Yuri Empire

Chapter 27: The Choice of Water Lilies

[3]

How is the monster Destroyer?

Its good. We have already started to subdue monsters in the forest as well as on the flat ground. The level of monsters is still low, so we havent had a hard time.

Forest huh By the way, there was a vast forest on the north side of the place where we were first stationed.

Yes, that is exactly the forest I mentioned. It seems to be a place where many monsters in the shape of deer and snakes inhabit, and now we have a large amount of materials from there.

Yuri spends time in the office even after finishing work in the morning.

This is because the appointment for a visit is waiting after this. While enjoying the tea and baked sweets that Nadeshiko prepared a while ago, she will hear from Kiri about the recent destroyer situation.

Ive never eaten venison I wonder what it tastes like.

Euro of Rindo, who cooked and tasted it immediately, said that the redness of the meat is deeper and the taste is quite rich compared to the meat of Axhorn. It can be eaten deliciously regardless of the cooking method. She said that the meat is very tender and has less fat, so it seems to be good for women.

Oh, thats nice. Depending on the amount secured, it may be good to start offering to stalls early.

Shall I ask Nadeshiko to check and report the stockpile?

Well, please.

It has been reported that all the stalls operating in the three open spaces in the city of Nildea are very successful. It seems that the appearance of customers never ceases.

If the types of meat offered increased, the range of dishes would increase. Since it is a stall that only serves meat dishes, it is desirable to have as many variations as possible.

However, in this world, the meat of the snake monster is more expensive and in high demand than the deer monster.

Is that so?

Yes. I heard that Euro had already tasted it, but the taste and texture are very similar to chicken. However, it has a lot of bones and it takes a lot of time to cook.

It sounds like it doesnt have a very good side. Why is it so expensive ?

I wonder?

Apparently, Kiri doesnt know the reason. When they were talking about that, the door of the office was knocked twice.

Come in

Yuri intentionally raised her voice a little and called out to the other side of the door.

Excuse me

Then, a girl with white twin wings on her back entered the room alone, with the same quiet movement as four days ago. Sera,the captain of the Suiren (Water Lily) unit.

Yuri-sama, Im sorry for taking the time for us today.

Okay, Sera. Its only natural to have time for your loved ones.

Im honored.

Yuri had promised to meet Sera in front of her.

Yuri immediately agreed to Seras request, which she had announced in the guild chat this morning, saying that she would like to talk about the other days vocation.

Its a continuation of the other days story. Is there any conclusion?

Yes.

Sera nods to Yuris question while looking straight at her. The color of hesitation cannot be seen in the eyes, only a will.

We, water lilies, will try to receive a vocation from the gods of this world.

Yes, I understand. I respect what you have decided on your own initiative.

Thank you, Yuri-sama

Im just asking one question. Isnt there an option to switch the object of worship to the god of this world while maintaining the current occupation (class)?

Water lily, which was good at sacred magic, lost their power because it was the god of Leangard who was originally the object of worship of them, and the divine power does not reach the world where they are now.Uptodated from n0v𝒆lbIn.(c)o/m

In other words, even if they do not imitate their current occupation (class), if they convert to the god of this world, it seems possible that they can use sacred magic again.

Yes, Yuri-sama. Of course we thought about that possibility, but

Im sorry I said something extra. Please forget it.

Yuri said so apologizing before listening to Seras reply.

Forget the belief in God so far and believe in another god. Yuri can say that because she is not the person concerned.

The profession of water lilies is the highest priesthood <Saint (Adela)>, and it will take a considerable amount of faith to reach that point. Its not easy to convert further now.

I dont think its superfluous at all. Yuri-sama always takes us very seriously. Everyone in the water lilies understands it correctly.

So? then thank you. Im glad.

Yuri said so with a smile. Sera also bowed deeply, saying, Thank you very much.

If we want the vocation of this world, we can lose our occupation (class).

Its just a possibility, so its possible that you wont lose it, or conversely, its impossible to get a vocation. You cant understand this unless you try it.

Okay

In that case, of course, the first child to get a vocation will be at the highest risk. Thats why Sera, perhaps youre thinking of applying for that first test.

Yes, youre right.

Unfortunately, thats not acceptable. Youre the commander of the Water Lilies. I dont make a difference between my beloved children, but theres a decent responsibility for the position.

Select 3 people who will get the first vocation from water lilies. However, except you and Coral, Lapis, and Spinel.

Coral, Lapis, and Spinel are all children who act as deputy directors of water lilies.

As long as we dont know what the consequences of getting a vocation will be, we cant put the risk on not only the captain Sera but also the three deputy captains.

I understand. I will be elected soon.

You dont have to hurry. Im waiting while slowly preparing to go out.

After telling that, Yuri sees Seras back as she leaves the office.

The effort of having to select a subordinate to be the test body would be considerable. Still, this was a task that had to be done by Sera, the commander of the unit.

Sera-dono is also in a difficult position.

Kiri, who also saw off Sera, muttered a little sadly.

Kiri is in the position of deputy director of Sakuraka. Although there is a difference between the captain and the deputy captain, are there any feelings between those who are in a position to take responsibility?

What would Kiri do if she lost her profession (class) and lost all her sword talent?

Me, me? Yeah, thats right

Kiri was worried about her head for a while while leaking her voice.

Eventually, after sighing one sigh, Kiri answered quietly.

Still I think Ill probably keep swinging my sword. No matter how weak and childish I can swing my sword. I wont aim for another myself.

Yes. Kiri is strong.

No, the opposite. Im weak. After all, theres nothing else I can do except wielding the sword.

Telling that, Kiri smiled with a troubled expression.

The ones who are really strong are the water lilies. For the sake of helping the lord, they are willing to abandon themselves and be reborn as a new self that fits this world.

I see, that might be the case.

Yuri nodded, as Kiris words seemed to make sense.

The person who can change the way of life is stronger. That would also be the truth.

Hey, Kiri. Im sorry, but I wonder if I can use the children of Water Lilies tonight.

Please do so. We will often be comforted by the love of your lord. And since the order will only shift the next day, I will not lose anything.

Is that so?

Yes. Dont you know? Article four of the Love Regulations states, If Yuri-sama nominated herself for the love duty, the person in charge of love duty will move the scheduled date to the next day, it was like that.

I dont know who took the lead in making the regulations. For the time being, I strongly urge them to submit the full text of those regulations that I have never heard until today.

I understand. Im sure Ill tell Hera.

So Hera was the main culprit, Yuri sighed.

Hera, the captain of Shirayuri (Estia), is a serious child, for better or for worse. It was a problem that the seriousness was accidentally exerted in the wrong direction like this regulation.
