Sougen no Okite ~Shii Yatsu ga Moteru, Ii Buzoku ni Umarekawatta zo~

Near the border between empire and kingdom, across the border between empire and meadow, the Great Lakes, where waterfowl formed herds in the summer.

I was snubbing my breath and targeting waterfowl.

The reason I came here starts with what happened eight days ago.

I summoned Rucci and Zu to sit in front of me.

"Hey Lucci, Zoo, next time I'm going to the kingdom and go shopping. Anything you want?

It would also be worthwhile for a man to ask for a souvenir snack he wants.

The only reason I don't ask the slave wives is because it's okay for me to buy them and give them away on my own, and it's not supposed to be good for them to screw around.

"Me, I want a new hair decoration"

Zoo answered well.

"Okay."

"And I think Himika would probably want it around. I think Roche wants hair decorations too. I think Lilyn has good hair decorations."

Zoo answered that with a few thoughts.

This is one of the manipulations in which the slave wife doesn't say what she wants directly from me, but the wife upstairs predicts what the slave wife wants.

"Yeah, how's Lucci?

"Right, I want white flour"

That again, or the kingdom cosmetics, but I don't want to give it to Lucci because I use mercury. Mercury is transmitted as a long-lived medicine in the south and in the meadows, and I don't think you'll believe me when I say it's dangerous. Not using mercury is an inferior product, and that's the only reason I can't because if I give it to Lucci, I'll underrate Lucci.

"You said yes would like an embroidered cloth, Anne would like a hair decoration, Lamis would like a cloth, Noel would like a front sheet, a brush and ink, and then... I think Ellen would like a cheek red too, Elena. I think Shree has good hair decoration."

"I know what everyone wants, Lucci"

"Yes."

"You don't want anything but white powder? I don't like that one."

Lucci has a blatantly pungent face.

"Okay. Then...... The..."

"If it's anything but white powder, don't hesitate."

"Well, I heard it's very expensive, but I want a mirror from the kingdom."

"Okay. A mirror."

But you did hear that mirrors are very expensive, so I'm a little nervous about fur and wool. All right!

I made preparations and headed to this lake to get waterfowl.

This waterfowl has beautiful white feathers and its feathers can be sold high in the kingdom.

The meat is very delicious, but if it dries without sunshine, the taste will disappear. So I can't sell in the kingdom.

Blood on the feathers will make it less valuable. Then I can't use the bow and arrow like the guy who came to get the meat that's always there.

Just use the throwing rope like the guy over there and you'll be fine, but I'm not that good at throwing rope.

Then there is one way to do it.

The cage that Urge made me, the stick of the tree, the rope that sticks to it, and the bait.

Support the cage with a stick of wood and place the bait underneath.

And kill your breath and wait for your prey to stop downstairs.

Hold still, kill your breath, just wait like there's nothing there.

One waterfowl approached.

I'm slowly approaching and looking around.

Yeah, just like that.

Waterfowl noticed the bait.

Eat, eat, eat.

The moment the waterfowl fed, I pulled the rope all at once.

A cage falls and a waterfowl rumbles in the cage.

I instantly approach and hold the cage from the top.

It's hard to predict the fluttering and rampant waterfowl quieting down. Tilt the cage slightly and remove the waterfowl.

Beautifully take the feathers, remove and dismantle the blood drain, and pack them in a bag.

And set the trap again.

I was able to catch three waterfowls in one day.

Pretty good for the number of catches a day.

In the case of bows and throwing ropes, even if they fail, even if they succeed, they go to the imperial side in large quantities, and there is no second time.

It took me four days to get ten waterfowls. These meats were so delicious.

The day I left this Great Lake was clear with no clouds.

I see an imperial fort on the other side of the lake.

In a place that developed as a stronghold on the imperial side to take waterfowl in this lake.

It seems to be an imperial defensive stronghold that prevents the kingdom from entering.

The kingdom has attacked this fort several times in the past, and it seems that it has not been able to take it.

It is a fort that I ignored even when the Empire broke in three years ago.

I was hoping the weather would be nice today, but I took a waterfowl and went back to Longa's settlement once.
