Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Since I didn’t feel that it would be a good thing to destroy it, I said, ”No, I won’t destroy it.”

”Huh?” Everyone was caught off guard when they heard this before looking like they wanted to say different things to convince me otherwise.

Only before any of them could actually do that, I raised the Staff of Earth in my hand and raised a ball of dirt around the seed. It was as if the seed of corruption sensed the danger that came from this dirt that surrounded it, so it pulled back the corruption energy that it was releasing.

That allowed the dirt that gathered around it to easily envelop it and suppress it.

Just like that, the seed of corruption was sealed.

”We gain more from studying it than destroying it right away. Since there’s a way to seal it, we should try to learn what we can from it.”

The ones from the Holy Empire didn’t seem to think the same thing as me with the looks on their faces, but it didn’t seem like they could say anything since I used the Staff of Earth to seal the seed of corruption.

As members of the Holy Empire, it was only natural that they would be able to sense the divine energy that was coming from this Staff of Earth. They were able to easily tell that this was a divine relic.

So to say anything about a divine relic would be hard for these people from an empire that was built on worshipping the gods.

As for the prime minister…

It seemed that he was struggling at first with this, but he eventually said with a sigh and a nod, ”Alright, you’re right. It would be a waste to destroy it like this without actually taking a closer look at it.”

Since it had been sealed, there was no need for me to personally transport it.

In fact, there was someone that had rushed over when they heard about what happened and was very excited to take a look. I didn’t say anything about the way that Puffer acted since she was the one that would be studying this thing in the first place.

It really didn’t seem like she acted as a visitor, she acted like this was her place.

Still, she was more than helpful because of the abilities that she had and that was more than enough to overlook things.

After the seed of corruption was brought away, I turned to Chris and Leon to ask, ”What have you been up to lately?”

They were supposed to be assigned to me, which meant that they should have been assigned to stay in our Kite Kingdom. However, the prime minister had said earlier that they had been off handling something else.

The only thing that could pull them away was another order from the Holy Empire, so I was curious what it had been about.

Or rather, I couldn’t help feeling suspicious about it since it seemed that something was off. I just didn’t have time to think about it earlier because of the matter of the spreading corruption energy, but now that the corruption energy had been taken care of.

The two of them revealed awkward looks when they heard what I said.

They could clearly hear the tone that I said these words in, so they knew what I was really asking them.

After a moment of hesitation, Chris said with a sigh, ”We were pulled away because there was another matter that we needed to handle. It’s related to what happened in this place.”

”Related? It means that there was corruption energy that appeared somewhere else?”

Both the prime minister and I knitted our brows at the same time, so I could tell that he had figured it out too.

Chris just gave a nod with a serious look on his face before telling us what happened.

It turned out that there was another small kingdom that had the same thing happen to them. There was this wave of corruption energy that suddenly appeared and they had been called to help purify it.

This small kingdom was a vassal of the Holy Empire, which was why they had been pulled away like this.

And since it was a vassal of the Holy Empire, that meant that it wasn’t just Chris and Leon’s group that was called there. There had been two other groups that were called in as well to handle this matter.

”The corruption energy that was there was newly discovered, so it wasn’t as strong as it was here.”

What he was implying was that if it had been stronger, then they wouldn’t have been able to handle it that easily. If it had been stronger, then they would have needed to request help.

If it was stronger, the only thing that would have been able to purify it would be a divine relic.

In that case, they would have asked me for help.

But there was something that I still had to say, ”If there was a seed of corruption here, why wouldn’t there be one there as well?”

This had completely been missed by Chris and Leon.

Though it couldn’t be blamed on them since they had just found out about the seed of corruption after seeing it for the first time here.

After knitting his brows for a bit, Chris waved his hand at one of the holy knights nearby and said, ”Send a message to the Yotel Kingdom.”

The holy knight didn’t even need to ask what the message was as he gave a nod and headed off.

As I was about to say something, there was another person that ran over.

This was one of the crew members of the Holy Empire’s airship, specifically the one that was in charge of sending messages. This was the person that the holy knight had gone off to find.

But there was a reason why this person had run over here.
