When I was practicing as Master told me, I decided to recall the emergency because my body was broken.

We need to go check on the colony and the Gokellas.

Regardless of the place of residence, the Gokelei have been left to Titos.I don't know what to do in the future.

Anne and Tirica will come when I say so.They want to visit the nursing home at the fort.In addition to Lilia, including the Knights of Angela and the usual guards (sati), it became quite a big place.Try to be as discreet as possible and in adventurous costumes, we moved to our first destination, the base in the town of Rakhna, which we first overran in Hiragis.

"First of all, it's Titos. Thank you for leading the Gokellas."

Before I saw the members of the regiment, I talked to Titos, who had been taking care of the regiment for a long time.

"Nothing more than Lili-sama's orders.And it was a good experience. "

Titos is by nature the guardian knight of Lilia.Because it was the right person, I had to take care of the Gokelei team.Although it was a lot of trouble, I honestly felt bad about leaving it for a long time.

By the way, Patos, the sister of Titos, who is also a guard knight, has been given control of the mansion in the village of Yamanos.This one seems to be living very comfortably every day. He said he had another lifetime of struggle in the battle of the Elf's Country. Although the management of the Mansion is also an important task, it is as long as he has been in a drawer and is really envious.

"Then I'll be in Hiragis for about a month...."

"In the meantime, let's accept the request here.It looks like the reward will be paid properly. "

Speaking of which, I didn't give you any money.I first provided a set of equipment, and during Operation Hiragis' retrieval, supplies and food were provided by the army, so I didn't think it would take much trouble, but the reward?We've been fighting for free, and we haven't thought about it at all.

Originally, I planned to teach bows and swords in the back for the time being, and I didn't intend to put them into action at all.

"What have you ever done to reward a member of the League?"

"I had some pocket money in my hand."

Though it is a small sum, is it taken out of pocket money?It is conscription when it comes to recapture of Hiragis.The reward is as much as the tears of a sparrow.After the war, there may be some reward, but neither you nor I can expect it.The Gokelei didn't do anything fantastic.

It is a group of children, although only bows can be used at a minimum.Essentially, he was in charge of defending the walls and seemed to have been useful enough, but he didn't seem to be reckless or ruthless enough to send the troops to a very dangerous place, and he was far from prominent enough to be rewarded.

"Tell me about it later.I'm going to come out from the future.What about the reward..... "

How do you run a mercenary regiment in the first place?Even if the remuneration is fixed salary + it feels like a percentage when you work, someone who can represent me as an adult is absolutely necessary.

You won't be in trouble at work for the time being.Rather, it is time for mercenaries and adventurers to earn money after the war.Escorts and crusades are the main thing, but I can't rest assured without escorts unless I can do something about the monsters scattered throughout the hiragis to do the restoration work.The Sergeant has left aside the story that he will succeed Kensei, and is now busy representing the Rishra Kingdom Adventurers Guild.

Let's go see the squad for now.

While I was thinking about the reward, I came up with a good idea.

"Commander!" "He was Commander!" "Commander Masal!"

The children who were waiting in the hall boiled at my appearance.It is a momentum that is likely to gather with both hands up and raise the torso of the championship.

No, it's not a mistake.Operation Hiragis has succeeded and our country has been recaptured.It will not be a pleasure to compare the winners.

Adults of the contingent watched it warmly from behind.They are not Titos alone, but Elves' help and an old soldier whose conscription was abandoned because of his age forced him to join the army.

I left it to the noise for a while and started talking when it calmed down.

"Long time no see, Gochelai Clan members.I'm sorry I left you alone for so long. "

When I started talking, it went quiet.

"No, Captain Masal's activities are moving backwards.Every time I heard that, we had to do our best to help. "

It is Karl, the oldest, who greets the delegate in a tough way.Carl is twelve years old. The youngest person is six years old and there are 18 people in total.I don't know who really thought of going to the battlefield.

Even though General Eldo was spreading the fruits of the Elves, everyone knows their role on the battlefield and behind.In addition, the members of the regiment were taught some circumstances, and there seemed to be some information available to ordinary elves through Titos.Of course, I made sure to keep my mouth shut around it.

But even though Karl was a normal kid, he felt so neat.Is the tone imitated by Titos?

"I have heard from Titos about your activities.You did your best on a tough battlefield without missing anyone. "

Thanks to the addition of helpful elves and veteran soldiers, it was also a well-balanced battle group.

"Thank the Elves for their support."

Lower your head slightly.It's just the three of us, but it's about me.I'm sure an excellent one has been dispatched.Rather, it was the main force of the mercenary regiment.

"What a waste of words."

"The veteran beasts have been very supportive of our first regiment."

"Please use one or two of the veterans as you wish, considering Masal's support for the residence."

Nod lightly at the words. Well, they're close.You're wrong to thank me. [M]

So that's the reward, don't you guys want territory?

Talk back to the child. It is a reward for Sir Nathan's offer.I didn't particularly want or need territory or nobility, but the locals might want it.

"Territorial?"

What is territory?

"There it is... village or town?"

Older Carl is sometimes smart among beasts, but there are words below that don't seem to catch up with understanding at the age of six.No, really, I wondered why I put these guys on the front line.

"It's the lord who has a few villages and towns, and the land that holds them is the territory.I mean, could you be lord? "

In fact, will it take the form of me taking it and setting up a deputy for the time being, and then giving it away after a while?It seems to be a fairly large territory, and it can be divided into individual parts.If not, we can expand the village and bring the beast to the main.

The Principality of Hiragis stands out.The Beast rejoices. I don't have much trouble either. It's win-win.

"What? Aren't you happy?"

Members of the team who start to consult with each other on the spot.The adult beasts also speak two or three words, but they are all soldiers and adventurers.Seems pretty confused.

"I'll do anything you ask me to....."

That's what Karl says as soon as he comes to a conclusion.

"Oh, that's not an order. I want it or not."

I don't really want it.Let me explain a little bit more.

"We've been a little active in Hiragis."

"A little....?"

Yeah, well, flush it there, Karl.

"So I'm going to get a reward for my achievements, but I have territory in the Kingdom of Rishra, and I'm going to be a Count, so I don't want to get territory here, and I don't want it in the first place."

But even with money and something of value, in Hiragis today, there is only status, honor, or devastated territory.Even if we had the assets we could take out at the time of our escape, we would have used them up to survive and fight back Hiragis.

So I was discussing how to praise the elves at the reward seat, how to be friendly in the future and how to deceive them with promises to help them when they are in trouble.

"But there's no need for me to do it directly, and I was wondering if you guys wanted it."

"I can't run it even if I get it, and I have no reason to get it."

Karl answers calmly. You are absolutely right.I didn't have anything special to accomplish, and I was just worried if you suddenly asked me to give you territory.

"For the time being, I thought I'd leave it up to someone else to transfer it to."

Either way, the lord can't do it at twelve, and we'll talk about it in a few years.

"Then I suppose Commander Masal should be the lord forever."

Well, if it's an ant, it's an ant, but I don't want to do more work and I don't have much benefit from it.It is another country's land that is devastated and takes time to rebuild.

"Well, if you don't want it. But if you change your mind, tell me. Let's talk about it."

It is not difficult at all to develop new technologies if you think about doing so.If you only build walls, farmland, and houses, you'll have enough know-how to develop my village and Ellie's brother's village, mine development, and brewing specialties.As long as it's on track, you can manage it later.Those who are motivated will do what they want.

The children are neither motivated nor interested.

"But if you're staying, you might be happy."

Perhaps the head of the Residence Beast would be worthy.There may be a combination with where I used to live, but should I get the territory and throw it away appropriately?I don't think there's any reason for you to be more than a member of the Regiment.

Well, I'll ask you about the territory.

What about the reward?

So it's a reward, but one gold coin per month + a percentage salary.How about this? "

When I heard one piece of gold, the children raised their voices.About 100,000 yen a month. I don't think it's a lot of money, but it's a lot of money for the kids.

Of course, I am thinking of raising my salary.I'm not that different from an apprentice yet.Let's think about regular salaries when we can fight them properly.

"The salary of the veterans group....."

"If you give me half of the team, that's enough."

Well, let's keep it the same for now.

That's right, I don't have half. Instead, I think it is necessary to give at least twice or three times, but I will look at the future work and deal with it with a bonus or something.

"Elves....."

"Not required"

Well, that's true. But one of the best wizards in the elf.If you are an adventurer, it would be equivalent to Class A and Class B.How much does it cost to hire?Ten or twenty gold coins or more?Nothing can be done to that extent, but it is not a bit healthy to normalize deficit management as a group.

Besides, it is a great honor for Elves to cooperate with me.Instead, hopes have come too close, and it's not strange whether you pay money or want to participate.

The Gokelei are famous candidates for patronage, and if patronage is born out of it, there is no more honor for Elves.

"Then I'll let you out the same way."

If you earnestly pay the elf, the expense will not be fashionable, so let's convince them that we are together for the time being.

"For the time being, let's try this and discuss the salary system again after we do something more about the organization as a group."

First of all, I need someone in charge of accounting and affairs.

"Should I hire one or two backers?I'll be responsible for calculating money, replenishing equipment, and procuring food. "

An elf looks at me with expectations in his words.No, because if I ask you guys, your salary will be a mess, right?

"Yes! I have a friend who is good at calculating at school!"

Parsha, who raised his hand, was about ten years old.But you're a kid again. School means the temple hut I started at the residence.

"Ask the kid.Could you send one more experienced from the elves?I want you to teach me. "

It is impossible for a child who is just good at calculating.An elf favor in times of trouble.And you're going to ask the Beast for something.

"For the rest of the month, I want you to take a request here and make money.Let's think about the management policy of the team while we continue to do it. "

Is this all I should talk about in the meantime?

"So what are we going to do today?"

That's what Karl told me when we stopped talking.

"We'll see what the encampment looks like, we'll talk about the territory, and then we'll have time to deal with you."

Uh-oh, the kids are thrilled.Take a quick look at the sword, and we'll talk about it.

Well then, let's move on now.I'll show you the magic of metastasis. "

Excited kids again. My child is still very tense.

Relax the noisy children and activate Transfer Magic.The target is our stronghold in the Resident Beast area.

"Find the long dolt."

Give Carl that order immediately.Members were notified of the visit in advance, but no contact was made to the residence.I had just come up with a story about the territory, and I thought it would be enough to see how things were going with regard to the place of residence.

Speaking of which, how is Grandma?I don't hear he's dead, but no one bothers to tell me he's fine.I'm getting a little worried.I live just around the corner, so why don't we go check on Grandma first?

When we left the base, the beasts were already gathering, and it was a little noisy.What stands out here are the elves and the Virgin.It is generally believed that the Virgin moved the elf, even if it was an elf that achieved a great deal of battle on the battlefield.

"Why don't you say something?"

That's right. Suggest to Anne that I get to Grandma's house right away.Grandma was sitting in the back of the room as I left the Hiragis quarters.Are you asleep? Close your eyes and don't move.

"Long time no see, Grandma."

My words open my eyes. [M]Good, he's still alive.Well, I can tell because there is a reaction from the perception of signs.

"Oh, oh... Master Masal!"

When he admitted to me, he stood up and rushed quickly, grabbing my hand.You look very well.

"How are you?"

"Even if I was here, I could hear the results.I can't stay old. "

The elves were great.

I nodded with that.

"I know. They say the stranger is an elf, a saint, but both are the daughter-in-law of Lord Masal."

That's what I'm saying. I just laugh.

"I don't mind going backwards.Even if it stands out, it's just a lot of trouble, and there's not much good about it. "

Rather than being good, I almost got killed.

"Really? You're as humble as ever."

"Please don't listen to the aunt either.So how does the place of residence look like? "

"It's pleasant. After Masaru came, I didn't have any trouble eating, and I made houses and wells."

During Bielus' training, I was able to collect enough money with red feathers, but after the Hiragis retrieval operation, I was able to get enough food to rot.It was sent backwards sequentially, moisturizing not only the place of residence, but also the empire and the countries of the South.

"Yesterday, I didn't hear from my fellow countrymen who fought in Hiragis that they were going to make it back safely."

I was prepared to do a lot of damage with the monster's last counterattack, but it seems to have been less unexpected.

"That's good news.It was worth working on the front lines. "

"Speaking of which, when the Northern Fort was in danger, I heard a brave man showed up, but he was the elf who hid his face, right?"

Sounds like it.

"But the more I heard about that activity, the more someone's face came to mind....."

After all, information concealment was too appropriate.I can't help but say it now.

"Ah, that brave guy or something?This is really a private conversation. "

With a serious look on my face, yeah, nod well.Just in case, we're the only ones in this room, okay?

"Actually, I am a messenger sent by God, and I was sent here under a divine mandate to save Hiragis. So....."

That's why I noticed that my grandmother was crying slightly different from the hero.

"Masaru is truly the savior of our Hiragis people....."

And I said thank you again and again.
