Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

- - Melangal Erie, the city of western Marhati territory.

Through the snowfields into the woods, replacing the soli plates with wheels through the woods... That's how I got there. Melangal was surrounded by vibrancy and enthusiasm that didn't make me think so, even though it was winter.

Countless people crossed the streets lined with stone houses, cheering and screaming about whether business was going on there or not, and people carrying loads and pulling cars couldn't wait.

Compared to Berngal in the east, which is the gateway from other cities and the center of the deal, there were few loads and fewer people… the vibrancy unleashed by the people, or the overflowing smile, had created more buzz than that.

"I think it was a little quieter when I came here before... it's really amazing.

Even in winter, it's so busy... now that I can't farm, is that why I'm working in the city...?

I know it's warmer than that... but it's like a different world. "

Ellie gets off the carrier and whines about that as she pulls her luggage with the dogs.

Around here with lots of beasts, I was thinking it wouldn't be a good idea to just let the dogs do that... apparently that was just a worry.

If you look at the luggage cars that go to the city, there are people who look like they are proud of their power. They are pulling the luggage for fun, and the light-hearted species of their little bodies are managing their loads on the carriage... each exercising their power and each other in their own area of expertise.

The sight of the beast man and the beast man, or the beast man and the human race sharing and cooperating in that way, seems to be the natural sight around here... it's not just about the luggage car, it's also the sight you can see there in the city... Ellie sighs a small sigh when she sees those sights.

"When I used to go by, I kept thinking about your father and I didn't realize it, but this is the kind of city this is.

It won't be that long since Mr. Eldan's reign began, it's amazing.

...... If this sight can nevertheless be created, how could it not have created a place for the dogs to play?

Such honest, working children... "

And when Ellie said that and glanced at the Masti clans at her feet, the Masti clans, who noticed their gaze, tilted their necks as they waved their tails and said, "Can I help you?," he asks with his expression.

"Yeah, it's nothing.

... I know you're tired of this long journey, but would you just hang out a little longer?

Because I'm going to look for inns that look good if I see some good stores, and gather information about the stores I've seen there.

That's my area of expertise, and this is where I come from.

We have to do our best not to waste the hard work of you and me bringing the shipment so far...!

In response to Ellie's words, the dogs nod forcefully enough to seem a little exaggerated, and start pulling their luggage cars as they wave their tails.

"Really honest and a worker...... but all the dogs working around here are big kids...... no wonder"

"Master Eldan is distressed about that too... it's something that doesn't work for some reason...

It's up to me to ask Dear Diaz a trick around here next time. "

Such a voice returns to Ellie's grunt, which is only a solitary speech, not intended for someone else... Ellie, who is heartily surprised but somehow succeeds in pretending to be calm, turns her gaze back to that person, who seems to have come to the side at some point.

"... Hello, Mr. Camarotts.

I didn't know you were going to face each other by chance in this place...... are you in the middle of a walk?

Camarotz then smiles and returns his words after all the greeting replies and a respectful thank you.

"No, we've got information that Master Ellie has been visited, so it's up to Eldan to pick you up at his behest.

Please accompany us if you like, as we welcome you at the mansion and prepare your room. "

"If it's an invitation from the lord, I'd be happy to interrupt... I'd like to get ready under the business talks first, as this is the purpose of the business talks..."

"If that's the case, I hope you'll come to the mansion.

If you are Eldan, you will know everything about the products handled by the city's Chambers of Commerce, their creditworthiness and the size of their funds. "

Ellie whines in her heart (did she come...) with a refreshing smile back at such Camarotz's words.

As for Ellie, who is supposed to gather information with her own eyes and ears on her own feet, the method of obtaining such information was not the preferred one... I can't even stand up to it.

I guess we can also be trusted because we found ourselves so quickly about the quality of that information and so on... I wondered if I had any choice. Again, Ellie sighed inside,

"Thank you, thank you for your help"

Returns the words.

Camarotts then smiled and nodded, then stood in front of the luggage, walking dignified through the middle of the street… leading the Ellies to a large marbled mansion at the end of the street.

If you're a resident of this city, I guess no one knows Camarotts face, the people who go the way give way to Camarotts without saying anything... and while doing so throw a curious glance at Ellie.

(I made an unexpected bad impression, but when this happens, I can't help it anymore... Let's reopen it.

If you sell your face with an attitude that you are a merchant, you will be connected to the future.

I kept my makeup fixed before I went into the city... come on, love my beauty)

With that in mind, Ellie follows Camarotts as she twists her winter clothes much like Arner's.

Wearing a hat slightly deeper into the eyes, some stuffing around the chest, and doing so in a sophisticated manner, Ellie's appearance would have seemed to belong to a beautiful woman if she had normally seen it... but the nosy beasts were sniffing Ellie's gender apart, and the reason for her curious gaze was there in fact... Ellie couldn't possibly have realized that was the reason, but she was just delighted with those gazes and deepening her complacency.
