I came to the deputy mansion in the middle of the village.

Large mansion with courtyard on two floors.

Entering as servants and knights bow their heads.

I was told I had turned my former study upstairs into an office, so I heard a weird voice going up the stairs.

It came from the office. A clear voice like you're singing.

When I walked in wondering, Etoile, who had come to see clothes like beautiful dresses, was circling in a large room with only a desk.

Documents are scattered around the area.

"What the heck! What the hell?! It can't be! Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho."

I kept turning with a grin like a sneer. The hem of the dress widens and you can see smooth, thin feet.

I was going crazy.

"What's up? Etoile."

When I called, Etoile came running back to me. Red hair spreads fluffy.

"Ahhh! Kaika! Until now, we have not applied for permits to renovate land or new businesses, nor have we rooted for the surrounding nobility at all! It's all illegal architecture. There's nothing you can do!

"Hmm? Really? You see the king straight away and you get permission?

"I hear that, but if you are planning this kind of equipment and business in all relevant locations, you have to submit the documents in advance..."

Well, so is that. Facilities that can accommodate large numbers of people, such as schools, inns, etc. in hospitals.

And high walls in the Knights Stuffing.

If you look at it the way you look at it, you can also take it that you're trying to flip an anti-flag.

The military power that has always stood out in the world is something that can be seen from the country.

"Really? Well, good luck with your ex-post consent."

"Ha... but I'll do my best..."

Etoile dropping his shoulders disappointingly.

- Well, there was an implication that I was asked to come to Etoile to welcome the royal family as deputies as proof of their unwillingness to conflict with the country.

I just had to get Etoile to do his best.

I made a grin.

"Don't be so distracted. I can handle it because I'm here. - Well, we have to reward Etoile for his hard work."

"Ho, reward? What can I get you?

He dyed his cheeks in anticipation and looked up at me. I'm putting my hand on my tiny chest.

"We're going to build the breadth of the waterway that we're pulling from the Great River to the breadth that we can run the ship through now. Don't ask me to apply."

Etoile shouted with his head in his arms.

"No! More work ~! I haven't rooted for it, but no! - It's a ghost! There's a ghost in here!

"Yeah, you look energized. Come on."

"Heh... I'll try...... gu"

He was crooking his beautiful face and crying.

I got a little pathetic, so I hugged him and pounded him on the back.

"I'll have to leave this to someone who's good at it. I'm counting on you."

"No, it's sloppy...... ahhh"

Etoile buried his face in my chest so as to hide his reddened cheeks.

Over the clothes, a twisted chest was pressed.

Etoile raised his face to see if he regained reason after a little time.

Peek into the mighty eyes that tend to hang at close range.

If you say so, Kaika.

"What?

"There is a suspicious movement in the nobility."

"Suspicious?"

"Thank you, Territorial Lords, for gathering behind us to pull Kaika's leg."

"Territorial nobility?

"Yes, here in the Kingdom of Daphnes there are aristocrats with territories and nobles who serve the country without territories and as bureaucrats."

"I see... you're on guard over me building Kaika Village. He said that in the future, if active, they might take even more territory."

"Probably."

"With that said, when you applied to the King for Kaika Village before, you had a rebellious nobleman"

"Who would that be?

I put my hand on my head and remembered my name.

"There were definitely five of you. Oristalkos, Milford, Zaragon, Pastorias, Katowicz, was it"

Etoile nodded in my arms. Red hair shakes.

"These are the Dukes of the old royalty. It's a territorial nobleman with a massive territory."

"You mean a bifurcated muscle"?

"No, you don't. The Kingdom of Daphnes was originally six countries."

"Ho."

"That means you can't win by responding in every country in the battle against the Demon King's Army, forming the same United Kingdom of Kingdoms with the same monarchs. Afterwards, there was a struggle between the forces and a lot of things, and the Daphnes family of the Ataxi ruling Nakahara became the royal muscle."

And she spoke so quickly about the old countries.

Chloe, King's Capital of the Daphnes Family, Kingdom of Etruscan (Nakahara)

Orisha Kingdom Oristalkos Family King's Capital Kerkira (Western)

Chester, King's Capital, Milford Family, Kingdom of Midlands (North)

Kingdom of Catalina Zaragon King's Capital Dollar Earth (South)

Port Metra Kingdom Pastorias King's Capital Pombahar (Oriental)

Kobolov, King's Capital of the Katowicz Family, Kingdom of Tsaria (Northwest)

"You've got a few stops in town. I thought it was a big regional city, but was it the old king's capital?"

"This village of Kaika was originally part of the Duke of Milford family."

"You've come to harass me as a tax collector one day... but I've demanded a bribe"

Ha ha. Etoile fades her neat face.

"No way, I gave it to you!?

"I took my fried legs and drove them back"

Exhaling relieved, he buried his face in my chest again. I feel soft body temperature.

"That's Kaika... I'm relieved. I was accused of using bribes to make things easier."

I felt nature and wrinkles leaning between my eyebrows.

"Ugly...... I didn't know you were going to trap me"

"Noble society is about fried feet."

said Etoile in a somber voice.

She didn't lose her legs without grabbing the evidence while acting tyrannically like that, too, so she should be a pretty tough girl.

I caressed Etoile's back and questioned him.

"The kingdom of Fabrica didn't seem to have that much say in nobility."

"Most of the country's desertification has left nobles powerless, all bureaucratic nobility."

"So you can centralize it? You're an absolute king."

"They just say there are dissatisfied molecules because even the nobles who were protecting the land were forced to be bureaucratic nobles...... hiha!?

All of a sudden, I put all my strength into my arms. The luxurious limbs of Etoile harden.

"- That's a pain in the ass, really. I don't want to come near the nobles. Leave it to Etoile... No, wait?

"... Huh? What's going on? Kaika?"

Etoile, who for some reason was leaking a hot exhale, tilted his neck.

I was remembering the auction.

"Milford nobles competed for Princess Tiara, didn't they? It was the Milfords who were competing for the Knights of Conditional Slavery."

There was also a cute crease between the eyebrows of Etoile.

"... it stinks."

I can think a lot about what I'm going to set up, but I don't want to have to destroy the village I grew up in because of this.

Because now we have to gather the faithful to defeat the Demon King.

"Before they do it, you better do it. - Etoile, I'm going to say hello now."

"Yeah, I get it. I have the paperwork and the carriage ready, so I'll take a moment."

"I'll take care of it. I'll finish the civil works in the meantime."

"Yes, you're welcome to come"

Etoile put his hand on my chest and left with regret.

"Oh, I'm coming"

When I reached out, I mixed her red hair together.

"Hiha! What are you doing? No!"

Etoile screamed adorably.

I laughed unexpectedly and left the deputy's mansion.
