Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village

After overcoming the brutality of leaving the village on the day I arrived in the village, I returned to the city and asked the Mayka department manager and the acting lord to set up an emergency meeting seat for the three of us.

Usually, when these three people gather for a meeting, rather than a work meeting, it becomes more comfortable for the family tea party.

Mr. Itsuki's niece is so cute that she can't help it, and Miss Micah can't help but be distracted by her uncle, who bears a heavy responsibility.

As a friend of Miss Micah's, I have a role to play in accepting the topic.

It would be uncomfortable for a meeting that has a large budget and deals with serious cases.

But this time, nobody smiled.

"It's not a story."

After hearing my report, Mr. Itsuki made a quick and concise decision.

As expected, the merciful and thoughtful acting lord was furious at the response of the village chief.

Having expressed his feelings about the report in one word, Mr. Itsuki immediately called the maid to give some instructions.

The punishment for Village Chief Lewis in the tripartite meeting was decided.

The subsequent processing is only carried out in accordance with a predetermined procedure.

Now, when can we leave for Ajol Village?

If you assemble the next expedition plan in your brain, Miss Micah may be in a mood to arm herself.

"But now, how can you say such a stupid thing about Louis?"

Oh, Miss Mayka's abandonment popped up. As far as I know, he's the second victim.

"Because Ash-kun is a messenger from the Territorial Reform Office and a big town, right? The Propulsion Office is an important department that works under the Lord's name, and I explained it to you first, and you know it."

Normally, telling me that dialogue is synonymous with selling a fight to the lord.

He has the authority to appoint and dismiss village chiefs, and is an incredible service to the lord, who is the military superintendent and guardian of justice.

It is only natural that Miss Micah should question it.

Mr. Itsuki sighs as he puts his mouth on the tea, telling his lovely niece in a tired voice.

"There are people like that in the world. I don't have the imagination to understand my position and that of the other person."

"It's a mess," Itsuki said, twisting his lips with a bitter expression.

He tried to laugh, but he couldn't smile at the pain.

"What kind of trouble is that?

"Well, to take Ash's story as an example... first of all, I think I'm in a better position, so the demands are very generous. I ask for something I can't prepare with a light feeling."

In this case, food aid and the right to govern the village.

The former is considerable, but the latter is even worse.

It's like being asked for a luxury resort mansion in a pocket money mood.

"I don't want to make things rough, so I even think I can make a small concession, but the people in this hand are hardly willing to make a concession. I mean, I can't negotiate."

"Well, I think there's only one other solution..."

That's right.

There is only one last resort for a person who does not understand the discussion: force, power, strength.

"That's right, that's why I'm in trouble. Strength is definitely something to use when we can't talk, but it's not good to use it lightly. No matter how you use it, it makes you nervous."

Once you raise your fist, the people around you who saw it recognize the person as a violent person.

No one wants to be shaken by violence, so naturally be vigilant and in some cases prepare yourself with a fist.

That makes it easy for a fight to take place, so the person with the power tries to get things done as gently as possible.

Of course, there are many exceptions.

Miss Micah nods enthusiastically after hearing the explanation.

"I see... It's a loss to be rumored to be a brute. I understand that I don't want to use it for boring things, even if it's legitimate."

Then, I wonder if it is ok this time.

Certainly, it seems difficult to deal with Village Chief Lewis with this reasoning.

However, this time, it is only necessary to shake the relatively moderate violence of power within the scope of the law.

It is obvious that they acted in violation of a formal contract between the lord and the village chief (deputy).

I would still have misled you to stop or reconsider, but forcing you to use sensitive technology as a shield is a complete crime.

In other words, the use of violence this time is merely the control of criminals. The exercise of legitimate violence is said to be policing.

No matter how original the village mayor of Lewis may be, it will be crushed more than giving a flag of cause to the powerful.

"Thanks to Ash for the quality.... no, the other side is self-destructing?

"I think it's self-destructive. I just checked carefully where there was a problem."

That's why Village Chief Lewis thinks he's demanding that there's nothing wrong with him, so he can only say that he doesn't understand his position.

Me and Mr Itsuki's astonishing sigh twisted Miss Mika's neck.

"Huh? I mean, what? Is that Lewis really just retarded? Is this how it works?

Perhaps the explanation was the simplest, so I agreed.

"Wow... I wondered what kind of deliberate scheme there was, but there was such a thing....."

"For example, what kind of deliberate conspiracy?

"No, because it involves confidential technology, such as fabrication from other territories....."

A spy story. That's also interesting, isn't it?

But don't worry about it this time.

"Impossible. If you're doing something like that with a boulder, you'll be able to see it over the course of the year."

I've been attacked by assassins.

I know very well that there are secret agents in the world today. Beyond handling confidential information, the area was well guarded.

I think Village Chief Lewis is a kind of little villain who only sees the change in front of him.

I have no courage to rebel against my lord. The only reason you're going against the Lord this time is because he doesn't realize it.

"To the monkey god, it is impossible to see the sky from the root of the tree. With a con artist's vessel, whose finesse deceives coins, we won't be able to calculate turning one territory against another."

"Hmm... Ugh, I feel like I'm really losing something. If it's going to be easy, it's going to be fine."

I know how you feel.

But if a spy action is launched to stop the war alone, one or two of the villages are going to be destroyed, so let's not be discouraged.

It would have been good if the law had been swept away with a hookie and the little villain was finished.
