“They said that the dead Noanoke’s son was crazy . He was looking for a reclaimed site for Spinel, touched the holy tree, was cursed and died . ”
“But they said it could all be rumors . ”
“What do you mean?”
“In fact, Noanoke’s child was intelligent . At an early age, he became the head of the Senate . Why would he go crazy?”
I’ve heard such rumors clearly in society .
‘I don’t know if it’s real, but it’s worth checking . ’
It is okay to call out the soul with Boone’s abilities, but it is a waste to use the devil abilities that way .
‘He knows his son best . ’
I decided to trust the chairman .
***
The next day, I put my hands on the wall at the corner of the corridor and looked around .
The meeting lasted from yesterday and barely ended just a moment ago .
I watched the vassals rushing out, but there was no chairman in sight .
‘That means he’s still in the conference room . ’
Sure enough, the chairman was walking from the end of the hall as expected .
I ran to him with a happy look on my face .
“Gwandfather!”
“… . Little miss, why did you come all the way here?”
“To see gwandfather . ”
“Me?”
He looked at me, narrowing down the middle of his forehead .
“You helped Blaine yesterday . I’m gwoing to say thank you . ”
I blurted out the words to him, talking as childish as I could .
He stared at me and opened his mouth .
“There’s no need to . ”
“Why?”
I asked him in amazement, and he laughed .
“You lwook so sad, pwease take this . ”
This was the most delicious chocolate even in the candy room that the Duke made . I ate many of it, and there’s only one chocolate left, I let it go .
“Then, shawe with Bwaine . ” (Then, share with Blaine . )
“You don’t have to . ”
“But you’we skinny, the othew gwanpa has big stomach . ” (But you’re skinny, the other grandpa has big stomach . )
“… . . ”
“I’m wowwied . ” (I’m worried . )
Although she had a sneaky intention, it was true she was worried because he was so thin .
The chairman’s wife left the world early, and his only son also followed her years ago .
Though there were servants in the mansion, no one would have cared for his health with genuine concern .
Maybe that’s why he looks so skinny .
In addition to that, other vassals said he skipped meals because he’s busy with meetings several times .
I took off the wrapping paper of the chocolate, cut it in half, and held it out to him .
The chairman’s eyes glanced at the chocolate for a moment .
Soon, the chairman received the chocolate from me and asked carefully .
“That’s sweet . It’s been years since I’ve had this . I’ve tasted it a few times while my son was alive . ”
‘Yes! Tell me more about your son!’
I quickly talked to him .
“I know . Hwis name is Louis, wight?”
“How do you know my son?”
“He’s vewy smart . Lwike Henly and Isaac . ”
“Yes . My son went to the academy at the same age as the brothers . ”
This has set the stage for the topic I want .
The chairman seemed happy to talk about his son . Because no one would have asked about his son .
The chairman is as terrifying as the Duke of Dubbled . No one would have gone to chat casually with him . I talk to him under the pretext of seeing the chairman off and asked him about his son in detail .
“Henwy is good at math, Isyac is good at swowdmanship . What is Louis good at?”
“My son did geology research in college . It’s to examine the nature of the land . ”
“I see . ”
“He wasn’t interested in family affairs or politics . I didn’t like it . So I’ve been pushing him a lot…”
The chairman’s eyes were moist .

Most of the parents who sent their children first regretted it like this .
“He would’ve live more happily if I hadn’t pushed him . ”
I held his hand slightly because I felt sorry for him .
“No . Louis loves his fwater . ”
“How does the little miss know that?”
“Because Bwaine doesn’t have a mom and dad, so I know . ”
I answered casually .
“If the kids with mom and dad fall down, thwey can call their pawents . The kids who don’t have it can’t . That’s really sad . ”
“…… . ”
“Blaine didn’t have anyone to miss . But Louis have . It’s bwetter to have a mom and dad thwan nothing . ”
I looked at the chairman .
“Grandpa loves Louis so much, so Louis loves you vewy much too . ”
The chairman’s hand that being held by my hand was strained .
‘Oh, no, this isn’t the time . ’
I have to ask about the spinel .
I waved a hand to the chairman, who is staring at me blankly .
“If Louis stwudied the land, do you know what kwind of land the gems are made from?”
“Yes . He said he found the spinel landfill . It was because he was in a carriage accident while on the way to check it . If it wasn’t for that, he would have found it . ”
“By the way, people say Louis lied… . ”
When I asked carefully, the chairman’s eyes were distorted .
“The carriage accident destroyed all the data he had, and I just can’t prove it . ”
“I see . ”
“Yes, I still can’t forget my son’s expression who was happy to find Spinel’s landfill . ”
The chairman was a man who put reason before emotion .
If such a person can answer so firmly, he must be convinced that Louis Noanoke really found the landfill .
‘Then all I have to do is hear it from him myself . ’
***
That night .
I lay in bed pretending to be asleep, and only after Lea left the room, I sneak out of bed .

I looked at my surrounding .
‘All right, there’s no one . ’
I caught Etwal and said to myself,
‘Boone, emerge as a human . ’
Then a glimmer of light gathered around Etwal in several curves, and a bouquet appeared before my eyes .
I smiled brightly as I looked with eyes full of anticipation .
“Have ywo been waiting lwong for the jewels?”
“Waiting is fun . ”
He tapped me lightly on the cheek with his fingertips… .
I took out the goddess’s tears which was hiding in my pocket and held them out to him .
Boone looked at the jewel in my hand Then he put his hand on his forehead with the jewels very carefully .
“Finally, my master…”
‘Master?’
I blinked in confusion but Boone bent down and said,
“You have granted my wishes, so I will grant your wish as well . Now, what’s your wish?”
“Cwall Noanoke’s son . ” (Call Noanoke’s son . )
Boone’s eyes are looking at me gently .
He kissed me lightly around the eye . At the moment, my head went spinning . I felt like I was hurting all over .
The white moonlight that came through the window broke down along with the outline of the Boone . Soon he faded away .
[Someday, little miss… when in need…… Let’s meet again . ]
A friendly voice flowed through the room .
And what I saw in front of me–
“Little miss, I’m here . ”
It was a chubby man with a bald head .
‘Huuuhh?’
I blinked in astonishment .
I was looking at him, wondering if he was really Noanoke‘s son . Then, he said while scratching his head .
“I’m Louis Noanoke . I came under your command . ”
“Boone, have only just gwo…?”

“There is a completely different flow of time between that place and this place . It may be a very long time for me, but it may be a blink of an eye for you . ”
When he said so, he asked with an embarrassed look .
“Are you disappointed? Most of the people have that look the first time they met me . ”
“No, I’m not disswapointed . I’m just suwprised . ”
The chairman is a handsome man who has a sleek appearance and an elegant atmosphere .
But Louis Noanoke has a gentle bear aura .
“You look a bit diffewent, but it’s similar if I lwook at you more . ”
Louis Noanoke smile at my words .
“Thank you . But why did you find me?”
“Louis, you know well abwout Spinel, don’t you?”
Then his eyes twinkled at once .
“Yes! Spinel on this continent is special . Unlike Spinel elsewhere, it’s possible to carry the divine power . I did some research to see if it was because of the difference in the environment . At first, I compared the density of the soil, and this is really interesting!”
He then lined up a series of difficult explanations . I’ve been listening to his story for nearly a dozen minutes, and I have no idea what he’s talking about .
“Jwust to the point!”
“Ah… . The habit that my father hated came out again . ”
He smiled and scratched his head .
“The conclusion is that there’s a Spinel mine but no landfill . ”
“What?”
I opened my eyes in amazement .
“There is no place in the world where the spinel itself is buried . It’s just a natural metamorphosis . ”
He said with his three fingers up
“There are three conditions: a volcano, an Elsa tree habitat, and a divine power . ”
“……”
“In places that fit these three, the rock is transformed into spinel with a certain probability . ”
Oh my god .
So you’re saying that if you just bury the rock in the ground, you’ll be able to generate Spinel indefinitely?
Is this how it feels to find a mine that won’t run out of diamonds?
Louis Noanoke said to me with an ecstatic expression .
“Currently, there is only one undisclosed location that meets the conditions . In the Dubbleds . ”
‘I got a jackpot . ’
