Bandit, Be Ambitious! To Accomplish Kingdom Revival!

Spring of the following year. Everyone opened their eyes when they saw the silk Toresti's ambassador spread in front of us.

Soft, twisted fabric shows subtle gradients in the hall lights. Transparent, but not transparent.

"Correct, it's silk. There are two things that merchants from the East bring."

"My kingdom has to work hard, too. You must also think about sending artisans to Torresti."

Mr. Tenor of Torresti is good at snorting and listening.

Mr. Hardelia and Mr. Caliban have opened their eyes and sighed, asking Mr. Caliban a question.

"King Torresti must not forget you who contributed to the battle a few years ago. If you're interested, send artisans."

"The cooperative relationship between kingdoms helps a lot. We should think about how we can get along without a fight."

Hearing Sadie's words, the ambassadors are nodding.

The ambassadors have been sent to revitalize cooperation between the kingdoms, but have they been exploring the kingdoms they have been sent to?

Extend the silk antimatter that came around in front of me to confirm the finish.

I don't think I have aesthetic eyes, but I intend to have eyes that look at the product.

My father taught me to look at the whole thing first. The next thing I know, I looked at the edge, and the last time I said to look diagonally, I wonder if that was when I went to see the bike.

The motorcycle and silk textiles must be products, and I was looking at the antimatter in the same way…

There's some unevenness in the weave. How much work do you do in a day? When the drawer is checked, there is unevenness at every certain length. I guess this is due to the immaturity of the alternating weavers.

Looking at the left and right edges, the yarn tension also appears to be slightly tight on the left.

I can see subtle irregularities when looking diagonally, but what is this because the thickness of the transverse thread is not uniform......

"What do you say? Is it what the banter wants?"

"It's going to take a few years. You have to think about spinning horizontal yarn. Weavers' immaturity is inexperience, so they will have to weave numbers. You also have to think of a way to constantly strain the loom meridian."

"Not yet...... So you're saying?

Mr. Tenor's voice is a little faded, unlike earlier.

Other ambassadors seem to be worried about where there is a fault in this cloth.

"I think your eyes are probably dull by saying silk. Because I can't get this gloss out unless it's definitely silk. But if you look at it in one point: cloth, you can see that there is unevenness in the weave. There are a few other challenges, but if you're a trader in cotton textiles, they're going to tell you what the challenges are."

"Nevertheless, I'm not sure there's any real silk textiles here. If you find a challenge, it won't be that hard to overcome it."

"If you ask me, there's a subtle difference in the way you weave..."

"I think this is enough for me, but do you mean to tell the banter that the nonsense is clear? He was just trying to make silk."

Like Sadie said, you should think about finding a challenge first. Grow silkworms, spin yarn from cocoons, and weave cloth with that yarn. There must be various challenges lurking in the process. If we find it and remove it, we can do better silk next time.

Silk woven in torresti was divided into three parts and distributed to each kingdom.

I would ask you to look at it and refer to it. The subtle change in thickness about yarn making is likely to be problematic.

The person responsible for the spinning is Mr. Mayville's eldest son, Mr. Powell. You're older than me, but you always use respect for me. Looks like he was a good young man liked by the villagers, and I heard he married your daughter from the village last year.

If it gets to him, he'll think of countermeasures for the glitches that could happen in the spinning course.

◇

In the spring of the following year, the ambassadors of each of the three kingdoms appeared with silk antimatter.

We all criticize each other for our success by spreading it to the table in the hall.

I decided to watch Sadie and even Mr. Marian mix up and fight their opinions over coffee by the fireplace.

"Compared to last year, you did an extraordinary job. Wouldn't this work as a trade item?

"It must be because of the artisans of each kingdom competing for arms, according to Lord Banter's words. The king is brilliant too! And he was giving me compliments."

Apparently, you're going to say it's done? When it does, it seems like we're going to move on to the next step.

"It's still fast to commercialize. You have to see if you can make a dress or shirt out of that antimatter. The buyer doesn't stay antimatter and watch."

"Try practicality, you mean? Surely, there is no such thing as this. Let me make it quick."

Ambassadors from all over the country are also nodding.

I'm starting to look forward to seeing what kind of dress I can wear in the early summer.

The canal drilling is well under way, and now we can live the fullest.

The distillery is making good brandy using the wine it has put to sleep for a year, and it seems to be using empty barrels to make mulberry fruit wines.

They're both pullers. That's why cats don't live well.

State revenues for silk yarn seem comparable to more than ten pieces of silver. For that matter, I can lower my taxes.

Behind Mr. Emilda's sacrament of autumn prayers after the summer had passed, Lady Ambassadors and Sadie from all over the country were attending in silk dresses.

There seems to be no problem with practicality. Silk dresses and antimatter must be loaded on board next spring's trading ship.

"It's been over a decade since I started bandits. I think our kingdom of Sylvania is more prosperous than its predecessors."

"That, too, begins a word of Lord Banter. At that time, without the words' Let the bandits begin ', by now………………"

After finishing confirming next year's event in the hall, the four of us tilt the leftover mulberry fruit wine in the hall.

Now we're on the other side of the memories, but we've all worked hard for sure.

The families and soldiers of the Saddis who died as a result of the invasion of the Madenian kingdom, the people who experienced the hardships...... What do you think of our lives now?

"Everyone should be happy to twilight. My father always said the elders were certified as the people of the kingdom of Sylvania."

"It's not just flourishing in the silver mountains. I have no doubt that the kingdom is functional enough to cooperate with the surrounding kingdoms even if silver is no longer available."

The vineyards that Mr. Zaylus and the others worked so hard on will supply us with plenty of wine.

I can drink it as it is, but it is aged for a year and processed for brandy.

Because it does not compete with wines from other countries, it does not produce weird flavors, and brandy is highly popular as a fine wine. Some of it is enough to be used for trading.

Silk had a proper division of labour through cooperation between kingdoms. Silk textiles spinning and woven by Cat people using defective cocoons played in the yarn spinning course are degraded versions but have considerable beauty. Though the pedestrians seem to be picking up the antimatter for 10% of the usual price, it also seems to be popular as a dress fabric that your daughter in the village can handle.

Three kingdoms don't complain about such antimatter. I guess it's because the distinction between luxury and degraded products is historical.

"So, we're done for next spring, right?

"Yeah, everything is ready. The crew seems to have been screwed, but Mr. and Mrs. Zaylus will be in command."

"We're in this together. Iris will take care of her mother."

Sadie's with us, so Mr. Marian will come with us. When some of the ex-sisters of the Enchantress are going to accompany them..., aren't they with the bandits?

"I never thought Torrell would get seasick"

"First place for any person is like that. We're not gods."

"Right. If there are any shortcomings, you should find someone to make up for them. It's not enough as a shield for Chris and the others. Three months without us will be enough for Torrell."

Don't you think about not going out before then?

Well, it's an unbelievable personality once you mention it, and seeing a new world will be able to be used for future governance......

"Aren't you ready?

"It's already done. Tomorrow, if you leave the fort and pick up Mr. Zairas in the Old King's Capital, you'll go straight through the streets and crabble."

Nodding to my words, yeah.

That's a goodbye to this fort for a while. When I come back, I don't think there's anything like another flag flying.

The next day, after Chris dropped us off, we left the fort.

The building of a long kingdom has come to a halt.

I guess from now on we will be joining the peripheral kingdoms in an attempt to unionize.

But before that......

"Again, are we heading east?

"I have another big goal. Example ceramics. Let's target that next one."

To my story, people in canatolls and wagons are smiling and nodding.

It looks like we can still make the kingdom flourish.

Besides, in case something happens...

"The banter has set his next goal! Not until we push on. If you're going to run out of luck, you don't have any bandits or things to lose!

"" Ooh wow!!

Everyone speaks up for Sadie's words from time to time, but I can't leave my family behind.

If I could join my family, I'd be able to start with the bandits again.

Mr. Zairas and his men led the soldiers to wait for us on the Triple Difference road to the town of Clerum.

The Ardenne Cathedral Knights flag, which is huge behind you, is going to be a pirate flag when it's on the ship as it is.

"The time has finally come. When I first heard it, I thought it was about inspiring us..."

"Well, I'm not sure I thought so either. But everything is ready. Do I have to go?

When Mr. Zairas snorts with a bitter smile at Sadie, he forcefully announces his departure.

You didn't trust me very much?

Still, when you can go, everyone rushes ahead of us, so it doesn't seem to be any different than it was back then. Only morale would be high if I did it.

"You must have loaded the brandy properly, huh?

"Yeah, it's loaded with more than twenty bottles. Besides, there's booze across the ocean, right?

"Absolutely. I'm looking forward to going, too."

Mr. Riedel answered us aloud from the carriage.

People, that's why it's good.

Whatever it is, it's our first deal. Let's move on to the far east, where no trading ship has gone before.

-END-

< Epilogue >

Three trading vessels are sickening the Great Sea Plains.

I never thought I'd be this fast.

Our rides Christina, O'Brie and Hardelia are well on their way east. Twenty days have already passed since I left the port of Crabble, but I couldn't even see the island shadow around me.

"Around tomorrow, you might see the island. It's time to stay close to where the continent stretches south."

Mr. Mintos, who holds the rudder, is the captain of a trading ship, but he listened to us and joined the sailors.

There are only rudder wheels and azimuthal magnets on the open-air bridge of the manoeuvre. Get down on the bench behind you. I relax and enjoy the pipes every day.

Mr. Zairas and his men have no trouble arching the long sword on deck, and Mu and Sadie are going up to the watchtower on the sail column and looking at the vicinity with a telescope.

I admire how tiresome it is, but I say we can see whales and dolphins.

"It was like a big island. I was throwing up water in the sky."

He opened his eyes and spoke seriously to me, but I guess that's what it would be like to see it for the first time.

The guys on the deck are pointing up. I don't know, I look up, too, and Sadie seems to be telling me something by stretching her arm forward.

"I see Your Majesty found it. Probably an island.... Bastards, get ready!

"" Ooh wow!!

Occasionally, the men assemble the catapult and begin to prepare the bow and arrow.

Looks like the watchtower will be turned into Sadie and the soldiers will be replaced. Mr. Zairas raised the flag of the Cathedral Knights high on the sail column.

This is like a pirate ship!

I authorized the arming to prepare for the pirates... No way, you're not thinking about plundering it.

"Banter, can't you get ready soon? We must protect ourselves under all circumstances. No worries if you're ready, it's not Banter's word!

And I think this is a different matter, but now you won't understand.

Returning to the cabin to be flushed and dressed in black, he stood on an open-air bridge with Sadie and the others.

Now, are we to be welcomed or attacked...?

"Sylvania is a good kingdom. There was no mistake in your words."

Mr. Jill comes to the bridge with such a grunt.

"Lord Banter. All set. You can go anytime!

There are two detachment soldiers on deck in front of Mr. Zairas.

We're trading ships...... I'm losing confidence in something.

Still, when you stare at the island shadow that gets bigger gradually, you get a laugh.
