Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki

"I'm back, lady."

One woman bows her head in its luxurious room, a large mansion in the commercial city of Erin. In his late twenties, he dresses in a man's courtesy.

I bowed my head, and there was a girl in a dress.

"Welcome back, dude. So, what did he say while he was releasing it to the Empire?

She was a cheerful girl with long blue hair. Age looks like a late teenager. It was also characterised by long, pointed ears, although not as good as elves.

She is an expert in hydromagic classified as a species called the Hydrogenic Clan.

"This is an expedition, but the Empire's Expeditionary Army has been destroyed. Less than 300 of the 4,500 soldiers who left the empire returned. Besides, we received reports that the village of Elves did not just win, but took the fort, which served as a supply base for the Empire, gathered about 300 refugees to emigrate, and even consolidated its defense against the Empire."

The eyes of the blue-haired girl who heard that shine with curiosity.

"Only two hundred village rebellions, right?

"Yes, it is."

"Four thousand and five hundred expeditionary troops, right?

"Yes, it is."

"It wasn't Bombon, the idiot aristocrat, who was leading the army, but the warrior, Baron Lulubisch, right?

"Yes, it is."

Every time a woman nods, the girl with blue hair looks happy.

"So, how did the elves win?

"I don't know that. The Empire also tried to hear from the returning soldiers, but the soldiers were heartbroken, unable to speak properly, and said nothing but ruptured things."

"You say you've done so much. Funny. Funny. Well, I've never been so heartbroken since I came to Erin from my own country. Just because I was bored and dying would help. Let the soldiers disperse, just in case."

"Yes, I will arrange it. And, lady, please don't be shy. I'm a woman."

"But with my snack, I'm entrusting my maid with a task beyond the realm. That's why you twitch."

"At least call me secretary"

"I don't like it. My lady, I'm losing strength. I'm not going to leave anyone besides the maid of honor."

"Whatever."

"You know what I mean. Heh heh, my guess is. He said he could finally do something big."

"Is it finally a big thing...... Erin has become so much richer in just five years since the lady came to rule this city. Commercial scale is about triple inflated. Its arms, its imagination, are recognised internally and externally. Aren't they doing something big enough?

The blue-haired girl opened her mouth with a finger pointed at her.

"This environment in this location. Left alone, this city grew up. I didn't just make it up early. But, hey, if you use that elf village power well, you'll see that I'm the only one who can do it. I want it. Elf Village Power"

"Indeed, the village of Elves is unusual these days. It's supposed to be destroyed in the first 500 raids."

The blue-haired girl nods. The Empire is the only powerful nation with a practical level of steelmaking technology. The power of soldiers armed with iron weapons is tremendous. It is not normally conceivable that an elf village with only about a hundred soldiers capable of twisting it and nearly five times the difference in power will be defeated.

What a difference of nearly fifty times the second time. Winning with this is no longer a dream story.

"For the first time, I hear that the village of Elves was able to win because, incredibly, we had multiple bows and arrows made of iron of quality that transcended the Empire and operated effectively. What happened to the second battle? It bothers me.

I'd love to talk to the new elf chief for once. I'd scout and pull in if I could. He seems like a shame to end up in a small village. That's right. Pioneering the port town now underway. Shall I leave that to you? If the ocean really sets the stage for commerce, history will move. "

I hear that all the changes in the village of Elf have been made since the head of the village of Elf changed.

According to an intermediate report, he is an excellent leader with a charisma, while at the same time excelling in the military, bright in agriculture, industry and carrying out various inventions and reforms. They all lead to enriching lives.

What surprises me is that when we embrace the survival of the village of Firefox, destroyed by the Empire, we have a good relationship without deteriorating our security. If we accept a large number of ethnic groups with different customs in a short period of time if we are normal, different kinds of indulgences will arise. I can also see from that the goodness of the new long hand.

"Ma'am, are you serious? It's an elf."

"I wonder what's wrong with that? Isn't it natural to want someone good as a governor?

"That's right...... it will be a spark"

"Fine. Besides, something that's so beneficial that you don't care about that. Knowledge of iron making beyond the Empire, if Erin gains this, he will be free to augment his armaments and make enough iron to sell to other countries. A bow of an elf with five times as much power, let a thousand or so soldiers line it up."

Just by gaining knowledge of steelmaking, we will be able to manipulate the inter-state power balance to some extent. If the kingdom of Corinne is winning even assuming that its own country will fight the Empire, then it will be possible to advance the battle to its advantage, and to supply arms to the countries that are contending with the hostile countries.

What scares me more is that they sell that knowledge to other countries. If that happens, the military Powers will be able to do so in no time.

Until now, nominally, I hesitated because direct interference in the villages of the Elves under the control of the Empire can be a spark between nations, but the Elves made contact easier thanks to their complete independence in this battle. I can't even tell you that the Empire is able to rule the Elf village by losing so much.

It has been futile, but trivial, to have sneaked soldiers into the vicinity of an elf village to secure an elf with nominally beneficial knowledge of the protection of refugees when the elf was destroyed by the Empire.

"I think the elf leader definitely has an excellent sense of economy. If they had been independent of the Empire without thought, the villagers would have starved and perished. Above and beyond that, we even have enough leeway to help keep more than the village's number of refugees from starving in the second battle. It's a pretty good one."

The blue-haired girl increasingly wanted an elf village head when she put her thoughts into her mouth.

I hear you're young, too. The whole thing,

"It would be nice to welcome you to my partner. This hasn't happened since I met the real thing. I don't like it if it's not beautiful."

"Consider your position. Being your son-in-law means being in this country..."

"I don't have that. I didn't like that, and I accepted the island flush. My brothers and sisters left in my country will do that on their own, so I won't be able to turn the order around. That's why I'm calling you a lady, not a princess."

Seeing a blue-haired girl laughing so blatantly, for a moment only, the woman distorts her expression and smiles until just now.

"... that's what the lady was like. Ma'am, we couldn't get much information this time, so we've got something to apologize for."

When a woman rings her fingers and signals, the door opens and the maid appears.

And on my desk, I leave two kinds of bottles, baked confectionery with brown syrup on a plate.

"What could this be?

"Actually, the elves seem to come to Erin more to do business. Looks like we're gonna pull it up tomorrow, as far as bookings are concerned."

"That's nice of you. And I'm surprised the elves are in business. I thought they were selling fur products or dried meat, but I'll have it soon."

The blue-haired girl cuts baked confectionery served on a plate with a prepared knife and includes it in her mouth.

When I took a bite, I opened my eyes and threw them into my mouth one after the other, emptying the plate in an instant.

"This is amazing. First texture. Not hard on that. Great sweetness. Unlike sugar, it has no clutter. I can't believe I can prepare enough delicious and sweet treats... how much is this for?"

"One silver coin (one thousand two hundred yen)."

"One silver coin is this sweet and delicious? You'll sell it to fly."

"Yeah, that was an amazing queue. It smells so good that I can stop my leg. It's delicious even if it's cold, but the baking is even more amazing, and I accidentally replaced it..."

"Yes, I ate two pieces of baked chicken."

"Well, let's put that away. The other two are amazing."

Sweating blatantly, women get off topic.

"One is the sweet sauce on the baked confectionery, the syrup on which it was based. One gold coin (60,000 yen)."

"About the same price as sugar."

"Yes, but. I buy these baked sweets when I notice their appeal. I also bought two bottles for myself."

"... I'll decide I didn't ask. But that's really sweet. It is also elegant and refined sweetness. I'd like to buy this in hundreds of copies for one gold coin. This bottle is amazing in the first place. Incredibly transparent and impure, is this the bow and the tail of a fox? Even cute carvings. I can't even make Erin like this. It's a work of art. This bottle alone is worth about a piece of gold."

"I thought so and the merchants were more gathered, but they were committed, and it was decided to have up to two per person. I've decided to sell it today, and it's the same day tomorrow and next month if I miss it."

The blue-haired girl puts her hand on her chin and thinks.

Is that why you can't produce in time? Or?

"I'm sure you're making a brand. I dare to narrow down my circulation to raise awareness rather than sell out everything I have right now. That's why bottles are quality and carved."

"I agree. Last but not least, alcohol. They say Elsier wine with alcohol based on syrup. This is twenty silver coins (24,000 yen)"

"That's a strong price. If I had a piece of silver, I could buy a lot of wine."

"Still, you have expectations. That's right. I'm working too, so I haven't been able to taste it."

"Well, I'll have a drink in front of you."

"Ma'am, you look a lot better than alcohol from daytime on the job."

"I'm not soft-bodied enough to influence my work with a glass of alcohol. Plus, what it takes to know the elves. This is your job, too. Drink. Work."

The woman laughed bitterly that she had no choice before pouring alcohol into the glass.

Sweet and sour, the aroma of soothing chest spreads around.

The blue-haired girl and woman smash a glass and toast, then slowly taste and drink.

"That's a good drink. You can pay twenty silver coins for this. Sweet, but its sweetness disappears naturally. The aftertaste is great. Good acidity, this is cranberry. The very water I use is delicious. Sounds very transparent and drinkable at all costs. I bought it and I liked it. Take about ten servants for one or two. I'd like to keep it for a gift."

The blue-haired girl was heartfelt surprised.

All three products prepared by Elves are well sold. I didn't think I could create such an attractive product.

This makes a huge amount of money, even for a small amount of luggage and a short period of time. A small village like the village of Elves would provide for all the villagers at least once a month.

"I wonder how much knowledge is in Elf's new head. What a shame, what a small village can't do, Erin and I could make you... Speaking of which, you went shopping yourself, right? Was there someone long?

"Yes, there was a man called the chief, so I thought I'd be sure."

"Handsome?"

The woman questioned opened her mouth even though she did not want to say it in anticipation of the reaction of her Lord.

"Yes, he's handsome. But she was younger than the lady and she looked like a teenager."

"I like younger people. You've been wanting it more and more. I'll definitely get it."

"What if they say no?

"War."

A woman hardens herself with that one word.

"Are you insane? The target is a monster that will kick out 4,500 Imperial soldiers."

The blue-haired girl smiles like a prank when she hears the words.

"It's not just war to beat him up. We can invade in culture, we can siege in commerce. This is a fine war, too. Erin has an overwhelming advantage, too. The village of Elves is not supposed to stand without a city called Erin. For starters, let's get ready to go to the village of Elves"

"Don't you call? I'm here now."

"One thing I'd like to see the village of Elves, and then, you know, it's better to get out of here, right? I have to adjust my schedule so I can stay away for a few days."

The blue-haired girl whistled and began to figure out how to scout the Elf village head.
