“…No, seriously, how did you manage to tame a bee that can slaughter hundreds of wasps on its own?”

Ihan simply shrugged in response to his disciple’s genuine curiosity.

“I didn’t do anything. We just talked the first time we met, I gave them a potion on our second meeting, and after that, they suddenly started coming to me. Next thing I know, they’ve built a hive in the forest near my house.”

“…And that was enough for you to gain the champion of the beekeeping world? That’s absurd.”

“What do you mean, ‘gain’? We just became friends.”

“…Not servants?”

“……”

Buzzz.

Ihan’s new, exceptionally intelligent bee friends delivered a glass of water to where he was seated.

They carried it effortlessly, despite it being dozens of times heavier than their own bodies.

Seeing that, it was easy to understand why they had so many grand titles.

“Ahem, I said they’re friends.”

As a token of gratitude, Ihan handed the bees a bundle of fruit.

Buzzz!

Oh, they were absolutely thrilled.

“…F-Fruit?”

“They eat just about anything. Even meat. But they love sweet fruit the most—pineapples, mangoes, stuff like that. Got expensive tastes, these guys.”

“…And you didn’t think that was strange?”

“They’re spirit insects. It made sense.”

“……”@@novelbin@@

“Anyway, why are you here? You didn’t even say anything before showing up.”

Ihan finally turned his attention away from his new friends and gave a curt nod, gesturing for the visitor to get to the point.
