299 Episode Four Exclusive Villagers

Side: Nora

I like money above all else.

Everyone appreciates me as an unusual child who is only interested in creation magic and money, but my hard work in creation magic is also a way to make money.

Why do you like money? Every time I'm asked, I always say this.

"In the end, people are ruled because they are not nobles or emperors, but because they are money." Even an emperor can't defy money. There's no way you don't like such fascinating money, is there?

When asked about this, most people do not pursue it any further with a face that they are forced to convince.

Of course, this is the reason for the retrospective. Because it sounds smart, I am answering this question.

But the truth is, I want to go beyond my father and mother, who have longed for me since I was a little girl.

If I take over from my father or mother, I can be the richest man in the world without any trouble.

If you just like money, I should choose my path.

But I'm not going to lead such a boring life.

Make a lot of money on your own. And one day, I will cross the dad and mother who stand at the top of this world.

Such a big dream... I wonder if I'm going to grab it here.

“This is the best fishing village on the boardwalk.”

After finishing our business with Frank, we were immediately escorted to the fishing village.

What... half of the village isn't inhabited.

The villagers are too thin and thin to look very healthy.

The fishing village I was introduced to... was a very shabby village that was unlikely to fulfill my big dreams.

"Why are you here?"

I tried my best to swallow what I was about to say, but as usual, the unshakeable rose burst in without hesitation.

At a time like this, I envy Rosé's bold and graphic character.

"There are disadvantages to having fewer people than other fishing villages, but I think it will be easier to build a city from that amount. And most of all, it's the closest street. If you are going to trade, shouldn't you consider such a location?”

Sure, that's right.

Well, I know you know, but it looks like you recommended this place to me to be Frank.

Especially when it came to the street, it was very helpful because it was completely out of my mind.

Fufufu. We'll be able to do something about the number of people, and we'll be able to build a base in a very good location.

After all, I was right to ask Frank.

"What do you think? Are you okay here?"

“Yes, I think this is a good place too. How about Rosé?"

"I think that's good, too."

"Alright, that's it." Well then, let's go see the village chief. "

"Ri, Lord!" I am very sorry for the delay in greeting you. What can I do for you this time? "

When I came to the house where the village chief lived, the village chief came flying out and rubbed his head on the ground.

Oh my... well, from the village chief's point of view, it's like being above the clouds.

"These two want to do business here." I'm going to support it. "

Frank didn't pay attention to the attitude of the village chief, so he got to the point.

"Maybe it's a common occurrence..."

I-Is this it?

"Well, there's nothing wrong with you guys, so you don't have to worry about that much."

I see.

There's no way you can disagree with your lord saying that.

When I saw the village chief who would never raise his head, I understood once again how blessed he was.

"In the meantime, is there any land left?" The buildings will be built by us, so don't worry about it. "

Well, then, I'll be a bit far away from here, but there is a land with a good view.

"I see. Let me show you there."

Yes.

This is it, right here.

"Yeah. Nice view. In any case, the village will grow bigger in the future, and at this distance, it won't be a problem."

The village chief took me to the top of the hill, not far from the village.

The view of the ocean from a slightly higher point is also great.

"I see. Well, I'll talk to the village chief about the harbor, so you two should be ready to build a base."

Got it.

"Well... I can't build a house with the materials I have." In the meantime, I wonder if I'll be living in a tent for the time being. "

I pitched my tent while saying so after Frank and the others saw me off.

Oh, this isn't just a tent, is it? A magical tent with an expanded interior space, created to mimic your father's tent.

If it's a material, feel free to use what's in it.

"What? Are you okay? Didn't I save you up to build a ship?"

The base is important, but not enough to use valuable materials.

I think it's a waste to use the materials that Rosé has collected here.

“Fine, there's a lot of it that I can't use on my own anyway.”

If you can tell me that, I'll be happy to use it.

"Roger that...? This is the dragon's scales?"

I received a magic bag from Rose, and as I looked inside, I happened to take out the red dragon scales.

Speaking of which, you said that you had also defeated the dragon...

That's right. There are so many of them, why don't you turn it into a roof tile?

"... my sister is amazing, isn't she?"

I knew it was amazing for a long time, but I didn't know it was my sister who told me to turn a rare dragon's scales into tiles.

"Even your creation magic is amazing." With this much material, you could make a great house. "

"Yes. For the time being, I thought I'd make a house big enough for two people to live in... but I think it would be better to make it an office house."

There were a lot of trees from the Magic Forest, and I could afford three floors.

Also, there are some very good materials, so you don't have to use magic stones to make magic items.

Of course, the image is determined by the rise of money.

Okay. We're going to use it for decades, so we're going to create it without compromising a bit.

"Yeah, yeah. It's not my bad design though, is it?" Rose, what do you think? "

It took him about thirty minutes to complete our base.

The first and second floors were offices, and the third floor was our living space.

The president's office and my bedroom had the best view of the sea on each floor.

Fufufu. Rose can't open her curtains all year round, so she won't complain.

"I think it's good."

"Huh. That's it? I did my best, so give me a little more feedback."

"A house can be anything if the storm blows."

"What is the young lady saying that she has been retreating for more than a decade!" It can be a little bit of surprise or exclamation..... "

I didn't expect that much, but you can tell me it's amazing.

Really, it's boring.

"Oh, yeah!? What is this building?!"

"Ah, Mayor. Are you surprised? I'm glad."

I was overjoyed by the surprised sound of my frustration with the cold rose blowing away in an instant.

Now I have to give the village chief some magic items to say hello for the move.

Fufufu. I'm sure he'll make a good sound again.

"Is this the magic power Lord... you mentioned..."

"That's right. What about you, Mr. Frank?"

Speaking of which, the village chief isn't alone.

Aren't you two talking to each other?

You just left.

Huh? Did you change it? Let me just say thank you.

Well, I'm a busy person, so I guess I don't have a choice. Next time I see you, I'll have to repay you.

I understand. For now, Mr. Mayor, I think you'll have a long relationship.

"Yes, yes, thank you"

"Oh, we're not almost noble anymore, so we don't need a salute." Now that you're going to be living in the same place, let's talk more casually. ”

This kind of wording can be the first step to unexpectedly opening your mind.

In order to get along with the villagers, we need to take them out from the village chief.

"I see... I see. I'm the village chief in charge of this village... Logan." May I ask your names again...? "

“Of course. I'm Nora. So, this is my sister, Rosène."

“Nora and Rosène, I need to tell you something.”

What is it?

Saying that again... this village is already on the verge of being abandoned?

Well, if you owe me something, I can do it for you.

It wouldn't be cheap to win the trust of the villagers.

"There are many very exclusive people in this village. I can help, but if you want the villagers to harass you, you need to tell me right away."

What? Exclusivity? Rejecting the outsiders?

"It's exclusive..."

I think it is very unpleasant.

To make money in the trade, there must be a lot of people coming from outside.

If they hate it... then they might have to change their base.

”I think they're kind-hearted... so I don't think they're going to wave until they're violent...”

"I'm fine with that." We're stronger than the monsters around here. "

"Besides, getting to know people is a necessary ability for a merchant." You don't have to worry about it. "

I tried to tell myself, but I was convinced after I said it was actually the case.

If we don't capture the hearts of this small village, we won't beat the best merchant in the world (Mom).

"... All right, I'll try my best."

"Thank you. In the meantime, why don't we all have a feast tonight?" I'm sure that if you eat and drink together, you will open your heart a little. Of course, I'll give you food. ”

"No, there don't seem to be many. There are forty people in this village." Can you get that kind of food? By the way, the village has been depleting its food reserves for some time. ”

Oh, that's a good thing to hear.

If we solve the food problem, we'll get along a little bit.

“It's okay, I'm looking forward to a delicious meal.”

"... All right. I'll tell the villagers about the feast."

Side: Village Chief

My head was about to explode.

Thinking that a lord who had never visited this village suddenly appeared, I entrusted two girls to build a house in an instant. And the girls said that they wanted to get along with the villagers who hated the outsiders on that stonehead.

This is not something I can beat with my understanding!

"Mayor! What were the nobles like now?" What is that house that came out of nowhere!? "

When I came back to the village with my head in my hand, the villagers immediately took me in.

Hah, I don't understand myself... but how do I explain it?

"Well, wait, I'll explain now. For now, gather the adults of the village to the square.”

In the meantime, I decided to buy time and figure out how to explain it to the villagers in the meantime.

Twenty minutes later, all the villagers gathered in the square.

"Mayor! What happened?" You've never seen a lord come here before, have you? Could it be that you were angry that people were dwindling? ”

"No, it doesn't matter." It's a different matter this time. "

I wish I had had more time to think, but I'm running out of time.

So, what do you have for the daughters on that hill?

"Ah, the daughters of the aristocrats, whom the Lord had entrusted to me." Looks like we're starting some kind of business here. "

I tried to explain their purpose so as not to provoke the villagers as much as possible.

No, is there any explanation for this?

"In a place like this? Are they serious?!"

I knew it. People out there are crazy.

Ha, I knew it wasn't working out.

As expected, I scratched my head quietly with my right hand.

We have no choice. We need to make a strong warning here.

"I won't tell you guys to get along without force. But this time, you can't just try to kick me out like you always do! This is not a request, this is an order. Do you understand?"

It was the first time since I became a village chief that I used the word "order".

I wish I could finish my life without using it once.

"Hey! Does that mean that the village chief has allowed them to live here from now on?!"

“Huh, you think I have the right to veto?”

In response to a stupid question, I sighed deeply.

Since there's only one person who doesn't think about it, I don't think it's strange that it's a strange custom that has been going on since time immemorial.

It may be too late... but if you can afford the village, I'll hire a teacher to teach the children common sense first.

"Huh? Can't you say no? I mean, even though you've been kicking everybody out, there weren't any punitive penalties."

That's what I was allowed to do because it wasn't in the Lord's ear.

Huh, if I had explained this one by one, I wouldn't have cut it.

"Those two are aristocrats. If anything happens to both of you, you'll kill everyone here! Don't forget about this, right?"

Realizing that it was impossible to explain, I quickly threatened to listen.

You know you're going to die, and there's no stupidity in it.

"... All right. We can't get anything out of it." You're not welcome, either. "

“That's enough at first. Alright, it's been a long time since we had a feast! The men are ready for all kinds of drinks!"

As soon as we get the minimum we need, we need to get ready for the feast.

It sucks that they came down the hill and weren't prepared for anything.

"Mayor, that's not good for stones." This is a time of low fish stocks. Do you think luxury is forbidden? "

It was Gallo who had not uttered a single word in the village before.

Even in this situation, I think it's a stony thing to say when you think about the village first.

"Don't worry, I'll keep the fish for today." The rest of the food will be prepared by the other side. "

"Hey! You want us to feed you?!"

"Shut up! Don't complain because you can eat free rice!" Come on, get ready! It's booze. Prepare all the booze! ”

I made a stupid statement and got the villagers to get to work.

Now, I'm going to drink a lot of booze today. Take enough alcohol to skip the memories.
