129. On the grass where the gray ground sprouted

The gray ground was covered with mowing grass and turned green. It shook in the wind and shimmered in white each time it glowed in the sun. The stepped wheat leaves are rising again and growing steadily into the sky. What had been held down by snow during the winter, it grew in the spring and grew vigorously after stepping on its feet. The white dots on the plain are the sheep. They were finally thrown on the plains and filled with lush grass.

Now that the Spring Announcement is ready the next day, the stepping on the wheat is over, the potatoes are planted, and now the festival is ready. Unlike the Autumn Festival, the Spring Festival is an inward festival only for villagers. Still some guests will come. The square is lined with several stalls of such peddlers. Among them, preparation of dishes served at the Spring Festival is being carried out. A large pot is taken out, root vegetables and wild vegetables are collected, and they are prepared for peeling and removing dirt. In homes that are good at cooking, sweet bread dough kneaded with dried fruits is kneaded, and young people and children go out to the riverside for fish. Some old goats and sheep were crushed, and barrels of apple wine were also carried.

Thanks and celebration for successfully overcoming the long winter. Ingredients are not as abundant as in autumn, but there are still feasts. Everyone looks forward to it and grinds to work at the beginning of winter. The youngsters were busy with heavy work, so Bergryf and Satie were peeling root vegetables together with village girls and wolves. Many of the potatoes that were kept in the middle of the soil during the winter are often damaged, and while they are being removed, the edible parts are collected.

Angelin and his friends go to the mountains to pick wild plants. Percival and Kasim are doing something else else. Yakumo went fishing. Lucille plays with the musicians of the village in tune. The children seem to be watching Graham together. Satie said, peeling the potato skin.

"It's stew and barley porridge." "Yeah. The rest is roasted fish and meat and sweet bread." "No, for a treat ... a peddler brought me a lot."

I am glad that there are some things that I cannot usually eat, such as distilled spirits, pork from the neighboring village of Rodina, and salted sea fish. However, it is difficult for a Bergliff who has experienced salting an ankle to cook fermented salted rice well. Nevertheless, it was somewhat interesting to prepare that dishoner Saty in a familiar manner, and Bergglyph looked at it. Sati, who peeled the potatoes while humming, turned his eyes up as he noticed and tilted his head.

"... what?" "No, I'm really able to cook now." "I'm still saying that. I've already eaten my rice many times, you." I'm sorry, I have a strong impression of the old days. "" Yes, let's do it quickly.

Satie said so, and the village girls and wolves grinned around.

"That's right. I need to release them early." "I'm happy to see that Bell is in love." "She really doesn't know that bell. I still can't believe it." "Hey you shot a good man." "Huh, yeah, you're a proud husband."

Sati smiles and winks at Bergliff. Bergryf blushed a little and scratched his head. I ca n’t beat her for a long time. When the preparation of the potatoes was almost over, Angelin returned with a heap of wild plants in a basket. There are many things that can be eaten, such as sprout of trees and grass, buds and mushrooms of rhizomes and flowers.

"I'm here!" "Welcome home. It's amazing, I'm really nervous." "Hmmm, for a feast ..." "What happened to Marie?" "Hmm ... Well, Marie, don't you worry?"

The elves can't get lost in the forest, and Marguerite's arms will be able to repel any monsters that appear. I just hope he finds the best mushrooms at best.

"What should I do? It's better to wash it, right?"

Anessa with a basket said. Bergliff nodded.

"Yes. Have me wash it. Will I use some for today's lunch?" "I'll wash it all, and then divide it. I'm gonna go. Arne, let's go." "Yeah.

Anessa and Miriam walked towards the well with their baskets. Angelin was in the wheel to help me. Then move your hands while enjoying a lively chat with only women. It is a strangely funny sight that only one bearded man mixes there.

The work is fast because the villagers and the girls in the village are gathering, but the amount is still large, so even if you start in the morning, it will take until noon. Then boil the vegetables and meat slowly, leave them overnight, and eat them the next day. When the ingredients were thrown into the pot and the fire began to burn underneath, there were a lot of footsteps and rolling horses. When I looked down, I saw a carriage coming with the Bordeaux family crest. It is making noise that the villagers are lords.

"Bergryf!"

Helvetica jumped out, seemingly unable to wait for the carriage to stop.

"Sister! A little!"

From behind, Selenium embarks in a hurry. An unexpected movement of the sisters caused the carriage to stop suddenly in a panic. However, Helvetica was reluctant to do so and ran to Bergliff and seized his hand.

"I didn't think you were here! You were on a journey?" "I was able to reach my goal faster than I had imagined. Ah, Angelin-san, everyone looks fine. "Helvetica, it's been a while ...

Angelin smiled and shook hands with Helvetica.

"Sister, don't be mad."

Selenium came with a stunned expression. But Helvetica looked back with a smile without flinching.

"Because I didn't expect to see you. Selenium isn't happy?" "I'm not happy. But jumping from a moving carriage." "Oh, how about you jumping from a running horse?" …… ”

Selenium dyed his cheeks in red, regretfully. Belgriff smiled and bowed to Selenium, wondering if she was the one who sneaked out of Bordeaux's blood.

"Selenium looks fine, too." "Uh ... yes, I'm still swung."

Selenium matched her fingertips with herself. Angelin giggled and held Selenium's shoulders.

"Are you good friends ... Sasha?" "Small sister is going on a patrol in another place. In the early spring, it tends to be fluttering, so I will share it around." "Still all villages and towns It's difficult to go around. I couldn't come here last year, so I'm gonna do anything this year!

Helvetica said and took Bergriff's arm. There are severe winters in the north. In some places, the stockpile runs out before winter is over, and some villages are starving. Spring seems to stretch here and there to avoid such places. Then, check the situation in the villages and take appropriate measures. It is unusual to go to the lord directly, but it seems that the appearance of the lord in such a way has led to Helvetica's phenomenal ambition in Bordeaux. Helvetica glanced happily, but looked around and sat down on Sati.

"Is your elf related to" Paladin "?" "No, she's called Satie." "My mother ..."

Angelin interrupted. Helvetica tilts her head and neck.

"Eh ... that means ..." "... Shy and wives"

Berglyph said shyly. Helvetica spotted his eyes. Selenium leaned forward astonished.

"Berglyph, have you been married? Congratulations!" "Thank you. I haven't really felt like that yet ..."

Belgriff looked away, suddenly feeling weight in his arms. Helvetica was angry and inflated his cheeks, painted in vermilion, staring at her face with tears.

"It's sly! I'm busy and I'll find another partner!" "No, no, Helvetica" "Hell, Mr. Bell. You're a very young child. "

Satie grinned and leaned on her back. It's rather weird that we can afford it, and Bergglyph looks back at it.

"No, I never thought that way." "Such! Even though I kissed! Did that play?" "Che, a little Helvetica! That was just cheek. No play, nothing "

Bergliff is in a hurry. Helvetica is angry. Angeline and Satie are grinning. The women watching are laughing. Selenium grabbed Helvetica's neck when it was out of control.

"Sister, please do it!" "But ..."

Helvetica sharpened his mouth to whine. Sighs as if she was stunned.

"It's no use even if you look like that. It wasn't your opponent in the first place." "Uh ... it was a failure to think that there was no competitor and have too much room ..." Wow "

Helvetica covered his face with both hands. Angelin hugged his shoulder.

"Mom is an old friend of Dad who talked to her before ... The seasons are different, fufu." "... I see. It's pretty much each other." "Okay ..." "I can find you." "Why are you so happy, Angelin ... Oh, already."

Helvetica gave a big breath, giving up, and shook his head.

"Certainly, there's no specification if you mess around here ... Congratulations to Bergliff and Sati. Congratulations!"

Bergliff bowed down relievedly. Satie gigs.

"Thank you very much, but looking at Belle-kun is so high, Lord." "Yes, I'm proud that I only have eyes to see people." "Yes, I don't mind. You don't even have to hand it over." "Hey, it's bullish." "Huh, even if you look like this, it's bad to give up."

Helvetica, who seems to have regained his tone, and Sati, who is still young and young, are having somehow terrible conversations. As the Bergryph turned blue, Percival and Kasim came.

"What is it?

Berglyph replied, relieved, relieved.

"I'm making it now. What were you guys doing?" "It's a secret." "Fun later, hehe ..." "I'm sorry." "What, you're a lord?

He introduced the Helveticas to Persival with a suspicious face, and said that he was thinking of consulting about a dungeon anyway, and Persival nodded as convinced.

"I heard about it, but it's really young."

Helvetica smiled and gracefully bowed.

"Please, know me." "Oh, good. I hate nobles, but as far as I can tell you, it looks like you're not a bad guy."

Sati looked at Percival with a glance.

"Percy-kun, I'm sorry. It's not worth the year."

Helvetica and Selenium laugh.

"I don't mind. I like honest people." "Hey, younger children than Percy are more adults." "You don't say. You can get a consultation. "Of course. But what is a dungeon? What's new in this area?" "I'd like to consult with you around that area, but it's better to include the village chief ... … Anger, wouldn't Suma call for Graham? ”Dads go to the village mayor ’s house.” “Hello.” “Sati, you are.” “Okay, I ’m not really interested. , Come back early and come back.

Either way, I can't say I'm using flights in the open space. The luggage was left to the guards and guards, and the Belgriffs took Helvetica and Selenium to the village mayor's Hoffman home.

Hoffman was washing the horse's body in the yard and looked down at the Helvetica and dropped his head in a hurry, wiping his hands.

"This is the Lord ..." "Maybe, the mayor"

Hoffman bowed down many times as if he was afraid. Although she was told by a blue-haired female peddler, she was still nervous in front of her. As usual, I pulled out chairs and tables in the garden and surrounded them. Beautiful flowers are blooming on the surrounding hedges, and the wind is gentle and swaying.

While preparing, Angelin brought Graham. Mito is the same. Even if you are not an adventurer, the adventure story of "Paladin", which is spread as a fairy tale, is often heard as a child. Helvetica also showed a sloppy appearance for a moment, but glanced out at Graham, who was dressed like a wolf and clung to his child. Graham has the same look as ever. I lowered my head slightly while holding the baby.

"... I see you at the beginning. It's Graham." "Fufu, this is my name. I'm Helvetica Bordeaux." "It's been a long time, Graham-sama.

Selenium laughs and bows.

"I'm sorry for this ... I hope the kids don't leave me." "No, it's okay."

The tea was served with the atmosphere softened, and after a little chat, we started talking about dungeons. In this case, Mito cannot be hidden. He trusted the Helveticas and confessed that too. Naturally, they were surprised faces, but they also trust Belgriff and Angelin, and there are also talented people such as Graham, so especially about Mito He did not seem to pursue.

From there, I got a magic stone on my previous journey. He explained that Graham made special tools by processing it. Helvetica put his hand on his mouth and looked at Mito with a thoughtful face. Mito looks back at Helvetica with a grim face.

"... then, dungeons using the power of Mito-kun." "That's what it is. We have no precedent, so we can't talk too much." "Yes. "How about, actually, I don't think dungeons are bad for Bordeaux."

Kasim said. Helvetica smiled.

"In short, it's difficult."

In unexpected words, they all rounded their eyes. Angelin leans forward.

"Helvetica ... Is it so frustrating to be shaken by your dad?" "Hey, just a little! Don't say that people are doing mean in return!" "No different ...?" Because ...

Helvetica looked around with a single cough.

"First of all, I'd like to be honest near Bordeaux if it's such a convenient thing. It seems that you can think that the difficulty can be adjusted depending on Mito's magical power. It's easier to deal with a bigger guild. "" Yes. I was thinking about it at first. "

Berggriff said that Graham was preparing and preparing to travel, initially considering building near Bordeaux.

"But the young people said they wanted a dungeon in Tornella, partly because it's an economic base ... if they had something to stop here rather than leave the village It was a fact that I thought it was good. "" I see ... more, more people have longed for Bergliff and Angelin, right? "

Bergliff smiled bitterly.

"When you say that, there's no standing ... but that's almost the case. Of course, there are some people in the village who don't look good in dungeons, but there's no one who stands out and opposes." I'm scared, Berglyph. "

Helvetica looked at Bergliff with a serious face.

"Dissatisfaction is something that accumulates. Even if you don't see it, the heart of a person suddenly explodes. Sometimes it's just quiet because there's no problem yet. If you want to build an economic base, it's practically unavoidable that not only Tornella's youth but also adventurers come in from outside. '"That's right. Is it a problem? "Percival said. "For example, it would be fine if it was a place where people would enter and exit as a key point of trade. However, Tornella is a rural village. Until I hear the rumors of Berggriff, it is small enough to overlook me." And that means? "

Angelin bowed. Helvetica smiles.

"Less human traffic tends to reject people from the outside. There is a difference between a rural culture that seeks stability and peace and an adventurer culture that seeks change and stimulation. There's no question that causes problems. "" Wait a minute. Tornella isn't that exclusive? Even the oilers are accepting them, but they're accepting them. " Is also an old friend of Bergglyph. To my guess, isn't anyone outside of Tornella accepted through Bergglyph? "

Helvetica said and looked at Hoffman. Hoffman looked down and scratched his cheek.

"That's true ... Kashm, Percy, Sati, as well as Graham and Duncan had bell interceptions ... No, but because they were good guys." But if you are going to build a dungeon and run a guild, it's possible that an adventurer like a rogue with no connection is coming, but it's definitely a decision. Will accumulate dissatisfaction even if it's not a problem, but it's also unpleasant to change the atmosphere of the village itself. The village may be eventually divided if we call on the elderly. "" Isn't it enough for me or Grandpa to control? "

Percival said somewhat grumpy. But Helvetica is resolute.

"It's very dependable. But it's not a matter of breaking down something and solving it. Can you stay up all day, all year?"

Percival silently looked down. He is also a skilled adventurer. There is no gunlessness that can be said to be strong.

"Cho, wait a minute, Helvetica ..."

Angelin pinched his mouth as if he was impatient.

"I know everything I'm saying. I think it's important ... but it's not just guessing ... if you think about it that way, you can't do anything new ... and so bad people come No, there's a father and grandfather ... "" ... I was so careless that I invited the rebels of Count Malta. "

Both Angelin and Bergliff hummed without dying. Certainly, Helvetica is not saying meanness. He is thinking about Tornella based on his bitter experience. So I couldn't seem to argue hard.

Helvetica grinned as he saw each other in trouble. Then clapping hands.

"Now, once we understand the problem, let's get to the constructive story."

All this, and in another sense, rounded my eyes. Angeline quietly opened her mouth.

"... Helvetica-san, isn't it the opposite?" "You said it's difficult? Who said it?"

Helvetica laughed at the mischief. Raised his hands as if Casim had surrendered.

"I'm sorry, I'm a lord, I'm the enemy, I can't beat the oilers." "... Dungeon management means more political wisdom than sword skills.

Percival also laughed with that. Angelin sharpened his mouth and looked at Helvetica, and then Selenium.

"... did you notice?"

Selenium nodded with a laugh.

"Because my sister's eyes were shining.

So Berglyph scratched his head, saying he was silent without closing his mouth. This time, it seems that this sister has completely taken one. Just like Selenium, Graham opened his mouth, apparently seemingly silenced.

"... are you worried that the dissatisfaction of the villagers will go to Bell and its surroundings?" "Huh, that's right. Even though the village chiefs and young people are involved, how to say Is bad, but the story of the dungeon is mostly hard-wired from outside, and it's not hard to imagine that if something goes wrong, you'll be dissatisfied with the easy-to-understand symbol of strangers. " I can't say that ... "

Hoffman said something, but shut his mouth as if he had given up. In the past, he once made Bergglyph evil, and he seems hesitant to say that he never did. Bergliff hits Hoffman's shoulder.

"I don't mind you, mayor" "... I said a lot, but I think Tornella is different from other villages, so maybe half of my concern Maybe not, but things are absolutely not. "

Helvetica said. Berggriff nods.

"That's the duty of the lord. It's natural." "Yes. Even during the riot of Mito, he always told me to help.

He laughed after saying that. Percival leans forward.

"So, Lord, what do you really want to do?" "What is the current situation where the dungeon is decided by a discussion in the village? That is, the outspoken is responsible. I'm worried that it's Belgriff-sama. "" I'm Percy, but ... "

According to Angelin, Percival looked away. Helvetica laughs at you.

"Anyway, is the responsibility responsible for Bergryf? If anyone is on top ... yes, for example, directly from the Bordeaux family."

Berggriff nodded as though he had scored.

"I see ... Isn't it a form of direct management of the Bordeaux family, rather than a village-led form?" "Yes. Even so, it would be difficult to completely eliminate complaints ..."

Helvetica says so and teas. Selenium told him to take over.

"Whatever we say, we can't be ridiculous about the Bordeaux's dignity. We hope this will reduce the possibility that dissatisfaction will explode and turn into a major problem."

Tornella has an old temperament, both good and bad. He has pride as a descendant of the pioneer, but he is self-identified as a countryman and obedient to the lords and other aristocracy. It would be easier to convince yourself if the Bordeaux family is in direct contact. Bordeaux is already working with lords and adventurer guilds. That's hard to do in Tornella.

"But then ... must someone come from Bordeaux?"

Bergriff said, Helvetica put his hand on his chest as if to wait.

"Of course, that's right. So I moved to Tornella immediately." "Sister! What are you talking about?" "Oh, no good? "It's no use. The lord is determined to be troublesome when he leaves his territory. Unless someone else has been appointed," "Yes, then Selenium, you do." "... Eh !?" "I thought it was time for you to reign in one of the villages or towns and gain experience. In the case of Tornella, there is a Belgryph, and it is safe to leave." Well, urgently ... "" Selenium is very welcome ... "

Angelin happily held Selenium's shoulders. Selenium is struggling.

"That was ... of course I was thinking that such a time would come ... but there is a current village chief, Hoffman, and a young man like me ..." "No, no, he came to Selenium If you can, I'm already ... "" But ... "

Berggriff, who had been thinking for a while, opened his mouth.

"Then, why don't you leave Hoffman as the village chief and enter Selenium in the form of assistant village chief?" "Well, it doesn't seem to be like the waves. Selenium, do you dislike it?" "Well, no, that's not the case ..." "It's not good. It's not like I'm always in Tornera. You're helping because I'm looking for a new shape. Give it to me, and it will be a good experience for you. "

Selenium looked down and sighed.

"... I see. But I can't do it right now. There are lots of preparations." "That's, of course. And dungeons won't be able to move right away.

Berggriff nodded with a bitter smile.

"We're too amateurs about that ... I wonder if it's still difficult to operate without a system in place." Isn't that the purpose? "

Helvetica shouted her tongue at Angelin's alarming words. Percival laughs aloud.

"This guy is good. It's much more encouraging than just climbing the adventurers." "Well, this means you don't have to rush. Selenium, I'll be grateful."

Kassim grinned and swung the bowler hat at his fingertips. Hoffman looks relieved.

"Then, this story is all right. Helvetica, tomorrow is the village spring festival. Please come and join us."

Belgriff thought that something was going to come again, and brought a little cold tea to his mouth. Graham is smiling satisfactorily, and Mito looks at each other's faces in turn, obscure. Angelin embraced himself in Bergriff's arm.

"Selenium is the village chief! That's amazing ..."

Originally, it was the edge that led to Angelin's help with Selenium. Belgriff laughed, saying that this was going to happen, and then returned to the square with everyone to have lunch. The sun is high and the weather is good.
