A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 371:
Diego and the others carried most of the materials and food, as did other caravans.
It is unclear whether it was purchased in territory located near the Baron of Amendura, or whether it came from the territory of the Count of Werg, but it was a large-scale transport using as many as ten large trucks loaded with various materials.
Naturally, there were many people to accompany, and there were many horses to tow the cargo, but the Earl of Werg would be rich proof of that. Or do you find enough “value” in Baron Amondola's territory?
Many of the materials loaded in the wagon were wood, followed by food, and other materials, such as iron and brick, were found in small quantities. There are also sealed pots inside, but perhaps salt and spices.
"This will be a catalogue of the materials we have brought in this time."
Thank you very much.
Even though they know each other, Collard and Diego interact with each other manly because of their official position as quasi-bars and knights. However, when the catalogue was handed over, both moderated the atmosphere.
"But I was really surprised. I was told that we started work about a month ago, but I wonder if this has taken shape... is this also due to Lord Collard's arm?
"Hahaha... there's nothing serious about what I did. No, really...."
Collard leaks a dry laugh at Diego as he leans his neck. I asked Calvin and the others to get it off the wagon because I couldn't keep the materials that Diego and the others brought me.
Led by Calvin, he begins to happily move the lumber brought in. Given the speed of dwarf work, all the wood may disappear as building material in less than three days.
As a result, Collard's laughter seeped into the sound of abandonment, but Diego took it in a different sense.
"I think it's going to be necessary for construction, and I've brought a lot of wood... I should have picked something else. It's still hard to make a decision without knowing the local situation."
That's what Diego was looking at. There were piles of trees harvested in the surrounding forests.
It is in the process of sorting trees that could be used as straight as possible as building materials, dropping branches, peeling bark, and carrying them into town for drying.
Calvin said that he only sorted out those trees that seemed to dry quickly, but nearly a hundred logs had already been prepared by the dwarves.
It seems to be dried while being processed as wood from time to time, but it seems that it will take some time to use it as a building material.
The surrounding forest also has a large number of trees that have been cut down. It seems to dry naturally, but I didn't hear much about Reurus.
They cut down and dried trees that could be used for wood and furniture materials even though they could not be used for other building materials. Once these trees are ready to be used as building materials, the number of houses that can be built will increase at once.
Since monster raids can occur frequently when towns and forests are close by, the trees around the town are being felled as much as possible. The amount is very large, but it will eventually widen the area of logging because it is not acceptable to build a town.
But it's about the future, not the present. When Diego noticed that he was a little depressed, Reurus opened his mouth looking at the inventory of materials.
"By the way, what about the payment? Señor... no, I have some money from Baron Amondola, but there are also various materials of monsters caught in this land.
"As for me, I would be more grateful if it were made of monster material. No matter what happens, it's not working!
Whether it's a joke or not, Collard listens to Reurus and rides on it immediately. Natalia has plenty of money in her pocket, but if she doesn't have to spend it, she'll never get past it.
Lead Diego to the inside of the fort - the corner where the monster's materials are located.
It is a place like a tent made of simple wood and clothed on the side so as not to get wet by rain. There is a narrow and monster material, and Diego looks at it and pulls her cheeks slightly.
"... I heard it was a land with a lot of monsters, but do you have a lot of materials?
There were a number of materials there, including horned rabbit fur, horns, giant camellia sickles, strange bird feathers, devil dog fur and fangs, fur and hands of haunted bears, liver that became medicine, and black snake leather.
However, there is no meat. Some of them become dried meat for workers' meals and preserved food, but more than that, the reus eats from one end.
With regard to furs and leather, dwarves tanned (licked) at night, all of which were of such quality that they could be sold instantly. So Diego, who took the horny rabbit fur for a try, roared.
"Besides, this is a brilliant aftertreatment... it's a big deal. But there are so many....."
"We've had fewer deals with the people who brought us the materials so far, and we've had fewer of them. We took more than 50 by the time we got here, and we took more after we started working here. Uh... about 200... 300?
Many of them are junior monsters, but some of them are intermediate monsters. There are only two varieties of black snakes and black bears, both of which sell fairly well.
Even the weakest monster, the horn rabbit, gets a good price for horns and furs. Bears and black snakes are huge, and they sell at a high price because of the amount of material they can take.
(I think the ecosystem is safe, but in a month, 300 animals... I don't think it's that many when I think about around 10 animals a day... I don't think the weak monsters will settle around the rocky mountains that are part of the Griffon territory, so I wonder if they've escaped here...)
It is also possible that the monsters have moved in search of new territory from other places as the Reurus hunted monsters around the town. It is annoying to proceed with the construction of the town, but it is said to be a long and short term because it becomes the material for the transaction.
"Oh, is this Temperance leather... and it's of good quality... Louis-sama said that the cost of the materials is“ cheap ”, but what should I do..."
Apparently, Diego leaks a distressing voice about the deal.
"... Mr. Collard, I think it's rude to tell you, but are you sure you're okay paying with monster materials? Mr. Collard said it was zero, right?
Reurus lurks his voice and waves to Collard. I was risking my life fighting monsters, but I felt guilty of exchanging the materials I had brought from afar for free (free) materials.
Collard then turned a blind eye to Reurus.
"I know what you're trying to say, but if that's how the deal works, then what do you say? And even if it wasn't original, the opponent was an intermediate monster. It's a rare encounter and a very dangerous one. Besides, the materials are robust and have a lot of use... they are valuable."
Collard just said it would be fine if he didn't have to pay for it, but he looked at Diego who chose the material and somehow put his right hand around his stomach.
"... while telling myself that I rarely encounter it, there are a lot of materials rolling in front of me... it's strange... my common sense is about to collapse..."
"There's a herd of Griffons in the distance.
"I don't want to remember, so I'll stop talking about it...."
Reurus and Collard interact with Hisohiso. In the meantime, Diego smiles when she thinks she has repaired some of the materials.
"So why don't you take one temper leather and three Orzo furs and three livers?
"... no? Well, that's a lot less, then. Could I pick a few more?
"No, until I obey Lord Lewis... and this is part of the support for Baron Amendora."
Diego said it with a smile that couldn't feel the back. When he heard that, Reurus asked Collard again in a whisper.
"... by the way, how much would it cost to sell materials in another town?
"The temperament leather is quite expensive, but even if combined with other materials, it would be 30,000 yuan in total. The cost of purchasing the materials sent this time is also" feeble. "
(It's about 3 million yen... considering the cost of purchasing materials, transportation costs, salaries involved in dangerous transportation, etc...)
Diego said it was part of Louis' support, but Reurus was a little worried that he would accept it honestly. Collard's right, materiel is too cheap.
However, I didn't think it would be as cheap as the debt to build a home in the abandoned city of Laval.
"... if that's what Louis says, it's kind of sweet. I suppose I've talked to Baron Amendora beforehand...."
"Please do. My lord also said he would definitely visit the town at dawn."
Reurus and Collard nodded back to Diego smiling.
"Hmm... you don't mind if I take anything but meat?
That evening, Reurus, who dropped off the materials and quickly turned back to see Diego, was chatting as Sarah roasted the flesh of the baked monster.
"But the fact that the price of the transaction is not proportionate is certainly not a disturbing story... even though it is the result of the uprooting that Natalia was doing in King's Landing."
"Hmm... don't you care about me? I don't think there's a problem if Natalia is talking....."
"... if you're building a whole house, that's fine."
I eat while talking about what happened today. Reurus also occasionally hammered Eliza's conversation, flattening the meat that was handed over from one to the next.
After Diego and the others left, a new house was already built by the Dwarves in charge of architecture. The earthen walls were built beforehand, so we only installed the roof, but three houses were created in an instant.
"Neddy's right, I'd be happy if there were more materials available for construction... yeah, it's delicious too."
And this, too, is only possible if we have the materials. Even though it's a dwarf, you can't build a house on earth alone. Dwarves dig holes in mountains and ground to create "houses," but they are not suitable for human habitation.
"Yes, Reurus, the next meat!
"Oh, thank you."
Reurus flattens the yakiniku served from next to next. Sarah watches the real-life food and bakes fresh meat as she gets in a good mood.
Sarah's meat grilling technology has improved very quickly, and it's a pleasure to talk about it as a realuse.
…………
Reurus' hand, which was flattening the bony flesh, stopped unexpectedly. Usually, monsters attack during meals, but rarely stop, and it seems like they move to intercept while eating.
“Even though that's it," Reurus' hands stopped on their own.
(Is that... eh? What...)
The discomfort that occurred in your body. Reurus is confused because he doesn't understand what “it” is.
"What's wrong with Reurus when it suddenly starts to blur? There's still plenty for you.
"Ah, ahh... that's right..."
Nodded Sarah's words, Reurus took away the remaining meat. And when I received the newly offered boned meat, I opened my mouth and bit it.
Seasoned with salt and spices, the meat is a treat for Reurus, and Sarah has baked it to her liking, making it very easy to eat.
Easy to eat...
(It's strange... it's delicious...)
I can't eat anyway. I could eat, but the pace was clearly falling.
"Reurus? What's wrong?
Eliza was the first to notice such a realuse. Reurus, who usually eats with incredible momentum, unnaturally slows the movement.
"... no... what is it? It's delicious... it's strange..."
While saying so, Reurus leans his neck. Even though there was a lot of food to eat, the food did not progress, and Reurus was confused about himself.
"Yes, wait for the next meat! Ah, there's no more bony meat I like Reurus... is that it? What about Reurus?
Sarah presented the next boned meat, but seemed surprised to see a revulsion that she would never receive. Meer and Neddy looked at the Reurus with similar eyes, but couldn't afford to respond to the Reurus.
(What... something... I'm falling asleep...)
It was a perplexed revus, but suddenly a sleeping demon attacked me and my consciousness became bright.
He said he was fine even if he stayed awake for a few days during his journey, but Reurus felt insompably sleepy.
"Been killed, Reurus? What's wrong, what's wrong!?
When she noticed the unusual reaction, Eliza shook the reaction like she was in a hurry. However, Reurus was still sleepy and his eyelids gradually began to fall.
"I'm sorry, nh... I'm kind of strangely... sleepy..."
Reurus, who had reached his limit by just murmuring, left him to Eliza so that he could bear it.
And as you feel your consciousness fall rapidly, I think in the corner of your mind.
(Ah, yes... I remember... this feeling of fullness...)
Even though I remember it countless times in my previous life, I felt full for the first time in this world.
Without any surprise, Reurus fell asleep unconscious.
