Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

I handed over dragon materials to Paisine and the others, and I did my favors on ordering and promoting the recruitment of the people when they came to the village of Ill again, and that ended my first deal with Paisine.

Though there have been a lot of unexpected things, I think it would have been a not a bad deal if we had ended this way.

I kind of got a lot of stuff.

I started to prepare for my return when the deal was over because I was in a hurry, and then I dropped them off outside the village to make sure the carriage disappeared across the meadow... and then I turned my foot to the warehouse with Francis and Francois walking at my feet with Tokotoko.

In front of the warehouse, there was Arner and Klaus and Maya, and they were looking at the items piled up in front of the warehouse and what was wrong with the twins who stood before them and still didn't say a word without expression.

Arner and Klaus don't like razors and horns, and Grandma Maya doesn't like kids... surprise you.

"Klaus, ask for this"

That being said, I deposit the battle axe with Klaus, then approach the twins, hug Gabari and the twins with both hands, and hold them up as they are.

"Are you 3 or 4?

We're both too skinny, so we'll have a good meal from today on.

Arner's rice is delicious, so look forward to it.

... So, yeah, my name is Diaz, what's your name? Why don't you tell me?

……

……

Keeping the twins held up with both hands, they stare at each other with the right child at such close proximity that there is no gap, staring at each other with the left child, and in that way they speak so as they look into each other's eyes alternately.

But the twins remain as faceless as ever, with their green eyes not shaking slightly... and I still won't give up.

Knowing the evil of my giving up that has taken care of so many orphans, but good, I keep calling that and this with my twins in my arms.

What is your favorite play, what is your favorite food, and what is your name?

What's your favorite song, what's your favorite old story, and the name thing again.

Keep your voice open with your twin eyes staring, careful not to keep smiling.

"What? What? Keep your mouth shut, maybe you don't have a name?

If you don't have a name, I'll be your named parent.

This is not the first time I've ever named a child. Don't worry.

So, what's a good name? You two are girls, so do you want a pretty name?

My twin eyes shake slightly when I say that with a smile on my face.

If the parents loved these kids enough to throw everything out, they couldn't have named them, and I dared to say this after figuring it out.

If my parents loved these kids, these kids would have loved their parents too.

There's no way these kids can get rid of the name that my parents gave me...

"... hey!

"... not needed"

and the twins raise their voices without hesitation.

I'm glad for the way it looks. It's a heartfelt smile, not a smile I created for my kids.

Was it from the despair of losing both parents that the twins stayed motionless and without talking, or in protest against us, adults other than our parents, not coming into our own world... maybe both?

Children who do so tend to dwell on the world in their shells, and sometimes they can't break their shells intact because they're afraid of everything in the outside world, and I've seen some of those children.

The end of a child who did... is largely tragic... but this twin used his love for his parents to break its shell beautifully.

Well done. I speak to both of you again, holding back a lot of my desire to praise you for doing this.

"... right, well, don't like my name.

Then why don't you tell me your name?

If you don't tell me, I don't know what to call you, and we're in trouble. "

"... senai"

"... ihan"

"Right, right, Senay and Aihan!

Thanks for sharing your name, you're both such cute good names!

Then Senay and Aihan, me and the guy there, Klaus, are going to have to pack this stuff.

So until that's over, I want you to take a bath there with Sister Arner and Grandma Maya, get some new clothes ready, and I want you to finish your meal, can you?

When I say that, Senai and Aihan shift their gaze to Arner and the others and nod slowly as they tie their mouths in dissatisfaction.

I said I would be fine with this condition. I slowly put Senai and Aihan down to the ground and call on Arner and Maya, who are somewhat stunned to look after me, to take care of me as I just said.

Both Arner and Grandma Maya had the look on their faces that they wanted to say something to me... but you know you should take care of them first.

Arner and the others take Senai and Aihan's hands and leave the warehouse in conversation with them, whether they are friendly voices or this.

Klaus, who seemed to take care of the battle axe when he was dropping off such a togetherness, approached him and opened his mouth with a smile.

"Hey, I'm surprised.

I didn't know Dear Diaz was good with children. "

"You may not have told Klaus, but before the war, you did something like a compiler for the orphans, and the way you did it earlier is one of the shitty ways you knit it it out in there.

I did a lot of things on behalf of orphan parents back then, and that's when I took care of my newborn baby. "

"I see.

Does naming also mean that child?

"Yeah, I named him that kid, and everything else.

I wanted to throw away my name, or I don't remember it, for a variety of reasons.

I guess there were about 10 of them all named... I hope they are still doing well... "

"... What happened to those children when Master Diaz was going to war?

"Oh, there was a man with me who looked after the orphans, and I left that to him.

I told him to go far away because the war was coming, but I don't know where he went and why he's here now. "

"If you're feeling better, maybe one day you'll come and see me when you hear the rumors of Death."

"I hope so...... well, that's it for the story. Let's start packing.

As far as the inventory Paigen gave me... if we don't hurry, it won't be over by sundown. "

When I say that, Klaus hastily goes to Yurt to put down his battle axe... and that's how he starts packing.

As far as the inventory goes, most of the baggage is food.

I don't even have time to taste the contents, so I will just gently open the lid of the box and barrel and check that the inventory matches the item.

Some dried meat, some dried fish, some dried grapes.

10 bags of wheat... It's awesome to know a barrel of wax left in the shell.

Hmm, this barrel is grape wine... let's keep this in the back of the warehouse before Arner finds it.

After that, is there even ore in the skins of the animals that have disappeared?

Plus, there are 3 salt barrels... they also have intestinal fillings in the salt barrel.

Yeah, I appreciate some cheese, it's nourishing and I'll feed Senay and Aihan later.

That's how me and Klaus check the inventory and bring the stored and non-food items to the back of the warehouse and the food to be eaten early in front of the warehouse.

The dragon material is still there, and things are getting bigger and the warehouse is getting narrower... I might have to ask for the warehouse expansion soon.

Well... this is the end of the inventory package... so what is this little crate?

I don't even have an inventory number on the box... I think I left all my inventory stuff in the warehouse, huh?

As I alternately stare at the inventory and its crate and tilt my neck as strange, Klaus also peeks into my inventory at hand... and tilts his neck as I do.

"Dear Diaz, what the hell is this box?

"No, I don't either, there's nothing on the inventory... it's the first box I've seen and I'm pretty sure it's what Paige brought me.

... Let's just check the contents "

When I say that, Klaus nods and slowly reaches for the crate after saying that he will open it for safety.

Klaus opens the lid of the box with horror and caution... and the contents of the crate are revealed.

Apparently, this crate was a small storage unit, clutterfully packed with various trinkets.

"Oh, I see. Did you put all the products of the trinkets together in this crate?

It's not in the inventory because... it's not worth a lot?

When I say so, Klaus nods silently before beginning to take out the contents of the crate for his hand.

Round, square, cylinder... all this is just the first thing I see... how the hell are these tools to use?

"Oh, I know this, it's binoculars, binoculars.

The knights used special glass when they peeked in to see the distance.

It's definitely expensive... oh, there's two. "

Klaus explains that as he lifts a round cylinder painted with black paint.

Ha, I have such a handy tool.

"Later......

The spinning needle in this glass case... is it a magnet? It's moving in response to other iron products.

Oh, this is a map around here, it's a lot more sophisticated than I saw in Wang Du.

I have paper, pen and ink... and this is a thin, twisted bunch of iron... a locking tool...?

And iron shackles. "

What a bunch of non-unitary tools, especially if they sell locking tools?

Are you sure you're okay with dealing with that stuff? Paige and the others.

"On a small, thin iron yasri, on a planting knife that can be hidden in a belt buckle...... some things are kind of noisy.

Hmm... No, half of them are just tools that don't even know what they're made of. "

"If some things are noisy, let's leave what we don't know for sure in that crate, and we'll even hear it the next time Paige comes.

I'll make sure to carry my glasses with me and Klaus all the time because there will be a lot of useful occasions.

Later... I guess I'll keep the map in my yurt so everyone can see it at any time. "

When I say that, Klaus nods, agrees, and tells me he hides it in his yurt so the kids don't touch it while closing the crate lid tightly.

So now it's time to finish packing, and just then Arner and Maya come back here with Senai and Aihan, who are beautiful.

Maire, clothes that just made you wear things that just drilled holes through your neck and arms and wrapped strings around your hips to secure them? It's better than the borough cloth just now.

Yeah, you're also wrapping cloth around your feet and replacing your shoes, and this meadow would hurt your legs a lot, and that might be good for the time being.

All right, well, then why are you standing there and trying to protect you two from me?

"Diaz, you may not have noticed it yourself, but I just lifted the two of you that remain dirty and your body and clothes are pretty dirty with the packing.

I can't believe you're still holding me up with dirt. Can't you just turn me into Senai and Aihan? "

If Arner says that to me and I look at my clothes and arms again...... yeah, you're pretty dirty, like I was told.

I'm going to take a shower at Arner and the others, and I'm going with Francis to the creek.

That's how I looked back at it as I headed to the creek and I saw Senai and Aihan having a conversation with Arner making a small smile... oh, I shrug without thinking it was a good idea.

... Yeah, no, I really think so from the bottom of my heart... so I'm not jealous.

So Francis and Francois, that's how you don't have to rub your body trying to comfort me, okay?

Maermeyer.

Maermeyer.

Yeah... well... yeah... I'll just take that feeling from you guys.
