[BL] Challenge: 100 Baby in Fantasy World Chapter 276: Rare Seed Products

Gara didn’t go into detail about the greenhouse, saying it was still in the developnt stage.

Aura nodded in understanding. "It’s your creation, your invention. You’re free to decide when, or if, you’ll let others use it."

"If possible, I plan to keep growing Black Lavender and Autumn Apples," Gara explained. "I want to turn them into commodities we can sell again..."

Aura smiled at his plan. "Of course you’re allowed. Everyone needs those two commodities. Anyone who can grow them will definitely get approval.

By the way, who are you planning to sell them to? Alrova rchant House? Or... how about selling directly to the people who produce anti-beast charms?"

Gara blinked in surprise. He had already asked Hilda to look for potential buyers, but many groups were being cautious around Alrova House lately.

Hilda had ntioned they were being pressured by several parties.

It didn’t disturb their current businesses, but she suggested avoiding any flashy new ventures until Alrova’s foundation in the capital stabilized.

Black Lavender and Autumn Apple, both categorized as rare seeds, would certainly be extrely valuable.

If he didn’t need to go through Alrova House to sell them, it would support Hilda’s current strategy.

"Do you know soone who can buy directly, Professor?" Gara asked, nervous but hopeful.

Aura nodded confidently. Without further explanation, she presented an incredible offer.

Gara was stunned. If she could offer so quickly, that ant this had already been discussed beforehand.

The buyer was willing to pay double the market price for his Black Lavender and provide new seeds.

Gara handed over Hilda’s contact. Even if the deal didn’t go through Alrova House, Hilda would still manage everything.

"I’ll regulate the final product’s selling price later so it doesn’t beco too inflated," Aura said. "But regardless, I’m sure other parties will demand it too. Do you think you can increase your production volu?"

Gara imdiately rembered the manor land outside the mansion’s wall. If he bought a few more workers or slaves and planted the crops there, he could indeed increase production...

but there were many things to consider.

"I’ll think about it, Professor."

After finishing the Black Lavender discussion, they moved on to Autumn Apples.

"I’ve already tested the apple and ran a small experint. The results match the old records exactly..."

Gara couldn’t exactly say that the one who tested it was the vice headmaster himself.

"But if you don’t believe , I brought one of yesterday’s harvests. You can try it yourself."

Gara handed her a cloth pouch, which Aura accepted with sparkling eyes.

"I’ll test it later, but I trust you, Gara. Do you want to make the sa type of deal for this fruit too? Its value is clearly higher than Black Lavender."

Gara didn’t hesitate to share his plan. "I understand how valuable Autumn Apples are. My hope is for Alrova to gain permission to sell apple juice. As long as they have that permission, I won’t ask for paynt for the apples I provide. Just supply the seeds and pay the workers’ wages."

"You don’t need any permission, Gara. You grew them. You have the right to turn them into anything." Aura didn’t want to sound unreasonable.

But that wasn’t the kind of permission Gara ant.

So he began explaining to Aura the pressure Alrova House had been facing recently.

"So you need an official statent from soone with high authority to prevent any backlash Alrova House might face once Autumn Apples actually go on sale there?" Aura concluded.

Gara nodded, falling silent afterward. Talking business with an educator wasn’t exactly proper etiquette... but he needed her help right now.

"Very well. I agree to your terms."

Gara let out a breath of relief. He hadn’t expected his professor to make such a big decision so easily.

It made him realize once again that the professors of Gyalakarta Academy weren’t just teachers, they were representatives of their respective races.

After they clarified the details, the agreent was set: Black Lavender would still be sold directly without Alrova as an interdiary.

’I could sell Autumn Apples the sa way,’ Gara thought. ’I wouldn’t need any license certificates, and it would save a lot of trouble. But Autumn Apple juice needs to be part of Alrova’s catalog. That way, when Niskara Tea with the full hundred-percent effect is released, people won’t react as wildly as before.’

At its core, Gara wanted people to think the magic ca from the ingredients, not the person making them. He didn’t want any unnecessary attention.

After finishing that topic, Gara took out a slim rectangular box. "What about the Chrona Flowers, Professor?"

"Chrona Flowers? Wait—" Aura’s round eyes widened even further. "You succeeded?"

Gara nodded with a look that basically said, ’I’ve been here discussing two other rare seeds, of course I succeeded.’

With trembling hands, Aura opened the box. Inside were three stems of flower shaped like lilies, tinted a blue-green hue.

"T-these are real Chrona Flowers!" Aura gasped.

She quickly placed the box safely on her desk and called Ilyas imdiately, causing the chaos that had filled her office earlier.

Not long after, Ilyas rushed in, out of breath. His reaction mirrored Aura’s completely: shaking hands, overwheld expression, eyes almost teary.

He even hugged Gara tightly while asking dozens of questions, most of which Aura ended up answering for him.

Monts later, Ambar arrived as well.

She looked calm and elegant as always, but the three people in the room noticed her bangs were slightly ssy. She must have been in just as much of a hurry as Ilyas.

"Five flowers blood, but I kept two for my own use. That’s alright, isn’t it?" Gara reported. In truth, he had given one of them to Agus.

"Of course. You were the one who grew them," Ambar replied. "But three stems are still far too few. Can we wait for the next harvest?"

"Chief, if we wait, these three might wilt," Ilyas cut in. "Shouldn’t we start now?"

Ambar fell silent, troubled. The main ingredient for their centuries-old project was sitting right in front of them. Yet nothing she could do.

"If you need these flowers in large quantities," Gara said suddenly, "I can cultivate more first."

"You can?" Ambar, Ilyas, and even Aura turned to him with hopeful eyes.

Gara nodded. "But... it will take a long ti."

"Even a hundred years, we can wait."

Ambar’s words were not an exaggeration. Their main project was already centuries old. Waiting another hundred years was nothing.

And even if the Chrona Flowers couldn’t produce the effect they wanted, it still wouldn’t be a loss.

Gara assud Ambar was joking and let out a small laugh. "It’ll take a year."

"A year?!" Ilyas yelped, making the two won rub their ears.

Gara needed a full year because he had to start planting in the fall, and winter had already settled in.

But he didn’t explain that to them. He simply nodded.

After chatting for a bit more, the group finally dispersed.

Ambar went ho empty-handed, perhaps, but she now carried hope for the project. She truly wished the association’s main project could be completed during her tenure.

Their eting didn’t escape Langga’s ears.

"So Gara isn’t going ho to visit his mother?" he muttered to no one in particular.

But Pere —standing in front of him, reporting the latest information— hadn’t finished delivering his news. And coincidentally, Langga’s question lined up perfectly with the next report he had prepared.

"Gara’s mother, Mrs. Wina, moved from Suruta Village to Bota Village. Right before Gara entered the academy, they moved again to Falopo Town. But after that... Mrs. Wina’s trail disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Langga raised one eyebrow.

"It’s as if she vanished, Sir. Her last trace was at the villa where Gara stayed before traveling to Raksa County. She disappeared the sa day Gara left Falopo Town.

If soone claid she left with Gara, everything would make sense. But in reality, only Gara, Madha, and Fian were welcod by the Yugo House in Raksa County."

"And what about Gara’s activities during this break?"

"Other than visiting the alchemist lab and eting Professor Aura today, he hasn’t gone anywhere. He’s been staying on the third floor of Alrova Shop. But, Sir, Gara’s behavior isn’t the strangest part."

"There’s sothing stranger?"

"Madha and Fian. They’re staying with Gara at the shop, but they’ve never gone outside. Not even shown themselves on the second or first floor..."

"They’re acting as if they’ve moved sowhere else," Langga murmured.

Pere nodded.

From the beginning, Langga had always felt that there was sothing strange about Gara. Even the reason he waited a full year before enrolling in the academy was a mystery.

Gara never told anyone. He only said it was a personal matter.

But Langga needed to know. Sohow, he felt that once he uncovered the truth, his relationship with Gara would finally improve.

"Pere," Langga called, his expression determined. "Do you rember the failed product from the crystal ring?"

"The crystal ring with the connector that couldn’t be shut off?" Pere asked back.

Langga nodded. "Find it for ."
