"Hey, Ars. I heard about the dispatch to Fort Einrad. Sure, I'll go."
"You're a fast ear, brother Byte. But I was thinking of sending Lord Peacha and his acquaintance Vargas to Fort Einlad."
"What are you talking about, Ars? I'm supposed to go. I'm not moving here until you give me permission."
"What's the matter, brother Byte? You're quite a strongman today. Is something wrong?
"Is something wrong, I don't know. You and Kyle built your own house. Though my majesty as a brother will be gone. It's time for me to show my man here, too."
"I think my part-time brother's been active enough. I mean, it's nothing. I'm not going to Fort Einrad to fight. You know exactly what I'm talking about, brother Bite?
"That's pre-construction, isn't it? Aren't you supposed to be making bricks for me?
"I'm not mistaken, but it's not the main fight. Well, okay. Let me explain something to you."
You must have heard somewhere about the dispatch of the owner of the Barca surname I spoke to Peacha.
My part-time brother came out of it saying he was going.
but apparently he's willing to fight.
The request for cooperation from Fort Einlad to Barca is at the discretion of Peacha.
Last year, the Wolks were quiet to heal the post-battle damage. I'm guessing they're thinking about the possibility of moving.
So it's not like there's any chance it's going to be a fight, as Brother Byte put it.
But when I heard this story, I decided to make new money.
That's called a staffing assignment from Barca.
This dispatch to Peacha will be its first step.
And the purpose of this dispatch is not just for combat acts.
That is, accepting dispatches for non-combat acts as well.
In other words, we decided to undertake improvements to the land.
The Vulcan village where I was born and raised was probably terrible, but what I felt when I was mobilized in the previous war to look at other lands while travelling.
It was that more could be developed within Fontana territory.
I thought it would be possible to make the land we are now using as agricultural land better, even though there is land that has not yet been used.
If Barca's magic can be dispatched to various locations for [landscaping], [soil improvement], or [road laying], the Fontana territory could develop further.
At least, we will definitely be able to increase food production.
So I decided to send Barca's magical possession to what I wanted and develop the land for a fee.
While I'm making money, those with land there will definitely make more money.
That would make the Fontana territory itself even more vibrant.
I had always thought that even if only the Knights of Barca were profitable, they would likely come to the limit sooner or later.
but you can't touch it on your own except on your own territory.
Even if you modify the land without permission just because the harvest will go up, you will always be able to rub it.
So I turned my attention to this Peacha suggestion.
The village around Fort Einrad was slightly improved last time.
As long as Peacha gives permission, he will also be able to get his hands on the farmland without the inhabitants of the land hating him.
I thought that if that achievement appeared as a number, there would be voices from knights from other territories requesting dispatch.
"Finally, you want to tell the people going to Einrad to improve their farmland or do their job building roads, Ars?
"Right. Well, but if you're going to Einrad, you naturally need to be able to fight in self-defense. I don't know what it is."
"Okay, I see what you're trying to say. You agree on that, don't you?
"Right. I'm talking to Lord Peacha. I wonder if the basics are going to be brick construction, improvement of farmland in the surrounding villages and the creation of designated roads."
"Yo. You should listen to what they're saying. Isn't that easy?"
"Wait a minute, brother Byte. Sure, building roads is important, but don't talk about it. The only reason I'm sending them is because of the brick construction and the accompanying land improvements. If it's going to be a battle and it looks dangerous, I want you to pull it up."
"Huh? You're not gonna fight?
"We can fight something else, but it means we can withdraw at our own discretion if it's only dangerous. I am the Lord of the Barca family. I don't have any right of command over there against my part-time brother. It means we want Barca's people to act in such a way that no harm is done in vain."
"... I see"
"And if you're going to be in charge of the secondment, wear your bargaining skills, brother Bite. For once, I'm going to set the price in advance, but when I get over there, I want you to do that later, and I think you're going to say a lot of things about asking for this one. At that time, it is necessary to consider the hassle and danger and undertake it in the appropriate amount. If you sell our abilities cheaply or just do it, you'll be asked to do it again."
"... hey, that sounds harder than I thought, Ars. I don't like that kind of trouble."
"No, I'll make sure you do it, brother Byte. This could be a surprising opportunity. It could be a good experience for Bite Brother."
That said, is it tough to leave it all to Brother Bite all of a sudden?
In the first place, it will be the first attempt ever dispatched.
I honestly don't know the right amount.
I'll have you go with the one who can support that area when it does.
"All right, let's get my part-time brother to talk about Lion. I've acted with you before, and you're relieved, right?
"Lyon? Looks like you could handle it with that guy. All right, all right, Ars. Leave it to me."
"Really, don't just force me, brother Byte. Listen to what Lion has to say."
"I know. He said it was okay."
Although I am slightly disturbed, I have thus decided to entrust Barca's staffing assignment to my part-time brother.
Well, it won't be until the snow melts before we leave anyway.
Let's decide about pricing you to work with everyone by then.
Thus marked the beginning of a new year.
