Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

If we all look around the walls of a large caravan, it's a rental, so we look out for a suitable room near the entrance on the ground floor and enter.

Then the carpet was laid on one side, and there were quite good furniture such as tables and sofas... and there was a stone arch in the room that I saw outside.

The stone arch is not so high, I need to bend over a little to get through it, and if I go through the arch, a room with a fireplace with a strange atmosphere appears.

Apparently the arch is a wall or a door that blocks the room… Beds lined up on the other side of the arch, visible from the front between the fireplaces, a cafeteria-like space on the other side of the arch on the right, and a mysterious space on the other side of the arch on the left.

There was no furniture, no carpet, and there was a strange square delimitation made of bricks on the ground... with holes in the corner.

What the hell is this room?And as I leaned my neck... Senai and Eihan rushed to my feet and Emma, who was just sitting on Senai's head, raised her voice.

"Oh, this room is for bathing.

It's also in Eldan's mansion, and I've used it several times.

The system consists of applying a blindfold cloth to the fitting at the arch of the entrance, washing the body with the water drawn from it, and draining the water from the hole there.

The drainage hole is connected to the underground waterway, and it goes straight to the river. "

"That's... a lot of work to do again.

What is the groundwaterway to the river... natural? "

I crouched down to the side of the drainage hole and peeked into what was going on inside the hole, and Emma started explaining about the groundwater channel.

"No, it's artificially made just like the well.

When it comes to wells dug beside, is it easy to understand?From a mountain that serves as a source of water to a place where people live, they dig horizontal holes to make drinking water or water to spray in the fields.

There is a distinction between draining water from the mountain and draining water, and we even devise ways to prevent the drinking water from getting dirty.

What's more, is the power of the wind? There is also a wind tower that uses the special force that occurs when the wind flows. There, it was also in the four corners of the wall here. When that tower receives a strong wind, the wind force winds up in the tower, and the cold wind blows indoors.

When it comes to where the cold wind comes from, it is also a groundwater channel, and the air cooled by the groundwater channel is sucked up by the force of the wind tower.

It's still a cool season, so it looks like the hole connected to the wind tower is blocked, but in the summer, it opens up, and the cold air flows from it to surprisingly cool the interior. "

Wow, I see!

In response to Emma's explanation, I return such words with a smile.

I see, but I didn't understand most of the contents... especially the second half.

But anyway, I knew that in summer this room would cool down because of the wind, so I gave up completely understanding all the explanations.

Then Arnah came along with Francis and his snorting noses.

"Hmm, I see.

Is that why all these weird holes were blocked by carpets and furniture? "

And for some reason, he said that while holding his dagger.

"... why are you holding a dagger?"

And when I asked, Arnab leaned his neck with a strange face and returned the words with a strange expression saying that it would be natural.

"Speaking of Kamalotsu's introduction, I don't know where he's hiding or what kind of tricks he has, but I don't think he'll be able to be alarmed until he checks from inside the furniture to behind the carpet.

Once you fall asleep, you can't get up even if something happens, so it's necessary to make sure you check your sleeping quarters before that happens... it's impossible to let go of the dagger to poke you out when something goes wrong.

You don't have to worry about that in Ilke Village... but if you step outside, you won't be able to be alarmed.

Of course, I told Senai and Eihan to hide the dagger in their pockets, and Emma couldn't use the dagger with a boulder, but she gave it to carry a particularly sturdy needle... hmm?Emma, where did you get that needle? "

While saying so, she looks at Emma, who laughs nicely and smiles at the small book she is always hanging from her shoulder with a leather shoulder strap and slaps it with her little hand.

That means that there is a needle between the page and the page in the book... and Arnab nods forcefully with such an attitude.

Then Arnab and Francis walked with their daggers in their hands... with their vigilant expressions... and followed Arnab and Ayhan with their daggers, who seemed to have lurked in their pockets.

Hmm, someone may be lurking in the room, so be alert that there may be some weird tricks.

I hadn't thought about it in depth because I noticed it somehow the moment I entered the room... well, there are women and children, so should I make sure?

And let them hold their weapons in their pockets for the time of need.

I don't know how to use a Battle Axe like that... I'm going to be able to do that with my bare hands if I have to, but maybe I should still have something.

In that case, the dagger... the dagger...

When I was on the battlefield, Juuha told me to hold it, but I couldn't rely on it, or even if something happened, I couldn't handle it well enough to throw it at the opponent.

Hmm, since you can still handle a hand axe, should you prepare a hand axe of an easy-to-carry size?

And while thinking about that, I also checked my surroundings, and looked around the room while sharpening my nerves... there was something that I somehow felt, so I left the room once following its intuition.

So if you go out into the courtyard, raise your gaze... and look into the corridor at the top of the wall.

Then there are camarotto's men walking around watching the surroundings as they gaze out... and when they gaze up, a pigeon with a larger body than a regular pigeon flies in a circle painting the evening sky of a caravan.

If you look closely, the pigeon is wearing something like clothes... maybe one of the pigeons' guerrillas.

Looks like Camarots... or Eldan is taking a lot of care of our safety.

There are so many splendid walls, corridors and eyes from the sky... it's unlikely that enemies from the outside will do anything.

Even if you're conscious of the inside of the wall, you don't see any funny moves or strange signs just because there are staff who are busy walking around... but if there's anything you dare to feel, it's just a nice scent that seems to be baking spices from anywhere, even for dinner.

I was relieved that you wouldn't have to worry about it, and exhaled a little sigh... and then I tried to get back to my room, and it was time.

First, the pigeons in the sky show their movements as to what they noticed, and then the guards in the corridor also notice something, and they start to look restless.

These movements also heighten my vigilance... but something's wrong with me.

It seems that the movement of the corridor guards is not the movement of those who found the enemy, or that they do not even raise their voice to reward the inner ones for the danger, but they are just upset as an oracle.

Camarotto's men, who sometimes escort Eldan, wonder what's happening again... and when they realize this, Camarotto runs up the stairs leading up the corridor and begins to talk to the sentry.

And immediately he looked in the direction indicated by the sentry... Camarotto began to get upset again to the point of openness, and began to blurt... and soon noticed my gaze, he ran down the stairs with great momentum, rushing towards us.

"Dear Dear Dear Dear! I'm very sorry, but it looks like there was an unexpected visitor...!"

As I rushed over and breathed out, I said something like that back to Camarotto, tilting my neck.

"Who the hell said Camarots was such a surprised visitor?"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's Neha!

Looks like Eldan-sama's mother, Neha's carriage is on its way here...!

He said he wanted to see Death every time something happened before, but I didn't expect him to come up with such a tough plan...

If it were tomorrow, I could spend as much time in that mansion...! "

That's how Camarotto trembles with his palms facing upwards.

Earlier I heard from Eldan that Eldan's mother was a fine man, but at the same time he was too free and lavish and generous, I am convinced that he is as he was told.

"Well, yeah, as long as it's Eldan's mother, there's nothing wrong with us.

We were supposed to meet tomorrow, but today... that's all. "

When I nodded convincingly and said so, Camarots showed a smile that he had never seen before, but he was saved.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll prepare to welcome Neha!"

After that, he ran towards the cafeteria with the yellow door.

I dropped him off... and thought I'd let Arnah and the others know about it, so I went back into the room.
