424 A Great Reward

-----

Helga seemed shocked.

"You're really an idiot! What are you doing?!" She asked angrily.

"I just want to stay with my new dwarf friend!" I said, hugging her little body. "You're cute too!"

"Eek! D-Don't touch me so much! I am married! Married!" She said while struggling adorably.

"Haha, I know, I know~" I sighed. "Well, Aquamarine. Can I still get the benefits?"

"Yeah, I had already figured out that you wouldn't join us completely. But due to being the guild master and because these two other idiots are the vice guild masters, we can give you as much authority as if you were our member." Said the old lady, giving us some metallic badges. "Use these to be able to cross into several sections. There are dungeons, special mining areas, and even unexplored depths where only strong miners can get in… The Dungeon I am talking about is in the depths of the mountain, so you'll have to cross the Rainbow Crystal Cave, the Underground Lake of Lakesia, and the Dark Haunt Caves, these three areas are connected to dungeons so monsters roam freely, but there are also very expensive ores growing everywhere. Due to not being as much of a controlled area, only strong enough guild members form parties to go mining down there and also hunt monsters."

"I see… So as honorary "members" of your guild, you're giving us our first quest, huh?" I asked.

"Technically…" She said. "You don't have to do what I asked you if you don't want to, but I'll add a good bounty. We can pay you through materials, food, or even workhand, and well, money too."

"I would like the whole package! My town is in dire need of a reconstruction as well as need more seeds, those beans you guys got and the tubers, we want a bunch of those seeds." I said.

"Yeah, that would be nice for our greenhouses!" Said Emeraldine.

"H-How many greenhouses do you have in those cold lands?" Asked Aquamarine.

"We have built six so far." Said Baldur.

"Nothing too much." Said Balladur.

"S-Six Greenhouses?!" Asked the old lady.

"It is necessary for our food production." Darfu added. "Lady Emeraldine and Lady Maria have amazing Skills that allow them to enchant crops so they can grow faster and healthier, alongside being able to, sometimes, make some of those plants grow into magical plants. They have produced Medicinal Herbs and Antidote Herbs this way, alongside incredibly tasty veggies that only take about a week or two to grow completely."

"So short?!" Aquamarine asked.

"You guys don't have magic to enchant your growth of products?" I wondered.

"W-Well, we do…" Said the old lady. "We have magic items and more, but after overusing such items for a long time, they stop being as effective, our soil is imported from the Goldsand Confederation as we lack it in the mountains. We also plant all sorts of mushrooms too, thankfully those don't need as many things to grow and simply naturally absorb the nutrients of the rocks to grow."

"I see…" I said.

"This is why pure Skills such as the ones you two have are actually valuable." Said Aquamarine.

"Wait, why?" I wondered.

"Unlike Magic Items or Spells, Skills are very mystical and unique powers, engraved in the soul book and all… their effects never get old, nor they ever stop making an effect. Unlike spells or magic items which exhaust the earth, skills can continuously be used without becoming ineffective after a bit." She said.

"Ohhh… now that's interesting." I said. "Emeraldine, we might be pretty valuable."

"Uuuuhh… What do you have in mind? Ah, I also have my spirits…" Said Emeraldine.

"S-Spirits of Light and Nature!" Aquamarine said, looking at the beautiful spirits that Emeraldine brought out. "Incredible… Elves are so lucky to have such an amazing affinity with spirits! We dwarves only have affinities with spirits of Fire and Metal, sometimes, someone with a Dark or even Earth Spirit Affinity appears. But they're exceedingly rare. The only two Earth Spirit Users are already helping our crops as much as they can."

"Hm, I see… Nature Spirits might be better at enchanting the growth of plants than Earth Spirits, as the later can only enchant the soil." Emeraldine analyzed.

"Hm, that's right. So aside from that request, how about you work for us in enchanting our crops? We could pay you nicely, and you would be helping our country prosper." Said Aquamarine. "I can talk this to the Viscountess and she'll agree."

"I see, well, I don't see it being wrong." I said, looking at Helga. "After all, we are already quite close to this people. We have seen Helga's kids and we can't simply say no to you after thinking they might starve if we don't help at the end…" I sighed.

"Maria… Thank you for thinking about us." Sighed Helga. "I feel like I am getting a bit too much of a good treatment for what I am though…"

"A friend is a friend!" I said, laughing. "You invited us to your house, to eat, and even offered us your services, you bought my potions, you helped us get here… What else can I do to repay you?"

"You're way too nice…" Helga sighed. "Sadly I'm not into girls, hahaha!"

"Aw come on, I am not trying to flirt with you…" I said. "Well now, Aquamarine. We'll be going to an Inn to pass the night for now."

"A-Ah, sure thing then. But how about you stay in my home?" Wondered Aquamarine. "This house is rather empty most of the time, and there are many rooms. You can also discuss what you'll be doing from now on leisurely."

"Thanks, we'll do then." I said. "Helga, you'll be staying?"

"Eh?! No way, I'm going back home, it's getting super late now!" Helga said.

"Alright then, take these, youngster." Aquamarine said, quickly giving Helga a sack of gold coins.

"Huh?! So much money, what?! Eh?!" She cried.

"This is a compensation for bringing to me such a talented group of strong people. Also for helping them get here and being so nice with them, a proper reward for you. Also, it might help you establish your Guild officially."
