111 Episode 110 Job Search and Reclamation

The negotiations went smoothly after Desibatore was mentioned.

The country wanted to give up Desibatore, and Desibatore was ideal for my territory. How could it not go well?

Even though it's my territory, Mercia and the Kaede Chamber of Commerce will be in charge of the management of the territory.

It seems that there is no precedent for the Chamber of Commerce to be involved in the management of a territory, but since the territory of Desibatore itself is so unique, it seems that the permission has been granted as if it were a case of "if you eat the poison, you get the dish.

There are a lot of former Desibatoreans in the Chamber of Commerce.

So, about a month after I went to the royal palace.

My appointment as Lord was officially announced in Desibatore.

It was to be ......, but...

I'm sure this is the correct place for the inauguration ceremony, right?

It should be, but ......

The venue was the tavern, which is the largest building in Decibatore today.

However, there was no sign of any participants in the bar.

"Oh, it's Kaede. It's unusual for you to come to the tavern. What's wrong?

And then he said to me.

"Huh?　Is this the right place for the inauguration ceremony?

I ask a familiar adventurer who approached me.

"Oh. I've heard of it. I'm sure you've heard of it, but I don't think it's safe enough for the nobility to come here, no matter how safe Decibatore is now that they've taken Brokens back. ....... In fact, you don't even see them, do you?

...... I see.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

"......, the new lord is already here.

Huh?　But the guy who looks like that is ......

The adventurer then looks around.

"I don't see him anywhere. Well, I guess it doesn't matter to Decibatore and Brokens who the lord is. The new lord may have some spirit to come this far, but this is not a land that a nobleman can treat properly.

"Actually, that new lord is me. ......

"...... Kaede is the lord?　But Kaede is an adventurer, right?　Adventurers aren't allowed to be nobles. ......

When I went to the palace the other day, I got this.

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

Incidentally, my family name is "Desibatore". It is said to be a custom in this country to give the name of the territory you own.

...... Really?　That's great news!　Hey guys, I heard the new lord is a maple!

"The new lord is a maple!　"The new lord is a maple!

The new lord is Kaede!" A number of adventurers leave the tavern shouting such things.

In a little while, a large number of Desibatoreans gathered in the tavern.

Through the windows, you can see adventurers kicking the roofs and walls towards the tavern.

In the past, Desibatore was not a place where everyone could suddenly gather just because something happened, but since the front line became Brokens, it has become like a resting place for Desibatore people. .......

The tavern was quickly filled by the Desibatoreans who wasted their overwhelming mobility.

Some of them went to Brocken to tell him the news, so there may be more to come.

"I'm sure everyone here already knows that ...... Decibatore and Brokens are my territory from today!

Oh!

Finally, a lord worthy of the land!

...... But what does a lord do in Decibatore?

I'm sure you've heard of it.

I looked at Mercia.

I heard in King's Landing that the first job of a lord is to hire guards and maintain security. ......

Is that necessary?

...... No, sir.

Next is tax collection. ......

Desibatore is a tax-free zone, isn't it? ......

Apparently, Desibatoreans don't commit any criminal acts.

If you commit a crime in Desibatore or Brokens, you will make enemies of many Desibatoreans.

This is because the Decibatoreans know best how scary it is.

And as for people from outside committing crimes in Decibatore, that is also unlikely.

Even though it is relatively safe now, Desibatore is not a place where anyone can come.

Moreover, even if you managed to sneak in and commit a crime, you would be confronted by a dozen of Desibattreans.

Does this city need guards? No, it doesn't.

In fact, in addition to Mercia, there was talk of dispatching people from the country to assist in the management of the territory, but as soon as they heard that the destination was Decibatore, there were no more applicants.

I guess the government decided that they couldn't bear to send people who didn't want to go to Desibatore by force, so they decided to leave it entirely to us.

Well, judging from the current state of affairs, I don't think it would have helped much even if someone who understands the internal affairs of a normal place had come.

"Huh?　Is it possible that the lord doesn't have a job?

But you see, if a sub-dragon appears, Kaede will have to defeat it.

I don't know if it's the lord's job to defeat the sub-dragon.

At least, as far as I know, the lord's job did not include defeating the dragons by himself.

This knowledge was probably correct.

"There's no work in peacetime!

What a mess. We became lords, but there was no work for us.

When I think about it, I'm grateful that Mercia has a business association and can't stay in Desibatore all the time. .......

"Is there anything inconvenient about living in ...... Desi Battley?

I felt that doing nothing was not a good idea, so I asked a question like a questionnaire sent out by a government office or a company.

"Nothing in particular.

"No. No.

If I had to guess, I'd say food.　If I had to guess, I'd say food. You can't get fresh food in Desi Battleye without using the item box. ......

That's it!

By the way, the king also talked about the development of Desi Battleye .

In the past, farming was unthinkable in Desibatore, but now it seems to be possible.

Let's start cultivating!

Thus, my first task as a lord was to cultivate the land.

However, the land reclamation itself was to be done mainly by adventurers from peasant families, so I didn't have to do it.

My job was to find the people who would participate in the reclamation.

In other words...

"I'm going to bomb the demon territory outside of Brokens.

This is what I mean.

......... Is this really the job of a lord?
