Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

Senai and Aihan returned to the wilderness... and entrusted the care of the horses to the Eiseter family. Then they began to take a nap while hugging Maea who was sunbathing in the square. If they slept like that, they would have a terrible night sweat. When they were worried, Aima, who had written a report on Senai's side, came to us with it.

When I received it...... while sitting deeply on the wooden chair, I read the report that I had encountered a talking lizard that closely resembled a mahamudoki, and Aima, who stood on the table in front of me, tilted her neck and called out.

"Um... it's a different matter from the report, but what was Diaz doing here?"

Lining up wooden chairs and desks... what are those dogs doing over there? "

That said, in the direction that Aima pointed, there was a figure of the Shep family on the table facing each other, and it seemed like they were facing each other in a two-on-two confrontation.

"Oh, I was just practicing my trial... I tried to create a place like that based on the trial I was undergoing a long time ago."

There is a civil servant who advises the guilty side, the questioned side, and each side, and discusses whether the sin is a fact and how much punishment is appropriate.

And the king who saw it... it's not like I'm the lord, but it's like I'm going to make a verdict and execute the punishment.

I heard from Hubert that the most important thing in the Lord's work is to maintain security... to fight off bandits, to try and execute sentences, so I thought I'd practice. "

When I returned it, Aima leaned her neck even more heavily... and strangely returned the bad word of her tooth.

"... well, yes, I know what you're trying to say, but... mmh.

... erm, this is about trial practice, but what kind of case is this supposed to be? "

"Irku Village has never had a crime like this, so the culprit dared... I had the young man on the right play a trick, and the young man on the left sued me as the victim of the trick."

I don't even know the content of the prank, so I feel like I'm going to ask it at this trial.

I'm trying to tell a good lie... but since the Dog Human Clan is real, it might just be a little bit unsettling to tell a proper lie. "

"Hah... I see.

...... just one more question. Are Arnault, Ben, Hubert, Maya, Goldia and the others absent? "

“Yeah, we're all going out to the reception or the customs, and we should be back in a little bit.”

"I see... is that so? There was no one to advise me..."

Then I will do it, but since the soul appraisal magic trial in our territory will use soul appraisal, it is not necessary to imitate the general trial of the Kingdom.

If you use the soul appraisal while keeping a close eye on the flow of magic power, you'll never be able to tell a lie... that's the end of the judgment as to whether you really committed a crime, right? "

When I hear that word, I open my mouth and can't say anything.

That's right, there was a soul appraisal that you could tell if you lied to me... When you think about it, the Shep family members who were practicing at the trial made similar faces... They all kept making such faces for a long time.

Then Aima looked around at our faces like that... and continued to speak with her half-eyed eyes.

"Well... yes, it's not bad in itself to get used to a royal trial, so it's better to make a large tour seat when everyone is there."

Doing so will help you all know what a trial looks like, and if you know what happens when you dye your hands on a crime, it will also lead to a crime deterrent...

As for the punishment to be imposed later, I think that it should not be decided by Mr. Diaz's discretion, but after thorough consultation with the representatives, we should check with civil servant Hubert what the laws of the Kingdom are and what the past jurisprudence is.

... that seems like a huge mental burden for Diaz to do alone. "

As I mumbled, "I see," I was impressed... Aima continued to speak with a slightly serious, hard face.

"... even if you punish me, I don't think you can impose it on someone without doing it yourself."

I don't think you have to do all that alone to get a verdict and even a punishment, Diaz... there are many different people than a year ago, so I think it's also a good idea to split the roles. ”

When I receive those words, I think about what they mean... and then return the words.

"I appreciate you worrying about me, but I don't think there's a problem because I've done it several times during the war."

... it's usually better to keep your eyes peeled for lords, and you don't want to press only that part on people, because you don't feel well... I'd better do it.

... well, I guess the best way to prevent crime is to avoid doing that kind of thing. "

And then Aima thought about it again... and after a while, she put her strength into it and raised her voice clearly.

"If that is the case, we will make a commitment to curb crime."

I talked to the head of the demon tribe, and hired 3 or 4 demon tribesmen to join them, or to welcome them as a local.

If the demons were in the village, that would deter them from committing crimes... We should prepare someone who can move even when Arnagh is busy with housework.

With Klaus and his team stationed at the East-West border crossing... it should be almost impossible for criminals to enter if they can use both soul appraisal and life-sensing magic.

... by the way, looking for Joe's daughters-in-law was one of the challenges, wasn't it? If you don't like it over there, you may be able to proceed in that direction. ”

"... oh, that's true, isn't it?"

In response to Aima's efforts, as I was troubled, the scapegoat, victim, and official Schepp's family, who were quietly watching without saying anything, clapped Toteten and the wooden desk in front of them with their small hands and shouted out.

“I think it's very good to get along with everyone!”

"It's important! It's important for the family! Joe and the others need it too!"

You can get even closer to the demon race!

"We love you, Alner!" I also like Lord Arnault's family! That's why I'm so happy! "

And Aima was like, "Oh, my God."

"There are going to be a lot of people coming in... there are going to be a lot of bad guys coming in, and I think we should proceed with this solution to perfect the protection of the border."

Let's discuss and pack up the plan so that the demon tribe will be happy... and then take it over there. "

And you keep saying the words.

I nodded as I said, "I understand."... The Shep clan jumped up in a place that was supposed to be a makeshift court with a completely different purpose... and cheered cheerfully and cheerfully.

"... if you're a lizard, there's nothing we can do about it like the Maiamodoki. Let's wait until the trial is over with the Demon Clan... let's proceed with the discussion with the Demon Clan."

And when I said that, the Shepps rushed out like they had forgotten about the pranks... and ran all over the village to let everyone know the decision I had just made.
