Today, we are in regular contact with Serene and Duke Gunton using communication magic tools to inform them of our recent situation.

"The situation here is quite calm."

Mother, Tete-san, thank you for your hard work.

Nevertheless, do you decide things on a collegial basis?I'll do the same thing again. "

Serene, a communication magic tool, struggled with me, and Lord Gunton murmured with a dazed expression.

Even if it is a collegial system, I almost leave it to Beretta to throw the whole thing.

Now, Teto and Beretta are still waiting for me to join them in the meeting.

There were some parts that were a little bit uncomfortable, but I managed to catch the flow of the meeting, so I think the maids under Beretta will be going ahead with the meeting without us in the future.

After that, it might get a little better with the number of meetings and the consciousness of each race.

My current authority is to run deals with Serene and Lord Günther, as well as boarding schools built for children.

In any case, I would like to delegate my practice to someone else as a form of authority.

"That's why I wonder if the refugee problem has been solved inside the forest."

"Fufufu, I understand. I'd like to visit with my husband soon."

If the demons are calm, there's no problem.But what happened to the old people I accepted? ”

There are people who did not report earlier as the transition of business is over.

A breakdown of the 3,000 refugees who came to the [Witch's Forest of Creation] from the refugee camp--about 2,000 are a group of demons.300 children, including orphans and half-caste children.

And there are 700 elderly people who are not part of the workforce.

We're giving them a village, not joining the council, and collecting magic power.

He explains them to the old and the short as he talks lightly.

I had a contract with those old men.

[--- I'll give you the richness that I brought out by [Creation Magic].Instead, work in my land and devote your extra magic power to this magic stone. ”

The old men, exhausted by various things, entered into a pact with me, the only witch offered.

In accordance with the contract, I have given each of them a house to form a village, and I have lent them magic tools to make their daily lives easier, and have them deliver food.

In addition, because the work of casting magic power on magic crystals is known to be high, I let them do wild work and detailed internal jobs at home.

”For a long time the Lord has spoken lies.What is collecting magic power from the old men?Isn't it a charity that helps the complete old people? "

Serene stared at me with a smile, and Lord Gunton pointed out with a dumb voice three times.

Next to me, Tete has a nice smile on his face, and Beretta has a warm gaze.

Everyone has already found out what I really mean, and Lord Günther pointed out, but I turn away to resist and deny it.

"... No. If you abandon it, a monster with a human flavor could appear, or the corpse could become an undead."This is a precautionary measure and a policy to recover magic resources. "

It is said to be a policy of two birds with one stone, but it is denied by its ally Beretta.

"If a monster has appeared that has learned the taste of 700 humans, it is usually much cheaper to ask the adventurer for a countermeasure budget.The same applies to undead occurrences.Also, if you look at it as a magic resource, the rate of magic power generation is much higher when you plant a world tree on the land of the village that your master built than when you deposit the expensive Magic Crystal Stone .

Beretta told me so, and I turned my face completely away because I was blocked from the front of the building.

Even if you didn't line up in front of me like that at all, you just had to reach out to those you wanted to save...

That shadow is the witch's cute spot!

Tete speaks lightly and Serene nods in agreement with Lord Gunton, who is dumbfounded and sighs.

Therefore, at the very least, I would like to make an explanation.

I think it's a witch who easily saves me if she asks for help, so I don't want people pushing me around indefinitely.

I wanted to help the old people humanely and emotionally.

But realistically, I have a vast amount of magic power, and my resources are limited.

We protect the elderly in the form of contracts, because we can't help people indefinitely.

Serene and Lord Günther are convinced that I am.

But it's a real problem. No one asks for an intermediary to introduce her to me.

It's the same at my place.Well, I guess you can't get a sense of distance. "

"Why? Usually, you try to connect the edges?"

He defeated the bone giants that emerged in the western stampede of the ruined continent, and then spent a year helping to rescue the refugees who had pushed their way to the chair kingdom.

At that time, the existence of Creation Magic , which produces a large amount of wheat, was dug up together with our name in the Low Vehicle Kingdom, and the existence of Immortality and Creation Magic was spread.

And yet, I find it strange that my point of contact, Lord Serene and Lord Günther, should not be here to talk.

"Objectively looking at the mothers, they seem to have special powers and use powerful dragons.Also, since you obey the demons, it's not funny that you're reminded of the demon king of Ogata. "

Besides, there's one thing about the Low Bile Kingdom, right?The king was chased from the throne after he inadvertently attacked you in that case.It's a nightmare for the powerful to be pursued. "

I agree with Serene, who smiles bitterly, and with Lord Günther, who just tells me the truth.

They thought it would ruin them for me, so they wouldn't inadvertently touch me.

That's a little rude, isn't it?... Well, it's fine to be quiet.

"Hmm, I'm not afraid of witches."It's strong, it's gentle, it's cute! ”

"Hey, Tet. I'm embarrassed."

"Hahaha, we both know that."Well, I guess the Duke of Zelich in the Low Bile Kingdom is using his guild's network to spread the impression of a terrible existence and protect it. ”

It would be an action to curb excessive contact between each other.

But there are still fools in the world who dare to jump into such danger.

Of course, there aren't any intermediary requests for us.

I'm sorry about that.

”No, please don't apologize to your mother.My home is the point of contact, so it's only natural. "

We know that, and we're dating.

The two of you will say that, so I'll just be a little relieved.

For your information, the intermediary request for me was to bring us into our forces.

It seems that I have tried to nostalgize with everything that humans would imagine, such as gold, titles, engagements, lands, slaves, and goods, but as far as I heard, there was nothing that moved my heart.

On the contrary, for those who seek help purely due to illness or curse, it seems that they have been able to sell their gratitude to Serene and Lord Günther because they have left it to the medicine and the right people to make from the leaves of the world's trees and the horns of the unicorns.

Most of the opponents can be defeated within our power, but there are still stupid opponents everywhere.

"You were protected while we were looking inside the forest."

I am grateful to Lord Lebel and Lord Günther for secretively protecting us as a point of contact for our negotiations.

Most of the opponents pulled out because the two rulers suppressed them.

Even so, some opponents do not pull back. They try to contact the adventurers and mercenaries by using their abilities, but they fail because they can't reach it by the illusion magic taught to them by the elves of the Great Forest.

"I guess that's the end of the political story."

That's right, it's time for us to pass on to the next generation.

"I still intend to be active, but my son-in-law and daughter are getting loud."But it's definitely retirement time. "

Taking this as an opportunity, an alternative will begin.

Serene, along with her husband, Weiss, is going to cherish her grandchildren as she gives over to her sons.

Lord Günther also gave up his son-in-law and daughter to spend the rest of his life cherishing his granddaughter as his only grandfather.

It is our personal affinity that I have traded with the House of Lebel and the House of the Duke of Hamil.

The relationship with the three houses in the future will be carried out without our personal relationship.

Apart from that, I will not talk politically, but I will keep in touch with these contacts from time to time.
