Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

They say there are a few rules that must be followed to prepare the ghosts for the winter.

To start when a migratory bird tells of the fall shows up.

Be careful not to get your hands on females when hunting.

Never engage in materials or prey with other houses.

The leaves are to be made from hard grass growing far from the village, and also not too much more than necessary...... etc.

And earlier, the migratory bird showed up, so Arner pulled out a pre-prepared cage to start preparing for the winter, which seems to be what happened.

"Winter preparations will consist mainly of picking up rock salt in the southern wilderness, making leaves and hunting in the meadows, and collecting materials and food in the woods.

If you leave the wilderness rock salt pickup to the dogs, it won't be a problem, because it's an easy job you've already done several times.

Leaving the leaf making and hunting to Klaus would be fine, because they seem to remember both.

But winter preparation in the woods requires knowledge of whether the food is poisonous or not, and it's a troublesome job to remember the detailed rules, you can't leave it to people.

Fortunately, Senay and Aihan seem motivated, and Diaz has just the right axe to break a tree... which is why we're in charge of the woods "

That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna hand you the backpack, Arner.

It contains tall leather boots that seem to be for walking in the woods, long leather gloves to the elbows, a cape of hooded leather and the tools needed to collect hemp bags and knives, and the Senays who received the cages quickly start wearing them.

"Uh... are we going to go to the woods every day from now on?

Whatever happens to nearby ghost villages, I'm worried about François, who's about to give birth... "

When I say that as I examine the contents of the cage, Arner returns the words in a sarcastic manner.

"You don't have to worry about that.

Uncle Ben's doing great. "

"Your uncle...?

"Oh, he's a good advisor not only to François, but also to the dogs who are close to giving birth, or he's a good talker.

They seem to be relieving their anxiety by telling them about the dignity of giving birth, the mindset during childbirth, parenting tricks, and all kinds of fables related to childbirth… I was completely surprised to see Maire's near-childbirth calm down so far. "

With that said, Arner cuts his words once and turns his expression to Uncle Ben's impression of Yurt before continuing his words.

"We also get advice from elderly people like my mother and grandmother, but that's totally different from Uncle Ben's.

Should I say the words have power, or should I say they have a good mouth by the time they are unusual?

… the atmosphere, the tricks, and even the breath seem magical. "

I'm afraid of the darkness that strikes me at night, I'm afraid of the disasters that strike me suddenly, I'm afraid of the unpredictable future.

Is it the work of priests who work in the temple to remove from the hearts of people the horrors that cannot be helped by the power of such people, and the demonstration of the main authority of your uncle, who has been a priest for a long time?

"I see... if that's the case, shall I leave Francois to your uncle?

If you need anything, we're going back to the village.

that word back as I nodded, Arner said,

"Oh, that's for sure.

If there's anything in the village, don't worry, the dogs are supposed to reward you as soon as possible.

And childbirth is important, but winter preparedness is also important... one thing you can never neglect!

Diaz hastened to get the battle axe too, and if the battle axe is over, he will leave soon!

And that's what I say, I break up the conversation, and I start getting myself together.

That's how I was rushed by Arner, taking the battle axe on my shoulder, carrying the cage… I went to the woods with Arner and the others once I showed my face under François and took confirmation that I had no problem going out.

"In the woods is a treasure trove of food, but also a treasure trove of poison.

Poisonous nuts, mushrooms, poisonous grass, poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, poisonous monsters.

So collecting in the woods. How come before this, just walking requires a lot of attention, and you have to remember the rules well... I should... "

A little after going into the woods, Arner mouths those words with a voice that looks like he's bogged down.

What a bitter look Arner has at the end of his gaze, the Senays jumping around the woods dangerously and lightly... he thinks there's a lot going on between the two of them who have been able to do that without having to listen to Arner.

"... no, we're not just talking about those two, are we?

I think Diaz is getting used to it. "

I found and picked mushrooms with a delicious looking brown umbrella, cut the bug-eating area off with a knife and paid for the garbage, and that's what they said when I threw them in the cage, and I said, "Yeah?" and lean his neck.

"Really...?

... Well, there are so many forests in the eastern part of the kingdom, when I was an orphan and during the war, I guess I was somehow taken care of for the food in the woods.

Yeah, when it comes to discerning if it's poisonous or not, I want you to feel safe there because I don't get my hands on anything other than what I know is safe for sure "

That being said, picking up the second mushroom and cutting off the insect eating area, as earlier, Arner peeks into it in such a way as to be afraid of its appearance.

"... in the first place, I can't hide my surprise at the fact that I'm about to eat mushrooms?

There was no such thing as a mushroom without poison... "

"Hmm...?

... Oh, and with that said, you never had mushrooms in Arner's cooking.

Mushrooms can be baked or boiled, they can be dried and made into preserved foods, so it's not bad.

Maybe I didn't even have the idea of eating because I don't see much in the meadows, but there are quite a few edible mushrooms growing in the woods, so let's pick as many as we can. "

And when I say that, Arner even activates the magic of the soul appraisal... and then he snorts like reluctantly, really reluctantly.

against Arner, who then tried to reach for the mushrooms that were growing in the near field, when I

"Ah, the mushroom is poisonous.

It's the same brown, very similar, but you're poisonous, and you should remember that this umbrella is a mushroom that you can eat if it's plump. "

And when I spoke... Arner had a sinister, bitter look that I had never seen before.
