I was banished from the brave party, but I'm glad you nestled out of me. I can't help him if he asks for it in the future, but I'm sure you guys will be fine. So, Grand Virgin, I'm in trouble for you to come after me?

134. Developed villages and stunned landmasters. And the wind and the clouds suddenly say goodbye.

- Count Land's viewpoint -

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This

"Yeah, really..."

I visited Orti village for the first time in a while and wrapped my tongue around it. [M]I have one of my men with me, but I feel the same way.

"Oh dear, in front of that hero named Ariake, is it because I feel like I just have my tongue wrapped around me?"I do things that ordinary people like me can't reach. "

No, that's not true.

Follow me.

However, even if I were not a weak and frivolous count, I would have to take a look at what he did.

A few months after Ariake, the mayor of Orti village, asked for a friendly agreement and a deal.

In that short period of time, the village developed significantly.

No, technically.....

“This is no longer a city."I didn't expect so much help from the Great Sage..."Do you say it's as rumored, or more than that? ”

Well, it's too diagonal for your imagination, right?

My men told me what they thought.

As expected of Ariake Mihama.

Stroll around and look around.

It may be overstated that it is the capital of any kingdom, but various races are disturbed, including well-maintained streets, clean roads, vibrant commerce, and adventurers, beasts, and elves.

And they live there without any inconvenience.

I asked the residents how they lived.

"I respect the village chief in a free place where there is no discrimination or irrationality."

"It's the most livable village on the continent."

"I'm free to do whatever I want, but I'm a weirdo who casually calls out to adventurers, and I'm a weirdo who can drink a lot of booze."

And all I could hear was that voice.

The final piece of advice is the voices of those rough adventurers, who are all boneless.

Only he (Ariake) says that he is "completely different" from the other lords.

Yeah, it's a nice village.

You're Ariake-sama, aren't you?

His subordinates also praise Ariake as a matter of course.

In the village, both the vigilante who controls crime and the user of the sacred spear called Laccarée are working hard, making it an ideal city with a very low crime rate.

"And above all, the village chief..." No, it was more obvious than to look at the fire that the internal affairs policy and foreign affairs of the hero Ariake were producing this outcome.

What he did was to remove the lesions that had been nesting throughout the village and to heal them.And the fact that new blood was swiftly circulated throughout the body.It was just these two points.

However, I don't think he was the only one who could have uncovered the village's lesions and quickly brought in the money and flow of people that are the village's lifeline.

“You know what? Surprisingly, his first project in the village was to attract adventurer guilds and finance... the so-called lending to poor farmers."

"Amazing. The idea of lending to the poor is unusual in the first place, and it's not usually something you can think of."

It's true.

However, there is a profound desire for him to be hailed as a wise man.

“If he or his Sage Party were to come directly to his senses, it would have made the village grow.”

However, I was convinced that it was only the development of "there".

Yes. The village must be built and developed with the help of all the villagers.

“The hero named Ariake was only there to help and guide the villagers, and he was committed to building a system for villagers to be autonomous.I only held myself to give the villagers the means to stand on their own.This would have been impossible if he hadn't been such a thoughtful person. "

That's right, you're a wise man.

"With his internal affairs policy, adventurers gathered in the Adventurer's Guild first, and the peasants took the request fee firmly.The adjustment of interest with the lender's church seems to have been well adjusted by the power of the hero Ariake.Only one thing that must not fail is that it determines the flow of money. Even where the leader Ariake leads, it is evidence that he understands what is the most important point in internal affairs and financial affairs. "

“He's such an amazing man, but is he originally a politician?”

"I thought so too."I don't have that kind of experience. "

Is that just one of your versatile talents?

His men looked stunned.

Well, that's how it feels.

One of his talents is that he is a super-politician.

Anyway, the village was freed from the immediate threat of monsters and the fear of starvation due to the ravaged fields.

"The next thing we did was trade with the Elves."The deal with the Elves must have been broken for the last 100 years or so, but it's been brought back to life. ”

"That's also... a case in the history book, isn't it?"

"He's surrounded by all sorts of incidents."

I can't help but smile bitterly.

Rumor has it that this hero has already made a personal friendship by saving the Elf Forest crisis.

"As a result, we import high-quality wood, which is not normally available on the market, and form an export industry as a building and processing product.Elf materials can also be used, and the multitude of craftsmanship is creating industrial diversity. "

If this were to happen anymore, it would be more of a city than a village... "No, it's a small city, but if it exists like this, it's the most developed city on the periphery... and in a sense, it's a territory.

"And although we are really lucky, the village of Orti and the adjacent county of our land are making huge profits as their most important trading partner."In order to trade with the village of Orti, it is necessary to pass through the village (Count of Land), so the money falls in the process, and it would be greatly profitable to import the specialty products of the village of Orti and export them to other territories. ”

Thanks to you, I'll be able to repay my debts for years.

"Oh dear, if a hero becomes a friend to develop the village, this kind of thing will be shown in various ways."This is the work of the great sage Ariake. "

"But one more thing. Sometimes I think I'm more flattered....."

Oh, you're a human resource.

I agree.

In addition to the hero Ariake, there are nine of the most powerful executives in this village.

"Great wise man. I think it is because I am a wise man that talent gathers in admiration of a man named Ariake."

Alicia Lundeburg...... head of the medical department in the village.Unnoticed Brigitte Church Sequence Third Place

Colette Dubrovnik... the youngest princess of the Geschpent Dragon. It is the strongest being, and its very existence is a deterrent.

Rakkalai Kelburg... the chief of security of the village.The user of the Holy Spear with a strong sense of justice.

Fenrir... a wolf of wisdom that is said to have lived for 1,000 years.As a matter of fact, hero Ariake's best counseling partner.And I heard a rumor from the wind that teasing jealous Alicia was my hobby these days...

Brigitte Ratateko... a girl with the same name as Brigitte, but many devout believers give it that name.He's got a strong voice in Brigitte, and Ariake, the hero, is joking about Brigitte himself.

Lorelei Canaria... rumor has it she's the daughter of Lislette, number two in the church sequence, and she's supporting the medical department with Alicia.

Bashuta Citro...... Chief Information Officer. There are many mysterious people flying around the country, but the hero Ariake relies on them.Ariake has made it clear that the recent resurrection of the demon Fortuna in the Holy City of Septeno will not be solved without his help.

Maou... a village foodie with a strange name, immersed in an inn.

Guildmaster Osim... the person who appealed to the upper echelons to reject the achievements of Ariake, the hero who was originally supposed to be demoted to the e-rank, was highly regarded for his foresight.It seems that there was a question about the status of the Royal Guildmaster, but he kicked it and went to the wild village of Orti, which was invited by the hero Ariake.

Well, this is how it is, and the talent is amazing anyway.

Lislette Arcanon, second in the church, was famous as a talent maniac, but she was flattered to say, "That person is a maniac."

It's amazing how popular it is to envy the top of the church.

Well, that said...

I sigh. [M]

Actually, I've been in trouble before. [M]

I found time several times, came to this village of Orti and was taken care of by the inn "Anmitsu", but I had the opportunity to have several conversations with the hero Ariake.

Maybe I was drunk then. [M]I've said a lot of things I think about.No, that's another point he hates.

That's when I said,

"I envy you. [M]Ariake-san, you're going to make that village look so good again.Excellent talent. Compared to that, I am only the Count who has succeeded to this insidious territory, and I have not developed at all since.I was weak and lacked the ability to execute.It's very different from you. "

That's what I said.

Even if I exhaled such a soft sound, I could still snivel with my nose. Well, I ended up being comforted face to face. It was a statement that I thought would be like that.

But...

Is there something you can't do with weakness?

Ariake replied in a truly strange way.

He gulped down his strong liquor.

"I'm not a politician, so I'm sorry if I said something out of place..."I think, Count Rand, your weakness is the most important quality for a lord. "

"Vulgar... qualities?"

I was surprised. [M]

My parents were tough people, and I was not to be scolded or praised for being weak.Even before I died, I died worrying about my weakness.

So I couldn't understand his words at first.

"There's no such thing as weakness, is there?"Are you kidding me? "

Maybe he was a little angry.I thought you were making a fool out of me.

But it was different.

And after all, in the true sense of the word, he left this village...

No, it wasn't just this village, it was the one with the tools to rule this country and the continent.

"If the lord is strong, the landlords will be troubled."Unwinnable wars and wars.As a result, there is a strain somewhere.It will come down on the weak, in general.I saw your country.Not wealthy, but everyone seemed happy.I live every day as a matter of course.That's because you didn't do what you thought was reckless, and you didn't do anything.I don't think we're going to start a war or endanger our territory.He did not impose heavy taxes to force the harvest, nor did he collect iron, lose the forest, and sink the country due to natural disasters.Prudent and weak like you. [M]Because I am a wise lord, my people can live without hunger in this peripheral land. "

I said that as a matter of course.

And it goes without saying that I was stunned again by that opinion.

His knowledge was far beyond the knowledge of the scholars there.Too scholarly, no, it was wisdom that made use of knowledge... the so-called living scripture wrapped its tongue in a wise man named Ariake Mihama.

At the same time, it was the first time that I was recognized.

That's why I still remember that time.And I vow to be a weak and boring politician.If you hate impossibility and only do what you can, my people will not starve to death.

And at the same time, I think this is also the case.

Even though the hero is so powerful, he understands how the weak are.

I thought that it was actually the most deserving ruler.

And that's when I was drowning in thoughts.

Message!

My men scowled in front of me in a desperate shape with a blue face. [M]

Yeah, what bad news?

"I'm sorry!"

The messenger raised his face at once.

"A horde of demons is advancing through the Southern Forest!"That number is about ten thousand! "Our territory is in that direction!"



Why is there a demon king army on this periphery!?

The demon king army must have been fighting on the northern continent.

Moreover, there was little point in aiming at such a territory far from the capital city.

But,

"There's nothing I can do to bother you."Let's hurry up, like a weakling. "

Having received the news, I ran away in less than a second. [M]

"Count, where are you going!?"

It's decided!

I don't have to answer.

I'll do it.

There are the greatest heroes in this village that I should rely on because I have no courage, no courage, no strength.

"Let's go to Ariake Mihama, the greatest sage on the continent!" Follow me! "

My powerful voice resounded in the village. [M]
