Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Unlike Alexandra and the others, those who were coming to South Fortress in a way they didn't want were given the choice between living in a town or going home. They were kidnapped by the Dragoneworths and rescued by the Waltz to this day, and they had families, jobs, and homes left in their homeland, so it was difficult to force them to remain there.

It's just that a lot of people-- no, there was something I could say in common to almost everyone.

"I don't know where my hometown is...... (like Lucia...)"

Forced to transfer by the "Spirit", they lived in fragmented places around the world and only had geographical knowledge of the towns in which they lived and their surroundings. Besides, there is no such thing as a noble thing as a map in circulation in the period 1300 years ago...... Furthermore, the South Fortress itself did not exist until three days ago, so all of the people, in the continent, were completely lost.

During his departure, Waltz was listening to the braves and stopping his leg as he was about to leave South Fortress. Nevertheless, it's not like she can do anything... The only thing I could say, it seemed like I was going to talk to Alexandra who was coming to drop me off.

"So what do you think? Alexandra."

"... hey, Lord Waltz"

"Yeah?"

"Where did you bring these people from?

"Hmm... The Demon King Castle that was in this neighborhood?

".................. ha"

Alexandra exhales loudly when she hears Waltz's words. Apparently, she noticed something when she heard the word "Demon King's Castle" in Waltz.

"Our village............... is that the village of the Dragon Newts?

"... there's been a twist, and we've been kidnapped, too. I brought him here when I got out."

"... I was prepared for this story to be a case of a date, but I don't think so..."

"... Was it awkward after all?

Before Alexandra, who puts every word in between, Waltz seemed to wonder if Alexandra was furious --

"No, you did well. Um, fucking village chief, strong people live with good treatment, but weak people treat you like food...... I was going to snap your neck one day."

—— Apparently, she's not angry. Perhaps I should describe it as delightful.

"At first I thought you were mistaken... but you, you were from that village?

"Ah. Actually, my mother has also been kidnapped. My mouth is recognized for its strength..."

"You know what?... which means it's the blood muscles that want to defeat the dragon --"

"" Hmm?

"No, it's nothing... anything..."

Before Alexandra and the hunter tilting his neck, Waltz shook his head and when he misled his own words...... Keep talking like this.

"Well, that's why people here aren't real town dwellers. Well, a good number of people have decided to live permanently, so I think they're better off as residents, but for those who want to go home, they need to find their hometown."

"Does that mean it's our job, too?

"That depends on Alexandra and the others. But I don't think this is a bad story, do you? All you have to do is base this town and gather information about your hometown in a variety of places. While you finally let them do business, huh? Look, it's there, isn't it? Famous Products"

So, Waltz turns to the remains of the sandworm that was sitting on the other side of the dark.... In other words, she was wondering if we could use sandworm materials as an immediate specialty of South Fortress. That way, the presence of South Fortress will be passed on to the surrounding towns, and people will come from other towns and become busy.

Because it was a story that Waltz was hearing about the South Fortress that had developed as an important part of the trade route. In other words, it is certain that it will develop as a trading city, so there will be no way not to use it.

"... were you thinking that far?

"No? I just figured it out now"

…………

"Because with land, man and money, you don't have to think of anything beforehand to come up with any way to develop a town. You can hunt demons for real, you can build a workshop to refine iron, you can plow fields, and the ocean isn't that far away, so you can trade with the outer sea..."

"Well, if you say so..."

"But it's not the idea that counts, it's the balance, okay? Balance. If you let the people of town do all the jobs that you can't make a profit for your effort, your tax revenues will drop, and you'll be in a rebellion... So I think what we should do with our heads is think about how we can keep the commercial balance in town, not the starting line. Other than that, it's mostly just a coincidence that comes beyond expectations, so it's no use thinking about it. Well, maybe we need to get ready, huh?

"... somehow, I'm losing confidence in doing the mayor..."

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry, South Fortress will continue into the future properly (well, I don't even know what kind of struggle you're going to have......)"

"Hmm? Something right now..."

"Well... time to go?

Did you even hear something empty ears, try not to care about Alexandra, who had a strange look on her face... The waltzes, turning back their heels, followed the 1300 year old South Fortress.

I'm not sure what the hunter meant by the look on his face at that time... As far as the others could tell, the expression seemed to say:

--Woe to you.
