Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 163: You're Not A Hero

I'm not even a bitter laugh about the development of the shoe business, Priest Nicolo, but I said I'd turn around and go back to the harsh look.

About the example.

The matter of example would, of course, be about a hidden field that has never come up before.

I squeezed my expression, too, and I waited for the next word of Priest Nicolo.

"Let go of that one."

But the words that came out of its mouth were unexpected.

When I kept my mouth shut, Priest Nicolo continued.

"Disgruntled? Maybe so. Apparently, so do the Festivals. I didn't write it in the report, but for the first time, I said to myself," I can't forgive you, if you can't do something about it, etc. "

But I know about the existence of hidden fields, both in church and aristocracy. That was a thousand years ago. It has also been a problem since the opening of the heavens and the earth, since the peasants built the fields and the nobles imposed taxes. It's called "thoughtfulness" when you say you can fix it. "

It wasn't even like a Nicolo priest. It was a give up. I couldn't keep my mouth shut for the peasants and argued.

"But if we proceed with the pioneering, the state will change. It will be less necessary to cultivate dangerous hidden fields if we can get church and noble pioneering funds in the countryside and do small and decent jobs to the peasants at the end"

Priest Nicolo nodded.

"Right. Maybe so. As for the pioneering land, it will be. The problem of hidden fields will be covered and hidden while the human area expands and the development of agricultural land progresses. As long as the pioneering land is growing, let's do that.

But I can't do it on land that has been leaked to pioneering. Rural poverty cannot be solved and hidden fields remain.

Besides, the problem of agricultural land and hidden fields will never go away until we rid the earth of the threat of all monsters, unless, in the end, man manages all the land. It's what God and great heroes do, not what I or you do. "

That's what I said, I stood up and put my right hand on my shoulder as I sat down.

"Kenji, you're doing well enough. Rural development projects will be pursued as the core business of the Church. The Festivals also grew up well in a short period of time. The desire to restore the benefits of the business of shoes for pioneers to rural areas is also a special victory.

But you are too low-profile to reveal the problem of a hidden field that has been silent for a thousand years and to offer things to the policies of king and aristocratic rule. Even I don't have enough power. Giving up. "

That's all I said, Priest Nicolo, walked away as he did.

I sat down and looked down, staring at my clenched fist.

Returning to the workshop office, Sarah brewed me tea when I sat back in the chair.

"How'd it go? Did your conversation with that priest go well? Did you get praise for your education?

He only told Sarah that he would be discussing it with Priest Nicolo, so he seemed to think it was a report on the education of the Mistress.

"Oh. The report worked. Besides, I think I can sell shoes to people who work in pioneering. We're going to make new shoes."

That said, Sarah was happy to round her eyes and slap her hand.

"That's not amazing! I've never heard the church give me a hand! You make new shoes too! I'm going to be busy!

"That's right. Sell shoes. That is how some of the benefits are restored to the countryside. That's how it works. Join hands with the charity of the Church."

"Adventurers are a lot of people from rural areas, like me! I'm sure they'll all buy it! Kenji, you really come up with something funny about you!

"Right," he responded, but my heart didn't clear.

In the end, I couldn't say enough about the hidden fields and identity issues I talked to Priest Nicolo about.

The more Sarah worried and praised me for the success of the discussion, the more I just bit my lips off at my helplessness.
