[Episode 153]
“Aagh!”
puck!
puck!
puck!
I screamed and plowed hard. Oops I’m annoyed I don’t know why the ground is so stony.
‘Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa’
As I was diligently removing and throwing stones with a plow, sweat poured down like rain.
My legs were shaking and I felt like my eyes were spinning, and I was short of breath.
‘There won’t be a dragon with no stamina like this.’
I should have exercised beforehand.
Does anyone know that even dragons can lack exercise?
“He was a really bad person.”
I murmured softly as I leaned over with the plow driven into the ground.
As I tried to stay still, I remembered the scene right before I parted ways with the dragon named Purple yesterday.

“What is your request…?”
“How simple is that? All you have to do is find something on this list and bring it to me.”
She handed me the paper. I looked at the paper and frowned.
It was something I had never heard of before, but it didn’t seem like it would be too difficult to get it if I wanted to.
“Can I just get this?”
“Yeah, just get this. step!”
she laughed.
“The condition is that you must not use the dragon’s abilities.”
“yes?”
“And do it all yourself. Even if you use magic, you shouldn’t blackmail someone to get something, and you shouldn’t scare someone with magic.”
My shoulders stiffened. It was an unexpected condition. When I blinked in embarrassment, she laughed.
“If it’s difficult, you can always give up and go along with me.”
“I will… I will.”
If that’s the only way, what should I do?
“okay? Then after you’re done, call my name. Then I will appear in front of you.”
“all right.”
“Are you moving for humans?”
Just before disappearing, Purple asked me that at the end. I nodded slowly, even though I had a puzzled expression on my face.
“I have been like that too.”
She said.
“But we didn’t know the breakup. I didn’t know that when the end comes and the end comes, I will be the only one left in the world.”
“….”
“Associating with humans is not something I would recommend.”
“…It’s nothing to worry about, senior.”
I gave a short answer to Purple’s words and turned around. When I looked back, she was already gone.
* * *
Freed from my short thoughts, I let out a deep sigh. I took out the list she suggested.
Even though it was folded and unfolded crumpled, there was not a single crease in the paper. It was clear that something had been enchanted.
[- Fresh green radish grown in land acidity 5.6-5.8. 500 harvested at 6 am when the morning dew has just arrived.
– 1 ton of blue iron from Tian Maple.
– Verdant Mirror.
– Unripe and overripe fruit of white Granpurus.
– Dragon’s orb.
– The tears of the snow leopard living in the Red Mine.]
I crumpled the paper in anger that was rising again.
Although it was difficult, it was not usually difficult. I was worried that I would have to go through all the books because I didn’t even know what they were.
‘No, where can I find out if I do this?’
I couldn’t throw away five hundred years.
No one will live five hundred years. So I didn’t want to waste this precious time.
It’s a precious time that can only come once in the world.
“Hey there…”
While I was plowing hard, several servants who had been hanging around for a while came to me hesitantly.
Not too long ago, Laurent also insisted on me to do it, so I was about to send him to do something else.
“miss.”
“huh?”
“If you need such dirty work, we can do it for you.”
“No, I will.”
I have to.
“Are you worried? thank you.”
As she smiled, the maid’s face flushed red. She wiggled her fingers in embarrassment and licked her lips.
“Still… the field is too large, so it must be difficult to do it alone.”
I had to plant 500 strange radishes, so of course it had to be wide.
If you think that you are adding 100 in case it is broken, this field will be tight.
“I have to do it alone. That’s a promise.”
I wiped the sweat dripping down with the back of my hand and started plowing again.
“Then can you help us pick out some stones…?”
Seeing him restless with a tear-stained face made me feel bad.
‘Does it look like something is bothering me?’
I was hated even if I wasn’t, but thinking that my score would be reduced here made me feel quite sick.
“I have to do this…”
As long as it is not known how much the dragon considers the help of others, it would be better to at least do everything necessary for cultivation.
“Then would it be all right if I removed some of the stones you threw outside and brought me some food or water?”
“Ah yes. I think that will be fine.”
When I nodded, the restless faces straightened up.
‘Is it because I’m afraid I’ll get cut off?’
Well, I thought that the householder might be frightened if he didn’t do anything while he was working.
‘This is why employers are in trouble.’
I left the people who were somewhat busy and started diligently digging the ground again with the plow.
‘What is acidity between 5.6 and 5.8…’
I heard that there is an acidity meter among magic tools.
“Ah… I can’t do it anymore.”
After the stone-cleaning maids had brought us water and a light snack, we continued to work for about an hour.
And that was my limit. My limbs were trembling so much that I couldn’t move a single step.
‘Couldn’t this also be treated with magic?’
You really want to tell me, right?
I hope I didn’t mean to bother you.
Even so, he would have been unable to do anything other than accept her offer after all.
I was about to walk with trembling legs like a newborn deer, but my body tilted sharply at the moment.
“evil!”
Fall down.
The moment I closed my eyes tightly, an outstretched arm gripped me tightly.
“dad?”
“It’s not…”
I opened my eyes wide and raised my head.
“…Uncle Cruneau?”
“okay.”
“Wow, why does it seem like I haven’t seen you in such a long time?”
The strength in the body was released, and laughter naturally flowed out. When I tilted my head, Uncle Cruneau’s forehead cracked.
“…no kids today?”
“I am doing well. He also gave birth to a baby.”
Chuno Etam said calmly. When I smiled, he took me into his arms.
“I can walk!”
“really?”
Crono Etham asked mischievously.
“Um, not really.”
I shrugged and just leaned into his arms.
“Wow, when did you become so strong? You are carrying me.”
I don’t know where the stamina tester who couldn’t chase me just by running went.
“I should be a little different.”
He speaks and walks slowly. His composure was visible beneath his smirk.
Blinking my eyes silently, I stretched out my arms and hugged my uncle’s neck.
“What else are you doing? It’s a troublemaker.”
“I am not working. My uncle will do whatever I do.”
“…that’s crazy.”
I pursed my lips at the sound of a snoring voice. it’s too much
“Is this something I have to shoulder alone again?”
There was more concern than laughter in his voice. I looked at him quietly and kept my mouth shut.
“It’s not like that.”
“That seems to be the case.”
“Are you sure you don’t believe me too much? I hate your uncle.”
“If I can help you because I’m hated, I’d rather do that.”
My eyes widened at Uncle Chuneau’s words. The corners of his lips parted. There are so many people who give for me, so I want to work hard too.
“Is it dangerous?”
“Not at all. It’s a nuisance.”
“Can’t you lean on it?”
“Yeah, I couldn’t wait. Otherwise, I would have rushed to my uncle and my dad to help.”
When I raised my voice and made an exaggerated face, Cruneau Etam smiled.
“i get it.”
I arrived at the door in no time. My uncle sat me down on the bed and reached out and pressed my head.
“If you need any help, let me know anytime. Because you are always on the edge and anxious.”
“yes.”
“And yet recklessly trying to do it alone.”
“Stop nagging.”
My uncle frowned as I covered my ears.
“Don’t work today, get some rest.”
“yes.”
“Oh right. uncle. Tian Maple’s blue iron, verdant mirror, pure white Granpurus, do you know of any snow leopards living in the Red Mine?”
Uncle Cruneau’s expression became slightly sharper as he listened to the story. As he was about to leave, he looked back at me.
