"Is it enough to just dig a groove and sow it?"

Aisle asked while running north. I guess they have been hit by no-till farming.

"It's an experiment, isn't it? I guess that after 10 years, that farming may be the mainstream."

"Such a thing"

"Have you experimented a lot?"

"That's true. The only place you have to try is where you are together."

"I don't like failure. I might succeed if I don't give up."

My search for Miss Milia has just begun. I hope it goes according to plan.

"Oh, I left it again. Wait a minute."

Looking back at Ayr, the Apenirs were desperately following. Luke on Feehorse is sweating for some reason.

He had a proper conversation and seemed to have made a mistake in adjusting the running speed.

"Let's take a bath when you get to Apenir"

"I'm sweating."

"No, Apenir is a country of isolation. We go to many places and may bring illness that we may not be aware of. It's the same as entering the elf's village. There will be dirt. ''

"I understand that."

The sun is rising in the eastern sky. The grass wetting on the morning dew, which is now being trampled, may become a cover plant that may inhibit weed growth. The world is full of unknown things.

The fog can be seen in the distance when facing north. That is the jungle in the Northern Hemisphere. Apenir has gone further east.

With a break, we proceeded slowly to the northeast.

4 days after leaving the Agricultural Experiment Station. When I crossed the mountain, I finally began to see Apenir buildings.

In the first place, there were no borders and no high walls because there were walls that could not be seen at the equator. He said that he was building a checkpoint in a hurry and was on the way to the Southern Hemisphere.

"Then we're going to clean up everyone next to each other. Could you please do the laundry and bath at the checkpoint?"

"Isn't it okay to enter the bath and the laundry after entering? There's still a town."

Luke said, and got off Fee Horse.

"Going to the southern hemisphere has a lot of demon and darkness. That could be a plague. If you're okay and spread to livestock, you could all be killed."

"If you worship the dark spirits, you have to look at the good and the bad."

When I and Ayle said that, they were all convinced and lined up.

Of course, we may get an unprecedented illness. For now, talking to and interacting with the Apenirs simply doesn't particularly cough or fever.

"Well, you noticed. We were alone dangerous."

Clift said that he had finished cleaning everyone.

"No, I learned while traveling. Not all the dirt was removed in the cleanup, so I needed a bath and laundry."

The scholars looked at their bodies and said, "Wow! The darkness is gone!" The cleanup seems to be a rare magic even in Apenir. Isn't life magic usually raising skills?

Soldiers came out of the checkpoint with equipment designed like a kimono with a breastplate.

Luke explained the situation, watered a large tub, and washed the clothes together. The dust was so great that the water quickly became muddy. It is said that the bath is divided into men and women and can be prepared at a nearby private house.

"I'm sorry. Please say that you are very grateful."

"Oh, I see."

The soldier seemed surprised at what I thanked.

The farmer who rented the private house had to evacuate temporarily until he could take the bath so he could spread the disease. It is a Japanese house with a thatched roof, surrounded by forests, so you must return it before the sun sets. When finished, clean the entire house. There is something like a Buddhist altar in the room, which is the object of praying.

"It's a beautiful house. It's not very dirty. No, it's comfortable."

It may be difficult to work as a cleaning and extermination company in this country.

"It's the teaching of the dark spirits. It's not good to be too clean or too dirty. It's best to live in a cozy home where your heart is calm."

An old scholar told me.

Everyone goes to town after purifying themselves.

I and Aisle are traveling surrounded by Clift and agronomists. It is said that those who have officially entered Japan are the first in 300 years of history.

"I'm sorry, but please endure here. It's a special case in the special case. There is no other way to do this."

Luke walking at the top explained. Fee Horse is kept at the checkpoint.

The town was lined with one-story tiled roofs, and people who went to the town looked at this place without interruption and stopped for a moment. In comfortable pants like Monpe, the top is dressed like a fancy patterned yukata. The pattern seems to be different depending on the family.

"They are allowed to enter the country because of their special envoy. Please open the way!"

Luke says he'll fall aside even on busy streets.

The race is the most common race. Despite the isolation, there are also victims and smuggled vessels from the kingdom of Alice Fey who crossed the sea, and sometimes adventurers and merchants sometimes enter the country. Basically, they are forced to return to their home country, but they will be granted permanent residence after conversion.

It is said that there is almost no discrimination because there is a teaching that darkness is equally accessible to everyone. It seems that Luke is a so-called throwback. Dwarves are rare, so when they were young they were said to be a sign of Kitcho.

We are waiting in a building called Daikansho. Luke and the agronomist each seemed to have a place to report, and went somewhere. All that remains is Clift and Princess Reklia. While waiting in a dark room with a whirlpool, I gradually feel sleepy.

Good!

The laughter leaked because the insect on the belly of Princess Reklia rang.

"No matter what, human belly will decrease."

"President Komulo, do you want to eat something?"

Clift asked.

"Isn't that what Princess Reklia wants to eat?"

"Well, it's chazuke."

Clift ordered his subordinates to prepare the ochazuke. No way, it doesn't mean you can come here and go home.

An Ochazuke with grilled fish demon fillet came out in a bowl.

"Because it is a fresh demon, it does not break the belly even if it is raw."

Clift explained to Aisle who looked suspiciously.

"I see, it's like rice soup."

"It's not at all. This is what you eat."

I put my mouth on the bowl and swiftly squeezed into it. Princess Reklia and Clift lifted the rope in the same way.

"It's delicious! It's so delicious!"

I said so and said, "It's just right for the mouth," Clift said.

"Is Apenir a rice dish?"

"No, I also make bread and noodles because I also make wheat. In the past, I learned how to grow rice when a dwarf merchant ship was in distress.

"Are there many fermented foods?"

"Yes, there are many foods that use the power of darkness.

I wish I had visited earlier.

Later, a deputy arrived with Luke.

"I don't care about anything but Apenir. It doesn't matter how you do it, but that dark hero is also an important princess. Thank you for taking me to Apenir without killing me. Match

The Deputy spoke as determined.

"So how do you really do it?"

I asked the deputy.

"No, I would like to return safely with five bodies if possible. Humbly, mercy!"

The deputy sat down and sat on the floor.

Kata.

There was a sound from above my head. Someone is on the ceiling.

"I will return this as soon as I can drink the condition. Ah, um, listen to those who are behind the ceiling. I hope you can solve the isolation and spread Apenir agriculture to the world."

"Agriculture? Isn't it just solving isolation?"

The Deputy looked at me with a face like a pigeon eating a cannonball.

"Yes, Apenir's agriculture seemed very rare in the world and seemed to protect civilization ahead of the times. Freedom for agronomists to enter the world! Opening a country is a bonus You should be able to come and go freely. "

"No, of course, it's not that a local deputy like me can be decided. I have to report it to the nobles and I'll have to talk to the palace. That's it. "

"I see. Will you come back a week later?"

"One week! It's impossible for one week!"

"I'm saying that I can't do it.

"Very very ... It takes a month to just gather local nobles."

"Will it be two months? In the Northern Hemisphere, I want you to decide by the end of winter, before the new year. Princess Reklia will want to return soon."

"Until the new year !?"

He was surprised, but did not say that he could not.

"Luke, could you write down any concerns you may have before opening the country?"

"Okay! Someone with a paper and a brush!"

Clift's subordinate brought paper and a brush, and then ink.

"Is it OK?"

"Good luck"

"I'm sick at first. There may be a plague that wasn't in Apenir before. For that, I think it's best to make a port with a magical cleanup at a port or at a checkpoint. It would be nice to make another inn. ''

Luke seemed to be well educated and wrote without delay.

"And then, tariffs. Watch out for the influx of local products and technologies and the influx of cultures from other countries. It's a good idea to decide on a balance. There is a possibility that some people will enter the country, so customs will be required. ''

It would be better to take measures against drugs and crime.

"The rest is about the civil war. Some people do not always agree on the opening of a country. If there is a disagreement, some people will not refuse to fight. I want you to do it. ''

"This is another difficult thing"

Luke ran the brush with a blur.

"It's certainly difficult. But think twice. Greater Plains to the north, Great Plains to the west, Alice Fey over the sea to the east, and Apenir are surrounded by land. If there is a supply point here, it is needed from every country. Conversely, if you leave isolation, you will make a big detour. Even if I do not open the country, the surrounding countries will soon come close. "

Aisle expanded the map to complement my story.

"Also, weapons are being developed in other countries, so the style of war will change. However, there is a choice not to fight with trade and cultural exchanges rather than spending the state budget on military spending. Isn't it cheaper and creates diversity? "

"There we have no objection."

"Diverse, it fits the doctrine of the dark spirits."

Luke and his deputy are turning away.

"The nation is just a container, the same as the soil. You know well that the plants blossom because of the work of darkness in the soil. Darkness is the people of Apenir. The northern and southern hemispheres Right now, I'm asking the Apenirs, who are near the equator at the most important points, to make wise decisions. ''

When I finished talking, Luke and the deputy both crossed their arms and looked up at the ceiling. Someone on the ceiling seems to have left.

"I have to gather nobles."

Luke said so and went out of the post office.

"We seem to have misunderstood the outsider."

The deputy said the same thing as Mr. Clift.

"President, what will you do next?"

Clift asked.

"Let's take the princess back to the Southern Hemisphere."

"Take me home. When this happens, it's quickest for me to talk to my father."

Princess Reklia has begged.

"Sure, it's the fastest."

Clift agreed.

"No, but Princess is a negotiator for opening the country. That's impossible."

"Then take the hostage exchange. You can take as many agronomists as you like."

"Hmm, then I'm in trouble"

Honestly, I don't care about the assassination attempt. Personally, the opening of a country saying "extra" is my favorite. You have to be able to get in and out freely.

"Why? The aim is to spread agriculture."

"For the world"

Clift doesn't know my plan.

"Then, one day! Give me back only one day. If I tell my father everything, I'll be back and be hostage!"

Princess Reklia still begging.

When I saw Aisle, I sighed big.

"I'll go with you. I'm going to have a bath and toilet."

"What? ... what?"

Clift didn't seem to understand what Ayl said.

"I said I'd do a princess charm for only one day. Bad, but I can't be so human. If you have a suspicious person or a stupid person, one or two arms with no questions asked. I'll cut it out.

"But for those who don't know who ..."

When the Deputy spoke, he saw his detective skills coming back over the ceiling.

The next moment,

Zang!

I thought the Isle's sword had been pulled out, and the ceiling of the government office blew off and I could see the blue sky.

"It's like this."

Everyone is stunned.

Aisle tied Princess Reklia with a rope and hit her ass to guide her, "Hey, let's go. There's only one day."

"That's the Vice President of the Comlo Company. I can't stop it, so you should contact everywhere."

Mr. Clift and his deputy nodded many times, and began to panic.

"Okay, I'm looking for a dark spirit."
