Three years have passed since then.

Currently I am 15 years old.

After the wheat harvest, the village's population grew to 70.

Forty people have increased. Not only young children, but also quite large ones ... The fact that there were many children about ten years old suggests that the food situation is quite bad.

For the next three years, there was no famine, but more parents have given up their children from heavy taxes and the population is now 100. I can't laugh.

From my point of view, none of the nations has a very large population.

I don't think so many children are born every year ...

Isn't this dangerous?

Naturally, some children have been abandoned outside of the forest or sold as slaves.

By the way, it is a breakdown of 100 people, but 30 people are 15 to 12 years old. Forty-one from 11 to 8 years old. Thirty people are eight years or younger.

The old fields in the village are now running short, so we are starting to cut down trees and increase the fields.

Livestock are four cows and ten goats. Ten chickens.

I'd like to introduce pigs if I can afford more ...

Any more will be rejected by the surrounding villages.

The reason is that the number was originally obtained through forcible negotiations.

Oops, there are some things you must remember about animals.

Recently, So Young has picked up three hawk larvae.

Anyway, they brought them to the nest to see that their parent birds were hard to return.

It looks like a large species of hawk, but this world was probably eaten by terrible raptors roaming in the sky.

I was suspicious that I could be raised, and I said I should throw it away because I need a lot of meat to raise it, but I was told, "I can't abandon a child with no parents, though it's a little different from ourselves."

Eventually, the other children asked me to help me, and she admitted it.

If you throw it away, it's bad for education.

Also, Soyoung, Tetra, and another, Lulu, were beginning to show their magical talents.

So maybe I could put a soul on this hawk ...

There was also a heart.

By the way, as planned, the three hawks are hunting with them.

If the result is good, everything is good.

In the last three years, surveys of the entire forest have been completed, and some abandoned villages have been found.

It's from a time before our village, it's tattered but better than plowing from scratch.

There are plans to relocate people to the growing population.

By the way, the relationship with Griffon still continues.

I regularly bring alcohol and talk.

I want you to protect it in case of emergency.

And now I'm alone to Yulia.

Julia and I were all together to train our children for magic.

But recently, he has said he wants to meet alone once in three.

I don't know why.

When I asked, she was returned as a maiden.

I understand, I don't know ...

"Hey, Julia. I'm here ..."

When I break through the grass, Julia jumps into my eyes.

Naked.

"Cho, Almus !?"

Yulia sinks into the lake in a hurry.

Only his back looked unfortunate.

His back was pure white and beautiful.

And there is one thing to worry about.

"Well, what's like a small letter on the shoulder?"

"Huh? This is a sacred character."

The sacred character is a picture like a character used in ceremonies. It's a 70% picture with 30% letters. It has a very complicated shape.

There is no practicality.

"Is it a magic?"

"Yeah. Everybody is carving when they are about five years old. But it has little effect. I feel that carving is better because it feels just like it. I guess. "

"But the kids weren't there?"

"Well, it can only be carved by a certain amount of sorcerers.

I see.

In other words, is the carved person born with a high status?

"I want you to do it too."

"Ahahahaha. If Almus comes to our country, raise it."

"It's not possible consultation"

For now, though.

If the size of the village grows as it is, it will be noticed someday. If you don't belong to a big country somewhere, it will taste bad.

For the time being, it turns into a bat and deceives it.

Even if you take that kind of place into account, you should not attach importance to Yulia.

"... I mean, how long have you been watching me?"

"Oh, sorry"

I look back.

The water makes a noise, and after a while you can hear the cloth rubbing.

At the age of fifteen, Julia has become quite a woman.

Specifically, my chest.

Recently my son has begun to react a bit.

By the way, Tetra is milk. Not small breasts. There, don't make a mistake. You will be killed if you make a mistake.

"Almus. I changed clothes. You can look back."

Finally, forgiveness comes out.

"Well, why were you bathing?"

"No, today I stepped on it and found it on the lookout. I was chasing after me. I managed to scatter it, but I got sweaty.

That's hard.

Or rather, it's more strange that they haven't been found in the last three years.

Lookout, you're too incompetent.

"I'm sorry I may not be able to come even now, right?"

"Good. Be careful."

When I answered so, Julia looked a little sad.

Was it too quiet

"Hey, bread."

"I did it! This is delicious."

Julia rejoices over the bread I have offered.

Yulia seems to be quite upper class, but the food doesn't seem to be good.

There is no help for it because there is no technology.

My bread contains eggs, goat milk and yeast.

It must be the best bread in the world.

"After this"

I hand a small vase to Julia.

"What? This is it !!"

"honey"

Julia has rounded her eyes.

It's too early to decide this world ... honey is a valuable item, at least in this area.

Apparently, they collect honey by taking nests from the forest, raising them and collecting honey.

This is no more annoying.

So I decided to build a birdhouse.

Bees tend to build nests in small spaces.

If you build a birdhouse, you don't have to go out and look for the bees.

By the way, it is doubtful that bees are not stabbed, but the orphanage's grandfather (the director) was a fierce man who exterminates giant hornet without protective clothes and fries bees on the table.

I was watching it in a distant winding, so I understand the point.

The question of whether anaphylactic shock is okay is easily solved. Because he was stabbed twice before he wanted to build a birdhouse.

This body is not a problem with bees.

Naturally, we did not let the children do it. I don't know if they are resistant.

"It's delicious! It's amazing.

"I don't have much.

To collect honey, you must break the beehive. That's why you have to re-collect the bees one by one.

In modern beekeeping, there seems to be a way to collect only honey without breaking the beehive ...

I don't know.

I couldn't make it anyway because I was using a terrible machine.

I should have watched more honey variety shows in such cases.

I didn't think it would transfer to another world ...

If I knew it, I looked it up online ...

Is there no other way to think about such stupid things?

Anyway, this honey becomes a weapon.

I'm gonna buy the power.

You may be able to do anything to save this knowledge for life.

"Hey, tell me!"

"No, we can't survive without this knowledge because we have so few."

Really bad, but potential enemies can't tell you anything important.

Well, I've talked a lot to Yulia.

"So what are you talking about today?"

"The kingdom of Rossais ... about the political system in your country. I hope you don't hear about that soon."

Well, I can imagine to some extent.

"That's right. It feels like a coalition government of the royal family centered on King Rossais. Every country is the same. Since our nation has the power of the royal family, it is more an alliance than a master-servant relationship. What is untouched about King Ferm? "

"Is King Ferm a recently independent king?"

"Yes, just four years ago, when you and I met. You took control of the land with the people who were dissatisfied with the royal family at the time of the famine-the Ass family. So King Rossais He has sent tribute to both King Rosais and King Demorgarh, so we have no hands on him, because if he crosses with the kingdom of Demorgarh, he will die. "

Julia shrugged.

It seems that the kingdom of King Rossais and the king of Demorgar are three times as powerful.

It can be understood from the presence or absence of ironware.

"Rosaith is sick right now. The battle isn't very hard but impossible.

Julia sighs sadly.

The sorcerer also seems to have trouble.

"But Ferm seems to be a shit recently, because changing the king doesn't mean that the agricultural technology will change. It feels like she's holding her dissatisfaction with violence.

"I hate it. I don't want to be involved in killing if possible."

Five people have been killed in the last three years.

If you return without killing, many will come.

They need to be killed for warnings.

I have many hands ... but I don't want the kids to do that.

I don't know if it will come true.

"By the way, Almus. Why don't you meet my father?"

"I don't want to pay taxes, you know."

If you fall under some control, you have to pay taxes. I hate it.

Even if it's fate that's inevitable someday, I want to put off as much as possible.

"Huh? Did I talk about my father?"

"I haven't talked, but your father is a great man, so it's likely to happen automatically."

"Oh, yeah. Oh, ok, okay. Regarding taxes. If you're going to pay, I'll be happy enough to give me this amount of honey every month. Do n’t you think there ’s something better? ”

"Hmm, sure."

It's tough not to go out with anyone.

Now that the number of people has increased, what we want is also increasing.

For example, livestock.

We want more, but we need a big deal to do so.

Other things like clothes, salt and medicine.

"I'll see you only once."

"That's it! Tomorrow, here at the lake. I'll bring my clothes and don't worry."

So I met Julia's father.
