Stranger’s Handbook

75 Duke of Zest Territorial Change

"It is fatal! The Duke Zest shall have as its territory the northern half, including the capital of the former kingdom of terminals, and shall be allowed to be named Zest-Gaius-Terminal"

"I accept your life."

He said he'd forgive the name of the old kingdom.

[Zest, let's defend the Empire! You, the wall]

Here's the thing.

Your majesty pushed me.

After His Majesty's messenger returns, I will consult with my master

"Master, Uncle Neighborhood will get the south, won't he? Turn the food."

"Well, you will. To the north..."

Yeah, there's no barn zone north.

From the capital to the north, wetlands and sandlands cross, and a little bit to the sea.

Normally there are no wetlands on the coast...

Oh, I wonder if Kujukurihama in Japan would apply.

It's a terrain so rare that it hardly exists anywhere else.

When it comes to crops that can be made in wetlands, it's rice, but unfortunately I can't find it.

Even the inhabitants of this world are not stupid.

If you had, you'd be making it.

"Then I wonder if there's only fishing"

"Son-in-law, the fish have to ask the Beasts... see"

"Oh, no fishermen because the old kingdom discriminated..."

In a world where this discrimination is so abhorrent, there's no such thing as a nobleman.

But there are occupations that one species has almost monopolized.

That's fishermen and blacksmiths.

I can do it if any other race wants to, but there's an overwhelming difference in strength and it's not a battle.

Forge men see people, but fishermen don't come first.

Fishermen who don't use machines in the sea where demons come out, they can't do it unless they're good beasts.

"... do you want to use the Hermans?

"That's the only way."

They're the beasts, including former rebel representative Herman.

Now Albert was taking care of the city, cleaning and restoring it.

I had a handy maid soldier tell Albert to run for fisherman.

Basically, he's an aristocratic child, so he's brilliant, Maid Troop.

... Brain muscle, though.

"And then... are you replenishing a civilian?"

Don't answer this, my master. He just looks sinister.

Master...... I'm still working overtime today, give up

It ended up late at night...... I thought I'd get more clerical work when I came out, but this is gonna die.

Mr. Civilian...... please come because I'll give you a pay tap

The next day, we took Albert and Herman to the coast.

300 of the 1,500 former rebels volunteered

He admires Albert and wants to be a soldier for the rest.

... pray that the dogs are not produced in mass

Along the way, a bandit or a mutilated soldier came out...

"Hahahahaha, kill the bandits!

"Don't let one get away with it, poke him to death!

"It's been a while since I've been able to exercise. Wow"

"I'm pregnant, don't touch me!!

Hmm?

"Media, you're not pregnant, you idiot!

There was a women's death party held by the maid squad.

There was a man in some of them, but he looked like a woman, so he had no choice.

Don't stare at the media...... I told you I can't give you pregnancy leave

"My lord, you said you wouldn't treat me like a man..."

"Then do you want Tarcell back?

"... it's discrimination!

"Distinguished, big fool!!

media to hold his face down with his hands, but no one is worried

"Is there someone crying while you say yoyo! Do it a little better!

I got to the coast when I was on such a recent routine.

They're greeted by the beasts for some reason... what are they

Nice to meet you, Duke. I'm the head of these people.

Auntie...... an old beast woman talks flat

I hear there's a village of beasts who escaped the oppression of the old terminal kingdom.

The number of people lived in secluded fishing for about 50, but the kingdom lost in the war.

I heard the beasts were allowed to work, but I couldn't trust them.

When we get people out to confirm, the beasts really live normal.

Then they met us where they came from.

Yeah, you're good at it for once.

"So I'm going to build a fisherman's village, but will you join me? If you don't want to, I'll show you to the city, and I'll do my best to help you with your work.

She nodded gladly at this offer

The Cat Beast ladies had a lot of fishermen, but rather enough to keep their heads down that they wanted them to stay in the village.

Of course I do.

I want to build a fisherman's village and get a lot of fish, so there's no reason to say no.

I'll give instructions to Herman and the others to finish the territory that is the basis of the village.

If it takes shape for now, I'll take care of it later.

I don't like my job.

Albert's piling for territory.

... don't ask him to do anything difficult

"My lord, I'm done hitting you"

"Albert, don't bury it all. Get a little off the ground."

Don't look 'ah'...

You said it was territorial, didn't you?

We had some happenings, but they're acceptable.

Rather, if it's done to that extent, it's done well.

By sundown, it was more or less over.

We'll be village chiefs later. We'll leave it to Herman.

That's what I heard when I was thinking.

"No, then we can't fence around the village."

"Why? If we had 10 round-tails, would that be enough?

"I could only make 50 fenced boards just now from a single marutai. We need at least 800 pieces for the fence, and at least six more pieces."

"... I see you have calculations. Where'd you calculate that? You don't have any tools... did you even write them on the ground?

"If that's how it works, I'm good at calculating."

That's the Cat Beast Girl who laughs...

............... Mitsuketa, Civilian Mitsuketa!

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

out of the darkness. Suddenly, she cried frightened to the suspicious releasing a dangerous word

... Albert, you're laughing too much
