Kaiko Sareta Ankoku Heishi (30-dai) no Slow na Second Life

Dao?

There's no way in front of me, you can go after me. Is that it?

"A terrible number of ideas are being sent to Campbell Street right now. Looks like they're hitting the road opening."

"Opening construction?

"We are cutting down trees, pulling out grass, removing stones large and small, making the soil even on a plane, and making it a street that can pass through large luggage and carriages. We have already infiltrated my hand and we have certainty."

Cermet always works fast.

Well, it's a good idea to make a path.

The question is, where does that road connect to?

"Can I ask you again?

"Campbell Street and the Mithril Mine."

…………

I see, did you come by that means?

It is thanks to the Mithril mine that the village of Lax is now thriving.

And why the Mithril mine leads to the prosperity of the village of Lax, because the mined Mithril is bound to be transported through the village of Lax to the entire territory.

The village of Lax, so to speak, is the aorta of the Mithril distribution route.

It was therefore busy with many people and even built a blacksmith for misthrilling.

The profits those facilities have given me are immeasurable.

Neither that nor this, because none of the passages of Mithril exist except via the village of Lax.

"We've benefited from it. I can't sleep with my feet to the Mithril mine."

"If the path is no longer one, the damage to the village is immeasurable!?"

says the droyer in a hasty tone.

Cermeto still keeps calm on the side he comes to report......

"There will be two misrill transport routes and even a simple calculation will result in half the inflow. Naturally, the Campbell Street route will have a backup of the Chamber of Commerce, so you'll try to flush Mithril's inventory over there with that hand."

"I don't know how much of a burden it would be to just stick with them! The development of the village of Lax will stop!?"

The more you two discuss it, the more anxiety you get, the more hasty the tone becomes.

In my own words, when people like the Chamber of Commerce don't fight with their own hands, when they're on the stage, they already have a way of winning.

I guess this is the arithmetic.

Did you take advantage of the cooperation system by pulling in what makes Lax Village more of an enemy?

It must have been possible to achieve this with major works such as opening the streets, with contributions from the Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise Campbell Street would have started construction on its own.

People and feet are also recruited away by the Chamber of Commerce, and it's hard for us to notice if we send them in directly.

thirst for Mithril and resentment for the village of Lax.

It should be called a major cause caused by those who shared two obsessions.

"I wonder how far the construction is going?

"Looks like we're on a pretty steep pitch. Looks like we'll be opening soon. I wonder if my hopes of settling are faint. On the contrary, it may already be complete"

Then perhaps it was a kind of declaration of victory that the president of the Chamber of Commerce came directly on board this time.

"Your advantage has already collapsed," he said, "and now it's better to follow us without losing it"...

"I can't stay like this! Mayor! Go obstruct construction now! With my earthly magic, I can make a mess of it as quickly as the road!

The droyer says something drastic.

That's right. Should the previous position be called the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army?

"Wait. And calm down."

"But!!"

"Well, listen carefully to me from now on."

In the first place, I've always wondered if the great prosperity of Lax Village today was unnatural.

Everything is made up over a misrill.

If now the Mithril mine disappears again, all industrial commerce will collapse and the village of Lax will revert to its original cold village.

It was already something this village had experienced at least once.

From now on, it is not necessarily that this village will not experience the same difficulties.

No, you should be ready to make sure you come one day.

For that day, I think it's my job as village chief to come up with various proposals and prepare for them.

I told the droyers that...

"Can't you just say that it's an ugly act obsessed with wealth if we stand a chance like that to lose the Mithril mine, panic and try to even obstruct others?

"Ugh...!?"

"That's the kind of people who are jealous of other people's belongings, trying to fool around and plunder them, and if that's not possible, trying to take them away..., aren't they like the Chamber of Commerce and the Campbell Street guys?

"Yes, maybe...!?"

I know how unconvincing Droyer feels.

I really don't want to live in an ugly way, but too clean would be a thought.

It wouldn't be the right world to give profits to the living and dirty.

Even I don't want to keep my mouth shut and let them beat me up.

The point is that even if you are desperate to survive, you will be noble.

Under that philosophy, let's try to think of measures.

… first of all a new transport route about to stretch out of Campbell Street.

"What kind of road exactly is that?

"I'll explain!

Cermeto is handy and has put out a map of the area.

"This is what's going to happen, according to a transmission from a buddy of mine who's letting him infiltrate the scene."

Run an inked pen and write on the map.

A point marked 'Campbell Street' and a point marked 'Mithrill Mine' were joined in a single line.

"Is this...!?"

Much of it, isn't it?

The two points, I thought, would be tied in a straight line with the shortest distance, rather drawing a curve of great turnaround.

This is going to be more than double the distance in the straight line.

"Campbell Street is further away than the village of Lax, even at a simple distance, with even more terrain. There are small mountainous areas around, and thanks to this, some aspects are preventing monsters and other intrusions…"

You're a complete obstacle when you think about the route connecting the Mithril mine.

Am I going too far because I bypass this?

"And I wasn't completely immune to the impact because I bypassed the mountains. Downhill uphill continues on the road. It's a tougher journey than you can see on a map of the plane. Well, I pulled a big load of Mithrils. You expect a lot of difficulty going..."

The traditional Lax Village route is tied almost in a straight line, and I know because I've actually walked myself, but it's almost planar from start to finish.

On the way there are some squares where you can take a break off the side, which I think is a much easier route.

"Compared to that, the newly opened Campbell Street routes are pretty much the same."

"There will be extra baggage and manpower for transport, and transport time will certainly grow. Besides, it's snowing around here in the winter, isn't it?

That was full of problems.

In the first place, Campbell Street could not come aboard such a savory misrill transport while in close geographical proximity.

There was no reason for that.

The reason is that we cannot find efficient transport routes no matter how much we explore.

All the inefficiencies that are hard to see come to mind.

I guess Campbell Street has been frustrated by repeated attempts to develop the route.

The appearance seemed obvious to me.

"Does that make you feel like you could have pushed it through with the big capital of the Chamber of Commerce this time... But it feels like it can only be shaped, far from practical...?

"Relieved...!!"

A droyer that exhales ho.

Certainly too short as a free competition opponent for such a pity.

Even if this tentative route had been put into practice, no one would have chosen the transport route in the village of Lax would be cheap.

"Nah, I lost it worrying! So you can't threaten us with those people after all!!"

"Absolutely! While I was anxious to report it myself, I was relieved to explain myself!!"

Both Droyer and Cermet are perfectly at ease, but I was the only one who was attacked by a feeling that didn't really fall.

That Chamber of Commerce is involved in this road construction.

Even if that organization that cows the commerce of the human race didn't notice this degree of glitch?

It is also out of touch that the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce came all the way to win and be proud.

It was an uncomfortable impression, but I didn't even feel that stupid.

"... you shouldn't be optimistic"

You should strike some kind of hand.
