Yekai reached an agreement to transfer the production and sale of Monoli fruit to the kingdom, and put forward some conditions: some money and the establishment of orphanages throughout Holmut.

The cities of this world are full of orphans. Some of them lost their parents in war, due to illness, because they were attacked by bandits when they were out, because their mothers died during childbirth, their fathers unfortunately died or were unmarried, and even the parents of adventurers were hunted by monsters, as well as abandoned children. They need protection and cultivation.

The decline of the Atlasian Church is evident, with a large portion of church-run orphanages being abandoned due to lack of donations, and an increasing number of homeless orphans appearing in the city.

Ye Kai is concerned and hopes to use the profits from the monoli fruit to establish a state-run orphanage.

His wish was readily accepted by the King and the Crown Prince and quickly passed the meeting. This was Holzlein's first step towards the welfare state.

The first task that the royal family invested in the production of monoli was to install a large number of water wheels. This was the equipment used to process the monoli fruit into powder after drying.

Holmt has many canals that are fed from nearby rivers. They are mainly used for domestic water and sewage discharge from the city outlet, while drinking water is provided by wells.

Land near the canal was purchased and filled with water wheels. It was a spectacular sight that later became a feature of Holmut, but that is another story.

The candy masters who were recruited to guide production accepted Ye Kai's guidance, but one problem they faced was the difficulty of temperature management.

Since there is no accurate thermometer, it is difficult to manage by feeling and estimation. Ye Kai decided to solve this problem by heating the output control of magic tools and accurate time management of hourglass. Verification is carried out by strictly adhering to the determined conditions to maintain production quality.

This way, the quality can be kept consistent, rather than relying on the skill of the confectioner. In other words, whoever makes the confectionery can produce a uniformly high-quality product.

However, it was reported that production technology and hygiene management required certain skills, and the training of professional technicians became a top priority, and this result was reported to the royal palace.

Present were the current royal family members and key ministers, as well as Ye Kai and Cham, who attended the tasting. In addition to Ye Kai, the Monoli fruit, which was first tasted by non-skilled workers, was also served on this occasion.

“Wow, this is it!”

“Hmm? That’s?”

The former is the impression of those who tasted Monoli for the first time, while the latter is the question of those who have tasted Monoli made by Ye Kai.

“What’s the problem? I think this nectar is amazing.”

"Well, although I think the taste is easy to copy..."

The former group, including the king, was amazed at the reaction of the latter group.

"That's right. I think the powder may not be ground finely enough. Maybe it would be better to consider introducing a grinding machine."

“So, that’s the difference?”

"Try this." Ye Kai handed over the Monoli fruit he made.

The taste and aftertaste are very different compared to the raw product.

"Hmm, I see. The difference is so big that it makes me unhappy. Let's introduce the grinding machine as soon as possible. Minister of Finance, please prepare a budget."

"clear."

“Although as a general product, I think it has reached product level?”

“I see this as the next major export product. So we are doing everything we can to improve the quality.”

The king responded to Ye Kai's questions and seemed very confident.

"Well, please taste this." Ye Kai took out the freshly made Monoli fruit and everyone started tasting it.

“Ah! This is it!”

"Oh, Ye Kai, you actually still have something like this hidden."

This is a nut-filled monoli made with mixed and crushed monoli, which can be said to be a nut crisp monoli.

“This takes the taste to the next level. It depends on personal taste, but this may be more popular.”

“Your ideas are endless!?”

Despite such praise, Ye Kai felt a little sorry that this was just existing technology.

“It’s just that it makes the calorie content of the product too high. If you take into account the diseases caused by obesity, it may be more difficult to adjust the price.”

“This is our job. Trust us.”

"Okay, don't worry."

In this way, the Monoli fruit production meeting barely reached a consensus. That night, after enjoying the Wang family's dinner, the two began to discuss a problem.

"Your Majesty, I have reconsidered my desire to travel around the world. I would like to ask for your permission to leave for a while."

"What! No, Brother Ye Kai! Can't you stay in Holmt forever!"

"...Brother Ye Kai, are you leaving..."

The prince and his sister expressed their dissatisfaction. However, for the other members of the royal family, these were words that had been expected, because they knew when Ye Kai would make such a request. To them, Holzlein was just a place where Ye Kai might not be limited to.

"I'm sorry, Senna, Zein. I think I still want to know why I came to this world and its meaning. Maybe such a thing does not exist, but I don't want to not confirm it. However, Holzlein is my second home, and I will come back regularly. Is that okay?"

"……Can't."

"..."

The two began to cry. Ye Kai walked over and hugged Senna, saying "I'm sorry". Zein snuggled up to Cham. In the heavy atmosphere, the siblings were comforted by their parents and finally accepted the decision.

The following day, Ye Kai and Cham reported to the king that they wished to leave temporarily: “We would like to leave temporarily, if it is possible, Your Majesty.”

"Well, go ahead."

After meeting the king again, Ye Kai and Cham expressed their willingness to say goodbye temporarily. As state guests, such a procedure was necessary.

"Yes, I have no complaints about your majesty's kindness, but as an ordinary adventurer, I hope you will forgive me."

"Okay, I'll let you go. You are a hero of this country, but not my subject. No one can stop you. But my lovely grandchildren will be sad. Try to come back as much as possible."

“Yes, I will let you know that my heart is in this country.”

"Thank you very much for your care. For the first time, I have met a king I admire. I wish you good health when we meet again."

“My pleasure too, Chaim. Have a good trip.”

“Looking forward to seeing you again.”

Two people and a little animal are about to set off and start their journey.
