00163 The Man, Her Reason

* * *

“Habsburg was a wreck. ”

I stroked Laura's bare flesh and said,

“It's hard to see a future in a country that's almost lost half its land. The princess is not a god. You can't hold your breath for a little while, and then your lifeline will snap. By the Demon Lord or by the Humans.... ”

Eventually, my Moon Blind Force expedition succeeded. You severed the limbs of Queen Elizabeth, the most dangerous of all mankind.

Furthermore, the division between the Demon Kings was finally apparent to the outside. Pymon devised a plot to exterminate the Plains, and the Demon Kings abandoned pursuit, with the exception of Barbatos, before the final battle. This and the betrayal of the Grand Dukes of Hell. It was a nice mess.

“Then there's a second problem, Laura. ”

“Hmm.”

Laura groans. She can see you're nervous. Cute.

“I've bought myself some time. The continent is now quartile. However, there is still one force that remains nominally united. Where is it?"

“Humans.”

Laura replied right away.

“Apart from Habsburg, other countries are still united under one flag. Although the Lord tried to divide the nobles and the commoners in the speech, the division has not yet spread beyond the army and into the entire continent. ”

“Oh.”

“That's why the Humans are waging war on Habsburg. To bring the unity of the soldiers back together, or to reduce the number of soldiers that are pre-insurgents at all. ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

I clapped my hands. The answer was yes, Laura was a PhD in the military.

“Revolution is not that simple. The plague and famine overlapped. Here's where I sprayed the venom in the speech. But we still don't have one last shot. ”

We still need to completely dismantle the unified human nations.

What I want is the fight of all men. A conquest for the Demon, a union against the Demon King, or some such cause deserves to die.

Acting solely for the benefit of the Self Forces…… They should be so selfish.

“So I'm going to do two big strategies in the future. Any idea what it might be? ”

“ ……. ”

Laura hesitates. I wait for a relaxed answer.

She grunts for more than a minute and surrenders.

“I don't know. ”

“Yes, next time." ”

You shove another marble up Laura's ass. Laura screams strangely, "Hiccup!"

“Besides, I couldn't answer both questions, so there's one more. ”

“Now, wait a minute? Lord. That's a strange calculation... Haha! ”

Laura drops her whole body. Well, that was a real pleasure.

It gave me tremendous satisfaction that a seventeen year old girl shook herself naked in my arms. Rather than being sexually aroused, the girl frowned, scared of something, and moaning was as beautiful as a work of art. In short, I was not a pervert. Just an audience watching one artwork…… Yes. It was like a dandy Parisian exhibition.

As it turns out, there was one of the new monsters I could hire. Can't we have a little fun with that? Hmm. Laura, a blonde beauty who is steamed by slime, gets eaten... The gentleman in Paris must have been applauded and applauded. Let's actively consider it later.

“Well, I'll show you that step by step. Laura should never be indifferent to politics. The military is finally a part of politics? Please try."

“Ugh... I see. ”

The first of two big strategies.

Of course, so far it has been the purpose of building the Castle of Marquis, which has been sucking and sucking the hell out of the Mahjong system. Soon, the ducs would read "funding," and they would send lots of taxpayers.

I was confident.

* * *

After a full night.

Laffith brought in an architect with the Dukes' endorsement.

The construction business on the horse is tightly held by Goblins and Dwarves. The construction industry was so closed that the other factions couldn't even step foot in. Generally, the dwarf took up three shares of seven shares and the Goblin took up three, and I deliberately brought in representatives from each industry.

It wasn't always the plan. At first, I just wanted to leave it to the best industries. Ten years is the next big business. Of course, I had to entrust it to a trusted industry.

However, I asked for a huge amount of money in the Red Marble Architecture, which is run by the Dwarves. I spilled my tears reading the quote.

“Hmm. It costs at least 20 million gold. ”

I was in trouble.

The sum of the amount taken from the Grand Duke and the amount to be taken from the future will bring together close to 20 million gold. The amount taken out of fraud anyway. If you think you can build a dungeon for free...

I shrug.

“I can't help it. Quest the Red Marble Building. ”

But Lapis resisted strongly.

“Are you insane, Dantalian? If you put quotations in one place, of course you will cheat. ”

“Huh? Is that it?"

“That's it. ”

Laffith insists. As I answered him bluntly, Laffith was furious as if he had seen something unacceptable.

“You should not just abide by what the merchants call you. Let's start with a budget here. I want you to take this budget back to all the businesses and tell them how to use it as efficiently as they can. ”

“Huh, huh? ”

“That side is for making money anyway. You have to compete with each other and lower the price. It's a basic commercial technique. ”

On second thought, it was.

“Well, I'll leave the architectural budget and business selection to Lapis. ”

“Mockingly. And now Dantalian is a tremendous asset. ”

Laffith's eyes gleam in horror.

At the beginning of the nagging, it was the same eyes that sparkled without fail.

“Fourteen million gold in simple assets. About a million gold in cash arriving soon from Citri. Here, the Grand Duke will fund the next five million. He will ultimately own about 20 million gold. Dantalian has been funding with his fists until now, but such crude methods can no longer be forgiven. ”

“Crude……. ”

Raffith was sometimes afraid to choose a word.

But I had my reasons, too. I've never used a family register before. Commercial and financial, I lived without association.

“Even if all of a sudden you want me to elaborate on how money works. ”

“Plus.”

Lapis severs his waist tightly.

“Dantalian has ruled villages near Castle Marwan since this year. And taxes came in. You need to organize your tax withdrawals first. ”

“Che, systematization? ”

“I order you to submit a tax invoice from the village village villagers. I also oblige the Peasants to take care of the tenants in the town. We also need to take care of the warehouses that are jointly managed by the town. Basics.”

“ ……. ”

Yes, I understand that there were a lot of very complicated problems.

“Well, then, I'll leave the town manager to you, Lapis. ”

“Are you out of your mind?”

─ Kwung!

Wow.

I think I just messed with my horse.

Lapis, Zaggemachi Lapis hitting the table with both hands! Bang, bang, bang. Lapis was once a symbol of calmness and calmness…… even when assassins raided a wagon in hell, she struck her table with her bare hands!

“S-sorry. ”

I was automatically reflexively sluggish. I was cautious when I stood in front of Lapis, but I was so angry that I had to bow my head like when I was scolded by my relatives.

“The Lord of the village is always Dantalian. I've become half Dantalian's heir, but I'm still writing in the Kunkusa Parliament. I can't take responsibility for entrusting the Lord's work to such a person all at once. ”

“Sorry……. ”

“And the work on the territory is not an easy thing for me to do alone. Take care of yourself. Take care of the bridesmaids. In the beginning, it was Miss Laura who was the only deceiver for Dantalian. ”

“Hmm?"

Laura, who was eating rye bread in the corner, looks this way when her name is mentioned. Both cheeks are filled with bread, and the puff blows up. She was cute because she was like a hamster, but no matter how cute she was, she couldn't help me in my current situation.

“Yes, Miss Laura. You too, come here. ”

“The cow, the girl? ”

Laura looks at Laffith and me alternately. Did he realize the atmosphere was unusual? Laura replies with a little mosquito voice.

“As you can see, the girl is enduring.... ”

“Eat and listen. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

Laura rushes in. She and I sat at the table, our heads lowered. It was just like the brother and sister who were scolded by Mother.

Laffith raises his finger.

“Behold, the Demon King, who has made the continent so magnificent, is the Dantalian. There's only one Dantalian to go to. And that's an understatement, and you're actually only in the military. Usually it's like a concubine. The condition is extremely invalid.”

“Sorry……. ”

“I'm sorry.... ”

Laura and I apologized. I felt like I had to apologize for something.

“If the force grows, the Goddess should be followed. It is a good idea to expand the Castle of Magic. But who manages Prince Charming? It is also a good idea to make nearby villages your territory. But who will take care of the villages? Growing the size of the force is not a good thing. It's always the inside that counts. Of course.”

“I'm sorry.... ”

“Sorry……. ”

Laura's tone was changed to a name of respect. He writes half-words to me...

“What Dantalian needs now is a clean and clear system of care. It unifies all tax forms, lord's orders, decrees, visits, notices, diplomatic documents, and forms of these. No. Come to think of it, Dantalian didn't even make the law. ”

Laffith sighs. Before I got angry, I lost my horse. It was a sigh of that feeling.

“What have you done so far, Miss Laura? You are the First Divine Father of Dantalian. This is a prelude. Perhaps it's your job to supplement it by pointing out areas that you haven't thought of yet. ”

“I'm sorry……. ”

Laura's voice is damp. Laura wasn't the only one. I was stabbed, too. Laffith blamed Laura for virtually blaming me right next door.

“We should take what Dantalian thinks is right as a basic structure, and then investigate what the customs are in the villages, how they live the lives of the colonists, and make the laws. ”

“Hey.”

I raised my right hand. It was only after Laura was scolded that she felt sorry for him that she wanted to attract Aggro.

“Yes, Dantalian. Tell me.”

“Why do we have to make a law? Don't you think it's customary to get yourself back on track, and I only have to intervene if something goes wrong? ”

“Dantalian should have exclusive jurisdiction as Lord. ”

It was an immediate answer.

“Convention is literally convention. When something goes wrong, the colonists do what they've always done. In reality, it's like granting jurisdiction to the people of the territory. So there are two judges in one territory. Conventions should be respected enough, but the right to trial should always be the Lord's. That's the first step to power. ”

He was absolutely right.

Laffith sighed again.

“I can't help it. We do it step by step. Dantalian, you should never be indifferent to politics. And after all, it's part of politics. Please try."

“Hmmm... I'll try. ”

“I will work hard to assist the Lord……. ”

Laura and I had no choice but to tighten our heads. What else could I do?

Sadly, it turned out that the correlation between our forces was the monsters < Laura < me < Lapis.

A new kind of management, by the way.

‘Hmm.'

Of course, talented people are present at Dungeon Attack. Among them, I picked up Lauraman and climbed to the top. So far, I thought that was enough. In fact, it was enough.

But, yes. Laffith pointed out correctly. We need to recruit the Garrison. Let's think about who we'll bring in from now on...
