"Is there a problem as well?

Seeing the mouth-watering guard chief, I asked.

"Actually, there's no place in the city that looks like it could be a ranch. We need to secure a new location, but then we'll be a long way from town, so we'll have to create a new village to manage..."

"Then you can make a village."

Nia said there was nothing wrong with her mouth.

"Dear Nia, you can't build a village on your own. This city has no guardians... Originally, when we set up a new village, we had the permission of the lord."

As the guard chief bitterly says, he drops his gaze.

"I see, you mean you can't make a discretionary decision..."

That's what I'm saying, I'm going to see how the captain feels.

Must be teething.

"Yeah, I'm sorry to bother you... I heard about the lord's death. I also thought I'd ask you, in this mess, if I could get your permission right away... That's what I think, and it's the truth that I'm stepping on two legs."

"Well... like when you're in a makeshift house, you can't just let Grimm do it on his own"

I'm out!

Nia's usual light thoughts......

"Whatever it takes, you can't build a village on your own."

"Yes... then... it doesn't have to be a village. If we build a ranch and hire the evacuees! You can run a ranch!

Nia says it's as simple as that...

... but... somehow... it still feels good.

Hmmm...... maybe I can go with that......

I'll buy a lot of land and have it managed in the form of hiring people there.

You can also offer him a house.

"Captain Guard, assuming I run the ranch as Nia's proposal now suggests, is there any land you might be able to sell?

Even if we adopt Nia's proposal, we can't do it without land in the first place.

I just... checked.

"Hmmm...... whatever. Land in the city buys and sells in bureaux and merchant guilds, but outside the city it is basically called a mansion and becomes the property of a lord. Will I be able to buy or sell any other land… I will consult with my deputy once."

With that said, he was to consult with the deputy at the head of the guard.

Depending on that conclusion, maybe I could start the ranch.

It's just... I wonder how much it would cost to do the ranch.

I wonder if I have enough money......

We left the village of Ori and decided to return to the city of Magne once.

As we entered the city, more and more people came together to find our 'home carriage'...

It's been like a parade again for some reason.

"Thank you for your help!

"Thank you, Fairy Goddess, for saving my life!

"Thank you for saving my territorial capital!

"Awesome young man. Well, thanks."

"Yikes, young husband! Shit, I like it ~!

"Young lady - come and have a drink"

"Hey! Young Admiral!

"Thanks for everything!

Looks like some of the refugees we treated you with.

And the story of saving the territorial capital seems to be spreading and gaining a reputation.

No matter what you think, the information is passed on too quickly...

It just seems like the guard chief or something is spreading the word...

"Lord Grimm!

Looking at the loud familiar voice at the moment, it was Mr. Torcone.

He approached the carriage and asked me to come to the inn, so I decided to stop by before I went back to the house.

When I entered the inn, there was the rest of the Sayas.

Looks like he was resting here after helping out with the guards at first thing in the morning.

"No - Lord Grimm, Dear Nia, Looks like you've been working again. Thank you so much for saving us all the way to the Reichsfuhrer. In the city, we're all out on the subject. Saya and Milky seem to be having a tough time being heard."

Really... there was no such story in Saya's report...

"Is that right, Saya?

"Yes, there is no particular major obstacle, but it is quite difficult to say hello because I ask you all to speak up. So lately, we've been trying to use carriages for even a little travel."

Seemed pretty tough.

They come to this inn for breaks a lot.

Recently, in addition to sausages, they have also delivered milk from eggs and goats laid by the squid chickens.

I had it the other day, but the oocyte chicken eggs were excellent.

It tasted just like a luxury egg that cost hundreds of yen a piece in the original world.

No, it could be more than that.

Mr. Nekol also seemed happy because he could get fine egg and goat milk.

Lone's beekeeping seems to be doing well, too.

That's just not at the honey harvesting stage yet, but the bees seem to be working pretty hard.

Wouldn't I be able to pick it much faster than normal?

Mr. Torcone is steadily preparing to move into his newly purchased accommodation.

He also seems to be helping guards, such as using carriages to carry luggage.

Rone is also a buddy of "Bug Horse (Chiuma) Gigaball". Ji let her pull a small luggage truck and she helps carry the luggage.

Looks like the luggage truck I use to help me got a little something that I stopped using in the Guard.

In this town, 'Gigaball', a dandruff shaped worm horse, seems very rare and catches the eye.

Especially popular with the kids and they seem to come to touch it.

There seemed to be a weird adult involved once in an effort to 'gigaball', but he said he was repelled by the slime on patrol.

I think we should raise the level for Rone's safety... but we can't make him one of us...

"The Bug Man" seems to get some experience just like Tamer when the level of "The Devil of Usage (Familia)" and the Bugs increases, so if this "Gigaball" thing gets stronger, I think Lone can level up to some extent with that experience.

Maybe next time you can give me some reason to specially train Danji in secret to make him strong.

Looks like Mr. Torcone wants to talk to us about the new lodge.

So we decided to have a little early lunch here.

That's what you call a lunch meeting.

What Mr. Torcone wants to talk to you about...

Simply put, although I bought a new accommodation with my assistance, I was worried that it should open now.

In a situation where the entire territory is so confused, travelers, merchants, etc. are unlikely to come, and they don't think guests can be expected for the lodging section.

As for the dining room and tavern section on the ground floor, Mr. Nekol and Lone, who are the only ones who can be expected to come to the store, are understaffed.

I wish I could help, but the captain of the guard asked me to help the guard, and he said he was willing to help for a while.

So they're worried about what to do with the relocation opening.

There are some things about this kind of problem being one way of thinking, and it doesn't mean what's right.

The only thing I can say is that Mr. Nekol's food is amazing, and Saya's sausage tastes great.

Anyone who eats it will probably smile and feel better.

That's when I'm confused when I think about it, so I want you to eat good food and get better.

I suggested if I had such a philosophy.

"Sure... people get hungry at all times, and eating good food will make them feel better..."

Mr. Torcone looks up and closes his eyes as he arms up.

"Right, you...... it's the new lodging I got because of it, and let's get started! l

"I'll help you too. Good luck!

Both Mr. Nekol and Lone seem openly positive.

"Right...... yeah, this is the time to make everyone smile! Serve delicious food!

Looks like Mr. Torcone's feelings have hardened too.

It has a neat face.

"It's going to be hard to get used to it right after it opens, so on the contrary, you might want to focus on the dining room/tavern section on the ground floor because not many innkeepers come in."

When I say that,

"So is that. Yeah, sure!

Mr. Torcone smiled.

Yeah, let's think about it, it's one way of thinking about it.

"And then, if possible, I think you should make a clear decision to make it a feature of the store or a“ sale ”first"

I was old fashioned to make a suggestion.

I want you to succeed.

"Features...... Selling......?

Mr. Torcone tilts his neck with his imaginary face.

Mr. Nekol and Lone are similarly inclined to their necks.

"This is my opinion as a single customer, but in cooking...... I think you should think of something relatively inexpensive and easy to order, in addition to the 'cattle stew' you're selling right now, and something that would make you want to come and eat here"

It's called a sign menu.

You think you should have something like that, don't you?

"Well... first of all, Saya's sausage, this isn't expensive... I guess it means something special..."

Mr. Nekol shines his eyes as he attaches his fingers to his jaw.

"Mother, if you even think about cooking some eggs! Eggs brought to you by Archie and the others, so delicious!

Lone took it seriously, too, and suggested it to me.

That... might be good!

I wonder if there's anything in the egg dish...

"Right... I don't know what to do..."

Looks like Mr. Nekol thought egg dishes would be good too.

——— That's right!

I came up with a good dish that was easy to cook!

That's my favorite egg dish!

That's...
