My sister and I moved around the world until I unified the continent to protect my sister.

Though not exhaustive, there were certain (rare) prospects for all of the funds, people, and bases. I think we've got some connections.

So I finally decide to move towards the liberation of all the elves I promised Lynne.

Even so, it's just within this country first.

There are three problems that I consider in my quest to liberate all elves.

First, a place to house a huge number of elves and secure food.

The second is how to free the Elves and bring them to the Great Forest and the Mine.

What will the third do with the work that Elf's slaves have ever held in human society? It would be a little distressing if human slaves were to bury them instead.

When we consider these in turn, we start with where to let them live and securing food.

When I gathered information from Eina and Listella, it was said that the only number of elves being enslaved was in this country, which would be between 400,000 and 500,000.

100 times the mine at peak time.

According to the pharmacist, 100 years ago, when the Elves and the people still had little contact, there were 31 Elves villages that were now in the realm of Viscount Parklen. They had a population of just over 2,000.

Regardless of the number of villages, the population is already outnumbered.

And the number of new inhabitants is 200 times that of the original population, even 400,000, 250 times that of 500,000.

With all this number, the question arises as to how vast and truly acceptable the Great Forest Zone is.

The hunting and sampling life will require much more area per capita than farming life.

I told Lynne, 'Do you think you can live with half a million elves within your jurisdiction now? I asked the old feeling, "For 7,500 villages," and said, "Nathan Hiraku...? I'm sorry, I can't imagine...'.

I don't think so either. Because it's a larger number of villages than the original population.

I remember when Lynne and I first went to our hometown village, saying, 'There's a lot of food around here, so you can live together for about 300 people,' but it's not that dimensional anymore, is it?

And Lynne's statement at that time also meant that in the life of an elf relying on hunting and gathering, it was difficult for more than 300 people to live in one place, even where food was abundant.

And the woods won't be all about food-rich places.

The problem of not having enough elves to collect can be solved in time, but there is nothing we can do about not having enough forest tolerance.

Meanwhile, in me, I am coming to the conclusion that it is impossible for Elves and humans to live together, and since it is almost definitive in one of Lynne's sister's cases, I believe that coexistence in a way that completely separates the places where we live and does not have contact with each other is ideal form.

Things may change a few hundred years into the future, but now we won't be able to go in and mingle as neighbors and coexist or live together in cooperation with each other.

So if it's unacceptable in the woods, how many people are going to take it on in the mines?

100,000? 200,000?... Can you feed me? Can it be accommodated in the first place?

Anyway, there are 50,000 people in the Kingsville who are going to be gone for a little while. Before the Civil War, the entire population of Count Negroste's territory was 80,000.

When it comes to 200,000 people, it's already a completely substandard number.

If you calculate it lightly, even if you estimate the cost of food to be as low as 300 astr per person per day, it is roughly 11 billion astr per 100,000 people per year.

Applying the calculations made in the early days of mining operations, 100 tonnes per day by weight.

Even more so if it's 200,000 people. Yeah......

I honestly feel pretty harsh, but some of the elves from the ranch who have been in the mine since the early days are also starting to come out that will be bump collecting LV2.

With that cooperation, it might be a little painful but not impossible......?

However, if I fail to do so, the Elves' lives will be at stake, so I will ask my old members to gather to talk to me.

Me and my sister, Rhina and Nina will be joined, and Elf Momentum will be joined by Lynne and the pharmacist, Lena by Serres and Hilse. We also called Renne, Linne's sister, so there's a total of 10 of them.

Start by explaining the situation and the estimates I've tried a lot from me, and I'll put the execution ahead of next year because I'm ready, and I'll ask for your opinion. The pharmacist opened his mouth first.

"I'd love to! If you don't have enough money, I'll make you money for whatever I do!

That's right, the pharmacist is aggressive. There are other mines in the country besides here, so you won't even be able to be a pharmacist who knows the environment of that hell.

Renne sitting next to Lynne seems to agree. It would be natural for two people who had a harsh experience to be aggressive.

Then he opened his mouth, which was surprisingly Nina.

"It's about food buying, but at 100 tons a day, we're going to be buying and collecting from a fairly wide area, from the north to the east of the kingdom. I think we can manage transport, but there will be a widespread surge in food prices.

In the case of 200 tonnes a day, the rise in prices is a concern across the country. We cannot guarantee that transport will also proceed smoothly. If you are unluckily overlapping, it is likely to be a major disruptive factor. "

Oh, Nina, you've become reliable...

On the other hand, it makes me happy with my growth, and the content of my remarks is very heavy.

They say the entire population of the kingdom is about 3.5 million, so when it comes to 200,000, it hits 5.7%.

The Elves are not fed basic foods, so if that number starts eating a crowded meal, that's the only food problem on a national scale.

Wow, that's so important (oh and) this......

The pharmacist's expression gets harsher on Nina's statement, which virtually shows the difficulty, but the pharmacist is not foolish enough to argue emotionally with what was explained in the theory.

From Nina's point of view, the pharmacist is a big benefactor who got the burn healed, so it was quite painful to say an opinion against the person's wishes, and he looks sorry to lay his gaze down, but I think he did well.

That's just how much Listella appreciates it, and she's growing up to be an excellent kid.

It was Mr Ceres who then spoke.

"Aside from the food problem, we can't prepare for a place where up to 500,000 people live in another year. Well then, given the situation of being used as slaves of the people, wild exposure and camping might be better..."

Mr. Lena follows that statement.

"Clothes, one by one, are finally going to arrive during the year, but I'm worried about the winter cold if there's no decent clothes in the camp. If we're going to do this, we're going to have to switch clothes production to cold clothes now, so please make a decision as soon as possible."

Do these two feel passive in favor?

Mr. Hilse also speaks with his hands up small.

"I'm suddenly worried about a lot of kids who don't know anything, even if they want to move quite a few of them into the woods. Wouldn't it be better if we educated the kids who are here now a little more so they can take care of the new ones?

Is Mr. Hilse a postponer......

But there's a problem with that, and that's the third problem I think. Alternating (more or less) the workforce of elf slaves requires less of a human workforce.

To this end, the biggest opportunity will now be the high number of unemployed persons as a result of last year's civil war.

I know I'm in too much of a hurry, but if I put it off years away, it could be out of time...

Oh, Mr. Rhina raised her hand.

"Listening to what I've been saying, it seems like a premise to take everyone together, but in turn, can't that explain it?

This is a question for me, isn't it?

"Uh, as long as we don't stop the ranch from functioning, I think that sequentially, the number of people who increase production and end up being used as slaves will remain the same, right? So if we are to do it, I think we have to be in the direction of eliminating the very system of elf slavery. So I'm really going to put it together at once."

"... can you guess how to get rid of the system?

"I don't know if I'm going to succeed, but I have something on my mind."

"I see..."

Or if it's not in the direction of eliminating the system itself, how can it be impossible?

As 450,000 people, it would be AST 45 billion if I bought it for AST 1 million per person in the market. An astronomical sum. There's no way I can get it out.

There's no way to buy up one mine per unit like here, but if you buy up a mine and release the elves, production will stop. I was allowed to do this because it was a gold mine, but if it was a life-intensive iron mine, it would be inevitable.

And, Lynne utters words with a rugged look.

"Yoichi. It's about food, but the most problematic is during the winter. From the second year onwards, whether you can get past the first winter will be the key (the key), as if you can handle it if you go out to collect even half a serving. So in the meantime, as food, I wonder if we can hunt dragons."

... what? Dragon?

That's a fantastic world with elves and stuff, but my time stopped for too many fantastic creature names...
