We were struck by an unplanned demon raid, but the pioneering is generally going well. With the addition of Luna and the others at the end of the raid, the tidiness was also achieved.

Guess we don't have to get our hands on it anymore. Let's go urge the dispatch of a replacement adventurer soon.

Anyway, I'm going to discuss the last job I've been tasked with.

"Well, let's figure out a way to get rid of Nestor"

In the dining room of Elminsur, that's how I cut it out. Then Irvin squeaks without getting his hair in.

"Are you going to fuck me?

"How can that be... For once, that's not a bad person. I'll make it easier."

Nestor is not a bad guy, just because none of his leaders have the qualities. That seems to be the condition of the bad guys in Mirzia, but if you're just incompetent, you can let them leave. Well, that's the hard part.

"Saying it in peace, you can't make me quit, can you?

"Yes, but there may be some way. In the meantime, I'm going to double-check this country's laws."

When I was pressed into the position of a knight, I also received paperwork on the law. If you read that document, it should also contain rules about the village chief.

We all split up and look through the paperwork.

And on a few sheets, I found the wording that bothered me. Get confirmation just in case.

"Hey, knights are nobles?

"It's a little different, but it's like nobility for once. What's wrong with that?

"It says the mayor of the village is appointed by a lord or nobleman."

My status is the equivalent of a knight. I'm going to decide on my own. Nestor's standing is not the village chief, but the person in charge. I am not yet an official village chief. That means I thought I should appoint someone different.

"... you can't. Unless there's a special reason, it says the person in charge will be appointed as the village chief. It's like a ceremony when nobles appoint you."

Claire explains the paperwork in one hand.

Apparently, when the pioneering village is officially recognized as a village, the ceremony takes place. Appointments are the main event of the ceremony. Let's invite the nobles to do a grand thing, just to talk about it, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the village chief changing.

"Well... then you can't"

"I knew you couldn't do it without telling me to quit from myself..."

As Luna said, the replacement of the village chief is only allowed if the village chief himself announces his resignation. But Nestor would never want to quit. What's the matter......

We celebrated the next day without the proposal being consolidated. It's my solo act today because everyone bought me an investigation into the law and got out. It's everyone's decision that there's no freedom in Pioneering Village, so even I wouldn't cause problems alone. I want you to stop saying things like you always bring back problems... well, it's pretty much true.

I just stepped out of the tent in Pioneering Village and bowled in with Nestor. My tent is outside the village, so it's outside the village. It's still before the morning ceremony, so there shouldn't be anyone there to go that way.

"Morning. Where are you going from this hour?

Speaking to Nestor like that, Nestor stopped.

"Good morning. Now that we have the report, we will go and deliver it to Wang Du."

Nestor in person? Are you an asshole? The crime scene is rough due to demonic raids, so don't let the person in charge leave the scene. I don't care who delivers the report.

No, the report...... here it is! I came up with a good idea for one stone and two birds.

"I'll go. I know someone from the upper management, so I'm gonna need reinforcements."

"That's reliable. Please accompany us."

Oh, I'm in the way. It doesn't make sense to accompany him. Make sure it's properly embellished.

"I'm the only one who's going. You can't follow an adventurer's real run, can you?

"No, but... it's not like the person in charge isn't going..."

"If you're in charge, give them instructions at the scene. Everyone gets in trouble. Just give me the report."

Perhaps the people of this village have been swinging by Nestor the whole time. It's not like we're going to make it.

"Ok...... Please."

Nestor nods unacceptably and gives me a thick envelope containing the report. I threw it in my magic bag and ran out of the village.

Transfer out of the village to the usual room in the royal castle. The king seems to be at work, so he waits a long time until he finishes his job and comes to this room.

After lying on the couch and waiting for a while, the door opened and the king came in. Wake up your torso and speak up.

"Hey."

The king stifles his body as surprised and says in a sigh.

"Why can't they contact me beforehand... I don't know how to use a transcriber."

I certainly don't feel like I can contact you in advance if I use a transcriber. But...

"Trouble. I need to talk to you more than that. Hey, you got a minute?

"Talk? You mean Pioneering Village?

That's what the king said and sat across from me.

"Well, yeah."

"... um, would be good. Alleged"

The real issue is the treatment of Nestor, but if you talk about it first, you might be wary. From a topic that is not obvious for now.

"Firstly, the pioneering is going considerably. I want you to send a dedicated adventurer as soon as possible."

In fact, I want you to hurry this up, too. The jobs we're likely to be able to do are logging and landscaping. I have never had an architectural job and all I have is the knowledge I have gained from exam studies. It can't be useful in the field. I just want to take over and finish the mission.

"Hmm... Earlier reports told us that we were rather behind?

"Things change every day. Architecture is understaffed, with excess land and materials. There's nothing we can do about it. I want the one we're used to."

"I understand. Advise the Adventurer Alliance that way."

Seriously, I want you to hurry, but it's also convenient for the guild... Hurry up a little bit.

"Then, the pioneering village was under attack. A bunch of bears."

"Behold! Are you safe?!? What's the damage!?

The king shouted and pounded the table vigorously, letting his hips float a little. You look pretty anxious, but I want you to guess at a time when I'm not in a hurry.

"We stopped it. Confused, but no harm done"

"Right..."

The king sat back on the couch with a sigh of relief. I'm sorry I'm so relieved, but the king's work is coming up.

"I'm fine now, but I'll be back if I don't take care of it"

For once, we plan to hunt down demons before we leave the village. But there will be more demons in a while. Given the future, it will never last in the current security system.

"Uhm. Now consider increasing the number of soldiers"

"No, I want more adventurers than soldiers. There's no one in the village who can move freely."

Soldiers seem to only guard around the village, so they delay dealing with demons coming from afar. I figured that out in yesterday's raid, so I'd rather have more adventurers who are free to move.

"I understand. Report to the Alliance together. Is that all we're talking about?

No, no, we're going to get to the bottom of this.

This plan threatens to scratch my credibility, but I don't need that much credibility from the king. I don't live in Arencia in the first place, and thanks to the elves, Elminsur is self-sufficient.

Where relations with Alencia were obstinate, it would rather be the king in trouble. That king's been pushing me too much trouble lately. It would be more helpful if you were a little obstinate.

"Next thing you know, I have another suggestion"

"Suggestions. Alleged"

It is about Nestor, of course. But you can never come up with this name. Don't even enlighten me. Let's go with caution.

"There's a guy in the village pulling pioneering legs."

Slow work guys are everywhere, so this way of saying it shouldn't be a problem.

"Hmm... what's wrong with that?

"He's not a serious, diligent, bad guy, but he doesn't seem like he's fit for collective action."

I'm not lying. It is also true that you are serious and diligent. I just can't help but be incompetent. I rephrased that.

"What's wrong with him?

"Any job is fine, so if you have a job that you can do at any time, I want you to introduce me"

"Hmmm... why do you need to look after them like that better?

Whoa, did you get a little alert? If you don't get it right...

"That's what the villagers think. 'It's better to leave the scene,' but there's no other place to go. You'd be pathetic if they hated you and isolated you."

They already hate me. I'm just not isolated in my position. If you isolate yourself in such a small village, it will be difficult to live. The king must understand that too.

"Tell me a little more about it."

I was going to give you the most obvious reason, but you still seem wary. Nevertheless, I don't want to guarantee Nestor's identity...

"He's a healthy man. I don't think I can leave the important work to you because you're a slow worker and not a good applicant. I think I like walking, so I guess I should have a job walking."

Why don't you just present this much specific information? I've said some pretty fine things, but if they don't say it's about Nestor, I don't think he's probably coming pin.

"What's his name?

"Ah... you forgot your name"

I answered instantly. Because I can't tell you. I just have to lose my memory, right?

"If you don't know his name, you can't write a letter of appointment."

"I'll write it later, so I don't mind you leaving it blank there. Pioneering Village is busy, so I can't come here again and again."

That sounds like an excuse... you coming through?

"Um... I only have one job in mind. It's a job nobody wants to do, but still good?

I'm through. All right, I win. I feel somewhat suspicious, but my explanation should not be inconsistent.

"No problem. Thanks for your help."

"I didn't know they were more thankful... what the hell kind of foretaste?

That's the king. That's a good idea.

"What do you think I am? If you thank me, I'll thank you."

Then the king was out of the room and talking to the officials outside. I guess I'm going through the appointment process.

When he received the appointment he could, the king felt niggardly laughing. Are you going to do it? I wonder how much you hate your job......

I greeted the king lightly and transferred to Erminsur. No matter how fast your legs are, I don't think it's possible to make a day trip to Wang Du. In order not to be suspected, it will be the day after tomorrow to go to Pioneering Village.

Well, I'm free this afternoon. As we write down our names in the letter of appointment deposited with us from the King, let's find out what the job is.

The king's job with Nestor is to manage the library. However, he is not a clerk. The job of checking all the books in a small library with no clerks dotted around the country to see if they are missing or damaged.

They say the small library is inside national facilities such as banks and bureaux everywhere, but they hadn't formally decided who would manage it. The book is supposed to be expensive, but it's a lot to deal with.

They say the size of libraries everywhere is less than 1,000 books. If you just want to check and compile the report, it will be over in a day. It's a job to walk around the country, but you're not so busy, just take a year to circle the country.

I mean, this job... I've just been in the carriage for almost a year. What?

It doesn't seem rewarding. I can't even go home, and there's no point in anyone wanting to do it. But Nestor's favorite 'responsible', with all the hard 'appointments from kings' to say no to. Nestor wouldn't say no.

Pass this letter of appointment to Nestor and Nestor's elimination will be a success. Plus, I can push the king and the officials to take care of Nestor, whom I was about to be pushed. That's exactly two birds a stone.

Explaining this plan to everyone, Claire shrugged bossly.

"As always, you're going to do something mean..."

"Really? It's a peaceful solution, isn't it?

No one in the village is in trouble. Even Nestor can be an official without effort, so he shouldn't damage it. Suppose you're in trouble......

"Perhaps the king will resent you"

"Just what I want!

If I punish you for this, you'll push me to work less. Isn't that great? Please resent me.

"How can you be so confident...?

"No, I thought it worked this time."

Peace came to the village anyway, although I have a feeling it went a little too well.

I think the king was caught off guard because I stayed in the king's ruse these days. In a few days, Nestor will appear in the Royal Castle. The king will be surprised. Get out of my way.
