Isekai Nonbiri Sozai Saishu Seikatsu - Chapter 171

The thawed Geinos’s dismantling was to be carried out by the Dark Elf warriors.

“Shuu, do you know which parts of Geinos’s materials are valuable?”

Since there was no one familiar with Geinos’s unique ecology, it was unclear which parts were valuable and what kind of processing was needed.

Therefore, although I didn’t participate in the dismantling, I stood nearby as a supervisor.

Upon being asked by Leilushka, I activate my detection skill.

As a result, the colors changed for each part, indicating the rarity value of the materials.

“It’s the skin, teeth, poison sacs, and eyeballs. Especially the skin seems to be incredibly valuable, so please make sure to secure the parts that can be cleanly extracted.”

“Got it. By the way, can this be eaten?”

Upon hearing that, I appraised it again.

【Geinos】

Once the poison sac is cleanly removed, it is edible.

It has a mild taste similar to white fish. It’s odorless and very easy to eat.

It has a highly nourishing effect.

“It seems that it can be eaten once the poison sac is cleanly removed. It’s also very nutritious.”

“Oh, I see! Then let’s make sure to drain the blood thoroughly!”

Upon Leilushka’s command, the Dark Elves decapitated Geinos and began the blood draining process.

The severed head was placed on a pedestal as if boasting of its victory.

Even though it was just the head, having seen it actually move, I couldn’t help but feel jittery.

I even wondered if it would start moving again.

“What are the possible uses for Geinos’s materials?”

As she gazed at the head, Lumia asked with an excited expression.

It seemed she was already thinking about how to use the materials.

【Geinos’s Mimicry Skin】

A skin that can blend into the surrounding environment. When processed into an item through alchemy, it provides a mimicry effect. Highly valuable due to its rarity.

【Geinos’s Fangs】

Sharp and developed fangs of Geinos. They can easily crush iron and steel and inject poison.

They can be processed into weapons, granting them a deadly poison effect.

【Geinos’s Venomous Sac】

A venomous sac located inside Geinos’s body.

It contains seven types of complex poison, capable of killing a human ten times over with just a few drops due to its potent venom.

【Geinos’s Eyeballs】

Geinos’s eyeballs, containing beautiful irises.

Suitable as a catalyst for various potions such as specialized healing potions, specialized antidotes, and universal remedies.

When I appraised each material, this kind of information came up.

“It seems that if the skin is processed into an item, a mimicry effect can be obtained.”

“Really!? That’s amazing! With a cloak like that, you could hide anytime!”

“That would be incredibly convenient! Please do the processing when we return to Grantel!”

“Yes! Leave it to me!”

When I asked, Lumia readily nodded.

A cloak with a camouflage effect would be incredibly useful.

Especially for someone like me who wants to focus on gathering, it’s a very welcome item.

Once it’s finished, I’ll be able to camouflage with the cloak to avoid encounters with monsters and focus even more on gathering. I’m very happy about that.

I also went on to explain the overview of the fangs, venom sac, and eyeballs.

It seemed Lumia was happy to learn about the various ways the materials could be utilized, as her expression changed vividly each time she asked.

She’s usually soft-spoken and calm, but when it comes to materials, she becomes quite talkative.

That aspect of her makes me smile.

“But, we have a problem.”

“What is it?”

“While there are multiple other materials, there’s only one Geinos eyeball.”

“Ah, indeed…”

Geinos’s left eye was pierced and damaged by my initial attack.

What remains is only the right eye, and how to distribute it is a dilemma.

“With the magic bag, we could cut the eyeball in half and bring it back…”

“Eyeballs deteriorate very easily, and once damaged, they degrade significantly. So, that might not be the best option…”

When Lumia mentioned it, I checked the details about the eyeball, and she was right.

It’s best to preserve them in magic fluid and avoid damaging them until just before processing.

“If it’s the eyeballs, Shuu and Lumia can take them back.”

“No, that’s…”

Ultimately, since it was I who crushed it, I think the right to obtain the other one belongs to Leilushka.

“Our village doesn’t have tools for processing, and there’s no one with skills like Lumia’s. If there’s a proper use for it and it can be processed, it’s better to give it to someone who can use it properly.”

“I understand. I’ll take you up on that offer. In return, though it might not be much, would you consider exchanging it for the food and daily necessities I have with me?”

Geinos’s eyeball is a material with a rare value akin to gold. If sold, it could fetch tens to hundreds of gold coins. It felt awkward to receive something like that for free.

So, instead, I thought of offering scarce food and daily necessities that are hard to come by here.

“Where would we find food and daily necessities… Oh, right, in the magic bag!”

“Yes. I have stored a considerable amount of food and daily necessities in my bag for emergencies.”

Especially food, water, and alcohol are stocked in tons.

If I wanted to, I could feed everyone in this village for quite some time.

“That would be appreciated! The villagers will be delighted!”

“By the way, we’re conducting quite an important negotiation, but do we need to get permission from Gail-san?”

“There’s no problem with that. I’m Gail’s daughter and the next leader. I have the authority to make decisions like this.”

“Oh, I see.”

It wasn’t that surprising that the warriors who obediently followed Leilushka’s instructions weren’t reliable fighters.

“Was it unexpected?”

“No, seeing the depth of trust, I understand. It’s truly amazing.”

“I see…”

Even in my previous life working at a company, I had juniors to manage. Despite the difficulty of managing just a few, Leilushka had hundreds under her command. The pressure and sense of responsibility she must feel were beyond my imagination.

In such a position, I couldn’t help but respect Leilushka sincerely.

“Shuu, could you show us the food and daily necessities you can give us?”

“Sure.”

The abrupt change of topic seemed to be to hide embarrassment. Even though I understood that, I decided to respond without pointing it out.

Setting up a large sheet in what seemed to be a slightly distant square, I began laying out various foods and daily necessities that the Dark Elves would likely appreciate. From preserved foods like salted meat, Lindblum salted fish, dried mushrooms, and dried fruits to fresh vegetables and fruits bought and preserved from the Grantel market, I spread them out.

In terms of daily necessities, there were easy-to-wear clothes and pants.

Then there were a few convenient items, weapons, distilled liquor, and the like.

I also placed toys and miscellaneous goods that children would enjoy.

“It’s like a small shop now.”

“If we ever run short on money, this isn’t a bad way to earn some.”

As I laid out many items, Dark Elf women and children began to gather around. It seemed they were quite interested, perhaps because there were many things here that were difficult to obtain or impossible to make.

Amidst this, one of the women whispered something to Leilushka.

“Shuu, I apologize for being demanding, but do you happen to have any thread or fabric?”

Looking at Leilushka and the women’s attire as they timidly made the request, I could see that their clothing was very elegant with elaborate decorations. Perhaps the Dark Elves here were skilled in sewing.

“Of course, I do.”

Saying so, I took out various colors of thread and fabric, brightening the women’s faces. Having gathered them from many large cities like Grantel, Lindblum, and Eld, we had quite a variety of threads and fabrics.

“If there’s anything else you want, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

Saying this, various shy requests came from the Dark Elves, and I provided them with the items within my capabilities.
