Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Sarah goes on regardless of what the festivals look like.

"You saw the village fields, didn't you? Mostly just wheat. But, you know, for peasants living in rural areas, wheat is taken in taxes, so we can't eat it ourselves. So barley and beans are made in small fields outside the village so that officials don't find them."

"Oh, you call that a church priest misses it!

"'Cause the farmers, they have to eat something they don't"

Clemente goes upside down, but Sarah doesn't fit in.

"That's how you justify tax evasion! This is why the common people don't trust you!

The argument between the two is a parallel line everywhere. Should it be called the difference between the feeling of those who are eating in taxes and those who pay taxes?

I can't see how I'm ever going to walk over, so I decided to arbitrate.

"We'll both make it that far. When you can't settle in an argument, look into the facts. Sarah, have you found that hidden field?

"Naturally," Sarah nodded. Sarah said she was pinned because she was walking along the fence that surrounded the village, and there were cleavages in some of them, and the grass there was trampled and vandalized like people were going back and forth from day to day.

Going down that beast path, he said, he found a small field where some of the woods were cut and plowed, and where barley and beans were planted.

"Even farmers, if they can live with proper taxes, they will. I can't do that, so what a dangerous place to build a field outside the village. It's dangerous for a monster to leave a tiny field in the woods, and I can only take a little crop, but I can't eat it, so I have no choice."

Sarah turned to me after telling the festivals off and stared straight at me.

"Kenji and the Festivals will do something about it, won't they? Is that what you're investigating?

Do something about the peasants you can't eat, huh? Sarah's expectations are heavy.

Hidden fields are never an efficient method of farming. Cutting land and expanding it is difficult, and it can be attacked by monsters and wildlife during cultivation.

Still, farmers do not stop building hidden fields because, to observe, the taxes imposed by the church do not fit the reality of the village.

The tax system may be reviewed to advance the pioneering business.

Now it is necessary to put aside the good and the bad and grasp the exact facts of what is happening in the village.

"Right. First, let's find out what's going on. Is that all right?

and saith unto Sarah and the eunuchs, the eunuchs nodded unacceptably.

"As there are hidden fields in the village. When this happens, how do you think I should find out?

Ask the festivals. After a little thought, they verbally state how to investigate.

"What about asking the Church priests? By God, you may confess."

"What about tracing the record of the harvest? You may find an unnatural value"

"All you have to do is pluck through the warehouses of wealthy farmers and look into them. Must be hiding the harvest somewhere."

All the methods are direct and likely to work quite well, but if we do that, we will not be able to hope for the cooperation of the villagers in the future. Isn't there a slightly more convenient way?

"Sarah, can you come up with any way?

And when I asked the parties as well the one that sparked the debate, Sarah replied after a little thought.

"I wonder if I should ask someone in the village who seems most in need to talk to me. Is it your job to listen to people in need?

Hearing Sarah's good, simple answer, the Midwives, who were becoming aggressive, looked a little embarrassed.

Somehow, Sarah's always right.
