Chapter 144: Green Corridor
Even though my brother has been to the “Green Corridor” before, I don’t think he knows it better than the locals. Without hesitation, I decided to take the turtles with us.
“Lake Spirit-sama, I look forward to working with you.”
“Hmmm, that’s a good answer. I like you more and more.”
Looks likeI got one point. I guess I should be happy. Wow! Meanwhile, my brother still had a sour look on his face.
“What’s the matter, Brother Cain?”
“No, father asked me to keep a close watch on you. I am wondering if I should stop what you're about to do.”
“Oh no! Will you abandon the Spirit of the Lake, brother?!”
“Are you abandoning me!?”

The two of us turned our sparkling eyes towards my brother. “Ugh,” my brother said with an embarrassed look on his face. Just one more push! Power to responsibility!
“Brother, it was actually us humans who caused the lake to become polluted. Are you going to pretend you did not see it just because it wasn’t directly our fault? Is that what you should do as a nobleman and as someone in a higher position?”
“Stop it, Julius. It’s okay. Don’t blame Cain any more. Cain has a promise to keep. Just as I promised to protect this land... But, it looks like I won't be able to fulfill that promise.”
“Lake Spirit-sama…”
We turned our backs to Brother Cain and comforted each other. I heard a voice from behind me say, “Oh gosh!”
"Okay. Got it. Let's go to the Green Corridor. Lake Spirit-sama, please guide us."
“Leave it to me.”
“Thank you!”
As planned!
It wasn’t that far from the lake to the green corridor. That’s also true. If it was far away, it would be difficult for the turtle to come and go.
As my brother had said, there was a beautiful boardwalk there. Trees lined up in a row, creating sunlight filtering through the trees on the walkway, as if to protect us from the lingering heat.

“It’s a bright, comfortable place. I like it very much.”
Isn’t it? You can enjoy the fresh greenery in spring, the sunlight filtering through the trees in summer, and the changing autumn leaves in fall. You can enjoy it no matter what season you come.”
In winter, the whole area will be covered with snow. Will it be crowded with people coming to take a bath in the hot springs? If so, it would be bad if the hot springs dried up.
There were lush trees on both sides of the road and a thick layer of green moss growing at the base of the trees. Perhaps it is because no one passes by that they have preserved this scenery.
“You won’t yell at me if I strayed from the boardwalk, would you?”
“it’s fine. It is not written in the prohibition.”
“Then I guess we can look for material without hesitation.”
A group of people with a turtle in their arms go along the boardwalk. The turtle is, of course, held by a knight. It would be nightfall if they were led on foot.
Even while moving, I was searching for materials using my “Search'' skill. Apparently, adventurers don't come to this area to collect materials, and I was able to quickly find not only medicinal herbs and poison-dissipating herbs, but also magical herbs. This is a treasure box of natural materials.
“What kind of materials are you looking for?”
Ad
“Lizards, frogs, and then some snake shells……”
“……”
Huh? My brother went silent. All the things that boys would like. Could it be that big brother Cain doesn’t like reptiles and amphibians?
“Well, I’ve seen lizards and frogs before. I don't know about the snake shell, though.”
“Don’t worry. I found it.”
What? My older brother looked at me with a face that said that. I smiled and went off the boardwalk a little. A knight chased after me in a panic.
“Julius-sama, I will collect it and put it in a bag, so just tell me where they are!”
“I understand. But I don't mind picking it myself. ......"
“I can’t have you getting your hands dirty.”
He said this with a serious face. Hmm, it’s difficult because they are not the usual loose companions. The one who is currently accompanying me as my escort is my brother Cain’s escort. So I guess they don’t know much about how I usually operate. I wonder if he would have a stroke if he knew. ……
I think that they are deliberately excluding the knights who are close to me so that I will not cause any problems in the capital. If they are that worried about me, why don’t they just not let me go to the royal capital?
I guess ...... father couldn't refuse. It's tough being a middle man. I'll give him a pat on the shoulder when I get back to the mansion….
“It's right there."
“Ha! I’ve got it.”
Thinking it was a pretty good shell, the knight immediately put it away in his bag. Oh, there is a blue mushroom in just the right place. This too can be used as an ingredient for magic potions.
Ad
“I want you to pick those blue mushrooms, too.”
“I understand. …… it’s okay, right?”
“Yes.”
He doesn’t seem to trust me very much. Well, I don’t really care. When I returned to the boardwalk, my brother said curiously, “Good job finding it.” I wasn’t sure if he knew about my skills, so I answered vaguely.
“Julius, over there. There’s a little marshy area over there. There are frogs there. Maybe there is the frog you are looking for.”
“Let’s get going! What about you, brother?”
“Uh, I’ll wait here.”
“Okay!”
I found it, Brother Cain’s weakness! As soon as I catch the frog, I’ll go show it off to him! As I was smiling with a grin, he said with a drawn-out smile, “You don’t have to come back to show me.” It seems my deviousness has been discovered. You are more perceptive than I thought, big brother.
I headed for the marsh with the knight and the turtle. There was a little puddle of water there. There was moss and small white flowers around it, and it looked like a little biotope, which made me smile.
“I like this place. I want it in my garden.”
“Oh, Julius understands how good this is? Mm-hmm, I’m proud of you.”
The turtle is satisfied with something. Checking the wetland again, I noticed that not only frogs but also lizards were nearby.
I immediately tried to catch them, but the knight stopped me again. Aren’t they a little too overprotective?
“I can catch them myself.”
“No, we’ll catch them. Just tell us which ones.”
It appears that all the hard-headed are here. No, maybe this is normal? Maybe the people around me are just too lenient.
