I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 138: When you travel to your home for work, your place is almost at home
On the way to Takumi Village, I found and destroyed a dozen or so pig villages, and arrived without any particular problems. Pork meat is an addition to a souvenir to the village. My main souvenir is salt and dried sea fish. Both are difficult to get inland, so you will be pleased.
Christella, Luca, Argna, and Kicca will accompany you on your way home. Samantha and Daisy had Dolton stay for the children who were still unfamiliar with them. I'm going to have the kids run that building alone, but in two days, we won't be able to figure it out.
If you manage your children alone, you may want to teach them a minimum of self-defense, as well as housework. Anyway, this world is tough on the weak. It should be felt by the children themselves more than anyone else. There's a way to send an escort to the Adventurer Guild, but you should be able to protect yourself. Let's take a look around and let them participate in combat training. Let's start with adding Basic Health.
The flat UFO is lowered near the entrance of the village. Who's watching Sage today? Somewhere familiar... oh, the boy among the eleven bought in Border Sets. It hasn't been a year, but I'm a lot taller and fleshy. I didn't know for a second.
They were both surprised and turned their eyes round, but when they saw me coming out of the inside, they turned into convincing faces. That's right. Such a strange object would be convincing if I had anything to do with it. I understand myself, so I'm not angry. I'm not mad at you.
"Sage, I'm home! Where's Mom and Dad?
"Ah, Beat, welcome back! Glenn is walking around in the woods. Saffron's home, isn't he? Is everyone behind you one of yours? I recognize one of them."
Is Dad in the woods? You're not alone in the boulders, but you've expanded into the woods. Is this also due to physical strengthening? I can't affirm everything because the danger increases, but it's good to have more things to do.
"Yeah, that's right. I heard from the village chief. Is there a village chief? If you're there, could you please let me know that you're going home and I'm going to see you?
"Okay. Bean, call your husband. Beat, you can go through."
"Okay."
Yeah, thanks.
Is it the name Bean? A prompted boy runs. Pretty fast. The signs are strong, so I'm sure he'll be able to use some physical enhancements. Takumura's strength seems to be rising steadily. It's good for safety, isn't it? I'm afraid I'll end up like Shura's country. If you don't remember how to strengthen yourself, you won't get a name... right?
Thank Sage for entering the village. Sage will pass through the woo and Christella that follow me, and the barrels of pork and salt that are carried on the clear plane, as if nothing had happened. As far as I'm concerned, I feel like an ant. I appreciate your understanding. Yes, it is.
I just noticed that the fence around the village is widening. The remnants of the previous fence, or the remnants of the pile, remain inside the fence. There was a slight discomfort when I looked from above, but was that because the village had grown? It's refreshing to know why.
Even though the village had grown, the position of the house had not changed to a boulder. The size remains the same. I feel relieved. My mother seems to be in the house.
"Mom, I'm home! I bought you a souvenir!
When I called from the front door, my mom and butterfly ran from the back.
"Ah well, it's a beat! Welcome back!"
"I'm home!... Mother, are you fat?
"This! What are you talking about, this kid! I can see it!?"
My mom, who I haven't seen in a long time, had a little more volume. Mainly torso, forward.
"Eh! Did you have a baby!?"
"Maaa! Congratulations, mother-in-law!
"Congratulations!
"Thank you for that. Really, take Beppin-san with you again! Beat is a sex guy, right?
Her mother thanked everyone with a slight blush.
Mmm, it's the same mysterious dialect. It looks like Tohoku, but it feels a little different. There is no Tohoku in this country in the first place, so it is really a mysterious dialect. I grew up listening to something I don't even understand. What kind of word is that?
But I'm going to be your brother. I don't really know. But in that case, the food souvenirs were correct. I want you to eat a lot and have a healthy child. It would be better to make soap and improve the hygiene after childbirth. Well, I'm glad you're back.
Give her souvenir pork, dried fish, and barrels of salt, and let her leave her luggage temporarily before heading to the village chief's house. We need to check the request first.
◇
"It's been so long, hasn't it? It's been a month, Beat. You have more friends?
"Yeah, since King's Landing. Speaking of which, except for Cristal and Argna? Kikka from the sea elf and Woo from the wolf in the meadow, Luca in charge of housework. There are two other kids who are leaving messages in Dolton, but I'll introduce them again."
"" "Thank you very much." "
Our women bow in unison as if they had practiced. Are you practicing? Kristella looks like she's been practicing. Oh, shit!
"So, I heard you had a favor to ask me, what kind of favor?
Encourage the conversation as if nothing had happened. If you get upset, you lose. I don't know what the game is.
Talking to the village chief is the board room of the village chief's house, which is used as a meeting place in the village. Ah, now that I'm a Vicomte, I wonder if it's going to be the conference room at the Vicomte Mansion?
The village chief sat in the upper seat, and I sat chocolate across the street. Woo-chan is lying on my right side with his head on my lap. Christella and the others are in a row behind me.
The mayor's outfit is the usual Takumi style of leather clothing and leather trousers. I dress the same way. They both dress like nobles, but Takumi Village is like a whole family, so there's no need to be carefree or glorious.
"That's it... actually, there are two. Or so to speak, there are two more."
Unusual, the village chief scratches his head with a nasty face. Hmm, the increase in requests seems to be troubling. Adventurer work is always a hassle.
"First of all, as you know, I was entrusted by the Count with the battle against the Jarkin army earlier. So, do you remember what I told you before?
"Well, if the Vicomte leaves it to you, let the whole village go free from slavery to the people and give them farmland?
"Yes, that's it. So those who have been in this village for a long time are going to give land and let them go. That doesn't change, but then the children who bought it last year become a problem. They'll have to work as my slaves for a while."
Hmm, definitely. Fathers, the ancient slaves have been working as village chiefs for more than a decade. I have heard that I have already earned enough money for liberation simply because I have so far chosen a path that is not deliberately liberated. The children have been working with adults for a long time, so they have a vision of being free.
But the children who were bought last fall are different. We haven't done enough to be free yet. Slavery contracts can only be terminated if they work hard enough to buy themselves back. God is not accommodative.
"So, I'm going to have you work on expanding your farmland so you can let go of it as soon as possible. Fortunately, the children have good memories and are mostly able to use physical enhancements. There is no problem with expanding the field considerably. I'm going to give you a piece of that farmland when you're free."
Well, Bean also seems to remember physical strengthening, and maybe a child will remember it sooner.
I don't feel a bit uncomfortable working with children, but it's quite normal in common sense in this country. I'll have you work hard there. I mean, I work too. I'm here to work.
"So, my job is to open that farmland?
"Well, that's the thing. If we don't get started soon, we won't make it to the autumn harvest. It's going to be next year because I was doing it manually. It's a project that doesn't have to be so hasty, but the younger you are, the easier it is to start over. I want to free you from slavery as soon as possible. You wouldn't take that long."
Yeah, I'm dying of a myocardial infarction once, I'm freed from slavery once, and I'm conveniently starting my life twice, so I know that. I understand very well.
The territory given to the King is said to be about twenty lees (60 kilometers) east and west respectively from this exploratory village, and about thirty lees (90 kilometers) north and south respectively from the edge of the great forest, that is, from the vicinity of this exploratory village to the north. In other words, about 120 × 90 square kilometers. There are no clear boundaries, so it seems to be roughly within range. How appropriate.
Slowly, they want to develop the entire territory or make it a home, but now that there are not enough people, they want to focus on the surroundings of this village for the time being.
The areas I cultivate are on the north and west sides of the village, each about four sides of the football field. I also want you to build a fence, so I estimate a lot and the construction period is about five days. If we only plow, we'll be able to do it in a day tomorrow.
Incidentally, the nomenclature of this request is "assistance in opening farmland", and the category is "procurement". I'm the main one, not the auxiliary one.
"Well, I understand your first request. So, what's the other request?
The village chief tightened his mouth with a little wrinkle between his eyebrows. Looks like a real mess.
"My daughter, Jasmine, is missing. I want you to find him and bring him back."
