Aurora scread and ran away at once to her place of residence.
“It was more than fifty years ago, but I still rember it vividly.”
Concluding her words, Aurora sighed softly.
“The [Death Maiden] you speak of, Aurora-sama, does not sound like a terrifying existence, does it?”
Aurora smiled as Ekaterina said this.
“I see. When I was a child, I was both terrified and proud to have encountered the [Maiden of Death]. Back then, I would have spoken to her a little more if I was not so terrified.”
Aurora continued.
“But over ti, as I recall each of her words, I have co to believe that she was only being kind to . I did a bad thing at the ti. I was terribly rude to soone who was kind to a lost child. I hope to see her again soday and apologize for that ti, but I was unable to see her again.”

“Everyone dismissed.”
After the al was finished, Forli led the knights and the hostess away from the tent.
When Ekaterina thanked them for the delicious al, they returned a happy smile that seed to be more than just a courtesy.
Mina remained by her side and Forli nodded in agreent. He had no intention of asking her to leave.
“Miss, over here, please.”
Smiling, Aurora held out a plate of what looked like thin cookies.
“It is a pastry coated with the royal nectar of the Great King Bee. Originally, only the queen bee of the Great King Bee eats it, and since it is only made in small quantities, it is only rarely shared with humans. Even the emperor would not be able to eat it. It is the only luxury hospitality we Forest People can offer.”
“Oh, well, that is sothing. The delicacies we had at the dinner table were all very delicious.”
Nevertheless, it was exciting to think of it as such a precious thing.
Ekaterina tried a mouthful and found it to be crispy and pleasantly crunchy. The sweetness was not strong, but only slightly sweet.
(Ah!?)

Ekaterina’s eyes widened at the sensation that ca after taking a pause for a mont.
What was it, this magic power? I felt a surge of energy, as if fuel had been injected into my veins. It was as if all the energy I had consud from clearing away the monocular bears and shoveling the soil in the fields had been recharged all at once.
“For a person with strong magical power like you, the effect is strong.”
Forli chuckled.
“The royal nectar of the Great King Bee is excellent for the body even if eaten by an ordinary person, and it has the effect of healing illnesses and wounds surprisingly quickly, but if a person with magic power eats it, it will increase their magic power.”
“My… how wonderful.”
“I heard that the fifth Duke Vassily called the royal nectar ‘the treasure of the forest’.”
It looks like a restorative potion from a ga in my previous life or sothing. Amazing. If this were an adventure ga world instead of an Oto Ga, adventurers would have rushed in to get it. Thank goodness there were no adventurers in this world.
I forgot for a while that this was an Oto Ga world… Since coming to the Duke’s territory, I was not involved in any Oto Ga scenarios. It was a little scary that I might forget all about the scenarios and events of Oto Ga.
“The queen bee of the Great King Bee is highly intelligent and seems to understand human reason, and that the Duke of Yurinova is recognized as ruler of this land. When the Duke visits the Forest People’s habitat, they often share their royal nectar with them. It seems as if they are making their value known.”
