Shinario-dōri ni Taijō Shita no ni, Imasara Nan no Goyōdesu ka?

Rufez remained in eye contact with me, silent for a short time.

"…… It must be difficult."

The answers returned with a serious face show that he answered after a thorough thought. I guess that's what Rufez thinks for some reason.

May I ask why?

"Oh. The peripheral village of Galeu is situated in a steep mountainous area. That's why we have a different vegetation than this warm king's capital."

"Yeah."

Surely, if there are no significant climatic or geological differences, all those unusual plants won't grow that much.

"It takes three weeks to fly a carriage from Wang Du, but the distance is away first."

"…… That's a long way off."

"That's a long way from the border. Physically distant and bad roads"

I only know this king's capital and your father's territory, which is quite close. Both roads were well paved with large cobblestones, and even on the carriage, they had never been troubled by shaking.

But it's not hard to imagine that the more you go to the border, the worse the road conditions will get.

"If the road is bad, it won't go fast. Sometimes what you bought because of it can be easily damaged by impact, so merchants can distract you."

"Ah...... sure. Minerals will still have a huge impact on fruits and other foods."

If you think about it, Blue Folka is a beautiful thing to carry. Because it is soft and rich in moisture, it would be the most pleasant thing to say in terms of susceptibility to damage.

"And there are bandits in that neighborhood."

"Bandits"

My mouth opened unexpectedly.

After all, I'm really here.

Although I did encounter that word as part of my classroom, it felt like it was the first time I had a real feeling about it.

"Oh, I've had this conversation with my father before. There's a certain number of thieves out there in areas where life is tough. It's a headache problem."

"Well, is your father having a headache, too?

"Well. Wouldn't it be better if it were just Wang Du and the surrounding area? Besides, there are only a few soldiers and adventurers in that neighborhood, and there's a lot of damage from warcraft."

"Adventurers were a lot of images on the periphery."

"There are guilds in some big villages and towns, but not in small rural areas."

The more you listen, the tougher the surrounding village is. Rather, I often find it impressive that the merchants carried supplies until they formed a merchant squad.

"… the neighbors live in a much harsher environment than they live in this king's capital."

Really, it's a lot harsher than I expected.

"Yeah, and it's pretty hard to get to and from there. Far away, dangerous, and concerned about carrying. I must say, the merchants are less attractive."

I guess the reason Rufes is a sinister face all the time is because I've come to the conclusion that even the fold I talked to your father about this cannot be easily improved.

Can't we at least just do something about the road?

If the merchants could come and go safely, the village's products could be redeemed and the village would be moisturized.
