Tanka complained to me, she was angry that this house was neglected. You can see lots of cracked walls, old furniture, and a non-luxurious garden. As she recalled, Sanktessy's house had a beautiful view. I responded with a laugh. It can't be helped, this is the reality.
Time eats up everything.
I'm even more curious about what Tanka brought from Redvet. I haven't asked Redvet, because only now has she brought out what she was under.
In my room, she put all the plants on the table. There was a kind of plant like a turnip with two winding sides with brown leaves, then like red berries, and grasses of various kinds.
"Hmmm …." I let out a voice involuntarily as I watched her. Tanka's little back looks like a squirrel, moreover she is so enthusiastic about her magical plants.
"Look how adorable they are," she flaunts. I noticed again. To my eyes they look like weeds.
"Isn't Akion amazed?" she asked a little forcefully. "I just look at it like an ordinary plant." I plopped down on the couch, letting my fingers flip through the sheets of newspaper one by one.
Tanka looked annoyed, she put down the newspaper I was reading in response to the conversation about magical herbs. I sighed.
"Okay, explain to me."
"You really want to know?" Her eyes shone. I nodded lazily. I know characters like Tanka, she's like a kid.
"Really?"
"This is a plant that can help you."
"So you really want to know what this is?" I squinted at his coercion, which made me feel like I was the one forcing him to tell.
"I really want to know what it is, Tanka," I replied with artificial enthusiasm. She flew once around my room, golden powder falling from her brown wings.
"You won't regret it!" Tanka stopped near a radish-like plant, she pointed at it with a burning face.
"This is the devil's feet." Wow, what a great name for a plant like radish. "Devil feet can be used to treat even strong black magic."
I remembered something, it's like a magic movie I watched. Should I study herbology?
"Of course with other elements. But without these devil feet, you wouldn't be able to make that great magic potion. This is a step plant that can buy a house!"
Hearing her words, my body immediately responded quickly, leaning in awe at the devil's feet. It can buy a house, isn't this plant amazing?
"You only took one?" point me at the devil's feet. Tanka shook her head.
"I took three!" She exclaimed excitedly while laughing, I laughed too.
"Come on Akion, you just got excited after knowing the price" Tanka looked at me sarcastically.
Money is important everywhere. Although money is not brought to death, it is able to bring you alive.
"That's human." I'm whiny.
"Why don't you take more of this?"
"Oh Akion, you are so greedy," she mocked.
"Getting just one we are very lucky," he lamented. I nodded. I agree, this is the reason why Madaf chose to live there. Lots of magic herbs.
If they knew Tanka took a magical plant step there, how would they react?
"Then you want to make the potion now?"
"No. I need other ingredients. Like phoenix fur, white rhino hooves and other things."
"It's been a long journey,"
''Just think about it, how much do you think this potion would cost if the price of just one ingredient could buy a house?"
I gripped my sofa tightly thinking about Tanka's words. That must have been a fantastic price.
"It seems you understand now."
"Let's go hunting!"
I shouted loudly. Bastian entered my room in a hurry, she must have misunderstood my scream.
"It's okay," I said, motioning him out.
**
After knowing all the uses and costs of the magical herbs that Tanka collected, I felt like I was too cruel to silence her yesterday. Meeting Tanka was a lucky streak. She knows my family's treasures, she can use magic, and she knows how to make potions and step herbs.
Even if I recruit a few people, there's no way it will be as good as Tanka at this.
Besides promising to collect the materials that Tanka needed, I also promised to beautify the Sanktessy garden. As a land elf, she prefers to live in nature.
After the blue moon no longer appeared, the weather became a little hot. Shaved ice has been prepared in front of us. There was the man with the corn-like hair, Verion, then Levian and Tanka.
We eat shaved ice in the hot air. All this time, Verion didn't know about Tanka. I haven't allowed it, and Tanka also feels uncomfortable showing her form. To my surprise with her cheerful demeanor, Tanka is a fairly alert elf, who doesn't easily trust anyone.
"The letter has been sent, lord Akion." A soldier reported to me. I sent a warrant for Hayd, at Aurus. I also want progress information.
To return to Aurus, I have no time left. They will get help too. At least a week from now the help will reach them.
I'm not worried about that, Marquis Kingston is a person who keeps his word. Moreover, his only child is here. What worries me more is on the other side.
The other party who had always wanted to eliminate Sanktessy. They must have gotten some news regarding me helping Marquis Kingston.
"Akion, give me your strawberries," I glanced at Tanka who was holding a strawberry on the tip of my spoon. I feed the strawberry into her mouth, she eats with a happy face.
Verion was busy paying attention to another angle. He looked curiously. It's the part of my house that's covered in big curtains inside. The curtains twitched, someone was hiding behind them.
The dress is blue, with simple but cute looking lace. The only one dressed cutely like that was Renia. Every now and then she would peek at us, watching her with jealousy. When she noticed I saw her and smiled, she hurriedly pulled the curtains roughly.
"She's my sister." A short explanation for the curious Verion.
I stood up from the chair. My long legs walked faster and faster when I realized that Renia wanted to run away after knowing I was coming for her.
But, my quick steps stopped her. Her face was as nervous as someone caught stealing. Her smile was forced stiffly. Nami greets me. She stood quietly beside the transfixed Renia.
"Would you like to eat shaved ice with your brother?" Asking what she was doing would hurt a girl's self-esteem. The only way is to act as if you don't know, and toss the conversation first.
"Hot weather like this is very nice to eat shaved ice. Especially if accompanied by my sweet sister." I smile. Seeing my smile, Renia blushed. He nodded in agreement.
I balance the small steps. It's very different when I walk alone. The surroundings seemed to be turning a little slower, and I could tell that the wind was blowing pleasantly.
Levian stood up, without my orders, he had prepared one extra seat for Renia. Verion also stood up, with his friendly demeanor, he introduced himself first.
"I am Verion Kingston. Sweet lady, what's your name?"
Renia looked at me when she found out her name was Kingston. Her eyes seemed to speak, "Is he from the Marquis Kingston family?"
I nodded confirming what she was thinking. She hastily picked up excellent greeting etiquette. The Marquis was a person who was of a higher level than the Baron.
She seemed afraid of looking wrong and embarrassing the Sanktessy family.
"Don't be nervous, lady. I am here under Master Akion's tutelage. So the lady's position is higher than mine."
Verion is humble. Even with her humility, Renia still felt uneasy.

"Wow, your sister looks like a golden lily," Tanka looked closely at Renia's face. I move my hand so that Tanka doesn't get too close and disturb Renia.
"What's wrong, sis?" Renia, who was eating her shaved ice, stopped because of my movement just now.
"Brother saw insects." After I convinced Renia, I glared at Tanka. She didn't bother with my gaze, and was still busy talking.
"From your expression, you must have never seen a golden Lily, right?"
I nodded slowly.
"Too bad. The golden lily is a step flower, it is very beautiful. When the moon is golden, the golden lily will shine very brightly. Even if it's the whole body."
The extraordinary knowledge of the land elf. I've always been in awe of her. Are all fairies as dedicated as she is? Who knows. She's the only fairy I've ever met.
"Although the golden lily of the step, Caesar has a large plot of a golden lily garden." She's proud.
"What about now?" I decided to use telepathy.
"I don't know where the golden lily is. Maybe the world keeps changing, there's always something changing."
"However, it would be a pity if the golden lily was lost. There is no prettiest flower in my opinion than the golden lily," she lamented.
The only thing that popped into my mind was an ordinary picture of a golden lily. Nothing too special apart from the different colors. I responded by nodding. There's nothing I can change if it's been hundreds of years.
"Brother what are you thinking?" Renia hesitated to touch me. That soft helpless touch was so obvious that she hesitated.
"Some call you the golden lily." I smile. Slowly, Renia accepted my new habit. She wasn't too surprised to see her second brother smiling.
The stiff face turned into a face full of expression. To my surprise, Renia turned out to be quite good at studying.
"Golden lily is a very beautiful flower. I can't compare to that." Her face reddened. I knew she was happy to receive the compliment, but she was also embarrassed.
"You know about the golden lily?" She looked at me surprised.
"It's in the botanical book. I read it in my spare time."
She seemed to be aware that not everyone knew about the golden lily. Verion, Levian, and I, neither of them knew. However, an eight year old girl was able to figure it out, meaning she was quite knowledgeable.
"Your sister will make a great botanist." Tanka watched my sister's fingers. I followed her watching Renia's fingers, there were a few small scratches on her hands.
"Do you like gardening?"
Renia again hesitated to answer my question. Gardening was a lowly hobby for nobles, that was the thought of the people here. I don't think so. See, it looks like Renia isn't messing with her hobby.
"I was once told to do what you want. Nothing will happen." I gently stroked his head.
Renia nodded, "Yes, I like it." I smiled at the answer. Besides me, it seems that my father also knows Renia's hobbies.
She freed Renia to do her hobby. Not surprisingly, in the southern part of the Baron's garden, there is a greenhouse that is quite well maintained. It must be Renia.
"What do you want?" I looked straight at her, giving her reassurance.
"Renia wants to be a really great botanist." Her reddened cheeks, downcast face, as well as her fingers being played with, she seemed to doubt herself.
I grabbed her by the shoulder, I put my face on her right ear, and said, "Renia will be a very great botanist, even in the Xellim continent."
she looked at me sadly, I saw Levian and Verion watching us. A small order of mine that I described in my expression, was conveyed to them.
"Lady must be a really great botanist!" They are both together. I smiled in relief, and gave her confidence again.
"As long as Renia doesn't give up and keeps trying, Renia will become a very great botanist. Look at your brother, becoming a very great swordsman.
Of course Renia would be the greatest botanist. Because our blood is the same. Renia jumped up and hugged me. This is her honest treatment of me. I hugged her back. Her small shaking shoulders, tomorrow will become stronger and stronger. A great man will be reborn from the Sanktessy family.
