The town of Raccoon is one of two towns in Fleetberg territory.
The most developed is the town of Fulcus, but I would say the second-largest base. Compared to the fact that the town of Fulcus is on the border with the nearest Andou territory, the town of Raccoon is located closest to the territory of Mokanate.
Both are necessary towns for Fleetberg territory.
……
Such, the town of Raccoon is independent of Fleetberg territory.
That is a devastating blow to the territory. Because the tax revenues of the town of Raccoon will be as much as 30% of the total Fleetberg territory.
"Mayor Josh, are you serious about that?
"Naturally, Mayor Andrew. In the first place, didn't Mayor Andrew also say when your lord first took office?"
"... that's true, though"
"I am the mayor of Raccoon. We have a duty to protect the townspeople. And all the townspeople are proud to be Emperor Nationals. If that suddenly becomes the Union, there will undoubtedly be confusion."
……
Mayor Josh tells me so.
Indeed, there would be confusion if we told them, born as imperial citizens, that the country to which they belong would suddenly change.
But...
"So, Mayor Josh, through Fleetberg territory, what are you going to do"
"Right. May I speak to the Lord of the Mocanate? Our town is quite moist. You won't be turned down."
"But......!
"In the first place, I always thought it was disgusting, such as using skeletons for the workforce. The townspeople also have a lot of followers of 'Ecclesiastical', and Skeleton Horse? Was it? That scheduled flight is also the current situation where the townspeople are complaining."
"Hmm..."
Sure, I did offer skeletons to the countryside, but I haven't done much against the town of Raccoon. At best, that's enough to adjust Skeleton Hose's regular flights to go through.
In the first place, neither the town of Fulcus nor the town of Raccoon was a town that had been in black since before I took office as lord, and I didn't have to put it in poorly.
So in the town of Raccoon the undead hasn't penetrated yet. One thing I haven't noticed before is, for one thing, my clue.
"Besides, I haven't been in the town of Fulcus in a long time, but you've been building disgusting objects in the park for a long time. I don't understand the spirit that adorns such a large skeleton."
……
"That's why the town of Raccoon leaves Fleetberg territory. Are you sure about that? Lord."
"... right"
Big, sigh.
The mind of Mayor Josh, it seems, has already been decided. And that's probably the totality of the town of Raccoon.
Skeletons were accepted because they were only rural areas gasping for poverty. If I tried to make it a rich Raccoon town from the start, I think it was just a disgusting existence.
You mean it's no use convincing me any more?
I can't help it, the town of Raccoon...
"You're kidding me!
But just before I snort.
Bang, and it was the village chief Elysio of Bath who knocked on his desk and stood up.
I couldn't help but notice the momentum.
"Don't say your lord's skeleton like that! We'd all starve to death if your lord hadn't given us skeletons!
"... Mm"
"You're disgusting. You can't tell me if my mouth rips! It was Skeleton who saved us!
"Certainly not!
Standing up in tune with the Elysio village chief was the Patch village chief in the village of Secchi.
And with that voice, each of the other village chiefs rises.
"We did ask your lord to help us where we would die. There are no young ones, and the farmland is full of wasteland. I was only old."
"All the workers went out toward the town. There were no young people, and the amount of crops was dwindling."
"Thanks to Skeleton's presence, we can live like humans. We can do our job without starvation."
"We have been able to revive the doomed village thanks to your lord. Really, it's all thanks to Skeleton"
"Your lord saved us! Your lord has made up his mind! We obey with all our hearts!
"Oh, I don't care what you say..."
"Everybody..."
Stuck by the eight risen village chiefs, I can see Mayor Josh fluttering.
Mayor Andrew was also nodding, yeah. In this space, Mayor Josh is completely isolated.
And I was impressed by the words of the village chiefs who trusted me so much.
"Be good, Mayor Josh!
"Duh, what..."
"In the future, we will end any dealings with the Chamber of Commerce in the town of Raccoon! Everything, make a deal with the Chamber of Commerce in the town of Fulcus!
"What the hell!?
To the words of Mayor Elysio, Mayor Josh rises.
From town, this would be a blow. Even the townspeople will need a meal, and it's in the countryside that they make the vegetables and wheat they eat.
If we're going to cut off any of that deal, it means the townspeople can't eat.
"If you don't like it, withdraw your foreword! Don't ever call our lord's skeleton disgusting again!
"Ugh... but the 'sacrament'..."
"We were all killed by that 'sacrament'!
……
To the words of Mayor Elisio, Mayor Josh loses his word.
Faith is free. Never a push. Although.
Mayor Josh's "ecclesiastical" is a clear Fleetberg enemy.
"Wow, I get it... For today, let me take it back..."
"When your town falls out, even if the Chamber of Commerce comes to our village, we will drive you back!
"Well, I get it..."
Are you still angry, Elysio? Sit like the village chief is restless.
And the interchangeable Mayor Josh held his head as he sat down. Exactly, I guess it was unexpected to be told that we would cut a deal from the village, etc.
Phew, and exhale small.
"Thank you, Elysio Mayor"
"I don't mind. We have been saved by your lord."
"Oh... I'm glad you think so"
Kohon, and one cough.
And I stunned everyone.
"Then we shall take a vote"
"Ha"
"Fleetberg territory will henceforth gain asylum in the Heilhorn Union. Those in favor raise their hands."
"Agreed"
Nine hands up in my words.
The only thing that didn't go up was Mayor Josh's hand.
But the word "opposite" did not come out of its mouth.
Later, Mayor Josh himself came to me and accepted my compliments to the Heilhorn Union.
After all, if we were to cut off any deals from the village, I guess there was nothing else to follow.
But now everything is ready.
