Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

― ― ― Hubert walking slowly along the streets that stretch to the west

A few days after the feast to celebrate the Earth Dragon Crusade... With summer-like sunshine pouring in and a refreshing breeze blowing away the heat, Hubert, the only civil servant in Maabadal territory, was slowly walking down the street to the west that had just been completed, shaking a straw hat on his head.

From the east to the village of Irk, the Erdan-led road was temporarily constructed, and it is said that the road will be laid with fine cobblestones.

And the road from Irku Village to West Sekiguchi seems to have been completed halfway to today... Hubert himself was there to check on the state of the facilities that he had been able to make and to confirm the status of the facilities that had been made available in various places.

Both Diaz and the Dong people are serious and honest, and they have a character that is not particularly difficult to work with. However, if it is true, it is unlikely that they will properly complete the "Is this the right thing to record"?... Check the area, record it thoroughly, and create documents if necessary... It was Hubert's job recently to make up for the lack of Diaz and the others in this way.

On Hubert's side, Ezerbald and his wives, who had become strangely acquainted with each other, and several young people from the Sengui clan... Hubert, while talking to them, proceeded to write down the charcoal pieces on the paper bundle at hand.

"To see the direction, it's going straight west without warping... I think I can put it on the map after I finish measuring the width."

It rained quite a bit yesterday, but I wonder if the drainage is good, and it's clean and dry... it looks like it will last for a long time.

We need to go a little further, and when we're done checking the area, we need to head over to the underground caches... and keep track of how much ice and food is stored there.

Until today, there will be melted ice, there will be damaged food, and... I can't check it every day because I miss the cool air, but I still have to check it regularly. "

Meh ~, Mehn, Mehn, Mehn?

Ezerbald returns the words of Hubert's soliloquy, while Hubert gazes back at Ezerbald at his feet.

"Huh? You can't check it without going inside with magic?" Well, first of all, I'm not good at magic.

Besides, I've never heard of magic that is so convenient and likely to be used for crime... and when I look at Lord Arnault, I think I'm mistaken that it's all very convenient and incredible, but... the magic used by common wizards is not that much. "

Mehn?

"Well, for example, even if there was this magic that could throw a flame... it would be good to use a flint stone or transfer fire with a torch if you just want to light a fire. It would be subtle to say that it would be worthwhile to cast a long spell and consume magic power."

It's very difficult to burn people and monsters without fuel even if you use it in battle... it doesn't work well inside. "

"Meow, meow, meow."

"Yeah, well, firepower like a fire wand can't be produced by a wizard."

Even though it's out of common sense... it seems that Diaz is using it for just burning. "

Me-me-me-me!

"I see... the clan can use magic without leakage, and I don't think it's a problem if you think that the demon tribe is special and the general wizard is not that special."

It's extremely rare for humans to have an incredible number of wizards... they are very valuable, so in most cases they are protected by the royal castle, and they use magic and magic research for the country. "

And when Hubert and the others continued such a conversation, there was a sudden rattling noise, and the Senzi family who were walking slowly with a slightly distracted attitude took a surprised position.

I was calm, but I didn't stop being alarmed, and I was alert enough to notice when someone approached me, but the sound was heard from the grass on the side of the street... and Hubert was pressed to hold it against Diaz, trying to reach for the small sword that was hanging on his waist... once again, there was a loud clatter, like a maor, not a maor, and a presence very similar to a maor came out of the grass.

"Meamodoki...!"

Hubert looks at it and raises his voice.

The mysterious existence that Diaz and the others saw, something that Diaz and the others called a tremendous power.

Indeed, this is Mae Mokki. When Hubert felt strangely convinced, Mae Mokki slowly opened his mouth.

"It's so innocent of you to call me that."

Well, it's better than that guy just not trying to catch him all of a sudden...

... well, this is a reward from my lord. This road is so wild and depressing, but I will appreciate the attitude of indispensable consideration for my children, the crusade of the two dragons, and the surrounding area.

... this time I'm not going to give it to you directly... so I'm going to take a closer look from here, around the north and south, and around the villages of you guys. "

What a strange sound the voice made.

I can't understand some of the words... I can't understand what the sound is, but I can't understand what the word is, so I unintentionally get dizzy... If Hubert can't reply because of the dizziness, Maeamodoki will eventually disappear... The Senggi clan, who were in a state of confrontation, raised their jaws and took a threatening position to protect their wife, and Ezerbalt was suddenly confused by the fact that it disappeared and looked around.

"... ah, that's Maiamodoki..."

"That's Sanji Bunny and Oriharkon..."

But what is it that you want me to observe, not the object...? "

Hubert looked around like Ezerbald and the others with such a loud voice...... he was reluctant, but in order to confirm, he left the street and went north.

Outside the street, there is a meadow with lush grass...... In the summer sunshine, every grass grows vigorously and straight... the usual sight of the meadow of Ma 'abadal is spread out.

Even if he told me to observe, what exactly should I do around here... If you don't explain in more detail, I'll be walking around the meadow like this, and Hubert started to feel a little desperate...

A stretch of small flowers that you've never seen before enters your sight.

It was obviously not a grass to be seen around here.

The grass around here can't bloom, just straighten the grass.

Even so, there were small white flowers in the area... Hubert was surprised and puzzled that it was a flower he had never seen before... Still, his curiosity had won, and he was approaching the flower with a rushing momentum.

"... hm? This flower... the part I thought was a petal turned into a white grass leaf."

Then, the flowers are like the grains in the center of this small flower... I've seen flowers like this flower or flower like grass in the atlas... "

As Hubert approached the grass, he broke his knee, grabbed his face, and raised his voice like that... As Hubert was observing, Ezerbald rushed in, thrusting his face towards the whole area.

And he moved his mouth and his mouth, and ate the flower-like grass with tremendous force. And his wives began to eat the grass in the same way in the form that followed Ezerbald.

Hubert was surprised by the state of Mare's people, and the Senggi clan, who was interested in whether it was such a delicious grass, snorted their noses close to the grass... and then ate themselves into the grass.

Then,

"Eh, this grass is delicious!"

And one of the young people shouted.

"Ah, really, because I didn't pass the fire, it smells blue, but it smells good and is delicious!"

Continuing, another speaks up.

Meow!! Meow! Meow!!

And I've never eaten a grass like Ezerbald! Raise your voice with energy and strength.

Hubert picked the grass and mouthed it until it seemed that he had lost his curiosity after hearing those voices.....

"... oh, it's really delicious, it's blue and bitter, and it tastes like grass, but it smells so good... that's all I can think of as delicious..."

Such herbs existed in the world... oh, no, this is a gift?

And this also has a medicinal effect like Sanji Bunny...? No, I don't think there was any explanation for that like Sanji Bunny..... "

That's what I'm saying.

Then Hubert picked the grass again and leaned his neck at it...... As Ezerbald and the others continued to eat the grass with fierce force, he kept bothering his mind about what the grass meant.
