Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

Everyone gathered in the square listening to the sound of the bell will be given gold coins as they thank each and every one of them.

Two for those who went out on the battlefield, and one for those who did not.

Give it to Senay and Aihan, the children of the dogs, Maya and Francis... and thank them all again.

That's how when I tried to say it was good to break up, a young man from the Shep clan, who held Tokotoko and gold coins with both hands, seemingly important, advances in front of me.

The young man, as an aside, stares firmly at me...... and calls out.

"Dear Diaz!

Can I drill a hole in this gold coin?

That's what they say...... I'm amazed.

I didn't know you wanted to punch a hole in the gold coin you just gave it as a reward... what the hell is going on?

Even if you drill a hole, the gold is gold, so it doesn't make it extremely worthless... but the merchant who receives the gold coin with the hole won't look good.

When I worry about what a word I gave back to that young man, the other dogs gather at my feet and ask permission to drill a hole in the gold coin myself.

Speak to those dogs to calm down... and kneel down, gaze at them, and then...

"Uh... why would you want to drill a hole in a gold coin?

I'm not telling you not to drill a hole, but I want you to let me know why before you do. "

And when I speak, the young man earlier returns his voice with his eyes shining.

"If you drill a hole, you can go through the string!

Once you've put the string through, you can lower it from your neck!

The reward I received from Dear Diaz, that's how I want to keep it with me forever!

"Ever......?

No, no, no, it's gold... it's currency, right?

When the pedestrian arrived, he wanted me to buy him something he wanted or something he liked, so I gave it to him... "

When I return that word in amazement at the young man's words, the young man holds the gold coin all over his chest, shakes his neck sideways if he doesn't like it, and tears up his voice if he doesn't want to use it or let go.

Whatever the degree of difference the other dogs have, everyone has shown a similar attitude... hmmm, I wonder what's wrong with this.

Previously, the dogs were given gold coins and silver coins as a reward for their daily labor to be discussed and used by their families.

The dogs adorned and admired the gold coins and silver coins received within each yurt... I thought it was an act that came from the joy of getting the job I had been waiting for and getting paid for it as a result... but apparently it wasn't.

An important souvenir for them...... or do you mean a memento?

I will let the dogs like it... It may be my hand, but I have asked Paisine to use a large amount of products for the dogs, so I would be in trouble if they didn't use the currency as currency.

"... do you have any special thoughts on gold or silver?

"I know it's sparkling and beautiful, but it's not particularly thoughtful or anything!

"... does that mean 'reward from me'?

"Yes! Yes!

Glad to reward you! Commemorative! "

"Then something instead...... if I give you a good reward, will you use gold coins as gold coins?

When I say that after a few questions, the dogs stare at the gold coins in their hands and worry... they worry so much that they nod at me if it's a better reward than this.

He nodded and settled one thing...... I hope so, but the problem still remains.

... What the hell am I supposed to prepare for a good reward like replacing gold coins?

Tell me yourself, what is it, but I can't think of anything.

Besides, we have to prepare it for nearly 100 dogs... Ugh...

As I haunt my head that way, Arner, who was watching a series of streams, comes to my side... and raises his voice to the dogs.

"I know exactly how you guys feel.

... For example, would you be happy if Diaz rewarded the fangs and bones of the beast he hunted with his own hands with the neckline that Diaz processed from his hand?

The dogs sprang up at once on Arner's words and began to tail down hard.

That's how the dogs seem to be very pleased with me... but what Arner means by beast, I mean arr...?

"Okay, so for today, let's break up and get back to work.

... make sure you don't lose your coins.

As soon as the neckline is finished, Diaz will hand it to each and every one of us. "

When Arner says so, the dogs break up leaving word that they are looking forward to it as it strenuously shakes their tails, moving to their respective workplaces.

The Mayan grandmothers who were watching, Klaus and Kanis, left this place with them... and so they waited for everyone to be gone. Senai and Aihan, who were about to hold Ayma, rushed up to us.

"We want your reward necklace, too!

"I want it! I want it!

Senai and ihan bouncing cheerfully with Piong Piong while saying that.

... No, well, I don't mind making it for both of us if you want it so badly -.

"- What Arner said about the beast is probably about the black gee, right?

Senay and Aihan would eat a lot, too, wouldn't they? It's about that boned meat that's often in the soup.

... that bone-processed necklace, you want it?

I used to...... black gee meat hunted when I just came to this meadow and processed into dried or smoked meat in a haunted village.

If it's a bone that sticks to it, it's easy to get it, and it's not hard to count it.

Arner had a strange rhetoric... but a black gee bone is just like burying it there as garbage and throwing it away.

such a black gee bone neck ornament...... Senay and Aihan's reaction to

"... you might not want it"

"... I'm not here"

And that's what it was.

... Well, it's something we usually throw away as trash at our own hands, so the reaction would be natural.

Doing a necklace made of such garbage even for me as a reward to a bunch of dogs looking forward to all that reward is... heartbreaking or I can't help but think it's unacceptable...

And thinking about that,

"Hey, if you put that amount of effort into making it, you won't have a problem.

It is also clear from their attitude towards gold that what the dogs crave is not something of value, but something that shapes Diaz's feelings.

Carefully sharpen with your feelings, one by one… If Diaz is still uncomfortable, you can embed even a small gem to make it look good.

If it's a piece of gem, it's like a mountain. "

Guess what I'm thinking, as usual, or Arner gives me that advice.

If you do feel comfortable and carefully get your hands on it, and embed the gems on top of it, it will be quite... a good looking necklace.

I don't like that kind of detailed work, or a little clumsy for me... no, it would be a pretty tough task... well, yeah... shall we do our best for the dogs?

"Don't worry, Diaz. I'm good at machining and stuff like that.

I can teach you the trick of being clumsy but doing well, and Diaz should improve soon. "

Arner advises me that way, not even a word out of my mouth again......

"... yeah, thanks Arner.

I'm so glad you said that.

... and I've been wondering about that for a long time... am I that easy to understand?

I think I've been reading too much of what I'm thinking even though I haven't said anything from earlier...

... Could that be it? You're using the same bargaining technique on me as you used on Paisine earlier?

When I say that, Arner smiles gently and smiles... keeping his mouth shut and saying nothing.

Senay and Aihan are laughing with their hands down their mouths... and Aima on Aihan's shoulder is shivering away from me.

... Oh, yeah, right.

I can read what everyone else thinks.

Oh well... was I such a discerning person...

And the moment I thought about it, everyone on the spot blew out at the same time... and in all those laughs, I was silent and could only stand up.
