Episode IX Get a report on the investigation into Eugene, Goblin & Oak

The first harvest festival in the pioneering land, and the day after Alice's birthday party.

As deputies for the city of Plumier, the tax collector in charge of pioneering land and Eugene, Kevin was talking about future pioneering plans in the space where the stump in front of the gate was placed.

Alice wanders around each of the residents taking the task.

Cloth costumes made in this world with birthday gifts on the chest. It was a warm Haruhi, but there was a fox muffler wrapped around his neck. It's a fashionista that starts the season. No, it just seemed like he wanted to brag about the gift.

Nico with Cotareau for you and Alice standing near Marcel and Marc, the dogs who farm. I want to brag about my gift, but I have nothing to say from myself. It is a complex maiden heart.

Marcel and Marc notice the appearance and exchange morning greetings. Oh, Alice, you're muffling me! You look great, compliments Marcel. Alice can flatter her face.

Marc, who saw his face, was mocking. Alice left with Stasta before Marc could say anything. Marc drops his shoulder disappointingly. Alice, she's squeaking a little bit about being cute. Of course it doesn't reach Alice's ear. Good luck, only Cotareau looked back at me all the time. Marc's Spring still seems a long way off.

Alice's next target was a team of woodworkers Tomas and assistants who encourage homemaking.

Apparently he's going to wander around in this outfit all day. You were so happy that Cottalow was also acting with Alice very fondly. She is a good looking after woman. It's a dog, though.

"The defensive force is fine, so I'm going to explore farmland during the winter to recruit some farmer migration hopefuls along with the snowmelt. There are people who can direct farm work, so maybe even retired adventurers. I'd like to start preparing my blacksmith during the winter months."

Kevin talks to deputies about his plans for exploration. The more Eugene hears Kevin's thoughts. I'm the head of the pioneering team. No, it may not be as strange as it sounds considering Kevin is a sponsor.

"Hmm...... Aren't you willing to accept criminal slavery? I don't care if you crush it."

A deputy who was listening to Kevin asks Eugene, the head of the pioneering team.

"A criminal slave, is it... Kevin told me about it, but I knew it was a little..."

Pioneering is heavy labor. Sure, it may be attractive as a workforce, but Eugene, who grew up in modern Japan, seemed resistant to criminal slaves who would be obliged to impose heavy labor in crude clothing and shelter.

Slaves in this world can repurchase their identity on their own. Besides, it is not uncommon for civilians to follow if they are specialized, like Marcel, who directs farming. For that reason Eugene was not so resistant, either, to being the slave of the dogs, the Lord of Marcel.

But when you become a criminal slave, it's not the story. Because slavery is a punishment, the Lord requires treatment below a certain standard, even though there is a causal offence. There is psychological resistance to Eugene and it is natural.

"If you have extra criminal slaves, why not use them to build the city and the road to this point? The two of us are pioneering now, but I think the content and environment are harsh. Besides... If you can get a luggage truck through, you can invite a blacksmith workshop here, and you can get more migrants, so your tax revenues will go up."

Kevin suggesting to the deputy without hesitation. The deputy thinks, Hmm.

Even though it's a criminal slave, if there's no affordable place to work, it's just a connection to a prison. It was Kevin's suggestion to discern the deputy's idea that it would be a waste of time to let him play.

It seems cold, but this is the reality of the other world. These two are still kinder for not letting them labor as barren as Syziphos.

Eugene could not enter into such a conversation between the two of them, but merely watched.

"It's just migration, but after the survey of the woods that the adventurers are doing right now? If there are any more goblins and oaks, it's just dangerous."

Did such Kevin's words become a calling water?

You heard Lord Eugene, the example adventurer is back.

In front of the gate of the Eugene house, a simple square where the stump was placed.

There, Eugene, Kevin, former Adventurer Party leader, and two adventurer parties back from the forest survey, The Wind of Night and Darkness. Moreover, it seems that the deputy who was in the land will be present.

"So, how was it? What do you got?

As the head of the pioneering team who requested the investigation, Eugene asks the two of them.

"Yeah. First, I discovered a settlement of goblins and oaks. The place is about two days southeast of here. Or two days northeast from the city of Plumier?"

The light warrior man from the adventurer party "Wind of Night Darkness" reports. Another scoundrel man also snorted at the words.

"Hmm. You're closer to the city than I expected."

It was the deputy of the city of Plumier who received the findings and accidentally opened his mouth. For him, it's more important that the city be attacked, even though it can be repelled, than that the pioneering land be crushed by monsters. He seemed to see it as a problem that it was close to the city.

"Yes, the numbers are, supposedly, about 300 goblins and oaks combined. Both Goblin and Oak confirmed the presence of females."

"Shit, you got a scalpel. If you don't crush it early, don't get any more."

Subsequently reacting to the report was the leader of the former Grade 3 adventurer party, The Dark Green Wind, which Eugene was surprised to hear of 300, but the problem seems to be that females exist and grow even more than that fact.

"Yeah, seniors. And I found the top species in the oak. Looks like Soyts is leading the herd as the boss. It also seemed like Soytz was directing Orc and Goblin to act together."

It's hard to imagine that Goblin and Oak, a separate species, would behave amicably. The presence of the superior species was expected from the beginning among the Adventurers Guild and their adventurers, but apparently so.

"So far, there are no people in the main sphere of action of the herd. It's just that there are settlement locations, the presence of females, and some superior species with heads around...... We both think we need to crush it as soon as possible. And of course I'm going to report that to the Alliance."

A light warrior in The Wind of Night and Darkness who concludes his report by saying so and summing it up briefly. Scope of action based on handwritten maps, location of settlements, etc., will also appear to be reported later. Looks like he decided to pass on the gist first when he saw the deputies, the head of the pioneering group, the patrons, their predecessors and the important people gathering. Because the judgment around here is a third-degree adventurer who combines strength and reliability.

"Lord Eugene, Lord Kevin, what are you going to do? Considering the distance from the city, you can send out the lead."

Following the deputy's throw, Eugene turns to Kevin.

I am the head of the pioneering group, and I see the report compiled by Kevin, but adding Eugene's share of preserved food is negative revenue and expenditure as a pioneering ground. Although it is normal for the first year of the pioneering group. It would be the right decision for Eugene to have waved to Kevin, his sponsor.

"Thank you. But I'm going to ask the Adventurer Guild. I want to put on the face of the Alliance Master, and I want to keep the connection between the Pioneering Regiment and the Adventurer Alliance deeper. I'm just going to ask you to help me with my request."

Kevin seems to have chosen to be annihilated by adventurers rather than lead soldiers.

Right, understandably, a deputy who acknowledges the decision with few words. Crushing the settlement seemed crucial to him and not a question of who would do it. There was also a calculation that overall, only aid was less expensive than moving leading soldiers.

Ask the Adventurer Alliance to put on the face of a previously pushed Alliance Master. Of course, Kevin's head also works the thought that as an adventurer guild who wants to send retired adventurers to pioneering lands, he won't send anyone who can't use them. The thought of not wanting to make as much debt as possible to the Lady of Lords and deputies.

"So, Mr. Eugene. Come with me when we get back to the city. Crush and kill the settlement before it's really winter and snow."

The usual grin lurks a shadow and Kevin speaks to Eugene with a serious look.

Sharp eyes and noisy Kevin words.

While pressed by the force, Eugene replied yes.

No, it just seemed like that was all I could say to Kevin's power with two names: "The Battle Merchant," who finally showed one scale.

The temper of those who lived in a bloody world close to life and death still seemed elusive to Eugene.
