A few days after the lord's arrest.

The arrested lord was handed over to the neighboring lord (apparently named Eilden), who was to be executed. The lord who arrived in the neighboring territory due to an 'accident' during the transport already looked worn out, but he was executed anyway. There will be no particular problem.

As soon as I checked it, I left Dilmia and moved to Soyel.

I don't know what kind of trouble it would be if I stayed in Dilmia forever.

In that regard, Soyelle would be relieved.

Unlike Dilmia, it's too far from Baysis to keep up with my movements.

From the time you contacted me, even if the information about "I asked for Decibatolian reinforcements" had been communicated, it should not have been communicated whether the reinforcements actually came, who the reinforcements were specifically, or the cases in which the reinforcements were involved since they came to Nerell. Information in this world is not so fast.

I'm sure it is.

Using flight magic, as I moved along the map, I saw a town like Soyelle.

It seems like a pretty cold city with lots of snow. I feel like I've never seen it in this world.

I don't feel the cold, thanks to magic and stats.

If I hadn't been magically protected, I might have been frozen in the air.

Thanks to the magic, I lowered my altitude and reached the gates of Soyel.

"Dear Kaede-sama! Welcome to Sawyer!

When I entered the city, the three guards at the gate greeted me with a salute pose.

Such a polite city... is that it?

How do these guards know my name?

I wonder why some people rush into a large building, thinking of it as a lord's residence, listening to the greeting.

Why is there a sign in a luxury inn near the entrance to the city saying, "Caeda-san is scheduled to stay and will be closed until five days later."

... ahh. Now it's really Mr. Kaede with the same name.

Probably got me wrong because I came at the time he was supposed to come.

We must resolve the guards' misunderstanding in a hurry.

"Um, I'm an adventurer from Baysis...."

"You're here about the mass outbreak of monsters, aren't you, Kaede-sama? I have asked the lord to greet you with kindness."

... it's hitting.

To my surprise, a man comes out of the Lords Hall and tells me:

"The Lord is ready. This way, please."

I don't know what's going on, but apparently Soyelle has already been given my name, and for some reason I'm supposed to be treated very well.

I came to save the city, but in short, I'm an adventurer sent by the Alliance. I feel that the treatment of boulders is strange.

Well, if you go, you'll see.

Follow the man's lead and I'll enter the Lords Hall.

I was guided straight to the reception room and decided to speak to the lord.

"Welcome. My name is Sofia, and I rule Soyel."

Surprisingly, Soyelle's lord was a woman. That's quite a beauty too.

I've never heard of a female lord in Baysis. Well, when I was asked if I was familiar with the Lord of Baysis, that wasn't the case at all.

"Thank you very much. My name is Kaede. By the way, I'm just an adventurer, so the entertainment so far..."

In the meantime, I'll return the greeting and explore the reasons for this treatment.

"No, that's not why I'm here because you're saving this Soyelle."

Sophia answered my question with a natural face. [M]

Does this mean that Soyelle is such a culture?

Or is there another reason? I don't even know Soyle's culture. I can't judge.

Mercia may soon know, but unfortunately, she's 700 kilometers away.

All right. Conclusion is on hold. I'll leave it to you.

Now, let's move on to why I invited Kaede.

"Reason...?

I don't think it's a question about how to respond to a major outbreak...

If it is related to a major outbreak, I will not cut it out like this, and will you say so from the beginning?

"It's about Zoemars. I was contacted via the bird."

It seems that my guess, which kept falling off this spot, was unusual.

Since neither the content nor the method of communicating the information is suitable, the accuracy remains as subtle as ever. In terms of the rate of hit, is it about 20%?

[Information manipulation analysis], do your job.

"Maybe you should have knocked him down first?

Thinking about it, Dilmia is like a rival company that grows the same Seoul for Soyelle.

The Dilmia's top leader may have become incompetent like Zoemers, and I may have put an extra spear in where the competition was easier.

That's it? That's no reason to entertain.

"No, not at all. Rather, it is very welcome. Actually, Elden's lord is a relative of mine. Thanks to Zoemars, we're going to get Dilmia."

... that the lord has fallen and taken the entire territory?

I feel like I can't handle the boulder.

"Is that possible? So, tell me about it...."

"No problem. Because Nerell is such a country. It's very different from Baysis, who has a big power in the middle."

It's too different...

Nerell seems like a country beyond my imagination.

Or is it even doubtful that it is established as a country anymore?

There seems to be a law against the lord, so there must be a minimum tie.

"So, I decided to thank you. Here's one thing you like."

With that said, Sophia took out four plates that would contain letters.

I wonder. It's supposed to be a pleasant occasion, but I only have a troublesome feeling.

But I can't refuse.

In the meantime, I'll flip one.

It had a description along with the name "Balumia".

According to the explanation, "Balumia" is....

"Street!?

It was the name of the city.

I mean, territory. I know about weapons and artifacts, but it's impossible to get territory on a boulder. Rejected.

Through that board, I turn over the next board.

It had the name "No Bray" written on it.... a city in southern Neurel.

I ignored the board and rolled the remaining two pieces together.

One, like the other two, is the name of the city in southern Nerel.

The content of the other one is different from the previous three pieces.

It's not southern Nerell, it's a northern city. All four territories appear to belong to Eilden or Sofia, by the way.

"... I appreciate your feelings, but please don't hesitate!

Even though it doesn't seem to be a very big city, I can only feel troubled by getting the territory of other countries. I am confident that this feeling is the only one that comes true.

"Hmm... can't I? So, what territory do you want?

... why am I supposed to receive territory?

No matter how many lords you defeated, I think there are limits.

I wonder if this is a thank you pull-out.

If you think so, this treatment is also troublesome.

Yeah. We should keep a distance here.

"For me, Seoul is better."

"I see. Seoul is being cultivated....."

"I don't need territory."

When I say so, Sophia's face instantly starts to look like "Gunu", but she immediately returns her expression.

"... I see. Now let's send you a good Seoul every year from now on. However, if you carry it on ordinary people's feet, it will definitely drop in freshness, so if possible...."

"I see. Let me come and get it."

All right. Looks like he's managed to get away with it. And every year, they get a good Seoul.

Excellent. The negotiations have been a great success. There's nowhere to beat!

After that, it was a normal story, such as the extent to which monsters appeared, where they should be protected as a matter of priority, where they should not be near, and the schedule until the day.

The visit is over without any particular problems, and I'm heading to the hotel today.

"Dear Kaede-sama! We will guide you to the inn!

... by the way, how long will this treatment last?
