I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
Episode 252 Ellie's home visit and various reports
Your brother-in-law welcomed us even though he visited without an appointment.At first, he was my brother-in-law, who was extremely vigilant about me, but before I met him many times, he basically realized that I was a harmless adult.
No, I'm always sorry.
Transporting supplies is also a welcome factor.Food is sufficient, but other condiments or everyday items need to be imported from outside the territory.We supply periodically at the border, and even if we need to cross steep mountains, it won't be easy.
During the Hiragis War, Ellie seems to have been transporting supplies.Normal item boxes consume a lot of magic to transfer, but not much from Ellie's magic, which can transfer 100 people together.
This time, I was in charge of transportation for the first time after Hiragis, so I decided to return from the mine and bring in a large amount of supplies.I'm in a good mood, to say the least.
Food first. It doesn't matter if it's enough or if there's any extra food.The main one is meat. Hiragis is overflowing with trouble to dispose of.Then grains, vegetables, and fruits. During the summer to autumn season, I buy things that are just in the harvest season in the Imperial Capital, and then I repair some souvenirs for my brother-in-law and his family from my Elf Castle treasure trove.
"Is that so good?"
"It's okay, it's okay.The mine is quite lucrative. "
"It was a sudden day, so that's all, but I'll buy as much as I need!"
Considering the quantity and distribution in the village, there is not so much for one person.There are currently three villages in Blanza territory.The original village and the village created by attracting Hiragis evacuees.And a village for mine workers to live in.In order to get everything done well, you still need to buy large quantities on a proper procurement route.
"The clean-up of Hiragis has finally settled down.There will be a festival in the Imperial Capital soon, won't there?I thought I'd take it slow until then.If there's anything I can do for you, I'm here for you. "
"We also built a base in the Imperial Capital, so let's all go play together next time."
"Massar, it's not good to make you work too hard."
"It's okay, oniisama.I have to get back what I've been really busy and couldn't help. "
Immediately after training in Bielus, it was a war in Hiragis.Rather, I was surprised that Ellie could afford to come and see him several times during the Hiragis retrieval operation.
"So today it's about the mine.There's been a lot of movement, so I wanted to talk to you. "
Regarding mines and mining villages, your brother-in-law receives reports, and Ellie is in charge.It is because of Ellie's leadership in attracting people and in construction work, but it is a long way off in the village of Blanza, and it is a difficult distance to go back and forth.It would be easier for Ellie to check on the transfer and report it to her brother-in-law, and it would be well managed.
"Oh, I hear you want to grow more iron."
"I think we're on track to increase production."
That explains the launch of a production line using fire magic.
"Normally there were quite a few spare elf fire wizards.If you burn it all at once with plenty of magic, you can make a lot of iron in less time than you would normally burn fuel. "
Moreover, the cost is overwhelmingly low because the fuel cost is not needed.The dwarf also seems to use fire magic as an aid, but there is a lack of power to use it as the main firepower. This is probably a way to run a mine that can't be done other than elves.
"That will increase my income considerably....."
Ellie is about to say, but the story is still early.
"It's also income, but it's a way to use the increased iron production.The elf has devised a castle wall that is about three times stronger than the usual steel bars. "
Brief description of the reinforcing bars. That elves are going to provide the technology to countries around the world.This will greatly increase demand for iron in the future.
"Reinforcement of the walls? Can we do it anywhere?"
"Sure, let's make it a priority."
As long as it is iron, the effort is the same as building a castle wall.Next time, we need to talk to the Elf Technician and find out how to build the Reinforced Castle Wall.When I do it, the ratio of iron becomes appropriate.
Hiragis is also a priority, but the origin of iron should naturally be favoured.Almost all of the iron used in the Elf Village has been produced in the Blanza mine and collected from the market, so it seems that it needs to be refilled to some extent as construction progresses.
Your brother-in-law lowers his head lightly, thanking you for that.Now, that's the point.I don't think Ellie's willing to open her mouth just because she left it to me.
Your brother-in-law might as well live in peace if you didn't have to say so.But your brother-in-law is going to report to the Imperial Government to coincide with the fall festival about the new mine.If sooner or later you'll find out, you'd better hurry.
"Earlier Ellie was talking about income or taxes...."
That's how I remove the letter and dagger from the item box.
"Imperial Royal Sigil?"
First of all, I seem to have noticed the dagger, but I urge my brother-in-law to look at the contents of the letter.
"Emperor's Permit. Masaru Yamanos, on behalf of Emperor Garay, for all convenience....."
I just realized that it's in the name of Emperor Garay.I'm sure Wildpa told me to take over power even if he succeeds the emperor.
My brother-in-law said when he read the letter, he looked at me, looked at the letter, and looked at me again.
Masaru, I have no idea what that means.
I would think so if I could show you something like this from my brother-in-law's point of view without any explanation.
Your brother-in-law's complexion woosh.I saw something. No, you're convinced....
"Actually, there was a little trouble with the Empire, and the letter was sent by His Majesty the Emperor to apologize."
"Trouble with the Empire!? The Emperor apologizes!?"
The voice turned around, and your brother-in-law is about to collapse.
"You've already solved the problem completely.That's why oniisama doesn't have to worry at all. "
That's right. If Ellie told me, I wouldn't feel safe.
"So you've also been exempted from taxes on these mines.It's a permanent exemption. In addition, new development is tax free! Isn't that amazing? "
But your brother-in-law didn't think it was amazing.
"Yes, that trouble is...."
"Look, there was Will, right?"
Will was often attached to Ellie's escort, so he didn't appear in a helmet all the time, but his brother-in-law knows his name.
"He is actually the son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Will the official way of calling it be His Highness Wang Tai Sun?
"Prince Wang... Lord Commander-in-Chief of the Landes Imperial Army!?"
Yes, yes, nod. Your brother-in-law has trouble breathing when he says he's just listening.Is that okay with you now?
"What is this letter with Prince Will...."
Yeah, the point is, that's where the trouble starts.Pretty exciting, huh?
"When Hiragis calmed down, Will... Prince Wilfred returned home and sent him to the Imperial Castle.That was three days ago. "
Rescued the next day, followed by a ceremony at the royal castle this morning.Thinking about it, didn't Ellie have time to report to her brother-in-law?
I was caught in a trap for a metastasizer on my way home.It was Wildpa who captured me and tried to enslave me.When I asked the Elves for help, and they asked the Empire to return me with an envoy, the Empire refused, and the Elves and the Empire were on the verge of war.
"Wait, wait!"
Yes, wait.
"You didn't have a war, did you?You solved the problem!? "
We continue by saying that the war has been averted.Sati got into the royal castle alone and rescued me.
"Does that mean I went to visit the royal castle and ask you to let Masaru go?"
Say such a thing while watching Sati.
"I got in. Arm yourself from the front."
"From the front, armed? The royal castle?"
Your brother-in-law returns the parrot.
"You've heard the legend of Kensei, right?The anecdote of defeating all the soldiers and knights who stood in the way, and then returning to the king to sue him. "
Your brother-in-law looks at Sati in an incredible way.
"Before going to Hiragis, Sati was awarded the title of Swordsmaster by Kensei.That's already strong. "
Soldiers, knights, royal guides, General Eldo and the Knights of the Guard.Destroying all of that led Sati to the Emperor.
It was good until I told the Emperor to give me back my sword, but I was being held hostage.
"I'm supposed to win, but don't you think it's terrible?"
Tell your brother-in-law that Sati wants his consent.As for Sati, he still seemed unconvinced that he had won when he arrived at the emperor and was back in five minutes.
Wilpa decided to abandon the emperor when both sides were held hostage.I ordered my men to defeat Sati because the Emperor had a sword pointing at him.
That was a pretty good decision to make while talking, I think so.Sati had lost touch with me when he took me hostage.Wilpa made a decision to cut off Will's grandfather, but Sati couldn't cut me off.If Will hadn't appeared, Sati might have been overwhelmed with nothing to do.
But only on the spot.It would have been bad after that.I'm not going back. Without knowing the whereabouts of Sati, Lilia would not have hesitated to wage war against the Empire.
In that case, it would be delicate if Will would have stopped things.One wrong step would be catastrophic.
I don't blame Lilia for her judgment.I'm acting at my own discretion, but I don't trust ex-Night's judgment very much.So we let everyone be as free as possible except for some things such as deities, and we also go to family meetings to listen to everyone's opinions.Because I think things would be better that way.So far, it's never been fatal.
I thought it might have been too quick to go to war this time, but now that the discussion has broken down, we have to use our strength, and there are no other countermeasures.Well, even when it comes to warfare and the exercise of power, there was no intention at all to suddenly engage in all-out warfare or genocide as Lilia, and it seemed to me that if I threatened lightly, I would surrender to the Empire.
In fact, the power of the protective wizard is overwhelming for Kensei and his swordsmen.On the other hand, the Imperial side suffered, and the battle would have ended with an elf victory.In fact, the Empire could not stop Sati alone.
"And Will appeared in a touch, and he put me there."
Happy birthday.
"... yeah? How does that lead to this?"
My brother-in-law told me that when I finished talking.I think it's a bit too fragile. I have to say I'm a brave man or something to talk about, but the Empire knows a great deal about me.Speaking of borders, it is only a matter of time before rumors reach here.
"Actually, I've been called a brave man by everyone around me.Will said that... "
After all, I was able to use my maneuver, and Sati, who reacted instantly to it, helped me cut off the collar of my slave well, and finally walked back from the imperial castle, so I finished talking this time.
"Brave man? Masaru?"
"Yeah, well, brave or brave... almost brave?"
Masaru is an apostle. I've always followed the Divine Command.The Empire tried to capture the messenger and enslave him. "
"And I failed and escaped.The temple must have been furious. "
"That's why the Emperor himself immediately came to apologize and bowed his head.This and mine tax exemption. "
Emperor's Permit and Permanent Exemption from Taxes.You don't have to tell me about the Orihalcon sword and Will's sister.
"Wait, the Emperor lowered his head!?"
"I had a friendship ceremony with Elves that day, and I appealed to the surroundings that my problem had been solved, and this incident was handled.I went to the temple this morning, but I didn't see any trouble with the Empire. "
I'm not sure how much information the temple has, but you've decided that I'm not going to say anything more than I've made a mistake.Or maybe my story was too shocking and I forgot to talk.
"But when His Majesty lowered his head...."
Your brother-in-law seems to be trembling and completely frightened.The complexion has completely disappeared.
"There's no more grudge.I told you about the reinforcing bar.His Majesty was very pleased when he promised some other technology, and at the ceremony at the royal castle, the people of the castle and the empire would be safe and sound if the brave men were on their side. "
However, only Wilpa will be offered a year of training in the Holy Land, and there may be many things to think about.
"So there's nothing to worry about?"
But when Ellie said that, it must be helpless that your brother-in-law doesn't feel restful at all.
"What kind of face should I look like and go up to the royal castle..."
After a while, my brother-in-law finally calmed down.
"Shall I go on my behalf?"
It is common for the proxy to operate in the Imperial Capital even if the Lord is unable to move in the Territory.Especially in the border area, which is a distance from the Imperial Capital, and the baron's status is still low, I go to the Imperial Capital several times in my life and I hear about it.
This visit to the royal castle was reported because of the increase in mines and villages.However, since both are only tax-related administrative procedures, it should not be seen by the Emperor, but it is a brave brother-in-law's position.I don't know what's going on.
"I'll think about it, Ellie...."
"I'm really sorry, I don't want to bother your brother-in-law at all, but in my position, I have to influence every aspect."
"Let's think about the good side, oniisama.Thanks to Masaru, I was able to make money in the mine, and the village could be bigger, right? "
The money Ellie has earned since she met me has allowed me to pay off my debts all at once.The size of the village has tripled, with revenues from the mines, and the earnings of the territory have reached a scale that cannot be reduced by 10 times.It's a good thing. But your brother-in-law doesn't seem so happy.There is no improvement in complexion at all.
"Ellie, I am. When my father falls and loses his territory, I won't be in trouble with the golden circle anymore.I was determined to live as peacefully as possible in the future. "
I get it. I get it. Live in peace and relaxation while developing your territory in the countryside, valuing your time with your family.It's an ideal life.
I messed it up.Moreover, the people in trouble are the emperor and the next emperor, the supreme power in the country.
"I was even thinking of abandoning my nobility without my debts and my people.
That's it. "
Your brother-in-law adds that he has never spoken with his people or family.
No, I'm really sorry. And now that you're involved with me, there's no doubt that there will be any trouble in the future.
"Oniisama was also born a Brunza boy and is now the main player.I need you to be prepared. "
"I know, I know, but...."
That's how you look at me, but there's nothing you can do with me.Your brother-in-law has trouble that is completely out of your control.What would have happened if this incident had not ended peacefully?Even without any sin, our associates are bewitched by the supreme power of the Empire.As your brother-in-law, you won't feel comfortable living.But I can't say easy words of consolation.
"It may cause some trouble in the future."
The world will be in turbulent times in the next 20 years.If you want peace, you can only get it with your own hands and power.
My brother-in-law looks desperate in my words. [M]My stomach is starting to hurt when I catch you.
"So let's strengthen the village first, oniisama.And you make a lot of money. "
With money in this world, most things will work out.
"Yes, as long as I'm alive, I keep telling you what to do with my bad luck, but this way I get support and life is much easier."
Do what you can to survive.
"Yes, if we go to Masaru, we can get back the destroyed Hiragis."
"You're a brave man..."
Your brother-in-law finally came to think carefully about the meaning of the word.
"Masal, you're in trouble, too, right?"
It's not hard, really.I thought so, but I just nodded without saying anything.I feel like complaining to my brother-in-law, but there are other things to prioritize now.
"It's tough, but let's take care of everything right now, brother-in-law.First of all, iron. I was wondering if we could find a new mine of iron around here again. "
