Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 633: Storm Aftermath

Maintaining the mansion with Sarah's head command for about two days around the corner, I managed to dress up as much as I could live.

"It's time to do it at the commissioning ceremony for the deputy."

I am oblivious to etiquette and formality, but I have heard it at first from Michelino Festival.

The formal inauguration may be a little later, but it would be more convenient to keep it easy and face-to-face with the leading villagers.

Speaking of which, you don't get greetings from people in the village.

"You're not coming."

Seeing where Kilik and Sarah are wondering, I'm not sure, but if the deputy comes, it seems natural to come to greet them from the villagers.

"I'll try to get in touch with the church on the land first"

I have left Claudio in the city, so I am bringing Paperino the priest as an intermediary with the Church.

Quickly, I decide to get you to work.

I feel something is happening.

The usual, troublesome.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

"Seems like a lot of trouble is going on"

The first voice of Paperino, who came back by the time the sun set, was that.

"You're not surprised."

As impressed, Paperino stared at this one and blinked.

'Cause it's the usual.'

When everything is in trouble, a unique inquiry begins to work.

Ability to pick up discomfort from small information, but do you say?

Besides, if the person above is still a nerd every time there is trouble, the person below is also less likely to raise the information.

This kind of thing is just as good as insensitive on the surface while making your head work.

"In the meantime, let's eat! There's nothing you can do to make me hungry, look dark and think about it!

"Right. It's going to be a long time, so why don't we talk over dinner?"

It made a lot of sense in the workshop to surround the breakfast table with the craftsmen.

Because the artisans in the street and their families showed respect as fellow workers in the same workshop.

In territory, that attitude becomes more important.

The humans here are truly a community of destiny.

If, for example, a flock of monsters pushes against the territory, they must guard the gates of the mansion, guard the surrounding fences, guard the doors of the mansion even if they allow intrusion, and defend the land and the deputies with their lives.

That's what I'm talking about.

And the act of taking meals together is also an act of confirmation of that solidarity.

When I was setting up a workshop in the city, Sarah and I lived in the workplace. Regardless, the other personnel went to the workshop, so to speak, they were separating their occupations, but in this territory everyone would live in the deputy mansion.

Unlike running a workshop with a sense of company organization, it becomes necessary to run and manage a family.

The same goes for the feeling that you have power in your hands that you felt on your journey so far, but you can't help but wipe the discomfort of being incorporated into the mechanisms of an aristocratic society with clan blood families as its governing principle, but you'll have to get used to all of this.

It's quite annoying.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The table is a part of politics, as I've often said, but the more serious the topic, the better it is to have it reported at the table.

Humans, because it's hard to get serious while eating delicious meals.

Thinly slice the hard bread, put it on Sarah's special sauce, pinch the ham, and taste like a grilled sandwich while broiling.

I really wish I had cheese, but burnt bread isn't bad either.

Most importantly, it's easy to talk while eating.

"So give me the information you got from the church, Paperino"

Encouraging him to bite off the bread, Paperino began reporting.

"As you know, my predecessor's deputy has been dismissed. We are now governed by deputies seconded in the Church"

"Right. So, what's the problem?

"There are currently no village chiefs in this territory"

"But you were relieved of adhering with your predecessor. So, what's the surrogate?

"I'm not here. Acting village chief was also a member of the village chief's clan, and he was removed at the same time."

Since we will be adhering to each other, such as the leading members of a narrow village society, when one becomes a rope, Zulu and the entire clan are dismissed? If they were a little more conspicuous, they would spread the political risk by being able to have daughter-in-law to other clans, but not in this narrow village?

"So the representatives on the village side are absent, including surrogates?

"It will. And if you're sent to church, they're going to leave tomorrow."

"That's sudden."

Can't you take over too much in tomorrow's departure?

Is this some kind of harassment, too?

He said he was called back to the center of everything.

"Okay."

I lost my willingness to pursue more than that in Paperino's report.

Perhaps there is some political struggle (game) going on in the middle of the church over the rights of the printing industry.

This is a side of the story.

Against a storm in a huge cup called the Church, I will avoid it and evacuate myself to this territory, and the former priest who was there will be recalled and sent somewhere else.

I don't even feel like blaming you for being irresponsible if you think everything you've caused is going around.

A small sigh poured in with the barley of the land made me feel a little less comfortable with my earlier worries.
