"Here it comes! It's a caravan!"

"Report to Van! Hurry!"

A member of the Knights of SEAT who discovers multiple carriages appearing far from the walls and sends a message immediately.

It is considerably wider than it was originally built, and there are many buildings in the village of Seato. A message runs on horses.

There was a Van who happened to be outside in front of the lord's building.

I blinked my eyes for a moment, but soon Van also noticed the desperate expression of the message.

"Coming!?"

"Here it comes! It's a caravan!"

"Alright, report to the Bellango Chamber of Commerce!And prepare the barista! Let's get some catapults! "

Van gave the order and Camsin and Till jumped up and were surprised.

Van!?

"Are you going to attack the caravan!?"

Van nodded with a mysterious face to the two people whose faces turned pale.

"There was no investigator from the Commercial Guild.In that case... that's not how it works, right? "

She laughed as if Van was in trouble.

"I don't think it would be misleading to disclose everything from the beginning, rather than hiding it poorly.My village's proud military secrets are baristas and catapults, so show their power and prove they're hunting big beasts. "

After hearing that explanation, Camsin and Till gently stroked down their chest.

"There's been a lot of war lately.I wonder if Van has turned into a fighter madman.... "

"I was relieved by the usual Van."

Van's cheeks convulse at those two words.

"... I have a lot to say, but now it's important to investigate the Commercial Guild. I'm on my way."

Van spearheaded with a sigh and took the two of them to the investigation team.

[Van]

Sometimes I forget that I am noble.Most of the time, I was busy as a joke when I was at the lord's house.The best worker in the world must be a beautiful boy named Van. [M]

Poor Van.

With such an idiot in mind, I arrived in front of the castle wall.

The gates of the walls had already been opened, and there was a group of poke-faced investigators right outside in front of the jump bridge.

Nevertheless, I don't know who the investigator is.However, there are caravans like the Mary Chamber of Commerce and many adventurers surrounding it, and middle-aged men like merchants sit in the crown seat.

Looking at the group looking up at the walls, he opened his mouth.

"Hello, I am Van Nei Fertio, lord of the village of Ceato.May I ask where you belong? "

I'll ask, but there's no answer.I mean, they didn't even notice.

I wonder if Van won't notice because you're small. [M]He said he had grown five centimeters in a year.If it stretches like this, it will grow rapidly by about two meters by the time I reach the age of 20, and by the time I reach the age of 30, it will grow rapidly by two meters and fifty centimeters.Van, I don't know that your growth will stop.

With that in mind, Dee, who soon followed him, raised his voice as he fled reality.

"Baron Van Ney Fertilio is Minister, Commander of the Knights of Ceat, Dee!And this is Baron Van Nei Fertio, Lord of the Village of Ceato! "

Everyone in the team of investigators looks at us with a loud belly sound.

I coughed up and introduced myself again.Then a tall man appeared from a large carriage in the middle.A smart man who looks forty feet in front of him.is wearing a black costume similar to a suit.

Two women come down after the man.One is a girl with red hair.He looks mid-degree, but wears beautiful clothes and has intelligent and confident eyes.He looks young, but he must be an investigator or a director of the Mary Chamber of Commerce.

And the other one. This was a familiar face.A woman around the age of 30 who is wearing merchant-style clothing that is slightly more exposed for going out.Rosalee, a merchant at the Mary's Chamber of Commerce in the Marquis del Fertilo First City.

As Rosalee quietly greets her in the back, a leading middle-aged man puts his hand on his chest and smiles like a tired salesman.

"I see you for the first time. My name is Apollo, and I'm an investigator with the Commercial Guild and the Kingdom of Sudelia."

A polite greeting. To match it, the red-haired girl who was right behind me also bowed.

"My name is Diane Trienff.Unfortunately, I am the president of the Mary Chamber of Commerce.It's an honor to meet you, Van. "

What a chairman of the Mary Chamber of Commerce.Mary's Chamber of Commerce is too big for family management.Probably quite brilliant.

"Apollo, Diane. And Mr. Rosalee.I've been expecting you.I thought it was time to come. "

Apollo and Diane opened their eyes slightly.Rosalee smiles happily as she has already told me several times.

Thank you very much.

I said that again and smiled at the three of them.

[Diane]

Baron Van introduced me to the hotel as soon as I had finished my journey.To be honest, I would have liked to get on with the proposal, but investigator Apollo turned it down.

Looking at Apollo's back with resentful eyes, Baron Van retreated as if he had expected.

And while taking care of Apollo and us, he will guide us to the top of the castle wall.

I looked at Rosalee with a little confusion.

"... is it true that Van won't be ten years old?In fact, it draws blood from long-lived species, and the actual age is fifty years..... "

"No, Van is definitely of the right age.Van has been unusual since we first met over a year ago.Van has been surprised since he bought that boy soldier as a slave. "

Hear Rosalee's words and sigh back.

"I heard about it in the report, but when I heard it, it was completely different... there was a time when I was wondering if I was a genius or something, but I was embarrassed."

Yes, I saw Baron Van walking in front of me.

I did hear about it in the report, and I am reporting the same to Apollo.

A genius who understands everything by just teaching it once since childhood, and creates new things with unexpected ideas.He wasn't talented as a blessed magician, but he succeeded in flourishing the village and conferring a title before he was kicked out.

And the village has become an unexpectedly developed city.

I was going to understand that.I wondered what a true genius was.

But reality easily exceeds that imagination.

In front of him was a wall that clearly looked stronger than King's Landing, and Baron Van climbed the stairs as if he were introducing us to his home.

"This is the barista. That's the point of defense in this village.I'm going to try and shoot, so please take a look. "

And, lightly, give instructions to the young soldier standing beside the barista.I didn't expect to be introduced to the weapon, and as I tilted my neck with Apollo, a huge bow and arrow was fired.

You're inadvertently poised to hear intense noises and vibrations that hurt your ears.

I followed the ejected arrow with my eyes, but I could hardly recognize it.

However, it is surprising to see that many trees fall far away.

"It's amazing, how far does it go?"

Looking back at that, I saw Apollo's silent appearance.What surprised me and Rosalee was a very different reaction.

"... this is a terrible thing..."

Rosalee and I looked at each other with a little murmur from Apollo.
