Chapter 49: I’ll make a road for you

Good morning, Dant-san! Did you manage to sleep well last night?

Ah, Luke-sama, good morning. Yes, thanks for the accommodations.

Dant-san seemed refreshed this morning, like a weight was lifted off his shoulders.

He didnt look so well yesterday, but it was probably just because of the long journey he had.

Similarly, Dant-sans guards who looked even worse than him yesterday were now also looking better.

Luke-sama, there were so many things that surprised me yesterday that I forgot to tell you somethingUpdated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Dant-san suddenly put on a serious expression.

Naturally, that made me wonder what he wanted to say.

For taking in the people of the North, I sincerely thank you.

Oh, okayactually, I think I should apologize for that. I mean, I did take away some of your citizens

No, please dont. Its entirely my fault for allowing their living conditions to deteriorate to the point theyre forced to leave their homes. So, rather than reproach you, I would rather thank you.

Thank goodness hes not angry for that.

AndI realize this is awfully shameless of me, but can you perhaps sell some of your food to us? To be frank, the North is currently suffering from famine

Apparently, they werent able to harvest many crops this year.

Add in the taxes and

At the moment, we had no way to make clothes in the village, so everyone was washing and re-wearing the same clothes over and over again.

If possible, I would like to have completed several deals already with Dant-san before winter really kicks in. Snow and other things would hinder travel, after all.

Afterwards, Dant-san notified me that they would be departing as soon as possible.

I asked him to stay a little longer, but he wanted to go back and notify the merchant company right away.

And so, I traveled with them up to the outer walls gate to send them off.

Please come visit again.

I definitely willI look forward to what this village has become by then.

Haha, itll probably be the same.

When Dant-san boarded his carriage, I suddenly thought of something.

Ahh! Traveling though this wasteland must be tough, right? Ill make a road for you.

excuse me?

I made the road in the village stretch all the way to the end of the end of the bumpy wasteland. I couldnt see all of it, but I somehow knew that it reached that far.

Like this, even the merchants who would come here wouldnt have to suffer a bumpy journey.

Thank you, Luke-sama(so much for remaining the same. The village has changed before I even left!)
