The office of the Queen of the Kingdom of Briani.
There were Briani and a few civil servants in the office, and there was a discussion.
"It's unexpectedly hard."
Briani murmured as he looked at the paperwork.
"It's not 'surprisingly hard'."
There is too much work to be done in the garrison of the Demon King's army, in the maintenance of the streets, in the procurement of food, in explaining to the residents, and in arranging accommodation for the royal army cadres. "
"I know."
Besides, this matter has something to do with us, and if the Demon Kingdom is serious about it, it's only natural that we cooperate.
You don't have to go to war. ”
Yes, we can't be a force in the devil kingdom's serious war.
"That's because there's a good team there."
Well, if you're in charge of the back, let's make it look like a perfectly ripe ally. ”
Briani says.
"Yes, and... here we are."
A civil servant places a document in front of Briani.
... nh?... nh... this is confidential, right?
"For the time being, this information is not available to anyone other than the personnel here."
The civil servant says.
"That's right...
It's a slaver's house crackdown... and my country will temporarily protect the slaves there...
I know what you told us is a matter of decision, but... is it okay to accept it? "
“Yes, the selection of clothing, food and shelter facilities will be completed by the due date.”
The civil servant says.
... I don't know how long it will be... but let's make sure it's as complete as possible.
Assuming all the races on the list of slaves we got earlier, we need to secure food.
I can't give you something you can't eat, and I want to give you a sense of security if you want to be protected. ”
"Yes, I understand."
What about the expected number of people? ”
"Hah... I'd like to expect 50 people to be prepared as a maximum of 100 people.
Even if there are more than 50 people, you should be able to deal with it immediately. "
"Yes, I'll keep an eye on my leisure time."
"Yeah... if only you could survive 50 people..."
Even if some of the protected slaves are from our country, they will be handed over to the Demon Kingdom.
I'm sure we'll need it for our investigation.
After that, you'll be handed over to the devil's kingdom... and you'll have to look forward to the results of your research on lifting the slave collar. "
"That's right.
Well, we have longevity, and we will be able to get rid of it someday. "
That's right.
If so, I will take care of the reception.
Anything else? "
Yes, the brown rice refiner and shredder have arrived from Lord Levant of the Demon Kingdom.
"You're here!"
... that? Isn't it early? "
"Lord Kitamizato's workshop must have done its best."
The people in the kitchen have made a private room and brought it in.
We'll be working on it by now. ”
"I wonder if it's going well?"
According to Kita Mizato, the workload is about one-third. "
“Let's look forward to it.
Even so, they said, "Does it make sense to produce the rice that is now an export?"
No, I don't know. "
That's right.
The point is to use it.
It would be better to regard it as a warning that it is not necessary to fix the mindset. ”
“Let's teach everyone a lesson.
We also have a few more reports about our current territory. ”
Briani and the others were going to discuss it.

Office of the Devil Kingdom Valeri.
Valeri and Freddy and Annarolo were having a conversation.
How about that, Your Majesty?
Freddy asks Valerie.
"No... nothing... this is a territorial change plan, right?"
Valeri is staring at the map in front of her.
“Yes, it is the result of bringing the territory of the Kingdom of Briani more than it is today, and the territory of Viscount Fallon and Count Barni roughly the same size.”
"... is it a matter of size?
The Kingdom of Briani has merged its present Fallon and Barni locations into one-third of its northern and northeastern territory.
Fallon merged the western and southern parts of what is now Barni, and the western and central two-thirds of the Kingdom of Briani.
Barni ruled four-fifths of the occupied territory on the north side of the country of Demuro.
... Fallon is a strange form of territory on the western side of the kingdom of Briani.
There's a narrow connection... between the north and the east of the forest.
Huh? Is this the result of the cadres' consideration? "
Valeri asked in amazement.
Yes.
Freddy and Annarolo reply.
"Oh... I see... is this the result... heh..."
Huh? There's a central space between the Kingdom of Briani and the Kingdom of Azpar on the border with Fallon.
What is this? "
"Yes, in the customary war between the Demon Kingdom and the Azpar Kingdom, we will deal with 5,000 people at a time. However, even after the rearrangement of territory, if the number of people sent by Viscount Fallon is 2,500, the King's army will have to take care of the shortfall."
Also, if the Kingdom of Briani and the Kingdom of Azpar are going to engage in a conventional war, they will have to dispatch them as allies.
That's where the garrison is. "
Freddy says.
"The garrison... it's big enough to have towns and villages ready."
“Yes, we can't just do the military, so we're buying household goods, providing entertainment, and having a family town to live in.
How about being able to be somewhat self-sufficient...? "
Annaloro asks.
... uhm... first of all, I understood the idea of the garrison.
Can I ask you who you're going to let go? "
Valeri asked the two of them.
