Chapter 148: 149

Chapter 149 - Egg Distribution

"Hey, kid. You got a minute?"

"What's the matter, old man?"

"No, it's been happening for a while, but lately it's become more and more apparent. I'm still okay, but I thought I'd let you know before it becomes a problem."

"Hmm? What are you talking about? What do you mean, what's going on?"

"Oh, sorry. What I'm talking about is that the price of Familiar Eggs has been going up lately. They're getting harder and harder to come by."

"Familiar Eggs? That's a problem because the Valkyries are still trying to increase their numbers."

"Right? The price has been going up slowly for a while, but recently it's been going up higher, quicker. Even then, the number of buyers is increasing, so it's getting harder to get them."

"I didn't know that at all because I entrusted it to you. That means you have to do something about it."

"Don't say that, kid. You're the one who has to deal with the problem of not being able to get the eggs. Besides, you're one of the reasons why the price is going up in the first place."

"I'm the reason? Don't lie to me, old man. I haven't done anything."

"Don't say you didn't do anything!"

　We've expanded north of Barcania to create a ranch area.

　I've got a Valkyrie and goats there.

　In particular, a horned Valkyrie.

　If anything happens, the Valkyrie will use [Shotgun], and the goats will behave quietly.

　When I finished building the ranch, the merchant ojiisan came to talk to me.

　He seemed to be talking about the eggs of the Familiars.

　The price of the eggs has been going up lately.

　He said that I was the reason for the price increase.

"Listen, kid. We've been buying them for years now. Just the fact that we've been buying so many of them would normally raise the price. The supply itself hasn't changed that much."

"Well, that may be true."

"But it's been spurred on by the success of your Valkyries."

"My Valkyries are selling well?"

"Yes. A lot of people found out about the Valkyries' activities on the battlefield. Not only the Fontana army led by Raymond-sama, but the Valkyrie cavalry also achieved great results against the Uruk army. Seeing this, more and more people decided to try to raise their own Valkyries."

".... But there have always been such types of Familiars, haven't there? And if that's the case, I think it's possible to raise the selling price of the hornless Valkyries even more."

"What are you talking about? It's well known that we don't sell magic-using horned Valkyries. What the people want are the Demon-type Familiar that can be used on the battlefield, with horns. Of course, there are buyers who don't need the horns, too."

"I see. In other words, since I don't sell Valkyries with horns, they thought they could produce them themselves, and the demand for the Valkyrie eggs increased."

"That's what I think. And this story is not limited to the Fontana Territory. I've heard that this is happening in other noble territories as well."

"In other words, the price of the eggs has gone up in the distribution stage to reach Fontana territory... Is it possible that there are restrictions on their sale? Do people not want too many Barcan Valkyries to be spread around?"

"I don't know. Maybe it hasn't gotten to that point yet, but I can't say there's no way it won't."

　That's it.

　I was fine with being active on the battlefield itself, but I didn't expect it to affect me in this way.

　It seems that the world is experiencing an unprecedented boom in Familiars, and they're competing with my Valkyries.

　It might be a bad idea to leave this problem unattended.

　To put it bluntly, the strongest force in the Barcan Knights' Domain is the Valkyrie Calvary.

　Their high mobility alone makes them great weapons.

　However, that doesn't mean that the current situation is fine.

　If I were to be greedy, I would like to increase the number of Valkyries.

　In fact, I'd like to have a calvary with more than 1,000, like the Kima Cavalry in Uruk.

"I've been wanting to ask you about this for a while now, but how do you get the Familiar Eggs?"

"Oh, Familiar Eggs are produced by a certain Familiar. There's a Familiar that produces Familiar Eggs, is what I mean in a simpler way."

"A Familiar that produces Familiar eggs? Unlike a Valkyrie, there is a creature that produces eggs..."

"Yes. I've been told that they're also Demon-type, though. I've heard that they use a magic called 「Spawning」.

"I've never heard of that magic before. But if there is such a beast, can't we just buy it and have it lay eggs so we don't have to buy other eggs again?"

"That's impossible, of course. They're so tightly controlled that if you try to take them out, you'll be caught and you'll never make it out alive."

"That's true. I am still confused, though."

　I didn't know that the eggs of Familiars were like that.

　I've never paid any attention to them because the old man used to bring them to me.

　But it would be a big problem if they were no longer available.

　I'll have to do something about it.

　There's still time to do something.

"All right, old man, get me as many beast eggs as you can get your hands on right away."

"What are you going to do, kid?"

"'What are you going to do, kid?' - I was just wondering if there is a creature that produces Familiar Eggs, could we recreate it? That's what I'm trying to do."

"Recreate an Egg-Laying Familiar? That's impossible. You think no one's ever tried that before?"

"Well, let's give it a try. Anyway, I want you to collect as many Familiar Eggs as you can."

　Thus, I decided to take steps to get a steady supply of Familiar Eggs.

 

 

CadmarLegend Hello~

Ah, before you kill me here, I want to just say a few final words. First of all, no. This series isn't dropped. Me and editor-san have just been really busy IRL. I am taking on editor-san's part as well for now. Sorry if there is any devalue in editing. I just realized how long it takes to edit my pre-edited translations... Second, no. This isn't all of the releases that I want to release. I am working on releasing at least 30 chapters at once before the first full week of January. Then, I want to do some consistent 1~2 chapter per day releases for a few weeks after that. Third, I'm just releasing these chapters because I felt bad about not giving updates to readers. But don't worry! There won't be another 1.9-month gap between updates again! I promise on my integrity as a translator! Well... that integrity is pretty sad so... ahem. You heard none of that, got it? NEXT!  To appease any readers still sticking around! I will give the option to sponsor chapters and make sure that they get translated in time! And actually, it's all for free. You can just send me nuffies (a currency that the Novel Updates Forums uses but is worth nothing) to my profile at Novel Updates Forum.  Just to clarify, anyone can do this as long as they register for an account at Novel Updates forum and converse about web novels they've been reading recently, post some general thoughts, and stuff like that. You can just post threads or messages on threads and you automatically get nuffies added to your account. These nuffies can be traded and sent to people. You can also use these nuffies to 'buy' yourself stuff like icons, increased like limits, and other fun things~ They are worth nothing in real life. So don't worry you'll be getting scammed or something. Of course, you don't need to do anything. I'll release chapters normally. But, if you really, really, really want to read a chapter (especially if the translations left off with a cliffhanger) you can go and sponsor a chapter to do it~!
