175 Chapter 11-9 Houst Borderline Bojia

"Well, that's good to know that the request is complete."

"Oh, thank God. With the extra knights in formation, it's almost impossible to get out of this formation with that number. Thanks to the walls made by Lord Tenma."

A few days after the day he behaved in Wye juice, the Border Army swelled to a total of more than 10,000 because of the arrival of additional personnel from the Border Bell Army and reinforcements from other nobles. That is the number of noble knights and soldiers alone, so if we include even the adventurers, it will be nearly fifteen thousand.

Moreover, the knights who came as reinforcements in advance were also informed that spies had been discovered and captured, so they organized a gendarmerie with trusted men from their respective armies to keep their eyes open, making it harder for the spies to operate than before. Incidentally, the knights who came to the reinforcements had already been told that the deputy commander's secretary was a spy and was about to make a scene, but an order had been issued in advance to the executives of the Duke of Sanga and the Marquis of Sammons to tell them what was going on and take the side of the deputy commander, so it quickly subsided. It should be noted that the two reinforcements accounted for only a little over 20% of the total when combined, but since the Borderline Bergamot Army was originally in the majority, the other noble armies could not seem to say anything in a situation where there was not even 30% of the total combined.

"The walls have been strengthened since then, so I don't think it will break in a few things... but be careful with their earthly magic. I think we should reinforce it early. And if you can, not just stones, but trees, iron, etc. will last longer against magic attacks."

I compress the dirt walls as much as I can, but it would be pretty good if they were decomposed by dirt magic. Therefore, by reinforcing it with stones, trees, iron, etc., it is necessary to have an idea that stretches the time to be destroyed at all. I told the deputy director that the materials had already been ordered.

"And I need a favor..."

"If someone asks me for my opinion about your son, I'm going to stay out of this... Lion asked me, but I'm not going to interfere internally."

If I talk about this, if I'm bad, I might build a weird faction inside the Borderline House. If anyone was a relative of Uncle Borderline and was thinking of taking over, he would do enough to use my powers. Whatever, there's a royal family behind me, and the world has now assumed the perpetrator's side in the Kukri Village case. I'll look like a convenient god if I try to be one of those people who thinks things out loud.

So I'm going to stay neutral on the secretary's case. Of course, that's what I'm asking for in return.

"Even for me, I would like to have a friendly relationship with Mr. Borderline (...) and Mr. Lyla (...)."

If someone I don't know hears it, it's a line I'm likely to mistake for threatening the deputy commander, but the deputy commander seems relieved. Instead, Lion looked disgusted. Because the contact person at the Borderline House against me is Lion. And because it is also Lion who struggles. Well, I'm giving the names of the borderline bosses and deputy commanders, but the point is that I'm going to use Lion.

"So, you want to go to Uncle Borderline? Lion, I need directions."

"Oh, leave it to me..."

It was a less energetic response than usual as to whether I cared that I was being rewarded, but it would soon go back to normal... in three steps, though it would not be in the boulder.

"Well, first of all, it's a town in between. Come on, everybody, get in the carriage!

My first destination is the town I stopped by before I got here, and my first man is Mr. Chris. What makes Mr. Chris so uptight...

"Miss... are you out of clothes to wear already? Let's do some laundry. No, guh!

"No, I'm not!

"Lion, the clothes and underwear were washed by Jeanne and Aura, so no matter how bad Chris is at chores, it's not! I'm sure I can't tell people, I just made embarrassing dirt!

"Shut up, Amur, too!

Lion was looking at Mr. Chris with a frightened look, about fist bones, and Amur was gently wiggling Mr. Chris' fists. Well, it's not weird that Mr. Chris is a bad housekeeper now, and Jeanne and I are taking care of everything around us.

Looking at Mr. Chris with that in mind, Mr. Chris began to elucidate somewhat but all gently flushed and boarded the carriage. Well, the "embarrassing dirt" is the dirt that was made when I got drunk and vomited from the alcohol I drank when I was off duty. Mr. Chris seems to be hiding it, but with Amur's snitch, we all know it. Afterwards, I heard Lion getting beat up again, but nobody said anything because it was the usual thing.

"I can't believe this last inn, can I? Somewhat accommodating over there."

At Lion's suggestion, I headed to the inn where I had stayed before... when I received the key, I was told, "Don't make a commotion like this before," with a look that only my eyes hadn't laughed at... Lion.

"I'm the next owner of this territory, right?

No one answered Lyon's whining as one, and each headed early enough to the assigned room. Well, Chris left the room immediately and went shopping at the store where he was handling his clothes.

"Still, this town's getting a lot busier, too."

"That would be so. I can't believe this town is the most valuable place in the Haust Border Border Bo Territory."

Well, since the time of war would be the time when prices would go up the most, this town near the border of a situation that is close to it would be great for a merchant to base.

"That'll be until the border stabilizes, too."

"Bye. Because of Tenma's activity, some of the merchants who think and calculate what is to come will also show up to lose a lot. Well, you deserve it."

Normally, we would be able to expect considerable profits from the construction of bases and the business of military opponents, but the most expensive of them is already done by my magic. Moreover, the Deputy Head of Delegation said that he was ordering reinforcement materials with a floating budget immediately. In other words, merchants will be selling to the Border Army at regular or discounted prices before they raise their prices.

Even if we are going to make money from materials, we can hardly expect demand when it comes to the fence, and if the enemy forces raise it when we see that the base is ready, it is possible that other businesses will also make less money. When that happens, it is also possible that only debt will increase due to good and tons or, if it is bad, transportation costs.

"Well, don't you need to think that far? It's every person, and I just did what Uncle Border asked me to do."

"It is. I think it would be better if Uncle Borderline were better than the merchants."

Whatever happens, that'll just have to be thrown round to my client, Uncle Borderline. In the first place, we are accompanied by Lyon, so all responsibility lies with Lyon.

"What we got was a commission, a glory of Wyburn exorcism, profits from materials, and a little help on the border... so, okay?

"" "No objection!

When he finished his playful story with Grandpa and looked back and asked the faces he had heard behind him, Amur, Albert and Cain replied out loud. Now that we have the majority's approval, we have decided to make this our basic policy.

"Hey, I'm glad I was able to unify my opinions before meeting with Uncle Borderline, I'm glad"

"No, we haven't been able to unify!

Lion is the only one on this scene to show opposition, but was naturally rejected.

"Phew... it's getting higher than before... what's the matter with you?

"Listen to me, Mr..."

I just dismissed Lion's opinion, and Chris, who finished shopping, came back. Did Mr. Chris feel uncomfortable with the atmosphere in the room or spoke to Lion, who was nearest to him. Lion may have tried to create one or more endorsers just here...

"Naturally, I have no objection either!

It was. Well, whatever you think is natural.

Now everyone except Lion is on my side... or it is clear that only Lion is arguing against it.

"Then disperse till dinner! Each of you, when you go outside after this, report it properly to someone before you go! Especially Jeanne and Aura"

The two of them have previously gone out to Namitaro without saying anything and have committed such malfunctions as being grabbed as they are, so I cautioned them by name just in case. I don't think that's going to happen because we've both grown into boulders since then, but it's Aura who fails at those times, so I've never gone beyond caution.

"Why are you naming me?"

Aura seemed dissatisfied, but Jeanne was nodding. Well, if you know one thing, you'll be fine. I couldn't help but ignore Aura, and each one scattered in thoughts. It should be noted that the named Aura did not like to go out and be told anything, and never came out of the room until dinner.

"There. That's Shellhide, where my father lives in the heart of the Houst Borderlands!

Two days after we left the town near the border, we arrived in the city in the heart of the Haust Frontier Uncle. Sherheid, the heart of the Borderline Bell Territory, was built using vast hills throughout the city, surrounded by walls. And they say there are a number of fields inside the walls that use water that is gushing from all over the city. This seems to be because it was made in anticipation of the Battle of the Castle when it was invaded by neighboring countries and others.

"Well, the truth is, he said the castle had only been there once before. And it was quite a while ago, and it was over in a few days, so I don't think I really know how much I can stand it."

Not because the castle was also surrounded directly, but because there was a shellhide overlapping the enemy's marching path, it was a caged castle for interception, but it could be driven back in the field before it was approached. Besides, since the subsequent counter-attacks succeeded in expanding the territory, you think Shelheid was supposed to be a long way off the border? Well, if there were such a frequent battle over the castle, the residents wouldn't be accumulated.

"Speaking of specialties, don't be a horse for once"

"Edible?"

Amur reacted quickly to Lion's explanation, but unfortunately, he said it was about a military horse.

"There are plenty of plains and hills around here, and just grazing them properly will naturally strengthen your horse's ankles."

Is it for that reason that military horses produced near 'Shellhide' are traded at high prices? Well, even those first-rate military horses wouldn't compare to Ryden.

"Tenma, Ryden has a chance to stand out!

"No, Ryden doesn't have to be here, he's prominent enough."

In Amur's words, Cain calmly twitched. Amur was convinced, "That's true too," but I watched closely. This time your grandfather reacted to Amur's words and put his strength in his hand holding the reins, but he noticed my gaze and hurriedly took his hand off the reins.

"Lyon, let me ask you for a moment...... here to the boulder, 'Who are you? Doesn't happen, does it?

"It's all right! Maybe..."

"Okay! Thousand G's, I don't know!

"Me too!

"Me too!

"I got in!

"This time!

Albert, Cain, Mr. Chris, Amur and Aura, now it's time for Lion to do it! I was hoping. By contrast, Grandpa and Jeanne "" don't have that in boulders, "" he bet those who could tell this time. And...

"I dare you...... you're an idiot"

The result was, naturally, 'I know'. Well, if you still don't know who Lion is here, you should also think about dismissing Lion as his successor. Or punish those who did not know in the name of Lyon. If you punish him the most, you will almost certainly know Lyon's face, but it will have a reputation for 'the man who punished those who did not know his successor's face'.

"No, the boulder knew that."

"I knew it, but... it's funnier if you didn't know,"

"No, well... it's not Lion who meets our expectations here"

"I thought Lion would do it..."

"I have a dime..."

Albert and Cain seem to have wagered 'I Don't Know (Romance)' because they know the results but they look interesting, but Chris seems to have wagered 'Maybe' with the expectation that Amur and Aura wouldn't totally know...

"Well, that's all you have to do to play and meet Uncle Haust Borderline, so it's time to change your mind"

We are currently on our way to Uncle Borderline's mansion, guided by the knights called by the gatekeeper. The two men who won the bet were in charge. At first, Jeanne and Aura were supposed to be your guests, but Grandpa said, "If something unforeseen happens, I want to know what's going on out there," and replaced Aura. Well, the real deal would be, "Is there something interesting?"

But this thought of Grandpa didn't seem to have accumulated if you tried it on the knights of the Borderline Uncle. Whatever it was back in the day, in the tense feeling of welcoming the troubled Kukri Village celebrities, I was trying to calm my mind by speaking to you first, and suddenly (Amur, Chris said) it was the appearance of the Las Bosses class. For this reason, the knight, who spoke without realizing his grandfather, realized who he was a few seconds after he spoke to him, and became too surprised to solidify.

"That knight, if it were you sitting beside Master Merlin, the shock would have stopped his heart."

And that's as much as Mr. Chris said after the knight rebooted. Moreover, as if to corroborate it, a knight who has been consolidated, while on the move, against a fellow knight,

"I think my life span has shrunk... I wish Master Lion had sat down..."

Or so much as he said in a whisper. Lion, the future Lord for the knights, may have become some kind of tranquilizer.

"Still, it's just a city built using hills, that's a lot of slopes. Lyden wouldn't worry, but it'd be tough being another horse."

"Well, because of that, there are a lot of different laws than the rest of the city. Some merchant from around here often gets the attention of the guards."

By "law," Lion said, he meant 'other than pedestrians, basically one-way' in most of Shellhide's roads and 'restrictions on right turns'.

It seems that there are many accidents in Sherhide with many ramps that occur when carriages and the like are different. As a measure, they are making efforts to reduce carriage and horse contact accidents by basically limiting one-way traffic and right turns on roads other than Boulevard.

Some roads are one-way or there is a ban on turning right and left in some of the corners in other cities, but the ban seems to be about Shelheid in the majority of the city, and the carriage of merchants and adventurers who visit it at the beginning violates it without knowing it? It should be noted that only caution that it is the first violation, and from the second time on, it will be a fine. Later, it seems that the violation money varies depending on the cumulative number of violations and the violation situation.

"Looks like you've arrived."

I felt the carriage slowing down and looked out the window and I was just about to stop in front of a big gate.

The gatekeepers seemed surprised by Lyden, but the accompanying knight and Lyon's description promptly opened the gate and led them to a place where they could park the carriage.

"Sorry, I'll go ahead and get ready"

"I'm coming with you."

"Me too."

Not only Lyon, but Albert and Cain both left once. Perhaps the two of them have received some instructions from their fathers.

"Outside, it could be a guide to handling Tenma...... Ugh!

The moment Aura said something weird, Jeanne, who was next door, let go of her handkerchief on Aura's side. "What if I leak a story to Aina via Chris?" with caution.

I noticed my loss (never against me) with those words, and I rushed to ask Aura, who was terrified of Chris' complexion, but Chris just laughed nibbly when he saw something funny. Aura was scared to the point of exaggerating when she saw it, but to be honest, I thought that look on Chris's face was scary too, so Aura would have no choice but to be scared.

Waiting in the carriage like that, Shiloumal noticed someone was approaching and informed me. So Jeanne went outside and checked, and it was the maid of honor who came to show us to Uncle Borderline.

"This way."

Following the woman's guide, following the back in the order of me, Grandpa, Amur, Mr. Chris, Jeanne and Aura, there was a door guarded by the two knights a short walk away.

"We've taken our customers. Please open the door."

After a moment of bewildering bareback, the knights immediately gave a token and opened the door.

"Thank you very much."

When the woman told the knights that, she stepped into the room, standing at our head. When I followed the woman into the room, I saw a man sitting in a sturdy looking chair about two to thirty meters away. Situationally, that man would be the houst border uncle. In the evidence, there were three people standing alongside a carpet that lasted all the way to the man's sight, standing alongside each other in adultery.

The three of them all looked surprised by something, but they didn't do anything to speak out about whether they were putting a place on the boulder.

The woman who led us continued to walk without showing us the bare gesture that she cared a little bit about when she said she was in front of Uncle Border.

"Please wait here"

So I guided him to a distance of about ten meters from Borderline Uncle, and I moved straight next to Borderline Uncle. By the way, Jeanne and Aura followed us into the room, but as soon as they did, they were moving into the corner of the room. This is because they are allowed to enter the room because they are my servants (maids), but they are not allowed to stand in front of Uncle Borderline.

"Ah..."

When the woman became relative to us next to Uncle Borderline, Mr. Chris leaked a voice like he noticed something. And there's a pretty surprising vibe coming from Mr. Chris.

"What's wrong, Mr. Chris?

I'm right behind you. Talking to Mr. Chris in a whisper without turning around,

"I just realized that the man who led us this far... is Mr. Borderline's wife."

Words like that came back from Mr. Chris.

The unexpected answer was that not only I, but my grandfather and Amur, who were listening, accidentally looked at Mr. Chris for a moment, and immediately saw the woman as much as they wanted. At the end of his sight, he can see Lion holding his head. The woman who turned out to be 'ma'am', unlike such a lion, looked as happy as the prank had succeeded.
