Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki

After I broke up with him, I headed to the consulate and caused Loreau, who was still asleep, to hear what was going on in the store.... I thought it was bad but I don't have time.

The store seems to be doing better.

Lela, the master of Kwe, and the girl Asur prepared for me, are partitioning it and are able to run it without any problems.

As always, maple syrup and crepe seem to be doing well, and fur products and preserved foods seem to sell well with it.

When I heard that story, I gave instructions to Loreau and the others before breaking up.

Stick until the product is gone, and as soon as it is gone, inform the next date before returning to Elsier.

"And then, if the chemical fertilizer deposited with Asur is allowed, is it cheap for a few years"

All this has to do is put it on Asur's arm.

I gave him the fertilizer and taught him exactly how to use it. If it is determined that the yield has increased, she herself will sell it to a leading merchant.

Yeah, well, you're not supposed to fail, so you can expect.

◇

I was running towards Belle Elsier.

For once, I feel like going back to Elsier and seeing Lucier and Ku's face, but I'm really far away. I shake off the thought of getting my hair pulled back and just run.

Thanks to that I was able to reach Bel Elsier in two days.

Originally, I want gates that are sometimes made more sturdy than Erin's, sometimes the base of the Empire.

"This is Master Cyril! There you are."

Welcomed as a gatekeeper was the face I saw. It is Johann, one of the five chief rulers of Bel Elsier and head of the Kobolt tribe. As always, I have a good smile from people and get a solid impression.

"I'm sorry. Don't contact me beforehand."

"No, you're always welcome, Cyril."

"I'm glad you said that. Johann, how is Bel Elsier's reign?"

"It's going well. I can't say enough... At least no inhabitants starve to death, and the soldier's training is increasing."

I'm glad you're honest with me. I have the most trouble being hidden. If they do, I can't help them.

I knew the problem was piling up.

"I don't have a choice. The people who originally lived elsewhere live together. That would be a fight. I'm used to it."

Johan laughed furiously when he said so.

As he put it, there are many races in Bel Elsier where refugees were able to gather. There is something called our own rules in each of them.

Bel Elsier's rules are set and well known under the discussion of the five great lengths, the heads of the powerful five species, which are to be followed but take time to penetrate.

"Hang in there, Johan. Instead, the problem with saying that is now the real deal. Because I'm on the verge of starving to death, I can't stand what I've been able to endure when my belly is swollen and I can afford it. We're starting to get more and more trouble."

Still, Belle Elsier is also able to operate in a bend because of the common perception that he can only live in Belle Elsier and that if he does not cooperate, he will fall together.

But when you can afford life, you start looking at things other than living. Belle Elsier is about to come into that phase.

"That's right, Master Cyril. Yeah, you're right. There are constant fights over really trivial things. Some of these Bel Elsiers have been expelled because of it."

"Don't take the trouble"

"No, it was because there was Belle Elsier that I was able to survive this far. At least my Kobolt tribe will never forget its gratitude. And in this Belle Elsier, I have decided to devote my life to the cause of Master Cyril."

"Thank you. It's comforting."

Exactly, there are only the Kobolts with the nature of dogs and strong loyalty.

Of the five leaders, I trust him most with the Kobolts. Conversely, a tribe is overseeing Bel Elsier in their own race and is seeking independence from Elsier.

I don't think it's bad to be ambitious. The people who said that have the passion to rule, and they lose their heads. It can be used effectively as long as there are opposing forces.

"Johann, I came here today to see how hemp grows, and the other thing is to see what's going on. Have you changed anything?

Johan thought about it and opened his mouth.

"Is that an unusual thing...... more refugees are starting to decrease. You really should have calmed down for a while, but that's a sudden increase."

"From the imperial side?

"Exactly. There are many refugees from villages that should have been relatively wealthy close to the Empire."

"I'm sorry, Johan. Let me talk to someone of the refugees from a village close to the Empire. Hopefully, there's enough upbringing to read and write."

"Yes, I did. We have just what we're putting in charge of growing hemp, so let's call it after the hemp inspection."

"Thanks. It would help if you did that"

"Now let me show you…. Bianna. I'll take care of the gatekeeper here."

"Yes, welcome, Master Cyril, Master Johan"

Johann took me inside Bell Elsier.

◇

"I'm more lively and surprised than I thought"

"There's a lot of people."

Within Belle Elsier, a wide variety of species are busily moving around in charge of farming tools.

Looking like a hunter, he had a bow in his right hand, and some of his left hand had a stalled pheasant hanging in one hand.

"Some of them are opening stores."

If you look at it, there were people spreading a big cloth on the road, spreading various products on top of it and opening an outdoor shop.

"Yes, we distribute the food that Lord Cyril gave us instead of growing hemp to the various races who are supplying us with labor, but we've come to exchange that food for that prey if you're a hunter, or for fish taken in that river if you're a fisherman. Other clothes woven by women are also subject to replacement. We're doing that because more people are starting to have too many hands on agriculture alone."

"Yeah, it's a good trend that's happening voluntarily. Some crops are unfamiliar."

"Some refugees, when fleeing their villages, have brought crop seeds and livestock, a little more consistent, but also more varieties to be raised. It's big to be able to share each other's knowledge because people come from all kinds of villages."

"I see, next time I'll have the seeds of a crop not in Elsier divided. Especially that red one."

I point to tomatoes. I want that from seedlings if I can because it's hard to grow it from seeds.

"Happy for you, Cyril."

I can see the fineness of relying only on supplies from Elsier forever. Besides, even though it is refugees who are here, all the races that we have ever lived on our own....... I guess it is desperate because I fully understand the meaning and the danger of leaving my own destiny to other races.

"Well, now we can't do without the seeds that Master Cyril gave us and the food, but we can secure the seeds for next year when the fall harvest is over. We'll get enough food to live on our own."

Johann's eyes, telling me that, have been full of motivation and hope.

Even then, it made sense to create Bel Elsier and help the refugees.... even if the shield that protects Elsier from the Empire is the beginning.

◇

"I grow up well. Proof that you're taking good care of me."

I was coming to a huge narcotics field.

When I was a dwarf, I sowed all the hemp seeds that I bought as long as I was Erin... on the land I plowed with the power of Queiro, growing them on a fairly large scale. This scale would never have been possible in Elsier.

"We grow really fast crops, and we're amazed how well we've grown so far."

The green stem is growing about 10 cm even though it is still about a month since I started growing it.

"Hemp can be harvested in three to four months. In a month, beautiful purple blossoms will bloom, and in another month, fruit will be harvested."

Perhaps sooner than the Empire comes at least Elsier. No matter how much money you collect, it takes that long to collect people and things.

"But what do you do with growing something like this?

"It's a lot of convenience. Hemp has male and female flowers. Male flowers can actually be edible. It has similar properties and flavours to soybeans, but it has a high nutritional value and intense flavour. It's such a treat."

Even on Earth, there is a thing called hemp tofu that uses hemp oil instead of soy milk. Many fans have a much stronger and more core sweetness and taste than tofu.

"The stem can be made into a garment material because it can take away premium vegetable fiber, and it can also make ropes that require sturdiness. If you work hard, you can make paper and there's no waste. And if you want to eat it, you can eat stems."

Historically, useful plants have been hard to come by.

He said, "You're a male, right? What do you do with the female fruit?

"The nutritional value remains the same... but intoxicating ingredients, ingredients that drive people crazy, are found in large quantities in the female flower fruit. There's more for males, but it's a very small amount, so I don't care. Female flower fruits, if eaten in large quantities, risk breaking. I'll teach you how to tell. Be careful."

"Dear Cyril, so what are you going to do with the female flowers?

"I'll make the most of it. The more males can eat, the more I can give you, and the more unusable stems, so you can make clothes with it. But all the female flowers are exclusive to Elsier. I supported food for that. There's more to Bel Elsier than what we're looking for."

"... ok. I don't ask deeply."

Johann looked blue at the word Bell Elsier would perish.

This female flower is what I'm looking for.

◇

I had one man summoned after the hemp inspection.

A man who has escaped from a village near the Empire.

"Dear Cyril, I've brought you"

"You're the head of the elf."

The race was human, as thin as a dead tree, with rough, exhausted eyes.

"That's right. I'm Elsier's leader."

"... Are you sure you're the one who made this Belle Elsier to accept refugees?

"Definitely. I started it all."

As a wall to prevent the march of the Empire, I accepted refugees to Bel Elsier.

"... well, then I don't resent you. I hate the Elves to death. If you hadn't been here, this wouldn't have happened to me. Damn, I really hate it when you don't resent me"

The man lays down his face and shivers his shoulders. A drop of tears fell.

"Tell me, what's the situation in the village?

"... oh, good. Shall we talk? Our situation."

◇

"My taxes suddenly went up. Temporary levy to fight the demons that destroy the Empire, even though it was just last fall. We couldn't afford it."

Even during the Spring War, the empire, which raised rather impossible funds and still lost, has even failed after an unscrupulous pursuit.

Still, if we're still thinking about next time, we need this much tightening.

"At first, they took all the food in hand. Next they sold my daughter and made her money.... There was nothing left if that kind of daughter didn't get a lot of money all over the city and pay taxes. I lost him, and nothing, nothing!

I'm gripping so hard that my hand turns white about how sorry I am that they took my daughter.

"Now to buy food, I'm feathers selling land. I don't have land, I can't grow food, that's why I had to pay the guy with the land to grow crops. I don't know how to live other than that, they take money in addition to taxes, and growing crops doesn't leave me with a grain of wheat. That's why I ran away. If I stay here, they'll kill me. The others in the village are with us."

"... I see"

The lowest foolishness I can think of.

If farmers sell their land, food production falls. It makes no sense if the peasants catch up enough to escape in the first place.

"If the elves hadn't rebelled, this wouldn't have happened. If you'd just lost, there wouldn't have been a duplicate tax increase. That's what I wanted to resent. Yet I can't believe the elves are benefactors. Who am I to resent!

The voice was so clogged that I didn't like it.

I'm sure, until now, he has lived by continuing to resent the elves. Belle Elsier helped me, asked me about me, and overturned my roots and lost my base.

"Let's admit that the elves have made the tax take-up tough. But we did it to protect our people. I have no intention of reflecting or regretting that."

To add, this man should have fought. If you can't do that, sooner, I wish you'd run away with my daughter.

"... I appreciate you letting me live here and give me a job. But there is an inseparable part. Stand up and don't say anything bad about you. I just need one favor."

"What?

"Finish the empire already. I can't do this any more. Such a hell, you'd better be gone. Every village is the same. No, not even in the city. So you just have to let the devil eat you up."

The words contained thoughts of all kinds.

"I promise. End the Empire."

For the first time, I said I would destroy the Empire.

The word "coexistence", which I kept searching for somewhere in my mind, somehow had a crack in the word.
