Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

― ― ― ― ― Earner at a workshop in Sekiwa

(Hopefully you can finish the troubles quickly......)

With that in mind, he tied his thinned gray hair behind his neck and wore a skinned apron. It was Senai and Aihan who were the lords and daughters of this realm.

Always happy, always smiling, always pleasantly calling out to craftsmen like myself, and having a pleasant mood just by looking at their figure... but today's expression is not a smile, it seems that they are dissatisfied by inflating their cheeks a little... just because they don't smile, they don't feel pleasant...

Sitting tightly in the corner of the workshop with her cheeks inflated, they were surrounded by dogs who worried about them. The reason for that was the pedestrians across the border.

I should have come to visit my beloved forest with relatives I haven't seen in a long time, but it just so happens that the pedestrian who came at the same time is suspicious... A relative who should have come to visit with me said that he recognized the pedestrian's face, so I decided to prioritize your treatment... and I'll have time to spare until it's over...

(For Senai and Aihan, the Spring Forest seems to be a special place...

The vitality accumulated during the winter makes the forest trees shine, and there are a lot of medicinal herbs full of power that can only be picked now... every day I run around happily...

"I was supposed to enjoy the forest with those two relatives, but as soon as I arrived on the spot, I put you in custody..."

It's something I can put up with without telling you a lot.....)

It seemed that he wasn't the only one who was worried about Senai and the others like that. Some of them were working in the same way, and they looked very similar to him... with a sympathetic gaze on Senai and the others.

Most of the craftsmen who come to work here are those recognized by Erdan, the lord of the Mahathi Realm.

Naturally, background checks were conducted even beforehand to teach politeness so as not to do anything rude in the neighboring territory... I was told not to look at him like that at that time... but everyone, including him, was worried and worried about Senai and turned to look at him.

"--We will first confirm what kind of products are available before commerce--"

That's how they gazed at Senai and the others, and heard such a voice leaking from beyond the customs gate.

The voice of the woman who said she was a relative of Senai... The pedestrian's face was glanced at from the top of the mug, and when she dealt with it, she instantly responded. When the voice of the woman who started to act, Senai and Aihan's ears twitched and moved... The swollen cheeks shrank and changed into a look that was interested in your conversation.

(I don't see much ears, but there must be some kind of beastman's blood in it.

And it's supposed to sound better than ours... and from the look on your face, you can hear the conversation on the other side.)

As a human tribe that is nothing, he can't tell which beast he is, and he can't clearly hear the conversation behind the gate.

But Senai and the others were able to do it... I'm sure the blood of a good-hearted beast such as a rabbit...

...... and the craftsman who thought about it quit his thoughts and shook his face strongly to the left and right.

Of course, there is nothing else to say about Senai and the others, and prying is strictly forbidden by Eldan, and I can't say that the thoughts I was doing now are prying.

Safe, good payment, you can stay in a good dormitory and eat a delicious meal... If you do it well, you must be remembered by the lord and be able to do a good job in the future... You shouldn't imitate such a good opportunity or a good job, even if it's in your heart.

Thinking like that, the craftsman is trying to concentrate on the work in front of him, and you can hear the conversation from the other side of the gate.

"No matter what you say, we will check the product."

In the first place, this is the Sekiguchi...

― ― Just because you checked the product, doesn't mean that the value of the product will drop ― ―.

― ― ― In the first place, the merchants in our territory are the art-warriors' chambers that you should also know, if you don't have the product power to go beyond ― ―

Artwork!? Is that monster Ellie here?!

A man thought to be a pedestrian in the voice of a woman returned a loud voice that seemed close to an angry voice, and when he heard the voice, Senai and Aihan dyed their cheeks red and caught their eyebrows.

Moreover, it inflated my cheeks... and made me look so angry.

It was the same for the surrounding Dogmen, who squealed with wrinkles on their nose bridge... and the man raised his voice even louder as if to stir up the anger of Senai.

A Guild Leader is a Guild Merchant!? I heard the guild was ahead of the game, but it's getting in there!?

"You guys are executives, aren't you?!"

... hey, hey, hey! No way!Are you the evil Issa!? '

When the merchant raised his voice like that... some other men, thought to be the merchant's guards, began to stir.

The guards and her face seemed to know those two names without even knowing them... and they started talking about why she was called that.

He was an excellent wizard, to put it mildly.

However, I didn't use a proper magic method.

The most famous is the magic that bothers me about what is good to say magic, like grabbing the grains of sand and firing them with magic power... The grains of sand that are fired more forcefully and sharply than bows and arrows seem to pierce their skin and clothes relentlessly, and if it is something that enters their eyes, there is even a risk of blindness.

With that kind of magic, I let off my fists and kicks...... even during such an attack, I fired grains of sand.

They only fly very small grains of sand, so they don't consume a lot of magic power, and they use the sand that's all over them as their weapons, so they won't run out of weapons.

If there is a sword or knife nearby, they will use it, if there is gravel, they will fire gravel... It seems that the number of people who were defeated in a battle method that can only be described as vicious because they were jealous of the guild will be considerable even if the guards know.

(...... by the way, you've heard such a story somewhere before...

Who trained the merchants who belonged to the guild, and everyone was good at fighting......)

While listening to the guards, the craftsman remembers that.

The merchants themselves are good at fighting, and by hiring more mercenaries throughout the guild, they serve as escorts... Mercenaries are also prioritizing requests from the guild because they can expect a steady income...

Few bandits attack such guild carriages, and even if they do, it's Kannoyama that gets knocked back... that's why the goods arrived safely.

It was a big weapon to ensure that the goods would arrive, and everyone wanted to deal with the guild.

The guild will gain its current position... and the trade partner that the guild is looking for...

"Our guild seeks business partners only legitimate merchants and customers who can do decent business.

And the same is true of this territory of Me 'a Badal. If you are a legitimate merchant, we welcome you in our guild and in the territory of Me 'a Badal.

That's exactly what we're building right now, and this customs post is also a facility to protect those people --- "

It was a sharp voice. It was a powerful word.

Even though it separated the gates, it was a word that I could clearly hear... and it also included the kindness to treat seemingly unreasonable pedestrians.

While all the craftsmen stopped working and listened to their voices... the other pedestrian started to blabber about where they were angry at those words.

That voice was really terrible and I couldn't bear to hear it...... As I continued to walk around, the monsters and Sennais who were angry at being called vicious finally began to act as if they had reached the limit of patience.

First, pick up the branches that are falling everywhere.

Then, they folded and crushed into small pieces of wood, slowly approaching the Sekiguchi.

In that case, the small door at the bottom of the Sekiguchi...... was built with all the skill the craftsmen could to get closer to the hidden door for the dog human race.

The concealed door was devised so that it would be difficult to find if there was a door there, and it was devised so that it would be difficult to open from there... it was made to be large enough to allow the small dogs to pass through.

The smallness of the door was such that the hungry Senai and the craftsmen could barely get past it, and the craftsmen were so obvious that they were going to go from there to there. The hungry Senai and the craftsmen opened the door quietly in front of the door, peered in from there, found the opponent, and pushed out the two hands holding the wood chip a little... and began to put magic power in both hands.

The moment he saw them, the craftsman guessed.

The guards are trying to imitate the magic of Issa they were talking about earlier.

I don't know why they chose wood chips instead of grains of sand, but the craftsman, convinced by their stance and magic, rushes under them in a hurry to stop them.

You can leave that to adults, but you can't leave it to anger to hurt others.

And such words were about to leak out of the craftsman's mouth...... At that time, Klaus, the master of this pass who seemed to have noticed the movement of the two, slammed the ground hard with a spear collision in his hand.

It was a deterrent to Senai, and a signal to the Dog Human Clan that was waiting around...... The Dog Human Clan immediately raised their voice as soon as they received the signal.

Some people bark sharply, howl, howl, and others kick hard the ground so that they can hear them.

The voice came not only from the Sekigo, but also from all over the forest... and Klaus' will to move also told me that the pedestrians were firmly surrounding them... I don't know if they realized it was the dogs or the wolves, but anyway, the pedestrians were in a great panic when they knew that there was someone who would move as Klaus wanted them to.

He became in a great panic and raised his voice like a scream... then the guards rushed back to his heels and started running the carriage in a hurry, manipulating the reins.

The sound of footsteps, hooves and wheels moving away... when the dogs stop barking, the surrounding area of the Sekiguchi recovers the daily sound of the roar of the insects of the trees.

Looks like you made it.

It didn't seem to be a problem.

When the craftsman thought about it, he let out a sigh of relief... Senai and Aihan were unhappy that they could not execute the prank, and they began to rage with their feet in a peeking position across the hidden window.

"Well, don't do that, you'll get your clothes and knees dirty..."

Looking at the two of them, the craftsman said such a voice...... as gently and quietly as possible, Senai and the others glanced at the craftsman...... and honestly lifted their voices at the same time as the "yeees", stopping them from crushing their legs.

When the craftsmen were relieved by the honesty of the two noble ladies who listened to the attention of the common people... somehow, the sound of the carriage wheels could be heard from behind the gate.

It was for a moment that the craftsman thought, "I should have just left, but why did I come back?"

(No, no, it wasn't the carriage.

The footsteps of the guards were obviously high... and the wheels were loud, the carriages were heavy, and the wheels were loud.

...... Did you come to see another customer by mistake......?)

At the same time, Klaus said hello to the owner of the carriage and the guards...... The craftsman began to greet politely, and apparently noticed that a different customer had arrived. The craftsman rushed to Senai and Aihan again...... I thought it would be better to return the two dirty clothes to the house before the guests passed by, so I called out a small voice that only the two of them could hear.

"When you get home, shouldn't you tell your father and mother that you have an important guest?"

If you two do that, I'm sure your parents will be happy. "

In response to the craftsman's words, Senai and Aihan... raised their faces and gave a bright smile, then nodded heavily towards the craftsman... and then ran to the bottom of the horse, paying attention to the dirt on their clothes.
