"Let me name you first, my name is Mall, the length of the ghost tribe.
We ghosts have been at odds with the kingdom for a long time... over your kingdom and grassland control.
We talked over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
... but 50 years ago in the war, we lost a lot of people, and we fled this meadow... so the kingdom gained control of this meadow. "
Mall, who was smiling at me, starts talking about that with his face badly distorted.
I wonder how old Mall was 50 years ago, that seems a hard memory to her.
Having heard that story, I correct my residence, swallow the words of the mall and leave the questions that come to mind in my mouth.
"If you fled this meadow 50 years ago... how could you guys live on this meadow now?
"Oh, my God, I just snuck back to the meadows after I ran away, a couple of months after I lost the war."
"... Has the Kingdom ever missed that?
"This is the answer, this"
With that said, Mall points his finger at the corner of his forehead.
What the hell is a blue, shining horn to say?
"This horn is a horn that accumulates magic.
By accumulating magic, you can use a variety of magic that can't be used without horns, one of which is cover-up magic.
We've been hiding in the meadows for 50 years, covering the entire village with cover-up magic.
You couldn't find this village yesterday because of the cover-up magic. "
"Are you sure you want to tell me a secret that's important to such a village?
I'm a man on the kingdom's side... "
"You're blue, I wouldn't tell you if you weren't blue.
... What, you didn't know what blue meant yet?
You're an ill-conceived man.
One of the only magic we can use is a soul test that identifies the other soul.
If they are dangerous or hostile to us, the horns will shine and the colour and intensity of that light will tell us how dangerous they are. "
"Uh... I see, I mean, blue is no hostility. Is that what you mean?
I think it's too far-fetched to tell a secret... "
When I say that, Mall smiles with a crooked mouth.
"No, no hostility is white.
Blue is the light that brings happiness and grace to us in front of each other, and by that degree the light becomes stronger.
If you have any hostility or lies along the way, the blue light should start to cloud and get closer to red.
You never had it... I'm glad to hear your old story.
It's a stupid way of life to keep your parents' will and live until that year without a plan or anything, because it's not something you can do inside. "
"... is that-... is that complimented?
"What are you talking about, you've been praising me for a long time.
I've lived a long time too, but I've never seen a fool like you before in my life. "
That's what the mall says. Cuckoo laughs.
Hmm, I guess I feel more denigrated than complimented.
"It is most fortunate for us that such an idiot became lord of the land... I am also convinced that the horns glow blue.
If I get along well with you at any rate, I might not have to rely on cover-up magic, or I might be able to expand my village if I do.
... because there are limits to the scope of cover-up magic. Hey, I've struggled for the last 50 years without being able to expand my village. "
"Why are you so obsessed with this meadow?
Somewhere... could we have gone out of the realm and built a big village there?
"Hometown isn't so easy to get rid of... and the livestock Maire, who supports our lives, eats a lot of grass.
This meadow, rich in soft, nutritious grass, is a hard place to leave inside... "
"... I see.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't think you guys have anything to think about, and if you want to make the village bigger, you can let me go...
They only tell me to protect my people and collect money... well, not a single one of them is there yet... "
"Ha... you're a real idiot!
Don't you think we should negotiate a little bit, or we could put conditions on it?
I can't help it at all!
... You don't have a house or food, do you? We'll get you some livestock, but we'll split it it up.
Instead, you're gonna miss us, and you're not gonna tell anybody about this village or about us? Even the king's opponent.
And gather the people together at all costs to become a fine lord, and if you lose your legs, this story will be gone for both the ex and the child.
Besides, if you're gone, what kind of guy's gonna be the lord here next?
"Well of course the lord's job... I don't mind missing out or shutting up about this village because I meant to from the start...
...... hmm? Like before?... you had a lord's predecessor?
"Oh, I thought you were there.
Even so, he had other territories, and he seemed to live there.
Occasionally, I put my face on this meadow... well, it was like an idiot doing bad taste.
Not long before you arrived... you look sick and dead. "
That said the face of the mall started to shade somewhat darkly... and the previous lord seemed to have done something somewhat less hobby.
Arner, who stands at the side of the mall, has also made his face stretch somehow since the subject of the former lord came up, and what the hell did he do... for more information... maybe you shouldn't ask.
"That's a good story, isn't it?
Let's talk about the future, the future.
I'll do the house just like I told you, it'll be smaller than this house... but right, let's let you build it where you and Arner met.
I'll get you some groceries to change.
That and the food. Let's just say we do dried meat for a week.
After that, it's Maire's turn... and I'll lend Arner as a caretaker for a while.
You two live together in that house. "
I was surprised by the words in the mall and couldn't say anything... Arner seemed surprised many times more than I was and trembles with his eyes open.
"You don't even know how to take care of livestock, do you?
I need to take care of the house after I build it.
There's so much to remember about how to deal with the beasts that live here, how to avoid illness, and teach Arner there.
Arner, that's good for you too, right? You're the one who brought the rest of us to the village, so take responsibility until the end of the day. "
Arner tries to say something as he hoists his eyes at the mall saying that, but swallows words at a glance at the mall... reluctantly nods and accepts my caregiver.
"Now you've got the story together.
For that reason, Lord of the Meadows, it's my pleasure to greet you. "
Discussion ends with a word of such a mall, and thus I succeed in securing where I lived and securing food, which was my goal.
The decision to live with the caretaker Arner was an unexpected development, but I ask the great guy if he's a butler or a maid of honor and the caretaker is an accessory.
There were a lot of maids in the royal palace, so let's just accept it.
The atmosphere is different from that of a maid I saw in the royal palace, a little... a lot... no, it feels pretty wild... but not bad for a maid like that... should be, yeah.
