Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

And then for a while, talking to the three of you, Sei, Ouka, and Aki, explaining how to live here... Arnah, who was supposed to be negotiating there, comes along.

"Hmm, looks like there's nothing wrong with this one.

... well, of course, the three of them were strong blue, as I checked earlier. "

As Arnah came along and said something like that... a little further away, I turned my neck and said it back.

"Is strong blue a soul test?

... when did you do the appraisal? I don't think the horns were shining when I met the three of you...? "

"During the winter, I learned magic from Maya, and I began to feel blue or red due to magic changes without lighting up the horns.

It's not perfect yet, and its accuracy is going down... but I'm practicing thinking if I can use it to keep my opponent from noticing it, I'll never get past it.

... well, with the current accuracy, I need to polish my arms even more with the confirmation that the corners are shining again... hmm, even if I try to use them again, there seems to be no problem for all three of them. "

That said, Arner nods after three degrees of glowing the horn... for three people.

"That's another... amazing story."

As I looked back at the sight, Arnah returned the words with an unspeakable subtle expression.

"That's not true... it still doesn't work for Narbants, magic arms don't work for their superiors, and there's a drawback that magic consumption is too large... you'll need to brush your arms more before you can be practical."

"I see... I think it would be useful if it became practical, but don't make it impossible?

And what happened to the deal with Paige?Are we done? "

"Ah, no... Paige de has only been doing business with the Oni clan for a long time, and there is a period when he thinks about soul appraisal, so I decided not to do anything bad and leave the deal to Ellie.

My younger brother, Paige Les, had a lot of gaps... well, not only Ellie, but Hubert joined us, so it wouldn't be a problem if we left it to them. "

Having said that, Arnab starts to look at the pezines in the blink of an eye... and then moves on to the stallions by the carriage to discuss the precautions and food preferences for living in Ilke Village.

After I glanced at the situation of those Arners, I turned my gaze towards them... well, I nodded that it was okay to leave it to them, and proceeded towards them.

----Ellie at the western end of Ilke Village.

Meanwhile, the market opened and the villagers who had been waiting for it arrived... bustling with shopping... Eli, who had put the deal to a close, and Hubert, who had joined Paige, was about to leave the market... hiding behind the carriages of Paige and the others to begin a private conversation.

"Hey, what's the important story going to be?"

As she rubbed her hands and narrowed her eyes... when Paige sliced out her pretty vigilant head... Ellie took out the sealed wax envelope she had hidden... and asked Diaz to write it for her and handed it to Paige.

"This is your father... a letter from the lord here, Duke Diaz Maybadal.

I hope you will give it to His Majesty the Beast King. "

Hand it over politely and courteously... with the utmost respect for Ellie, Paige returns her words calmly, with her eyes wide open.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!That sounds like a tough letter...

... I'm just a merchant... I don't know if I'll get a chance to meet His Majesty the Beast King...

At the very least, if you know the content, you won't have to follow a small handler somehow, right? "

"If that's the case, I'll make the contents easier.

Basically, we want to build a friendly relationship with the beast kingdom. There are cases without blood, there are cases of Peijin-san's merchants, and we want to continue our business in the future.

It also says that he wants to settle the border in order not to cause extra trouble due to friendly relations.

This meadow belongs to us, and from the meadow to your country... well, I hope that this will be settled after a long discussion and until we are satisfied with each other, so please send a diplomat to do so. "

In response to Ellie saying that in a polite tone different from usual while raising her voice... Paige dresses as calm, yet has a strong light in her eyes.

And without missing out on the light, Ellie felt that Paige de was not just a merchant, and kept on saying it without saying it.

"If we can determine the border, we would like to place a checkpoint near it and watch responsibly to prevent unscrupulous people from breaking into it.

Oh, of course, I've taken care of Mr. Paige's business association so far, so I'm going to let him pass freely even if he can.

And at the end of this letter... it says that we are expecting investment from the Beast Kingdom. "

Taking that word, Paige was upset and surprised to the point where it was obvious... he was about to make a sound, but he took a breath through it... and then came back with some kind of thought.

"Well, I was surprised to see the investment again.

If it's not an investment from another country, would Diaz be mad at the great one...?

Why do we have to invest in other countries that might become enemies in the first place?

... no, as a merchant, what if it's profitable?What if it's worth it? I don't think about it though.... "

Then Ellie smiles refreshingly... holding up one hand and pointing to the northern mountain.

"Recently, we have been able to get people who are familiar with the mines, and they have checked and found that there is a considerable amount of iron ore sleeping in those mountains.

Nevertheless, our current situation seems to be like this, so we don't have enough people or budget, and it's very unlikely that we can do mine development...

If we can get investment from you in that way, it depends on what you think.

I think we can repay the investment with the iron ore we dug up... and if the mine is crowded around here, we'll be able to repay it with money.

... investing in other countries can certainly be a problem, but I'm glad you accept that we want to make friendly relationships with you even at that risk.

Anyway, investment... the connection between money and contract can't be cut, it's darker than blood, so the more the economy connects you and us, the more we must get to know each other. "

With a refreshing smile... as Hubert stood right next to her attracts his expression, Ellie once again observes Paige.

Paige de's expression has collapsed completely because he suddenly talks about a lot of information and is trying to deal with them.

Without pretending to be calm, my vigilance has faded so much... that what I'm thinking inside of my face has come to mind.

(After all, this frog is not just a merchant.

I suppose you're a merchant at all... but you're also a detective, or rather, you're a real business...

The telescope, the survey tools, the maps around here... we had enough evidence, but now we can confirm it.

If you're going to play a single merchant, you should talk about profits… about risks and interest, rather than about your father's position or what other countries do.

... it's true that I want to have a friendly relationship, and it's also true that I want to do my best, including the business of the shop... I've taken the trouble to arrange a meeting with Arna-chan, so I want you to understand our intentions and return the favor.)

Looking at such a pegin, Ellie glanced at her side... moving her leg gently to avoid being noticed by the pegin, and elbowing Hubert with her expression drawn at an angle that was invisible from the pegin.

"It's important from here on out, so stay with me or you're the only one doing this."

and spoke with a low and heavy voice that Hubert could only hear.

In response, Hubert… was able to correct his residence and somehow retighten his expression.
