"That was close."

"Right. Is there a lot of people's streets there, because there was a good path?"

I mean, it was like after I stepped on people's feet. Well, I wasn't lost at all because of that.

But, well, it wasn't farther than I thought because of that. If you go up the road without a path, it'll take time.

Approaching the side of the village chief's house-like building, the perimeter of the house was maintained for the price. If you look to the side, there's a house without people, so maybe that's what my uncle said.

I feel it from the outside, it's a building that I quite like, but it doesn't feel like an abandoned house.

People seem to be in the house right, so when I knocked lightly on the front door, I heard a voice saying yes, and my grandmother came.

"Oh, who is it? It's rare for a stranger to come here."

"Excuse me, I'm a traveler, but I came to ask you to let me use the empty house there if you want to stay"

"You love traveling here. It would be so much more fun to go to Uml."

"Uh, well, I'm from Uml."

"Hmm, really?

My grandmother turns a blind eye to a mentor other than me there.

"That's quite a number of people. Well, use it as you like. Can I just take care of the cleaning while you're staying?

"Ah, yes. Uh, rent or something."

"You just asked me, didn't you?

"Uh, can I just clean it?

"Yeah. Yeah. Originally, it's a house that allows guests to stay. I don't plan to have guests here at the moment, and you can use them if you like."

"Thank you!

Is it a house for customers? Looks like you've been cleaning from time to time. Clean it properly while you're there and return it beautifully.

"You're a nice girl. What do you say we live here and do the fields?

"Oh, no, I'm sorry, I have something to do."

"Let's see. Come whenever you change your mind."

Grandma smiles and says things she doesn't know if she's serious or joking. I wonder if there are few young people. I can tell from the top that there are many huge fields.

If you're doing this just for the old man, it looks tough.

"Well, I'll borrow it. Uh, keys and stuff..."

"The key... oh, yeah. Uh, I'm sorry, I don't have the keys."

"Well, then how do I open it?"

"No, no, I don't have the keys themselves. All I have is about the amount of warehouse I keep my crops in. All the houses around here are unlocked. Maybe I'm a little nervous for the city."

He said he didn't have a key. I feel so nostalgic. Grandpa, how are you...

You don't remember me, but I still wonder how you are. Well, it's not that I don't have a key over there, I don't call you.

"Really, thank you"

"Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm used to it.

"Right."

Grandma laughs at my answer. That's a sweet face with a nice laugh wrinkle engraved around it.

As I thanked my grandmother and tried to make my way to the empty house, I heard someone screaming.

"Mayor! Oh, my God!

A woman who must be from the village rushed to the village chief's house. We're already looking at it a little further away.

Was there any incident?

"What's the matter, in such a hurry"

"Ugh, my stupid husband didn't know what it was and I'm late, but it's tough!

"Yes, yes, I know it's hard, but calm down a little bit"

In an effort to calm the panicking woman, my grandmother feels she is trying to speak calmly. I wonder if it feels like Mr. Ishimura.

Oh, speaking of which, I didn't confirm at all, but that guy was the village chief.

The woman speaks out after calming down a little in the voice of her grandmother.

"People came to the village today."

"Yeah? It's rare, but it's not that much, is it?

"Well, yes, but someone who came is a hell of a person!

"A hell of a person?

"He's a great nobleman of Umr!

... We all see the great nobles of Umr together.

"What the hell. I don't know why I'm in such a hurry."

Apparently Inai doesn't know what she's panicking about either.

What do you mean, that uncle is simply loose, and this country also has attitudes towards nobility and all that?

"The nobleman of Umr. Aren't you the usual?

Hmm? Is there a nobleman coming from Umr? When I saw Dr. Inai, he shook his head.

"Predictable, but out of jurisdiction"

For once, if you have predictions, I want you to tell me there and stare at Inai.

In response to that gaze, Inai begins to explain.

"Maybe someone in our country is importing crops from this village. I think it's about the guy who's coming to that order."

"Are the nobles coming directly?

"Hmm, I don't know about that area. I think you can tell by asking Mr. Caragra."

"Mr. Caragra?

"Oh, well, you never met him. I'll introduce you next time."

Something seems to be happening. I'd like to get to know you because you seem to be able to tell me a lot about it.

Mostly with the big fishing grounds? Fishing moat? Speaking of which, the ocean has to go further south, right? Because Uml is inland.

... Speaking of which, when I was in the Tree Sea, I also felt that there were quite a few fresh fish, was that from the sea, or from the river?

"I wouldn't be so hasty if I were that guy!

"Yes, yes, okay, calm down"

"Ugh, sorry. But there's someone amazing here."

"Yeah, so who?

"It's one of those eight heroes. Technician. Maybe he's here for our crop inspection. If you can't ship, it's gonna be tough."

"... what?

To the woman's words, her grandmother cannot reply for a moment and listens back again.

"So even eight heroes! My stupid husband seems to have made a rough mistake. He said he was headed to the village chief, and he came in a hurry."

Listen to the woman and slowly turn your eyes to us, Grandma. Yes, this one will be the nobleman of the engineer.

Grandma slowly looks at this one before putting her face back on the lady.

"Mayor, what are you looking at?"

"Hey, come here."

"Oh, so, village chief?

"Yes, yes, come inside for a moment because it's good"

The woman was bewildered by the village chief and walked into the house feeling semi-enforced.

"Um, is it going to be a bit of a hassle?

"... well, you're gonna be okay. I'm not interested in importing that I'm not involved in, that I'm following proper procedures."

"Oh, I'm not involved."

"Once upon a time, hardly ever."

I mean, you used to do that hand job, too. Somehow, I'd do anything.

I guess there are places where I just had to do it. It'll be tough after the war.

"Anyway, I borrowed the corner, and let me use it"

"Right. We need to clean up."

"What shall we do with Gret, sister"

"Don't let me in. It's not an inn, don't clean it."

I thought a little bit that if I left it to Inai, instead of cleaning, the house was going to start renovating.

Let's make it a little usable for now, then let's take a break. Though I was quick to get there, the mountain path was a little tiring.
