Episode 20: A small house uproar.

"Now, in this Knightly Baumeister, the unrest and distrust of the folks is quietly growing."

In the morning, I tried to move to Bleichburg by a momentary movement, as usual, and felt that there were a number of people around me.

I hate the feeling of being watched, and I appealed with a shout to notice that I was in the direction to feel the sign, and there was a master who ruled the village near the mansion, the father of his daughter, My concubine and my half-brothers show up.

I heard about the business, but the word from the master, Claus, was an outrageous bomb.

"I didn't hear you"

I could only say that.

His father is alive and well, and he has already announced inside and outside that his eldest son, Kurt, will be his successor.

Furthermore, four years ago, she was successfully married and had children.

In addition, the child is a boy.

By ordinary thinking, Kurt inherited the Knight territory of Baumeister, and the order of his children was obvious from everyone's eyes.

"But, Mr. Wenderin"

"It's a request that doesn't have too much context, so it's not a story."

Yes, I'm in trouble if you talk about it suddenly.

Assuming the eleven-year-old Misokasu Yaomanbo, who was still 11 years old, to this place, what will he say from now on?

"He is my father now, and he has announced his eldest brother, Kurt, who has a child as his successor. And there are three older brothers on me who are still heir. Klaus's proposal What should I say without calling him arrogant? "

The current succession order of the Knight territory of the Baumeister is the elder brother Kurt first, the eldest son Carl Kurt, the third Paul the third, the fourth Helmut the fourth, and the fifth Erich the fifth. Finally, I'm in sixth place.

The second son, Hermann, who is the head of the branch, has already abandoned the right of succession, and Erich, who is currently a junior official in the royal capital, will soon be married to his boss's parents' home As things have been decided, he will soon give up his right to succession.

Because of that, my succession right moves up to fifth place, but it is too unnatural to make me the next head.

Above all, what I want you to do is not be able to convince my father, which is the biggest challenge.

Maybe this Claus is going to be asked by someone to dispose of me as the main culprit in the house turmoil.

Even such a conspiracy theory came to my mind.

"Maybe I was overlooking Claus's good sense?"

"Hey! You are!"

"Wait! Walther!"

"But my father!"

"You're Wendelin's brother, but your status is different!

The sixth son Walter was furious at my remarks, but was immediately suppressed by Claus.

I couldn't imagine this in the past, but it's difficult to tell the difference between this wife and the concubine.

@Walter is eight years older than me, but he must never give me a big brother.

"I know I'm saying ridiculous things, but if I don't do anything here, Knight's Baumeister will surely decline in the future."

"decline?"

I couldn't understand why this Baumeister knightship would decline.

There is an undeveloped land that generates enormous wealth if it develops enormously, and if it succeeds in opening part of the demon forest, it is a territory that can contact the sea.

"Yes, the future will be bright if we can develop it, but it is not possible at the moment, and if we keep going, this Knights of Baumeister will gradually depopulate and depopulate."

Klaus begins to explain to me the background behind my failed enlistment in the Demon Forest, eleven years ago, including the future of Knights of the Baumeister.

"Elections eleven years ago was a painful failure."

"I know that. With such a vast expanse in front of me, I couldn't figure out why I was rushing to open the distant forest of magic. I wondered if I really wanted the sea. It's clear that Breichrader was hoping for results in the area where the demons live. ''

"In addition, I've got the mansion right now, because I've sent soldiers in the directions. Think about it. Even within the same territory, we don't have any geography of wilderness or magical forests. I was counting on it. "

Breichrader seems to be able to mobilize more than 30,000 troops if he cares.

Nevertheless, there are several nobles in the territory that maintain security and territorial borders, and there are more realistic budget and logistical issues.

No matter how much logistics they depend on their masters holding magic bags, it's only reckless to advance 10,000 units of troops across a mountain range as high as Mt. Fuji.

Despite how close they are, Knight territory of the Baumeisters are only worried about the overwhelming numbers of troops in other territories.

"So, was it a half-armed army of 2,000 people?"

"It seems that the one hundred people that the palace gave was also grateful, and that's the real purpose of Breichrader Margin ..."

The former Marshal of Breichrader had two sons.

With his eldest son, Daniel, and his second son, Amadeus, the predecessor Breichrader seemed to have doted on his brilliant eldest son, Daniel, and expected him to be his successor.

"But he has been incurable for an incurable disease."

Breichrader has done everything he can, but his death seems to be imminent.

And a little hope that could cure him.

It seems that it was a spirit medicine made from the blood of the legendary demon ancient dragon.

"The ancient dragon could have lived in the Demon Forest."

It seems that he could not finally find it in the area of the demon where other adventurers are coming and going.

So he seems to have expected in an uncharted territory, the Demon Forest.

"I should have asked an adventurer."

"I'm sorry, but I don't know that."

First, struggle on a long journey to the Knights of Baumeister, and from there, cross hundreds of kilometers of wilderness untouched by humans.

At that point, you finally arrive at the Demon Forest, where you can get your spirits and defeat the ancient dragon.

Sure, it would be disgusting no matter how many such requests are piled up.

"These results are the same as before. The former Bleichrader army and subordinates were destroyed. About five hundred were returned with satisfaction, and so did my Baumeister Knights. , Only 23 people. "

The Breichrader Frontier, who lost his head, is inherited by his second son, Amadeus, instead of his eldest son, Daniel, who died shortly after hearing his father's death.

Although it was not expected as a trace at all, the trace was suddenly succeeded, and at first, it started from a state where one-tenth of the total force and the excellent wizard you had lost were lost.

You probably thought it was a terrible punishment game.

The failure of a noble military operation would be a factor to be licked by nobles who are competing in surrounding territorial disputes.

It is not hard to imagine that the outing of the current Breichrader Marshaku was quite difficult.

"It's probably because of it. The new Breichrader Margin has given a better than-the-money money to the war dead of the Knights of the Baumeisters.

It was a revelation of a fact I didn't want to hear from a man holding the Baumeister family's finances.

In the first place, no matter how much color you get with just the inauguration money, the surviving family will not be able to enjoy your life forever.

Furthermore, my father is stupid as a condition to receive the extra payment.

He hopes that his father has begged for his father, Breichrader Hakkai, because his father wants to develop the Devil's Forest, and he reluctantly accepts that he cannot refuse the request of his child.

I don't think this situation will improve anything, but it also seems to be a kind of pride of the nobles.

"There was a rebuilding of the lost army, and at that time the population was growing a bit, so we were just in front of a new land reclamation plan. The palace needed money."

But it's not just money and supplies that we lost.

The workers were lost at a stretch, and it seems that the daily dinner was only black bread and salted vegetable soup as a result of forcibly extracting workers for new land reclamation and irrigation canal construction.

If there is no clearing, there is time to go hunting by hand between field work.

"It's such a closed rural countryside. Dissatisfaction is on the verge of explosion, but it can not be exploded."

The story from Klaus continues.

"Many people are now dissatisfied with the museum."

First, a family who lost their mainstays and promising young people 11 years ago.

Furthermore, my father is foolishly giving the exorcism money given by New Breichrader Margin to give them to him.

If you are adored by this, the folks will be considerable masochists.

Next, the relatives, family members, and their families of the great uncle who was the head of the branch, who led the reinforcements and died in the war.

This house contains the second son Hermann mainly, but he seems to be in the state of a straw mat at present.

From a wearer's point of view, Hermann would also be seen as a spy sent to a branch to increase his influence.

"Indeed, Hermann seems to be feeling a sense of crisis. Since he was married, his relationship with the family was cut off, and he has now completely expressed his anti-policy. In fact, Mr. Wenderin will be the next head Please agree with me about the matter. "

"Hey……"

I didn't care much because I was going out, but now the Baumeister family seems to be in a very bad state.

"And this may be the most serious."

The new land clearing was finally completed after completing the predetermined plan, but this will naturally be planned again as the population increases.

"However, land reclamation work led by palaces and young people has a bad reputation."

It doesn't seem to whip farmers.

We work at the forefront of ourselves, and do not eat the same food as everyone else and eat only our own good food.

However, my father is strong and can not do it, so it seems that other people have a habit of imposing it unconsciously.

In addition, he seems to lack the appropriate abilities as a commander, such as taking a moderate break or conducting efficient construction, and his reputation is not good among the people participating in the work.

"Kurt cannot say anything to such a mansion, so his reputation is also bad."

Even though it's number two, I can't comment on number one and only do the same work as ordinary workers.

It's natural to be hated.

"As a result of the growing population and the uneasiness of the land reclamation work, the folks became worried ..."

During the clearing, the people became poor even if they didn't want to eat, and they seemed to move to keep their population from growing.

"The second and subsequent boys have begun to leave this territory of Baumeister."

They often go out of their homes to the nearest city, Breichburg, accompanied by a merchant who visits every few months.

And they arrive in Breichburg, and they seem to find a job there or apply for a new settlement that another lord is looking for.

"And recently, even girls ..."

With the exception of the eldest son who succeeds the field and the girl who will be married, even the girls have now come out of Baumeister territory.

If this happens, the outflow of the population will not stop.

If the eldest son cannot be married, that would be the first step in depopulation.

"To make matters worse, Wendelin-sama's magic came out."

It's a magic.

I wish I could make use of this in the development of the Baumeister territory, but my father tried to keep me from contacting the territory as much as possible in order to maintain the order of succession.

If you really want to develop your territory, you should turn your tracks into me and work for it.

It is the mission of those who are called nobles who must sometimes make such ruthless decisions.

"The folks have given up. They believe that the palace behaves as an aristocrat in this remote rural village and thinks that nothing else is needed if the house continues without the waves."

If it is cut off, it may be severe.

Humans are creatures with greed.

Excessive greed is not good, but moderate greed.

In addition, the desire to improve their lives a little more is essential for humans.

"It is important to feed all the people at a minimum. It's up to you. "

Klaus sighed, speaking so far.

It can be said that if the population of the Baumeister territory does not reach a plateau but rather enters a declining trend, the worries will not end.

"I can understand Klaus's feelings, but here's what I declare to be the next head? What's the extra fuss?"

No matter what you think, no one at home will support you.

Everything is useless if my father doesn't replace me, and if the fight for success succeeds in the middle ear.

Because there is a sense of distance, a central bureaucracy may order deceased or removal of a territory administratively.

"It's useless just to make a noise. Rather, it's no use. It's the only industry that has to persuade my father to increase the number of new migrants and promote efficient development."

"But if there is magic of Wendelin ..."

"What if I managed my magic here, what if I die?"

"that is……"

The nature of the wizard is not inherited.

If you have inherited, it is natural that royalties and nobles are full of wizards.

Because of that, the royal family and the nobles try to beat the great pieces and enclose a great wizard.

Let's go back, let's say I use magic here to enrich this Baumeister territory.

But how do I keep it after I die?

Perhaps a more terrible decline than a gradual depopulation is waiting for.

"And, even if I forcibly become the owner, I'll definitely mess up."

Klaus seems to be dissatisfied with his father, but there are people in the territory who are not so dissatisfied with his father and brother.

After they became my head, if they became dissatisfied with me, it would be meaningless.

"So I've never heard of this story."

If I leave it at the end, I will rush to the depths of the forest and immediately disappear with the magic of instantaneous movement.

Klaus stared at the situation stunned.

"(Or rather, what do you mean ...)"

Klaus's feelings are clear, but the order is wrong first.

Before persuading me, there will be people who bring the story.

Yes, first of all, it's useless to talk to me if I can't persuade my father.

"(But this is bad ...")

It was unclear to what extent Father and Kurt were aware of Klaus.

If you do poorly, I may be charged with rebellion.

If that happens, it will be a lot of trouble.

Despite the way homes go, if you don't leave the house after giving up the right to inheritance comfortably, you may become a nose-picking person as a person who disrupts the order of inheritance of your parents' home.

Even if you have such a bad reputation, there will be some difficulties in your future life.

It's easy to talk to my father about it.

What if my father is trying to take my disposal by using it?

The more you think, the more likely it is that the answer will come.

"Doo! I can't think of it! Ignore Claus! Ignore!"

In the wilderness plain of the destination, I leave the momentum as it is and release the massive explosion magic.

Then, a big hole is made there.

"Although it is for releasing stress, it is environmental destruction."

I was a little calm and reflected on me, but it was just that God knew that this big hole would be used as an artificial lake by future people.
