Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

Episode 1200: The Long Night Has Dawned

Dawn from a raid on a village on the territorial border at the behest of tobacco traffickers led by the Loughnecks, overnight. Kate and the others first succeed in surviving an enemy night attack with several casualties on their side, persuaded by the name of intimidation. And by the end of the night, a young man named Yaha, the son of the village chief, had come to Kate.

"One, I want you to take the request"

Yaha tells Kite secretly. So much so that I can bring the story at this hour. Whatever it was, anyone found out that the story was something they couldn't publicly talk about.

"Request, right. Let's just say that depends. I'm here at this hour. Somebody's gonna find out. It's an awkward request, right?

"Oh......"

Yaha only once, take a deep breath and calm down. Thus, he never opened his mouth.

"I want us out of this village."

"Do you want me to miss it? From who?"

"... you've already noticed, haven't you?

Without giving details, Yaha asks Kite what her village is doing behind her back. There was no doubt in its eyes. but here kite dares to choose to blur.

"What are you talking about?

"It's a cigarette... your buddy's in the pantry. You can't possibly not know."

"I see..."

Apparently, Yaha was hearing about Sola entering the pantry. This is his mistake - of course, it is true that he went in - but still there must be some evidence in the village beyond what he made clear.

"Aurai. I went into the pantry...... unfortunately, no such report has come up from Sora. But let's be clear about what you noticed."

"Huh..."

Yaha accidentally glanced at me. Kate dared him to avoid misunderstandings. This should not be made public. If so, you should let them tell you. That's good, though, if you know what I mean. So Yaha decides to keep talking.

"... and that said. I was aware of that, so that's good, right?

"Oh. You know Lumio's village, don't you?

"... there too, involved"

"I know. Before that I was also going to the southernmost village and read that that would be the boundary"

"Huh..."

Yaha caught a slight glimpse of Kate's manoeuvres and understood with all her heart that she was different from herself. They knew everything this one wanted to say.

"Well, if I'm sorry on top of that... where I didn't make it while I knew there was a raid. No... perhaps Commander Galahad has delayed it."

"... what do you mean?

"I was rarely called to the command post when I left yesterday. It's just a message. Probably just in case you don't make it... you misread this note."

To Yaha's slightly surprised inquiry, Kate honestly tells her where she stands. And this was right. I don't even know if Galahad would know about this case or not, but at least the Milix family on it, plus the Loughneck family on it, were sure to tell with that intent.

I can predict that. The kites are among the best in the Crusades. In case there is any leakage in the information, I would immediately order it not to be leaked. This is why it can only be described as plausible, even ostensibly.

but unfortunately this time it would be that the other person was abandoned by heaven. Because of the presence of the kites in the village wind, the sun spotted the smell of fire and moved on to action well before they assumed. Well, there was Canaan, whether the sunshine was there or not. Either way, it's a few minutes' difference. The results will be together.

"... well..."

After all, is that the place? Apparently, Yaha could have imagined them there, too. I've already told the village chiefs why Lumio and the others came here yesterday. No wonder he, my son, knows. And that's why he never asked Kite to do it again.

"... then I guess I don't have to dare say it anymore... please. Escort us to General Eric."

"At General Eric's..."

Apparently, the Erlic clan was just really fitted in. Kate will probably grasp everything from Yaha's attitude to grasp it. That said, it was necessary to have all the information he could know in order to be sure of it.

"Talk to me. So far, I only know what was said at the request of Uncle Millix. but that's called an official announcement. I know as much as I know I'm lying."

"... ok. Longer, and awkward for anyone to see. Just a little bit, let's move."

Yaha honestly believes in Kite's slightly ly-minded words and enters someone's house nearby. I don't know if the residents were evacuated or dead, but the keys were open and unpopular inside.

That's how the two of them sat down in the living room there, and Yaha started talking where Kate made tea to warm up her body with the fall dawn.

"... this one thing. It was the inhabitants of our neighboring villages who actually produced the cigarette."

First, Yaha makes clear the perpetrators of the forgery. It won't start without making this clear. And he started talking just a little easier because he had confessed.

"Originally, this is the nearby village of the mine... right. It was pretty neglected."

"Lumio and the others have also told me. We're losing people from mine closures."

"Oh... so my father and Mido's uncle got together and said," What are we going to do? Well, it was happening several times a year. There he appeared a man named Earl. "

What Yaha said would not be surprising in Japan. The village they live in is a local village, and now they say there is no blind industry. If so, young people may go out to urban areas or become adventurers and expand their activities if they are in Enefia. Rather than that, it's natural because agriculture is the only place to work.

That said, I would have to say that not many of the children who left that way are expected to come back to the village. Leave it and the village will only perish. If so, I needed to do something about it. Even if we were discussing that, no wonder. And no wonder the lord's manners came there.

"So, that's what he said. I'd like to increase the subsidy, but I want the young people in the village to take one job."

"Do you want me to grow crops that are abandoned mines,?

"... I think so"

Yaha nodded clearly against the tone, even if he was slightly silent on Kite's inquiry. He wasn't at the crime scene to the extent that my father told me about it.

"My father and I both felt suspicious about the conversation... but he had official documents from the lord. Now, if it's obvious, it's obvious..."

Yaha mocks herself at the time. Because he's a lord, he's never asked for anything unjust. Daimyo, they wanted to make something that would be a specialty of some village on a trial basis.

"So we got together in the village to discuss it and let them take the lord's offer, we talked. So I followed the words of the messenger and drove out the man in the village, and he said," I got in the carriage. "

Ha, and Yaha sighed. That's how I wet my mouth with tea and started talking again.

"Between the mines and the mountains. There is a field there... Unpack it for me, so the village man plowed it over and brought in fertilizer... so I was given the seed once I was able to unpack it. When I hear what kind of seed it is, it's a species of aubergine."

"I see. That's not a lie."

"Oh. I just saw the leaves that I grew up with, and I just thought they were big leaves."

Yaha laughs at Kate's words. Cigarettes are plants belonging to the genus Aubergine Tobacco, if you consider them plants. Neither has the messenger lied. Without the knowledge of cigarettes, even the Earthlings didn't realize it was a tobacco leaf. That was about the characteristic.

"That said, there were some people who wondered whether it was because they were farmers or eggplant growers were grown a little differently... but since flowers actually bloomed similar to eggplant, by then there were hardly any people who wondered. Because of the large leaves, I was delighted that I could make an oversized eggplant. But, strangely enough, you told me to retrieve the leaves before they came to fruition. A lot of people wondered there."

"What did the Count say?

"It's a drug ingredient," he said.

"That's not a lie again."

Kate laughs unexpectedly. Once upon a time - and I'm talking more than a hundred years ago - cigarettes were widely distributed as medicines on Earth as well. Even in Enefia, this was the case until the health hazards of the elves were reported. Simply because back in the day, there wasn't a word in it. That's how Kite, who laughed a lot, urges ahead.

"Hmm... so, what time did you realize?

"Well... it was only four years before Lumio and the others were there... about two years ago. It's about time we finally made it possible for tobacco to grow steadily."

Apparently, this story started when Lumio and the others were around. That said, by then, the Lumios were in their early teens as a very old man. It is not hard to imagine that he was not counted as a man in the work of sleepover in a carriage - and unpacking it requires more strength.

Perhaps if Lumio's home had been involved, it would have been his brother who was the subject. Within doing so, Lumio left the village with Mido, which would mean this one.

"How did you realize that?

"When I was able to report that cigarettes were able to grow steadily? Around that time, Lord Roughneck and Uncle Millix arrived once. Then a little bit, strange equipment and a bunch of strange people set up behind the pit and started doing something. I want to work here all at once because transporting raw materials can cause deterioration, because it can be affected by outside air, and the work is done by professionals who have learned how to do it properly."

"I see... have you gathered all the people involved in one place to avoid exposure of information?"

"I think so"

Yaha agrees with Kate's guess. Perhaps these professionals are for some reason gathered by the Loughnecks. Maybe the circumstances are the same as theirs. That said, if you look at the Loughneck family's movements, you're probably there, after it's already been finished.

"So... rub it with the guys in the back a little by then. Looks like they were worried because they were working in the dark behind the pit... we used to get into their place of work. So I figured out what we were made of."

"I see... so now if I find out, I'll tell the story."

"... oh"

Yaha nodded clearly at Kate's words with a sinking face. Later festival by the time I found out. After the cigarettes they had made were already in circulation and they had not even tried to lend a hand to cigarette smuggling. There is room for extenuating circumstances because the circumstances are circumstances, but some punishment will not be dispensed with. As such, he moves the story to recent times.

"... recently. It was usually a weekly stay-in job to go back, but I was instructed to go back. This has never happened before. So, when I got back on guard, the newspaper suddenly told me that General Eric was leading the case... and I realized that this was happening..."

Yaha shudders her shoulders when she talks about what needs to be said. I guess there is regret and sadness. Then he closed his eyes tightly for the first time and offered to Kite to squeeze over.

"... so I want you to send us to General Eric... no more of this village..."

This raid would, above all, have been a true representation of what the Millicks and the Loughnecks, who are on top of it, think. It seems that we understand that Yaha intends to disappear as well.

"Hmm..."

Kate is slightly surprised as she listens to Yaha. If you want to kill me, you should have killed me in the mountains. Why did you bother putting that back? That's where I was concerned.

(Because if this one thing happens without anyone leaving...? Besides, it is good to assume that the whole village knows how it is. Then let me reassure you once you're home, okay? So this whole thing happened pretty suddenly? No, is that...)

Kate lays her speculations on speculation and makes her imagination circle so that she can manage to get to the answer at all. That's how I realized there was one mystery that I still didn't understand.

"With that said... the cigarette fields were over there, weren't they?

"... oh"

"You didn't ask me where to do it next, or something?

"Next?"

"Oh...... he said the cigarette fields would probably burn down. And I was also ready to burn it down. If so, what are you thinking next? I don't care what they think."

In response to Yaha tilting her neck, Kite explains the details. I'd say this cigarette smuggling was going pretty well. If so, it was possible that he was thinking of something next.

"With that said... I wonder what it was. Uncle Millix once asked me if I knew a farmer who grew hemp not long before I learned about cigarettes..."

"Ma...? Why do you want hemp..."

Kate tilts her neck at Yaha's information. but then, a few years ago, I remembered that we talked a little bit about it on Earth.

"No... wait... hemp... eh!

Kate noticed the answer and opened her eyes. Sure enough, I could understand that there was no hesitation in burning down the tobacco fields or returning them. On the contrary, I am in the way of being there.

And you can't even kill him. We should be hiding this case, probably carrying equipment in. There will be no room to carry the body out.

Of course, it is strictly forbidden because leaving the body intact in the pit can cause the creation of demons. Worst of all, if someone becomes a Fallen, that's not what covered up or anything happened. Fallen people are very capable. And the cause is limited.

No matter how many neighboring nobles gather, if that happens, the kingdom will have to be moved directly to investigate on the boulder. Cover-up will be difficult, and of course the pit will collapse in the fight against the Fallen.

"Right! You want to use the further back of the tunnel! Marquis Roughneck is out for the convenience of transferring superficial control authority! If so…"

The aim is marijuana. Kate understands the thoughts of the Roughnecks. Cannabis cultivation is a common topic in Japan, but it can also be done indoors. In Enefia, where it is relatively easy to have magic props and special equipment in place, it is possible to do so in abandoned pits. On the contrary, it's a pit. Excellent ventilation is provided, and no one will wonder where it was.

And there's this case and it's tightly sealed off, and no one suspects it. Of course, even adventurers don't get into that kind of situation. I thought about what happened after that. It was a deal.

"Did General Erlic hold the evidence?"

Then I can be convinced to get this far. This is true on Earth, but cannabis is punished much more severely if it is tobacco and cannabis. It's not uncommon for Enefia to say that marijuana, and therefore the worst when it comes to drugs, is the country that will be condemned to death. The Empire is one of them. but naturally, the price is different digits.

Perhaps the Erlic clan accidentally grabbed the evidence. Otherwise I will not behave unscrupulously with the nobles so far. If so, the muscles came through.

"... what's the matter, suddenly..."

"Give me a minute. I'm gathering my thoughts."

Against Yaha, who looks surprised, Kate sticks her left hand forward and hangs the stop. As such, we rapidly compile ideas on what to do. And you should get the answer.

"... you can take it. but is that your father's will?

"... my father said no. I can't abandon this village... so just the hopeful."

"... No, I can't do that. Again, you should try hanging with your father. If you do, we'll use your free time as an adventurer and send it to you."

"Is that true!

Yaha opened her eyes to Kite's conditional acceptance. Of course, there are several reasons and other conditions for this. That said, I'm not going to talk about it now.

"That said, if you could persuade your father. Detailed terms and several other operations need to be discussed."

"Okay. Leave that to me."

"... then good. And if there's anything that hurts your father because you know, but we can't discuss it, we'll get out of this story. You know that."

"Oh."

Yaha nodded clearly at Kate's words. Even if I were him, I wouldn't even try to kill my father. As such, Yaha quickly returned to her home, and Kate stayed put and contacted Tina to make a few moves.
