa can handle …… it without getting in trouble!”
“He’s got results, he also contributes to the territory, so let him fit in as he sees fit. This is also the will of Lark-sama.”
“It’s not that different from Icarus, who was constantly tormenting Lark-sama with his past achievements.”
“Oh, no! The Commander is looking at me! In front, in front!”
The back of my eyes began to heat up.
I threw away my wand and fled the room, hiding my eyes.
Mea, who was standing beside me, was looking at my back in a daze, but a moment later she came after me.
“Oh, Commander Abel! It’s okay, I heard what you said!”
“I’m sorry, I was just kidding! Look, you dropped your wand!”
“Somebody get Abel-kun!”
“Maybe it’s best we don’t go after him! Let’s leave it to Mea!”
The collector, who should have been sleeping just a moment ago, was looking at me with a big smile on his face.
Satisfied, he sat up with ease. He is probably planning to leave the Lark mansion and go home.
Some of the alchemists and a Mea are following me.
“Watch out, the Commander has his hand in his sleeve! It’s a hidden wand!”
I use a spell to move the three Ortems that adorned the passage.
They leapt in front of the pursuers, blocking their steps.
I kept running in the meantime.
— Five minutes later, I was hiding in the warehouse, buried under the storage items, when the witch Altamir appeared to me.
“…… You know what? The timing may have been bad, but I’m not trying to take over or anything like that, okay?”
Altamir tapped me on the shoulder as I sat in a triangle.
As she looked into my face, I defended my dignity by burying my face in my own chest.
“…………”
When I was still silent, Altamir opened her mouth again.
“You see, I really liked the theory of the magic wave tower that you showed me before, but the lord refused it due to financial problems, right? I was trying to solve that problem in my own way but I left the territory right after that, so the timing happened to be weird.”
If you ask me, Altamir has shown an unexpected interest in my magic cellphone Magiphone.
When Lark rejected the idea because of financial difficulties, he seemed to have his hand up to his chin and was playing with money.
“A-, Altamir-san, …… I …… I ……!”
I looked up at Altamir with tears still in my eyes.
“Geez …… The girl was worried about you, let’s go. There’s no way I’m going to start something new without you because I’ll be less efficient without you. Besides, you’re not as shunned as you think you are.”
Altamir indicated the outside of the warehouse with her hand.
“Commander Abel! I’m starting to feel like carving an Ortem!”
I hear the members of the division looking for me.
I sip my nose and wipe my tears with my sleeve.
“Can I just hide here for a little while longer until I …… feel better?”
“…… What a troubling Commander. Do what you want, I’ll hide with you.”
I felt a little better about why Altamir was so popular, even though no one was following me.
“…… I’m sorry about that, I was being difficult.”
“The point is well taken. I’ve been putting it off for a while and haven’t worked it out yet. Let’s get the restrictions in place to reduce the market impact first.”
What is she, a saint?
She seems to have a halo over her.
“Um, Altamir-sa ……”
I was about to call out again when the door to the warehouse opened with great force.
“cough, cough …… Ahhhh, Abel-dono, I finally found you.”
It was Euris.
I was a little disappointed with the way she appeared, not reading the atmosphere at all.
“There’s another visitor for Abel-dono. It looks like he’s in a hurry …… so could you please come to my guest room right away?”
“I have a guest ……?”
When I tilted my head wondering who it was, I heard a voice outside.
“But, you see, Abel is in a naïve state right now …… If you could just wait in the guest room for a moment, we’ll bring him right back ……”
“Like I said, where’s Abel-chan! I don’t care if he’s naïve right now or not! I’m asking you where he is are! I’m in a real hurry! Don’t try to hide it from me!”
Lark’s persuasive voice was followed by a cursing queer voice.
“Oh, Peter-san ……”
“…… Peter?”
Altamir frowned suspiciously.
Peter’s face peered at us through the warehouse door that Euris had opened.
“Look, so you’re here! Abel, something terrible has happened… Hmm?”
Peter and Altamir’s eyes met.
” “Why are you here ……?” “
The voices of the two came together beautifully.
