After a few days, I was busy... when I finished rebuilding my yurts, washing my laundry, rebuilding my vineyards, and sowing my fields... a caravan of pezines came from the west.

"Hi, it's been a long time.

Paige de, we are finally back, and we would like to interrupt you with the items you deserve in spring.

... while Akira was away, my fools seemed to have engaged in a shameful business, and I'm sorry to hear that. "

When I parked the carriage at the western end of the village of Ilk, Paige smiled and said such a thing, showing me a nostalgic face... Me, Arner and Ellie greet each other on their behalf.

Of course, everyone in the village who wants to shop is here, but only when the pezines are ready, and the market is ready... until then, they are waiting backwards and quietly.

As we wait to see if everyone is still there, the face of the armored merchant caravan creates the market, either as a Paige's escort or as a companion... while we gaze at the sight, we begin to talk about something more important than trading in the market.

"By the way, Paige, about those who said they were coming in spring...."

And when I wave, Paige nods that he knows, and then raises his hand... and sends a signal to the carriage behind him.

Then three young people in their late teens in costumes, such as a bright blue cloth that closely resembles Kiko's clothes wrapped around their waist belts, showed up from the carriage and lowered their heads before coming here.

They are all men with yellow hair that closely resembles Kiko's body hair... with long stretched hair tied firmly behind their necks.

Your eyes are thin and sharp, your height is high, but your body is thin... and you're still working hard, and your steps are solid.

"Dear Death, my name is Sei, and I am the eldest son of my mother Kiko.

"My name is also Ouka, and I am the second son.

"My name is Aki, and I'm the third son."

Coming in front of us, the three of us lined up and greeted each other politely... once again, they lowered their heads deeply.

Sei has an ear that looks like a kiko, Ouka has a hand and an arm that looks like a kiko, and Aki has a fluffy tail... I see, while nodding whether this is blood or not, we return the greeting and name it... and then we bump into what we were worried about.

"Are you the only ones who want to move here?

I knew it would be a little more... 5 or 6 people would come...?

Then the sai casually look at each other's faces... because they are the oldest sons, and they return the answers in the form represented by the sai.

"That's right... my mother Kiko liked this village and Death when she bothered me before...

After that, we started putting unusual efforts into educating us that we could not harm Diaz's mood, that we could not be considered an abandoned people, and that we could not expose the shame of the beast kingdom.

The education was also diverse in terms of language, culture, poetry, arts, hands-on games on the board... The relationship that the Paige family had to teach about reading and writing in connection with their business has not produced satisfactory results for most of them, and they have not received a "pass" from their mother.

Thanks to their mother, they were well educated from an early age and passed without any problems... but many of them without blood who lived in harsh environments are not going to be able to do so, so they probably need a little more time. "

"Hmm, I see...

I can get an education here, and Ellie here can handle the business, so I don't have to go that far. "

And when I returned it, the sai and the others shook their faces to the left and right with a painful look, saying, "I won't listen if my mother tells me..."

I decided to convince my sons, Sayid, that I had no choice but to say to Arner and Ellie, "I left the negotiation with Paige to me," and then I walked slowly with Sayid to show them around the village of Ilk.

"This is Yurt, the house here.

I have prepared the yurts of the sails so that they can be built at any time, so if you tell me how many they need, I will prepare them.

That's the meeting place, that's Senai and Ayhan... the fields my daughters manage, and now they're working on the dirt by preparing a new field for planting seedlings.

And that's where I see it... that's where I see it. "

As I slowly advanced through the explanation, and as I introduced Sei to the villagers who were passing by... Sei stopped and raised his hand small and said, "I have a question..."

"What? Do you mind if I ask you anything?

"... why are there so many large and small trees built?

"Hmm? Oh, that's the result of everyone's physical fitness.

With the size of the dogs' bodies, it would be difficult to get them to use the same pigeons that we use... after that, the numbers simply grew, so we increased the number so that we didn't have to wait in order.

Sei and I are almost the same size, so I don't think there's a problem with her... but if there's any inconvenience in life, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll be able to improve the amenities. "

When I returned it, Sei, Ouka and Aki silenced with a slightly surprising expression... I wondered at the attitude of the three of them, but looked towards the warehouse without further questions.

In front of the warehouse, there were two carriages that had been cared for by painting the axles with candles beforehand... The smaller of them, the carriage that would be used by the sai, raised his voice while touching.

"This is the carriage that Sei and the others are going to use.

Horses pulling carriages are scheduled to arrive in succession... well, six of them will arrive, so even if you let them rest and go on a journey, there won't be enough.

For the time being, you will learn how to take care of horses, how to ride horses, how to handle carriages... and also learn about maia cloth and maia.

When I'm finished studying, I'm going to have Ellie travel to and from neighboring territories and Sei's country with me to conduct a business trip.

I'm going to pay you what you earn... and I want Ellie to tell me all the details.

Oh, yeah, we're going on a trip to the neighborhood in a little while, and we're going to have Say come with us then.

Maybe Ellie would like to introduce her to some of the merchants she connected to during the winter... and then she'll know how to do business there. "

Then, first, Ouka and Aki break their faces... and they look like they're biting their teeth or putting up with something.

Sei also began to break his expression... so Ouka and Aki rushed out, and instead of running to the carriage, he started to climb up to the podium and touch the wheels.

"Oh, this is our... this is our carriage!

"Oh, look at this wheel... it's not distorted, it's splendid."

Let me play a smile while I talk about it... how happy are you to get a carriage? Ouka and Aki start to hang out... Sei looks like she's mixed up there, and then somehow she catches up with that feeling, corrects the residence, and throws a word while looking straight at me.

"Um... Dear Diaz.

Can you lend yourself such a fine carriage and horse, even though we haven't met yet?

... well, don't you have any idea?Don't they take these and run away?and..... "

Slightly distressed by the words, I... "Mmm" roared, tilted my neck, and then returned the words.

"If you say such a thing, you can't leave something to someone.

... if that happens, you'll have a lot of trouble and you'll be sorry... well, I don't think Kiko's sons would do that, and I'm going to trust you. "

Sei shook his shoulders full of what he thought in response to those words.

I wonder why I said such a thing as I watched the whole thing, and as I tilted my neck even further... one day the owl came to the side and said a small voice.

"Dear Diaz, we... no, we've been told that we lost blood because we did bad things in our previous lives since we were born, and that lies and thieves are the beginning of no blood.

Not only was I told, but I was treated like a thief even though I didn't do anything... even though I was suspected, despised and bullied.

That's why... I'm not used to people telling me to do something or lend me something.

... so oniichan is a bit impressed, I think it will calm you down a little bit, so please wait for him. "

Then the ray twitched the big ear on his head and said, "Ouka!Don't say anything extra!!"and shouted loudly.

When he heard that voice, Ouka said, "Hey, did you forget it was Hell's ear!?"I didn't know what to say, but I ran away... and when I tried to chase it, Sei noticed that I was staring at it with a smile, rushed to correct my residence and said," Please give me a moment "... and ran under the escaped owl with great momentum.
