Ancient Dragon's Bounty
Liria hugged Elia tightly, and Elia returned the embrace.
“Mom, today I bought a lot of seasonings and spices using the Earth money we agreed on. Hehe.”
“That’s right? Our daughter. You’ve worked so hard.”
Liria then began pulling out various seasonings and spices from her inventory.
Starting with pepper, soy sauce, doenjang, ssamjang, gochujang, vinegar, cooking oil, ketchup, mayonnaise, MSG, and every other item she knew.
For salt, since it wasn’t as cheap in Selenia, but easy to obtain with money, she didn’t buy extra. When she had more money later, she’d buy in bulk.
“It’s quite a lot, isn’t it? It must have cost a significant amount of money.”
“It’s okay. Hehe.”
“I thought it would cost a lot, but with this much, you’d earn it back quickly.”
“Really?”
“I’ll buy even more in the future.”
Liria started distributing the food evenly to everyone, and Salion tried to join the group.
Silvia tried to stop him because she didn’t like him.
“Why are you trying to get any?”
“I came as the representative too, right?”
“Go over there and stay out. Why do you think the ancient ones came?”
“Okay.”
Salion had no choice but to withdraw due to Silvia’s urging, and Liria could distribute to everyone evenly.
How to distribute to the other dragons was up to the ancient dragons.
“Thank you always. We have nothing to give Liria.”
“Should I give this? It’s precious on Earth, right?”
“No. Liria is fine.”
“Please accept it without refusal.”
“Thank you. Liria is so happy. Hehe.”
The ancient dragons gave Liria various rare herbs.
Herbs that were nothing special to dragons but precious to humans.
They could drink it as tea, but the taste was inferior to coffee, so dragons didn’t like it much.
Liria hadn’t been interested in herbs until then, but since herbs became very important on Earth, she started collecting them after her first visit to Earth.
So, the dragons who heard this from Elia had gone around the world to gather herbs for Liria.
Liria felt grateful to these dragons, and she vowed to bring even more Earth groceries in the future.
And then the core snack distribution.
Liria had prepared bread, processed foods, snacks, beverages, etc., and distributed them to the ancient dragons.
The dragons didn’t know what Liria was giving, but they decided to accept whatever was given.
Liria planned to explain how to eat after the distribution.
And the cake given by Kim Gayoung’s group was to be eaten together there.
“This cake has a small quantity, so Liria can’t give it to everyone. We’ll eat it together. Hehe.”
“Huhu, how cute.”
“The cake was delicious.”
“Dear. When did you eat it?”
“Ah, that’s just a little.”
“Well, there’s no helping it.”
Elia secretly recalled eating the cake at that time and accidentally said it herself.
Renos was surprised that he didn’t get cake, but decided not to mind since he could eat it now.
Liria took out all the cake from Kim Gayoung’s group and distributed the cake in plates to everyone.
Salion was watching Liria with a knowing look.
Then Liria brought cake to Salion.
“Can I eat it too? I’m not even the representative.”
“Of course. Salion oppa.”
Salion received the cake in the plate with emotion.
Actually, he had heard from Silvia about the cake before.
Silvia had boasted to other hatchlings how delicious the cake Liria ate on Earth was.
Silvia often boasted about things she did with Liria, and the things on Earth were really enviable.
Still, there was no hatchling who took care of the hatchlings as much as Silvia, so Liria was grateful, but no hatchling hated Silvia.
It was really fortunate that she won as the representative of the hatchlings this time.
The dragons were surprised when they ate the cake Liria brought.
They had never eaten such a soft, sweet dessert.
“This is really delicious.”
“It looks quite expensive.”
“With this much, I’d have to give one gold coin.”
The ancient dragons took a bite of the cake and smiled contentedly.
Liria, seeing the ancient dragons, decided to offer carbonated drinks this time.
The ancient dragons watched Liria pouring something from a strange bottle.
Liria distributed the cola poured into cups to everyone, and the ancient dragons, seeing the black color, thought it was coffee.
“Coffee is in a strange bottle.”
“This is not coffee, it’s cola.”
“Cola?”
“A carbonated drink with strong fizz. It’s delicious. Hehe.”
The ancient dragons were curious what the cola drink was.
Upon closer look, it looked quite different from coffee, and there were air bubbles like in beer.
One ancient dragon, out of curiosity, tried the cola, and felt a tingling carbonation in his mouth.
Although there are air bubbles in beer, the tingling taste is less, but the tingling taste is unusual but suited his palate.
Other dragons also tried the cola, and all gave positive reactions.
“How is it?”
“This is delicious. It has a different charm from coffee.”
“The tingling taste is art.”
“There are such drinks on Earth too.”
Salion also tried the cola following the ancient dragons.
It was the second time in his life he had such a delicious drink.
He couldn’t say it’s better than coffee, but cola had its own charm.
“It’s really delicious. It has a different charm from coffee.”
“Cola is a drink with carbonation as its charm. It’s best to drink it cold.”
Silvia, having tried it with Liria beforehand, showed off her knowledge.
Moreover, she found out that the price was extremely cheap.
With one gold coin, you could buy hundreds of bottles, and it’s sweet, refreshing, and carbonated.
Thinking about the profits Liria would earn in the future, she could stack mountains of them and eat them.
The production capacity on Earth was on a different level from Selenia.
Just Korea, which she visited, would have more than the entire Selenia.
The sight of the huge buildings she first saw would not be forgotten.
“I think I know why Liria wants to do business on Earth. If there’s anything you need, tell me anytime.”
“Yeah. If we need your help, talk anytime.”
“Thank you. Hehe.”
“Yeah. Yeah.”
The dragons looked at Liria with fondness.
The dragons listened to Liria about how to eat processed foods and returned to their lairs.
Liria thought about what she could sell on Earth besides Eleas coffee.
Things common in Selenia but not seen on Earth.
There were special herbs not found on Earth.
Liria thought that if the coffee business was stable, the next business would be herbs.
She thought it would be good to add new menus at the cafe.
Liria planned to collect herbs for future business.
“Mom?”
“Yes. Mom.”
“If there’s anything difficult, tell me anytime.”
“It’s okay. Hehe. Liria has Silvia unnie.”
“Right. Just trust me.”
Silvia was very happy that Liria relied on her.
Liria was very reassured because Silvia had been with her since childhood.
Of course, if Liria had her own abilities, there would be no danger, but mentally she needed Silvia’s help.
She wanted Silvia to be there because she became a high elf and her mind became like a small child’s.
“It’s a foreign land, so I’m worried. You said it’s a world with insufficient mana?”
“Yes. Mom.”
“Should I buy a large amount of mana stones?”
“It’s okay. Liria has enough too.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Mom. Hehe.”
Selenia’s mana stones come in two types.
One is a one-time use mana stone, and the other is a rechargeable mana stone.
The rechargeable one is used by charging one’s own mana, and it’s a much more expensive mana stone than normal ones.
Liria, having experienced mana shortage on Earth, bought the highest grade rechargeable mana stone.
Even if mana ran out, it would be useful on Earth.
With this, there would be no problem with mana shortage on Earth.
“Next, I’m thinking of selling herbs on Earth.”
“Really?”
“When the coffee business is established, I’ll start seriously. Hehe.”
Liria thought it was too early to sell herbs.
She planned to firmly establish with Eleas coffee and then sell herbs.
For that, she needed many herbs.
Fortunately, Selenia’s herbs were in large quantities and cheap, so she could get what she wanted.
“If there’s anything we can help with, tell us anytime.”
“Right. We want to do something as Liria’s oppa too.”
“Yes. Oppa. Liria is very happy to have good oppa.”
“We are very happy to have Liria as our little sister.”
“Is there such a lovely little sister in the world?”
“Should we gather herbs for you?”
“That would be a good idea. Brother.”
Leos and Reus promised to gather herbs on Liria’s behalf.
To gather herbs, they would have to go to the human world outside the Eleas forest.
Liria had things to do on Earth, so if they took it, it would be even better.
“I won’t help? Just say the word, daughter.”
“It’s okay. Father.”
“If you need anything, just say. Got it?”
“Yes. Father.”
Liria vowed to achieve great success on Earth for the precious people around her.
