I Became the Demon Lord and my Territory is an Uninhabited Island
Episode 181-When I Signed a Contract
I finished making my estimate, sandwiched the leather tube, and headed for Mr. Nils. The appointment was taken in advance.
I talked with Rush and said that I would study, so I put in my personal feelings, and on the condition that I would be able to buy things directly from the warehouse built on the island in the future, I would replace the large silver coin portion of the estimate with eight to five. And then cut off a fraction.
I'm doing well around that ... I personally wanted to pull it unconditionally, but it doesn't seem to go that way.
Do you want to study by subtracting 300,000 yen? Well, it's a job of a few gold coins, and a little bit?
Giant moss cloth? Nothing was said about the promise of the time when he did not know the price and the nobility of this island.
"Chaass, it's been a long time"
"Wooth"
A brief greeting is given to a familiar staff member of Nils, who will be guided to the back.
"Excuse me"
Knock and wait for a reply before entering the room and sitting in the recommended seat. Then, while making a sound like a cylinder for a graduation ceremony, remove the lid and spread the drawing on the table. Of course it is Oda's work. I can't draw this much detail.
"I'm sorry, but it's about work."
"Eh, it doesn't matter."
Nils utters a word and looks at the drawings.
Well, Mr. Oda made something like a drafting board, and it's so beautiful. It is a large board, a relatively straight, ruler-like board that moves in all directions, but it seems completely different if there is no board.
"As you can see, this is the drawing. And here is the quotation. And this is the average of the land where the selenite warehouses are built. In fact, the price is only a third of the price, but if it gets better or there are more shops around, we will raise it a little. "
"There's no problem with the land ... but, without a closer look, there's no figure below the big silver coin--"
"Yes, I studied."
I responded with a smile.
"But there are conditions."
"Conditions ...?"
Nils suddenly became serious and seemed prepared to say what.
"Would you like to sell something in the warehouse to the Aquamarine Shokai or an individual at the discretion of the warehousekeeper? Well, it's not a nominal store, so we don't charge tax, but if you notice it, inventory may decrease. I don't know ... but I don't intend to mess up the inventory so much.
When I finished, Nils's face returned to her usual smile.
"Is that about it? No problem, of course the wholesale price is as usual."
I feel like I'm half way through the law, but this is probably my personal feeling. Well, it's a law with a lot of loopholes.
"But construction is a bit late. There are about 100 demons and people in the spring, so I'm busy building that house now."
"It doesn't matter. Is it okay to say about the beginning and end of summer?"
"That's right. I think that's about it. But if you have time, come and see if there is something you don't like."
"If you look at this drawing, it seems that there is no problem? It is about a hundred steps away from the shore, it says that the road will be maintained, and it seems that it may take some effort to carry in."
"I don't like the shape of the windows, or the columns are thinner or there are fewer beams than I thought .... Regarding the import, I assumed that the sea would be quite rough during a storm, so I made it a little far away. I'm fine with this. "
The weather is a bit like a storm, but it's a typhoon class in Japan. The worst is to raise the sandy beach and take measures against waves.
"It's not a house, so it's okay if you don't leak it.
"It's not a harbor, it's a shallow shore."
The story went on like this, and he signed and signed the contract, completing the formal contract.
"Thank you. Thank you in advance."
"Thank you very much, I will bring you a change of tea, so please wait a moment."
"Thank you"
Nils brought a change of tea and started chatting from here.
"Do you have a policy for the future?"
I heard something like this. Since I didn't know how to respond to my future policy, I would honestly talk about what I would do next.
"Yes, I don't have a clay layer, so I'm going to use red clay to make bricks. But I have to start with a trip to find that red clay ..."
"A journey ...?"
"I keep walking without sleeping and it's a five-day island, it's bigger than the town around it. It's a mountain that erupted, so ash falls, so it takes a long time for the ash to turn into red clay. , There are some vegetation that grows up and rotten repeatedly, resulting in black soil.Shallow places to dig, flat land suitable for brick making, easy transportation and firewood acquisition, and near all villages. I like it, it's a journey to find it, and it's a horse, it's too heavy for people to carry.
"I'm thinking a lot ..."
"Well, I'm half-administrator, so I care about it. Stone is limited, there is only one digging place at the moment, and it's tapered. Well, day labor before becoming a demon king It's helpful to work in the adventurer's guild as a day laborer. ''
Laughing a little, sipping tea.
"I'm sorry, what did you do on your day job?"
"It's a town wall repair. I knead brickwork, watch it bake, pile it up. It was troublesome, and using magic to do it, I was barred and recruited for the defeat mission. From that point on, my plan to live peacefully in the first place has gone crazy, and for some reason I have also experienced the battlefield, and I am now. "
"You live a great way ..."
"Yes ... why? ... I don't know. Well, I still live peacefully in a sense, but I wanted to relax on the side that is used, not the representative. I feel like I'm having a hard time at first so that I can live comfortably. I don't know how long the first will last ... I'd like to spend my time as a counselor if I get on the flow to some extent.
I sigh and drink a cup of tea.
"I don't want power ..."
Nils heard with a serious face. Nobody wants money and power. It looks like that.
"Well, it's troublesome and heavy. I'm always responsible for the words. I have expanded my business in order to create an environment where I can spend my time. I want to spread the danger and damage, so I decided to create villages in various parts of the island and decide the village chief so that I wouldn't be one-man. "
"... Why do you do so even if you are not ambitious?
"I just threw it out for a couple of days. But because of my personality, I started out first, and until the end ... or to some extent, I'm an irresponsible person. I hate it, I don't want to be that kind of person, I don't trust me, it's a huge disgusting thing for me, so I'm still a representative. "
Nils is a bit reluctant to find the word.
"I really wanted to bring someone in for study, but it seems that it's still too early, so let's start studying. Whether you're pulling merchants or growing them up from scratch, leave them there. If a merchant traveling alone on a horse with a big backpack loves the island and stays permanently, I would like to study a little bit of this kind of exchange and then leave the contractual relationship. I'm sorry, it's gone. ''
"It's okay, but that's pretty rare, isn't it? It's dangerous if you don't hire an escort, and you'll be betrayed and killed and robbed of money and luggage. The arrow hit and died ... I managed to escape ... but my escort shot and killed me. "
Wow, I guess that's what it's like, and this kind of background is the same everywhere.
"Hide ..."
"Because I'm alone, I'm silent about the dead, oh, it's a famous story among merchants."
"Are you famous ?! Mercenaries or escorts belonging to the guild would be over if their credit was broken ... At that time, there was usually another escort, so was it established? "
"Well, I don't know if it's a lie or it's true, but it's like a commandment to stop a merchant from traveling alone.
With a little twist, Nils told me that it seemed like a cautionary advisor and was widespread among merchants.
That's right. If it is not this much, there should be more merchants traveling alone.
"I hope the security is as good as peddling alone. For me!"
"Hahahah, that's right."
Laughing and laughing, Nils stopped drinking tea and turned down the drawing, so she refused.
"The same thing is on the island, it is a copy, so please bring it with you."
"Is this a copy ... a pretty familiar person is drawing."
"Well, one of the heroes who live on the island. He drew this drawing, but it seems that about two or three people are educating. So rather, I was drawing this drawing many times. "
"Education ..."
"Well, I want to raise one or two people, but I couldn't find anything ..."
I sigh and open my arms, shaking my head.
"Isn't it necessary for you to have an education like a noble family since you were a child when you trained a child in the back of a calm? A vessel that stands on everyone, the ability to look ahead, and the merits of a merchant."
"Huh. I want to give up trying to find something later."
Leaning on the back of the sofa and sighing looking up at the ceiling.
"What about the aristocrat's children who have an island? It's not a problem because it's an island within the territory."
"I guess she doesn't have a child, but she has a husband. In this case, I wonder if her husband will be getting a booster and a stimulant."
"What's interesting is your child?"
"I'm training for my father and father-in-law, saying I want to be an adventurer. Oh, I'm an opposition, but I do not want to break my child's dream as much as possible. My two brides and my parents are all in favor. So I will leave the village next spring. ''
"Oh, uh ... you have to develop the island to the point where you don't need to work .... or do you expect from that nobleman?"
"Even if you expect, if there are many towns in the territory, it is unlikely that you will come to the island.
"That .... Somehow .... Good luck."
"Thank you."
I got up from the sofa, greeted me and returned to the island.
